TRADE LACKS SNAP.

New Yirk. Oct. S.-Bradstreet's says:
largement in general demand, is the
notable feature this week. AS whole
while demand is fairly good, buying
continues cautious, there is little dis
position to anticipate distant require
ment and trade lacks snap. Weather
conditions have not been entirely ia
vorabIe.
Some few sections note benefits to
trade in footwear and fall festivals
have helped attract buyers to leading
centers. In addition, past free market
ing of crops and good crop results have
helped sentiment but political discus
sion and price uncertainties have re-
pressed demand. In one line, however,
that of cotton manufacturing, past cur
taflment, an absence of any apparent
weight of stocks and higher prices for
raw material, caused by official reports
OF crop deterioration in September, have
made buyers more eager for some lines
of fabrics. Higher grade fabrics note
chief strength.
Retail trade generally awaits the
stimulus of colder weather. Collections
as a whole are fair to good.
Iron and steel lines are reporting a
rather better feeling but little enlarge
ment of buying of pig iron is reported.

bard Stirling wife of William R. Stirling.
senior partner of Peabody, Houghteling
& Company, was found dead at the base
of the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan

Mrs. Strings absence from her room
was discovered.
Mrs Stirling had died of exposure. Not
a bone was broken in her fall over the so
foot bluff and she received no injury Suf-
ficient to have caused death. She left her
room on the first floor of the house some
time during the night and the announce
ment given out by members of the fam
lily yesterday was that she had been suf-
fering from neuritis and insomnia and
had, presumably, left the house to get
breath of fresh air.

He FELL 1,64O FEET.
Russian Aviator Is Thrown Out of His
Biplane.

st: Petersburg, Oct. S.-Captain
Macievitch, the Russian aviator, was
killed by a fall from a biplane, while
at height of 1.640 feet his machine
upset while trying to exceed an alti-
tude record of 3.937 feet which he
made in a Bleriot monoplane October
3, and was trying to exceed this
Macievitch had risen $3.50 feet when
he decided to descend. When at a
height of 1,640 feet his machine upset
and the aviator was thrown out. He
came hurting down like a plummet,
reaching the ground before the BIZ
plane. Every bone in his body was
broken. 1t is the belief Of the physi-
clans that he died of heart failure be-
fore reaching the ground. Loss of
control of lever is supposed to have
been responsible for the accident.
The fall of the aviator caused a
panic among the spectators. Women
shrieked and tainted. The wife of
Macievitch became delirious, and it is
feared she will be permanently insane.
Macievitch was considered the most
skillful and careful of the Russian
military aviators, and only last We'd
nesday took up Premier StoIypin for a
ten minutes fight.

STOOD RIGID IN DEATH.
Man Had Been Dead Three Hours
When Approached.

St. Louis Mo-, Oct. S.-Rigid in death
against a wall, a stranger stood at
Eighth and Walnut streets, for three
hours yesterday morning, while hurrying
throngs passed and repassed with but
glance at the supposed sleeper.
The stiff figure leaned as if in a doze,
and the half closed eyes and dropping
shoulders lent color to the belief he was
asleep. The hours slipped by from to 8
o'clock.
THAT man keeps mighty still in this
cold weather" remarked Patrolman Finn
to his walking partner, Lindsay.
Better wake him up" replied the lat
ter.
When the policeman's hand was laid
upon the quiet shoulder the figure crum-
bled up and sank to the walk
Fraid he's in bad shape" said the po-
nceman.
The unknown was hurried to the city
dispensary, where 1t was found he had
been dead for three hours from heart
disease. Papers on his body led to the
belief his name is Michael Maroney. The
body waits at the morgue

SEES HODGES'BLUNDER

The Republican campaign now is a

chairman DoIley does not anticipate
much more of the fair weather that
mas marked the campaign so far from
ms standpoint. He said today that he
expected the Democrats to spring a
coup at any time. He expects unusual
activity in the camp of the enemy be-
fore long.
With the election only four weeks
distant everything has drifted in favor
OF the G. o. P. The opposition has
not succeeded in tearing anything
loose, or Earring the atmosphere. or
exciting the multitude. Apathy, the
foe of the minority party has ruled
sc far. Doney believes that Hender-
son Martin, chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee, realizes the state of
affairs and that he either is disheart-
ened or is preparing to sir across a
hand grenade, probably the latter.
Any decided move on the part of
the Democratic chairman will be met
promptly by the Republican commit
tee. Now that it is anticipated it can
be all the better met DoIley feels
when he attacked Bryan and Roosevelt
and Stubs in his Concordia speech.

was large at both meetings.
