DEAR THINGS GET HATFIELD.

It seems to be weakness of many women to get ''rattled' to a ridiculous degree whenever they get out of the rut in which they usually run. Elm ployes in dry goods stores see a great deal of this unfortunate trait, especial ly on bargain days, which have ire quently been the subject of humorous newspaper articles. The excitable and addle-headed woman is also in great form when found at an auction. A few days after May l the furniture of a handsome fiat was being sold over on the North Shore and q crowd of bargain hunters, nearly all women, was in attendance. Bidding was a tri- fie slow at first and. the auctioneer with admirable stimulation of surprise asked: Why, ladies, what is the mat ter of these goods? The prices you are offering would not really pay for bring ing the articles from the various stores by express"
 At this a yivacious looking little Wo- man edged quietly to the front and be- gan to bid, raising her own figures more than once. Excuse me, mad am,'' said the auctioneer, at last, "that was your own bid you just raised.'' What was I bidding on any way?' said the little woman These boxes of toothpicks which I hold in my hand said the auctioneer. "Why, I thought it was the napkins" said the muddled bidder.
 T am going to have trouble with that woman," thought the auctioneer, and sure enough, he was right. At the conclusion of the sale the articles she had bought for S22 were as fol- lows: One dozen boxes toothpicks. two dozen butter knives, two cheese spoons, six nut crackers, one dozen finger bowls. five glass pitchers, eight pillows, three egg boilers, two bath towels and one cocktail strainer.
 T came here to buy pepper cruets and teaspoons" said the little woman. and this is what I find on my bill. What do you suppose I want with all these toothpicks? Why. there are enough to last me a lifetime. I want to exchapge some of these things, The autioneer patiently pointed out that what she wanted was impossible, as the articles she sought were now the property of other persons, and the little woman went away in a seni-hys- terical condition.

PEACE TERMS SIGNED
Kitchener Sends Welcome News From South Africa.
GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN LONDON.
Sunday Evening Calm Broken by Singing, Shouting and Horn BIowing-Church Bells Rung
 and Prayers Offered.

LONDON, June 2.-Peace has been declared after nearly two years and eight months of a war which tried the British empire to its uttermost and which wiped out the Boers from the list of nations. The war has come to an end with Lord Kitchener's an- nouncement from Pretoria that he, Lord Milner and the Boer delegates had signed terms of surrender"
 The following message from King Edward to his people has been issued:
 'The king has received the welcome news of the cessation of hostilities in South Africa with infinite satisfaction, and his majesty trusts that peace may speedily be followed by the restoration of prosperity in his new dominions and that the feelings necessarily engen- dered by war will give place to ear nest cooperation on the part of his majesty'S South African subjects i'll promoting the welfare of their com mon country"
 How greatly King Edwards insist ence that peace in South Africa be se- cured prior to his coronation influenced the present agreement will probably never be known until the private me- moirs of the present regime are given to the public.
 The news of peace in South Africa from Lord Kitchener was not expected in London during the day. Soon after the receipt of the dispatch, however, the news spread to the clubs and ho- tels and was received with much en- thusiasm. The church bells were rung to acclaim the good news. A crowd gathered at the mansion house, and the lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale, announced from a bal signed in South Africa
 Lord ISitcheners definite announce ment of peace was received at the war office at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was communicated to King Ed ward and all the members of the cab- inet before it was given out to the public. Last night the Sunday evening calm of the London streets was broken by enthusiastic singing, shouting and horn blowing.
 The hotels, the clubs. the public houses and the streets were not the only places where the people were actively demonstrating their joy. The peace news was announced in the churches, and by some congregations it was received with applause. In all the churches of London prayers of thanksgiving were offered and special hymns were sung.

