eETTER. TRADE OUTLOOK.
Weekly Review Shows Many Encour-
aging Features-Business Stead
ly Expanding.

. New York, Sept 10.-R. G. Dun G.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Holiday influence is calculated to
check distribution of merchandise, but
the past week, has brought more en-
couraging results in the business
world, and from many points come re-
ports of steadily expanding trade,
while it is not exceptional to find COM
PARSONS with the corresponding week
last year favorable to 1904. Retail
trade in fall lines of dry goods, cloth
ing, millinery and nearly all wearing
apparel shows healthy growth, and
for hardware, household utensils and
kindred lines there is a broader de-
mand. The best development of the
week was the resumption of work in
many industries that have suffered
through strikes, while several serious
controversies were averted. Crop
progress is better than average and
high prices promise large profits to the
farmers. Signs of better conditions in
the leading manufacturing industries
multiply as the season advances and the
actual amount of business in sight has
increased very materially, despite the
indisposition of the railways to place
orders freely for rolling stock, rails
and other equipment. At the south
there is still trouble on account of the
bituminous coal miners strike, which
strengthens the coke market. Re-
sumption of work by several prominent
western steel companies provided more
pig iron furnaces in blast.
Failures this week numbered 200 in
the United States, against 172 last
year, and 16 in Canada, compared with
10 year ago."
Bradstreet's says: TRADE, crop and
industrial developments have been
generally favorable this week. Distri-
buttons on fall and winter trade ac-
count has enlarged at most markets,
the corn crop has progressed another
week toward final maturity, which,
however, this year is later than usual,
and several industries hitherto greatly
depressed or operating on short time,
have resumed running full. The in
dustrial situation is slightly less
strained than 1T was, and the beef
strike is now ended. Iniron and steel, past
and prospective price reductions have
encouraged inquiry, consumption has
finally overtaken production and
stocks of crude material are smaller.

OUR CAPTIVE FAWN
EXPERIENCES WITH A LITTLE
CREATURE OF THE FOREST.
Ernest Harold Baynes Writes of Its
Many Interesting Traits-Queer
Antics INDUCED L. When
at Play.

One morning last May guide, look
ing from the window of his cottage upon
q broad green slope of the Blue noun
tain forest, saw white-tailed doe, with
her little spotted fawn. But the fawn
was limping and, as he could not keep up
will: his mother, he bleated plaintively,
and back she came to him, looking him
over with her large, mild eyes, as though
to find out why he Jagged behind. Then
the guide saw that one of the slim hind
legs was broken just above the ankle
and. fearing that the helpless youngster
might fall victim to fox or wildcat,
he captured it and brought it in. 1t took
readily 70 q baby's bottle, and for many
days he kept it in box where it could
neither run nor jump. 1t was sensible
little creature, and kept its injured limb
well off the ground and as the leg hung
straight down the ends of the broken
bone soon knit and the fawn was able
to touch his little black hoof to the floor.
Then it was that his benefactor, hold
ing him tight in his arms, drove five
miles across the mountains and turned
the baGy over to me. The little thing
limped badly when he was set down on
the barn floor, but we gave him a soft
bed of hay in one of the stalls, and he
soon lay down to rest. When he got up
again he seemed better, and. as he was
hungry, he let us know it by bleating
very gently and by looking toward US
eagerly with his big, soft brown eyes.
When held the bottle out to him he
knew at once that his food was there,
but as he took the nipple in his mouth
he instinctively punched me with his
hard little head, just as he would have
punched his mother had he been taking
his dinner with her. After drinking
pint of milk he nibbled few bits of
grass and lay down to rest again.
He was a wonderfully beautiful crea-
ture. His glossy coat was reddish brown
in color, with striking white spots on
the neck, back and sides. His legs,
which were lighter in color, were slen-
der, sinewy and graceful, one of them
being marred by a bunch of hard tissue
around the point of fracture. But his
head was his most beautiful feature.
after all. His great gentle eyes were full
of expression and, in combination with
the large, shapely ears, which moved
back and forth in response to every
sound, showed pleasure, excitement,
fear and other emotions, almost as plain
ly as a human face could show them
HIS disposition was affectionate, and
he never tired of licking ones face and
hands when he got the chance, making
them feel as though they had received a
coat of glue.
OF course, l was prepared to believe
that the white spots on his otherwise
brown coat were there for some good
purpose, but they looked so conspicu-
Gus as he stood in the barn that l could
scarcely believe that they were part of
q scheme Of protective coloration. But

SECURE BIG SUM.
Robbers Hold Up Treasurer of an
Ohio County and Escape
with $4,000.

