SOCIETY MANlA's VICTIMS.
Now It's the Woodends Who Succunb
 to Desire to Cut a Swath.

Another victim of the society mania has gone to the wall and the w. E.. Woodends are bewailing lost fortune. Last week it was Mrs. Ernest Birdsall of Brooklyn who spends her wealth I'll courting the f1eeting favor of the fash ionables, but the Woodends have not even the satisfaction of knowing they attained the goal. Both MT. and Mrs.
 Woodend fostered social ambitions. He
 was a likeable chap and she a pretty woman. Apparently they had enough money to turn the trick and surely they did not spare 1t in cutting a swath. They broke upon the horizon suddenly bare year ago when at the Boston horse show they bought a high priced blue ribbon brute. The Woodends did not follow the beaten path and make a | try of it in Newport, nor did they do the other and storm the strongholds of society in London.
 The Woodends joined the horse wor- Westbury, L. I. Never did a horse they fell in with the Alfred Wander bilts, the Goadby Loews. Mrs. Burke Roche, Mrs. Thomas Hastings, and lONCIS Ol ilOlSGSs put lllS NOOu- ends never made connections with with this set. Last winter at the New York horse show they shot their last bolt. As they never tried before, this young couple attempted to command public attention. Mrs. Woodends frock vied with the advertised creations" of Miss Morosini and not once did Mrs. Wood- end show the same frock twice. Eff lteen-count 'em-fifteen gowns were worn by her in one week and all were of the costliest order. But frocks,
 horses and money are not necessarily a passport to the smartest set, and the Woodends failed in their pursuit of social position. Other folk have suc- ceeded without nearly such an effort, but the greatest achievement of the as- piring Woodends was a lowing &C., uuaintance with James H. Hyde.-New York Press.

RAISING THE GUARANTEE
Ar. Fowler Finds It Difficult to Place
 All His Friends.

3 MT. B. A. Fowler has finally got into trouble. Good citizens who want to do something to help along the valley lay in ambush for him yesterday around corners and in stairways, and when he appeared took him to task for not having given them an opportunity to put their names down as guarantors for the city's bonds. The best he could do was to explain that he had them on his list and that he was trying to see them all as soon as possible, but there are only twelve or fifteen work ing hours in day and a man can't see everybody in Phoenix in two days. There was no intention of playing favorites and every willing mans name was put down. The more names there are the greater latitude the banks will have in choosing their security.
 Two men were waiting for MT. Fow- Ter at his office in the morning when he got there. One man met him on the street and after asking that his name be put down. asked how it came that he got so big list so quickly. MT. Fowler replied that it was propo- . sition that spoke for itself and all he had to do was to introduce it, where upon the man he was talking with proceeded to give him the best com pliment yet. He said, "Mr. Fowler, l think the people have more confidence in you than they have in the plan, but the plan is all right and I want my

BEAUTY OF SKIN PURITY OF BLOOD Ancient and Modern Ideas on
 Ihe5e Interesting
 Subjects. UP.T0.DATE METHODS For Purifying and Beautifying the Skin, Scalp. Hair and Hands.

Socrates called beauty a short-lIvcd tyranny, Plato privilege of nature, Theocritus, a delightful prejudice, Theophrastus silent cheat, Carneades a solitary Kingdom, Homer a glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of rec ommendatiou in the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even 6 hint of how beauty Is to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease defed. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disfgurations and crimsons the Roman nose with unsight- ly fushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony.
 If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight skin blemishes, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturlDg humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with poisonous clements to be- come part of the system until deathf
 It is in the treatment Of torturing, dis6guring humors and affections of the skin. scrip and blood, with loss oi hair. that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Balloon Descended, Touched a House
 and Exploded.

