Driven to desperation by the many
hold-ups in Flatbush during the last
few weeks which have made it I'M
safe for unescorted women to be

They have armed themselves with
pistols and bottles of vitriol, and
the miscreant who assails them will
be in danger of his life. The ma

assaults and robberies have been

Are you the editor that takes in

timid appealing look on his face.
Eyes, SIR" replied the young man
at the desk. "I can take in any
kind of news. What kind of news
have you?"
"Why, it's this way" said the
caller, lowering his voice. "My wife
gave a small party last night, and |
am willing to pay to have this report
of the affair put in the paper"

the young man at the desk, taking

COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun's weekly Review or
Trade" says
Traffic delays, high money and
some unrest in the ranks of labor
have not yet checked commercial pro-
gress on the whole, although in spec
ial industries or localities that the re-
straining influence of these adverse
factors are felt Some Irregularities
of temperature also provide the
weeks trade reports with less uni
formly glowing descriptions of retail
distribution. Wage earners are agi-
tating for more pay or shorter hours
in several industries, especially in
the railway service Already manu-
facturers and dealers are making
plans for the greatest business on
record in jewelry and other holiday
lines.
A further advance of about fifty
cents per ton in the price of pig
iron is the best evidence of continued
prosperity in that industry.
Improvement in the primary mar
kets for cotton goods has gone SO
far that conservative operators begin
to express a fear that setback will
be encountered through the curtail-
InenC OF consumption.
