IRON MARKET QUIET.
Much Uncertainty Concerning the
Future still Prevails.

Cleveland, O., April THE Iron
Trade Review discussing market con-
ditiOns in its current issue says:
The uncertainty concerning the exact
outcome of the present negotiations
between producers of Lake Superior
is carried over to next week. the New
York meeting having been postponed
to April T. The development of the
past month have not been such as to
promise any change In the attitude of
the merchant ore firms, and in this
connection it is intimated by large
producing consuming interests that II
there is no association this year, none
need be expected in following years
Meantime further long time ore COLI
tracts are under negotiations, which
viii make the market price of Lake
Superior ore from year to year less
of factor in the iron industry than
ever.
Pig iron is firm at the moment but
with little promise of an early resump-
ton of the active buying of March. In
bessemer a purchase Of 10000 tons ly
the steel corporation at S13.S5 delivered
at Cleveland and LOrain is the feature.
This transaction inconnection with the
heavy output of all corporation steel
works, is thought TO point to the TAX
ing of the As 600 tons of iron for May
delivery covered By the corporations
option expiring April 16s
Steel making pig iron, like foundry
iron, is still being consumed in excess
some activity as has also low phos-
phorus bessemer, particularly in the
east. Foundry iron markets are quiet
and as most buyers are supplied for
much if not all Of the first half and
furnaces have orders taking their pro-
duct for that period, an interval Of
comparative quiet is ahead, with light
expectation OF an immediate change
in prices. Figures given in the Cincin-
natl market report shows that about
50 per cent of the capacity Of southern
coke furnaces is active, also that of
foundry buyers in the central west, IS
per cent of those answering q recent
circular letter have iron enough bought
to carry them to July 1. The remain
der expect to buy a little Few of the
idle southern furnaces. it is estimated
can go in blast on less than 81 ton
advance over the present price Of iron.
The situation is regarded likely, there
fore to remain at A stand for some
weeks so far as prices are concerned
Three furnaces in the Pittsburg dis
trict started this week with four addf-
tfonal to start before July / This
means an increase Of one million tons
a. wear. The effect of the possible
turning of some merchant furnaces TO
foundry iron is to be considered in this
connection.

TO BE HIS OWN MARK HANNA.

1t is to be as we have expected. The
republican campaign this year is to be
managed by Theodore Roosevelt, pEesi-
dent of the United States, in person.
"A slight difference in dignity is still
recognizable between the Office Of
president of the United States and the
office of governor of New York. Hence
while in republican circles it is held to
be entirely proper for Benjamin 3.
Odell to be at the same time governor
Of New York and chairman of the re-
publican state committee, Il not re-
garded as quite right for the president
Of the United States to accept the
place OF chairman of the republican
national committee. A little indirec-
ton is necessary; there must be a
slight yelling of the part which Mr..
Roosevelt will play.
The nominal head of the national
committee, it is now announced, will
be Mr. Cortelyou, late private secre-
tary to the president and now secre-
tary of the department of commerce
and labor. Mr. Cortelyou Is going to
succeed Mr. "Hot Air" Payne as post
master general in the fall, and Mr.
James b. Garfield Is to be the next
head of the department OF commerce
and labor. Ii Mr. Cortelyou resigns
that Office now, Mr. Garfield can sue
coed to 1t at once, and Mr. Cortelyou
can act as chairman of the national
committee until election time, after
which he may return to the cabinet as
postmaster-general.
Many innovations have been intro
duced I'm our government since Mr.
McKinley's death. There has been no
great politician i'm the White House
since Lincoln's time. But the gentle
man who is there now feels great con-
fldence in his own powers as a party
manager, and he is going to try the
risky and unprecedented experiment.
OF personally supervising the details
of his own campaign.
Novelties in politics are always inter-
esting. Mr. Blaine was regarded as a
pretty shrewd politician, and not being
in office he was able to devote good
deal of attention to his own cam
paign in 1884. But he did not avoid
the fatal interview with the Rev. DR..
Burchard. There was never before q
candidate for the presidency, we sup
pose, who was quite SO eager to be
elected as the gentleman who is to be
the republican candidate this year
Can he manage his own campaign
and yet elude all the Burchards who
will lie in wait for him? We shall see.

Al REMARKABLE PET.

