fractions for the tourist many relics
of. that ancient people, with their
descendants still living according to
their old-time customs. The wonder
full scenery of the picturesque island,
with It's bursting geysers. It's forests
and mountains filled with game for
the sportsman, add an attraction to
the site of the fair which will tempt
many visitor from far-off lands to
make the trip to New Zealand during
the progress of the exposition.
The fair Is to be held in Hagley
Park, Christchurch, Canterbury, be-
ginning in November next and continu-
Ing to some dat in April, 1907 This is
the summer season in New Zealand,
the time of year when her natural
attractions are at their best All ma
lions of the world have been invited
to exhibit at the fair. The object of
the exhibition Is educational, the
colonists desiring to show to the world
the resources and possibilities of the
colony as one of the worlds food
producing factors; to demonstrate its
vast mineral resources and to draw at
tention to picturesque and unrivaled
scenery, its thermal offered to sports
men. A further object is to bring to
the notice of the more Industrial ma
tions of the world the great field
offered by New Zealand as an outlet
for enterprise and for the use and
consumption of all manner of up-to-
date appliances and manufactures
The imports of New Zealand in 1905,
at least three-fourths of which are
manufactured goods, amounted in
value to $66,00Q,000. OF course, Great
Britain, the home country, furnished
the great bulk of this trade. The
Commonwealth OF Australasia. was
next in the list and following her
came the United States, which furnish
ed goods to the value of $S,OOO,OOO,
When it is considered that this great
expenditure for foreign supplies is
made for the use of colony with q
population of but $4,000 persons it
can be readily seen what a rare op-
portunity is offered for exploiting New
Zealand with up-to-date manufactures.
Exporters of every land on the face of
the globe will be deeply interested in
investigating the trade possibilities of
the country and 1t is confidently antici-
pated as we'll as in bringing to the at
tention of the world the advantages
possessed by the island as a trade
center for the industrial world.
Special arrangements are being made
with the steamship companies trading
to New Zealand under which exhibitors
will obtain special rates of freight on
exhibits. The exhibition buildings will
be constituted bonded warehouse
and, while all goods sold will be charg-
ed the regular rate of duty, those re-
shipped free of duty. The ordinary
charge for Space will be from 2shill-
ings $50 cents) square foot, the
minimum charge being $5.25, 25 per
cent payable on application, rs per
cent on allotment and the balance one
month before the opening of the fair.

usually have medallions scattered on
pretty freely, but with anything that
seems like elaborate trimming made

form, for that matter-divides hohors

and those dresses on which both are
inextricably tangled up are probably
best liked of all.
Girdles of soft, "pully" ribbon are
often made on rather high founda-
ton, two or three widths sewed to-
geMer and draped on, the folds pulled
close. BY way of trimming, other bits
OF the ribbon are pulled and twisted
into the semblance of some flower, and
set on. rosette fashion.
For commencement gowns. only the
softest, droopiest of ribbon is used.
and that is usually very Wide. Ltui-
sine and messaline and their kin are
the favorites, the same kind used for
that great hair bow.

greatest favorites, and the rose-strewn

MAKE CONCESSIONS.
The Western Passenger Association
Takes up Mileage Question. H.

In response to demand recently
made by associations of travelling
men, representing nearly every west
ern state. the executive committee Of
the Western Passenger association
has determined to try and induce the
railroads to make concessions in mile
age books.
gently the travelling men asked
the association to place a 5,00O-mile
book on sale at 2-cent fiat rate, and
to make it good on all trains. The
committee decided this could not be
done, but that some concessions ought
to be made to the travellers.
The proposition now under consider
alton contemplates the sale of the
present 2,000-mile book for $50, with a
rebate of $780, The present rate is
$50, with a rebate of $3.50. 1t is con-
templated that the present plan ties
up a large sum of money, upon which
the association draws interest at the
expense of the travelling men. The
new plan would cut down the amount
of deposits by so per cent.
Another plan is to reduce the mile
age of the credential book from 1000
to 5000. If this is done it will still
further decrease the large amount of
money which the western travelling
men continually have tied up in rail-
way tickets.

Proceedings to Remove Her.