Pomeroy, O., Sept. 1O.-Two men en-
tered the Office of County Treasurer T.
]. Chase Friday and while one of them
covered Chase with a revolver the
other went through the safe, securing
$4,000. They then locked Chase in the
vault and made their escape. Chase
was found three hours later by his wife
and released. Several thousand dollars
in gold in the safe was overlooked by
the robbers. The sheriff and his depu-
ties were at the fair grounds and all
the city officers except the marshal
were out of town at the time of the
robbery. 1t is believed that the rob-
bers escaped in buggy and no trace
of, them has been secured. All nearby
towns have been notified and officers
are securing the county for the rob-
bers. The county carries $4,000 in
surance against robbery.

DANGER POINTED OUT.
Judge Parker Urges Democratic Ed
itors to Work to Eliminate
Party Factions.

Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Judge Par
on Thursday received pledges of loyal
support from editors of more than 200
democratic newspapers representing
chiefly the middle west and south
The greeting of the editors to the
candidate was delivered by Charles
w. Knapp, editor of the st. Louis Re-
public.
Mr.. Knapp paid flattering tribute to
Judge Parker in his speech, and assured
him of the hearty cooperation of the
editors in the coming campaign.
Judge Parker spoke to the editors for
about Is minutes. After alluding to the
dignified character of their calling, and
their unquestioned purpose to present
all issues clearly and fairly to the peo-
pie, he proceeded to compare the record
of the democratic administrations of
President Cleveland with the republican
administrations which had preceded and
followed him.
The republicans, he said, had been
guilty of reckless extravaganza. Judge
Parker closed with an allusion to the
Vermont returns, which he admitted
were a warning that unless the demo-
Gratis ceased quarreling among them
selves they could not hope to win. "The
result in Vermont on Tuesday," he said,
''admonished us, and there can be no
harm in giving voice to the admonition
that harmonious cooperation of all and
the elimination of personal, factional
and unimportant differences involving
no surrender of principles are essential
to success"

ST. PETER-LE-POER
HISTORIC LONDON CHURCH TO
BE TORN DOWN.
It Is One of the Few Completely Round
Church Buildings in the British
Empire-Stands on His
toric Ground.

AS there is no opposition to the scheme
of the bishop of London for the demoli-
ton of the Church of st. Peter-le-Poer,
Broad street, it may be that this little
Georgian edifice will be RACED to the
ground. Unlike the Church of st. Mary,
Aldermanbury, which was threatened
by the bishop a short time ago, st. Peter
le-Poer has no striking features to rec
ommend it for protection. 1t has no in
teresting historical associations; it is not
beautiful church; it:snot an old church;
it was not built by Wren; and final
ly it is not even useful church. In fact,
the building has one, and only one, claim
upon British regard. 1t is one of the
very few completely round churches in
the British kingdom. and probably the
only round church built so late as the
eighteenth century.

