who was to speak in the interest of the
Home this week, writes us at the last
moment that owing to Columbus re-
calling their appointments, it was i'm
possible for her to come to Ohio. Her
route in Ohio was Toledo, Cincinnati,
Columbus and Marietta. So we alone
are not disappointed, but this fact does
not lessen cur regret over the turn of
affairs and for which Marietta w. G.
T. U. members are not responsible.
However, we are still hopeful that at
somt time in the near future we may
be able to secure her services or some
other able speakers service in the in

HOW THEY TRADE IN CHINA.
Americans Would BE Exnsperated by
Such Utterly Absurd Busi-
ness Methods.

When a man or woman goes into a
shop in China a clerk, with much cere.
mony, brings fragrant tea, which is
served in fine style. The compliments
of the season are exchanged, there are
talks about the weather--in fact, every
kind of evasion is employed to keep
away from the real reason of the visit,
which is to buy something. The pro-
prietor solemnly watches these pro-
sceedings from afar. The style of COM
pliment is of this order: SIN what
celestial country did your exalted ex-
cellence purchase the supertine gar
ments upon which feast my eyes?
Surely in no miserable and unworthy
land like our own? ?" When the tea and
talk are exhausted the little pipe bear
er, who always attends his master or
mistress out of doors, lights pipe for
his employer. There are only a few
whiffs in each pipeful, so the process
has to be frequently repeated.
Then business begins. The shopper
asks the price of the required article
and makes an offer that is much lower.
This is promptly refused in language
that is courteous and polite beyond de-
scription. Then the possible purchaser
departs with great dignity and ele-
gance. When bargain is completed
the purchaser never pays it himself.
The chief steward is called, notified
that the article has been accepted, and
when the bill comes in the "boy" set
ties it, giving an account quarterly to
his master of the money disbursed for
the household. Money as we have it
is unknown in China. There are no sill
yer dollars, no fractions of dollars, as
quarters and ten-cent pieces, no paper
bank notes. There is coin called
''cash" with hole punched in the mid
die that is used for small transactions.
Cash" can be strung like beads ON
string. 1t takes 100 pieces to equal
the value of one standard cent. Gold
is only used for ornaments in China,
never for current coin.

HER WEIGHT IN GOLD.
band 125 Pounds of the Pre-
cious Metal.

There is an old lady living. in south
ern California, at the patriotic little
mountain settlement known as Ameri-
can Flag, who is an object of much in
terest to strangers from the fact that
she is probably the only woman on
earth the valuation of whose person
ever was literally appraised at her
weight in gold" said Maj II. Gardner,
late of the census bureau, reports the
Buffalo News.
''She is 6S years old now, and the
widow of one Jesus Castro, a Mexican.
This Mexican was one of the first
miners who struck fortune in gold in
the pioneer days of California. He
lived in the Santa Clara mountains
and returned home more than loaded
down with gold dust. He fell passion
ately in love with his brothers daugh-
ter, a handsome girl of II. She re-
turned her uncle's love and consented
to marry him. The priest to whom
they applied, learning of their close
blood relationship, refused to marry
them. Castro offered as high as $4,000
to the church as an inducement for
the priest to perform the marriage GER
emony, but the offer was refused
Then, as the old widows story goes.
Castro asked what amount of wealth
would induce him to marry them. The
priest, with the intention and eXpecta-
tion of impressing Castro with the
hopelessness of his appeal, replied:
1.-The girls weight in gold
"Now, the Mexican maiden, while not
being overbuXom, was well TO do in fig
ure for one of her age, but Castro did
not even pause long enough to ascer-
tain what her weight might be. HI ex-
claimed:
"'Good, holy father!'
''Then he ordered scales to be
brought, and, begging the girl to stand
on one side of them, he poured glitter
ing gold dust into the other side until
the precious stuff balanced rhe weight
of his inanorata. The priest was dumb
with amazement, and it was a long
time before he recovered sufficiently To
say the promised words that made the
twain one. Castro had won his bride
at the cost of 1875 pounds of the boarded
gold. He had snug lot left, how
ever, and the story is that he lived
long enough to see the time that he
would lave taken great deal less than
her weight in gold for the wife on
which mis- youthful ardor placed Sc
great value"

lines in Pennsylvania and Buckeye OF
fields was recorded during October
Shipments of Pennsylvania oil took
drop of over 1000 barrels a day while

made in the runs. The Buckeye ship
ments were the heaviest Of the presen
year while the runs were in excess Of
those for September. Both runs anG
shipments showed decrease durine
September, but the shipments wert
still in excess of the runs so that the
net stocks of Pennsylvania oil were
reduced over 100000 barrels. Lima oil
shipments ruled small in Septembe,
and the decrease in the Eastern oil
fields was more than counterbalanced
by a gain of over 100000 barrels in the

exceeded for several years past.
The average daily runs OF Pennsyl-
vania oil were 103,l2S barrels in Octo-
Der, a gain of 5,779 barrels over the

Virginia, which came in during the
last week in September For three
months Of the current year, June, Aug,
ust and October, the Pennsylvania
runs have exceeded 100000 barrels a

ly since September, 1897. The pipe
line runs of Pennsylvania oil averaged
97,349 barrels day in September
which was a drop of 3,461 barrels from

rage and an increase of S01 barrels
over that Of June The runs for July
averaged 1888 barrels a day, a de.
cline of 2,171 barrels from Lhe June

ragged 100000 barrels. For May the
