HEAVY HOLIDAY TRADE.
Dun's Roview of Trade shows No
Clouds In the Commercial Sky.

New York, Nov. 15.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Lower prices for railway stocks
than at any time since last March do
not necessarily indicate loss OF traf-
tic nor setback in business. On the
contrary, coincident with the col
lapse of the stock market, there were
numerous evidence that manufac-
turing and Transporting interests
have not sufficient facilities to meet
demands, although as to plants and
equipment they are of greater eff
cheney than at any previous time.
Preparations are being made for
heavy holiday trade and frequent
complaints of tardy deliveries testify
to the heavy consumption. Prospects
for continued activity are bright be-
cause of unprecedented harvests,
prosperity in tGe agricultural see
tions assuring a good demand for
other products. Threatened labor
controversies have been averted, in
some eases wages being advanced,
while a number of increases were vol
UNFAIRLY given. Railway earnings con-
tinue to advance. High temperature
retards retail trade in seasonable
goods.

point few feet below the bridge.
A moose was fitted about the body
of John Marshall, a reservation en-
ploye, and he was lowered into the
rushing waters. He succeeded in
reaching the woman's side and placed
n rope about her waist. The two
were then slowly hauled to the stone
abutment of the bridge. \ ladder
was lowered and the woman was

posture, but the hospital physicians
say she will recover. Domestic trou-
bles caused the woman To seek death.

deemed necessary to protect the
stream from possible pollution. The

STRANGE STORY.
Aztec Treasures Reported TO Have
Been Found In Mexico.

Hermosillo, Mex, Nov. ia re-
markable story, duly authenticated,
of the discovery of the hidden Aztec
treasures has just been reported to
the government authorities at Tepec
by Rev. Pablo MARITIME, the parish
priest of Yesca. The priest makes a
statement, which is concurred in by
several reliable witnesses, that a
party of Anne ericans, headed by an
archaeological expert, who gave the
name of Hevervick, arrived at Yesca
several weeks ago and went from
that place into the mountains accom-
panied by three Mexican guides.
The archaeologist obtained his
bearings by means of chart which
he claimed to have copied from an
Aztec stone tablet in the national
museum in the City of Mexico. He
located a vast cavern in mountain
near YeSca.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Gen. Bliss VIII be Sent to Cuba 80
Enlighten the Islanders as TO Uncle
Sans Intentions,

Washington, Nov. 13.-An important
conference bearing on the subject of
the Cuban reciprocity treaty was held
at the war department yesterday, the
participants being Secretary Hay,
Secretary Root and Gen. Tasker
Bliss.
President Palma makes the point
that conditions have changed in Cuba
so that whereas the 20 per cent. re-
bate might have served when it was
first proposed, it would at present af-
ford so little relief as not to warrant
the sacrifice of Cuban revenues that
would be involved in it's acceptance.
Secretary Hay has determined to
clear up that point and it was de-
cided that Gen. Bliss should be sent
at once to Cuba to make personal
investigation of the Industrial situa-
tion and the fiscal possibilities of the
island.
The principal mission of Gen. Bliss
will be to clear up in the minds of
the Cubans some apprehensions which
they have regarding the effect OIL con-
cessions offered by the United States
and the various concessions which
the United States demands from
Cuba. 1t seems apparent that the
situation is not understood in Cuba
and the negotiation halts on that ac-
count. There is no disposition to Of
fer a greater concession to Cuba than
30 per cent, which will include all
products of the islands, while the
concessions demanded vary from 10
to 20 per cent.

ton the work must be first-class
Niolets and maidenhair ferns, holly,

for these frames.
Handkerchief and necktie cases can
be made with little expenditure of
time or money, and come in handy
if one is not flooded with them. For

For Lace WORKERS.
This is essentially lace period,
every girl and woman must have some
lace embellishment about her cos
tune or else look hopelessly nm
adorned. Much of the lace work is
elaborate and requires considerable
skill and experience, but there are
some simple designs offered for those
that like that sort. The lace tie
ends are quite simple and at the
same time effective.
More elaborate affairs are the large
collars of Arabian lace. These can
also be made of Battenburg, and at
less cost. In many of the designs
none of the stitches are especially
difficult, although at first glance the
whole looks rather complex.
Other articles that can be made by
the lace workers are centerpieces,
lace caps for baby, kerchiefs, wings
suitable for either hat or hair orna-
ments, collars with cuffs to match,
vests, bolero jackets, turnover col
lars, lace yokes, lace scarfs, and
doileys. The turnover collars make
very acceptable presents, cost trihe,

