A Corner in Candles,

As an example of trusts and monop-
lies prevalent even in that early day
t may be mentioned that in 1850 one
.enjamin Crabb obtained the exclu-
i've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for fourteen years. A
year later, however, factory was
tarted In Providence, r. l., and
within the decade there were eight
actories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly
reduced the price of candles, which
not long before sold for five shillings
pound. In those days $1.25 was
worth fully three tines as much as
it is now.-Designer.

LAWYERS GO ON STRIKE
The Camorrist Trial Is Adjourned I'm
til Next Wednesday.

Viterbo, Italy, July 22.-The lawyers
for the defense have struck, and as
a consequence the Canorrists trial was
adjourned today until next Wednesday
to afford them time in which to decide
on their future attitude. Unless some
agreement is reached with the court
and the prosecution before the sessions
are resumed 1t is probable that the
trial will be definitely stopped and
later begun all over again.
The trouble began yesterday when
Captain Fabroni, one of the Crowns
best witnesses, in defending himself
and his associates of the carabineers,
denounced Lawyer Lioy IS a suborner
of perjury and Lioy replied in an I'M
diEnified manner. During tho exchange
all of the other lawyers left the court
room and later sent a message to Pres
ident Bianchi saying that they could
not, with dignity, return to the court
if they were not assured of protection.
At the same time they said they were
taking steps to persuade the offending
lawyer to withdraw from the case.
When court opened today only four
OF the attorneys were present and they
came to lay the case of the defense
before the court. They asked the
president to postpone the trial to We'd
nesday, saying they wished in the
meantime to consult with their col
leagues in Naples and Rome regard
ing what action they ShOGto take. Ihey
said they would insist on protection
from what they called the provoca-
tons of the carabineers end intimated
that in exchange for this protection
they would bring about the withdrawal
( of I,ioy from the defense.
The accused, with the exception of
Bartolozzi. who fell in a fit during the
hubbub yesterday, were present and
objected to the proposed delay. Giro
Vitozz. the priest. weeping, said:
THE protraction of this agony is
killing u.s.
When the postponement was grant
ed the prisoners left the cage, protest
ing that between the uncompromising
attitude of the lawyers on the one
hand and the red tape OF court proce-
dure on the other, they had already
lsnffered five years lmprisonment

SOCIALISTS FIGHT POLL TAX
other Towns Follow Lead of Girard
Men,

Girard, Kan, July 22.-The action
of the Socialist justice of the peace Of
Washington township, Crawford coun-
ty. in declaring the Poll Tax Law I'M
constitutional is attracting attention in
other counties.
The Socialists of Girard have adopt
ed resolutions declaring they will op-
pose the payment of pol. tax. Girard
has a Socialist mayor, and he is placed
in the position of prosecuting those
who refuse to pay the tax. while as
secretary of the Socialists he is oppos-
ing the tax. The prosecuting attorney
declares the action of the justice in
Washington township in 10 way affects
Girard, and he will prosecute the case.
The same evidence used in the
Washington township case will be en-
ployed in the Girard cases. This evil
dence consists chiefly of testimony of
two members of the state legislature.
They declare that at the time the poll
tax law was enacted members were
reading more than fifty bills on the
floor Of the house at one time, and
that all were adopted at the close Of
the session without full understanding
of what the bills were. One of these
was the poll tax law.
Socialists of Chanute have taken &C.
ton similar to that of the Girard local,
and there will be arrests there.
In Pittsburg, Kan. alFo there is a
move to refuse to pay the poll tax

TRADE SLOW TO EXPAND
Business Is Held Back by Crop aud
TariR Uncertainties.

New York. July 22.-Bradstreet's
says:
While trade sentiment is more cheer
full, based upon the Improvement IN
crop prospects, actual business al
wholesale has been and is still slow
to expand. For this reason conserva-
tism as to the fall outlook, some price
uncertainties, as in cotton goods, where
sharp declines in raw material have
brought about revisions in the goods
markets; tariff uncertainties and the
desire to obtain a clearer view Of crop
out turn, are all held contributory.
Retail trade has largely been con-
fined to clearances of summer goods,
but the results here have not been uni
forrnly satisfactory.
Perhaps the most uniformly favor
able reports as to trade come from the
south, where bumper crop prospects
stimulate a fair degree of confidence,
and from points of the southwest,
where the passing of the seasons long
drouth has improved sentiment Col
1ections range from slow to fair.
