LETTERS TO THE KING.
So Many Are Written That the Lon
don Post ONCE Provides Special
Sacks for Them.

Correspondence addressed to the
king or Buckingham palace in con-
nection with the coronation has be-
come so enormous that Sir Francis
Knollys, the kings private secretary
has been obliged to turn on an ad-
ditional staff of clerks to deal with
1t. There is a special room at Buck
ingham palace set apart for the
work and the post Office carries the
correspondence about in bags spe-
cially supplied for the purpose, with
the words Coronation Correspond
ence" printed upon them, says Lon
don exchange.
The nature Of the correspondence
is highly diversified. Peeresses by
the score are sending for copies OF
the regulations, others want the
route of the procession entirely
changed In order to turn an honest
penny by letting their windows, and
In this connection presents in money
and kind to charities favored by the
king are promised if he can be intiu-
enced to alter his mind. Those who
specialized in windows and flats
few weeks ago on the strength OF
fictitious reports about the route OF
the procession are writing letters
that would suggest suicidal tenden-
cies. A number of authors and
minor poets are anxious to dedicate
their works to the king, and OF
course they must write for permits
sion. Patriotic parents are asking II
they may name their next baby Ed
ward or Alexandra, as the occasion
requires. But these are nothing COM
pared with the number of distin-
guished persons who are writing to
the king for personal interviews SO
that they may put before him more
forcibly their claim for seats in
Westminster Abbey. Cuttings from
Debrett, Burke and other works on
the peerage are inclosed to show the
direct lineage of the correspondents
and their claim to his majesty's rec
ignition.

PERHAPS

You have not entirely made
up your mind to insure your
property; there may be some
point about insurance which
you do not understand well
enough to satisfy you about
the reliability of good compa-
MES. 1t may be that you
haven't just now the ready
cash to purchase; or that you
are waiting til tomorrow, neg
lecting this important matter
Of yours.
If for any of these reasons
you are neglecting to protect
your own property, we would
suggest that you consult some
competent insurance agency
for evidences to remove any
doubts or misgivings you may
have.
May we further suggest that
you write or call on this agen-
cy for insurance information.

DICTATES OF FASHION.
Some of the Dainty Accessories Tha
Are Now i'm Vogue with Up
tO-Date DresserS.

Lace is used both on skirt and jack
cts, handsome lace collars trimming
many of the boleros.
Powered ribbons are so exquisite
ly designed that from a distance they
look as if hand embroidered. Bor'
dered ribbons are stylish, especially
those with lowered centers, fol
sashes to go with lowered organizes
says the Chicago Daily News.
Jet ornaments figure prominently
amongmillinery accessories. Irish Gro
Chef lace is little used for hat trim
mings, chantilly in white, black anc
cream taking it's place. For the long
drapery seen on some Spanish tur'
bans in fancy braid a heavy net in
deep cream tint known as empire
lace Is used. Narrow valenciennes
edging decorates some chiffon hats
Some new tulle neck ruches are very
prettily trimmed with ribbons. The
tulle is doubled in a wide band and
double box-plaited very full. The
ribbon Is either white or black satin
carried through the center and tied
in pretty bow with loops and ends
at back and again at either side OF
the front with two long loops.
Ribbons were never more varied in
style, more beautiful in luster, col
oring or quality than they now are.
They have a varied usefulness, being
employed for sashes, belts, dress
trimmings, millinery and fancy ooas
in combination with net and lace.
Many sorts of narrow ribbons are
used for ruches and plain roses. For
sashes they are very soft and rich,
both in plain satin and Ottoman
weaves.
For bows on large hats, particular
ly for children, soft, glossy ribbons
are chosen. Single roses for the hair
and a series of larger ones for
neck ruche are made of soft satin
ribbon in several shades Of one color.
Rosettes for hat trimming and dress
trimming are made of soft louisine
ribbons and all the delicate tints are
used.
Wells are striking. The latest thing
is called the chinchilla dot, which is
A combination of black and white
chenille with foundation Of gray,
white or black mesh, varying from
fine to coarse. Again, they are dotted
with large pale-blue or pink dots,
with a tiny dot Of white. Black wells
will not be worn as much as during the
winter, the light tints being deemed
more suitable for spring and sum-
mer.
Parasols are larger and more
arched. Chine silk predominates, in
plain, MORE, broche and satin striped,
and some designs show floral wreaths
and stripes on white ground. Some
are appliqued with cream lace me-
dallions, the silk cut out. Dresden
silk parasols are perfectly plain, but
have handsome handles. The more
elaborate parasols have ruf1ed shir-
rings Of chiffon.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
Table Decorations and sllverware
That Are Now In Favor mt
Social Functions.

