FALL OUTLOOK is GOOD

New York, May 14-Bradstreet tomor-
row will say:
lrregular1ty still characterizes the trade,
crop and industrial situation. In industrial
lines the consensus of reports is that
further Improvement has been registered
especially in the iron and steel, coal, coke,
WOODEN manufacturing and leather trades
Building is active and lines of trade
catering to this industry are feeling bene-
fetal effects. 1t is a between-season Pc
ried in wholesale and jobing distributive
trades orders from retailers are merely of
filling-in character, and hardly equal to
expectations. The tone of opinion as to
the outlook for tan trade is as whole
rather more optimistic, but the evidences
of repression in trade whether due to
crop uncertainty, reduced purchasing
power of the public or high prices for
foodstuffs are too evident to be ignored
Manufacturers of wooden goods are buy
ing freely of raw material at Boston
and sales of new domestic clip wool to
arrive have aggregated 100000 pounds
London sale prices are reported to have
advanced and this is reflected in large
dealings in foreign wool.
Eastern shoe factories orders on hand
are below normal. Buying is not as broad
as expected. Sole leather is active, sup
plies well controlled and prices firmer,
with union sole cent up. Upper feathers
are also moro active. Hides are firm.
A change In fashion is largely credited
with helping wooden as opposed to worst
ed goods, but it is to be noted that the
latter branch is no less favorably situated

 Van Tassell One Day

Judge Edwin B. Gager yesterday aft ernoon. in the Civil Superior court, freed David M. VapTasseIl from the bonds of married life. although he only enjoyed that state one day. Accord ing to his story, he was married in New York, Nov. g. 1905, his bride at the time being nervous and sick. On the evening of their marriage the bride went to the home of her cousin and later to her fathers. and has remained there Tn spite of all sorts of letters, entreaties and solicitations.
 The plaintiff. who is a farmer, de- clared that his wife had several req sons for not living with him; that he was a farmer, which life she did not care for; that she was her fathers pet; that her father kept a market and de- sired to have his daughter with him.

FACING BIG COAL SElKE

Especial from United Prfss.)
 London. March 27.-EnglaI(d is to- day facing the same proposit%n as i2 the United States, being thrN2teZed with a great miners strike. Already 900 men are idle in mills in Northern England and Scotland to-day. The passage of the eight hour act for min ing is responsible for the trouble. The end of the boom period in the coal regions and the arrival of stacker times in other industries have also had their influence. Great stretches of hard coal are standing idle because shipping and transportation means have fallen.
 The operators have stated that now the eight hour act is becoming effec- tive, the sliding scale of wages must be abandoned. They say that when the hours of the miners are restricted their pay must correspond When the new act becomes effective they must work eight hours. This will cause an other local grievance.

The headline attraction at Polls for next week will be MT. E,mmet Devoy and his company of six artists pre- senting the seasons best offering, in a fantasy, entitled 'In Dreamland." MT. Devoy who enjoys a country wide reputation as an actor of marked ability is supported by the beautiful Hermine Shone, recognized as one of the most beautiful women on the American stage, and five other stars of recognized worth. The play let is based on a story having to do with Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hammond Bob is inclined to be a little gay, and to flirt now and then with the ladies. He and Mrs. Bob have a domestic scrap on the occasion of Mrs. Bobs birthday, which has been overlooked by that f1orrid Bob.
 The latter after dinner lies down on the sofa and falls asleep. He's a su- perstitiouS sort of fellow and in his dreams he sees before him vision of the daughter of Venus sent to chkS- tise him for neglecting his wife. Bob finds the visions beauty irresistible and starts a little filtration. or rather tries to. Venus daughter won't have it and she gets back at Bob with thun- der and lightning right from the clouds. These effects are given by an elaborate electrical system reQuir- ing the constant attention of a corps ADD POLPS
 of electricians, and the stage illusions are bewildering to the audience.
 The story IS cdr11eO out In detail, and much good comedy is interspersed with some more dramatic and serious bits. Miss Hermine Shone makes a resplendently beautiful daughter of Venus. The other members of the supporting cast are excellent in their respective parts. Tn Dreamland'' will be an instantaneous hit commencing with Mondays matinee.
 Several unusually good features will appear on next weeks bill beside the big head line attraction. Some of the best will be: Ward & Curran, offering their latest version of the hilarious skit, "The Terrible Judge; Mile. Freg-

SSsind and Thinkina.

Most people see an object when they think of it. They can see before their eyes a geemetrical drawing or the fig ures on a chessboard when they think of them. In order to think at all most men make use Of images, though they may be of different kinds. Thus one man when he thinks of ''Italy'' sees just the printed word; another sees the country's outline on a map; another may see the country spread out before him, with it's villages and towns. Psychologists are beginning to classify the different aids or images of which men make use. Some, for example, hear the words of their thought within themselves; others read them, as if the words were written generally in black on a white ground.-London Post

He Got the Ticket.
 ~Seamen's return" tickets are issued by most British railways at seaport towns to sailors at reduced rates. A rather we'll groomed young man de manded one to Birmingham; the book ing clerk at Hull demurred.
 "'Seamen's returns are only issued to sailors" he snapped.
 Well, I'm sailor,'' was the reply.
 'T have only your word for that, " said the clerk. How am I to know 1t Is correctT'
 t'How are you to know?' came the answer. "Why, you leather necked, swivel eyed son of a sea cook, if you feel my starboard boom running foul of your headlights you'll know I've been doing more than sit on a stool bleating all my life, and you'll haul in your jaw tackle a bit.''
 ~Give him the ticket" said the pas senger superintendent, who had over heard the dialogue; ''he's a sailor, right enough. ."-London Scraps.
