ulto. has an article on the possibility of the
East Asiatic Go. giving MP Roseau as a port
of call, q possibility which had been made
known by the local agent, Mes,rs. W .Stedmau
& Co., in a circular.
We quote the following interesting. pas
sage from the article ia question
ut is now about q year since the steamers
of this Company first came out. At that
time we wrote urging exporters and others
to give their patronage 10 the Company,
through whose presence we practically owe
the return of the steamers OF the Direct
)ine in our waters, which had almost turned
their back against us. This alone ls sound
reason why we should give all the support
we can to this line Of steamships. Apart
from this, they are not only p~unctual as to
time. but are also the best fitted carriers,
both as regards freight and passenger
accommodation that come this way and
the foolish stiffness which one observes
among the officers of most Of the other
steamers plying the passenger trade OF these
islands is hardly %perceptible on any OF the
three Danish boats. Indeed, in some Of the
other steamers the putting on Of airs" by
the officers and the almost. disdainful attl-
tude which some Of them show to passen-
gers who happen not to be white, bnt some
Of whom never heless nre their auperiors as
we'll in intellect as in standing positions, is
simply shameful. We know too how some
times our cargoes have been at the sTnercy
of some Of those steamers when there hap
pens to be no other line to compete for the
freight trade of the island. Under such
conditions. it therefore behoves the export
ers in q body to do something to prevent
the E A. Co. to remove their steamers from
this berth

MILK SEVEN CENTS A QUART

CHICAGO, Mar 3.--Indications Of
a general break in the price Of milk
appeared yesterday when one OF the
largest dealers announced cut oi
one cent a quart.
The reduction of the price to seven
cents quart brings il to the same
figure that ruled before the general
advance last fall. At that time the
claim was made that the cost OF feed
ing labor and other matters had ad-
vanced so materially that it was inn
possible to continue business with
out a higher rate.
Following the lead Of the larger
companies there was general ad-
vance. 1t was charged that all deal
ers were in a combination and the
grand jury took up the matter, but
efforts to prove that close agree
ment existed failed. At the same
time much evidence was brought out
to show that the dealers did not meet
and joined forces to effect some
changes in the business for the gen.
eral advantage Of all.

HAD A PARTNER.

CHICAGO, Mar. 3.-Lazarous
Averbuch, the young Russian Jew
who yesterday attempted to assassin
ate Chief Of Police Shippy and whom
the chief killed, had, it is believed, a
partner in his work who thus far IS
known as the "curly haired boy"
Two other men we're arrested at mid
night but it is thought their connec-
ton with the case is most remote.
Through search Of Averbuch's
library, which was made up largely
of books on revolutionary subjects
and lectures by prominent socialists
and anarchists the police found that
the terrible deed Of the morning was
planned and carried out to the death
by dreaming Russian boy whose
mind was filled for hatred Of the gov
ernment in his country, the burden
Of the peasants Of the world and the
inflamatory ideas of remedying social

Social in St. Mary's Hall

The last social before Lent was
held in St. Mary's Hall last evening
and was attended by large number
who have found these socials so en-
joyable. After the cards and table
we're cleared away the Columbia or
chestra played waltz and dancing
was under way. The Columbia or
chestra has furnished music for the
last three or four OF these socials and
that is sufficient guarantee that their
music is satisfactory. The boys do
nate their services. The prize win
ners were Miss Mary Carter, first
lady and Leon Dow, first gentleman.
Consolation prizes we're won by Miss
Beckiner and Mr. Langford. The
ladies of St. Mary's Church give the
socials all through the winter. Last
night Miss O'Conner and Mrs. E. P.
Noonan were the hostesses.

conditions promulgated BY the leaders
Of "liberty thought" in America,
The condition Of mind TO which he
had come is shown by the fact that
last week Averbuch planned TO com.

whom he had discussed his theories
Of the failure Of life.
This young Jew. who Is the one
mentioned above as "curly haired Is

plan the murder Of the chief, His
name could not Be learned last night,
but every effort will be made TO find
him to-day.
When the detectives entered the
house at 2lS Washburn Avenue,
where Averbuch lived, they found
his sister. Olga, clearing away dishes
after 4 supper Of cold meat and coffee.
The detectives uniolded newspaper
containing a picture Of the dead man
and laid il before her,

display Of emotion Of concern, that i

The police showed her a pair Of
shoes and asked her II they belonged
to her brother. She said they did.
Then she was told that her brother
was under arrest for crime, but not
that he was dead.
"Have you got the other one% was
her first question after the shock had
worn away,
what other one" asked Detective
Randall "Oh. a curly headed young
Jew,he was studying with" she said.
But she would not reveal the name OF
the curly headed young Jew, She
refused to talk any more at that time.
From the landlord II. Pine, the de-
tective learned that another young
woman lived in the three rear rooms.
Averbach had reported that both were
his sisters. Olga said she was his
sister but that the other was not,
The other young woman has not been
found.
Schuettier sent two detectives from
the city hall to relieve the raiding
party and on their arrival the place
was turned over to them with instrnc-
tions to remain in waiting for the
second woman, who was described 10
them as being a blond and younger
than Olga. This young woman had
not appeared at the house up to three
o'clock this morning. From the
neighbors little could be learned OF
Averbuch and the two women. Mrs,
Pine said they had come TO her house
two months before and had rented the
three back rooms.

Mannerisms.

Writing on "Mannerisms" in the January Smiths" Florence Augustine says:
 .'Of the many minor traits objec- tionable in the manners of women, the most noticeable perhaps is the habit of touching the hands to the hair. With the addition of rats and puffs to the coiffure, girls seem to be in con stant trepidation as to the fate of these extra ornaments. Some girls never sit down to table without assur ing themselves that their barettes are in place and doing their duty. It is needless to point out that this finger ing of the hair is offensive to people of refined taste. Equally so is the habit of touching the face, tapping the lips with the fingers. rubbing the eyes, picking absently at nose or ears or cheeks. One should avoid these ges lures as sedulously as one would avoid biting the finger-nails. which is as suredly the most unspeakably offens- i've of all mannerisms.
 Such little habits as pulling at belts, at collars, at gloves. drawing up the shoulders, drumming on the table with the fingers, pointing the index finger to emphasize the speech-aH these are well known and horrid little faults of this nervous age, and the number might be added to indefinitely What one of us has not one or more of them tackled on to our manner?
 Eternal vigilance is the price of a cure for these failings. and the only price They have taken deep root in our subconscious brains, and thinking about them once or twice is not going to dislodge them from their mighty stronghold. Yet the person who brides herself on her dainty person and truly respects the comfort of others as we'll as her own appearance will determine to rid herself of these burrs of breed ing as soon as possible
