eight pages printed on fine book pa
per and containing sixty five excel

one OF the handsomest and best ad-

A business pointer of great sig
niicance is the steadiness in prices
of commodities. OF the los staple
articles comprised in Bradstreet's
list, fifty five, or more than one half,
advanced in price in February, and
only fifteen declined. The rest re-
mained unchanged. That is, 93 out
of the los either increased or held
their own in that mouth. This is a
good exhibit. 1t shows that there is
general confidence in the business
outlook and an active demand. Pro-
duction is heavy, but the conditions
are SO favorable that prices are we'll

All things considered, President
Mckinley merits the Fluctuations of
his countrymen upon the rounding
out of the tirst year of his admins
tration. Beyond doubt the nation
thinks better of him at the compietion
of the first quarter of his career ms
chief executive today than when he en-
tered the White House a year ago.
IL when he was inaugurated he was
unpossessed of the staunch fiber, the
rugged traits and marked yirility that
seem essential to successful presi-
dent, he certainly has grown mp TO the
requirements of the great office to an
appreciable degree. We may say that
it is exceptional for a new president
to retain in such full measure the 10y
atty OF his partisans and compel the
respect of those who had doubted him
as Mr.. Mckinley has done up to this
time.-Detroit Free Press Dem.

The year between March 4. 1897,
and March 4, 1898, reveals William
Mckinley as patriotic American, a
cautious but firm executive, concil-
iatory but self respecting politician in
his relations with congress, pro
nounced but unfactional republican
in his relations with his party, con-
sistent protectionist in his economic
convictions, courageous friend of
civil service reform and of currency
reform and an official who, knowing
war as a soldier and loving peace as
a citizen, cultivAtes the things which
make for peace in the spirit and atti-
tude of our government, while not
unmindful OF that duty of readiness
for war which emergencies, neither
OF our creation nor of our choosing,
have forced upon the national atsen-
ton. The president is quite as large
man as his eulogisns have main
tanned. He is far better man than
his opponents represent. He is a
much ADLER man than mugwump
criticism, with the intolerance OF
half estimate and the purblindness
of half lights, can conceive any one
to be but themselves. - Brooklyn

oREwsoME GOLDEN WEDDING
All the Male Guests Present Were Pub
lie ENecutloncrs.


From the report Of the celebration
Of the golden wedding of William
Reid and his wife at Magdeburg, Ger
many, and the silver wedding of his
son Frederick and his wife it is TO be
inferred that hangmen are not held in
such disfavor by the women of Ger
many as the fair sex OF other countries
evince toward men Of this profession.
At the celebration there were present
300 men, whose occupations were the
same-th2 execution of criminals-the
majority of them being accompanied
either by a wife, sister or sweetheart.
| The elder Reidl is chief executioner Of
the domains of Kaiser Wilhelm, while
! his son Frederick IS also a public exc
cutioner OF long service. The eldest son
OF the latter is a soldier in the German
army, but his father declares that as
soon as he is discharged he viii secure
him a place where his work viii be Of
exactly the same nature as his fathers.
The old gentlemen is only 7S years Of
age, but he boasts that he has only IL
more people to string up on the scat
fold IN order TO have made the record
OF sending 1000 persons into eternity
by his own hands. The son has a rec
ord OF little more than one-third OF
this number. Although brough. to-
gether for the purpose of doing honor
TO Germany's chief executioner and his
son, the assembly Of executioners ac-
tually turned itself into a convention
of hangmen. The various new meth
ods Of killing off murderers were unan-
imously condemned, and the old-fash-
ioned hanging method was pronounced
the one most satisfactory from every
standpoint The men came from every
part Of Wilhelm's empire and included
all the executioners Of note. The
wives and sweethearts intend to or
ganize a club for the purpose Of aiding
the widows and orphans Of the meh
their husbands hang.

PREHISTORIC DENTISTRY.
skeletons Unearthed In Whose Front
Teeth G. ems We're Set

Teeth Gems We're Set.
No regular burying place has yet
been found at Copan, but a number Of
isolated tombs have been explored, says
the Century. The location Of these
was very strange and unexpected-be-
meath the pavement of courtyards and
under the foundations Of houses.
They consist of small chambers of very
excellent masonry, rooted sometimes
by means of the horizontal arch, and
sometimes by means of slabs of stone
resting on the top Of the vertical walls.
In these tomhs one. sometimes two, in
terments had been made. The bodies
had been laid at full length upon the
aoor. The cerements had long since
nodded away, and the skeletons, them
selves, were in a crumbling condition,
and give little knowledge of the phys
zeal characteristics Of the people; but
one fact Of surprising interest came to
light concerning their private lives
namely, the custom of adorning the
front teeth with gems inlaid in the en-
amel, and by filling. Although not all
of the sets OF teeth found had been
treated in this way, there are enough
to show that the practice was general,
at least among the upper classes; for
all the tombs opened, from their asso-
Citations with prominent houses, seemed
TO have belonged to people Of rank and
! fortune. The stone used In the inlay
ing was a bright green jadite. A cir
cular cavity about one-sixteenth Of an
inch in diameter was drilled in the en-
amel of each of the two front teeth Of
the upper row and inlaid with a little
disk OF jadite, cut to perfect 1T, and
secured by means of a bright red ce-
ment.
