stilled seamstress and toiling artisan there are few who cannot find further or nearer from the metropolis some fresh and open spot where they may replace the evil atmosphere of the office or the factory.

business demands from one end of the industrial line to the other, and thus by degrees, with the cessation of business activity, with many men having re- duced incomes and quite a number of men finding it difficult to make any in come at all, we have that business de- pression so we'll known to those who have heeq in active life during the last 20 or 30 years.
 Times are different now. In the his tory of the world it has never been the experience of a business community to have such enormous aggregations of wealth centred in a few hands as are now centred in the control of hardly more than a score of American capital lsts. It is possible for these men, by their concerted action, to produce a panic whenever they please it would also seem to be possible for them to put a tolerably effective check on most panics. It may be that, in saying this, we are overestimating what they are capable of doing, and are not suffi- eiently taking into account that they may neither act together nor act wise "; but certain it Is that their presence as members of our business community gives to the future decidedly different conditions from those which obtained in the past-Boston Herald

While the decrease was :n force MT. Toocker was retired on a pen- sion at half pay. Since the reduction to ST 100 per year was only temporary, it was thought that his pension should be at one-half the rate of S1. 200 per year. the regular salary of the position, and the action of the trustees last evening places it at that figure.
 After the trustees meeting was ad- journed the fire commissioners held a meeting and received the resignation of

Nervous Diseases That are Due to
 Stress of City Life.
 To point to the hurry and stress of | modern town life as the cause of half the ills to which flesh to-day is heir has | become almost a commonplace in aetio- 1 logical diagnosis. The old-fashioned complaints might almost excite medi- cal mans pity so much do they seem to be crowded out by those active wide spread young fellows, neuritis, neuras- thenia and whole young family of nervous illnesses. the offspring of the strained existence of to-day.
 chain is as strong as it's weakest link and to-day it appears that the ner- vous system is the weak link of the or ganism. The weakness is not natural. It is acquired because the strain upon this link is so often almost constant and out of proportion to the wearing power of the material Whether as generations advance individual nervous systems will more easily bear the la hors asked from them or not at any rate, it may fairly be assumed that in the early days of any new style of life the generations born under an old re- gime have the worst of it. Their chill dren cope more easily with the new ne- cessities. They are earlier confronted with them and new arrangements which perplexed and worried their pa- rents become habits easily borne and therefore not to be reckoned among the trying clements of existence
 Thus we may imagine future genera tions perfectly calm among a hundred telephones and sleeping sweetly though airships whiZ among countless electri- cal wires over their heads and a per- petual night traffic of motor cars hus- ties past their bedroom windows. As yet, it must be sorroWfully confessed, our nervous systems are not so callous. Some of us still start at the telephone ring and find the irregularities of the instrument a source of irritation and worry. Many of us are actually ner- vous at the sudden appearance of a mo- tor car round the wrong side of a Lon don street corner The result of count less repetitions of these trials, small though they may be singly, is not to be lightly estimated.
 Fortunately, the very causes of nerve exhaustion, so far as improved rapidity of locomotion may be counted one of them, provide one important counter acting feature of town life at the pres ent day.

RIrSINEss CONDITIONS.

| For the last two or three weeks 1 there has been a feeling of apprehen- | sion in financial circles, which to some extent has extended itself into the va rious departments of trade that busi- ness conditions in the immediate future
 are not likely to be as favorable as
 they have been during the past three years. We have had phenomenal ex- perience; we have had, in the main, large crops of agricultural products of
 all kinds when the world at large has needed these: we have, through the
 processes of consolidation and the elim- ination of waste and expense, been able to produce manufactured wares at very low prices and in this way compel the worlds trade; our factories have been run with a regularity which implies
 constant earnings and healthful trade conditions; our railroads have had greated demand put upon their trans portation facilities than they had ever
 before been called upon to meet, anS
 the result of all has been large earn
 ngs, good dividends, with a market value given to financial, railroad and industrial securities higher on the aver
 age than these or their predecessors had ever before attained.
 The question that everybody asks is, How long can these conditions con- tinue? There Is, of course, no possi- bility of a continuous rise. The history of the past is filled with illustrations of speculative advances based upon more or less uncertain bases, which after a time worked themselves out and were followed by either sudden or grad ual reactions. On general principles, it may be said that the more intense the advance the more intense the decline but when the summit has been reached, whether in 1S47. 1854. 1884. 1872 or

FIGHTING GOES ON IN CHICAGO
Score of Policemen and Rioters Mn
 iured-Two May Die.

Chicago, June 5. - Chicago's police were given a strenuous life to-day by the striking packing house teamsters, From daylight this morning until long after dark tonight the blue coats were kept busy dispensing trouble makers, who congregated along the streets and in every conceivable manner placed ob- stacles in the way of the meat dealers who endeavored to move their supply wagons with non-union drivers. In spite of the striking teamsters and their friends thirty-three wagon loads of meat were delivered from the stock yards to the down town stations. Be- fore the task was accomplished, how eyer score of policemen and rioters had been injured and fully fifty persons had been placed under arrest. Several of the injured were in such condition that they were taken to hospitals. Two of the injured may die.
 When the procession of wagons left the packing district they were guarded by heavy detail of police. As soon as the wagons emerged at the entrance of the yards fully 800 enraged strike sympathizers made a rush to overturn the conveyances.
 The policemen drew clubs, and after a hard struggle succeeded in scattering the mob. A fresh start was made, but before the wagons reached the down town district the mob augmented by hundreds of sympathizers made another attack Tn the fight that followed re- yolvers were drawn. No person was shot, the police instead using their clubs indiscriminately and a dozen or more people were hurt before the march could be resumed. When the central portion of the city was reached clashes between the police and the crowd be- came numerous. Street car traffic was an impossibility and it was necessary for several squads of police to charge the crowds with batons before the wag- ons had reached the various down town houses.
 To add to the burdens of the police department 1900 drivers and their helpers employed by the State street general merchandise department stores went on strike to-day. An attempt was made to deliver department store" goods in the down town district this afternoon with non-union drivers with police protection, but so much disorder developed that the attempt proved fu- tile. Before the project was abandon ed several rioters were hurt and many arrests had been made.
