New Style Marriage.

Los Angeles.-Despite the assertion
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carleton w. Wash
burne that their moral anarchy" mar
riage is a success, those who have
criticised their venture declare that
six months is too short a period in
which to decide the success or failure
of a marriage. The astonishing con-
tracts agreed to by the young couple
included the following terms: The
marriage was to terminate the instant
the love of either grew cold. There
shoul always be an even division of
finances, regardless of who was earn
ing the most. Neither was to attempt
any restraint whatsoever on the other
No objection was to be made even if
wife or husband decided for the good
of the race to incur other parental re-
sponsibility.

SPECIAL MARKET LETTER
Sharp Decline in Sugar Due to the
Tariff.

Sharp Decline in Sugar Due to the
Tariff.
All grades of refined sugar declined
twenty cents per cwt. today after the
market had remained stationary for
over two months. Early in March raw
sugar advanced in price, but the mar
ket reacted and gradually declined un-
Ill now the lowest point this year has
been reached. At the present time
raw sugars are netting the Cuban
growers less than 2 cents per pound,
which is less than the cost of produc-
ton on many of the estates. The
large crop in Cuba this year, with the
tariff agitation, are the principal
causes for these low prices. The pres
ent differentiaI between raw and re-
fined sugar in New York is II cents
per hundred pounds and the average
difference for years has been about 85
cents. Congress has just convened to
take up the tariff schedules, including
sugar. Considerable opposition to the
Presidents program has developed in
the Senate and we do not expect to
see the sugar tariff settled until mid
summer.
Until the import duty is reduced we
do not expect to see any lower prices
on sugar.
The Rasin Growers association in
California are reported to have tota
of $75O,000 subscribed towards their
$1,OOO,OOO capitalization. Their organ
ization is practically assured and al
ready it's influence is reflected IN the

association their plan is to insure {
fair price to the growers and make {

and the consumers and still give thu

Cheese-Although present quota

the east have already advanced and
local quotations are expected to keep

a reaction from the slump that the

in the east. Local lard remains I'M
changed with quotations strong. No
change is noted in the cured meats
situation with the exception of slight
advance in eastern breakfast bacon.
Quotations in general are strong.
Hides and Wool-No change is re-
corded in the situation. Wool con-
tinues uncertain in price, with no one
able to predict what the price will be,
on account of prospects of the removal
of the tariff. Offerings of hides are
limited.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-A little better feeling
seems to have developed in the mar
ket during the past week and good
fruit was having fairly good demand,
but poor stocks remained motionless.
Quotations are unchanged. At New
York the market was weak the de-
mand poor and offerings heavy. At
Chicago the arrivals were heavy and
of an inferior quality, which had a
tendency to depress the market.
Oranges-Nothing new has devel-
oped. Good stock is scarce, but sales
are slow; this is probably due to the
high prices which are prevailing. The
market continues strong.
Other Fruits-Quotations on other
fruits remain unchanged. The market
in general is firm, and the demand of
a satisfactory nature.
Potatoes-As concerns this commod-
ity, nothing new can be said. There
can be no question that thousands OF
bushels will be left to rot in the pits

Lansing, Kan.-Fire that destroyed
four large buildings and caused a loss
estimated at 100000 in the Kansas
state penitentiary here Saturday after
noon was spread by convicts, who scat

in the path of the flame, according to
a statement by Fire Chief Michael

Parole Officer John Higgins and

firmed the opinion of Chief Boiler.
Warden j. X. Codding said he believed
it impossible that convicts had fed the
flames.
Prepare for Mutiny.
Prison officials made every prepare
ton for a mutiny and the towns of
Lansing and Leavenworth were in
great fear of an outbreak, but the
convicts as a whole preserved order,
hundreds of them giving assistance in
fighting the flames.
Their efforts largely were respon-
sible for saving the building occupied
by the women prisoners and the Grim
inally insane. Believing this building
doomed the women were taken out
and the insane convicts transferred to
the cell house The building was only
slightly damaged.
Insane Prisoners Frantic.
The scene of the greatGat excitement
was in the insane ward. The insane
convicts. driven to frenzy by the sigst

Bradstreet's says:

Irregularity, with a tendency toward
more or less repression is the chief
characteristic of trade advices. 1t is
true that retail trade has improved
somewhat and that returns from the
northwest generally and from parts OF
the southwest show activity. but on
the other hand the situation in the
south, as well as in the f1ood-strickeD
areas of the west is such as to cur
tain buying, while in the east there
is disposition temporarily to mark
time. In fact, it is probable that there
is a general desire to go slow, espe-
cially as tariff matters are now we'll
to the front, while at the same time
money and credit matters demand at
tention.

The Financier says:
Although preliminary estimates in
dictated that the New York clearing
house banks gained in the neighbor-
hood of two to three million dollars
during the week as result of the flow
of money toward this center the state
ment of actual condition made by the
clearing house institutions on Satur-
day showed a decrease in cash hold
ings amounting to $5,54O,000. 1t is
rather difficult to explain the discrep-
ancy between estimates and actual
showings, but the result was to ma
terially decrease the surplus holdings
of the banks. Another item which
seemed to be at variance with expecta-
tons was a decrease of 1888, 900 in

just noted, fell $s,696OOO and excess.

face of the soil. These two things
may be accomplished by good
methods of cultivation. When
the soil if not too wet, it is good
practice to run a spike tooth
smoothing harrow, or some form
of weeder, over the corn field
three or four days after planting.
This will destroy most of the early
weeds, besides breaking any crust
which may have formed over the
terminating seeds. This work
would often endanger the young
plants if done later than four days
after planting. The first regular
cultivation should be given five or
six days after the corn is up, and
thereafter civilizations should be
repeated after each rain, and be-
sides, often enough to keep down
all weeds. Shallow cultivation
forming a surface soil mulch is
the best for a dry, season, while
even during wet times the cult
walton should be in no case deep
enough to break the roots of the
corn plants. During the first
part of the growing season the
cultivation of the corn crop chould
be so thorough that it will not be
necessary to continue cultivation
longer than the time when this
work begins to break down the
corn. H. B. Hendrick, Asst Ag-
