SOME WANTS OF WOMEN.

The story in question might be call
ed The Woes of the Model Husband. -
A girl who vowed that she would do
anything rather than be parted from
the dear object of her affections has no
sooner settled the matter once for all
by marrying than she begins TO scold
and trample on the poor mans head.
Her spouse is sent on thousand err
rands; not one moment can he call his
own. Countless are the lady's wants,
and her commands keep pace with
them:
DO look for the bodkin. Go and get
some fruit Bring wood TO cook the
vegetables why don't you come and
rub my back instead of standing there
doing nothing? Are my clothes all
right? Where is the scent bottle2 /
want the hairdresser- Where Is my
basket TO put my things in? And my
trinkets2 There, I want my shoes and
my umbrella. Bring me my comb and
the ribbon TO tie up my hair. Get the
looking glass and toothbrush. I must
have a needle and thread You really
ought to look after the stores. the
rainy season will be here in no time .
These and many more are the youn z
wife's behests, the appalling list OF
which might well intimidate those
about to marry. but there Is worse to

WALL STREET.

NEW YORK. Nov 13--Secretary

Government aid was necessary
Secretary Shaw said that he had dis
covered no material change in the

ket under conditions then prevailing.
He said today that he still adhered to
that determination. His chief business
in New York. he said, has TO do with
matters concerning the custom-house

PRAISES W|CKSON,
NOT WHEELER.
Senator Perkins Defends
Berkeley Professor Who
May Lose His Position
TRADE BOARD MEETS

With a prematurity that is without
precedent in such a routine body
United states Senator George c. Per-
kins. General y. P. Chipman and other
members Of the state Board of Trade
have begun the holding Of a wake over
the job OF Professor Z. J. Wickson OF
the department OF agriculture at the
University Of California The rites OF
the distinguished board consist OF au-
gust speeches praising Professor Wick
son as the most erudite of hoemen and
al the same time saying of President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler. who is reported
to be unfavorably disposed toward the
savant of the soil:
He doesn't know chicken from turkey:
Both Latin and Greek he can huently
speak.
But his knowledge OF farming is
murky"
It was Senator Perkins who first
came 70 the wake Of the living Wick
son During the discussion Of rebates,
orange crops and ship subsidies at the
meeting of the board held at the ferry
building yesterday some one remarked
that's Wheeler intended handing Wick
son a lemon as soon as IL was ripe
Some one retold how Wickson, in a
moment OF anguish al university
meeting held in the gymnasium al
Berkeley. had made a sad moan be-
cause the college of agriculture was
called COW college" and had inferred
that the head OF the State University
was inclined TO treat il as if il were
g pasture lot and not worthy of the
fertilizing influence of endowments and
appropriations.
This plant had wounded President
Wheeler. who would have IL understood
that he was a champion of the soil He
IS said 70 have pointed out the profess
sor OF agriculture 10 his hatchetmen
on the board OF regents. This is what
a horticultural member Of the Board OF
Trade described tersely by saying that
Wheeler was raising a lemon for Wick
son.
Tn" said Perkins. Wheeler might
speak Latin and Greek with the best
OF them I dare say he does. but ]
doubt If he knows what lemon is
when il isn't in pie. He may be on
terms OF intimacy with Homer's HAD
and perhaps the Odyssey, but he knows
nothing about farming, horticulture,
viticulture, agriculture or garden truck.
Why, even the president Of this board
our own General Chipman, knows more
about farming than does Wheeler"
General Chipman skillfully avoided
the full force of the dubious compli-
ment by hiding his light under the
bushel OF praise he gave Professor
Wickson-
After solemnly agreeing that should
President Wheeler seek TO interfere
with Professor Wiekson the Board OF
Trade would come TO the latter's pro-
lection, the members resumed the dis
cussion OF routine business. Colonel
John P Irish and Arthur W Briggs
delegates TO the irrigation congress al
Boise, Idaho. reported their observa-
tons
Colonel Irish declared that the citi-
zens OF the Idaho city were languishing
for direct route by rail 70 this city.