g A pretty legal fight promises to at
tend the settlement of the estate of
the late Will E. Gheen. who was killed
by a switch engine at the Salisbury
cotton mill on the 18th of January.
Shortly after young Gheen's death his
uncle, Mr.. w. Thomas Gheen, of
Franklin township. administered upon
the estate but later al Asheville wom-
an alleging that she had been married
to the deceased, appeared upon the
scene, and qualified as e~xecutrix.
Should she sustain her claim in the
superior court she will continue to act
as ~ecutri She has already inStitut-
ed suit in the superior court of Bun
combe county for $4,000 against the
North Carolina railroad on account of
Mr.. Gheen's death. An AsheVille spe-
cial says of the case:
Alleging that she never married the
deceased. w. E. Gheen. his uncle, w.
T. Gheen, of Salisbury, has instituted
legal proceedings against Mrs. Stella
Gheen. alias Mrs. Stella Sumner, to
nave her removed as the executor of
the dead mans estate. The whole mat
ter hinges upon whether or not the
woman was married to w. E. Gheen,
and in the hearing of the case which
was held here yesterday the testimony
upon this point was very conflicting
and contradicting.
Mrs. Sumner contends hat she was
married to Mr.. Gheen at Greenville, S.
c.. secretly. November %, last; hat
they agreed to keep it secret for a
time and that later they removed to
Ashville and began housekeeping.
In support Of this a number of wit
nesses testified at the hearing before
the clerk of the superior court yes

]. w. Mathews. of Lexington, KY,
stated on oath that he was a witness
to the marriage the evening named,
and Mrs. Gheen related with much
circumstantitiality of detail how she
was driven to residence of a man h
believed to be a minister in a closed
carriage and there married. Two men
then testified Gheen had introduced
the woman as his wife.
On the other hand the petitioner in
troduced documentary evidence to

clusion of the hearing the clerk OF

Mrs. sumner is the proper person TO
administer the estate of the deceased;
that the petition be dismissed and that
the petitioner pay the costs.

STRINGENT Money.

Wal streets speculative community
is mich disturbed over the prevailing
strilgency in the local loan market,
because tight money has nipped in the
bid extensive plans for an active bull
demonstration in the current month.
It is. indeed. unfortunate. for specula-
tors who nave stocks on their hands
that they cannot so govern the money
supply in this country as at all times
to nave quotations for loans in their
favor. The fact tina they are unable
to control the none market has Great
ed much pessimism among them, and
they now express for publication their
belief that the bank presidents have
entered a far reaching conspiracy to
deprive them Of their rights in the
matter of borrowing. They repeat the
old charge that the Clearing house in
situations are manipulating money
rates in order to enforce stock market
liquidation and to place an insur-
mountable obstacle in the way of high
er quotations for securities. The fact
is hat the banks in the last ear have
been altogether too generous with
spectators.
Thirty per cent call money and an
unusually stiff time money market are
not due to manipulation of rates by the
DdIlhS. lISIe Is al dUSOlutc scarcity
OF funds at this center available for
lending purposes. owing to the active
demand for one in all parts of the
country in connection with industrial
expansion, to the increasing govern
ment receipts over expenditures and
to the large amount of money which is
tied UP in speculative operations in the
stock. cotton and cereal markets and in
real estate. Last Saturdays bank
statement showed a deficit in reserve
above legal requirements of more than
$500, 900. due to a large decrease in
cash and an expansion in loans, the
latter item reaching the tremendous
total of s1.032,709.40O a~gainst)a cash
item of s24S.299,7O AS deposits are
cash holdings. and as the percentage
of reserve is below the legal limit. the
necessity for drastic contraction in
loans may readily be appreciated.
Some relief doubtless will be given to
the none market through the avenue
of golden imports. but according to the
belief Of the best Informed bankers the
receipts of the precious metal from
abroad will not be large enough to
bring about an easy market for loans
in the near future. At this season the
demand for nancy from interior points
in connection with the spring trade
and the PLANTING season in the agri-
cultural sections Of the country is
heavy. n this year the requirements
of out-of-town cities are larger than
usual. owing to the activity in all lines
of business. If legitimate business
should suffer from the scarcity of
funds. the secretary Of the treasury
doubtless would increase government
deposits in national banks. particular
" as h treasury is now in a strong
position: but If is not likely that he
will consider the appeal OF specula-
tors who merely wish to increase Their
obligations in Wall street. More elastic
ity in our currency SYSTEM would help
the none situation in this country

TO REMEDY MONEY EVILS
Plan Under Discussion to Establish
Bank i'm New FORK With Capital Of
$50, OOO. OOO.

New York, April 13-It was learned
today that a plan is under discussion
among certain bankers in this city to
establish a bank with a capital of
100000 for the purpose Of regulat-
ing money rates n preventing per
iods of money stringency and accom-
panying high rates Of interest. The
movement was given some impetus by
the recent stringency IN the money
market. The name Of the National
City Bank was mentioned in connec-
ton with the plan and one suggestion
was made that the stock Of that bank
be increased by SD, 900 600 or SCI, OOO,-
600 in order to give it a control Of the
financial situation in this city sufficient
to prevent the recurrence Of periods of
extreme high rates for money Another
suggestion was that a trust
be organized under the direction Of
the National City Bank. Officials OF
the bank declared, however, hat they
were not taking more than a pass ng
interest in the various plans. !
Some financial concerns which have
taken an interest in the movement az !
sert that such an institution might e.
ercise considerable control over re

tent Of regulating imports and eXptts

ever, said that the only cure forjuch