An appropriate and attractive way
of decorating the table for a spring
function is to place medium tall cut
glass or crystal vase in shallow
bowl of cut or baccaret glass. Fill
the bowl with short stemmed bios
SONS such as violets and in the vase
arrange with artistic taste spring
flowers in harmonious coloring, says
the Brooklyn Eagle.
For berries or salad deep bowls Of
cut glass with silver rims are liked
by many and while this style has
nothing novel to recommend it the
silver gray finish of the silvery bor-
der is an innovation.
In contrast to the ornate design In
silver tea and coffee sets that for
long held sway the simplicity of the
colonial patterns now in favor par
ticularly appeals to ones artistic
sense. The squat teapot, sugar bowl,
spoon holder and creamer are grace
full withal, for the lines are simple
and the tall coffee pot follows the
same general plan. The newest and
best spoon holder with handles on
either side is not as tall as the ma
jority of its predecessors and is very
broad at the base. In bright silver
there are some handsome combina-
ton coffee and tea sets and some new
teapots in colonial pattern that are
very effective.
A fern dish with a few growing
plants therein is a pleasing everyday
centerpiece for the dining table. It
is an easy matter to procure one Of
these dishes, for the china and even
silver ferneries are not expensive,
while shallow dishes to be found in
the Japanese shops and departments
are not only cheap but effective. At
small cost these may be filled with
ferns and by the exercise of a little
care will furnish the ever welcome bit
of Giving green" in the dining-room.
sweetbread and Mushroom Patties.
Remove the fat and gristle from
one sweetbread and boil. Let cool
and cut in pieces about half an inch
thick. Wash thoroughly half a pound
of mushrooms and cook in an ounce
of butter and a little lemon juice.
When done add the sweetbreads, a
little white sauce, and little rich
cream to be of the proper consist
ency, with salt and pepper to taste,
and let the mixture cool. Line the
patty pans with rich pHff paste and
fill with the mixture, cover with the
paste and bake for about 20 minutes
in a slow oven. Serve very hot

opinion filed sustains the constitutionality
or the act of last winter under which the
corporation undertook to convert 500, 600

The State Department made public yes
terday an important report from Consul
Monaghan. from Chemnitz. dated Aug. %.
in regard TO the proposed German tariff ON
foodstuffs The consul says that while the
German government itself had in mind a
decided increase in the price Of foodstuffs,
as indicated by its proposed recommended
tions upon the new tariff, the tariff COM
mission which is composed mainly of
Agrarians, has drawn up a schedule of
duties which presents an extreme advance
even over the government recommended
lions. Wheat now pays So cents for every
220 pounds. The governments proposition
| is s1.55, and the tariff commission deter
| mined on 1913. The respective figures for
rye So cents, S1.43 and s1.67. and all
| along the line just as great and greater
| increases are noted.
American manufacturing firms represent
| ed by branch houses and agencies in Eng
| land deprecate the publicity which their en-
ergy and enterprise are constantly receiv-
ing in the press here and in consular re-
ports says a New York Tribune dispatch
| from London They prefer to conduct their
business abroad without observation. and
| especially in England, where the power of
trades unions Is great. Large lines OF
American manufactures are taken up by
| English merchants and put on the market
| without being advertised or known as i'm
| ported goods. No prejudice is excited
against them when they are marketed in
this way. whereas there would be outcries
against them from trades union agitators
| IL a substitution of American for British
| wares were known.
The London Statist discusses at length
the much-mooted subject of the monetary
| conditions in the United States and sug-
| gests as remedy for the money stringency
| that the American law requiring banks In
certain cities to keep a reserve equal to
| % per cent. of their deposits to be amend
| ed so as to permit use of that reserve on
| condition that the banks pay a tax to the
| government of per cent The Statist
| argues that such a provision would reas-
| sure the public and probably put a stop
| to extreme pressures. The paper refers
| to Germany as an example OF the success
] of similar proposition. In that coun-
| try the Imperial Bank is permitted to
| issue notes beyond the amount otherwise
| authorized as long as it pays a duty of :
per cent. on the excess.