FIRST AMERICAN ZOO.

Long before the present Geological
Gardens on the west bank Of the
SchuvlkiI River were dreamed OF there
existed in Germantown & large eollec-
ton of wild animals. II was more than
hundred years ago that Charles VIII
son Pezie. the famous American artist
and founder OF the Academy OF Fine
Arts began 70 organize his zoo on the
extensive grounds surrounding the
Peale homestead IN Germantown
From 1T7e until 1926. the date OF his
death. Peale kept adding 10 his collec-
tion. and his interest in wild animals
was the real stimulus which led TO the
Establishment OF the present zoo" To-
day only the bear pit and cave remain
as q relic OF Peale's menagerie- The

INDIA's JUTE PRoDUcr.

A letter in the London Times from
India states that in the sphere of COM
merce II would De difficult 10 lind any
thing more remarkable than the re-
cent expansion OF the jute t-ade- Prices
have risen TO an unprecedented height
and yet the demand has continued
Jute has not been made dea-er by
any diminution of the supply. az the
production Of the fiber has increased /.
il is solely the other great factor in
price. an enhanced demand, that has
sent UP this cheapest of raw materials
10 the figure which almost suggests
dearness- The exports Of raw and
manufactured jute in 1866 amounted
TO nearly one-7fth of India's total ex-
ports The crop last year was a record
one. and the present seasons crop will
be drawn from 3.z71.400 acres. as
against s.Is7,s5 acres last season
The consumption Of India increased
last year to 721,350 tons. as against
55s.s50 tons in previous years. During
1866 the average price per bale OF 400
pounds was nearly SIS. an enormous
advance on the prices for the previous
I've years. II is reported that the re-
cent high prices are due not merely TO
the demand. but also 10 the general de-
sire 10 restrict the market Of the fiber
70 a shorter period The advance over
last years prices was over 80 per cent.
Fraudulent watering of jute. whicn
not only fllegitimately increases the
weight, but also impairs the value Of
the fiber. has become almost universal
with the extraordinary rise in prices.
There is deliberate adulteration be-
sides, but owing 10 the keen competi-
ton. which forces the mills to buy the
fiber with all the defects or shut down,
the purchaser takes wet and saude5

5ute was - per cent greater last year

last year alone was 81 per cent About

President Prefers Substance of. Hep-
 burr's RaiiKoad Kate BILL
 Washington. Feb ae---p President Roosevelt, in recent talks with sena- tors and representatives has stated that while he Is not attempting to dic- tate the terminoiogy of the railroad rate bill. his preference is that the substance of the Hepburn bill should be kept He has taken occasion 10 say that he cares very little for the form of the bill if the essence is kept There are two or three. minor points as to which he thinks changes may possibly be made with advantage; as for in stance. instead of making a thirty day limit for the time when a regula- tion Is to take effect, to make 1t go in- to effect at any time set by the Inter state commerce commission.
 The President has felt that there are arguments both for and against the proposal that if a stay is granted the railroad shall be required. pending the decision, to pay into court the diff ference between the rates as they ex- ist and as they will exist if the conn mission ruling Is sustained The President has emphasized that the main point is left to the courts. The Hepburn bill itself. the President be- lieves, allows such appeal and so does every other proposed bill in both hous- es.
 The proposal coming from Senators Aldrich, Foraker and others who hold similar views to them rocking to com plete retrial of the case by the courts. both as to the law and the facts, the President does not believe in. He be- lieves as outlined in his speech be- fore the Iroquois CluD last May. that the appeal to the courts should be only to test whether the order of the commission Is fin whole or in part con fiscatory and to test the legality of this order.
 The President is entirely indifferent as to the form of the provisions in the bill so long as the substance is right as set forth herein. The President re- gards this as all contained in the Hep burn bill. but does not care as to the form in which the provisions are put so long as the substance is kept.
