ST. LOUIS STILL FEEL
 EFFECTS OF THE PANIC.

Mr. and Mrs. ". A. Miller and daughter, Miss To, arrived home from St. Lotus Saturday where the latter has been taking less- ons in music and art the past year. Mrs Miller and daughter will be home all summer, but Mr. Miller will return to St Louis in few days where he has a position in the wholesale es- tablishment of Hargadine-Mc- kittriek Dry Goods Co.,, being in charge of the linen department.
 Mr. Miller says the effects of the panic are still felt in St. Louis, ard the business men of that city do not expect It to open up much until after the Novem- Der election. Wholesale houses are buying sparingly. on. such goods as there IS immediate de- mand for. NIT. Miller says last fall when the panic was at it's worst it was almost impossible to get any money for personal use. Everything was paid ln John Smith checks, and if you made purchase and any change was coming 10 you, yop got It III these checks. It was only by personal appeal to the president of the company by whom he was employed that Mir. Miller could get enough ready cash to buy theatre tickets. Since the banks have been paying out money Mr. Miller says many of the people have withdrawn II and are build- ing houses and investing it in real estate.
 Mr. Miller is well pleased with his position, and his employers are doubtless pleased with him, as he stuck through the panic while many were let out who had been with the firm much longer.

TO CLOSE UP FOR
 CHAUTAUQUA.

The Hungarian Orchestra and many other high price attract ions, come off in the afternoon. Hence the desire of ali of Iead- ing merchants and business men to close from , 10 I ?. m. dur ing the Ghaatauqua. This speaks well for their enterprise and public spirit and quite in contrast to three other places that will probably fall in w,th a more enlightened public senti- ment and close.

Canning Factory at Work.

The canning factory IS now working on blaekberries, and Mr Godfrey informs The News that the pack this season will be con- fined to blackberries and peaches alone, and as soon as the peach season IS over he will go 10 Michigan and pack peaches and apples there. The factory is paying Sl.oo per crate for black berries, and most of them are be- ing packed in gallon cans. pie makers ln the cities preferring that size to the smaller sized cans.
 The canning factories through out the country suffered from the panic last fall and winter, as well as the buyers of green and evap- orated fruit. Mir. Godfrey car ried over about twelve cars of canned goods, mostly apples, which he is now shipping out at prices about half what lie could have sold for last season.
 The blackberry crop this year is better than usual. The yield seems to be larger, and the grade of berries better. Quite num- Der of crates are being shipped out by express every day, some days as high as fifty crates being shipped. The price ranges from S1.15 10 s12o per crate. The raspberry crop seems to be It. tie short. Red raspberries are bringing from SIPS to S2. so per crate, and the black variety from s1.50 to S1.75 per crate.
 Some people said we were not going to have any apples this year, but that IS a mistake. Red Astrachans have been on the local market this week, and while they are knotty and of an inferior grade, they are apples all the same. They have been sell ing at 60 cents per bushel
 Less rain this week so far than for several weeks past, in fact Wednesday and yesterday the streets were quite dusty. It is just the kiud of weather We are needing, and the town has been almost deserted this week, show ing that the farmers are making the most of the opportunity.

JUST WARMING UP.
Man for Whom Nice Warm Corner
 in Hades Had No Terr0rs.

