NUTS AND DATES.
Where the Best Are GroWn-Arizona
 for Date Production.

The culture of the pistache nut is likely to prove of very considerable value in California. Arizona and New Mexico. With the exception of the home-consumed product of few iso- trees, the entire quantity how used in this country is imported and it's use is limited Ealmost exclusively to ice cream and confection ftavoring, says the Scientific American.
 Along the Mediterranean, where the choicest walnuts and almonds are raised, the pistache is considered the very best of all nuts for table use. It is very nutritious and fatten- ing and of 8 delicious flavor of it's own, and should soon come to be a leading article of its kind in our mar kets. Mir. Swingle, who has been in- vestigating foreign plants and fruits, perfected arrangements by which some choice gratis will reach this country next spring.
 While able to withstand consider able frost in winter. the date palm must have very dry and exceeding ly hot climate at the time of the rip- ening of the dates. The smallest, and generally speaking, the poorest soils produce the best dates; while it will yield in any soil. it takes most kindly 70 otherwise almost worth less land. even that which is white with alkaIi suiting it. Still. an abundance oi water is at certain pc riods of it's maturing quite necessary. Arizona is thought to ne good field for date-grow wing.

Wednesday night the hall of the Merrill Institute was packed to it's utmost capacity.
 The occasion was the appearance of the Chicago phony Club.
 It bears out the famous reputa- tion which it carries gracefully.
 Secretary Holm is indeed to be congratulated ID being so fortunate in securing such attractions as the Chicago Symphony Club.
 All present last night are unani. nous in thelr expressions regard ing the worth of the entertainment. The renditions of Nine. Lime and MT. Meyn were very classical. The sweetest, however, of their many well chosen selections was, "Oh Days of Youth.
 It is needless to say anything about Mr. Wm. H. Sherwood, whose name carries all the praise that could be bestowed in the musical lyric.

 ED A HEAVY LOSS. MANY HEAVY LOSERS.
]. B. Lippincott X Co, Book Publishers Lost Every
 thing.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-An electrle spark in the .basem ant of Partridge & Richardson big de. partment stare, number 15 to @ North Eight street, started a fire this morning that ia less than four hours laid in ashes nearly the ee- tire block of business houses and caused an estimated loss of over 8, 000, 600. The heaviest losers are J. B. Lippineott & Co, book pub fishers, at 716 to TO Filbert street, whose big six.story brick building, containing rare and valuable plates and machinery, was completely J gutted, involving q loss estimated by the members of the firm at s. 900, GOO. The next heaviest losers are Partridge t Richardson. Their loss on building and contents is es- timated at $500 900. Lit Brothers, department store, adioins the Lip pincott building. They estimate their loss at $400,000 In addition to the big houses men tioLed, nu- |merous smaller stores were either gutted or badly damaged. Chief among these were BaiIey's Five and Ten cent Store, loss S100, GOO; Ro- senbergas millinery establishment, loss $30, 900. Loss on these build. ipgs, $50, ,00o.

MONEY IN COTTON TIES.
The Price Has Greatly Advanced
 This Fall.

Cotton ties are very much higher than they were at the beginning of the season, and are at present show ing a tendency toward still higher prices. They are quotably , cents higher today than> they have been during the past few weeks.
 In the early summer, when the wholesale dealers here were laying in their stocks of ties, there was a strong fight made between the com panies who had hitherto supplied this market, says the Memphis Scimitar. The Illinois Steel Compa- ny quoted very low price on ties, and, even at these low figures, gave q guarantee against any lower fig ures on the part of competing con- panies. The result was that the competing companies went to work and cut the prices from 20 t. 9 per cent below those made by the Illi- nois Steel Company. In doing this, of course, they gave unusually low figures, because those given by the aforesaid company were very low.
 The Memphis dealers, seeing that they had an excellent opportunity for getting their supply very cheap, aud being somewhat inclined to make a spe .ulatiYe deal on them, bought twice as many as they would have bought at normal fig ures. WheS the season for ties opened this fail some of the dealers cut the price to $l, because they did not care to carry any of their stock over till next season. Under the steadily advancing price of steel, bo yeyer, the prlces of ties in the To- cal market went to $l.I5, where it remained until a few days ago, when the fire that destroyed the Planters W@rehous destroyed gsabout 9, ,000 bundles of ties. Since then the sentiment on the part of the dealers in ties has been toward higher prices, and today they are quotable st $120.
 There is rather limited demand for them at this price. of which fact the dealers are glad, because they cannot | Ny the ties at the prices at which rhey are selling them even now. There seems to be no prom ise of an end to the advance in the prices of steel, and the merchants prefer rather to carry their present stGek oyer for the next season and run the risk of getting higher prices than to dispose of their present stock and run the risk of replacing it next season at the same prices as they paid this year.

