The Industries.

There are many good signs in
business. The most important on
the whole is thai the volume of
trade has continued with SO little
decrease through the quarter in
which, after the extraordinary dis.
tribution, of last year, the greatest
shriD kage might have been expect
ed, and in spite Of weather gener-
ally unfayorable 70 retail trade
during the winter. While
seine accumulation of goods.
undo doubtedly results from over
beying, sor from curtailment OF
retail demand in various branches,
the. results for the quarter haye
been such as. toa indicate an
enormous volume of business still
continuing. The labor troubles
which always appear at this season
are perhaps as numerous and ex-
tensive as in other years, but the
great Chicago strike appears to be
partly settled by compromise.
while there aud at other points
the disposition of employers to
prevent prolonged stoppages by
any. concessions that ale reasonable
is frequently shown. Another
feature of Importance is that the
expected demand does OF abate,
as has been. thought inevitable,
but large orders are still received
:or under consideration 81 prices
which were not we're ago supposed
to be prohibitory.-Dun's Review.

just Like a Man.

Admiral Dewey and his wife
have had their first quarrel. The
bride told a aparty of her friends
about it Saturday, aud every one
in town will know it before
tomorrow night. It began by the
admiral insisting, asall men do on
occasions, that his wife wear
rubbers. She refused to do 30 be-
cause il made her feet look SO
large and clumsy, and they dis,
puted until both grew very much
excited, when the admiral, in the
height of his passion, declared
thatif Mrs. Dewey did lot wear.
her rubbers he would no longer
take a tonic that the doctor had
prescribed for him at her sugges-
ton. With tears in her eyes she
surrendered aud has worn rubbers
ever since. Chicago Record.

The Custom House Scandal.

The governor last night received
a long telegram from Magistrate
Moore, Of Charleston, in reference
to the liquor stored in the custom
house. 1t was reported that the
collector was to turn over certain
liquors to the original owner in
New York. Mr.. Moore wrote the
collector about it, but the stuff
will be held pending the report OF
the special treasury agent and the
decision of the department.
Magistrate Moore adds that
there is nothing new IN the situa-
ton, but that it will be proven by
the United States authorities that
both Collector Tolbert and his
deputy, ostendorff, are implicated
IN storing the liquor.-Columbla

Talbert Gets Even.

E tSQncle Jasper LaloeLt, Iue
representative from South I Caro- ARG
llina,. is congratulating himself
lover an opportunity sto5 get even.
It wasn't long ago that some very
severe thingswero said of bimsbe-
cause he insisted always that q
quorum should be present to pass
pension bills. It. was~,her..-who
made the day sessions for pensions
necessary, because, as "Uncle
Jasper putt. Republican men,
bers preferred to-attend pink teas
and poker parties to trans acting
business at the. capitol Friday
nights. =. aaa
When the rule for day sessions
was adopted he and Representative
"Thad' Mahon .,of. Pennsylvania,
had tilt. Both gentlemen
are addicted to violent: lan-
guage. Eack was annoyed: at the
attitude of the other, and in the
mutual fury "Thad' rebuked
aUncle Jasper for demanding a
quorum Oh pension business, and
expressed his inten ton to get up
a contest in the So ii Carolin-,
ian's district in the, xt Congress.
Mr.. Mahon said 1t would afford
him great satisfaction to see the
gentleman thrown out -
Last Friday Mr.. Mahon had his
trouble. His district is on the
border line between the Keystone
State and Maryland. Near to his
heart for many years have been
the So called border claims, which
citizens there have preferred, for
devastation wrought by the armies
when Lee started to invade the
north. Long and vallantly Mr..
Mahon fought in the House for
the passage Of a bill to adjudicate
these calims. The majority was
against him. First the motion to
lay the bill ASIDE with favorable
recommendation was defeated
ayes 26 "No. quorum" yelled
Mr.. Mahen, at which Mr.. Talbert
pricked up his ears. A quorum
was finally counted, and a motion
to lay the bill on the table
vas carried. Then Mr.. Mahon
again made a point Of no quorum.
IF you want to get your bills
through" he exclaimed testify,
"you ought to have quorum here"
almost the Identical argument
that Mr.. Talbert :. had made
frequently. ~
This brought Mr.. Talbert to his
feet. "Now, Mr.. Chairman" he
said seriously, 81 want to warn the
gentleman that if he insists on
that 1 shall get up contest in his
district and have him thrown out
of the next House"
There was uproarious laughter
at this. Mr.. Talbert chuckled
heartily. AS soon as he found an
opportunity he told the joke to

A Method According to Nature

The experiments of moderL ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many of
the germs of disease enter the body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very small but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
compal atlvely harmless in health;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture Of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei' destruction. AS we can do
SO little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system 80 that it, may repel
and resist their destructive in
Auence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
inhalation of oxygen which is at
once revitalizer and germicide?
The experience of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

VARROWNESS IN
 THE STOCK MARKET one Was Not Well Defined at
 Any Time WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT Was a Surprise and Caused Market to Turn Downward-Bonds Were In Large Demand at Advanced
 Prices Over Past Week.
WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT I

- New York, December 1.-There was comparatively narrow market for stocks today and the tone was not well defined at any time. Large and confident buying of stocks was in evidence but this was partly offset by the sharp weakness of a number of industrials and specialties, and the whole market turned downward with tho appearance of the bank statement and with the additional influence of a break of 3 points in sugar.
 The notable demand for railroad stocks looked to shares of companies operating in the Southern region. Chesapeake and Ohio and the Southern Railway stocks were talk en in large blocks, and Mobile and Ohio was moved upward 315 points out of a dormant state. Sugar was heavy through out on doubts regarding the approaching dividend Which rumor has proclaimed would be increased. Reports current of projected new refinery near New York had a marked effect on that stock and helped to break the price in the final dealings Peoples Gas, Glucose, Smelling and Ana conda also weakened early in the trading. American Tobacco showed a strong recov- cry from recent depression and the coalerS had a rise on a cold wave.
 The bank statement was a surprise. The heavy loan expansion is supposed to be due largely to preparations for interest require ments for December 1, but the usual De- cember prepara tions for January l are eX- pected to become effective soon, and the revival of the interior demand for currency towards the end of last week suggests eau tion for the borrowing of money for specu- lation. The gain in cash of $1,S42,30O was unexpected and served as welcome offset to the increase in the reserve requirements of $3, ,254, 300 growing out of the large addl- ton of $11, ITS 900 to deposits The inroad of $1412 500 was that the surplus would other wise have been much larger.
 The continued large demand for bonds at advancing prices was a notable feature or the trading.
 The bond market has been less unsettled this week than stocks Business has in- creased and prices have advanced. Junior or refunding and reorganization bonds have been the favorites, especially new issues.
 United States refunding 2s advanced IS, the old As and 5s Aand the 3s and new As F per cent over the call prices of a week ago.
