There is still no indication of the de-
preston in trade and industry that
pessimists predicted would follow the
decline ia securities. Conservatism
was developed by the uncertainty re-
garding the effect upon financial con
ditions, but legitimate business is able
to secure funds as they are required
and the more cautious progress Of bust
ness gives promise Of greater perma
nent gain.
Weak spots have been disclosed, and
the technical position strengthened.

A GhOstly StO.y.

A ghastly and ghostly story is
given to the world by an undertak-
er at Otto, near Herndon, in Nor
thumberland county. He states
that six years ago an year-old
girl of Simon Fisher was i'll and her
likeness appeared mysteyiously on
the ceiling, It was visible to all but
her and she died next day. The
likeness remained although the
paper was removed and the ceiling
whtewashed. Last week a son
died in the same room under identi.
cally the same circumstances and
both pictures are now to be seen.

Flowery announcements and full
some promises are so frequently
followed by mediocre performances
that theatrical claims are now
usually accepted with the proven
bal grain of SALT" yet sometimes
we find every representation SO
thoroughly honored that we begin
to appreciate the value of the trade
mark Of reputation, substantial
management. Thus it is wheu
Nixon & Zimmerman names ap-
pear as sponsors for an attraction
for they value and guard their
regulations and words as carefully
as the most reliable commercial
firm and when their names appear
in connection with a production it
may be accepted as foregone con-
clusion that it is of the very first
quality.

Banquet.

NEW YORK, March 2s.-An equestrian
dinner was given tonight by c. X. G. Bill
lings Of New York and Chicago in the ball
room of Sherry's, which was transformed
into a rural scene by the introduction Of
grassy lawns, thick foliage and beds Of
flowers.
Here the guests found thirty-two richly
caparisoned horses bearing on their sad
dlesbows mail tables, two feet in length
by eighteen inches wide, covered with
cloths. The steeds were perfectly trained
and remained motionless, while attendants
in hunting costumes served the various
courses to the riders.
. The plan Of the dinner was kept a pre-
found secret up to the last moment, when
the horses we're taken up to the ballroom
on the freight elevator.
Each guest found his mount by means OF
horse shoe shaped cards bearing the names
attached TO the saddles.
