BUSH GOES TO JAIL
 CAN'T GIVE BAIL
ATLANTA MAN HELD IN $1o,ooo BAIL, CHARGED WITH SENDING INTERNAL MACHINE TO MISS M'cARTHY-A SENSATION.

Atlanta, May 10-(Speeial. .)-Fred Bush passed the night in Fulton county jail being unable to give the bond of s10,OOO assessed by Judge Broyles this afternoon, when he bound him oyer on the charge of sending an internal machine to Miss Kate Mccarthy, the package being opened by her mother. As a result the house was wrecked and the mother badly in- jured.
 The hearing in police court today was filled with sensational incidents. small sized panic was caused by the explo- sion of some flash light powder when a photographer for the Constitution took a picture of the court room scene. One woman screamed and came near fainting. The feature of the testimony elicited, however was the statement made by Doo- little that when he was smaller Bush used to rock him in a chair hugging and kissing him. This was admitted with many bushes by the witness.
 Miss Mccarthy told Of her engagement to Doolittle, of the break caused by Doo- little, who wrote her that he did so in order to save her from danger. Doolittle was asked what danger he meant, but through the whole of his stammering tes- timony managed to escape from reply. He seemed dazed, as if he might still be under the influence of the calm, col- lected prisoner at the bar, Fred B~~.
 Bush simply denied any connection with the bomb, or any knowledge of it. The detectives are positive they have the right man and are still at work to dig up sufficient evidence to make the charge of assault with intent to murder stick.

Sphere of Sex.

From the Boston Post.
 Man is a creature of cast-iron habits; woman adapts herself to circumstances. This Is foundation of the moral differ ence between them.
 A man does not attempt to drive 8 nail unless he has hammer; woman does not hesitate to utilize anything. from the heel of a boot to the back of brush.
 man considers a corkscrew abso- luteIy necessary to open a bottle; wom- an attempts to extract the cork with the scissors. If she does not succeed readily, she pushes the cork in the bot tie, since the essential thing is to get at the fluid.
 Shaving Is the only use to which n man puts a razor; a woman employs 1t for cutting eorns.
 When a man writes, everything must be in apple-pe order-pen. paper and ink must be just SO; a profound silence must reign while he accomplishes this important function. A woman gets any sheet of paper, sharpens a pencil with the scissors. puts the paper on an old' atlas. crosses her feet, balances herself on her chair and confines her thoughts to paper, changing from pencil to pen and vice versa, from time to time. nor does she care if the children romp or the cook comes to speak to her.
 A man storms if the plotting paper is not conveniently near; a woman dries tha ink by blowing on it, waving the paper in the air, or holding it near lamp or fire.
 A man drops letter unhesitatingly in the box; q woman rersads the address, assures herself that the envelope is sealed. the stamp secure, and then throws 1t violently into the box.
 A man can cut a book only with aI paper cutter; a woman deftly inserts a. hairpin and the book is cut.
 For man 'goodby" signifies the end of a conversation and the moment of his departure; for woman it is the begin ming of new chapter, for 1t is just when they are taking leave of each other that women think of the most important topics of conversation.
 A woman ransacks her brain trying to mend a broken object; man puts 1t aside and forgets that for which there is no remedy. Which Is the superior?

MEXICO SETTLES
 WITH GUATEMALA
TROUBLE ADJUSTED WITHOUT A DIPLOMATIC BREAK, SAYS AM BAssADoR cREEL-MExIco IS GENEROUS.

Washington, May 1O.-The Mexican ann bassador, Mr Greet, tonight authorized the Associated Press to say that the trou- ble between Mexico and Guatemala. which for several days has threatened to termi- nate the diplomatic relations between the two countries. has been definitely and satisfactorily adjusted.
 MT. Greet tonight received advices from his home government to that effect. As to the basis of the agreement the ambas- sador declined to talk. You may state, however" he said, that the trouble Is now over and that a satisfactory agree ment has been reached"
 Dispatches received today at the state department and at the Mexican embassy said there would be settlement of the trouble without diplomatic breaks. Mexs leo determined to take generous vieT

AGRICULTURE AND
 TRADE RETARDED  Unreasonable Weather Condi- lions Cause Considerable Loss TRAFFIC IS VERY HEAVY The Steel and Iron Outlook Was Never rishter-Textlle Mills Actively
 Eneaeed-Weather Reports
 Dominate Exchanges.
TRAFFIC IS VERY HEAVY

New York, May 10-R. G. Dun & Co., s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Weather conditions, unreasonable al- most beyond precedent, have retarded re- tail trade and agriculture to an extent that cannot yet be measured, but-the loss will be considerable. Spring opened with the brightest prospects for business and crops, but record breaking results can no longer be attained. May thus far, has brought complaints of excessive cold from almost every section of the country and in many cases, it is found that mer- cantile collections have been slow on that account
 Freight congestion is relieved, however, and trafe is very heavy, partly in prepar- alton for fall and winter business, which is viewed with confidence while last years pressure caused big movement of coal and attractive prices being vast tonnage of wheat to primarN markets. The outlook in the iron and steel indus try was never brighter. Steel rails are constantly ordered much new business being in light rails for trolley lines and makers of agricultural implements are purchasing bars freely.
 Textile mills are still actively engaged as rule, but in the primary markets, there is some irregularty. Cotton goods are no cheaper but the effect of the back ward situation on retail trade is felt in all departments. Business at first hands is more active on forward contracts than fo, aalf i, To. ing of premiums for spot goods. Yet the mills are not offering concessions which may be due in part to the high cost of raw cotton. The only interest of the jobbing trade is in fall goods, current needs having been supplied.
 Export trade continues featureless, the only sales being small parcels for the Red Sea. As to woolens mems wear or ders appear less freely and the slow movement is also attributed to the wealth CT, retail clothiers making little prepar- ation for another season when current distribution is so slow
 While the footwear market cannot be termed active there is a steady volume of business that keeps New England pro- ducers fairly well engaged Prices are generally firm.
 Leather is steady and quiet, decreased piouuStioh having slItnBlitntu the pOSl- tion of tanners. Domestic hides advanced with the seasonable improvement in qual- ity.
 Weather reports have dominated com modity exchanges, the net result being a further rise in prices. Domestic state ments of injury by insects and cold were supplemented by poor progress in many other nations and the export demand was maintained in the face of dscouraging prices
