Plant SYSTEMS morning train. These were
on their way to Beleair where they will
serve in Bellevue Hotel. A smaller party
was on the way to Winter Park, where
they will be at the Seminole. Just at this
season the roads always do very well in
hotel help movements. Stewards, walters,

they were employed as help for the sum

common stock. The manufacturers in
the combination are to be privileged to
subscribe for debenture bonds at 80 1-2
per cent.
Included in the new trust will be for
ty-five concerns, operating fifty-six
plants. The wheel-makers in the DIAL
are said to have a combined annual
output of more than 100000 machines.
1t is the intention of the trust, it is
said, to operate all the plants ac-
quired and to maintain the present
prices of wheels for the coming year.
The attempt to block the negotiations
by Mr. Flint is explained by his solicit
tude for the success of the tire trust,
Of which he is the promoter. In the BIZ
cycle combine the Hartford Rubber
Works and the Indianapolis Rubber
Company are two big tire concerns that
would be able to supply tires for all
the bicycles made by the trust. These
two concerns are not in Flints com
pany. With the two plants the trust
would be quite Independent of Flint's
rubber combine. These facts have led
TO their natural differences. The tIou-
BILE is that the leaving out of the Hart
ford Rubber Works would mean The
exclusion of the Pope Manufacturing
Company while the dropping of the
Indianapolis concern would be followed
by the withdrawal of the Western
Wheel Works, the Indiana Bicycle
Company and the Gormully & Jeffrey
Company. Without these firms, no sue
cessful trust could be formed. Men who
are not strictly on the inside, but who
have watched and listened, consider
these to be the two horns of the diem
ma presented to the trust promoters.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, July 19.-The intense dull

day, as for some time past. Not only
was it true Of the New York market
but of the continental and London mar
kets as well, and speculation at differ
ent exchanges in the United States was
reported in the same dull and neglected
condition. The whole speculative world
maintained its waiting attitude.
Many factors which have been adj
duced to account for the hesitation
have been successfully eliminated, and
the hesitation still persists. The bears
took some heart Of grace from this con
tinued Discrimination to advance and
made quite a vigorous attack on the
New York market late today. Earlier
gains in some of the specialties were
wiped out, notably in the Tobacco
stocks, in Sugar and Steel and Wire,
and the whole market dropped to the
low level of the day.

ferred led the decline, the latter with a
net loss Of III. The Changers all weak

unchanged.
Federal Steel common fell off heavily G

announcement that judicial injunction

MARKET NOTES.

From July to July Is is considered
the critical period in the agricultural
affairs of Nebraska This period has
been passed, and it is practically settled
as to what the cereal yield of the state
VIII be. Nebraska's wheat yield will
probably be 100000 bushels. Though
the state wheat crop Of last year was
but 35,O00,000 bushels with the winter
wheat, and this year there is but about
$4,000 acres Of winter wheat, average
yield per acre This year is more than a
third heavier than last year This ac-
counts for the increased yield

NEW LINES LAID OUT.
Bicycle Trust Capital Reduced to One
half Former Figures.

New York, July 19.-The bicycle trust
has been organized upon lines radically
different from those originally planned
and, 1t is said, without the interven .ior
Of Charles r. Flint, who engineered
the former deal. The capital now is to
be SAC, 100000 This is exactly half Of the
capitalization of the original comp nv
1t was decided to take into membership
the twenty-four bicycle manufacturing
concerns and the manufacture of bicy-
Gle parts included in the original com
pany.
The plants of these concerns are to
be acquired at the valuations I.iaced
upon them by the appraisers Of A. G
Spalding, and are to be paid for In the
following terms: Thirty per cent in
cash, thirty per cent in preferred stock
and fifty per cent in common, making
10 per cent in all for each plant.
Part Of the statement given out by
James A. Hart is to the effect that,
owing to the public feeling toward the
industrials, the scheme of capitallza-
ton Of the American Bicycle Company
was changed. The capital was cut down
to $40,000,O00, of which $10,00O,000 is in

Fearless Women of Arizona.