Perhaps one of the oldest pets In
Albany is full grown owl owned by
William Hill of No 81 Washington, ave-
nue.. Mr. Hill has farm in the vicin-
ity of Greenbush Heights, and last fall
While gathering the apples from MS
orchard he captured the owl and
brought it home with him.
An owl, when captured after attain
ing It's fun growth, Is considered one
of the hardest birds in the world to
keep alive in captivity. Yet Mr. Hills
owl mas never shown any signs OF PIN
ing It's favorite roost is on the top
OF Il large clock in Mr. Hills place Of
business, where 1t perches for hours
at a time, like Poe'S raven on the mar
BILE bust of Pallas. On this account 1t
has been christened Owl Father Time.
Three or four times during the day 1t
will fly around the room.
Mr. Hill believes that owls can see
much better in the daytime than most
persons suppose, for his bird has no
trouble in making the circuit of the
room without colliding with anything.
Moreover. when piece of fish is left
on bench the owl promptly flies 10 IL
and devours it, AT other times when
hungry the owl will leave his perch
on the clock, fly down to esfoot and
take his station within about two feet
Of his master. where he will cock his
head first on one side and then on the
other in the most comical manner.
When he is given something to eat he
promptly returns to his perch on the
clock.-Albany Press.

BRIDGE" CRAZE IN BROOKLYN.

Bridge" has Brooklyn society IN IFS
thrall. All through the late winter
and spring, the craze has been growing
until now everybody in the fashion,
able sets, the feminine section of lnese
at least, thinks of little else when it
comes to amusements. The passion
mas come to Brooklyn late, but it has
grown rapidly since it came.
lnere is a record of one bridge par
~ on the heights at which very near
~ 100 of the most representative wo-
men of Brooklyn were present. At
this party tables were set literally all
over the house, even the bedrooms on
the third floor of the big mansion
having to be called into service to ac-
commodate the players. The lists of
guests of the parties given lately have
included the most conservative and
the old matrons of Heights society,
The younger element. unmarried girls
and men, very much of the dancing
age, have made dances a secondary
feature this spring. The very best
known Heights men and girls, small
coterie OF them. have formed little
bridge" club and have been playing
once week at each others homes.
Money unlimited has latterly been
laylshed on these entertainments, in
fashion hitherto unknown to Brook
lyn. The most magnificent prizes have
been given. One Heights hostess at
the close OF her party stood In her
drawing room and, as she said good
bye to her guests, presented each with
n huge bouquet of yellow spring bios
SONS, from great mass on side ta-
BILE. 1t had been large bridge party
with costly prizes and this floral touch
by itself, pretty MS it was, increased
the expense vastly.
Summing 1t all zip fashionable
Brooklyn has become bridge mad.
Bridge has taken the place of every
thing 1t has spread from Heights SO
ciety to Hill society, to Slope society.
Each week since even before Lent has
had two, three and four important
bridge parties to its credit. Brooklyn

he take care of the children, sew on
his buttons and cook his own suppers,
but must bear the gibes of the other
sex for his meekness. A Miss GEN
evieve Cooney, before the Woman's Ma
tional league at its recent meeting in
Chicago, rubbed 1t in on the poor mas
culine worm in this fashion: ''Very
little IL known OF this mysterious him,
except that he Is Mrs So-and-so's hus-
band. He is quiet, domestic thing,
without any bad habits, sort of
household pet. At times he displays
an intelligence that is almost human,
just like the family dog. OF him it
might well be said, parodylng the
words of the poet Gray: Full many a
man is born to blush unseen And waste
his sweetness in a modern flat He is
zero in the domestic problem. His
identity was surrendered at the altar,
only a fragment OF it being saved so
that he may still possess the virtue Of
signing checks" And has 1t come 10
this? TO be called a zero" is certain
ly not a soothing figure of speech. But
this is not the worst of 1t. Miss Gen
evieve also turned prophet. The woes
OF the worm are but prelude to those
that await him. Not only is he a
cipher. but the rim is to be removed.
Hear the predictions o" lis feminine
seer: ''The time will cox, when the
clever bachelor girl who marries man
shall not cnange her name. She will
be Miss Dobbins after as well as be-
fore marriage. He will be the one to
surrender his cognomen and be forever
afterward known as Miss Dobbins's
husband" Poor, supperless, button
less, nameless, rimless zero, once
known as imam, proud man." now a
thing that receives even the pity Of
tie spinsters! Possibly even the hum
BILE function of signing checks is TO be
taken from him. But there is one
privilege of which he can never be
robbed. The whisker still is his.
Woman may take all else, but she can
not steal the lace curtains that drape
his manly jaws.

According to the Engineering and
Mining Journal the greater economy
now realized iii the preparation of an
thracite coal for the market is shown
by the statement in the report of the
Girard estate, that nearly 80 per cent
of the coal shipped last year from the
collieries on the estate was Of the
small, or steam sizes. Only few
years ago this small coal went into
the culm piles and, indeed, very con-
siderable quantities of small coal arc
now sent to market, from the working
over and washing out of these old
waste heaps. The figures given in the
Girard report, moreover, are corrobor-
ated by those of such other anthracite
reports as are accessible at present.
The value of anthracite and the limit
ed extent of the supply are beginning
to be realized. Waste in mining and
preparation is being reduced. though
much still remains to be done.
