weekly review of trade tomorrow Will
say:
Heavy transactions in merchandise arc
reported but there is much complaint re-
gardug the slow movement of freight.
The situation as to general lines is aggra-
waited by the precedence given fuel. Rail-
road earnings thus far available for Jam
uarN surpasS last year by five per cent
and those of 1901 by H.. per cent De-
mand tor building materials is UNUSUAL,
brisk Prices of lumber at the Sout n
have advanced.
The fuel situation is st.ll serious ana
many pig iron furnaces have been added
to the idle list. As othe demand for finish
ed products, requirements are still press
ing and orders have been placed for as
many steel rails as We're produced in the
fun year 1902.
N"W England producers of boots and
shoes are actively engaged ON seasonabln
lines and there is enough business on hand
to keep most plants in operation two
months ut least. New business comes for
ward rather slowly. Trade in leather is
better. Tho cotton goods situation grows
steadily stronger demands for immediate
needs preventing accumulation of supplies
ana leaving an increasing number of or
dcrs untitled, Manufactures also are talk
ing stronger position irrespective of in
quires, because of the higher prices paid
for raw cotton, coal. etc Export buying
has practically ceased With the exception
of a few of the finest grades WOODEN
goods for the fan of 1903 are now funny
opened. This weeks new lines are ON the
same basis as earlier openings, about five
to ten per cent above lasv seasons figures
Buyers are more conservative than ar
grcssive but sellers are not disposed ia
make concessions, as is natural in view
of the exceptionally strong market for
raw wool
Failures this week in the United States
are 263 against 267 last week and 3Ol last

PLUMES AND THE HEREAFTER
FORhorn Revivalist Throws a Bomb
she'll Among the Women of
Indiana.

The Rev. John Brown, wac Is conuuctlhA
a protracted and successful revival az
Wabash, Ind, startled his congregation last
Thursday night by declaring 1t to be MS
conviction that no woman who wears piumes
in her hat can ever hope to enter the king
dom Of heaven.
-Four women who occupied pews In the
church. upon hearing this, left their seats
tore the plumes from their hats, cast them
into the stove, returned to their places, re-
sumed their close attention to the dis
course and we're properly commended from
the pulpit for the sacrifice they had made.
whatever may be the spiritual situation
In Kokomo, and we fear it is not wholly
satisfactory, 1t is at least clear that Wabash
has been moved. Indeed, the fact that in q
large congregation only four women wore
plumes in their hats, and that these quickly
abandoned the frivolous adornments TO the
flames upon learning Of their peril, is suf-
fcient to prove that the Rev, Mr.. Brown
had already succeeded in aFousing better
sentiment in Wabash to a pitch which 1t has
probably never attained in Kokomo.
The only regret, IL there be room for any
regret in this connection, Is that the good
news does not come from the latter place,
rather than from Wabash, for Kokomo, as
we all know, has long needed the spiritual
uplift which will produce results OF this
character. Kokomo is not a vicious town.
In the general aeceptation Of that term, but
It is frivolous to a degree which, to say the
least, is deplorable.
We do not know to What extent hat
plumes are worn there, but 1t is q matter
Of common notoriety hat Kokomo is head
quarters for happenings which could occur
nowhere else In this country outside Of
FindIaV o. or Wichita. Kan. IL might be
mentioned as an illustration Of this fact
that, IL the incident narrated above had
occurred at Kokomo instead OF Wabash. u
would have been reported so as to onvey
the idea to the general reader that the four
women in question arose In their pews, tore
their hats into shreds and danced upon
them.
No Kokomo correspondent would have
been satisfied with seading such a subdued
dispatch as that which comes from Wabash,
and it is possible that Wabash will be dis
appointed with the c~oloring II has received
when It shall have seen it in print-.Chi-

A WELL PROPoRTIoNED FIGURE
That which ss Made TO FIT Clothes
A~rtisticaIIy Designed.

Miss Morse Of the Artists Craft institu-
ton told her auditors at the national dress
makers convention at Chicago what. In her
opinion, were the proper measurements Of
a we'll proportioned feminine figure. From
her we learn that II should be: Height,
s feet 8 inches; bust measure, undar arm.
"a inches; bust measure, over arm, AZ
inches; width Of shoulders, twice the width
Of the head; length from chin to top OF
breast bone. one-half length of head. and
so on. 1T does not concern me-" continues
this high priestess Of the art OF drapery.

urements the dress can be made to cry

the correct attire OF women which we so
much admire does not depend on their real
measurements, but the clever manner n
which measurements that are contrary 10
the ideal are concealed. II is the mans
tailor who blindly, unalterably and with
teeth set insists on making your clothes

artist. she makes her patron Mt the clothes.
This is the whole secret OF artistic humsn
attire. Because the man is bow legged. must
his trousers be bow legged? Far from it;

be far from it-far from the leg, we mean
IL must by some peculiar cutting and sew
ing, which only the Phidiases and Michael
Angeles among tailors understand, be made
an inch or two shorter on the inside than
the outside. and there you have the optical

