bune says: 1.-The boy in the store must

ideas with refernce to the boy who
comes into business nowadays is that
he cannot be too well equipped for 1t
In mental training; he cannot be too
earnest, capable or industrious. He
finds his employers always on the

partments or superintendent. 1t mas
depended on the boys, of course. They
may have had small opportunity for
education, but they have profited by

way. The fact is that the chances for
the right sort of boy were never as
good before as they are to-day"

More Elaborate This Year than Ever
Before.
The inaugural ball at Washington
Saturday, March 4, in grandeur will
eclipse any of its predecessors. 1t will
be in the Pension building. which will
be transformed into a Spanish court and
decorated on a magnificent scale. There
will be a scheme of adornment in cleo
tric lights, the colOrs being green, Grim
son and gold. These will blaze on almost
every foot of space on the walls and
ceilings There will also be elaborate
floral and flag decorations. The custom
of having the President and Vice Presi-
dent and their wives promenade around
the dancing floor will be omitted. This
walk has resulted in a great crush, and
the presidential dignity has been ruffied
and the presidential attire has been
roughly handled in the efforts of the
crowd to come in close touch with them.
Instead. the guests of honor will stand
on a platform where everyone can see
them. Two bands will furnish music.
Tickets will cost So per person. Only
the guests of honor, cabinet officers and
ambassadors from foreign countries will
be on the free list.

the Indianapolis district. The father
was man of strong parts and Of Illus
trious ancestry.
In his youthful days Lewis Wallace
displayed a tendency to neglect the op-
portunities which his fathers position
gave him. He hated books and schools
and remained at school only so long as
It was impossible to avoid. In this
manner he acquired but little real
foundational education.
Previous to the outbreak Of the Mex
lcan War Wallace had undertaken the
study of law. When the call for sol
diers came he was among the first to
enlist. He was not yet 20 years old,
but his services were so meritorious
that he came back from the war lieu
tenant At the close of the war he
marriedd Susan A. ElstOn, a widow Of
a pioneer of CrawsfOrdsyille. Their
tastes were congenial, Mrs. Wallace
herself being an author who achieved
success in several books which she has
published
Activity In the Civil War.
At the beginning of the Civil War
be was appointed adjutant general of
Indiana and soon after colonel Of the
Eleventh Indiana Volunteers. He
served In West Virginia and became
brigader general Of volunteers in Sep
tember 1861. He commanded at Don
elson, was made major general, led
division at Shiloh and prepared the
defense Of Cincinnati in 1868, saving
the city from capture by General Ed
mund Kirby Smith. Later he saved
Washington from capture.
During the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison he was appointed terri
torial governor Of New Mexico. From
1881 to 1885 he was minister to Tur-
key. AS a diplomat he was eminently
successful.
"Ben-Hur" was written in 1880, af-
ter Robert G. Ingersoll had given Cen
eral Wallace his first impetus toward
acquiring the biblical lore necessary to
its creation. His other works were:
Life of General Benjamin Harrison"
1888; "The Fair Cod" 1888; "The
Royhood of Christ" 1880; "The Prince
of India" 1893: ''The Wooing Of Nal
katoon," 1893.
Besides his widow, General Wallace

ELEcTRIcs INTO NEW YORK.
Trains Will Run so Miles an Hour, at
Two Minutes Headway.

The plan to have steam railroad trains
supplanted by ones propelled by cleo
tricity in running into New York City
by the Central-Hudson railroad will be
gin in two years. The stretch of forty
miles between Croton and the Grand
Central station will be the place for its
beginning. There will be no grade cross
ings and trains in and out of the big
railroad shed in New York will travel at
City miles an hour and during the busy
hours of the day they will run on two
minute headway. Some of the way, to
accommodate suburban traffic, there will
be eight tracks. The new electric loco
motive will be of 5000 horse power
where the steam engine has 1000 now,
and they can be stopped at high speed in
a much shorter distance. White Plains,
IN the Harlem division, will also have
its trains hauled by electricity. All the
railroads of the country are moving to
change from steam to electricity and in
ten years it is believed there will not be
a steam locomotive in use in the country.

Bradstreet's commercia
| New York.

try's business conditions:
Spring jobbing has at last begun to
expand, and reports of Improvement
come from the West, Northwest and
far West, this despite severe winter
weather, which has in the case of the
South operated to check the develop
ment noted last week. Dry goods,
and lumber at wholesale have all sold
better of late, and certainly in larger
volume than at this date year ago,
which latter period, however, saw
somewhat of halt occurring. Cold
weather, snow, and sleet have inter-
fered with river transportation, and
with the telegraph service throughout
the entire South.
Industry remains as active as here
tofOre, and the iron trade confirms the
best reports heretofore made In sta
tistics showing production and con-
sumption the heaviest ever recorded.
Collections are still a subject of COM
plaint, apparently feeling the effect of
weather conditions dulling retail distrt
button, which In few lines, however,
such as shoes, rubbers and heavy wear
goods, has been favored by the incle-
ment weather. Money is still phenom-
enally easy, and temporary check
to the heavy outgO of gold is noted.
Some benefits from climatic conditions
are noted. likewise some drawbacks.

Chicago.


says Of Chicago trade:
Traffic suffered from the protracted
severe weather. the movement Of COM
modities being subjected to further de-
lays at various western points. Trans
portation difficulties are reflected In the
increased loss of operation and smaller
earnings of railroads, but the offerings
of heavy freight are well maintained,
and the outlook has improved for larg-
er passenger carrying.
The same adverse cause also inter-
rupted distributive activity, and retail
trade slightly recedeG In leading lines.
Receipts of farm products and live
stock are seen to be lower, and flour
forwarding also declined, but grain and
provision shipments made little gain.
Values of the leading fOodstuffs and
live stock were firmer, and the packing
houses worked close to capacity. the
demand being stronger for their pro-
duct. Receipts of hides were 3,375,O52
pounds, against 2,636, 500 pounds year
ago.
Grain shipments, 2,434,O29 bushels,
are 54 per cent over those Of the cor
responding week last year. The re-
ceipts aggregated 3,454,9O1 bushels.
against 4,193,495 bushels. Board OF
Trade transactions reached fair vol
ume, and prices advanced over the
closing a week ago, corn and oats be-
ing strongest. Provisions were In good
demand, export sales showing larger,
and prices closed with small gain.
Live stock receipts were 321,377 head.
against POI 1854 head year ago. All
the choice grades were readily market
ed at better prices, hogs and sheep
closing Is cents hundred weight high
er and cattle cents.
Bank clearings, S199, ,606, $50. are 47.6
per cent over those a year ago, when
the week included a holiday. The large
gain to some extent is due to the pay
ments for City railway stock. The
general demand for money has been
steady, and the discount rate for choice
commercial paper was quoted at to
Az per cent. Deposits have reached
their highest record. Bankers are pre-
pairing for a more active use of funds