HE WEST KILLING
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the
 Wheatly, Ark Tragedy,

FOREST CITY, ARK, Nov. 29.-z The verdict of the coroner's jury ins the killing of Dr. West, at Wheat ley last evening, was that the de-. ceased J. R. West came to his death from a gunsbot wound ln the hands of j. W. Rebus. Ten of the jury were in favor of rendering yer dict of justiliable homicide, while two of the jurors thought the case should go before a magistrate for examination. Rebus returned to this city on the evening train and is still in the hands of the sheriff. He will probably be given a pre- liminary hearing before Squire German in this city tomorrow.
 The killing of Dr. West is deeply deplored by large number of friends in this county. He had many warm business and personal friends, who regarded him as one of our stanehest a4d honorable ci ti- zens.
 Rebus is steady farmer of some means, and bears an enyiable repu- tation among the people who know him in the community in which he lives.

The Chicago Times Herald speaks of Dewey as having destroyed him. self. This is unadulterated rot. Gen. Grant was presented with a house in Philadelphia which he sold. Now it strikes IS that the selling of a house which has been given a he TO by the people, in order to get money, is a thousand times more discreditable than turning house over to ones wife. Yet no one has ever criticised Grant for disposing of these houses, and DO one has eyer said that he destroyed him. self thereby.

RECEIVED THE PAPER
 AND HAD TO PAY.

A case of interest to newspaper publishers at Aestbrook, N, Y. wherein q firm of newspaper pub fishers brought suit, and obtained judgment for $9 and costs, on &C., count of subscription charges. The publisher admitted that the defend ant never ordered the paper. The fact was not disputed that when they bought in the list of another paper iii the town this mans name was on that list, but without Lis orders. The management wrote to al whose names were on the list they had bought offering to stop the papers of all who did not expect to pay. The defendant did not answer this notice, but kept on taking the paper, and then refused to pay on the ground that he never subscribed. The plaintiff argued that the general rule of law. that man must pay for what he receives and uses, ap- plies to newspapers as well as other things, and the court sustained that view.

It Ii ven to consider that ! rick Il :
trick and one might as wen take It at
once, even If an honor Is thereby UNI
guarded and lost afterwards
In dlscarding great care should be exsr-
cised to get rid Of any card al the first OPP
portlinity, which blocks the partners suit:
that is, provided you are reasonably GER
tain that he viii be left with the winner
A chief objection to f1nessing in ones part
ner's suit IS that you are very likely to
block him later. In recent match the
following situation occurred. illustrative Of
this point North opened with the ace Of
clubs and followed with a small club. On
the second round, the king not falling
south finessed the ten from queen. ten
AS north remained with jack and Others
south blocked him with the queen after
trumps were exhausted. If south had had
small club with the queen, ten, the
finesse would have been justihable. II is
important to be on the lookout for a hold
up Of the winner in the second round in a
case Ike this, although this play is more
often used to tempt a hnesse by the leader
of the suit than to induce one by his part
ner.
One of the most trying situations is when
the enemy forces one discard after am
other 1t is in many cases useless to try
to protect two suits. and you ought TO be
able TO depend upon your partner to aid
you in the suit from which you are dis
carding. and. this being the case, you are
enabled to stick to one suit.
The proper discard is the chief difficulty
encountered by the bold trump leader,
more particularly if after starting short
trumps he finds his partner with a strong
trump hand. In case of this kind, If the
strong suit is not too long it is best to
play one round of 1t before starting
trumps. You then place yourself in posi-
ton of being able to discard from other
trumps, according to the location of the
next lead 1t sometimes happens that one
is obliged to play a worthless trump.
either by undertrumping an opponent or
practically as discard TO protect honors
in a plain suit. If you are obliged to dis
card, never say hastily, This card is val
ueless to me- First consider what such
discard will say 10 your partner, and
second consideration should be whether it
would give important information to the
enemy.
If you are certain that the opponents
suit is established. and you happen to hold
a card which prevents his partner from
reading the situation. you should in most
cases retain that card. If, however, it Is
important for your partner TO know that
you have not the winner of the suit, or
that it is completely established against
you, it is your manifest duty to get rid of
that card. This is particularly the case if
you are fourth hand. and wish him TO
trump second hand the next round Of the
suit. Perhaps, for example north leads
the seven of clubs, south plays the ten and
west wins with the jack. Later north
leads the trey of clubs. east plays the ace.
south the four and west the five. West.

be governed by the situation in making his
discard, knowing his opponents suit TO be
