grandmother, and then collapsed, too utterly miserable to think of writing her sister, or anything else
 Two days passed before she was able to resume the reins of govern. i ment, and in the meantime William Henry, who was really all right in spite of his Miss Nanciness, helped her control the twins by alternately bullying and betting them, so that they did no especial harm either to them. selves or anyone else. But the bull letin to her sister entirely escaped her memory both days.
 Friday morning she awoke feeling once more equal to her task, but still looked so pale and i'll that the children took pity on her, and were on their good behavior all day. Callers came late in the afternoon, however, and she did not think of the message to her sister until after she retired that night, and sleepily promised herself to write Sarah long letter next day. A whole day of goodness on the part of the children was necessarily fol. lowed by an unburdening of superflu. ous animal spirits, and all day Satur. day they acted as if they were possessed. Eugene, whose appe. tite was always greater than his capacity, watched his opportunity, and when the cooks back was turned, snatched a chocolate cake which she had just baked for Sunday She was too fat and unwieldy to give chase, and went grumbling and sputtering to Janet with her complaint of "dem rampageous chillun."
 After evening tea with one ac- cord they all demanded to be told stories. Gathering them on the cool vine-clad piazza. Janet breathed a sigh of relief at this easy mode of enter. taining them, and then began the "once upon a time." so dear to chil. dren's hearts. But the more she told, the more they demanded, and when the whistle of the train from the west blew. at eight o'clock. she was still trying to cater to their unsuitable apps tites for stories, though her mouth was dry and she felt that her tongue would soon be hanging out
 A hack drove rapidly up the street and stopped at their gate. and her heart gave a great bound as in the gathering twilight she recognized the two persons coming up the walk as her sister and her brother-in-law.
 "0h. Janet. why didn't you write me what has been the matter with my precious darlings? Mothern never, never leave them again" and Sarah Baker gathered her brood to her am. pie bosom and showered kisses and caresses upon them.
 When she took time to breathe. she explained to Janet that not hearing from her. she grew more and more un. easy about the children. until finally she just could not stand it any longer, and had taken the first train for home, as she had been perfectly miserable ever since she left there.
 Tn the relief of feeling herself free from responsibility. all the shortcom- fngs of her charges were forgotten, and Janet told her sister that it had been nothing but negligence on her part that had caused her to overlook writing. and that the children had been all that could be desired.
 But it was noticed thereafter that when the subject of child-raising was preached in her presence. she always remained cOnspicuously silent

NEW YORK.

Trade as whole is quieter and in
dustrial operations are being curtailed
in accord with the REIMBURSEMENT proc
ess forced by the prevailing monetary
stringency and the spread of the acute
currency scarcity to the country at
large Evidences of this are found in
the restriction of wholesale buying for
future delivery, in the confinement of
jobbing trade to purely filling-in pro-
portions, and in the curtailment of re-
tail buyi.g by the necessary employ
ment of credit instruments. In manu-
featuring lines there is apparently a
determination to fill orders only as
they are received and an indsposition
to accumulate stocks, the result here
being a slowing down of operations
pending the settlement of affairs upon
a substantial basis. This Industrial
quieting is also in no small degree due
to the fact that manufacturers unable
or unwilling to ask their employees to
take pay in credit instruments chose
rather to reduce production to a point
whers operations can be conducted free
from dispute as to the methods of pay

Las Vegas, which therefore becomes the
wealthiest community, per capita, in
the United States.
This city of 10000 inhabitants owns
100000 acres, worth certainly $780,
600, and possibly as much as S3,0OO,0O
The land is being placed ON the market
in tracts of $4,000 acres, and one block
must be sold before the next is opened.
The money is to be used as a perma-
nent school fund. The proceeds from
the sale of the land will be invested
and the interest will be used for main
tenance of the public schools. The
schools will therefore become indepen-
dent of taxes and taxing authorities.
This is believed to be the only instance
of the kind in this country.
The market for all kinds of crops is
large and is continually increasing.
The soil is finely adapted to the culture
of sugar beets to which some of the
farmers intend to devote considerable
acreage. A beet sugar factory is prom
ised if the plan is carried out.

HALF A MILLION A DAY.
That Is the Amount Which Chicago
Puts Into Stimulants.

Chicago's consumption of stimulants is
amazing, according to a correspondent.
The money spent in saloons alone totals
up between $120,000,0O0 and S130O00,-
600 annually. At least $10,000,000 more
is spent for stimulating drugs in the 900
drug stores in the city.
If tobacco can be classed as stimu-
liant it may be said that there are between
$4,000 and 10000 places in the city
where cigars and tobacco are sold. Proba-
bly, 100000 per day is not an exagger-
ated estimate for Chicago's smoking bill.
At the lowest estimate, taking alcoholic
beverages, tobaccos, and all manner of
drugs into account, it is impossible to fig
ure that Chicago spends less than $780,
600 per day on stimulants of various
kinds, and the chances are the amount is
considerably higher.
Of this enormous sum, how much does
the worker spend? Fully 70 per cent, if
all business men, officers of corporations,
and all men who work with hand or brain,
are included But for the worker, the
saloonkeepers themselves say, they would
have to close up shop in a few days. The
remaining % per cent of the 100000
must be set aside between women who
lead domestic lives and non-workers of all
kinds Women perhaps are the heaviest
of all users of drugs.

