REVIEW OF TRADE.
II is Generally Thought That Prices Are as
Low as They'll Go-Fall Demands
Larger Than Usual.

Il. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
OF trade says: There are further evil
dences of weakness in raw materials, no
tably the break in structural iron, but
each one is avalcd OF to place heavy
contracts. New York is welcoming buy
ers from all over the country in larger
numbers than for many years at this sea-
son, III dry goods, in groceries, in jewel
ry and in hardware; and ii contracts are
not placed to as large a volume
as expected by this time it is because
OF conservatism OF those who think they
may compel some further shading OF
prices. 1t is becoming more apparent
that the bottom has been reached il
prices of iron and steel. The decline
has been severe and recovery must be
slow, but gradual advances and moder-
ately increasing activity are more heal
thy than violent changes Except steel
rails all forms of iron, from the ore TO
the finished product, are sought more
eagerly and with less effort to secure
further concession in price. The first
effect OF the official report OF wheat con-
dition, indicating total crop OF only
5I5,oo7 900 bushels, was TO strengthen
prices, but when the secretary OF agri-
culture was reported as predicting dol
lar wheat before the end OF the year,
the market showed an inclination to dis
agree, and the September option fell
below 80 cents at New York for the
hrst time in two months. Failures for
the week were IoI IN the United States,

Ten years ago, when the crown

Ise. while out gamboling in the water
one day the prince noticed a fisher
mans boy OF about the same age as
himself, whose consummate skill in
swimming drew forth his admiration.
The lowly youth, whose name was Yei,
had the honor Of being presented to
the prince, and there sprang up a boy,
ish friendship between the two. A dec
ade had elapsed since then, and his
highness was once more back at Ise
the other day, on his wedding tour
The memories Of the past came back

wanted to see his old friend, and, after
a good deal of trouble, the order was
conveyed to Yei, now grown a sturdy

Yei approached the imperial presence

FAMILY OF ENGINEERS.
Long and Faithful Railroad sorviso Of
All OF Them

Michael W. Regan. who was killed In
the wreck Of tho fast bound mail train
Of the Lake Shore at Westfield on
Wednesday, May %. was one of tho
best known locomotive engineers In
this part Of the country. He was in
the employ of the Lake Shore for a
generation, and always enjoyed the
confidence of tho officials OF tho line
as a man who could make the time
and do careful, conscientious work.
Regan began railroading as a fireman
the old Buffalo q State Line road, af-
terword extended to Erie, and called
the Buffalo g. Erie, and finally merged
into the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern. In 1866 he got his step and
took the throttle OF a switch engine at
Dunkirk. The next year he ran the
work train at Silver Creek, and on
July 1, 1869, he went on the road as n
freight engineer In 1880 he was pss-
NOTED to passenger run, and up to
his untimely end piloted the passenger
trains of the Lake Shore In winter and
summer. Regan came from a family
of engineers. His brother, Thomas
Regan. has the opposite run on the
companion train. His brother, James
Regan, who died a short time ago,
was an engineer on the Lake Shore,
and another brother Edward Regan,
is an engineer the Lehish Valley.
His son. Francis Regan, is an engineer
on the Lake Shore, and his two broth
ers-in-law also run on the same road.
In Regan's career Of thirty-four years
as a locomotive engineer he had but
three accidents. and none was the re-
suit Of his fault or negligence. He had
the reputation OF making uniformly
good runs, and the train he was taking
out when killed is one OF the fastest
mails in the country.-Buffalo Ex-

Origin OF the Silver wedding.

The first silver wedding dates back
to the time of Hugh Capst of France.
Two servants had grown gray in his
service. a man and a woman, and what
could he give them as q reward? Call.
ing the woman, he said: Your service
Is great, greater than this mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
q man, and, therefore, I will give you
a reward. At your age, know Of none
better than a dovry and a husband.
The dowry is here-ths farm from
this time forth belongs to you. II this
man, who has worked with you five
and twenty years, is willing to marry
you, then the husband Is ready"
Your majesty" said the old servant,
how is II possible that We should
marry, having already silver hairs?'
Then 1t shall be silver wedding"
and the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty. This
soon became known all over France,
and 1t became fashion after twenty
five years Of married life to celebrate
a silver wedding.
