TRADE CONDITIONS.
ID. G. Dun & So. Report Decrease In
 Labor Disputes.

R. G. Dun 6 So. Report Decrease In
 Labor Disputes.
 NEW YORK, July 25.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 The tenor of dispatches from nearly every section of the country indicates that there is less than the customary midsummer dullnesS in business, and collections are more prompt than usu- al. These facts alone should stimulate confidence as to the future, irrespective of the fully average outlook for crops and gradually decreasing labor disputes. A large proportion of the unions have signed working agreement with the employers in the building trades of this city, and fully half the men have returned to work. This method of operation promises immunity from many delays and expensive struggles in the future. As yet no traffic conges- ton is reported, but blockades are an ticipated when grain begins to come forward freely. tl#
 Earnings of railways reported for July exceed last years by 12.9> per cent and those of 1901 by 24.1 per cent Farm work still retards retail distrfbu- tion of merchandise in western sec tons. Chicago reports trade very active for the season and naanufactur- ing industries crowded with orders. Clothing sales have surpassed last years at Baltimore and payments are unusually prompt. Woolen mills and shoe shops are busy at Boston, but Fall River spinners curtail output. Wool is firm at Philadelphia, and clothing manufacturers are well em- ployed.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for July amount to $7,30S,973, of which $4,35S177 were in manufacturing, $2,391, ,848 in trading and $559, ,44S in other commercial lines. Failures this week numbered 191 in the United States against POS a year ago and 19 in Canada compared with 17 last year.

NAUGATUCK NUGGETS.

 4 one-story wooden building owned and occupied by Greek fruit dealer was completely gutted by fire yester- day afternoon.

The building previous to being occupied by the fruit dealer was the home of the Naugatuck Daily News.

TIPPING HOSTS SERVANTS.

The question of tips to servants when visiting is one that often per plexes the average young woman, par ticularly if she be somewhat untravel- ed Some hostesses expressly request that guests shall not fee their servants or indeed, spend any money, whatever in their houses. One very rich woman goes to the length of enclosing round trip tickets to her country home in her letters of invitation, and on Sun days sends an envelope to each guests room containing a coin for the contri- button box-which seems an exaggera- ton of hospitality which comes clos CT to ostentation. E
 As rule, however, servants expect q farewell present, and among "rich persons who constantly exchange vis- it's in big establishments. these are given with a lavisnness that has ere ated a difficult scale for less fortunate folk to live up to, says the Harper's s Bazar. A young girl of moderate means, finding herself guest at a Dretentions home. need not hesitate, however, to give her small fee to the butler and to the maid who has been
 
 sure to discover very quickly the ap- proximate finances of those whom fhey serve and usually understand and accept gratefully the small bestowal when the donor cannot afford a large one. Tn simpler homes the giving IS easier and should not be omitted.
 Where only one or two maids are kept the presence of guests, means, us- ually additional work, and little gra- tuity for this extra service is only fair. It may, too. often make things easier for the hostess, reacting is cheerful atmosphere below stairs that is most desirable and sure to be felt through out the house. With the gift should go a gracious word of thanks for ser vice received, and it will be the surly maid, indeed, who will not beam with pleasure at the double bestowal. Hu- man nature is pretty much the same through all the ranks of life, and de- sire for appreciation Is one of its most universal traits.

which for some time has been moder- ately eruptive, has grown more active during the last few days. Lava from the crater has overdowed to the extent of 750 feet, but is confined to the up per part of the mountain, as 1t cools and its movement grows slower as 1t flows down. It leaves the crater in one stream about 25o feet wide and then divides into small rivulets. At night the eruption presents magnificent spectacle, as burning showers are emitted which rise to a great height. The authorities say there is no danger and that the eruption is unimportant.

AT most of the large London restaur-

It is half the battle of a dinner to
have it well served and they seem to
understand this at the Empire. Apro-
pos Of this dinner music controversy
the following apt and plain sponken
remarks are floating around in the
newspapers: even where the players
are decently competent and the pro-
gramme Is reasonably intelligent, the
.loudness Of the harmony IS utterly out
OF accord with the occasion Of its EN-
ployment. Music that accompanies
dining should be such in volume and
penetration as merely TO touch the
ear. instead OF pounding IT, The truth
is, that what was in the beginning a
timid innovation. has become a bla-
tant nuisance. and the sooner IT is
brought back within intelligent bounds
the better it will be for the digestion
of the public and the profit of the
restauranteurs." On top Of this comes
the announcement that the Metropoie,
London. has abolished music, and other
hotels viii doubtless follow soon.
