of the shooting, was able to tell story
that convinced the jurors Flege was guilty.
II was alleged that the crime was com
mitted by persons who had robbery as a
motive, but this theory was not accepted,
as the process OF elimination Of possible

Money for Revelation.

PARIS Dec ii.-(special Cablegram)-
English tories are not alone in their fear
OF the American dollar. The Portuguese
republic also will have to reckon with It,
according to well informed circles here.
The dollars of the American princess of
Braganza, formerly Miss Anita Stewart OF
New York, are said to be financing the
plans Of Dom Miguel to stir up a counter
revolution In Portugal, not with the idea
OF returning Manuel to the throne. but
making Miguel king and the former Miss
Stewart a royal princess and perhaps
ultimately queen.
Dom Miguel has been in consultation with
"a number OF friends in Portugal, and their
plans have been matuTed. Amply supplied
with money they are. to foster Miguelist
sentiment. especially in the army and to
stir up dissatisfaction with the republic
II is said money goes long way in Portu-
gal, and that men high In the councils OF
the republicans both In civil and military
life can be Won over to the cause il tha

DRY GOODS BUYERS SAY

Rise In Price OF Cotton Does Not scnrs

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-THE response in
the cloth market following the sharp rise
in cotton was the most disappointing fea-
ture Of trade cotton goods men have seen
in some time. Buyers we're not impressed
and they still say they will buy goods
just as they require them and pay what
they have to for them.
Fall River sold about 10000 pieces of
print cloths and convertibles last week.
Brown and bleached domestics rule steady,
but are in very quiet demand. Colored
cottons rule steady and some additional
orders were taken during the week.
Blankets and mapped cottOns of the
heavier classes are in steady demand from
distributors. Wide sheetinss are back on
deliveries and are firm. Ginghams are
stIll the best conditioned fabric in the mar
ket, both as to supplies and orders
The movement I'm export markets in the
last few weeks amounted to about 5000
bales Of standard drills, three-yard and
four-yard sheetings. The prices now asked
for further supplies for China preclude
prospects of new business according to
exporters here. The whole trend of the
market indicates that there will have to be
a further 'curtailment OF the output as
more goods are being made than there is
a demand for at prices commensurate with
cotton costs.

Women who wear small high heels are

those that turn in, as a rule, belong to

possible to determine definitely the cost
Of carrying free mali for all executive de-

IL Is indicated On the report that tho
crusade by the Postoffice department
against the fraudulent use Of the mails
has been pushed with great vigo. During
the last few months the principal Officers
Of thirty-four corporations and firms have
been placed under arrest for swindling the
public by this method.

the eighty important cases recently
brought to a head represent swindling op-
erations that have filched from the Amerl-
can people in less than a decade fully
500, 10000"
Mr. Hitchcock strongly urges that the
entire postal service be taken out Of
politics. He says:
THE recent order Of the president CLASH
flying. on the recommendation Of the de-
partment. all assistant postmasters was an
important step In the right direction. As
a still more important reform, presidential
postmasters of all grades from the first
class to the third. should be placed in
the classified service. This action. which
Is earnestly recommended would unques-
tionabe result in a stn better standard
OF service"
A general extension of the civil service
rules TO fourth class postmasters Is recom-
mended although some Disadvantages have
developed in the application OF the civil
service rules to postmasters OF that class.
