FINANCE AND TRADE.

The Commercial Agencies Send Out
Most Gratifying Reviews.
New York, July 15.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: Be-
cause every prospect pleases, it is the
right time to watch most closely for
signs of trouble. But it is not easy to
find them when the volume of business
is 63.7 per cent larger than last year
and 1855 larger than in 1892, the best
of all years except the last, or when
failures continue the smallest ever
known, or when the exports of staples
begin to improve materially, or when
railroad business is by far the best
ever known, or when New York bank
ers appear in International operations,
listening to Russian inquiry and I'M
dertaking Mexican loan. Even the
industrial disputes incident to the
season cause less trouble than usual,
the largest of them having been set
tied Thursday by the tin plate COM
pany. The Bank of England finds 1t
difficult to borrow more from this side,
and frankly raises it's rate, while this
country begins to ship fresh crops, for
which Europe will run into debt.
Bradstreets review says: New
features In the general trade situation
and week are of an almost uniformly
favorable character. So rare, indeed,
are the disturbing and unsettling
features as to necessitate considerable
search to locate them Additional
statistics of past trade movements re-
ceived are certainly of an encouraging
nature, foremost among these being
exceptionally good railroad earnings
returns for June and the first half of
the year and ascertsined totals Of an
enormous export trade, practically
equal to the phenomenal business of
the preceding fiscal year.

Boys Will He BOYS.

A man in nearby suburb who has
many splendid cherry trees made bar
gain with the boys of his neighborhood
that this year they should not as in for
mer seasons, make them the bane of his
existence, but should allow the fruit to
ripen OH them undisturbed. When ready
to pick, the boys should climb the trees
and take half the cherries, leaving the
other half for him. The boys agreed,
and, although many covetous glances
were cast at the reddening fruit, they
kept their word until the owner gave
permission to them to begin picking.
Then they focked into the trees like so
many hungry birds and ate their fill, be.
sides carrying away the capacity of hands
and pockets. Still there were enough
cherries left, the owner observed with
satisfaction; and he congratulated him
self upon his diplomacy.
The next day he intended to gather his
share, but when that day dawned not a
cherry was to be seen. The dishonest
parties of the second part to the contract
had come by night and finished up the
job. The owner has decided to destroy
the trees, root and branch. and his faith
in boys is dead.-New York Press.

A Washington Pie Sermon.

Jonn Hendrlck Bangs IN The woman
Home Companion tells this story:
my Uncle Jed was a preacher, and he
used to speak entirely from notes which
he would make out the night before and
place in the pocket Of his black coat
took the notes of his next days sermon
out of his pocket one Saturday evening
and put in their stead a-ah-a recipe
for what we called Washington pie-and
a very good pie it was. have never re-
GREETED that trick of my boyhood, al
though my particular uncle gave me
distressingly acrid and dreary lecture on
my certain future when he found out
what had happened. Yet what did hap
pen, though mischievously intended, re-
suited in great good, for when the dear
old gentleman stood up in the pulpit and
started to preach the next morning, with
the recipe for Washington pie as the
only available note at hand, he pulled
himself together and preached offhand
the finest sermon of his life, and he dis
covered then the secret of his after sue
cess. He became known ultimately as
one Of the most brilliant preachers of his
time and from that moment never went
into the pulpit with any Fictitious aids
to his memory"

For Husband Murder.
Washington. July 16.-Mrs. Rich II
to be surrendered to the Mexican au-
thorities to be tried for the murder Of
her husband. For days past kilograms
and letters have been coming to the
president and to Secretary Hay. some
almost hysterical in the strength of
their protests against the extradition
of the woman. 1t has been represented
that she is insane, that there are i'm
pending physical obstacles. that she is
innocent of the crime charged against
her, aV fitAlly that it would be an
act of 6arbarism to place an Ameri-
can woman at the mercy of Mexican
law and officiallsm.
All of these considerations have been
weighed, and 1t has been decided that
unless Mrs. Rich is surrendered there
can be no hope of securing the sur
render to our officers of the many
Mexican border thieves and criminals
who plumber on cur side of the line
asd retreat into Mexico, so the prece-
dent Will be established

Rats on Ice.

Rats on ice presented novel spec
tacle the other day to some of the resi-
dents on South Tenth street. One Of
these, while carrying in an extra supply
of ice to her refrigerator, was surprised
to see large gray rodent squatting on
all tours on top of block Of ice which
had been chopped in the yard receptacle,
nor would he move at the word OF COM
mand, simply winking at her until dis
lodged by means Of clothes prop Even
when chased out Of the back gate the
rat did not run away, but, with his gaze
on the iceman, followed him to the next
stopping place, where he again ensconc-
ed himself on top Of IN ice block. 1t is
supposed that the extreme heat drove
the rodents to seek this relief.-Philadel-

lice announce that they are satisfied
that the two negroes, Mickens and Lee,
who were arrested here Thursday night
on suspicion of being the murderers of
Rabbi Ginsberg, of Binghamton, N. Y,
are not guilty of that crime. They
find upon closer investigation that the
description of the murderers does not
fit the men under arrest. The arrested
men explain their resistance to the po-
lice by saying that they were greatly
frightened.

The lion, which is a splendid specimen,
refused to fight until the bull gored
him in several places. Then he sprang
fiercely upon his foe and tore off ono
of the bulls ears. For a few seconds
there was a terrific fight, and then the
lion retired to a corner, refusing to
carry the contest further. The audi
ence, furious at being baked, became

THREE GIRL BATHERS DROWNED.
Tried to Climb on a Raft, Which Sunk
Beneath Them.

Beneath Them.
Derby, Conn, July 15.-Annie and
Mary Kinney, sisters, aged II and IA
years, respectively, and their cousin,
Ella Kinney, aged 10, were drowned
last night while bathing in the Housa-
tonic river at Lower Derby. The first
two are daughters of Michael Kinney,
a railroad contractor of this place.
Their cousin was visiting them.
The Kinneys have fine residence,
with spacious grounds running down
to the shore Of the river. There was
small raft tied to the boat landing,
which they released and pushed ahead
of them into the stream when they
went in bathing. Before they realized
it they were beyond their depth, and
all three tried to climb upon the raft
simultaneously. 1t sank below the sur
face under their combined weight. In
their struggles it got away from them,
and they were drowned before help ar
rived.
The Misses Kinney on Thursday
night gave a lawn fete on the grounds
il honor of their cousin, which was the
leading social event of the season.

Mrs. Mary Johnson, who died on March

over $5.000,0O0, nearly all of which she

cided that the testatriX had full tesla
mentary capacity at the time that the
will was made, and that it was not
executed under any undue influence.