A man who has lived in the Dutch West Indies for years came back tc New York last fall. After two de- cades of sizzling in the tropics, life in the north promised to develop into one long, grand chill. Only recently when the spring sun has begun to get really busy, has he shown any symptoms of thawing out.
 Tt isn't that I'm exactly warm now," he explained the other day; tits just that l begin to hope that will be some time. feel good deal like the darkey who migrated from right hot spot down in Florida and settled in Boston.
 "The old fellow hadn't dwelt long in that atmosphere of cold reason and east. winds before a mortal chill as- sailed him, body and spirit. Winter came on The northeast gales and the lecture season were at their bit terest and the darky got colder and colder and stiffer and stiffer.
 First he couldn't walk. Then he couldn't talk. Then he couldn't eat.
 Finally he lay stark and cold and  dead.
 ''The family prepared to dispose of his remains. When he first reached Boston, before he froze up so that he couldn't get out. he had passed a crematory one day and had been en- chanted with 1t. It appealed very warmly indeed to him, and he had requested his relatives to see that his remains were cremated when he should come to die.
 50 they carried his body of to the cTematory and handed 1t over to the persons in charge. They were told that 1t would take about two hours to reduce the body to ashes. and were invited to remain or to return at the end of that period to witness the opening of the furnace.
 At the end of to hours. there fore. in the presence of the assem- bled friends. the door of the furnace was opened. whereupon a hoarse voice from within called out irri- tably:
 Shut dat door. feel a draf on my feet!'"

 American women who have gone abroad are the cause of the Ameri- canizing of time-worn and fossilized customs in regard to everything from cooking to hairdressing. English cookery has been too heavy and French cookery too rich for healthy American tastes and the result is that the Mahomets are coming to the mountain to study the mysteries of clam chowder, baked beans and above all American pie.

WEATHER PROPHETS OF OLD.

MeteoroIogy as a science is in it's infancy. but as a branch of knOwI- edge 1t Is perhaps as old as mankind. The beginnings of meteOrOlogy are to be found at the origin of civilization. It would be error 10 imagine that the rich weather lore found In the Bible. especially in the book of Job. and in the poems of Homer and Hesold. or fginzted them in Palestine or Greece
 On the contrary. the familiarity of the people with the sayings ard rules concerning the weather revealed by these writings show clearly that they must De considered as a primeysI stock of the culture Of that time There is reason to believe that the origin Of much modern weather lore can be traced to it's lndo-Germanic source.

 Doctrines Destructive of Society's
 Foundation--censured Educator Will | Fight Demand For Resignation.
 Cincinnati, May 12.-H Heath Baw.
 den, professor of philosophy at the
 University of Cincinnati, declared pub
 licly that he will not resign the chair
 of philosophy.
 President Charles W. Dabney of the
 university had asked Professor Baw.
 den to, resign because of the private 1 views he holds on the problems of sex
 and the duties of matrmony and be l cause of his domestic difficulties which 1 his peculiar views have caused. The
 demand that the professor resign fol.
 lowed, it is said, Mrs. Bawden's de.
 scription of her home life to President l Dabney.
 Professor Bawden, who is thirty-sev-
 en years old, retorts that he believes in
 free, ideal state, in which shall ex-
 ist an association of the sexes based only on comradeship.
 He vows that in fighting the demand ] for his resignation he will submit his case in detail to the American people. Indeed, he is already writing state
 ment of his views as we'll as three
 books on sex comradeship.
 No man, either by word or his man. ner of life, can teach doctrines de- structive of the very foundation of so- ciety in any institution for which I am responsible" said President Dabney Professor Bawden has stated enough to make my position clear to the pub lic."

 Der of the faculty for six years. He admits that his radical views on mar. riage, coupled with domestic problems
 of his own family. caused him to be
 dismissed from Vassar, but he main- tains that he never taught any of his private ideas to his students. The Bawdens live in separate apart
 ments in a fashionable family hotel. They have two children.
 My husband did not always hold such views on marriage" said Mrs.

 began to put them in practice. came

 The coming of Escoffier, the great chef. for the purpose of studying the culinary tastes and habits of Amer. ican habits of Americans Is significant of the charge that has come over stubborn old London in regard tc considering the ideas and preju. dices of other persons than those Of It's own nation. For many years the demands of American guests in the hotels of the English capital for hot breakfast breads. fritters and other things besides toast. eggs, bacon and jam. created nothing more serious than a smile of head walters and managers
 Escofier says that he has even heard of this thing that you call pie but that it would never be a sue cess in the foreign hotels. Never theless there is very little doubt that before he returns he will master even the pie mystery. for the wistfuI call Of the tourist for pie has never been satisfied abroad.
