Mrs. Ollie Northlane. the "cattIe
queen Is a handsome young woman VIII,

make her a formidable foe for the men.
| and II Is frankly said that she more than
holds her own. Mrs Northlane is a won-
an OF fine attainments and It Is said
that she receives large cOnsignments Of
live stock to the Sioux CITY market whore
men have failed signaHy.
When little girl Mrs NorthIane show
ed fondness for stock She never tired
or looking at the lazy swine or s,eepv-
eyed calves on her fathers farm They
always were creatures Of admiration IN
her. Her husband was a stoczman. and
MRS. Northlane had an opportunity to
learn much of the cattle business. The
stockmen at the Sioux CITY wards c,ain,
she IS the only woman in the stock bust
ness in the United States who IS q ca
pabie judge Of cattle or hogs.
In her business as a solicitor Mrs
Northlane does not have to go into .yarIs
with cattle or wade around through
muddy hog pens She simply calls on
shippers in small towns and bids for their
business. In this she has been no un-
certain success.
Mrs. Northlane is fearless woman, so
unlike the traditional woman who climbs
on the dining room table at the sight OF
mouse, that 1t is a regulation to meet
her Without hesitation she will walk
into a pen of cattle and can sort them
as well as any stockman. She also can
grade hogs. In the stock business Mrs.
Northane is akin to Miss Kitty Wilkins
in the horse business. This well known
horsewoman has many friends at the
yards who have often seen her rope q
willy brOnchO i'm the yards and lead him
out for inspection. Mrs. NOrthane is not
an adept with the rope, but she is not
afraid to walk into a yard with a dozen
big Western steers. In the cattle BUSH
ness she always IS abreast of the times,
and is always posted on the condition OF
the market to the minutest detail She
has the quotations at her tongues end.
By glancing at a consignment Of cattle
she can tell very closely what they
should bring when shipped 70 market
A stoCkman said recently that Mrs.
Northlane was as good at her business as
any man he ever saw, and that her opin-
ion of cattle or hogs always carried deep
consideration with him. He said this
stOckwoman could pick out a good steer
as quickly and accurately as the average
woman can select a new spring dress.

THE BENTON ESTATE.

The first hearing of the creditors of Frederick H. Benton, the box manufac- turer, was held yesterday afternoon be- fore Referee Newton. There are only a small number of creditors, although the amount of claims is large. Although the amount involved in this petition in bankruptcy is large it is believed the estate can easily be settled, as the cred itors will probably be able to agree up- on the method of settlement.
 There was a hearing yesterday morn- ing on the petition of Treat L. Sanford. grocer, of Waterbury. John Edmund son of that place was appointed trus- tee and the bond was fixed at S1, 900. The trustee was given power to sell the property at auction. It consists of tho stock and fixtures in the store and two and one-half acres of orange-bear- ing land in Florida.

CLAIM NOM SUPPORT.

Before Judge Dow in the city court yesterday morning three men were charged with non-support of their wives. There seems to be quite a gen. eral breaking out of this complaint of late and many unfortunate wives and husbands are made to appear in court to tell the reason why. In most cases each blames the other for the trouble, and the general impression is that the divorce court is the best place to settle the difficulties.
 Harold V. Shailor was given costs of $S.S1 and sixty days in jail or else furnish a bond of $75 to pay his wife $2 a week for twenty-siX weeks.
 Howard Moore, charged with non- support, had his case nolled, as did William T. Quigley, held on the same charge.

SHOE DEPARTMENT ADDED
By the GambleD Desmond Company
 Particulars Regarding it.

| By the Gamble-Desmond Company Particulars Regarding it. It will be interesting to the many pa- irons of the Gamble-Desmond company to know that this popular firm has add ed a shoe department to it's large, at- tractive establishment. Their shoe sell ing will be limited to women's shoes, the firm having been fortunate enough to secure the exclusive selling right in New Haven for the celebrated Rumsey shoe.
 George A. Crowell of Boston, for many years associated in business with the great Boston shoe house, Thayer, McNeil & Hodgl5ins, has been engaged to take charge of their new depart ment.
 MT Crowell is one of the most eXpe- rienced and expert of shoe men III NeW England. In speaking Of the Rumsey shoe he says that it has been sold from coast to coast throughout the country and is the best of all $950 shoes in the market. It has been on sale longer perhaps than any of the other shoes at $950 and has therefore stood the test better.
 There is no shoe sold to-day for $3.50 on which the manufacturer gives so broad a guarantee, which is in itself the highest recommendation and which fact in large measure accounts for the continued and increased popularity Of this splendid shoe.
 The department is located in one or the most delightful sections of the Gamble Desmond company stores, being separated from the picture gallery only by an arch. It is handsomely and most comfortably appointed, perfectly lighted and away from the rush and hustle of the more public parts of the building.
 John A. Callahan, for many years with A. B. Greenwood is assisting MT. Crowell among others, and since the opening of the department he has been busy welcoming his many friends

