IMPROVED CONDITIONS.
Trade shows Greater Activity I'm All
Lines Except Iron, Where Out
put II to BE Reduced.

New York, Oct. 3.--Bradstreet's week.
ly review OF trade says: mixed trade
and crop conditions still present them
selves, although some Improvement In
tone Is noted where crop estimates, as
In the case Of corn. show expansion.
Lower prices for cereals point the way
to future large business and induce q
larger foreign interest in our farm pro-
ducts. Trade reports vary with sections
considered. the best reports coming
from the southwest, the northwest and
come from sections of the middle west.
From the south the reports are In the
main favorable as to trade and collec-
tions, but crop deterioration Is wide
spread, except from the lower Missis-
sippi valley. Falling prices for cotton,
though hopeful sign for our export
trade and domestic manufacturers, do
not excite lively satisfaction among pro-
ducers. Among the great Industries
iron and steel show the effect Of threat
ened over-production in proposals for a
20 per cent. reduction of Northern fur
mace output, rumors of like action by
southern producers and quiet demand
for finished products"
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review or
trade says: aside from the reduction
In blast furnace activity manufacturing
plants are more fully engaged, and sew
eral encouraging reports are received,
particularly as to footwear. Wholesale
and jobbing trade is well maintained,
many cities reporting a larger volume
than last year. and business at Chicago
is stimulated by the multitude attending
the centennial. Latest returns of for
eign commerce at this port are favor
able, exports increasing, while imports
decrease as compared with the same
week last year. Railway earnings thus
far available for September exceed those
Of 1902 by S,4 per cent. and surpass earn
ings in 1901 by 1913 per cent.

responding week last year, and in Can

conference took place at the white house

Welt and Ave members OF the executive
council Of the American Federation Of
Labor. including President Gompers and
Mr. Mitchell. head of the miners union,
during which the case of Foreman w. A.
Miller, Of the government printing Of
fee, who was dismissed because he had
been expelled from the local bookbinder's
union and afterwards was reinstated by
direction of the president, was the prin-
cipal topic Of discussion. The confer
ence was granted at the request Of the la
Dor leaders. The Miller case was very
fully presented by the members Of the
executive council, at the close of which
the president made statement in which
he announced that his decision not to
dismiss Miller was final and that the
question of his personal fitness must be
settled in the regular routine of admins
tration.
Washington, Oct. 1.-The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor has issued an address to organ
lied labor of America. The appeal de-
mands the enforcement of the eight
hour day, both in private and govern
ment employment, defends the right of
labor to strike in defense of its rights,
protests against the writ of injunction
in industrial disputes and asserts that
"the right of the nonunionist to work
when, where and for what he pleases
carries with it the logical right Of the
unionist to work or refuse to work when,
where and for what he pleases, and with
whom he pleases." The address also tells
of the result of the conference between
the executive officers and President
Roosevelt

rightfully may and rightfully may not
do on the Sabbath day is that they rea-
son from human standpoints and with
conceptions Of life which do not reach
beyond the present life. But IL ques-
ton as regards to conduct on the Sab
bath day Is to be settled rightfully and
finally 1t must be considered In rela-
ton to himself, to his God and to his
fellowmen. Christians would not be so
troubled and anxious over this Sunday
question II they were moved by the pur-
pose of doing good which actuated
Christ. He never found It dificult to
decide what He ought to do. He never
seemed to be troubled by the criticism
of those about Him, for the law Of the
Sabbath day was being lived out in His
life. He was doing good. II involved
His relations to Himself, to His God and
to His fellowman, and this was the pur-
pose Of the day. II was the direction In
which the highest possibilities of the
day might be realized. Surely the Sab
bath day was made for man, but the
only pathway Of realization of all the
blessed possibilities Of that day Is the
way which Jesus marked out He is the
Lord OF the Sabbath. He It is Who can
lead us. Do good on the Sabbath day
and test that good doing by your rela-
tionship to yourself. to your God and to
your fellowman. Then ths Sunday
question will be settled. at least as Tar
as you yourself are concerned, and this
will be a long step in the direction al
settling II for others.

A PICNIC FOR TWO.

Laura and Harlow Graham furnished
up little cottage and began house
keeping Their wedding presents made
a pretty show in the little parlor, and
tne oric-a-brac filed the bay window.
II was not style of course, but these
were Just pair of real human people
VINO mad started out to picnic through
NE and they did not bother themselves

tney belonged to an unevangelical
church, which has for it's creed owe no
man anything"
They had some failures and many ex-
periments, but this was their picnic and
tney made the most of it. If things went
wrong in the counting room Laura set
her wits to work to help Harlow
straighten them out and days when her
housekeeping faculty failed her she
went to the delicatessen shops and
bought pure food and ready-tO-eat
dainties. which she served appetizingIy
on the wedding china. She invited her
friends to esthetic teas while everything
had the charm of neWness. and old
housekeepers asked her for recipes. And
she made Harlow promise that when
she died he would have this original
epitah engraved on her tombstone:
:HER PICKED UP DINNERS WERE.
"A PERFECT SUCCESS.
'-.--.--.-- ------.---
Now, strange as it may seem. there
is nothing so insipid as the dead level
calm of happiness. Pain is healthful
compared to the monotony of constant
inaction, and Laura was beginning to
yawn little and feel bored now that
everything was adjusted and running
!, smoothly 1t looked too much like real
alife, with the picnic element left out.
But one day Harlow Graham went
home and told his wife he felt queer.
She would not allow herself TO sug-
Eest illness. so she asked:

that the figures made me dizzy. They
