NEW YORK.

Weather conditions continue irregu-
lar, but a change for the better has
occurred in staple crop conditions, and
retail business is slightly improved,
though disappointing and showing evil
dences of the repression heretofore
evident Recorder business from job
bers and wholesalers has been rather
quiet, but there is. II anything. a more
assured optimism permeating the re-
ports as to the outlook for next fall
and winter trade.
Best reports as to retail trade comes
from the upper part Of the great CEN
trail valley and its tributaries. Cold
wet weather has interfered with bust
ness In parts of New England and the
middle Atlantic States, and trade
seems slow to improve in San Fran
cisco and in parts of the Pacific North
west.
All indications of activity have 10 do
with future trade, the expectation be-
ing that the removal of tariff uncer-
tainty will give an impetus to general
business. Retail trade, though better
than year ago, has been on the whole
disappointing, causes assigned for this
being weather conditions and the high
prices of the general public.

in the case of John r. Early, the ex-

clare, is leper. The authorities have
separated Early from his wife and two
children and have provided tent for
him adjoining the cottage in which
they live. A fence is built between the
cottage and the tent. There are sew

not leper. Among them is DR.. Bulk

Mrs. Early to study her husbands
case. His action has met with the dis

they were not consulted first. Mrs.

A colored man is inferior to white

Dugro of the Supreme Court of New

Appellate Division the other day in
the matter of Griffin versus Brady.
Daniel M. Brady, president of brass
company and brother of Diamond

containing money and passes on a

W. Griffin, the colored porter of his
car. Griffin was tried and acquitted

Brady in New York City and got a
verdict for $4,000 Brady moved to
have this set aside as excessive and
the Justice agreed with him. He said
in ruling: No such verdict would
stand in any court for the plaintiff in
this case. He earned less than dol
lar a day. He was colored man and,
while the law says he is as good as
the President of the United States, 1t
would be a bad argument to say that
he is as good in many senses"
