not above taking neighbor's dog for
an automobile ride. and the way the
women take their own parcels home

make New York sisters eyes open.

her eyes.
"A much more important position
has been awarded to me, with a cor
responding increase in emolument,
replied General Garden with more OF
dignity than of pride. Jessie threw
her arms around her fathers neck
and spoke tender words of congratula-
tion.
1--WE will talk no more of money
and other gloomy things" she de-
clared with a laugh which brought the
roses to her cheeks. 81 am going to
play for you.
Listen to this. papa!" She ran her
fingers over the keys of the piano.
The liquid notes swelled into the in
toxicating melody of gypsy dance
and quiveIed with the trilling of birds
among the trees. For half an hour
Jessie played. Then she began spir-
tied recital of her exeriences abroad.
She mimicked the staid old German
professors, and the general laughed
until the tears coursed down his
cheeks.
General Garden made an early ap-
pointment with James Blake and was
promptly admitted to the private of

In those figures there are billion
and a quarter reasons. each one dol
lar of gold standard ?alue. why the
savings banks depositors of the
United States know their incomes of
the present give them not only a bet
ter living, but a larger surplus of
money left over. If their cost of liv-
ing had outstripped their Increased
savings they would NOT be adding to
their savings, as their deposits prove
they are They would be drawing up
on them, cutting them down. just as
in 1894, when their incomes were
falling more heavily than the cost OF
living; they knew. without any aver
ages or percentages or expert stats
tics. that they had to call on their saw
ings banks accounts to help out their
incomes.
No one need have any apprehensio
that the American people will get
fooled by the Democratic talk of the
cost of living eating up their increased
earnings as long as the American peo-
Dle's bank books show them increased
balances, just as they were not fooled
in 1894 by the Democratic talk of
their cheap cost of living. for they
were pulling out their savings every
week to pay bills that their earnings
could not pay. Furthermore. as we
have remarked before. the savings
banks depositors of the United States
may be relied upon not to get fooled
on another phase of this Democratic
appeal for their votes. They know
that the Democratic platform adopted
at ST. Louis makes no mention of
maintaining those savings banks de-
posits on gold standard basis. They
know Judge Parker himself. the Dem
ocratic party's candidate for Presi-
dent. twice voted to put those savings
banks deposits on silver basis. when
he gave his ballot in 1896 and 1900
to Mr.. William J. Bryan.
The savings banks depositors OF the
country (there are more than 100000
accounts) are no more likely to take

ment that having more savings in the
bank they are worse off than when
they had less, than they are to vote

New York, June 13.-R. G.. Dun &

Current trade conditions are without
change and collections continue slow
as a rule, but there is growing conf
dence In the future, dealers exhibiting
an inclination to prepare for fall and
winter OIL a large scale. There is still
much complaint that the weather is IN
seasonable for distribution and pay
ments are not prompt. Reports regard
ing the building trades are almost uni
formly favorable, structural work in
creasing as the season advances. Rail-
way earnings, now practically complete
for April, show a loss of only 80 per
cent. compared with last year, and sur
pass the corresponding month of any
previous yea The decline in the cost
of living has continued without inter-
ruption since March /. Some evidence
OF weakness is roted in hides, both do

changes in quotations are small. SINH

Went Against Hearst.

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 12.-The
six delegates from Utah to the demo-
cratic national convention will go UNI
instructed. Four of the six. 1t is I'M
derstood, are against Hearst leaning
towards Parker. Two delegates prob
ably will support Hearst.
For some time before the convention
it seemed certain that a factional fight
would be waged over instructions.
With regard to polygamy Brigham H.
Roberts was o~utspoken in demands
that the delegates be instructed to
fight any anti-polygamy plank in the
national platform. Another favored q
plank in the state platform similar to
that adopted by Idaho demanding that
the federal government take into its
owns hands the suppression Of poly
gamy.
1t was decided by leaders to avoid
the question, and so thoroughly was
this carried out that no committee on
resolutions was appointed and no plat
form presented.
Temporary Chairman Tillman d.
Johnson made a plea for an unin-
structcd delegation and said the only
platform the party needed was an
anti-RooSevelt plank.
The delegates are:
Joseph Monsoon, George c. Whitmore,
former Senators Frank j. Cannon and
Joseph l.. Rawlins, S. A. King and
Simeon Hamburger.

LUMBER TRUST BEATEN
Court Decides That Big Combine Is II
legal and in Restraint Of
Trade,

San Francisco. June 1.-THE circuit
court of appeals handed down a de-
cision today In the suit brought by Ar
thur S. Ellis against Inman Paulson &
Co, and others, doing business under
the name of the City Retail Lumber
company at Vancouver, Wash. The
defendants had formed a combination
to control the output OF lumber from
Washington n Oregon and to fix the
price OF the product. The plaintiff
bought from another manufacturer and
then when he sent an order to mem
bers of the City Retail Lumber COM
pany he was requested to pay a fine
OF $3.50 In addition to the market price
of the lumber Inc to give his promise
that in the future he would not pur-
chase lumber OF any firm outside Of
the combination.
This the plaintiff refused to do and
he brought action for damages against
the members OF the City Retail Lumber
company. The circuit court, decided
that the plaintiff had insufficient
for action, but on appeal the
higher court ruled today that the com
bination was an Illegal one, formed in
Vrestraint of trade, n ordered the case
remanded for a new trial.
The court based its opinion on the
decision Of the supreme court In the
Northern Securities case.

CURES BRlGHT'S DISEASE
New York Physician Has Found a
Method Which May Eradicate

New York, June 13.-Believing he has
discovered a method for the cure of
Bright's disease, Professor Winfield
Ayres made q report to the convention
of the American Medical association in
Atlantic City today which startled his
hearers by it's Importance.
Professor Ayres, who is associate pro-
fessor of urology at the Post Graduate
hospitaf in this city. said he had made
experiments which lead him to the be-
lief tina Bright's disease Is durable in
its earlier stages. and that 1t is pos
sible further investigation and expert
ments may end in practically complete
victory over it.
He based his conclusions on ninety
three cases, forty-three of which he
tabulated, and Of those he cured entire
ly nine patients. Twenty-Five cases
showed marked improvement and only
one failed TO respond to the treatment.
Heretofore all treatments have been
by the use of medicine taken by mouth,
and 1t has been found impossible to
send through the blood drugs strong
enough to kill the germs.
Could Not Go Through Stomach.
Through the use OF an instrument
he ipjects the medicines directly to the
kidneys in uch strength as would be
poisonous and cause certain death IL
taken into the stomach. He has found
his patients safe from harm and also
that the action is immediate and per-
manent.
DIR. Ayras asserted that the remark
able feature is the ease with which the
treatment may be administered, and
Without pain or discomfort to the pa
tiaet. The scourge OF Bright's disease,
ne says. can be reduced, IL not eradi-
Gated.
Under the method described by DR.,
Ayres, a catheter is introduced direct

invision or using the knife. To do this.