KnOckinE at Doors.
Again, servants whom one might expect
to be fairly we'll trained turn out to be
quite ignorant Of the etiquette In connec-
ton with knocking at doors. The rule Is:
Never knock at sitting room doors cooks
are the exception to this rule), but always
knock at bedroom doors. Inferior servants
invariably knock at the door OF drawing
room or dining room. even II one has rung
for them; and by this one may deduoe the
caste Of the family where they were last
employed, as we'll as by another Invaluable
sign-namely. laying desert spoons on the
table for soup instead of tablespoons.
But though those servants whose business
II IL to wait on the family should enter
the sitting room without knocking, they
must not be allowed to come In noisily or
to rattle the latch. Again, when leaving
they should close the door securely, gently
but firmly sending the latch home into the
socket. They should also be trained In the
way Of shutting the door while they are in
the room, whether to mend the FIRE or ar
range the tea table, or bring in letters.
Some servants have an annoying habit Of
leaving the door wide open, allowing the
cold air to enter in winter and drafts to
blow everything about In summer.
In such ways as these will the mistress
who has a well conducted menage sec that
her servants are trained. No banging OF
doors is allowed. No loud voices or noisy
footsteps are permitted. Chicago Tribune.

Archbishop of Canterbury, whose con-
version to the Catholic Church has
been announced, is described as the
biggest haul that Roman fishermen
have made i'll Anglican waters for
many day. He is Il young man Of
various and graceful talents, a per-
suasive preacher and the author of Z
really thrilling book on the super
natural. called 1.-The Light Beyond"
Mr.. Benson was ordained in 1894, and.
since 1901 had ministered to the COM
munity of the Resurrection at Min
field, well-known high church insti-'
tuition. 1t is stated that Mr.. Benson
has been led to secession from 4Angli~
canism by disgust ut the policy of the
English bishops and conviction that
their pet scheme of church reform is
an unworthy concession to the secular
opinion which it is their business ter
fight.

Interview With Archbishop.

The following interesting bit of
gossip appeared in the New York Sun
of recent date:
Archbishop Ireland arrived in New
York from st. Paul yesterday and is
staying ut the Fifth Avenue hotel.
He is on his way to Washington. His
visit to the capital is semi-otficial, but
he refuses to disclose it's nature.
Asked concerning the Philippine ques-
ton, he said: II know great deal
about that. much that will be of inter-
est to the public, but the time has not
come to speak about it," 1t is be-
lieved that Archbishop Ireland will
take some active part in the reorgan-
ization of the Church in the Philip
pines. If the Fourth Plenary Council
should be held here it is believed also
that Archbishop Ireland will repre-
sent the Philippine hierarchy as Arch
bishop Harty's friends assert that he
will not attend the council. Speaking
of labor conditions. Archbishop Ire
land said: Throughout the North

Endorsed for his attitude in the Miller
case. He took stand for principle,

Who Hanged Emmet?

The cXecutoner of Robert Emmett
was Il stranger to the people who Wit
messed the death of that patriot. On
August ). 1878. there died in the
workhouse at Ballina. County Mayo. n
pauper named Barney Moran. On
his eathbed he revealed that he was
the hangman who had arranged the
moose OH Emmet's neck and, later,
struck Off his head. He was soldier
at Portobello barracks on Sept. 10.
1903, and was offered Il large sum Of
money to dress up in civilian clothes
and act as hangman for that occa-
sion. He and his superiors kept his
secret well. But his ill-got blood mon
ey did not prosper him. He left the
army, and after a wandering life Of
privation as a ballad singer and beg
gar, 20 years after Emmet's execution,
he found a pauper's death and a name
less grave.

this talk about trusts and CAPITAL is

/ this talk about trusts and capital is
nonsense. Every man who has $40
in the bank is a capitalist, and if two
men are partners in little grocery
store there is trust. Organized
capital and organized labor are part
of this age-they are here to stay.
and they are harmless except when
they violate the law, and when they
do the law should act against them.
And speaking of labor questions, here
is a good story. am wearing some

Six months ago 1 went to a labor
meeting here. After the meeting had
adjourned went for my hat, and this
was the only uhe left. Whoever own
ed it had a big head, but he is wearing
a better hat now than he did before
that labor meeting" Many stories
have been told of Archbishop Ire
lands hat. He is known for his
broad-brimmed black headgear, and
the New York hat he has been wear
ing for the last six months, and will
probably wear for the next six years,
is Of that type, although not quite so
expansive as his own. Speaking of
hats suggested Cardinal Gibbons an,
nouncement that another red hat is
to come to the United States. Asked
concerning the rumor that it is to go
to the Archbishop of st. Paul, Arch
bishop Ireland replied: 'You want to
keep it here and limited that the
insignia of the new cardinal would not
go further than this port Archbishop
Ireland denied that the Paulists are
to go to st. Paul. "Chcago is big
enough to keep the overflow of Paul

will establish themselves there and
do great and good work.
