pictures of spread eagle birds, roaring
lions and prancng horses To the credit

OF advertising.
The decoration is simple but neat. the
furniture is such as is used in the school
room, students are at work. representing
all departments of the school. Messrs
Borgstrom and Boiling were chosen from
the commercial department and Messrs.
Edel and Cockrell from the shorthand de-
partment and Mr. b. E: Williams from
the English department
The books and papers used In the school
room are displayed. There may be seen
drafts, checks, notes receipts statements,
olls anu other business matter such as
deeds, mortgages. bonds, etc.. showing the
actual business features OF the school and
proving beyond doubt that the Massey
business college teaches business as it is
aone in the business world.

VIII Prices Go Higher.

"There has been great deal of spec
ulation among business men," says the
Saginaw Storekeeper, "as to whether
the roof has been reached In iron,
lumber, ETC., where such unprecedent-
ed advances have occurred.
Iron certainly show signs of strength
and many bulls think that food pro-
ducts will join in the procession event
ually. On the other hand there is much
reason for believing that the prices on
iron, lumber, ETC., have reached the
prohibitive point and that consumption
will be decreased to point where a
reaction will occur. Prices are sure to
reach that point some time but wheth-
er it has been reached yet or not is still
an open question. Increased consump-
tion of food products as well as wear
ing apparel and dry goods is sure to
follow better wages and steadier en-
ployment, so that prices in the lines
indicated may naturally be expected to
rise y

Weighing The Mails.

The weighing of mails in all post
offices of the country which began Oct.
3, involves an immense amount of
labor. All mail has to be classified and
weighed, and an accurate account kept,
not only of the mail itself, but of the
weight of sacks in which it is sent out.
Separations must also be made of mali
passing through postofflces for local
delivery and sent out by railroad and
star routes.
The work is now in progress in the
Office and entails upon the postmaster
and clerks a great amount of extra
labor. 1t is to be continued 35 days,
ending November 9Th.
1t is twenty years since a similar
work was undertaken. 1t will be some
months before all the figures sent in by
the poStmaSters can be compared at
Washington and the result tabulated.
But when this is done it will be of
great advantage to the postoflice de.
partment in decisions regarding changes
and improvements in the service, pay
ment for railway service, etc.

Sorrows of Matrimony.

On Monday of last week Mrs. Minnie
Martin, of Old Brockway, began pro-
ceedings to obtain divorce from her
husband George Martin, son of Thos,
Martin deceased, former owner of the
Hotel de Martin in this place. Mrs.
Martin alleges extreme and repeated
cruelty and charges George with
knocking her down and kicking her
for falling" with frequent and painful
regularity almost from the time of their
marriage some three years ago.
AS counter move on Monday last,
George caused the arrest of one George
Goldberg, a Jew peddler, by capias,
charging him with alternating his wife's
affections. Friends of Mrs. Martin de-
clare that she has known Goldberg
only four months and Martins illtreat-
ment has continued over two and one
half years.
The cases promise to be hotly con-
tested and spicy all around. Drake Il

SHE REACHED THE CITY FROM Md
son, N. u, AND VANISHED.

Got on the Train Mt 12bth Street by Mistake,
Apparently, and No Ono Has Seen Her
Since-wns Coming to Visit Relatives,
and They and Her Parents Are Frantic.
Mabel Conner. 10 yenrs old, started yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock from her home. 231
Union street. in Hudson, n. Y. to come to this
city to visit her sister Jennie. who lives with
her aunt. Mrs. Jane Jordan. in the Mar
shall fats at III West Fifteenth street.
Mabel is q student in the Hudson High School
and recently had been in poor health on ac-
count OF overstudy. On the advice OF a ply
stefan her parents decided to send her to this
city for n weeks vacation.
Mabel should have arrived at the Grand Cen
tral Station at 1:15 o'clock and Jennie waited
for her there. She was not among the pas
sengers who got of the train. and In great
perturbation Miss Conner reported her disap-
p~earance to the railroad officials. They told
her that her sister might have got off the train
there.
At the, 125th street station she finally found
train that brought Mabel to this city. The con.
duetor gave her a good description Of her sis,
from the train at 125th street. He added that
she seemed 70 be undecided which way to go.
Miss Conner then went to the East 128th street
police station. and the following alarm was
sent out from there:
Look out for Mabel Connor; 10 years old. short
and stout, dark complexion, red checks, short
dress, light. brown hair hanging down her back.
Missing from 1T West Fifteenth street.
The, police. however. had heard nothing OF
Mabel. A number of hotels and boarding
houses were visited. but no trace. could be
found of her. The news Of the girls disappear
ance was tele9raphed to her parents in Hud-
son, and the reply was sent that she had left
Hudson as. expected. The father and mother
were frantic, and sent many kilograms during
the day to Mrs. Jordan. who became historical
hersslf, and sent back as many answers
Another sister lives at Bedford Park and
kilograms were sent there in the hope that the
missing girl had. gone to that house, but up to
a late hour last night nothing had been seen Of
her there.

