ROYAL TOURIST TAKES
ElRST PRIZE AL VENICE

William Mountain. driving the new
Royal Tourist car in the automobile
parade at Venice yesterday afternoon,
captured the first prize for having the
handsomest touring car in the parade.
There is littlc wonder at this, as the
Royal Tourist is in a class by itself.
The prize was a handsome Thermos
bottle with leather case and with the
name of the winner engraved on silver.

NEW YORK.

While there has been some expansion
in house jobbing trade in dry goods,
millinery and kindred lines and bust
hess in agricultural implements. seeds
and fertilizers has been large, the un-
settlement caused by price reductions
in the iron, steel and other metal mar
kets, the weakness i'm securities and
the near approach of tariff revision
have all made for a degree of uncer-
tainty not so plainly visible for long
time past.
Weather conditions, too, have played
a part in arresting retail trade, coun-
try roads are in bad shape, farmers
deliveries are affected despite attract
i've prices for grain. and there has been,
in fact. an apparent slowing down in
the current of trade, which. however
temporary it may be. has tended to
make comparisons with a year ago at
this time, largely favorable as they
still are, less satisfactory than was ex-
pected some time ago.
AS yet the reductions announced or
believed to be impending in the metal
markets have not made for a large bust

however, will mean that Chicago will
lose him as one of her foremost mer-
chants, for he will be obliged TO dis
pose of his holdings i'm the wholesale
grocery firm Of Franklin MacVeagh &
Co., of which he has been the head
since 1870. Mr.. MacVeagh will also
have to resign as director of the Com
mercial National Bank, and he will
have to get rid of his stock in that in
stitutiOn. in which he is one of the big
stockholders and an important force.
The reason for the necessity of Mr..
MacVeaghs ceasing to be either a Chi
cago merchant or bank director lies in
an old statute of 1889. which declares
that a Secretary of the Treasury shall
not be interested in certain things finan-
cially.

ELECTRICITY FROM THE SUN.
Inventor Claims He Can Produce

That he has successfully solved the

working. is the claim made by Bos-
ton inventor, George s. Cove, of Som

success Of his invention by lighting his
workshop with electricity generated
from simple apparatus on the roof.
No electric wires of any sort enter
his building from outside lighting
sources. yet the incandescent globes
twinkle merrily day and night, and
electricians from the Institute of Tech
nology who have watched with interest
his experiments declare themselves en-
thusiastic over his success.
Cove has demonstrated that his sim
pie mechanical device will store up
sufficient electricity for an entire house.
He also says the machines, which can
be built at a cost of 500 each, when
incased in glass, will least ten years
without repair or alteration. He began
his experiments through an accident

other metals remain on the floor in the
