TRADE CONDITIONS.
Bradstreet's Optimistic About the Sit.
uation-Adyance Orders Slow.

New York City.-Some ~irregularity is
noted in trade reports for the past
week, says Dun's Review, but not more
than is seasonable. A little conserva-
tism regarding forward business in
some industries is noted, and is at
tributed to high prices. Bradstreet's
also says that new business for far
off account, such as for fall and spring
of next year, is rather slow to present
itself pending future trade and crop de-
velopment. OF the present situation
the following optimistic view is given:
Spring jobbing trade is as active as
ever, exceeding LAST year at nearly III
markets; winter wheat crop reports
are excellent; prices, except Of some
country produce, wheat and flour
among breadstuffs and bleached cotton
goods, show notable strength, and
building activity, which is of large
volume, goes on without a break, offer
ing an opening for labor employment
rarely if ever before witnessed. Indus.
try is active and mills, furnaces and
factories are all pushed to fill deliv-
cries.

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA
Black Sp1otches All Over Face-Affected
Parts Now Clear as ~Ever-Cured by
the Cuticura Remedies.

About four years ago l was afflicted
with black s%plotches all over my face and
a few covering my body, which produced
a severe itching irritation, and which
caused me a great deal of annoyance and
suffering, to such an extent that | was
forced to call in two of the leading ply
sicians of my town. After thorough ex-
animation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for ;he length of one year, but the
treatment did me no good. Finally my
husban purchased a set of the Cuticura
Remedies, and after usi1e the contents of
the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in
connection with tie Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. l continued tie use of he Cuti-
cura Remedies fer six morths, and after
that every splctch as entirely gone and
the affected parts were left as clear as
ever. The Cutlcura Remedies not only
cured me of that C-eadful dise-se, eczema,
but other complicated troubles as well.

New York City.-First making his
wife a prisoner in a bathroom, Louis
Nosser, a race track man, shot and
killed Miss Stella Reynolds, of New
Orleans, an actress, who was a guest
at his home, and then killed himself.
The murder and suicide was the Sc
quence of a stormy scene when Miss
Reynolds called at the Nosser home to
take Nosser to task for refusing to go
to Europe with her as he had agreed
to do.
During the argument which followed
Nosser swallowed laudanum. Both
women forced him to take an emetic
immediately and the poison did no APP
parent harm. Miss Reynolds then re-
lnaiEed with Mrs. Nosser all night.
In the morning. while his wife was iii
the bathroom. Nosser turned the key
and went to Miss Reynolds room.

phoned to the Office of the apartment
house and told q maid who answered
her ring to hurry to the apartment an

New York City.-A contractor of

The statement created a stir when

Nine men are killed every day in
New York." he continued, Sin accidents

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-

ARMED MOB ROBS BANK
T&antv-hve Men GET $432,500
From a Moscow Institution.
ESCAPE WITH THEIR LOOT

The Credit Mutual Bank in Heart of
the City Robbed in Broad Day
Light in a Manner That Was Ex-
ceptionally Daring - Guards Seized
and Disarmed.
Moscow, Russia.-The Credit Mutual,
n of the largest banks in Moscow,
was robbed by masked men at dusk,
the robbers getting S432, 800. Circum-
stances raise the suspicion that the rob-
berry was committed under the diree-
ton of some n at present or previous
ly employed in the institution.
The bank is in Ilinka street, in the
heart of the city. The last of the clerks
had just departed, leaving a guard OF
three men inside, while under the coy
cred driveway outside were a police
man and the house porter. The street
was crowded with people hirrying
homeward. According to the story of
the guards they were suddenly con
fronted with revolvers in the hands of
twenty masked men, who had entered
silently by the main door, which had
been locked when the office force left
the building.
After a command to the guards to
hold up their hands not a word was
spoken. The guards were quickly
bound and gagged and thrown into a
dark corner. The robbers then took pO-
sitionS at all the entrances, and the cur-
tains of the windows were lowered.
The chief of the robbers, who directed
the operations of his associates by ges-
lures, showed thorough familiarity with
the location of the vaults. When all
was ready he went to the heavy, burg
lar proof safe and with a few whirls of
the knob threw the combination of the
lock, the heavy doors swung open and
the treasure of the bank was revealed.
The plumber, consisting of gold, sill
yer and notes, was speedily thrust into
sacks. When not a kopeck was left the
robbers departed as silently as they
came, making their exit through the
main entrance, leaving no trace behind
them. They had beer in the bank less
than half an hour. Twenty minutes
later Il of the guards succeeded in
freeing himself and gave the alarm.
The policeman and house porter, who
had been standing in front of the bank
throughout, said they had seen no one
enter or leave it. An immense crowd
was attracted to the scene by the news
of the robbery.

Lynches a Negro After a Federal Stay
Was Granted.
Chattanooga, Tenn.-Ed. johnson, a
negro, was taken from the Jail here by
a mob of seventy-five men and hanged
to a beam of the county bridge over the
Tennessee River.
The rope broke, the negro's body fell
and the mob quickly riddled him with
bullets. Sheriff Shipp and the jailer
were locked in a bathroom while the
mob secured the prisoner.
Johnson was to have been hanged
the day on which the lynching occurred
for an assault upon a white woman,
but the United States Supreme Court
granted a stay of execution, and this
action served to enrage the citizens of
the city.
At 1915 p. m. seventy-five deter
mined men assembled at the Jail and
gained admission. Overpowering the
sheriff and his deputies they secured
the prisoner and quietly led him to the
bridge. The mob was composed of
men of mature years.
Washington, D. C.-The lynching at
Chattanooga, Tenn, of the negro, Ed.
Johnson, after an appeal had been
granted him by the United States Su-
preme Court, is an act in contempt of
the court probably without precedent
in its history. The question of pro-
ceedings by the Federal Government
against the leaders of the mob who
lynched Johnson is being considered
by the Department of Justice.

Can't Find Any Felonious Intent.

New York City.-In a brief which he
filed with Judge O'Sullivan in the
Court of General Sessions District At
torney Jerome holds that the giving Of
political contributions to political par
ties by officers of insurance companies
was not a crime, because it cannot be
shown that such payments were made
with felonious intent.
To be larceny, Mr.. Jerome says. such
appropriations of policyholders' money
would have to have been made, under
the Penal Code, with intent to deprive
or defraud the true wner of his prop
erty, or the use and benefit thereof"
Mr.. Jerome is of the opinion, as he
says in his brief, that that was not
the case in the political contributions
from the insurance companies.