CHICAGO.

Steady improvement appears In
financial conditions, further gold i'm
portations, increasing note circulation
and larger use of checks in place Of
specie making it easier to view the out
look with confidence. The pressure for
currency is gradually finding relief, and
with the liquidation and readjustments
In process a return to normal condi-
tlons is closer at hand. Pay roll needs
are now more easily provided for, and
the new medium of exchange conserveS
moneys at the banks and is readily ac~
cepted in ordinary transactions.
Savings banks depositors have virtu-
ally ceased giving withdrawal notices,
and there is more activity in New York
exchange. Foreign buying of products
Is yet in excess of year ago, and a
continuation of this favorable factor
seems likely and will provide the means
for additional purchases of gold abroad
to strengthen local bank resources.
Mercantile collections are no worse
than expected, and, while there are
more calls for extensions, the record of
failures makes a better exhibit than
for both last week and year ago.
Distributive trade is favored by sea-
sonable weather, and advices as to both
local and interior activity in the neces-
saries remain satisfactory. 1t is for
tunate that stocks of fall and winter
goods are not excessive Most buyers
bought conservatively in advance and
those now in the market limit selec-
tons to ascertained needs. Dealings
in the principal jobbing branches thus
far this year make new high records,
and the present curtailed buying is not
regarded as more than temporary. The
movement Of holiday goods shows salts
factory proportions
Receipts of raw materials for fac
tory consumption fall below those at
this time last year, an indication that
there is no unhealthy pressure upon
forwarders, and the prices for finished
products have undergone no especial
change. More closing down of plants
for repairs and reduction in hands and
working hours appear to be mainly for
the purpose of bridging over the diff
Guilty in obtaining funds.
The lack of currency throughout the
agricultural sections accounts for de-
creased marketings of crops, but 1t is
also evident that there are large with
holdings for higher prices.
Failures reported in Chicago district
number %, against 81 last week and 27
year ago. Those with liabilities over
$1,000 number Z, against 10 last week

sUBsIDIzING CUPID,
Chicago Women Unionists Are in
Favor of a Marriage Dowrv.

4 capitalistic cupid. with love darts in
the form of $500 dowries and working
girls as his targets, is the latest sugges-
ton as an antidote for race suicide. Cupid
is to be an agent for labor unions if
these ideas are carried out. 1t was adj
vocated by eighty women workers belong
ing to unions, who assembled at Hull
House, in Chicago, a few days ago.
The gathering was one of the first
three, held simultaneously, in this eoun-
try. Another was at New York and the
third at Boston. 1t was Miss s. P.
Breckenridge, assistant dean of women at
the University of Chicago, who suggested
the dowry idea.
1--WE believe in this plan," declared
Miss Breckenridge. 1T places the mar
riage question upon a serious basis.
Unions have their death and sick benefits
and marriage benefit or dowry would be
in order. If woman unionist is going
to be married she must be taught it is a
serious undertaking, but, at the same
time, a plan that is favored by the or
ganization to which she belongs.
1.-The experience she acquires by being
a unionist and wage Garner will enable
her to spend money wisely after she is
married. She will also learn that when
her husband works and brings his wages
home to her she must also bear her share
of the burden. 1t has been suggested here
that women workers who marry, some
times return to their old tasks. 1t would
appear to me that if matrimony is not a
gainful employment it ought to be-
''The plan of giving a dowry to a wom-
an when she marries is now in vogue
among English and German unions" de-
clared Mrs. Raymond Robins, who acted
as chairman of the conference.
There were others present who thought
that a stipulated sum of 500 or 5000
should be given to a woman wage Garner
when she becomes a matron by the labor
organization with which she has been
identified

Statehood Puts Total of $50 Dram
shops Out of Existence.
When II o'clock came on Saturday
night approximately $50 saloons in Okla
homa closed as the result of the State
wide prohibition provision in the State
constitution. The greatest number OF sa-
looms in one town was sixty-fTe at Okla
homa City, where the fixtures OF each sa-
loon had an average value of about ST.
500. The only breweries in the State,
two in number, were in Oklahoma City.
An idea of the traffic cut off may be
gained from the statement of an expert
enced saloonkeeper. He said the gross in
come of each saloon in Oklahoma would
average $40 a day, making a total of 3d.
100000 paid annually for alcoholic bev-
erages by the people of one-half the new
State, Indian Territory having had fed

Twenty-Four Russian Political Prfs-
Are i'm New York.
Twenty-four Russian political convicts,
who, after beating down the guards es-
capped more than a month ago from the
prison at Chernigov, have arrived in New
York. One of them, Pesach Paley, reach
ed the East Side with a bullet hole IN
his left leg. All the men are secretlve,
still fearing their home government. The
men had been prisoners since early IN
1905, when the Car issued a manifesto
which was construed by the people of Mos
COW to grant free speech. Many meetings
were held and political questions were
discussed. Admiral Dubassof thereupon
was ordered by the government to break
up the meetings with Cossacks. month
ago the political prisoners made rush
on the guards in the prison yard One
was shot dead. The others escaped to the
woods and aided by a secret society, made
their way to Libau, where they obtained
passage on a steamer to this country.
