Cloth Market.

Manchester, March 29.-The cloth
market was somewhat less depressed
last week, and merchants were less in
difterent, though considerable differ
ence remains between the buyers and
sellers, and the turnover was quite
moderate. There was some inquiry
from India, but the offers were mostly
impracticable, as were also the offers
for the favorite China staples. The
Levant trade also was unsatisfactory.
Yarns were quiet, the leading fea-
ture being the absence of any inquiry.

BOOK NOTICES.

Hills Beginnings of Rhetoric and
Composition" by Adams Sherman Hill,
Bolyston professor of rhetoric and ora
tory, Harvard University. Cloth,
limo, 522 pages. Price, SIPS. Ameri-
can Book Company. New York. In
this book the author teaches young
writer's to express themselves correct
ly, not by dry Mechanical devices. but
by stimulating them to put their nat
ural selves into their compositions. The
book aims to remove the obstacles,
small or great, that lie between what
they think and what they write. The
young writer is shown how to present
his thoughts in the best English within
his reach and in the form adapted to
his purpose.
Monteith's "Some Useful Animals
and What They Do for U.s." by John
Monteith, M. A, author of Familiar
Animals" Living Creatures, etc, and
Caroline Monteith. Cloth, 12mo., 232'
pages, with illustrations. Price, so
cents. American Book Company, New
York. The subjects treated in this
book both assist in nature study and
give aid in learning to read. The form
of treatment was suggested by actual
experience in the school and the home.
The moral lessons derived from the ac-
tionS of animals are vivid and engage
ing, and much useful and interesting
information is impaired. The interde-
pendence of mankind and the domestic
and fur-bearing animals is empha-
sized. The book is fully illustrated by
cuts.

viable reputation as a poet. His "Ly-
ricks of Lowly Life" and his Lyrics
of the Hearthside," are we'll known to
the public, having been received with
much favor. The volume which is now
offered to his admirers, contains
larger proportion of his charming dia-
lect poems than either of the others,
and is certain to be warmly welcom-
ed.

TRlBULA TIONS OF a TRUANT OFFICER
The duty devolves upon the members
of the Omaha Board of Education to do
something to tighten the labors Of their
overworked truant officer The report
he has just made, setting forth in detail
the trials and tribulations Of his office,
certainly entities him to sympathetic
consideration.
According to the truancy report, dill
gent chasing of the elusive small boy
has uncovered the fact that $1,200000-
600 is spent annually in this country
for frothy beer and bad whisky. From
wicked boys lurking behind barn doors
with half-burned cigarettes in danger
Gus proximity to haymows, it has been
learned that the nations bill for to-
bacco that goes up annually in smoke
or brown-stained expectoration foots up
S600,0000O0 BY close examination of
the wads found stuck on the bottom of
school desks and with the assistance of
mathematical experts on the teachers
payroll, 1t has been figured out that the
annual rake-off for chewing gum masti-,
Gated by the American youth, infantile
and adult, amounts to $30,OOO,0O0, and
that the plastic mass If rolled out into
thin sheets would have served as an
effective waterproof umbrella to shield
all the flooded districts of the west
against the destructive consequences of
the recent downpour.
That the truant children of Omaha
are blessed with industrious imagina-
tions is disclosed by the speculative con-
clusion, reached through association
with them, that fifteen buildings equal
in size and comfort to the Omaha post
Office could be built out of blocks of
than one years crop. If tobacco plugs
were used as the building material the
number could be increased to 900, and
by rearing the walls of beer kegs and
whisky barrels the harvest of public
buildings could be doubled. How many
buildings like the Omaha postofiice
could be added to the country's substan-
tial wealth If the women would agree
to do without silk dresses and the men
to discard collars and neckties has not
yet been computed, but we may feel
assured that subsequent reports of the
truant officer will delve more deeply
into these important subjects.
In the meantime, the record would
not be complete without the information
that between the dates of April 1S and
June 1, period covering thirty-seven
days exclusive of Sundays. the truant
officer made 27s calls on the parents OF
guardians of children who failed to
answer present" at the daily roll call
in the school room, or seven and one
half calls per day, and has drawn his
salary regularly.

realized that somebody had put up a job

Investigation by officials of the Navy de-
partment leads to the conclusion that the
large number of desertions from American
war vessels are due in no small measure
to the fact that recruits are disappointed.
Recruiting officers paint the joys of service
at sea in colors altogether too rosy and
instructions have been issued that they
cease doing so. Desertions average about
$50 per month.

THE TOPEKA CALAMITY.
Splendid Behavior of the People in
the Face of Disaster.

Chicago Tribune.
The first three months of 1903 were un-
marked by any serious disaster In this
country. 1t was not until April that the
first records Of fatality began. In that
month cyclones and storms swept through
Arkansas and Alabama, destroying over
forty lives, and these have continued
through the last month in Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri. Iowa and Oklahoma,
adding forty more to the list of fatalities
The work OF destruction has not ended yet
Following the cyclones come floods and
fire in a portion Of the same region, west
OF the Mississippi river.
Comparatively small rivers, swollen by
heavy rains, have overnowed their banks,
involving millions Of dollars in Industrial
losses at Des Moines and Ottumwa, Ia,
Lincoln and Beatrice. Neb.. Lawrence and
Salina, Kan, and Kansas City. There has
also been loss OF life at some Of these
points, possibly a score all told, but dis
aster In its most fatal results and far
reaching consequences has visited North
Topeka, the industrial section of the state
capital, by the sudden overflow of the Kan
sas river. All Of North Topeka Is under
water and the flood has also made its way
to the higher ground of South Topeka.
Flood and fire, two antagonistic elements,
have combined in the work of destruction.
1t Is too early as yet to state with any
defniteness the extent of material losses
or the number of lives which have been
sacrificed to the swift rushing waters
carrying burning buildings In every direc-
ton and causing scores OF new fires, leav-
ing scores of human beings the sad alter
native of choosing the least painful death
by drowning.
Apart from the loss of life, whatever 1t
may be, the full extent OF this calamity
can be realized only when 1t is taken into
account that 1000 persons in North Topeka
alone are homeless and that business has
suffered losses to the extent Of 5000 900.
This means increased losses TO labor and
ing to thousands. 1t means little short of
complete ruin to great number Unless
prompt and thorough precautions are en-
ployed II may mean that pestilence will add
to the mortality caused by fire and flood.
The splendid manner in which the people
of Topeka came to the rescue of the unfor-
tunates and the prompt and business-like
way In which the authorities acted, though
unprepared when called upon, show that
they have an undaunted spirit and resolute
purpose in the face of calamity. BLEED
ing Kansas has been tried many a time
in "the furnace of affiiction," and proved

herself such now in this new and sudden
misfortune.

ton, at least so far as the better class Of
securities is concerned, has spent its
force, while the inevitable and material
decline in those stocks and the normal
values now ruling for them have re-
moved an important source of general
weakness. That careful and conserva-
tive journal does not take an altogether
optimistic view of the situation, remark
ing that there are circumstances and
disturbing influences which may keep
up for some time the existing state Of
unrest on the Stock exchange. The un-
questionable fact is that there has been
overspeculation and overproduction of
securities, making inevitable reaction
and comparative depression. There is a
lesson in the situation that is worthy Of
careful consideration.
