THE INCREASE OF EXPORTS. .Weakness In Stocks DeveIOped—Good De- mand For Manufactured Cotton Goods. Large Gold Imports Continue. Failures of the Week. NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—R. G. Dan 8: 00. ’s Weekly review of trade says: There is still no distinct improvement in business, although conditions favor it. Confidence slowly rises, speculative buy- ing of materials for future use continues, imports of gold do not cease,and the Bank of England has not tried to check them by further advance in rates, as the weight of the demand now falls upon France. But an enormous business is held back until the future is more clear. Maine’s great majority has no such influence as many anticipated from a verdict less emphatic. To many minds nothing an eastern state can do in a contest represented as sectional gives sufficient assurance how the western and southern states may decide. As usual, when an upward impulse in stocks is ex- pected, haste to realize caused decline, which has averaged 51 cents per share for railroad and 84 cents for trust stocks, and the men who most desired to buy were the last to interrupt the selling; Outside of, speculative markets the impression grows that certain and safe revival may not be expected until November. In cotton, hides, wool and pig iron buy- . ing openly speculative in character marks the current business. Resumption of work ‘ by a good part of the Fall River cotton mills and advances in some kinds of cot— ton goods helped to raise the price of mid~ dling uplands to 8% cents again, though realizing sent it down to 8% cents. The favorite speculative estimate, which was about 400,000 bales in error a year ago, alarmed many by naming 7, 800 000 bales as the minimum and 9,000,000 as the maximum, a range wide enough in itself to suggest do,u\bt and either quantity with stocks carried over is more than the world has ever consumed. Wheat has also risen 1/ cents, although western receipts of 6,626,830 bushels exceed last year' s and in three weeks have been 17,855,868 bush- els against 16,791,660 last year. Helped by purchases at present low prices, Atlantic exports Were 1,812,919 bushels, flour in- cluded, and for three weeks 5,796,184 against 3,837,129 last year. Corn has scarcely advanced, as western receipts are still as large as a year ago, with exports smaller. , Weakness In Stocks. Weakness in stocks was partly due to small earnings, St. Paul especially report- ing decrease and all reports for September thus far decrease 1. 6 per cent from last year and 13.1 from 1892, returns being less fa. vorable for the second than for the first" week. ‘The west bound movement is light, especially in dry goods and shoes, but cost bound tonnage from Chicago has been as large as last year and 4 per cent larger than in 1892. Payments through clearing houses have been for the week 17. 3 per cent less than last year and. 24. 4 per cent less than in 1892. The decrease in foreign trade is large, but has its cheerful side,as the decline of 25 per cent for the week and 22. 7 for the month in imports increases the probability of gold imports, though do- mestic exports also have decreased this month. The August return showed 819, - 194,342 excess 'of exports against $15,131,- 324 excess of imports last year. The one industry showing increase of working force is the cotton manufacture, restriction of output having secured more healthy demand for some goods. Most of the mills have started or are about to start, though the uncertainty of the cotton market embarrasses. Prices of staple goods have advanced so generally that the average of representative quotations is 6.7 per cent higher than in the first week of August. NO such improvement is seen in woolens, but the speculative buying of wool, nearly all at Boston, has raised sales to 17,715,300 pounds for the past three weeks against 17,133,470 last. year and 24,572,400 in 1892. The maturity of large wool notes is said to be the cause of selling, and prices do ,not rise, though quotations" are more nearly maintained. There has been a fair Week in dress goods and better demali for cloakings, but the heavy fail- ure of a Philadelphia firm tends to restrict operations. . Boots, Shoes, Etc. The boot and shoe industry is running near the end of its orders for fall goods and receiving scarcely any orders for spring. In women’s shoes and men’s brogans a few concerns have work for six weeks ahead, but a season of slackness is near, and shipments for three weeks have been only 3 per cent more than in 1894 and 8 per cent more than in 1892. Hem- lock sole and union leather have advanced slightly, making the average of all kinds half of 1 per cent higher, and hides at Chi- cago have been so freely bought that the average of prices has advanced 14 per cent in two weeks. Slightly higher prices for men’s grain shoes and brogans are quoted, but the average has not changed 1 per cent since the middle of June. The iron and steel manufacture is still waiting for business with nearly half its producing capacity idle, but hopefulness and the speculative buying ofpig iron sus— tain prices. Sales said to amount to 25,- 000 tons have been made of Alabama iron for shipment to England, but the home demand does not enlarge at all, and the .. various asSociations still hold combination prices, though the demand is remarkably slender. The coke output isfless than 50,- 000 tons weekly. Gold imports continue, over $5,000,000 having been ordered, making $36,385,000 in all, of which about $24,890,000 has ar-. ,rived. The interior m‘ovement draws off the money about as fast as it comes, $4,- 650,000 having gone westward this week. The New Orleans difficulties have passed, but the northwest is making large drafts. Recent heavy failures increase the caution of banks, and, while more commercial pa- per is offered, the ruling rate of 81 per cent greatly retards increase in business. Fail- ures for the past week have been 317 in ;the United States against 213 last year and 32 in Canada against 32 last year. field For Highway Robbery.

