TO SAVE PALISADES.
A Plan Has Been Hit Upon to Pre-
vent Furthur Destruction.

New York, Dec. 9.-From statements
made by individual members of the
JOINT Pahsades commission 1t seems a
plan has been evolved for preventing
further destruction of that picturesque
and historic feature of America.
THE fact that the commission prac-
tically has solved the question of pre-
serving the palisades viii not be given
out officially until after the report has
been submitted to and approved by the
governor of each state,' said one of the
members last night. The plan of
commissioners is not 20 endeavOr to
stop the work of the destroyers of the
palisades by seeking to resurrect an
old English law intended for the pro-
lection of such places, as was enron
eOusly announced after the last meet
ing of the joint commission in New
York city but the idea is first to have
a permanent commission appointed,
empowered to act in all matters per-
tanning to the preservation of the pals
AIDES, and in the next place to have
appropriations made by congress and
the legislatures of the two states on be-
half of the society for the preservation
of scenic and historic places and objects
after the manner of certain well known
precedents. Upon this fund the COM
mission can draw when necessary for
the purpose of buying out whatever
frontage it may become necessary to
obtain as necessity arises, to prevent
vandalism by greedy creditors or own
ers.''
That this can be accomplished the
commission IeelS almost no DOUBT, as
powerful influences will be brought to
bear upon congress and the state Iegis-
latures to obtain appropriations, and
above all, the strongest card which the
commission will play is the support of
the New Jersey federation of wOmen's
clubs.
The members, of whom there are sew
eral hundred women of influential fam
lies, have pledged their support and
the state body is in correspondence
with the National Federation of Clubs,
which has an enrolment of more than
half a million women.

NATURAL FOOD.
For Highly Organized People.

How to select food that will make
sick body well. is a problem. There are
food experts that make that question
the study of their lives to know what
the human body is built of, and just
where to look for the nerve elements
in the grains, fruits and other forms of
food furnished by Mother Nature.
The food Grape-Nuts was originated
for reason. and with the above facts
in view. This perhaps the most pop
ular food on the American table today.
for while it has been in use but little
over a year many of the best people
have discovered its unquestiOned value.
It is pre-digested and ready for i'm
mediate assimilation. 1t is also thor
oughly cooked at the factory, and
therefore ready for instant service.
Grape-Nuts can be digested by a child

lete because of its flavor and strength.

AN UNPOPULAR DECISION.
Jack Bennett Given the Decision Over
Owen ZsigIer.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Jaclz Bennett, of
NICK eesport, Pa, was given the decls-
ion over Owen Zeig1er, of Philadelphia,
here last night after six rounds of the
fastest kind of work. The decision was
very unpopular, as the majority OF the
spectators appeared to be of the opinion
that the Philadelphia who had forced
the fighting all the way, should have
the big end Of the purse. Bennett DIS
played some clever foot work and dur
ing the first two rounds had shade
the best of it, as Zeigler was unable to
land with any effect. In the third
round, however, one of Zeigler,s
straight body punches connected with
Benefits stomach and Bennett went
down for a count of six. When he got
up he was too weak to resort to his
elusive tactics again and Zeigler smash
ed him when and where he pleased.
Bennett kept away in the fourth, but
in the last two rounds he decided to
make a stand. Zeigler met him punch
for punch and Bennett appeared to be
in distress when the referee declared
him the winner. Zeigler left the ring
without mark.

NO DULL SEASON.
Holiday Period Has Little Effect on
the Business Boom


New York, Dec. 9.-R- G.. Dun & Co,
Weekly Review of Trade which issues
today, says:
The approach of a new year usually
brings so much of hesitation in bust
ness that the small Shrinkage this year
is surprising. Probably never before
have the productive forces of the cOun-
try been so largely covered by con-
tracts at this date. inSuring employ
ment and profit far into the coming
year. This results not from any mere
speculative excitement, but from act
ual demands for consumption running
far beyond the producing capacity
heretofore and pushing it to remarlIa-
BILE expansion The increase in foreign
trade has been insignificant compared
with the increase of S24, 0OO,O 600 in
payments through clearing houses. For
the week the payments have been 2O-3
per cent larger than last year and Sol
per cent larger than in 1892
Prices of pig iron are strongly main
tanned. Sheet bars are a shade lower
owing to the closing of many tin plate
works Demand for cars and other rail
way equipment is enormous and also
for shipping both lake and ocean. Tin
is weak at 2715 cents and copper de
clined to 1874 cents but lead and spelter
are stronger
Hides are again stronger at Chicago,
although receipts of cattle at the four
chief western markets in eleven months
have been 3 per cent larger than IN the
previous year, as the demand for con-
sumption IN manufacture mas eN10enlly
increased much more Thus western
production of boots and shoes has gain
ed more than eastern. yet shipments
from Boston for the year have been
372 600 cases. or 9.36 cents more than last
year, and 937, coo cases or 27.S per cent
more than in 1892 when cattle receipts
were rs per cent larger than this year
Wool has advanced further with
much speculative buying. though most
manufacturers have supplied wants
for the present and are less disposed to
purchase at prices now averaging high
er than at any time since June Is, 1891
Higher prices demanded in the inter-
Tor. and rising prices abroad, give con-
ddence in spite of the fact that goods
advanced from the lowest point this
year only 1872 per cent.
Cotton is weakened by accounts of
large quantities held back and declin-
ed an eighth. but reports are sufficient
ly conflicting to make speculation &C
tive Notwithstanding the decrease of
$50. 900 bales or 29.4 per cent, in exports
for three months of the corresponding
year Ta1ings of spinners have been
large The demand for cotton goods is
heavy and covers production far ahead
in many lines. while fears of important
strikes have been dispeued by a gen
eTal advance in wages.
Wheat has risen three cents and corn
a fraction. with a decline in western
receipts OF both. Atlantic exports of
