There are more ways than one to skin a cat. and 1t appears that it is possible to discover one way to skin trust. Western retailers and farmers have dis covered a way to skin the Binding Irvine trust. Last year the ports of the Philippines were nominally closed, and the trust put up prices upon the as- sumption that with such a pretext for an increase the consumers would be vance. It Is immatelial now whether
 as many persons believe, the ports in If General Otis had made strenuous effort. Whether this was true or not. the people of the West got the idea into their heads that they ought not to pay more for twine because of the failure of the military authorities at Manila to secure the release for commercial pur- poses of the immense quantity of hemp which had accumulated in the Philip pines Consequently dealers in the western States who handle twine en- tered into an agreement not to make their purchases at the usual time in the fall, but to hold off until the trust was ready to sell at reasonable figure. The trust managers for some time kept their warehouses stocked at great ex- nense. but the dealers stood by their agreement and the trusts products re- mained unsold. Finally the Philippine ports were declared open and the trust reduced its prices. The western deal CTS saved two cents pound on twine, and the monopoly lost the profits which it had determined to extort from the retailers and farmers.
 Perhaps there will be more combina- tions of buyers against combinations of sellers. The more the merrier.

This is world of change but it is the same old Bryan. We demand, says he in his Nebraska platform, an Amer ican financial system, made by the American people for themselves, to be the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of consent of any other nation.
 Bryan is certainly persistent and con- ent as a balky horse, and just about as sensible and progressive.

 When the breakfast was brought in the following morning what was his surprise to behold the negress logged out in a magnificent evening dress, with sparklers in her hair and other adornments on her bare arms and neck.

Be Wary in buyimg Neck Notions.
 There are some lovely examples Of spring wraps to be found in the shops There is q sudden revival of the tichu cape, and when worn over a sheath hipped dress the effect is charming. A wrap of white cloth appears like a wide scarf drawn about the shoulders, showing their outline prettily. It IS knotted at the bust, and long ends hang to the knees, About the lower edge or the scarf is a founce that narroWs to- wards the knot in front. A yoke finish ed with high and spreading collar is of white taffeta covered with tiny frills of lace, and this yoke shows above the shoulder scarf. The scarf is elaborat- ed by overlaid taffeta figures outlined by little lace frills. All this sounds

SOME JUSTICE IN CHICAGo.

There is some justice left in Chicago, and loan shark of that city has just | got his share. In a case in Judge Tut hills court a man had borrowed $225 of d loan concern and had paid back
 $500, only to find that he still owed
 $221.50. The interest rate established
 by the owner was $15 for $50 for three
 months. The borrower paid $1O a week and renewed his notes whenever the time limit had expired As interest was compounded the borrower found the
 principal growing larger, and he soon
 concluded that it was useless to try to
 keep up with the figures of the rapa- cious loan shark, and he accordingly defaulted on further payments after having paid $500. Judge Tuthill ruled that the various assignments of wages made by the plaintiff in favor of the loan concern were of mo force or ef- feet whatever" having been signed in TIC dlsO UtCISSu lLdt lIS edness appearing to be due from the plaintiff had been fully paid and dis charged, and the loaner was ordered to cancel and destroy any notes held by him against the plaintiff. To make the object lesson still more impressive the court assessed the usurer $150 costs
 This is about right. One hundred per cent. interest or more is too much when government bonds only pay two per cent.

TOR 4 PACTFIC CABLE.

After much labor the Senate Commit
 tee on Naval Affairs has brought forth a bill for a Pacific cable. The bill pro- vides for cable only to Honolulu, but declares purpose to extend it in the future, the first section reading as fol- lows: That to the end of establishing hereafter telegraph communication be- tween the United States and the Phil ippine Islands and Japan under the waters of the Pacific Ocean, there shall be constructed, under the supervision of the Secretary of the Navy, a sub marine telegraphic cable or cables, and connecting land lines, from the city of San Francisco, California, to the city of Honolulu H. l., over such route as may be deemd by the Secretary of the Navy to be the most practicable" Three million dollars is appropriated for the work, and further surveys are to determine the most prac- tica ble route. The Secretary is empow- cred to cause plans to be prepared inn upon the passage of the act, and to employ naval vessels if neces- sary in the construction. The control of the cable when completed is to be transferred to the postmaster-g general.
 It will be very interesting to watch the progress of this bill.

Sauerbeck's table of average commod- ity prices in the London market reports an index number of 75.1 for February, and 65.S in February of last year. The present average is higher than for any time in eleven years and compares with 59.2 in July of 1896, the lowest point touched in a generation. This represents an advance in general commodity prices during the past four years of about P per cent.

A school teacher in England advertis- ed for boys difficult to manage" In response to this advertisement he got, among others, one boy who subsequent ly set fire to the school building, so great had become his desire to escape from the school. Thereupon, the school teacher sued the boy in the High Court. The question at issue seemed to be: What risks does the master assume, and at what point in the relations between teacher and pupil will the law inter- fere? This was matter of great per plexity to MT. Justice Ridley and also to the special jury. The justice decided that the master assumed at least the risk of "the wear and tear of school furniture by knocking about and kick ing the doors," but no more. The ex- act point as to kicking the doors does not appear. The jury brought in a verdict of 9450 in favor of the school master. An English writer, comment

It is interesting to note in connection with the discoveries of gold along the coast of Alaska that the Okhotsk Kamtchatka country has been carefully surveyed, as well as other parts of east ern Siberia during the last three or four years. This work has been undertaken by a special commission Investigating the chances of developing the mining industries in that section. At Kwan- tung (Port Arthur searches were made for gold with satisfactory results, and all along the coast there was encoun- tered profusion of gold-bearing sand which yielded good results, even when worked by most primitive methods It is stated that there is also a likelihood of collaborating quartz being found in this country.

The Philadelphia Record reports a movement of some big department stores to have the government issue a new coin of the denomination of a half cent. Signatures to the document set ting forth the need of such coin have been secured from prominent retail merchants of Philadelphia, and other cities have also become interested. The bargain seeker who delights in seeing things marked down may eventually experience the delight of paying 7h cents for an article reduced from 8 cents. The merchants claim that in these days of keen competition, when large sales and small profits are the rule, some such plan is necessary. Sev- eral individual firms in Chicago have issued their own half-cent pieces, which, of course, are only redeemable in their own establishments. The gov ernment has nothing to do with this money
