the price Of coupon soaps.
An advance on cheese was postponed
though a resolution was passed urging
members Of the association to make in
creased efforts TO put cheese on remuner-
ative basls. The question of raising the
price Of sugar was also postponed, as the
state OF the market was uncertain.
The president of the association. Mr.. G.
Keen. said butter and cheese had been at
footed by the continued drouth during the
summer
The rise in jams is TO be attributed to
the failure OF this summers fruit supply,
Foreign oranges and lemons are also very
scarce
Regarding the sugar supply, the Cuban
insurrection occurring just when canes were
ripe has forced America to seek her supply
from continental beet.
Heavy storms in Spain and France have

lynched yether Hujasyik, who has just
been appointed priest Of the parish
Father Hojnsyik is a Magyar, and his
slovak congregation regarded his ap-

AS he refused to resign, the women and
children Of the place, who, It was thought
would be more likely than the men to cs-
cape, attacked the priests home, which
had been barricaded.
For two hours they continued the siege,
and finally battered in the door with heavy
beams Then they rushed in and dragged
the unfortunate priest out into the street.
He had put on his vestments, thinking
they would secure him personal respect,
but the women tore them OF and rolled
him in the mud from one end OF the viii
lage to the other, belaboring him with
sticks till he became unconscious.
Father Hojasyik was conveyed home.
where he recovered. He still refuses to
resign and a detachment Of Hussars and
a company OF infantry are now quartered
