1t is said that the good people of Niles,
Mich, have great passion for sliding
down hill. That young and old, rich and
poor, engage in it, to the detriment of bus
mess, social demands or spiritual welfare.
Especially is this true Sundays, as the fol-
lowing will prove:
Vending bis way to his church few
Sundays ago Rev. Mr.. Blank noticed that
nearly the whole village was coasting. He
entered his pulpit and was pleased to see
thaehis pews were full, and he congratu-
lated all upon their piety and ability to re-
sist the temptation to Glide down hill, es-
pecially as the ice was just right.
No sooner had he mentioned the fact
that the hills were in good condition than
those nearest the door quickly slipped out,
TO be followed by the rest at short interval,
until within ten minutes not a soul re-
NAMED. Later the good pastor could
have been seen sitting on nearby fence,

while they pursued their favorite amuse-
ment.-Dowagiac Republican.

Means Committee and the floor leader Of
the majority. The Mckinley bill was I'M
der discussion and there was an under
standing between Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Nc

the Whole on the State of the Union to
rise.
The hour of 8 o'clock came and Mr..
Mckinley was nowhere in sight, having
gone to the committee room for a brief
time to attend to some other business.
"Tbe gentleman from Ohio" said Mr.
Reed, interrupting the proceedings, "moves

with another hasty glance about the House,
he added, forcibly, in an undertone:

TO SWEAR AGAINST PA.
Because His Ma Didn't Dare to Leave
Her Living Seat.

He was mere STRIPPING of a lad. He
might have been 7 years Of age or he
might have been 8. Nobody could tell
by looking at his face. The only mark
of certainly about the youthful counte-
nance was the sure sign that some of his
ancestors had come from old Ireland.
The little fellow walked hastily into the
office of the warrant clerk Of Recorder
Finnegans court. He did not notice the
four persons standing in line waiting to
get affidavits made out against some both
ersome relatives, but the youth pushed
through the crowd and disengaged the
attention of the clerk with this odd
demand -
81 want to make an affidavit against
my pa" said he, and pushed his little red
head around the side of the desk.
"You want WHAT" queried the clerk.
81 want to swear against pa, said the
boy again.
"What has your pa done?'
''He has just been in prize fight with
ma"
"Well why don't your ma swear out
the warrant against pa? My boy, you
are too young you won't fill the bill"
"My ma can't come, and she wanted
me to fix it up for her."
"Why could she not come ?" asked the
clerk, getting interested in the Youngsters
story. He could not imagine why the
wife would not be only too willing to
swear out the warrant.
"My pa and ma they got in the fight in
the kitchen. That is how it happened.
My pa made drive for her, but didn't
land, and then my ma she grabbed up the
rolling pin and floored the old man. She
is now sitting on him, holding him down,
and that is why she couldn't come to
swear against him. She sent me. New

BISMARCK is AGAINST SPAIN.
He Prophesies That Cuba Will Soon Be
Free From the Calling Yoke-Ap-
pIauds McKinley's States
manIike Course in
the Crisis.

Friedichsruhe, March 1S.-Prince Bis
marck to-day gave an audience to Editor
Bockel, of Chicago.
The Princes utterance on the Cuban
question is without doubt the most i'm
portant one that has been made in Europe
since the war for the independence of
Cuba began. Bismarck is the very citadel
of conservatism in Europe. His voice is
the voice of sober second thought of the
Old World.
Although the weather was inclement the
venerable Prince walked erect without
difficulty.
He began the conversation by eulogizing
his old American friends, Bancroft, Motley
and Schurz, and then went straight to the
heart of the issues between Spain and the
United States.
president Mckinley has shown super
ior craftsmanship by calming public excite
ment, he said. "rhe exaltation of the
American mind concerning Cuba is not
quite understood in Europe yet. It's true
that there are Spanish jingoes, as well as
Yankee jlngoes.
"The Spanish standpoint is medieval.

AMERICAN GOODS INITIATED.
And then Sent Here Marked "Made in
Germany"

Some of the Continental! firms who deal
in hardware have been making q practice
of initiating well-known brands of Ameri-
can goods and similating the name of the
maker, style and trademark and exporting
the article to this country and inducing
people to believe that it was an article Of
home manufacture. There is customs
law prohibiting the importation of such
articles, but the practice has been to SINH
late the article in all respects, and then in
light, obscure letters brand the article
with the words made Sin Germany" or
other countries. Recently the customs
officials have issued orders that no such
articles be imported unless the name of
the country of origin is plainly stamped on
the article and So deeply that it cannot
be buffed out. An English trade journal
in commenting on the new ruling remarks

tinental firms pretty hard"

LONDON MARKET.

The London market is rather higher and
holders in the interior are expecting a ma
terial advance in prices.
Little encouragement appears In the
market for cotton goods, with print cloths
a sixteenth lower than a week ago, and
standard grades unders0ld by many Of less
note. The demand is large but not large
enough. In woolen goods, on the con-
trary, the material advance in prices has
raised the only obstacle to increased trans
actions and somewhat frequent cancella-
tions indicate that dealers have been dis
appointed in their distribution. The small
yielding in wool may result in greater
decline if this tendency in the manufac-
ture continues.
Bessemer pig and Grey forge are both
slightly stronger at Pittsburg, the proposed
combination of valley furnace helping, but
pig is not changed in price elsewhere, nor
are finished products at any point, ex-
cepting wire nails which are FIVE cents per
key weaker, and steel calls which are said
to be sold at $3.50 at the East by some
establishments.
Contracts have been made for 10000
tons with Eastern works for domestic de-
livery, 10000 tons for Australia, 5000
tons with 1000 bridge work for South AZ
RIGA and the Illinois Steel Company, is
filled with orders for the year. The Car
negie Company has sold 5000 tons deck
plates to ship builders of England, and
several Chicago orders for plates exceeding
l 900 tons each are for railroads, car and
agricultural implement manufacturers and
proiectile works. The wire combination
having failed to effect the broader ar
rangement contemplated, is seeking to
complete control of about so per cent. OF
the wire output Of the country. While
activity is great in the central and western
region, there is less demand at the East.
