Fall River, Mass. May % (SpeciaD.-
There was fair trading in the print cloth
market last week, and the total sales are
estimated between 10000 and 10000 pieces.
There was very good demand for certain
styles, but manufacturers did not care to
trade at prices named by buyers. The
irregularity in values has been the means
of keeping the market unsettled, and a
greater amount of business could have been

not reach a high figure. For the last sew

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE
Trademarks, Sanitation and Railway
Among American Proposals.

Washington, May 29.-Instructions for the
United States delegates to the fourth in
ternational American conference to be held
in Buenos Ayres beginning on July 10 next,
are in course Of preparation at the State
Department and 1t is expected that they
will be ready for delivery at the first regu-
lar meeting of the delegates here next
Tuesday.
This conference, it is expected, will prove
to be one CT the most important that has
thus far been held, and the American dele
gates will urge the adoption of a number
OF measures of great general Importance.
One OF these will be the adoption, as far
as practicable of laws regulating patents.
trademarks and copyrights among the re-
publics represented. Up to this time a
most unsatisfactory condition has existed
with respect to the observance of laws gov
erning these matters, and it is the hope Of
the United States delegates to bring about
a satisfactory solution of the difficulties
hitherto encountered.
Another matter which will DO strongly
urged by the American delegates will be
the adoption Of uniform laws and regula-
tons regarding consular documents and the
technical requirements OF customs regula-
tons.
Still another matter will be adequate
provision for sanitation and quarantine
among the several states. The United
States specifically desires the adoption of
some plan by which outbreaks of epidemics
may be prevented as far possible. and
other governments may be promptly in
formed in cases where there Is danger OF
the spread of diseases. Another question
will be that of the completion OF the in
tercontinental railway system north and
south through the three Americas.

three months OF poor appetites, have come
back with such renewed vigor that there
is soon to be an unprecedented demand on

been more eager for food than now. Or
dinariIy Salome has been able to eat only
three meals q month, a thirty-hve-pouno
porker being the principal fare each time
but now she can get away with four or five
in four weeks
The fasting season generally ends in
May. While the pythons are reducing the
number Of pigs. rabbits and guinea pigs on
hand at such an alarming rate, the smaller
reptiles, which feed principally on frogs,
are pushing the frog catchers on the Jer-

heretofore fearless Jersey frog colony now
takes to the tall grass at the sight of a

Instead OF serving as food for two reptiles
e pair of rats Of the ordinary waterfront
variety made 3 full course meal yester-
day on the snakes, which had been used
in one of the acts in the Bostock show in
Dreamland, Coney Island. The rats were
supplied by small boys, who had captured
them near bulkhead and sold them to
Captain Bonavita, after the snake charmer
refused to continue her act because her
assistants had not been fed for three
months.
The rats were placed in the reptile box on
Saturday night, and yesterday when the
charnler peered into the boz she was sur
prised to the snakes crushed almost to
q pulp. while the rodents watched over
them with eyes bullying and teeth glisten-
ing. There are other reptiles to be fed, but
rats will not be accepted as food for them.