STOCK MARKET FEATURES.
As Reviewed by the Firm of Prince &s
 Whitely

Whitely.
 New York, Dec. 3.-Although the London market was lower this morning and selling orders emanating from Flu rope amounted to nearly 25,000 shares on balance, our market did not show much weakness at the opening. Some stocks showed a fractional decline, but on the whole there was good senti- ment prevailing on the part of investors and the room and professional traders even, who have espoused the bear side on the industrial line had to take refuge in what the president in his message to congress might say before they could make any inroads to values of that group.
 Rumors of disaster almost in every direction were plentifully afloat Short selling was the order of the day and yet when these same rumor mongers make up their accounts they will find that trade throughout every branch of business is promising and that their sales some day will have to be covered More or less, no doubt, to use slang expression, every tub will have to stand on it's own bottom. This applies to rail- TOdQS dS well dS lU IlduSlTldlS, ana with the lights before us we firmly be- ljeye that the old establihed industrials as well as the standard class of rail- roads as well the middle priced ones on their reorganization betterment and savings will offer to the public safe chances of investment. London on curb closed easy; continental bourses steady. Foreign exchange trifle easier; actual rate 4.S1% and 4.S5A at F. The presi- dents message to congress was publish ed in full tonight. It cannot help but be satisfactory to the country at large. Wheat market shows signs of specula- tive revival Advance may come over night, and be of some magniture be- cause all indications, even after de- cline of 10 per cent. per bushel point in that direction. Cotton is firm and gaining in strength in every direction We look for much higher prices during the season and think it should be bought on all recessions. The stock market during the closing hour was favorable, and not positive certain in tone or price. Rails firm but indus trials had to stand the brunt of con- tinual attacks on the part of room and professional operators. The close was fairly steady. Total safes, 65S,O0O.

CAN DRAW s20,000 A MONTH
COUNTESS CASTELLANE WILL BE ALLOWED THIS SUM.
Creditors Agree to Terms-Suit to Limit the Expenses of the Noble French Couple. Adjourned Pending Affidavits from, E.ap,ca

New York, Dec. 3.--The income of the Countess de Castellane from the estate
 of her father, Jay Gould, which wac
 tied up by temporary injunction grant
 ed by Justice Fitzgerald several days
 ago, has been released to the extent of
 $250,000 a month. This was the result
 of a conference held to-day by counsel for the Goulds and counsel for creditors of the Count de Castellane.
 Before this conference was held the
 suit of those creditors to limit the ex- penses of the countess to $250,00 year was adjourned until December 17.
 The adjournment was asked for by Colonel F. c. James, representing the Goulds on the ground that time was required to get affidavits deemed nec- essary to the defense from France
 These affidavits are those of the Count and Countess de Castellane and other persons now residing in France and England in regard to the source, nature and circumstances of the in- debtedness set forth in the complaint of the plaintiff.
 The form of the suit is for the cori- tinuance of temporary injunction re- straining George J., Edwin, Howard and Helen M. Gould, as trustees of the Gould estate, from paying to Anna Gould, Countess de Castellane, or any one acting for her, any of the income, profits, rents, proceeds or any other portion of her share of the estate.
 Antone J. Dittmar is the plaintiff, and he is represented in the legal proceed- H1r CIIUUoS,hafy,1 T,nto Marshall The temporary injunction was granted by Justice Fitzgerald. Samuel Untermyer, of counsel for Ditt- mar, acquiesced in the adjournment. Tn the course of his remarks, however, he declared that the Goulds and De Cas- tellanes were banded together to defeat the creditors.
 Colonel James then asked Justice Leventritt for a modification of the re- straining order in order that the Coun- tess de Castellane might get some of her income. The justice did not think he was warranted in modifying an order granted by another justice.
 But, your honor," said Colonell James, "this application for an injunc- ton, if available at all, can only reach that part of the surplus above $25O,0O0 That sum is not in dispute. The appli- cants admit that $250,O0O Is required to meet the necessary and legitimate ex- penses of the Countess de Castellane, and aim only at the amount over and above that sum. But the injunction re- strains all payments.''
 The justice, however, declined to make any modification of the order.
 Then the conference noted above was leld and agreement reached
