NEW YORK.

Trade during the first half of Janu-
airy shows expected progress. New I'M
dertakings are encouraged by the more
settled policy regarding large financial
and Industrial affairs and ample funds
are available. Leading industries grad
ually increase the working forces and
output, and while in most lines both
continue below normal, the gains estab-
iished in the declining months of last
year are fully maintained.
Disappointment is manifest in the
iron and steel markets, demand lacking
snap and requirements coming out in
hesitating way. Better buying was ex-
pected, owing to cheap money and the
fact that the entire country is prac-
tically bare of finished goods. Little
inquiry is received from the railroads.
Some weakness is noted in pig iron.
Good inquiries are received from pipe
mills, and one large block is under ne
gotiation. Business in rails continues
quiet. Wire products show the nearest
approach to normal activity.-Dun's
Weekly Review.

Phone Bill Up Again.

The bi-annual effort to require inter-
change of telephone service will come
up at this session. AS early as 1897
the effort was made and last year
futile endeavors were made to incor-
porate the plan in the public utilities
hill. The legislative bureau has oil
hand g great mass of information for
members now, and the usual effOrC will
be made to force the bill through in
satisfactory shape. The requirements
for interchange of service by transmits
sion of each others messages or by
actual physical connection are very
general outside Wisconsin. Montana,
South Dakota and Texas have laws,
while Oklahoma, Idaho, Kentucky and
Washington retain jurisdiction under
constitutional provisions.

Ruxs Blue Book Paper.

Tons and tons of paper for the 1909
Blue book has been received at the cap
itoi and stored in the basement. For
the publication of the Blue book and
the 1900 copies of the session laws
there have been purchased by he State
$500 reams of heavy book paper. An
idea of the magnitude of the order may
be gained when it is pointed ont that
each ream of the paper weighs 100
bounds. The edition of the Blue book
is 465OO copies and the paper alone
costs $11,620. In his message tc the
LEGISLATURE, the Governor recommended
that fewer copies of the Blue book be
printed. 1t has been found that when
the books are delivered to sorlc Sena-
tors and Assemblymen prepaid, they
refuse to receive them.

Advertising Maiden Chooses Affinity
from Dorchester.

AdvertisfnR Maiden Chooses Affinity
from Dorchester.
Miss Frances Livingston of Boyd, who
is believed to have received more pro-
posals than any other woman in the
world. has chosen Louis Struvans of Dor
chester for her husband Miss Livingston
on Oct. 6. 1908, began to advertise for a
husband. She stated that she was 36
years old and good booking, that she had
a farm in the town of COlburn, and money
in the bank at Boyd. She maintained
that if it became custom for women to
advertise for husbands there would be
greater chances for happiness in married
life, because by this means a woman
could get out of her narrow home village
or city sphere and search the entire world
for her affinity. Miss Livingston's an
nOuncement was printed in newspapers in
all parts of the United States, and some
of the Mexican, Canadian and European
papers also took it up. Consequently
proposals came from men in every walk of
life residing in the two continents. Dec.
81 she had received about 1000 proposals
for marriage. She then proceeded to class
ify and eliminate the candidates, and
finally decided upon Mr.. Struvans, a
prominent Dorchester man, as her affinity.

desks are ranged along the width of
the room in two rows with the south
windows to the backs of the members.
The desks themselves are hardly suit
able to the dignity of the service they
are to see. They are of the old-fash-
toned school variety, wide affairs of
cheap golden oak, the sort of desks
that might be found in a town hall of

ink wells sunk into the wood and alto

chairs are comfortable, and that, as a
matter of fact, is the all-important fac
tor. The Assemblymen have no COM
plant to make as to comfort. Their
chamber, as one member put it, is the
finest thing this side of Washington.
From the luxurious Brussels carpet of
a deep red shade, to the beautiful cir
cular slzylight in the ceiling, the room
is just about the last word in appro-
pirate beauty. The desks are the same
as those used in the old Assembly
chamber, but they have been revamped
and put into suitable condition.
