a DUTY OF PARENTS.

A boy Is years old, who had successfully
worked to the head of his class in IIo-
boken grammar school. and who was to
have been the class valedctorian, develop
ed an affection Of the heart, and after the
examination was so exhausted that he to k
to his bed, says Harper's Weekly. lie was
anxious for his diploma. and to please him
in his sickness the school authorities made
it out and gave 1t to his teacher to present
to him; but before the teacher reached his
home he had died. And the reflection is
that this is one Of the tragedies of over
study and testimony to the barbaritv Of
ual case We know nothing; but of such
cases in general 1t is not unjust to say that
they are the tragedies of unreasonable par
entail ambition and testimony to the neg l.
gence and reckessness of fathers and
mothers. 1t is an extraordinary boy who
at 10 years old determines Of himself to
go to the head of his grammar school class
and to be the vaedictorian: and most boys
can be implicitly trusted not to allow such
an ambition to injure their health. Teach
ers and parents and tasks. and even the
system, arc usually futile in their attacks
upon the boys physical system, so far as
study is concerned. SO when a boy who
needs restraint does appear, nothing is
more obvious to a discerning mind than
that the first duty is to restrain him. and
that no parent can honorably shift that
duty to the teacher, or put the blame for
its non-observance upon the course of
study or upon the school system. That so
many boys escape alive and well Is proof
sufficient that a boy need not be killed 10y
his school but il the parent does not make
sure that he is not being killed who will?
That is what parents are for.

CONTINUED PROSPERITY
Advance in Wages In Some Industries
Failures for tho Week.

New York, June 20.--R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
Trade at the Dast is more quiet owing
TO the advanced season and the bad effect
of prolonged labor controversies is being
felt In certain lines. Reports from the in
terror and the Far West are more encour-
aging, bountiful harvests being expected
while the light stocks carried over from
the previous season assure profitable
prices. The best indication of continued
prosperity is the fact that quotations do
not recede even in the lines where at pres
ent there Is only a moderate degree of ac-
tivity There is no evidence OF yielding on
oithr side in the coal strike and as the
convention Of soft coal miners has been
called for July II, the sympathetic strike
cannot become a factor for some weeks,
even II 1t Is decided upon. In some in
dustries the week has brought advances
Of wages and evidences OF better feeling.
l-ncertainty regarding their ability to Sc
cure pig iron at reasonable prices is MAX
ing producers of steel cautious in accept
ing contracts that call for delivery at
even remote dates. Soft coal is beginning
to show the effect Of an abnormal demand.
Quiet conditions prevail in Eastern dry
goods and foot wear markets. Distributor
Of textiles from second hands is only of
average volume and it Ia evident that job
hrrs' supplies require only moderate replen-
ishing. Buyers of cotton goods take only
for immediate consumption indicating faith
in cheaper raw material with the new sell
son and consequent reductions in products
Supplemental buying of wooens Is also lin
tied in part owing to the tardy delivery of
sample pieces 1t Is noteworthy that prices
in all textile lines are firmly held despite
the slow movement indicating confidence
ON the part Of sellers Leather is dun and
foreign dry hides weaker

KING ALBERT DEAD
Ruler eff Saxony Was Last OF Famous
German Generals.

Dresden, Saxony, June liking Albert
of SaXony died at sos p. m to-day at the
Castle of Sbyllenort.
King Albert of Saxony was the last OF
the generals who commanded the German
army of 1870. AS his majesty grew Older
he shared in the idealization which i'll
nuenced the group of great statesmen
which surrounded William l. His sober
life produced few incidents and his UNI
ohtruSiVe support of his own church, the
Roman Catholic, never caused a con-
fict with popular opinion. The vast ma
Jority of inhabitants of SaXony are
ProtcstantS.
Emperor William always referred to
King Albert as fatherly friend 1t l.
understood that the Emperor will at once
suspend his tour of the Rhine and return
to Berlin to take part in the funeral OF
the dead King.
The death Of King Albert will certainly
limit the regatta festivities at Kiel the
latter part of this month. when it was
purposed to hold a series of banquets. 1t
is now not regarded probable that En-
peror William will attend the Kicl regatta.

New York. June 2o-Bradstreets will say
tomorrow:
The conditions governing present and fu-
lure trade show very sharp contrasts.
While the Immediately present situation is
oloudcd by the rather less favorable IN
uustrial outlook and the prospect OF an
extension of the coal strike in the btu
minous fields, the continued favorable pro-
gress made by all the leading crops gives
assurance that once the present strained
condition of industrial affairs is relieved
n large and prosperous fall and winter
ousnes is assured That in spite of disturb
auces, past and present. heavy business
$ going forward is proved by the continued
tine reports of railroad earnings for tins
season of the year, very heavy bank clear
inrs and the comparatively small number
of business embarrassments reported.
With tho exception of too much moisture
In the Southwest interfering with the hat
Ncsting and condition of wheat, and con-
tinued dryness in Texas spelling corn and
impairing cotton conditions, the agricul-
tural outlook is practically without flaws.
The supply of Anthracite coal is slowly
ebbing and the use of soft coal is grow
ing despite city ordinances.
Prices of farm products show the lntu-
,nce of improving crop conditions Refined
sugar is lower after the heavy buying Of
.hc past month. Country produce is lower,
outatoes particularly so, on larger receipts.
rho strength in manufactured materials is
notable, though print cloths are said to be
Eeall in sympathy with the decline in raw
cotton.
The scarcity Of pig iron is causing no.
.c,ahle stinening in prices. Structural ma
tcria and bar iron are strong. but wire and
,heets are dragging and some tin plate mills
will shut down shortly.
At the East the coal strike influenced
business at baltimore. Philadelphia and
Now York unfavorably. Buffalo notes an
