NEW YORK.

z The first week of spring has seen an
expansion in retail trade and an enlarge
ment of operations in building lines, es.
peCially at the West. Conservative es-
Inmates of actual needs govern buying,
and replacement of broken stocks is the
chief source of jobbing and wholesale
demand. Trade in the primary branches
is therefore quiet, and operations in in
dustrial lines are below normal. Fall
trade is backward, awaiting clearer view
of the future crop and price conditions.
Industrial conditions are still very irreg-
\ ular, and short or reduced time is pr.c-
tically universal. The iron and steel IN
dustry does not show much increase in
activity outside of the seasonable lines.
The textile trade is. still depressed, with
short time and wage reductions common
in cotton goods manufacture North and
South. Fear of a coal strike has sub
sided and buying is less active in this
line. The leather and shoe trades arc
irregular and unsettled. Shipments OF
shoes are 26 per cent below last year.

While a part of the decrease in the
number OF deaths from tuberculosis
shown in 1906 as against 1907 is due
to the inclusion among the registra-
ton States of several with a low NOR
tally rate from his disease, there was
also noticeable a noteworthy decrease
in the old registration area. OF the
total number of deaths 36,032 were
shown to be males and 29,309 females,
the age of greatest mortality among
males ranging from 20 to 20 and among
Dakota and Michigan showed the low
est mortality among the States, while
Colorado and California had the high
est. Neither of the latter States show
ed an increase in the disease among
the native population. New York had
the highest mortality rate among the
cities, that rate being SOB in 1906, as
compared with $50 in 1905.
Cancer was the cause of 29,020
deaths in 1906, of which 11,166 were
males and 1854 females. The age of
greatest mortality from this disease Is
between the ages Of 60 and Ga. Cali
fornia showed the highest death rate
n New Jersey the lowest, while Bos-
ton led all the large cities.
Practically all of the increase in the
mortality from typhoid fever comes
with the inclusion of new registration
States. This rate was % in 1905 and
80 in 1906. Pennsylvania and Colorado
showed the highest death rate from
typhoid, while Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island had the lowest. Pitts
burg and Allegheny, Pa, lead the reg
istration cities in mortality from
typhoid.
The total number Of deaths in the
entire registration area for 1906 from
all forms of violence was 1852, cor
responding to a death rate of 1909 per
100000 of estimated population. The
death rate from suicide apparently
showed a large increase for each year
of the period from 1902 to 1905 and a
decrease for 1906.
Deaths from accidental traumatIsms
numbered 2o,S42, and the rate was sos
per 100000 OF population; the corre-
spending rate for 1905 was 42.1.
Deaths from steam railroad accidents
and injuries for the registration area
numbered 1000, and 1S3 were due tn
automobile accidents.

In General Morris Schaff's recent
"reminiscences, ssThe Spirit OF Old West
Point" there is an incident that goes
to show that not even the first bitter
ness of the struggle between the North
and the South could put out altogether
the fires Of friendship.
1t was the fate of Stephen d. Ram
seur Of North Carolina to fall In the
Confederate service. His last hours
had a close connection with West
Point, where he had been enrolled as
a cadet.
When, in the darkness, after the Bat
tie of Cedar Greek, the Union cavalry,
charged the broken and fleeing REM
nants of a division of Early's corps.
Custer, who was In the midst, heard
one Of his troopers who had seized the
horses ask the driver whom he had IN
his ambulance.
DO not tell him." commander a
weak, husky voice.
Whereupon Custer, who recognized
the voice as one he had SO often heard
at West Point, exclaimed
rs that you, Ramseur?"
Custer had him taken to Sheridan's
headquarters, where his old friends,
Merritt,s Custer and the gallant pen-
nington gathered round him md show
ed him every tenderness to the last.
He died about 10 o'clock the next day.

