The row Of brick buildings on Front
street which have been entrusted to the
care Of Attorney Henry Strunz as agent,
are putting on some ''agony" this week
In new coat Of paint. MIR. Strunz has
set an example to Palatka business
property owners which we trust will be
quite generally emulated. Palatka has
reason to feel pride In its business
blocks. They have cost lots Of money,
and one of the best ways to keep them
in a condition Of being worth all they
cost Is to dress them up in fresh paint
whenever they begin to look seedy.

work Of raising this fund is in the
hands of an association composed of
lifelong friends of the dead presi-

speaking of Woman's clubs" sid a
lady to the News the other day, ere
minds me that no other town of its size
in the world has so many women's clubs
as Topeka, Kansas. At meeting of the
Federation of Woman's clubs at Seneca
not long since one of the speakers told
an anecdote to illustrate how club life
permeates everything in the Kansas
capital. The anecdote is as follows:
Three little Topeka boys were talk
ing about the times and places of their
birth. L was born on Tyler street, "
said one boy, and know where the
house is, too" The next little fellow
said: 4 know where was born, too. 1t
was down here on the avenue, and can
take you right to the place." The third
boy hesitated moment and then said 4:
4 don't know where 1 was born. But I
know there want anybody at home but
grandpa and me cause mother was at
the club

and dance at the Armory Friday night.
The object of the entertainment is to

BY Way of Entertainment.

The Woman's FOrtnightly club has
in store for the people of Palatka
what promises much in the way of
entertainment. The coming event
which the News is authorized to an
nounce for the Armory on the night
of Monday the 9th inst. will be a
combination musical and literary af-
fair, with refreshments and dancing.
The entertainment is being arranged
as a benefit to the Public Library to
keep which in it's present state of
excellence and usefulness requires
money and great deal more money
than its legitimate revenues will sup
ply.
The program for the forthcoming
entertainment has not been fully
made up, but enough of musical and
literary talent has been promised to
guarantee that it will be a pro-
nounced success. Miss Brooks of
Boston has promised u violin solo,
and Miss Isabelle Jones will recite
and give an exhibition drill with Is
little children between the ages of 5
and II years. There will be a piano
solo by Mrs. HI. S.. Wilson, and some
Ole WIZ hlOWs HOW W no Gne UflCh
right will preside at a pianola. Then
there will be vocal music by well
known local artists; then something
good in the way eating; then a chance
to shake it all down with a little
dancing to good music.
There is plenty of talent for enter
tainments of this sort in Palatka,
and pride in this fact should be sutf1-
cient to crowd the hall at the coming
musicale. Let all give the ladies a
lift in this most worthy enterprise.

|. special Service for Mem.

Rev. Douglass Matthews, rector of
st. Marks Episcopal church, an
nounces a special service for men at
the church next Sunday evening at
7:45. Mr.. Matthews says that he has
been privileged to work in this city
for the past year and that there are
many things he has been anxious to
say to men which he humbly believes
would be worth their while to hear,
but that such is the irony of circum-
stances that those men he is most
eager to address are seldom found in
the pews on Sunday. For this rea-
son he wishes thus publicly to re-
quest their presence at this service.

November on record at the East affected fuel equilibrium.
 The course of commodity prices is shown by Dun's Index Number which was $100, AZ on December 1 against $99. 75o or November l, and $101,S7S on December l 1901. Higher prices for dairy and garden products account for the rise during November but 1t is particularly gratify, ing to the consumer that the present level is nearly one per cent lower than at the corresponding date last year. This charge is also in food stuffs. where the cost oi living was abnormally expanded by short crops in 1901.
 Cotton mills have light stocks and the demand. although quiet. is sufficient. to prevent accumulation of goods in first hands.
 Export trade in heavy brown cotton is unsatisfactory. Recorder demands for light weight woolens is limited and there Is much conservatism in placing spring business because of the slowness With which reasonable goods are moving. Ow- ing to heavy initial orders, however, mills are busy. A further advance in raw wool gives a better value to the finished product, but selling prices are without alteration. New orders for spring shoes are still coming forward.
 Irregularity is reported in the iron and steel market. most departments having much business. while a few are seeking new orders and seem disposed to make slight concessions
 Sta ability is most conspicuous In those divisions where 1t has been possible to prevent imitation, while in cases Of ex- irene pressure and high premiums Tor early delivery, the imports that have been attracted hither have demoralizing ln- fiuence. In view of the scarcity of coke 1t is not easy for domestic producers to meet this foreign competition, ana When any material reduction Is made 1t may De found that foreign concerns will also cut prices. Thus far, however, only sllgnt tendency is noted in the direction oi chea her iron and in such products as steel rails and structural material, the con sumner cannot hope for early concessions ms There is no prospect of dullness in the near future. The only disturbing feature in this industry continues to be the in Tn. adequate supply of fuel, and even the m most sanguine do not anticipate return of normal conditions before spring.
 Statistics of failures during Noyem9,e' Itn,s disclose no weakness in the lndustrla .tTnctnre. On the contrary. there il avery evidence of strength.

IS AIMED AT AMERICA
RESOLUTION WHICH MAY LEAD
 TO TARIFF WAR.
A Section of the German Reichstag Seems Bent on Commercial Trouble With the
 United States.

Berlin, Dec. 5.-The reason the govern
 ment came to the terms with the ma Jority parties in the Reichstag on the tariff. bill was because it learned Rus
 sia was going to denounce the commercial treaty before the years end, hence the
 necessity for getting the tariff bill pass
 ed as quickly 'as possible, in order to treaty. The government also was ex- tremely anxious to get the treaty rati- fled by the present Reichstag and remove the tariff and treaty questions from the realm of practical politics before the gen. eral election of June. In order to do so more effectively indications point to the governments intention to bring up some military question, like the appropriation for the improvement of the artillery on which the election fight will be made.

Trenton Telegram to New York Herald.
 Unless women will consent to leave a larger share for men to do in the office. the store and the factory, the future of the home is imperiled and the family cir cle is threatened with forces that tend toward disintegration and decay" declar- ed the Rev. Henry Collin Minton, D. D.. moderator of the last General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in a Thanks giving day utterance today. pr. Minton is now pastor of the old First Presbyterian Church here. and his congregation is one of the most fashionable in New Jersey.
 'The young women of today" continu- ed Dr. Minton, "are filling a hundred places our grandmothers never dreamed of filling. Every one of them is robbing a home of wife and mother, a house hold of a mistress or a maid. The unmar- ried are in danger of becoming timid in the face of the practical difficulties of home making, while the married are fiocking for refuge to the cruel tender mercies of hotels and apartment houses"