Arizona is full of progressive WON
en-. There are women ranch ers, va
queros, bank cashiers, stable keepers
and butchers. The latest acquisition
to the list is Miss Sarah M. Burks,
twenty five years old. She carries the
United States mail over the star route
from st. Johns to Jimtown, making
the trip twice a week. The distance
is fifty-two miles. The road is said
to be desolate. What streams there
are are poisoned with alkali, and the
dreariness of the country is shown b J
the fact that no vegetation can grow
there, and only the Indians are ever
seen along the trail. Miss Burks makes
her trips alone, rs a rule, and fears
not, for she is fatalist, and says that
death will not come until its appoint
ed hour. She is crack shot, and al
ways goes armed. She rode over the
perilous route first in 1898, when her
father, who was then mail carrier, was

The Newest Brooches.

Quite noteworthy increase in size
is manifest in some lines of handsome
brooches which are much larger than
the prevailing average round brooch.
These are in twists and coils of gold
or enamel with jewel in the center.
Other brooches are not only larger
but assume the oval shape of the old
fashioned brooch. Onyx matrix forms
the large central stone of these, and
is surrounded with brilliants. The
return to old, picturesque and dis
tinctively feminine styles in dress
makes itself felt not only in the
character of the iewelry now worn,
but also in the amount of it. The
sweeping skirts, ornate bodices and
throat garnitures call for correspond
ing elaboration in precious ornaments
and goodly show of gold and gems
has become not only permissible, but
a recognized and absolutely necessary
feature of fashionable toilette. The
cachet of correct style in dress is far
from the woman who lacks the taste
to employ in an appropriate and pleas
ing manner the many and beautiful
devices of the jewellers of to-day.

QUALITY AND NEWS.
Fame and Excellence Are Determining
Factors In Successful Development.
ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
OF HIGH-CLASS NEWSPAPERS.

In presenting interesting phases of scien-
tif1c and economic problems, high-class
newspapers frequently give information of
as great value in their advertising columns
as in those devoted to the publication of
the principal events OF the day, and when
the fame of a product is extended beyond
its natural limits into foreign lands, and u
large demand created throughout Great
Britain and her Colonies and the principal
sea-ports and cities of Europe, Asia and
Africa, 1t becomes a pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of excel
lence on which so great n asuccess Is based.
We refer to the now world famed laxative
remedy, Syrup of Figs, the product of the
California Fig Syrup Company. The merits
OF this well-known excellent laxative were
first made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers OF the
United States; and is one OF the distinct
achievements OF the press. 1t Is now well
known that Syrup OF Figs is an ethical
proprietary remedy, approved by the most
eminent physicians everywhere, because 1t
is simple and effective, yet pleasant to
the taste and acceptable to the system, and
not only prompt In its beneficial effects,
but also wholly free from any unpleasant
after-effects. 1t Is frequently referred to as
tho remedy of the healthy. because 1t Is
used by people who enjoy good health and
who live well and feel we'll and are we'll
Informed on all subjects generally, includ-
ing laxatives. In order to get its beneficial
effects, 1t is necessary to get the genuine
Syrup of Figs, which is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only.

Yokss of lace on which chenille in
colors is dotted in the shape OF flow
ers are pretty.
The desire to appear tall has revived
high heels, and they are now found
even on the walking boots.
Three-quarters OF yard is enough
for an ordinary stock. The ribbon
should be about three inches wide.
Taffeta bows, edged with narrow
bands of contrasting satin, make an
effective trimming for women's bon.
nets.
Stocks should be drawn tight about
the throat. The loose, untidy way in
which many women wear their ribbons
is anything but correct.
Rough Rider hats are pronounced
fashion. They are decorated with soft
folds of dull colored material. From
the knot at the left front quill OF ex-
traordinary length protrudes.
Oxford ties should be worn only by
women with pretty feet. Notwith-
standing the present age of broad
mindedness and common sense, high
heels are worn by the majority for
evening dress.
Gray in rique is attractive, and it
is trimmed very satisfactorily, as is
cream, with whi 3. Out work in cream
over white is effective, or cream lace

makes ladylike and stylish gown.