HEARD m PASSING

The cows in Belgium wear earrings. Every COW, when it attains the age of three months, must wear ? numbered metal tag on it's ear. This is to make systematic government inspection easy.
 The bribery and franchise-g grabbing cases recently laid tp the door of Phil adelphia's municipal council have caused the city's title to be para phrased into the "City of Boodlery Loot.'
 The strict rules against spiritualism in Germany and other parts of the Eu- ropean continent have resulted in the imposition of q fine of $40 on anyone found guilty of attending spiritual istic seance in Bohemia.
 The scarcity of platinum is being more and more felt, the annual output of the metal being less than five tons a year, most of which comes from Rus sia. It. is worth $500 an ounce. For merly it was mistaken for silver and got into Russian coinage so that many of the olf coins are being remelted to recover the platinum.
 Tn the continental countries of Eu- rope typewriting is generally known as Autobiography, which means finger writing. This is a more sensible term than the one used in America, especial ly as there is a chance to distinguish between person and machine In the use of "dactylographer" and "dactylo- graph impossible with our single term typewriter"

In his weekly letter Banker Henry Clews says that the coal strike and the holidays-the latter involving three days suspension of business on the stock eXchange-acted as a decid- ed deterrent upon stock market oper- ations. A confident undertone ap- peared owing to the strong support de- veloped on every recession, but specu- lative activity seemed inclined to wait for more favorable opportunities Much depends on the outcome of the strike If prolonged struggle should result, the effect would be unfayorable to the general market. If, on the other hand, an early cessation of hostilities should happen, the market would be relieved of a weight which bears on other than the coal stocks. One thing is certain, public opinion will not in definitely endure with patience struggle which threatens to temporari- ly deprive them of one of the necessar- lSS Ol ll1S' 1htGlIupllOII OI OuI COdl supply is q menace to various indus tries that will not be quietly accepted, to say nothing of private hardships that may be enforced by a prolonged shutdown. Aside from the strike, the most important influences on the mar ket are the crop situation, the money market and peace prospects in South Africa. Needless to say the crop out look outranks all of these influences, even the strike which is only a pass ing element. Fortunately crop pros poets are favorable. The cold snap delayed agricultural operations some what, but did no serious injury Bene- ficial rains have fallen over large areas, checking drought, so that win ter wheat is in improved condition and early spring wheat is doing well. A large corn acreage seems inevitable, the high prices resulting from last years shortage having greatly stimu- lated planting and driving farmers "corn crazy ill some sections. 4 re- petition of last years deficiency would be simply ruinous and seems beyond possibility.

NEW FRENCH CHAMBER.
Radical President Chosen at th'
 Opening Meeting.


 Opening Meeting.
 PARIS, June 2-The new French chamber of deputies met yesterday aft ernoon for the first time. The house and the galleries were crowded. M. Rauline, Rightist, the oldest member of the chamber of deputies, presided at yesterdays meeting and delivered the inauguration speech, in which he ap- pealed for parliamentary peace. Con- cluding his allusions to the Martinique disaster, M. Rauline said, "In behalf of the chamber of deputies address the homage of our grief and sympathy to the terribly afflicted population of Mar tinique'
 After the inauguration speech the important business of electing the pro- yisional president of the chamber, whose election, however, is invariably ratified, was taken up. Although the president of the chamber is supposed to stand above parties, yesterdays election to fill this post was purely political one. M. Deschanel, the presi- dent of the former chamber, was the presidential candidate yesterday of the Moderate Republicans. He was op- posed by NJ. Leon Bourgeois, who rep resented the radical groups. M. De schanel was defeated by vote of 3O3 to 267, and his fonr years tenure of the presidential year ended.

The announcement of the president

The announcement of the president that he has determined to appoint Senator McLaurin to the vacancy on the bench of the court of claims, says a correspondent. is at the same time the death knell of the lilly white re- publican organization" which the sen ator attempted to foster in South Car olina. Had Senator Hanna, in his capacity as chairman of the republi- can national committee. continued to dictate republican policy in the south this effort of McLaurin's might not have died so soon. The vigorous methods of the president proved dis astrous to the movement.