..rhe column had halted at tho END

THE column had halted at the end
of It's first days ride and was bivouack-
Ing in a corn field. The camp fires had
with the odor Of noodle soup. The
bugles had sounded for the serving OF
%rations. Even the pickets had come
into camp for grub.
without warning the bushwhackers
rose up out Of the fodder shocks and
the fence corners; with one combined
rush they swept down upon Major Jo-
seph's soup line and captured 1t. The
colonel of the bu~shwhackers, a former
school teacher. and his staff appeared
simultaneously, as the major reported
1t to his superior officer, before the
majors shack and demanded his RAJ
lions.
The colonel saluted the major. and
begged his pardon for the intrusion.
He said he and his men had not come
to fight, but they were almighty hungry,
and the odor of the noodle soup had
made them furious.
IF permitted to have their fill they
would retire in good order and the.
major could do likewise. If the major
wanted fight, he could have 1t, but they
were not there with any hostile inten-
lions, other than those mentioned.
''The major was virtually a prisoner.
He submitted gracefully and asked the
colonel md his staff to be his guests
as long as the grub held out. The
colonel regretted to say hat he and his
staff would need all there was, and as
the major could 90 back to town and
get more, they would have to sweep the
board.
They devoured every morsel. When
the repast was finished the colonel's
eye fell on the majors spyglass he
| allowed that as the government had
plenty on hand and the article was
scarce In the Confederacy he would
have to take it. The major removed
the field glass from his uniform and
handed it over.
THE major was then politely re-
quested to send word to his men In
camp that they were to allow the Wis
itors to depart in peace. This was
done, and the b~ushwhackers scattered
as only, b~ushwhackers know how to 10.
Major Joseph broke camp that night
and returned to the city before day
break. 1t was his last scouting expedi-
tion from that post. He was ordered
to the front soon after, and, ! believe,
under the watchful eye Of his superior
officer, who was an old West Pointer,
he did some creditable fighting until he
was mustered out.
The story of the b~ushwhackers' raid
on Major Joseph's noodle soup got to

How SickIes Got His Medal.
The presentation to General SIckles
by the War Department, after a long
delay, of a medal for m~eritorious CON
duct at the battle Of Gettysburg. re-
called an interesting Incident. At the
national G.. A. r. encampment at Buff
falo, General Ruggles of the regular
army and General Sickles were two OF
the conspicuous old generals In attend
ance Ex-Governor Upham OF Wlscon-
sin, together with p. A. Shores OF tho
same State, were guests at the same
hotel with General Ruggles. On tho
third day Of the encampment Mr..
Shores was presented to the general.
The conversation turned upon the sub
jet Of badges, several Of which Gem
eral Ruggles was wearing, when he
remarked that 1t was unfortunate that
General Sickles was unable to ret q
medal from the War Department.
"Sickles deserves the bade," said ha,
"for he commanded his regiment to
the end OF the engagement after he had
lost his leg by the explosion Of a shell
but unfortunately there is no one llv-
Ing, * far as is known, who was an
eyewitness OF the generals action. ana
the testimony of nm eyewitness Il ab-
solutely necessary before the medal can
be awarded"
When General Ruggles had ceased
talking Mr.. Shores said: General, 1
think I can furnish the evidence that Is
desired. I was General Birney's order
" in that battle, and was sent with a
message to General Sickles to say that
General Birney was ready to take com
maId at any time. It was then well
known among the Federal soldiers that
General Slckles had lost a leg, and IL
was supposed he would be taken from
the neld. When I found General Sick
les he was on q stretcher with a clamp
on the stump Of his leg to prevent bss
Of blood, and he was giving orders
while sitting on the stretcher on which
he had been carried to the front, /
delivered General Birney's message,
when with a vigorous adjective Gen.
eral Sickles said: You tell General
Birney that when I want him to take
command I will let him know"
The next day at the suggestion OF
General Ruggles, Mr.. Shores called.
upon General Sickles, and repeated the
statement made the day before, which
evidently reached the War Department
for General Sickles afterward received
the much-desired medal.