ST. Peter-le-Poer back to Norman times

the Friars," the wide unbuilt lands be-
hind st. Peters were allotted to the
mendicant Augustinian friars, and the
earl of Hereford founded their priory
there. In the year 1854 the priory church
was rebuilt on an enlarged scale. Its
east end extended to Broad street, and
the little church of St. Peter-le-Poer
nestled in the angle between the choir
and the south transept, very much as st.
Margaret's shelters beneath Westmin-
ster Abbey. In 1475 the priory church
was again wholly or partly rebuilt.
The appearance of Broad street at this
period can be imagined, with the aid of
Wyngrerde's bird's-eye view of London,
made in the time of Henry VIII, where
ST. Peters is seen, small and snug, at the
foot of the great and beautiful priory
church, whose graceful tapering spire
rose at the intersection of choir and nave
and transepts.
Broad street was at the height of its
glory, architecturally, in those days,
but since then it has fallen on evil times.
The Reformation robbed it of the great
priory church, whose choir, chapels and
chapter house were all torn down by the
son of Sir William Powlett, afterwards
marquis of Winchester, to whom the
crown had granted them. The tombs of
royalty and nobility innumerable which
sheltered within the old priory church
were ruthlessly destroyed, and all that
Broad street had to show in exchange
was the new Powlett's Inn, or Winches-
ter house, whose successor is now well
enough known to the company-promot-
ing world.
st. Peters church, however, bravely
survived all these changes. 1t was too
mean and small to arouse the avaricious;
therefore it was permitted to stand, and
thus share the good fortune of the nave
of the great priory church, which had
been given to the Dutch Protestants by
Edward vi. as place Of worship, was
known as Jesus Temple, and still re-
mains behind st. Peters to-day, one of
the most splendid architectural relics
of the medieval cities.
BY further good fortune st. Peter-le-
Poer also escaped destruction in the
great fire of 1866. Yet at last its hour was
come. AS already noted the church jut-
ted out into the roadway of Broad
street at an awkward angle which mar
rowed the thoroughfare. It's fate was
sealed, and in 1888 the old-world build
ing, with its curious cupola-crowned
tower and turret, its Gothic windows and
debased Renaissance porch, was de-
molished.
In it's place rose the present plain
building, finished in 1892, and built fur
Their back from the street. Its only arch
itectural merit, as has been observed, is
the fact that its internal plan is entirely
circular.
st. Peter-le-Poer is so-called not. as
Stow fancied, because ut was aforetime
a poor parish" but from popular cor
ruption of "parvus," which this edifice
was always styled in medieval docu-
ments.

BUTCHERS STRIKE ENDS.
Men Ordered to Resume Work in
stockyards Plants at Chicago
old Wages Prevail.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The executive
board of the union butcher workmen
Thursday evening abandoned the strike
against the meat packing plants and or
dered the members back to work.
The terms under which the men re-
turn to work are the SAM as offered by
j. Ogden Armour last Saturday and
which the men rejected by referendum
vote. They are in substance that the
old employees shall be reinstated as fast
as possible, being given preference when
vacancies occur; that the wages of
skilled butcher workmen will remain
the same as before the strike, and that
there will be no discrimination against
any man because of his connection with
labor organization.

one cay, after his leg was well enough
to permit him to run about a bit, took
him gut into the fields. One of these
fields was abloom with oxeye daisies,
and Is the fawn stood among them they
at once suggested reason for the spots
upon his coat. l half closed my eyes,
and there was no fawn at all; he was a
patch of white flowers, like hundreds Of
similar patches in the same field. Since
myriads of daisies and other white flow
ers are blooming at time when fawn
is young and helpless. it seems that Ma
ture seeks to protect it from its enemies
by making it resemble patch of these
flowers. I took photograph of my
fawn in the daisy field, and the result
was very interesting. The legs and body
of the little creature melt away into the
grass. while the white spots stand out
conspicuous, like the daisies which sur
round them.
In front of the stall in which kept
the fawn l placed a barrier four feet
high, and to my establishment, a few
days after his leg was we'll, he leaped
w.,
alighted on the floor of the barn. And
yet perhaps this is not to be wondered
at when we consider that his father or
mother, hard pressed, could clear q
height of from eight to nine feet, and DOS
sibly more.
Every evening we take the deer out
for a run over the hills, using a bot
tie of milk to coax him back to the
barn after he has had his exercise.
Sometimes it looks as though We had
seen the last of him, as he disappears
going at full speed over the brow of a
hill perhaps half mile away. Then
some one shouts: Here he comes!"
and we see him coming, like a brown
streak, tail up and ears laid back, ris-
ing like bird at every rock and bush
in his path, checking his speed as he ap-
proaches us, and breaking into brisk,
elastic trot, which nothing but q deer
can initiate.
A week or two ago noticed him dis
play a very curious taste. Twas cutting
up raw beef for my wolves, and the fawn,
which was loose, sauntered up and,
seizing piece weighing a pound or
more. carried 1t OF and began to eat 1t.
Thinking that tais was too much meat
for baby, I took 1t away from him, bu.
I offered him a few small pieces, which
he ate with every indication Of enjoy
