German Wooden Industry is Greatly
Depressed

New York, June ia special TO the
Tribune from Washington says: There
is probably no German enterprise which
has undergone within a comparatively
short time such a marked change as the
wooden dress goods industry of this and
neighboring districts. Until 1900 pros
porous conditions prevailed. but early in
that year there was a falling off in the
values Of wool and wooden yarns of so
to so per cent Enormous financial
sacrifices followed. The high tariff of
Russia and the establishment of fac
tories on a large scale at I-adze and
other places in that country, thu loss of
the valuable United States market and
the decrease in exports in Austria, Eng
land and Scandinavia are among the
causes OF depres<wl. Last year two
thirds Of the Lea. rs were idle nor is
there any prospect of Improvement. OF
the many manufacturers previously en-
gagged in the dress goods trade with CIR
country, only seven OF eight are still
LETT and these ship less each season.

PETTY THIEvlNC.
Gen. Shafter So Calls Alleged
San Francisco Frauds.

San Francisco. June 13--Speal<ing of
the alleged extensive frauds in disposing
o military supplies supposed to have
been stolen, Gen. Shafter said:
I am of the opinion that the goods
found by the police were purchased from
the soldiers passing in and out of this
port. More than sixty thousand men
have passed through this port during
the war IF one man in every ten OF
these soldiers sold to dealers pair of
shoes. 500 pairs would thus be placed in
the hands of outsiders. The same rule
applies to shirts and blankets
Notwithstanding the fact that those
having government property wrongfully
in their possession can be prosecuted on
a charge of felony and given a sentence
of from one to five years confinement,
there are plenty of men willing to take
the chance. The goods are first class
and can be purchased from the soldiers
at a ridiculously low figure.
Soldiers can be prevented from sell
ing the stuff. In disposing of it he leaves
himself short The officer who issues
to the men inquiries as to the quantity
of goods he has in his possession If
the officer thinks he is amply supplied
he refuses to issue the goods the sol
der asks for In this manner the en-
listed men are prevented from drawing
more than they need. In my opinion
the police and federal authorities are
exposing a system of petty th1eying.
Owing to the large number Of men these
petty dealers have had opportunity to
larger proportions than it otherwise
would have done.
The military authorities have now
nothing to do with the affair other than
the seizure of government goods found
in the possession of civilians, the posses
sion of which cannot be satisfactorily
accounted for The detection and prose
cution of these dealers rests with the
civil and federal authorities and hope
they make a success of it.
SO far as crookedness existing among
army officers is concerned. candidly
don't believe there is any

New York Police

excitement among the Italian anarch-
lists and socialists in this section over
the detention by order of States Attor-
ney HOar of one Eugenio RistOH of

general at New York.
Mr.. Hoar has asked the consul gem
eral at New York to help him probe the
circumstances.
Last winter Chief of Police Brown
was nearly killed by anarchists, the
trials of several Italians arrested hav-
ing lasted for months, resulting in two
convictions with long terms of impris-
Onment and other trials to come Since
then a spy is said to have been driven
away after being wounded in an at
tempt to assassinate him.
Riston was to have been driven away
today but the supposed kidnapping was
reported to Mr. Hoar and he had the
police raid the place where six men had
Ristoli a prisoner.

CASINO AND BOAT HOUSE.

The new Casino and Boat House or
the south bank of the Delaware Park
Lake, a little to the east of the Bridge
of the Three Americas, is in a sense
a tribute paid to the Pan-Amercan
Exposition by the city of Buffalo,
though it will be of service for many
years after the Exposition has become
history. 1t is a very attractive build
ing, with many cOnvcniences which
will be greatly appreciated by visitors.
The first or basement story is built
with Buffalo Plains limestone, very rus
tic in character and decidedly pictur-
esque In this story will be a restaurant
and lOunging room. A corridor extends
through the entire length of this story
of the building, affording ample room
for the storage of bicycles, and other
uses. The basement story will be sur
mounted by a baluStrade of Indian
limestone with turned baluSterS.
Over a large portion of this story will
be an open terrace covered by pergola.
Perhaps the term periStyle would best
describe this part of the structure.
The columns introduced here are free
Doric. The terrace will be of concrete
construction, with granolithic floors.
The building material above the base
ment story and aside from the terrace
will be white bricks, with roof Of
rich red Spanish tiles The second
story will be devoted to amusemcnts,
and the third story will be occupied as
living rooms by the lessee of the build
ing.
Underneath the basement story is
the place of storage for boats during
the winter, and extending out over the
water is boat platform, 128 feet long
and % feet wide.
The building covers an area of 100 by
- feet. Its cost is $4,000.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY.
HUNTINGDON.

DON'T LIKE RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Perhaps the postottice department
thought to give Huntington people
better service when they started rural
free delivery here and took away the
postottice, but they have not done it
yet. AS it is now we cannot receive
any mail from any place except Shell
ton the same day it is mailed and can
not have daily papers. from any place
the same day they are mailed. By the
old system Huntington people could
have daily papers from Bridgeport,
New Haven and other places in the
afternoon. Now we get them: the
next day about noon. The cause of
this is that the mails do not arrive in
Shelton until 10 O'Clock or there abOutS
and the mail carrier is started on his
route at 9 a. M, making one trip per
day which leaves all the mail in Shell
ton Office until the next day. Also by
the old way we could send and mail in
the morning and get an answer in the
afternoon. AS it is now cannot mail
letters until late in the afternoon.
Most of the people say: Give us back
our postot1ice in preference to this ar
rangement.

that it is not sale of a few leaders
