ANALYSIS OF FAILURES
Shows That Commercial Business Has
Suffered More Than Manufacturing
More Activity Expected.

New York, June S--Duns review to-
morrow will say
Failures in May prove little larger than
was expected a week ago. The CONNER
cial list embraces 49, with liabilities of
S23 Isl and in only six months of the
past eighty have been dcfaultcd liabilities
as large. Nevertheless the analysis by
branches of business is highly suggestive,
since it shows surprising steadiness with
out any increase in the average per fail
ure of the small trading concerns, but in
the manufacturing failures for less than
100000 it shows a considerable expansion
OF indebtedness.
The adjournment of Congress after "A
useful session. the progress toward peace
IN South Africa, and the rapid adjustment
OF prices here to d more natural level, all
tend to bring nearer the day Of greater
activity. The unsettled condition OF labor
controversies. moreover, operates strong
ly for the time to limit expansion Of do
nestle business. Yet the volume of bust
ness is so large that a few months of
waiting need not excite any apprehension.
1t Is but few days since an eminent
iron master overwhelmed doubts and
questions by the positive declaration that
any decline whatever in the price of iron

A Story of Rhodes.

A resident OF Kimberley vouches for
the following story of Cecil Rhodes. Dur
ing the siege he strolled into the club aud
sat down at one of the tables, when the
waiter brought him a plate of ham and
eggs
Hello; what's this?" asked Mr..
Rhodes.
"Your luncheon, sir"
Eyes, sir"
Mr. Rhodes then carefully tied up the
toothsome food in the napkin, and, turn
the usual daily ration" A few minutes
later Mr.. Rhodes was seen carrying the
rejected food to the hospital, where he
delighted the heart Of one Of the con-
valescent patients.

Athletic Mt Sixty-seyen,

Following the example of ex-President
Cleveland, ex-President Harrison has
taken up golf He is a man of e. but
there is no reason why he should not find
a profitable exercise in the sport. Unlike
some other outdoor pastimes, among them
tennis, 1t does not require fatiguing exer-
ton, though at the same time it permits
the fullest play Of great variety Of mus
Giles and gives the player all the exercise
he needs. Many of the older men of the
country would find in golf an ideal sport.
We are learning nowadays that athletic
exercise is for persons of all ages and
that as long as man or a woman is Wig
orous outdoor pastimes are appropriate.
The old notion was that anything of the
sort was undignifed; that only boys
ought to wear an athletic costume or in
dulge in the healthy exercise of the body.
Happily the last few years have wrought
a change in this respect. - Providence
