has cabled to London Offering to fight
Ryan there, and a match is probable. AS
Fitzpatrick is, or was. Thorne's manager,
and took Ryan with him to England. one
can guess the rest.

Sharkey if he would give Mccoy a match

NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
st. Louis Woman's Case in the Courts
of Mexico, No, Against Parents
Of Her Husband,


From the St. Louis Post-Dispatoh.
In the Circuit Court at Mexico, NO.,
Friday morning, Judge E. n. Hughes
overruled a motion for q new trial In
the noted suit Of Mrs. Laura Atkinson,
OF st. Louis, against Mr.. and Mrs.
J. M. Atkinson, OF Audrain county.
This is the case wherein Mrs. Atkin.
son asked $4,000 from her parents
in-Iaw for the alleged alienation Of her
husbands affections, and was award
ed only 500 by the jury.
The decision was handed down last
Monday. A motion for q new trial
was Immediately fled, as neither side
seemed entirely satisfied with the YER
dict. Now, the case may be taken to
the st. Louis Court of Appeals.
Mrs. Atkinson believes that her
husband Is certainly worth more than
$500, and has hopes that the higher
courts may agree with her. On the
other hand, the Atkinsons claim they
have had moth ing to do with the sep
aratlon of their son, Clarence, from
his pretty st. Louis girl-wife, and
therefore ought not be assessed at
all.
Mrs. Atkinson was Laury Ryan, of
2315 Eugenia street, where she now
resides with her mother, Mrs. Daniel
Ryan. She met Clarence Atkinson,
whose parents are wealthy, while he
was here attending business college.
He went to board at her home and
soon they eloped.
That was on June Il, 1899. Last
March be left her and went to Mon
tana, where he now resides. Mrs.
Atkinson lie 20 years old. Her hus-
band is a year older.

Position as to Policies.



While most ex-politicians r Civ
ing publicity to their views regarding
the Presidential campaign, Grover
Cleveland is apparently not concern
ing himself one bit over it. bis pas
sivity lie indeed qultss remarkable,
and many have been the attempts
made to get him to express an opin-
ion one way OF the other.
The most recent was that made by q
World representative who a day or
two ago visited the x-President and
endesvored to elicit a declaration Of
his position, which had become espe-
cially important In view Of Mr. lney's
recent deliverance.
To this demand by the newspaper
man Mr.. Cleveland made q brief and
emphatic reply, so brief and emphatic
as to leave no doubt that he has
assumed a position In the matter the
ixity of which he will not permit TO
be disturbed.
81 do not intend to make any dec
laration," be said, with a shake of his
head that meant as mach II not more

PAYING OFF IN BANK CHECKS.


One Troublesome kraottoe GehAeneu W
the war Revenue Tax
The war tax has Its drawbacks" re-
marked the cashier In q large stock
yards concern, "but II is a blessing to
a man in my position. / knew
to what extent the habit Of making
small bank checks had spread until /
saw a contractor pay of his laborers
one Saturday night in checks. made
inquiry, and found that II was a COM
mon practice not only with him, but
many others who hired great bodies
Of men. The latter didn't like 1t, OF
course, because they we're obliged to
cash the checks at the nearest gin mill,
which meant a loss to them, because
they had to treat. A contractor who
made a practice of issuing small checks
told me frankly that In the old days.
when Il was necessary 60 face each
check with a 2-cent internal revenus
stamp, he made as few checks as pos
sible. The war tax having included
bank checks the habit Of issuing small
checks has practically been discon-
tinued. That's why I say the tax is q
blessing in disguise. 1t is not profit
able to issue checks for small sums.
There is still another reason why we
now use fewer checks for small
amounts. Expert bank men declare
that the simplest check to raise is the
one calling for an amount below $40.
The percentage of raised checks is 66
on sums below $40. Another reason
for the opposition to small checks is
that they bother the bank authorities.
Some banking institutions viii cast
out a patrons account should he per-
sist in making small checks. The
eheapening Of the registry of letters is
smother reason for the suppression OF

Development Of the Industry Now

" small output, has now a rival in

the processes by which this Is produced
that Joseph Cash, chairman OF a fac
tory at Wolston. near Coventry. read a
paper at the Society Of Arts, says the
London Mail. Sir T. wardle presided.
Many attempts have been made, said
MI. Cash, to produce a material resem-
bling silk. but only recently have they
resulted in q commercially successful
fabric. The earliest imitation was
spun glass, which in its fexibility and
briilancy IL excellent for millinery or
dress ties, but its limitations are soon
reached, for 1t can only be spun GER
tain lengths, and 1t possesses little or
no warmth. Polished" cotton, "mer-
cerized" cotton and Pandura silk"
made Of gelatin thread, have struggled
for recognition in the market, but COM
plete victory seems to be reserved to
what Is known as collodion silk" pro-
duced By the Chardonne method. which
Is elaborate. Enormous sums OF money
1t appears had been lost ere the pres
ent success was attained two years ago.
But now the development Of the IN
dustry Is going on by leaps and bounds
In Besaneon, in France and in switzer-
land. The material has an even great
er b~rillianey than silk. but the warmth
b not 50 great. 1t is more durable,
however, than the natural silk as
known to the ordinary customer.