Paris May 19.-A balloon belonging to the we'll known aeronaut, Captain Surcouf, came down in the Place d'Au- mesnil this afternoon, and the wind drove it into the narrow entrance of a street.
 A moment later it came in contact with the side of house. A flame is- sued from the envelope and then a vio- lent explosion followed, the sheets of flame from which penetrated the open windows of the building.
 Eight occupants of the house were burned or otherwise injured, two of them dangerously. The aeronauts were not hurt.
 The explosion caused a panic among the crowd watching the descent, and a number of persons received slight in- juries.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
 CHICAGO. April 22.-Revision of expert reports making wheat conditions in the Southwest more bearish was largely instru- mental In starting heavy liquidation to-day. July closed < gle lower. Corn Is off $ Q hc and oats h e %c down. and provisions
 For a minute or two at the start in the wheat pit there was an air of uncertainty and prices were about unchanged with July h9kc lower at S5h 9S5h. Subsequently the market collapsed and a decline of one cent or more was experienced in ali delv- cries. Trading became active. correc- tion of a crop experts report of the South west situation, making 1t more bearish. caused considerable weakness on the sup position that western Kansas and western Oklahoma were the portions of the South western territory referred to in the report. Sellers had in the meantime ascertained that the irredeemable portion of the Southwest fields was confined to Texas and western Oklahoma cable dispatch from Liver pool stated that mllers were buying con- siderable Indian wheat for May-June ship ment at the equivalent of s3 cents bush el. Such a contrast with the prices at which wheat could be laid down from here had much to do with the heavy selling pres sure, In addition there was a large increase in Argentine shipments. No heed was paid to crop damage reports from the Ohio val ley and Indiana, the general desire being to liquidate long wheat. Many orders came out. The only demand was from shorts. There was not sufficient buying to cause any great headway and the market con tinued demorallzed the entire session, the close being weak. July sold off to s4 and closed at S4% as4h. May ranged between STA and S9% and closed at SS%. Clear ances equaled 145.9 bushels. Primary re- cepts 230,100 bushels, against 2Ss.500 year ago. Bradstreets reported worlds exports equal to 1.6i5,400 bushels Min neapols. Duluth and Chicago reported l61 cars against 153 last week and 167 year ago.
 Corn was weak in sympathy with wheat. Over a million bushels of May were report ed sold by former bull leader. There was little frmness early, but on the break in wheat liquidation of May corn began and prices went down. The market was inclined to drag and the support scant. July opened unchanged to 1sc higher at 4s% @ 4S%. sold off to 47% and closed at 4sh @ 4Sk. May ranged between 47h and 49h and closed 1hc lower at AS. Receipts. 133 cars, 25 contract
 Pit traders were persistent sellers of dis tant deliveries of oats As result the market ruled weak and lower. The prin- cpal support came from shorts. July opened unchanged to hc lower at 36% @3s E, sold down to 35As and closed at 35ss 036. Re- ceipts. 51 cars.
 Provisions were quiet and in view of the weakness in grains. held comparatively steady. There was some selling on liberal hog receipts. but the market received fair support, July closed Thc lower at 12. 25 July lard a shade higher at 6.75@6.771a and ribs off shade at 6. 52h 96.55.

 NEW YORK, April 22.-Cotton futures in the local market opened rather easy in tone to-day, with first prices at a decline of to F points There moderate line of liquidation and bear pressure was again in evidence. The foreign advices were dis appointing. showing greater weakness than looked for. The receipts were larger than predicted in some quarters and this factor also served to discourage holders. On the other hand, there was good demand for spot cotton. and advices from the spot centres served to encourage outside longs. Shorts were nervous the day wore on, and they took advantage of the lower levels on which to reduce their commitments However, there was an easy tone throughout on the persistent efforts of the bears to depress the market and in the latter part of the day there was disposition on the part of holders to refrain from loading up further. European houses were reported to be selling the market on all advances. while the Southern markets were Inclined to heaviness. The crop news was conflicting although many conservative interests were agreed that 1t is yet too early to make definite predictions with reference to the crop possibilities. The late market was nervous. The in sight for the week was for 1904. 7S.53O for 1903. 1l2 493. for 1902, S3,- 694. and for 1901. s9.O15.
