REVIEW OF TRADE.
Abnormal Activity No Longer Prevails
i'm Business. 60

New York, Oct. 24.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Numerous labor controversies have
appeared, and more furnaces and
mills have closed, the tendency being
to operate only the plants provided
with the most modern equipment.
There is no anxiety regarding legisla-
ton at the special session of congress
and, despite the curtailment of ac-
tvity in many manufacturing lines,
a heavy volume of business is being
transacted.
Western traffic facilities are proving
inadequate, the distribution of mer-
2handiSe being enormous at the in
terror and, taking the country as u
whole, conditions may be considered
fairly satisfactory, although there are
indiSputable evidences that abnormal
activity has received a check. job
blng trade has become more quiet
with the advancing season, and at
many points the weather is not cal
culated to maintain buying of wear
ing apparel at retail. Gross earnings
of the railways thus far reported for
October surpass last years by 6.2 per
cent.
Another general reduction in quo
tations of pig iron has occurred, not
withstanding the restriction of out
put. and movement is on foot to fur
ther reduce production unless busi-
ness improves. New orders are few
nd limited to immediate require
ments, which is also true of finished
steel. Not only have additional con-
tracts failed to be offered. but can
cellations of old orders are report
ed.
Failures this week numbered 279 in
the United States, compared with 239
last year, and in Canada %, against
% Il year ago.

GRAY HAIR AND x-RAY.
Another Sensational Claim Made for
the Miracle Light-ImprobabiIi of


The X-ray seems destined in many
ways to pay the penalty of all sorts
of sensational reports % to its sup
posed efficacy in treating intractable
diseases. As might have been ex-
pected, its claims have been very
much exaggerated, even in cases that
offered plausible excuses for their
possible vindication.
The latest news is to the effect
that this mysterious agency is capa-
BILE of restoring gray hair to its orig
inal color. How such an effect can
be brought about no one attempts
To explain. Nor would it be wise to
offer any reason for it, says the New
York Herald, in the face of certain
well-known facts connected with the
physiology of hair and its anatomi-
cal character.
All very well know that the color
of the hair is a part of its nutrition
and is dependent upon the secretion
of a pigment in certain cells in its
substance. When the hair loses it's
pigment vitality grayness ensues as
a natural evolutionary process. The
youthful tinge disappears by COM
mon law of progressive decay as age
advances. i ne ndlT llSelI DcCOlleS
virtually color dead and all efforts
to restore it's former life are admit
tedly as futile as similar efforts to
reviyify other defunct processes.
But now the X-ray must come in
as an alleged miracle worker and
give new hopes for the gray heads.
Alas! many of the latter are desper-
ate enough in their vanity to try any
new thing that may present itself.
To such it may be necessary to
sound a note of warning.
Even if it should prove to be a fact
that the X-ray can do what is claim
ed, the remedy is certainly a danger
Gus one to become popular. If "sev-
eral hundred exposures" are required,
not only will a great deal of valuable
time be lost in the sittings and many
fees eXacted, but the positive dam
ages ensuing after such prolonged
treatment are not to be lightly con-
sidered. How to avoid the terrible
X-ray burns, which sometimes occur
even with experts is still great prob
lem. Edison, in n recent interview in
the Herald, emphasized this fact in
n manner not to be misunderstood.
Thus there may be chance, with
such as may be determined to try
the new thing, for the traditional 'old
fool' to multiply himself over the
land.

Cnnucks lose Again.

Montreal, Que, Oct. 2I.-Some time
ago the Canadian nail manufacturers
entered into an agreement with the
United States Steel Corporation to
purchase all the wire rods they re-
CURED from that company. AS a re-
turn for this contract the steel COM
pany agreed to keep out of the Cana
dian nail market. The depression in
the German iron market enabled the
Canadian manufacturers to buy under
the steel company's price and they
availed themselves of it. The day of
reckoning came. however, and the of
Tending manufacturers have now
agreed to pay the steel company the
amount they saved through their pur-
chase in the Germsn market, about
81 per ton.

HE PLEADED GUILTY.
A SaIoonkeeper Says He Committed
Perjury While TestIfying Tor Sam


Parks.
New York, Oct. 22.-Bernard Lynch,
the saioonteeper who was one of the
witnesses for the defense in the trial
of Sam Parks, the labor leader, for
eXtortion, on Wednesday pleaded
guilty of perjury and was remanded
until Friday for sentence.
Lynch was indicted for perjury
along with Henry Farley and Tim
othy Mccarthy after the trial of
Parks for eXtortion, which resulted
in the conviction of the labor lead
er. The eXtortion trial grew out of
the charges of Joshua Plenty, con-
tractor, who said that he paid $500 to
Parks in Lynch's saloon to call off a
strike at the Hamburg g-American line
pier.
Parks witnesses swore to an alibi
for Parks and said that they did not
see him in the saloon on the day it
was alleged that he received the
money.
Parks, who was also indicted on a
charge OF perjury, was to have APP
peared before Judge Foster yeSter-
day. When up to noon he had not ap-
peared Assistant District Attorney
Randall asked the latter's counsel,
James w. Osborne, if he would pro-
duce Parks in court. Mr.. Osborne re-
piled that he would make no prom
ises in the matter Mr.. Randall then
asked Inspector McClusky to assign
detectives to look for Parks. who is
now at liberty under $4,000 bail

A DeadIY ExpIosIon,

Butler, Pa, Oct. 24.-William Marks
was killed and Patrick Hardy fatally
injured Friday by an explosion of
nitro-glycerine. The men were ped
dlerS of notions and had camped in

menced to cut out the top so as to
transform it in water vessel. The
small portion of the nitro-glycerine
exploded and Marks head, hands and
feet were blown off and his body dis
emboWeled. Hardy had his eyes
blown out and the bones in his arms
and legs shattered in a dozen placeS.

RESCUED BY KITE.

Steep1e Climber Brought From PERIL
GUS Position by the Aid of Boys
Toy.
F. Devillo Sanders, of Belmont, Al
legheny county, Pa, climbed the
steeple of the Episcopal church in
Genesse, n. Y, the other day so eX-
anime the damage done by lightning,
When he was near the top of the
steeple his rope caught so that he
could not move up or down, and it
was necessary to get another rope to
him.
The nearest place to Sanders that
could be reached was 60 feet below
where he was dangling.
Ezekiel Willis, boy, got out his
kite and flew it so that Sanders could
grasp the string. Then pieces of cord
of gradually increasing size were at
tached to the kite string until San
ders got rope and came down.
