! interest" said the old lawyer dryly.
| And so it did. Seven days later,
when the hour appointed for the recep-
ton Of Miss Stevens rejected suitors
drew near, the streets in the vicinity Of
her late residence were lined with an
eager multitude Of men and women.
AS the hour drew near in which they
were to stand confessed as members Of
Miss Eleanor's ''army Of martyrs" sew
eral Of the intended claimants had
found themselves weakening in their
resolve. Those, for instance, who had
justified their claim solely on the
ground Of an admiration felt, but never
expressed, saw their courage oozing as
the ordeal approached. Others, who
were burning incense at new shrines,
( seriously considered renouncing claim
that would decidedly complicate their
present prospects.
1t was a question whether pride or1
profit would win the day. In the end,
however, the love Of gold won.
When Mr.. Pratt entered the library
Of Miss Stevens late residence at 10I
o'clock on this eventful morning, he
found the room crowded with body
of men clad in mourning garb and sol
EMMY waiting in various stages Of un-
easiness for the approach of the long
expected moment.
As the lawyer silently took his seat
behind baize covered table the treu-
bled faces grew visibly more troubled, |
and as he produced sundry important
looking documents and laid them on
the table each countenance was stamp |
ed with mingled emotions, eager ex-
pectancy in many cases being linked
with shame and avarice.

but Mr.. Hale Believes the Amount
Too SmalI-Tide of Expenditures
Steadily Rising-senate Passes the
Pension Appropriation Bill and
Takes Up the Subsidy Measure.
Washington, Feb. 8.-There was a
discussion in the senate during the
day concerning the amount of the ap-
preparation of this session and in re-
ply to question by Mr.. Morgan, Mr..
Allison, chairman Of the senate COM
mittee on appropriations, said he
thought they would amount to $780,,
100000, with obligations for 100000:
600 more for future sessions. Mr..
Hale thought the amount would be
nearer $500, 100000 for the session.
He said the tide of expenditures was
steadily rising. A few years ago the
country was shocked at a "billion-
dollar congress-" soon we would have
a billion-dollar session. Mr.. Teller
said the last session appropriated
$760,000,000 and member of the ap-
preparation committee Of the house
said there should have been 500, 000,
600 more as some future session will
be called upon to make up that
amount.
The senate passed the pension APP
preparation bill and took UP the ship
subsidy bill. Mr.. McLaurin IS. c.
spoke in favor of the measure.
While Mr.. Morgan was discussing
the shipping bill in the senate Mr..
Spooner asserted that the shipping
bill was not a party measure. Mr..
Allison assented to this statement.

eERMANY's HOPS CROP SMALL.
Austria and England, However.
Have Good Yields.

Washington. Oct. 12-George E. Baldwin.
United States Consul at Nuremberg, has
forwarded to the State Department a re-
port on the production of hops in the more
important European countries. He says:
Germany. including Bavaria. will have
a very small hop crop this year. Germany,s
production last year was about oSs.SO
American hu~ndredweight: this years crop
is estimated at only 313. 80 h~undredweight.
ON tire other hand Austria will have an exo
ceedinsly rich crop. a gain of about s?.lcS
huadredweight. and England will surpass
all other countries. with the enormous yield
OF 5000 hundredweight.
'of course. prices for Bavarian hops will
he higher this year. but the fact that other
countries. especially Bohemia and England.
which have rich crops, Will export largely.
and also the fact that many Bavarian
brewers have large stocks of hops. will
keep down prices.
The consumption of hops throughout
the world is estimated at 2,3ji. $50 hundred
weight; while this years production, though
larger. than last years. is only 2.eo3. 100
h~uniredweight. one might infer that this
deficiency would bring about a scarcity OF
hops. but it must not be forgotten that
stocks are on hand from previous years"

GROWTH OF SILK INDUSTRY.
nited States Taking the Lead Among
the MOrId.s Producers.

According to Consul Covert at Lyons, an
article upon the silk industry of the world,
recently published in a French trade paper.
shows that the United States is likely to
take the lead among the silk producers of
the world During the last three years the
consumption of raw silk in the United
States has exceeded that of France. The
trade paper says that the producing power
of the United States has equaed that of
France since 1897, and American manu-
facture has power of expansion that ours
does not possess" Statistics show that the
silk industry is growing and extending, and
that more people are wearing silk than ever
before. According to the French authority
