GLASS ADV ANCES
JoBBERs HAVE PUSHED PRICES
UP 10 PER GENT ON WINDOW
MATERIAL.
There ls Little Indication That the
Price viii be Lowered for Some
Time - Shortage Of Glass Given as
the Cause Of Advance.

Window glass is rapidly becoming a
luxury. Within the past six weeks the
price Of this article has been increased
not less than forty per cent over the
prices prevailing early in the summer
AT a meeting Of the western glass win.
dow jobbers held in Chicago a week
ago another ten per cent increase was
made. Locals dealers have not re-
ceived formal notice Of this, but expect
1t within day or two. They were ap
prised Of the meeting for the purpose
Of raising the prices.

A Glass Shortage.

The reason for the great rise in the
price of window glass is a shortage of
glass all over the country. Most win
dow glass is blown by men engaged
for that purpose. During the sum mer
months 1t is almost impossible for
them to work because Of the heat.
The glass blowers also have very
strong unions and there Is an agree
ment between them that there shall be
no work during the hot summer
months. For this reason nearly all of
the larger glass factories are closed
down during the summer months
There Is only one manufacturer of
window glass that operates during the
summer, the American Window Glass
company, which controls mechanism
for the blowing of glass. This ma
chine Is patented and the other glass
factories cannot make use of it. The
American Window Glass company is
running at is full capacity, but is not
able to supply the demand, which has
been unusual this summer, on account
Of the great building boom prevalent
all over the west Inasm UGH as there
was not great deal Of window glass
in stock this summer to begin with II
is natural that the price should rise
during the summer months.

price Affects Many.

Jobbers say that the retailers are
not the only sufferers from the short.
age in window glass. The price has
been raised to the jobber just as it has
been raised to the retail trade.
There is little indication that the
price Of window glass will be lowered
for some time yet al least. The glass
factories will not resume work until
October 1, and 1t will require month
for them to get tho market stocked.
After that the prices will in all proba-
bility moderate to some extent.

An Ex-Attachee Writes Interestingly of

which is entirely dead to them, and
it is this that weighs so heavily upon
them Count Pfeil adds that the.
"Blues." or gendarmerie, constitute
the corp d'eiite of the Russian SER
vice, and he declares that they have
to take . fearful oath of Office that,
should occasion arise, they would
spare neither parent, wife nor child,
but would surrender them to Justice.
They carry out their orders with un-
swerving decision and relentlessness,
and are dreaded by all, high or low,

If have given here this account

Peter and ST. Paul Fortress contain
ed in the volume of "reminiscences pub
lished by Count Pfeil several years
ago, it is because it is the most re-
liable description that has ever APP
peared, the Count having remained
very warm friend of Russia since
his return to Germany, besides be-
ing an officer of great distinction.
And then, too, just at present, the
fortress prison founded by Peter the
Great in May, 1903, and in the dun
geons of which the Czarevitch Alexis,
only son of Peter the Great, was put
to death, plays considerable role
in the affairs of Russia.
The Misrepresented Russian Ruler.
No monarch in Europe has ever
been the subject of more misrepre-
sentation than Nicholas H. Writers
who know nothing about him give
free play to their imagination, their
statements being accepted as gospel
truth, merely because no one in au-
thority in Russia takes the trouble
to deny them. Thus just at the
present moment there is being wide
ly quoted in the press of the Old and
New World volume, entitled The
Truth About the Gar" by an au-
thor of the name of R. c, Joubert
who admits that he does not speak

of his enemies and that q pope of
the orthodox church used to lick his
left eye twice day as q preventa-

Anyone who knows the Gar per-
sonally, who is acquainted with his
consort, and especially who recalls
him as he was when counting his wife
in England on the Thames, where she
was staying with her sister, Princess
Louis Battenberg, at the latter's Riv
erside residence, will realize how RI
diculous these stories are. In fact,
the daily licking of the Cars left

comical and extrayagant fairy tales
that has ever been offered for the
consumption of the credulous.
Kaiser's Reception of Prince Ferdi-
nand.
Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria,
whose II-year old son has just been
appointed by his god father, the Gar,
to heutenantcy in the Minsk In
fantry Regiment, has come back from
Berlin with his phenomenally long
nose very much out of joint, for al
though the Kaiser was most hospit-
able, yet he treated him not as SOW
croign, but. as mere vassal of the
Sublime Porte He abstained from
going in person to the railroad sta
ton to welcome him on his arrival,
and at the state ball and other court
functions which took place during
Ferdinands stay at Berlin the latter
was not invited to offer his arm to the
Empress, who was conducted by
the Kaiser himself, the price being
even compelled to yield the pas" to
the Spanish Infant Carlos of Spain,
widower of the late Princess of the
Asturias, brother-in-law of King AL
fonso, and the latter's special ennis
sary to the Emperor. In one word,
the Kaiser was most careful to avoid
offending in any way the suscepti-
bilities of his friend, the Sultan, for
the sake of the latter's vassal, Prince
Ferdinand, of Bulgaria.-MARQU1SE

a. once taken to investigate. rs a num-

Der Of cowboys who had been stsyinR

opinion that all was not right. and Chas.
Glib was sent out to tho Renville ranch
70 learn the status Of affairs. Upon bis
return it was learned that the ranch