COAL COM MISSION.
1t Begins It's Hearings in the
Strike Case at Scranton.
President John Mitchell Is tho First
Witness Lawyers Attend
\ the Opening Session, 24 of
Them Loo king After Mine
Owners Interests.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 15.-The anthra-
cite coal strike commission appointed
by President Roosevelt to arbitrate
the difference existing between the
mine workers in the hard coal fields
of Pennsylvania and their employers,
yesterday began the hearing of testi-
mony by which it will determine
whether or not the workmen are re-
ceiving fair and just wages for their
labor and whether their conditions
could not be improved. The star wit
ness for the miners-President John
Mitchell-took the stand in the fore
noon, and when the committee ad-
journed in the afternoon he was still
under cross examination by David w.
Wilcox, general counsel of the Della
ware & Hudson Co. 1t was trying
day for the miners leader, but he
seemed to stand the test wen. The
heaviest fire of cross questions was
aimed at him late in the afternoon
session and when the hour of ad-
journment was reached Mr.. Wilcox
was still propounding questions and
testing Mr.. Mitchell's memory.
The opening of the sessions was a
notable one in the annals of the an
thracite region. Such an array of
lawyers has never been seen in this
part of the state and it is doubtful
whether attorneys have ever been so
numerous on one side of case in this
state as were present in the interests
of the coal companies yesterday.
The commissioners sessions are
being held in the beautiful room of
the Pennsylvania superior court,
which is now sitting in Philadelphia.
Ranged around three tables in front
of the seven commissioners who occu-
pied the Judges bench, were no less
than 30 lawyers, "a of whom were
looking after the interests of the
mine owners.
The attitude of the commissioners
was closely followed by every one in
the court room. They appeared to
be greatly Interested in the cross eN-
animation of Mr.. Mitchell. Judge
Gray, as chairman of the commission,
being versed in court procedure and
in the law, was the only spokesman
for the commission. The chairman
asked Mr.. Mitchell whether his organ
ization approved the act of withdraw
ing from or denying the necessaries
of life to those who had offended the
organization and he replied: Il should
say emphatically, no."
During the day Mr.. Wilcox asked
Mr.. Mitchell many questions as tn
the policies of the union, the method
of calling the strikes. the ability of
the union to maintain discipline and
prevent the members of the union
from violating the law and also as to
the liability of the union breaking
contracts.
During the hearing the statement
was brought out for -the first time
since the late strike was inaugurated
that the union had disbursed Sl,5OO,-
600 among the union and nun-uniou
mon who Merc ON strike.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 13.-The presi-
dents train reached here last night
over the Louisville & Nashville, and
although stop of only ten minutes
was made, the president was accorded
hearty welcome. Upon his arrival
he was greeted by a detachment of
Spanish-American war veterans; a re-
ception committee composed OF city
officials, the directors of the board
of trade and the Commercial club and
a large number of citizens. On ac-
count of the short stop, the president
did not make an extended speech, but
expressed his thanks for the enthusi-
astic greeting accorded him.
The presidents trip across Ohio
was uneventful. Despite the fact that
the itinerary had not been published
in advance, crowds were waiting at
almost all the stations and there were
plenty of cheers as the train swept
by. At Trinway, a small place west
of Dennison, the school children lined
up on either side of large American
flags and waved their handkerchiefs.
The president stepped on the rear
platform and waved his hat in re-
sponse to the demonstration of the
little ones. At other places he showed
himself and at Dennison he made a
few remarks to the crowd.

LARCENY CHARGED.
May Yohe Enters Formal Complaint
Against Putnam Brad
lee Strong.

New York, July ga formal COM
plant of grand larceny has been made
against former Capt. Bradlee Strong
by May Yohe, who visited police head
quarters accompanied by her mother
and her lawyer, and there charged
Strc~g, who recently disappeared
from his home at Hastings, with the
theft of jewels which she values at
S25O,O0O. Her complaint was enter
tanned and general alarm was sent
, out for the arrest of Strong. Miss
Yohe's counsel said that the safe in the
Knickerbocker Safe Deposit company,
where Miss Yohe had kept her jewels,
was opened Monday, and it was found
that her jewels, valued at $3.50 900, had
been removed, nothing of value being
left in the safe except few trifiing
trinkets. He also explained that pawn
tickets calling for 100000 worth of
the missing gems had been recovered.
Miss Yohe offers $1,000 reward for
Strong's arrest. 1t is said that the
Strong family was willing to redeem
all of the jewelry pawned by Strong,
and represented by the tickets sent by
Strong to his mother last week. This
would cost them about $4,000. But
they are not willing to assume the re-
sponsibility for all of the jewels which
Miss Yohe now says were in the safe
deposit box.