pened." said Miss Jennie last night. Ma;

Gen. Weyler. and even the Republicans.
This evening the situation remained un-
changed. After a conference with the Queen
Regent, Senior Romero Robledo declared that
only a Sagasta Ministry is possible because 1t
carries the sympathies OF the elements led by
Gen. Weyler and Seniors Canalejas and Robledo
and also Of the Republicans. while Senior Silvela
is supported, outside OF his own followers. only
by the partisans Of Gen. Polavieja.
Should Senior Silvela succeed Senior Sagasta
1t Is probable that there would be Republican
agitation because OF Silvela's ultramontanism.

EULoGIEs OF LORD HERsCHELL.
Action in tho House of Lords-Lord Bramp-
ton Spoxen OF ms His Successor.


Special caoie D,spdteh to THE Bun.
LONDON. March 2.-In the House OF Lords
to-day Lord Salisbury expressed his sense Of
the great loss which the House and the coun-
try had suffered through the death OF Lord
Herschell. His death. the Premier said. was
very pathetic from any point of view. but 1t was
the more so when 1t was considered that he
died. apart from all those he loved and by
whom he was beloved. in a foreign capital.
with the work In which he was deeply inter-
ested, and which he was carrying to a success
full conclusion. only half complete. His death
meant the loss OF a very grand public servant.
whose peculiar abilities made his place hard
to fll. Lord Salisbury also spoke OF Lord
Herschell's great popularity. especially with
our kindred race on the other side OF the At
lantic. which pointed him out for the duties he
was so willing at great sacrifice to undertake"
Tho Earl OF kimberley followed Lord Sails
bury and showed great emotion as he spoke.
After mentioning the personal friendship
which existed between himself and Lord
Herschell. he paid a high tribute to his great
abilities. Lord Herschell was one. he said,
who commanded the respect alike of friends
and foes and his loss is almost irreparable.
Lord James. Chancellor OF the Duchy OF Lam
caster. who was one OF Lord Herschell's Oldest
personal friends. said that in one Of the last
conversations he had with Lord Herschell the
latter told him that he was wearied and worn
out. His whole system was overworked. and
he had been looking forward to a long rest with
his family In the hope that his health would be
restored. The Prime Minister had. however.
asked him to represent Great Britain In tho
Canadian negotiations with the United States
and he had abandoned his intended repose.
The House. after listening to the eulogies.
adjourned without transacting any further
business.
Justice Ridley in opening the Durham as
sizes this morning spoke OF the death Of Lord
Herschell. who. he said. was a Jealous advo-
cate. an accurate awyer and a generous COM
rade. Durham was the only city he had rep
resented in Parliament. Though his rise was
rapid. he did not leave his friendships behind
him..
A stream Of callers. including the Marquis
and Marchioness Of Salisbury. left cards at the
house Of the late Lord Herschell in Grosvenor
Gardens to-day. The blinds are drawn. and
the house is practically closed. Lady Herschell
is almost Frustrated by the shock. and has not
yet left Pau. Her son arrived in London from
Oxford this morning. and proceeded to Pau.
Ex-Justice Hawkins. now Lord Brampton. Is
spoken OF as Lord Herschell's successor on the
