WHY THE WIDOW CHARMS.
Is Compnnionable for the Men and Con
suits Their Tastes.
CColonel Kate" in the Boston Sunday

Wherein lies the secret? the maiden fair
Will ask. The men will answer perhaps
eXpressvely and slangily: In the fact
that she knows a thing or two" Wo-
men will say: She is so Designing"
But the widow lives on, and charms
and is invincible, for men bow to her
charm and women speculate on it.
or course she has "a dead past" which
makes her interesting, and the tender lit
tie sigh she breathes over the memory of
the dear departed excites the sympathy
of her admirers. Though she may be as
stately as Juno herself. yet the masculine
mind and heart calls her in affection
poor little woman" and she wins her
way without even the bugle call to bat
tie. Her conquest, though boodless is
still a conquest, and her victims--well!
she never counts them.
Tho maiden fair In the glorious zenith
of her youth and beauty finds herself
outclassed by the matronly looking wild
ow inclining to embonpoint, and Won
ders why. She sees the widow take from
under her very nose the man whom she
has hoped to fascinate, She sees her
self torsaken almost at times. while the
widow sits surrounded by u coterie of
devotees.
And again the maiden wonders why
II any fault unfathomed by her occasions
the desertion? She is all at sea through
the mysetry OF It.
The girl who has grown up with a
houseful of brothers has perhaps a sus-
picion Of a widows manner but the girl
who has been immured throughout a sort
of glass-case childhood from contact with
the world, grows up In ignorance of world
ly wisdom.
The widow Is, par excellence. compan-
ionable, She has been the constant asso-
cate of her former husband, and through
this association has learned to cater to
mans whims. Connubial companion
ship exerts a subtle yet potential innu-
cnce over a womans character. She i'm
bibes strength of thought and force OF
action that round out her character. The
girl who shrank with morbid fear from
every rude contact becomes self-reliant
after year or two of married life.
The woman who has loved and respect
cd her husband bears the impress OF this
association. She has learned to think as
he thinks, she has learned TO cater to his
whins and his appetite, she has enjoyed
his fads and fancies, and has entered into
the spirit of his schemes for bushes and
pleasure.
Unconsciously to herself she has par
taken OF his nature, and 1t is this touch

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
COOLER WEATHER CAUSES A GOOD
s7URT OF ACTIVITY.
Prices Steady Except in Produce and
Markets Quiet-Easier Prices.

The cooler weather yesterday gave more
life TO trade, and in several lines a good
business was transacted, the dry goods
houses, the milliners and boot and shoe
merchants having quite a squirt of actiV-
ity. Not much trade is expected during
August, but conditions favor a big fall
business in these lines, and, with the con-
fectioners. wholesale grocers are having a
good trade, staple groceries railing so
steady in price that retail merchants make
nothing by giving hand-to-mouth orders.
and in consequence they buy literally. On
Commission row business was quite salts
factory, but prices on many lines of fruit
and vegetables are ruling easier, and in
the afternoon concessions are made to in
duce sales. Seldom is the market better
supplied with fruits and vegetables of the
season than at present, and there is no oc-
casion to complain of prices. The produce
market rules much the same as on Mon
day. Butter is easy in tone, and prices are
declining. Poultry and eggs are in good
request. with prices firm. Cheese also is
firm in tone, and all products are moving
freely Leather and hides rule the same
as TO prices. Druggists report trade good
and oils and paints fast movers, with
prices again steady.

The Girls Industrial school.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The criticism by the Woman's Council of
some features of the management of the
Reform School for Girls again calls atten
ton TO a great wrong perpetrated against
one Of the noblest charities of Indianapolis
The Girls Industrial School of INDIANAPOLIS
is more than twelve years old: it is incor-
porated under that name; ii has an enroll
ment of more than a hundred officers and
teachers. more than half of whom meet
every Saturday afternoon during term time
to give instruction in industrial arts TO
poor children only, and all without one
cents pecuniary compensation. Some of
these teachers and officers have not missed
a day in the twelve years There is an
enrolment of 997 pupils. more than half of
whom attend every week. The school has
an unsurpassed record for usefulness in the
rescuing of hundreds of poor girls from
slum life 10 lives of usefulness In stores

Rates Reduced to Meet a Cut.

At a general meeting of Western traffic
officials in Chicago yesterday ii was de-
cided the cut in rates made by the Great
Western on packing house products and
dressed meats must be met. kilograms
were accordingly sent by each of the Off
Gals notifying the Interstate-commerce
Commission of the new tariffs which go
into effect on Friday. No action has been
taken by the Santa Fe and no expression
given. 1t was also agreed that no reduc-
ton would be made In live stock rates anG
there would be no reduction in the rates
from Omaha. This decision will imm ediate-
~ precipitate an investigation by the COM
mission. whose ruling is TO the effect that
the raw material shall not take a higher
rate than the manufactured article. Rail-
road officials will take the position before
the commission that the cut rates were
forced upon them they are not compelled
in equity to disturb the live stock rates.
and the same argument will be used with
reference to their failure 10 place Omaha
on a parity with Kansas City. BY long
standing custom all Missouri river points
have taken the same rate, and the Omaha
packers will probably appeal TO the COM
mission upon the ground that the Kansas
City rates are discriminating. The rail-
roads find that they are in an exceedingly
peculiar position and the packers are jubi
liant over their success in breaking the
rates.
