The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-02-03

A truck load OF boxes containing
thousands OF pairs of thick -soled,
white-edged shoes, such as are worn by
Cinnamon, were recently stacked in
the storeroom Of wholesale dealer in
oriental goods in New York. Are
these shoes made in this country?" In
CURED the writer, as he looked at a
part of the stock displayed to view in
an open box. NO" replied the mer-
chant, they all come from Canton,
Where they are made by hand. Be-
tween 100000 and 100000 pairs of such
shoes are annually imported by some
half-dozen wholesale houses, mostly in
New York. From this city the shoes
are distributed to hundreds of retailers
OF oriental goods throughout the south.
east and west, where they are sold to
all classes of Cinnamon at from ST to
$S per pair, according to the quality
and finish. The methods employed in
the manufacture of Chinese shoes are
ingenious and interesting. The bottom
soles are made from ten to fifteen lay
ers of very thin leather placed one
upon another, making built-up sole.
This sole is stitched through and
through in many places on regular
lines, giving the bottom of the sole a
sort of quilted effect. This work is
neatly and trinity done even on the
cheapest shoes, and when the sewing is
completed a white material resembling
plaster is applied to the edges of the
sole. When the white edge of the
shoe, which is extremely hard, be-
comes soiled it can be cleaned and
whitened again by rubbing it with
damp cloth. The top or upper of the
Chinese shoe is usually of cloth, silk
or satin, and the lining is always of the
same material. Velvet is, however,
often used on the top, cut in patterns
that are laid over the body of the shoe, |
which may be of silk or satin in some
bright color, while the velvet may be
of black, producing picturesque and
striking appearance. Such shoes, when
embroidered, are only worn by persons
of rank, and cost from SIS to $25."-

The Kansas City Star says: Len
Cooper, convict at the federal
penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth,
was visited by his parents Thurs
day. His parents came from In
dian Territory in wagon, and the
old couple brought sausage, cheese
and crackers to treat their boy to
an extra meal. They asked to be
allowed to eat with him, which is
against the rules, but they were
permitted to do so. On their own
request they were furnished din
ner from the prison kitchen. and
they expressed their astonishment
to find the good food the convicts
received.

Last Day of the Art xhihit.

Those who have put off seeing the pie lures at Warner hall until to-day, the closing day of the exhibition, would do well to go promptly at 10 a. m. or at D.. 1n., for later in the morning and later in the afternoon the crowd will be very great. It was so crowded there yester- day at times that many came looked in and did not dare enter. But between 10 and il and ? and one can have a quiet hour with the artists or can wan der about at ones own sweet will among the beautiful buildings and ru- ins of the old world. Then there is the evening, when no children go and when the pictures are very we'll lighted by electric lights and MT. SaWvel, who &C., companies the exhibit, is there to an- swer any questions in regard to the pictures. The exhibit has been an ar tistc and financial success; and more than this, the New Haven public have been shown what other cities have done and are doing in this important matter of school-room decoration, and what it is hoped can be done here, although it will take a number of years to supply the demand of forty-four schools

TWO INTERESTING PAPERS
Read Before the Historical Society Last
 Night.


 Night.
 K At the regular monthly meeting of the New Haven Colony Historical society last night two very interesting papers were read, one by Judge s. E. Baldwin and the other by the Hon. F. J. Kings bury of Waterbury. Judge Baldwin's paper was entitled "The American Jur- isdiction of the Bishop of London in Our Colonial Era This paper was read be- fore the meeting of the American Anti quarian society some time ago and proved an exceedingly interesting one. Preceding Judge Baldwin's paper MT. Kingsbury's paper, entitled 'An Fries son Propeller on the Pennington Ca nal" was read. A vote of thanks was extended to the readers of both papers. It was also voted to instruct the com mittee appointed several years ago for the purpose of drawing up plans for a monument to be erected at the junction of Congress, Columbus and Davenport avenues, at the point where the old West bridge was built against the Brit ish forces on July 5, 1779, to go ahead and complete arrangements for the monument. This monument will doubt less be a handsome one and should prove to be one of New Haven's most interesting historical landmarks.
 MT. Kingsburys paper will appear later

STOCK MARKET
 STILL UNSETTLED Uncertainty Around the Iron and
 Steel Stocks. A SLIGHT GENERAL BUYING The Medium of the Wire Stock Was Feverish, the Common and Pre-
 ferred Often Moving in
 Opposite Directions

New York, April 2O.-The stock market continued unsettled and hesitating today under the influence of the uncertainty surrounding the iron and steel issues. The undertone was firm and the early period of weakness gave way to a slow and ir- regular upward movement. doubtless due in large part to the demand from the short interest to cover. The rates for loans on stocks this morning the floor indicated that the short interest was quite large.
 The comparative quiet of the iron and steel stocks and positive strength at a number of points prompted the covering of shorts and encouraged with the slight buying for general account there was some business. Wire was sluggish all day in view of the session of the company's s executive meeting.
 The medium of the stock was feverish the common and preferred often. moving in contrary directions, as though to cause a feeling of uncertainty over the develop ments in the company. Aside from this confusing manipulation other stocks were largely in the hands of the room traders, who circulated rumors concerning the executive committee meeting. The com mittee and action was kept secret until af ter the close of the market. With this dis
 
 number of favorable influences were al lowed to have play.
 There is rather more mystery than usual surrounding the item of loans. The liqui- dation in the stock market indicates loan contraction. but the declining sale of in- terest rates has prompted the banks to place as large loans possible. Call money loaned as low as per cent. today
 The bond market was less active today, and prices were fairly well held. Total sales par value. $l,930,000
