LOST ST.. 200, 900 BY WEATHER
Chicago Merchants Hit by Unseasons-
bic Conditions of the Summer

Chicago Merchants Hit by Unseasona-
bic Conditions of the Summer.
The unreasonable summer which has
about drawn to cloae has cost the
shopping district of Chicago an enormous
sum. A principal man in one of the
leading stores of State street says the
loss amounts to an even 81 ,0000 900. The
retail business of the dry goods houses in
Chicago long ago learned TO recognize
the desirability of the normal season, and
while it often has been said of Chicago
that it had only two seasons. summer
and winter. the trade of State street has
always looked for and TO a great extent
anticipated the four seasons covered by
the almanacs
There is nothing in the economy of
business which enables the dealer in dry
goods 10 anticipate an abnormal season.
said the authority already quoted. 1T
he buys for spring trade, and the
spring is too warm or too cold, or too wet
or too dry, all that the business man has
anticipated for that season is awry and
nothing can save him from loss.
There are times when through some
unforeseen circumstance a bit of abnor-
NAL weather will lend itself to the max
ing Of money for a house, or even for
several houses, but in the long run it is
recognized that the nearer the weather
keeps to the normal which the public has
learned to expect, the better will be trade
in general.
I'm general way an abnormally cool
spring and summer will show quickest
in the underwear sections and in the
dress goods departments of big house.
but at the same time it may be counted
upon that every unreasonable day of any
kind leaves its marks upon the seasons
profits in State street. The unseasona-
BILE day, of whatever character 1t be,
means simply that fewer shoppers come
downtown by reason of it. On top of
this condition is the further influence
that the unseasonableness may have on
the prospective needs of the customer;
usually the sonableness means that
the customer will be less inclined to an
ticipate q normal need. and in not COM
ing downtown because of this possible
want the merchant downtown loses the
sales of hundred other things which
are sold because they are seen-handker-
chiefs, laces, perfumes, collars, gloves,
buttons, and the like.
IF women coming downtown to make
definite purchases only should in all
cases make only these definite purchases.
it would be hard lines for State street.
But thousands of dollars every day are
spent in the street just because the
shopper chances to see something on dis
play which catches her fancy and seizes
upon it because of itself or its price or
the advantage to which it is displayed to
her view."

New General for Marines.

Brigadier General George F. Elliott has
assumed command Of the marine corps ot
the United States Navy, vice Major Gen.
eral Charles Herwood, who retires at the
age of g., after twelve years service as
commandant of that branch of the service
General Elliott entered the corps in 1870
since which time he has had almost four
teen years of sea and foreign service. His
career has been varied as well as dis
tinguished. While he was attached to the
Monongahela, at Rio De Janeiro in 1879,
yellow fever broke out on the vessel
Despite the fact that he could have had
leave and gone to the mountains, he, OF
his own volition, remained with the ship
and his men, and when the assistant
surgeon of the vessel was taken down
with fever, volunteered to assist the sur
geon, and performed excellent service in
this connection.

electric car at sd avenue. The cause
of the accident is declared to have been
neglect of duty on the part of the crew
of the electric car. Witnesses say that
the conductor failed to stop at the cross
ing and so ahead TO see if the way was
clear. Instead the motorman rushed the
car straight into the path of the engine.
The electric car was going at full
speed rs it crossed the railway tracks.
Suddenly the motorman saw the head
light of an approaching engine and grasp
ing the brake he turned it rapidly. The
chain was loose and the car shot ahead.
Terrified, he shouted warning 10 the
passengers and then jumped.
The electric car was caught squarely
in the middle by the engine and shattered
into splinters. The occupants of the car
were thrown high in the air and some
were found dead sixty feet away, their
bodies horribly mangled
