LaDOrte Mad at Its Own Picture

The people of Laporte are so jealous
of Michigan City that they squirm when
confronted b. the truth. They are now
mad because EVerely Il Cressner, who
compiled map of that county, did not
misrepresent the actual topography of
the county In order to give Lsporte a
boost. The Herald of that place con-
tains the following:
''Laporteans who ordered the new
county map made by EVERY 81 Cress-
ner, Of Plymouth, are indignant at the
way in which Michigan City is made to
appear as the county seat, in fact that
seems to have been the underlying
principal of the compilers. Michigan
City and all the towns tributary to it
are made large and prominent in every
way while Laporte is made insignificant.
Every swamp that ever existed in this
vicinity, even though now dry and be
ing cultivated, is shown, while the
swamps and marsh lands about Mich1-
gan Ciy are given as fertile farming
lands. Other Inaccuracies appear. Places
like Waterford, Otis, Byron, Sprinfeld
and Hudson, neither of which has more
than couple of houses, are made more
prominent IN some particulars than the
city of Laporte. Though the map con
tains much information relative to the
county there ls absolutely nothing to
show that Laporte is the county seat
1t is understood that several Laport-
cans who ordered maps will refuse to
acce t them.

The Childreus, Home.

About a score of the Ladies Parish
Guild in various vehicles hobbling over
hubs or splashiDg through the pools,
went up to the Julia f. Work children's
home, Thursday, Feb. %, 1899, to assist
in making garments for the multitude
of children. Baskets of provisions
were carried specially for themselves
and generally for others. The rector
went up abou noon and made an OBJ

smaller dining room, and of the seventy

Runaway BoY Captured.

James Peterson, who several times
escaped from the orphans home while
it was located in LapOrte, ran away
from the institution at Plymouth last
week. AS he had been sent to the home
from Michigan City, Mrs Work wrote
to the officials there to watch for him
and arrest him should he show up. Y es
terday he was captured at the home of
his grandfather, Peleg Swan, near Mich
igan City. The boy will be brought to
Plymouth.

customers measure, address and money,
promises the goods to be delivered with
in certain date, but as yet none of the
ladies have received their goods.

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, December 23.-But for
shipping operations, which have been
on an unusually large scale, sellers
would have had a very quiet week in
the dry goods market. To-day the
market has been dull throughout SO
Jar as it was dependent upon new bus
mess, and absolutely without new
feature. The tone has not undergone
any material change, and for all prac-
tical purposes prices have been main
tanned. Print cloths have sold in odd
goods only this week, and are I'M
changed in price. The demand for cot
ton yarns was quieter but prices were
firmly maintained. Worsted yarns
were in good request and strong.
Wooden yarns were in smaller demand,
with slight Irregularities in some quar-
tiers.

tirely suspended this year, owing to-
the business activity al over the
country.
Still another adverse factor was the
continued absorption Of funds by the
United States treasury, owing to the
Unexpectedly large revenues, which
have established a running surplus.
The drain has been particularly oppTes-
sive on New York owing to the large
proportion both of the customs and in
ternal revenue taxes which are paid
through New York clearing house
banks. The large capitalization and
fotation of hopes and prospects which
capital was carrying was thus made
more burdensome. OF the elements Of
distrusr OF such hopes and prospects
which multiply at periods OF difficulty
and grow apace with what they feed
on, the public is by this time informed
by reason of the weeks events. The
difficulty last week in Boston in suS-
tanning the market for copper mining
stocks was the initiatory step. Very
large sums of money had to be taken
out of New York to that center and
the whispers thus caused begot spirit
of distrust. The suspension Of one of
the numerous new trust companies
which have been organized in New
York in the past year loosed another
mass of fears and possibilities of harm
which spread in a. true panic manner.
The weeks events have suffic-
iently proved the reality OF
some of the difficulties which
were apprehendea. But it is not
to be disguised that bitter animosities
and competitions Of powerful money
forces and even social enmitles have
played large pare in the innumerable
currents coursing beneath the surface.
Thus some Of the most powerful money
interests in the country are in conflict
over the control Of the public utilities
in the greater New York, the gas war
being incident. Their maneuvres and
counter moves have stirred up the
market like the grapple Of leviathians
in a pool of water. Again the en-
croachments Of the trust companies on
the banking field in the last few months
have aroused criticism and repTobation
from conflicting interests. There is
reason to believe that there was will
ingness to utilize the weeks events to
exercise some suasion upon the trust
companies to keep more strictly within
their own field 1t is recognized that
the liquidation, which has been largely
effected during the week had become
essential and that the financial fabric
is on a much more substantial basis
by reason of it. The conviction is
practically universal that the compile
ton of preparations for the annual set
Elements will mark the passing of the
crisis. Sentiment is not so unanimous
as to whether such preparation is yet
completed.
