PEACE MAY COME SOON.
toIersbie-spsnish Ambassador says
War Mean. Ruin to spain

LONDON, June at is understood
that NJ. Hanotaux and other ministers
regard the present situation as intol-
erable. A protracted war, besides de-
stroying commerce, would necessitate
postponing the coming exhibition. 1t
is hoped that the new commercial
agreement between France and the
United States will smooth the way
to French Intervention. in which
certainly Austria and perhaps En-,
gland or other powers will join.
Russia, il is asserted, would be
willing to undertake the office of
mediator to save France the necessity
Of becoming prominent. Count de
Rascon, the Spanish ambassador in
London, who has been interviewed
on the subject, admitted that war
means ruin for Spain, and he said:
"The sentiment is growing in favor of
seeking an honorable peace which
America, considering her unprepared-
ness for war of invasion, would also
welcome in preference to a protracted
struggle involving heavy sacrifices of
money and men. This being so, hope
basis of understanding may be found
leading to peace"

SAMPLE OF "DRoP-IN' TRADE.
The Dealer In Corn snive spoiis the
Real Estate Mans Proud
Boast.

Real estate dealers often console them.
selves during these dull days by remlnis.
ccnces of the periods OF inactivity which
have gone before. A well-known Washing
ton street dealer while in a reminiscent
mood told the following:
The period of inactivity through which
we are now passing reminds me somewhat
Of the days of 1873 when dealer who made
a sale was looked upon as marvel. had
my office at that time on the second floor
Of this building. On the main floor were
the Offices of Reece. Pierce & Co. was in
the habit OF stopping IN each morning ana
greeting Col. Pierce, and usually the greet
ing became a morning visit. One day
i was complaining somewhat bitterly OF the
dullness OF the market, and the colonel re-
marked: i tell you that you miss It by not
getting down on the ground floor. Now we
get great deal of drop-in trade, so to speak,
that never gets to you because of the stairs
"Just as he was closing this remark the
door opened and in stepped a man with a
valise. There, what did ! tell you, said the
co onel. Here's a man who probably wants
TO buy lot and who never would climb up
to you. ! was duly impressed with the truth
Of the statement then, and we both became
silent as the newcomer avanced. As he
came up 10 us he bowed and smiled and then
blandly incurred: Can't sell either of you
some corn salve to-day?
"The colonel was almost overcome, but he
managed to express a decided negative and
the visitor retreated. When he had closed
the door behind him | burst out laughing
and exclaimed: Colonel, if that's the kind
of dropin trade you get down here wait
none Of it. Now, that man would never
trouble me because he could easily see that
any man who could frequently climb the
stairs of this building could not possibly
have corns.' j went upstairs to my office,
leaving the colonel speechless. Chicago

THE relief committee OF the Ameri-
can branch OF the Red Cross society
has issued an appeal to the people of
the United States for any aid that 1t is
possible to procure, and almost any
thing that a generous person can spare
will be available, although money is
the most useful. The president of the
Gallatin national bank, OF New York,
Is the treasurer, and funds may be
safely transmitted to him. This or.
ganization has no other field OF work
than to relieve the distress of the suf.
fering in cases OF war, pestilence and
famine, and its appeal is worthy the
consideration of the people.