Day. of Receiver. Past.

A railroad man and financier says that
hitherto the railroad history of the country
has been largely history of acts of spec
ulators. or. if not of spectators. of scat
ter-brained railroad managers. Freight
rate wars, even downright recklessness, or
the desire of those in temporary control Of
railroad properties to depress their value
so as to obtain permanent control at a
small cost, have played havoc with stocks
and other securities. Now, owing almost
entirely to these huge holdings of stock,
bought strictly for investment by very
small number of wealthy men, the roads
are operated in the interest of their stock
holders. 1t may be sincerely thought by
many wise people that railroad stocks and
securities are going too high, but the con-
centration and absolute ownership of these
securities and the low price level at which
they were acquired, explains why the mar
ket does not break. The securities of the
roads are now held by parties strong finan-
cially. and the belief prevails that the time
will not again come when receivers are ap-
pointed for nearly one-half of the railway
mileage of the country, as was the case
during the depression in business of few
years ago.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
BUSINESS ACTIVE AND PRICES AT A
PROFITABLE RANGE.
Heavy Storage Of Fruits and Vegeta-
Easier Level Of Local Values.

Not in many years have the local mar
kets been more active and prices more
steady In late September. While the range
of prices is high on many articles whlcn
come into daily consumption, there is low
range on fruits and vegetables, prices on
such articles being lower than at the cor
responding period of last year and indica-
tions are that a low average is TO prevail
for some time to come, as the supply is
ample and the storing of cabbage, onions
potatoes and apples is In progress 10
large degree the storage houses already
containing many thousands OF bushels Oh
fruit and vegetables. One South Delaware
street house has $4,000 barrels of apples al
ready in store and another house is re-
ported to have more than that quantity.
Flour still rules steady and is selling at as
low prices as last year at this season. But
coming to the meat and produce markets a
high range of prices is the prominent feat
ure. Never before have eggs, poultry and
butter sold as high at wholesale as at the
present time, and further advances are pre-
dicted. Staple groceries rule firm ana
steady, but sugars and coffees are both
selling lower than one year ago and there
are no indications of higher figures. Coal Is
very firm at the revised quotations OF yes
terday.

THE CLOVER LEAF GUILTY
EVIDENCE THAT THE LINE HAS
BEEN CUTTING THROUGH RATES.
Earnings Continue to Show Gains-No
General and Personal Notes.

In recent article it was limited that the
Peoria & st. Louis and the Lake Erie &
Western were manipulating rates on
through business east and west. 1nvesti-
cation shows that there was not the slight
est grounds for the allegation, but that IL
was the Toledo. St Louis & Western that
was the rate demoralizer. Later develop
ments," says the New York Commercial,
brought out by probing this case to the
bottom proved beyond successful contra
diction that. while not previously suspect
ed, the Clover Leaf is the road that cut the
through rate. In doing so II has simply
again demonstrated It's capacity and sus-
tanned it's reputation for trifiing with rates
when it cannot succeed In getting business
by any other process. The Glover Leaf, II
is fair to the traffic department of that
road TO say, seeks to justify its action
upon the ground that 1t was entirely proper
under the method employed In deviating
from the regular tariff. 1t used what Is
known company rates" In sharing in
the combination making up the total rate.
Other interested lines. however, deny that
there is anything legitimate in any such
| procedure where the freight was not con-
| signed to that road. In fact, 1T Is univer-
sally agreed that 1t Is highly irregular and
| improper for any line to carry the business
consigned to a foreign road over its own
rails at less than full tariff rates. There
fore, the Glover Leaf is guilty Of having
, cut a rate without authority. contrary to
all rules, though perhaps not without pre-
cedent, and has again rendered itself liable
| for a positive violation of the interstate
| law that cannot be very we'll excused. AT
| only road that has not hesitated to resort
| TO deviation from fixed rule both for the
| purpose of getting some particularly good
| haul and at the same time favoring a for
| eign line with the expectation that at some
| future time considerations of reciprocity
| would bring II equal benefit"
