WOMEN AS THE FLOWER

The wit Of Nine. Duse is well illus
trated by the following anecdote: The
famous tragedienne was one of sup.
per party, and the talk ran on woman
suffrage: A gentleman slyly suggested
that, Of course, women could not ex-
pect equal rights with men. oman was
made first, = he said, "and woman
sprang from man" "Quite so,', re-
natural for the flower to come after
the stem, but surely you do not call
that an Indication Of inferiority9"

weekly Review Of Trade will say:
Some trregularity is noted i'm trade re-
ports for the last week but not more than
is seasonable and mercantile collections are
generally prompt. A little conservatism re 70
sarding forward business in some industries
may be attributed to high prices, although
the greatest strength appears in building
material and preparations for structural
work are beyond precedent The few minor
strikes do not seriously interfere with prog
ress, and thus far the only noticeable ef-
tect OF the coal controversy is the un-
usually large demand for this season Of
the year for fuel in all markets and she
disposition OF some merchants in the viCin-
ity of the anthracite mines to allow stocks
TO become depleted. Unless some amicable
result attends the meeting Of March 10
these dealers will provide wholesalers and
manufacturers with much urgent business.
There is little idle machinery In any of the
manufacturing industries and contracts Tor
distant delivery come forward freely, eN-
cept at the textile mills where purchases
are chiefly for immediate requirements.
Prices of commodities rose slightly during
February, Duns index number being lO40
l01, 939 a year ago. Railway earnings con-
tinue to make striking comparisons with
last years figures the increase during Feb
ruary amounting to A.3 per cent. Foreign
commerce at this port for the last week
showed an increase in exports OF sZyo 655
over the same week last year, while i'm
ports decreased S7l,695 81,
Seasonable conditions continue to prevail
in the hide market, poor quality of oneF-
ings attracting little attention, yet prices
rule steady. Leather is quiet and steady,
support constantly appearing as consumers
require shipments. New England shoe
shops are concluding supplementary spring
contracts and new business is rather quiet,
but the situation is considered healthy

In Lineup.

In Lineup.
AMES, la March 9.-(Special Base ball
matters at the Iowa State college are now
beginning TO assume more definite form
season. Since the weather has warmed
up the candidates are enabled TO get out
Of the training shed and have been prac-
ticing on the campus. Captain Parsons
has not been able 10 definitely pick a team
from the large number of candidates, but
material before him. II now appears GER
tain that the team this year will be made
up largely OF new and untrted players, as
only three or four OF last years team are
back again this season. and even those who
played as substitutes last year. But with
about eighty candidates there seems to be
no good reason why first class nine can
not be selected. But with an entirely new
bunch Of players there exists a feeling Of
uncertainty as TO what the outcome of the
seasons work will be.
Up to this time manager has not been
elected and a coach has not been secured,
though Il Is expected one will be engaged
within the next week. When these ar
rangements have been completed II is hoped
that team will be selected Immediately
and practice begun I'm earnest. Preparations
are going forward TO get the diamond IN
shape so that practice can be INDUCED IN
more freely than has been done up to this
time. Prof Byers has been arranging for
a schedule and a number of practice games

hotilla on the English coast last night

that the British warships along the
coast did not detect them"

this interest never flags to the end of

DENIED by some hidden power to unre'

ingenuity and resourcefulness, carries
: lively interest until the international
