Charged With an Infraction of the Clubs Rules-Ryan Says He Knows Absolutely Nothing About the fRinpino'' Casps RefaTred +o


 New York, Oct 1O.-John J. Ryan, formerly of St Louis, known as heavy operator on the turf, has been summoned to appear before the stew ards of the Jockey club to be ques- tioned, it is said, regarding his stand ing in view of the fact that he was ruled off by the officials of the Fort Erie Jockey club for an alleged in fraction of the turf regulations, i've years ago. Ryan was on hand at the appointed hour, but a quorum of the stewards was lacking and the matter was postponed.
 Ryan had been out of the city for several days and was notified to ap- pear when he returned to the betting ring. He is said to have an interest ln three books now operating at Morris park.
 Ryan declares he knows absolutely nothing about the ringing case in connection with which he was ruled off at Fort Erie, and that he refused at that time to go beyond Ruffalo to defend himself. For that reason, ne says action was taken against him. He is quoted as saying he will not submit quietly to any measures par ring him from the betting ring be- cause the Jockey club stands commit ted to the attitude of ignorance that betting on the races exists.

.LATHROP CASE ONCE MORE
Rumor That There Will Be a
 Money Settlement
All Talk of Divorce Proceedings and Alimony Wdll Then Be Dropped-The Trouble at Present Is to Fix the Amount Satisfactory to Both Par ties.

The latest development in the case of Mrs E. U Lathrop against her nus band is proposal for settlement IL appears to have been under consMera- ton for some time and was most care fully guarded, as have been all the pro- ceedings in this case.
 The proposition came from Mrs Jathrop, whom it will be remembered brought suit some time ago against her husiband for aIimony and support. claiming to have been abandoned by hin. The next development was the removal of the household goods, part by Mrs Lathrop, part by MT Lathrop. It was said at the time that Mrs La- tihrop was unw fttingly removing some of 0her husbands most cherished house hold gods and that he immediately went to their rescue, Only a few paid amy atbemtion to that report. It turmed out that she was merely vacat- ing the premises in a hurry, as they had been leassed by Attorney Carmody, who at that time was returning from his wedding tolT.
 Then came news of Mrs Lathrop's {; illness in Norfolk. where she was wis 2 iting friends, and finally the proposi tion of a settlement.
 The terms of the proposal were that Mir Lathrop should pay over to hds wife S25, GOO cash. or llis bond for that amount INhe proposition was reject ed; barely listened ito, to know what it might contafn. Them the proposal dwiniled to $10,00O. at which figure it now stands, and is under comsfdera- tion by MT Lathrop and his attorney. If the offer is accepted, it dfsposes of all suits pending and all further claims upon Mir Lathrop by his wife. All she may retain belonging to him Is his name, otherwise the settlement parts them as efectual1y as any di- vorce decree
 It was reported a few days ago that Mrs Iathrop contemplated entering suit for divorce Whatever truth there may have been in the renort then, fhere is nome now. It may have been that Mrs Lathrop became ir,rihat- ed aI ui1e obstinacy of her husband in nor preferring a settlement of the case and that she said sine would fyother no more with 1t but bring suit for divorce anu al1mony. Mir Lathrop is repor-ted DO nave repeatedly said that his w.ife could have a divorce any time she de- slreS but alimony she shall h, ve fn fight for

TRADE CONDITIONS.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Report For the Week.

R. c. Dun & Co.'s Report For the Week.
 NEW YORK, Oct 10.-R, G. Dun & Co s review of trade says:
 There have been no developments of As rule there is more caution in mak ing contracts, especially among manu- facturers. Uneasiness regarding the financial situation recedes as the sea- son advances without producing any monetary pressure in connection with crop moving. The proposed reduction in pig iron output has been indorsed by all leading producers, steadying prices just when changes in freight rates started another reduction. Other man. ufacturing news is favorable, except where the raw material markets are unsettled or labor struggles cause trou- ble. Suspension of an iron plant was attributed to the latter cause, and the movement of cotton at New Orleans also suffered because of strike. Trade locally is quiet, preparations for cleo ton, together with unreasonable wealth CT, having an adverse effect.
 Coffee reacted from the best price, but holds fairly firm on the strength of gloomy cables from Brazil, although stocks are very large.
 A generally lower level of quotations for the leading farm staples was most encouraging, It indicated that sup plies were coming freely to market and testified to the growing confidence in ample crops.
 Failures this week numbered 239 in the United States against 245 last year, and IT in Canada compared with 21 "a year ago.

The Master Barbers Said to Be Up in
 Arms.

Arms
 Rumor has it to-day that the great est harmony does not exist among the members of the Master Barbers un- ion, or association, as it is termed. Dissatisfaction exists among some of the members. It is claimed that we'll known barber, who conducts a shop near the center, goes to local club every Sunday morning and shave any member who wants to get shave. This is in direcf violation of the laws of the Master Barbers' asso- ciation. A member of the association said today! Anybody who wants 9 shave can come around to my shop any Sunday morning in the future and will See that he gets one. If one of the most prominent local barbers can go to a prominent club every Sunday morning and shave the members, don't See why I can't do business on Sundays"

MODERATE DRINKING.
It's Dangers Tersely Described by n
Well Known Woman Physician.

It's Dangers Terse1y Described by a
Well Known Woman Physician.
In a medical experience which has
extended over more than half a CEN
tury, says Cordelia A. Greene, Nj. d.,
in the Union Signal, l have never
known one instance where harm has
come to man or woman as a conse-
uuence of total abstinence from alco-
holics. have known the diseased, un-
natural desire for alcoholics fixed for
life upon the brain in many cases or
noble men and beautiful women by the
very moderate extended use of the
purest wines, whisky, brandies and
ales.
I have never known an instance
where after few months even of the
moderate use of the purest alcoholics
the nervous system and the tissues of
the body did not become less healthful
and deteriorated in quality of struc-
ture and action.
The man or woman using the purest
fermented wines and alcoholics with
the belief that he or she Is benefited
by such use is mistaken-seriously
dangerously so. The diseased alcohol
habit is always fixed before the sub
ject is at all aware Of it, and 1t Is even
more subtle, binding and harmful than
the desire for opium, morphine, CO.
caine or hasheesh.