GHANOELLOB M’GILL REVERSED. A Ra‘llway’s Disregard of an Injunction _ Sustained on Appeal. TRENTON, Sept. 19.—Chief Justice Beas-. ley filed a long opinion in the court of er- rors and appeals, reversing Chancellor Mc- Gil-l in the case Of the Pennsylvania Rail- road company, appellant, and the National Docks and N ew Jersey Junction Connect- ing Railway company, respondent. The case has been in the courts for a long time and came before the court of errors on an appeal. from a decree to enjoin the appel- lant at Jersey City to refrain from oppos- ing the cutting of its tracks and to facili- way certain of its trains. The respondent, by condemnation, had acquired the right to cross the caryard of the appellant by means of a subterranean passageway. The. appellant refused to obey the orderof the court and was adjudged in contempt. In reversing the chancellor the chief jus- tice sustains the position of the appellant that it had a right to disregard the in- the case the mandate of the court has been absolutely suspended. The chief justice says that, while the practice adopted by the chancellor was the practice of the in said court and cannot have the sanction of the'court of last resort. Flew a Hundred Feet. CHICAGO, Sept. 19. —_-The first public test of Octave Chanute’ s albatross soaring ma- chine, invented and constructed by Wil- liam Paul, was made at Millers, Ind, un- der favorable coluiltions. The machine was heavily loaded with ballast _so as to prevent it from flying any great distance and was anchored by four ropes, each 200 feet long. The flight was 100 feet, but the descent and final alighting on the sand Were as graceful and even as those of a bird. Beat Them With a Strap. WHITE PLAINS, N.

Custer-’5 Magnanimlty to His Con- federate Captives. .The morning after the battle the prisoners were ordered to fall in line. Soon General Custer and his staff ap- peared on the scene, and this was the signal for an outburst of uproarous ap- plause. The sky was fairly darkened with caps thrown in the air, the band played “Yankee Doodle,” and alto- gether it was'a sight to sadden the cap- tive ‘Confederatis, more especially as they beheld eighteen of their battle flags, which had been torn with shot and shell on a; hundred battlefields, now adorning the train of the con- queror. General Custer seemed to realize this, and with a. delicacy’ of feelingandl ' P inag'llanimity of spirit which only true chivalry can appreciate, as soon‘as ,the applause had subsided and the band ceased, he turned to its leader and. said: , “Give the boys (meaning the pris oners) Dixie.” As the sweet strains of the Confeder- ate war song rolled in waves of liquid melody through the air, General Custer took off his hat and. waved it as a sig- nal, and the applause was deafening. The Union huzza and the rebel yell, blended into one and shook notes, as well as hearts and hands, across the bloody chasm. _ Years afterward, when the chivalrous Custer rode 'gallantly to his death in his last charge, it sent a thrill of pain throughout the length and breadth of our land, for in his death one of the. most daring and unselfish of men had , , perished, nor can ‘it be doubted, had he been spared. he would’have been one of , the most potential factors in bringing about that golden era: W hen heroes of the Blue and Gray Shall each to each due homage pay.

Decision Reached by a Congress of Proml~ nent Hindoo Barbers. A strange incident occurred in Bom- bay recently. A monster meeting of 1 Hindu barbers was held for the purpose of considering the question of the” 1m- propriety of shaving the heads of.Hindu widows, and thereby disfiguring them for life. About 400 barbers having as- sembled, one of them. named Babajee‘ More, read a pamphlet in Mahratti. in which he stated that the barbers of old were happy and contented, but latterly, as though a curse had descended on their heads, trade had fallen off and they had become poor. The curse could only be accounted fol by the fact that they were committing a great sin in shaving the heads of poor, innocent widows. thus depriving them of their best ornament. ' It was against the Hindu Scriptures to deprive a widOW of her hair, and doubtless it was the curses of the widows that had low- ered their calling. The meeting thereupon unanimously resolved that no barber should shave a widow’s head, and that if he did he should be excommunicated. Told by a Washington Detective. “I was disgusted a few days ago at a case I worked up,” remarked a de- tective. “A young lady who was possessed of considerable money and a number of jewels sent for me. She had been ‘robbed of some diamonds valued at 39‘“. era] hundred dollars. ‘ I finally found all but one pin, they having been pawned. I obtained a._ description of the man who borrowed money . upon them, but for several weeks could not locate him. When I did his landlady said that he had left that morning and. was going to Baltimore. I watched the depot, and was soon rewarded by seeing the man step out of a hack I seized his arm and said: “ ‘You are arrested.’ “ ‘What for?’ he asked in a. tone that showed he was not much surprised but greatly frightened. “ ‘That will be explained at the sta- tion,’ I leplied. “There was a feminine shriek from the hack, and, glancing into, the ve- hicle, I saw it was my fai1'~client. They had just been married and were start- ing on their wedding trip. Itook in the _Situation at a glance, and then realizing that I was powerless under the new order of affairs, ‘1 said: "‘ fI see now that you are not the man I want.’ and let him go. “Then he began to bluster, and taking him aside, I gave him to understand I knew of his robbing the girl to pay the ' expenses of his courtship and he quieted down very suddenly.” -- Washington Evening Star.

It is an easy matter to get to Cripple Creek. You can leave Denver late in the Y evening and have a comfortable ride either ma narrow gauge or astandard gauge Pullman, and arrive there in time for breakfast at Wolfe’ s. If you _get up early enough, you can possibly get a- good breakfast, but if you wait until the crowd begins to descend upon the dining roOm,- you may not fare so well. In .the language of the day, everything goes at Wolfe’ s—for that matter everything goes anywhere' 1n the district. The CripplelC'reeker'is no re- spectergof persons, he is ' the most inde- endent man of the day. Wolfe’s Hotel has been the centre of interest in Cripple Creek ever since there was a camp amid those rounded hills back of Pike’s Peak. Wolfe’ s first hotel was a tent. Then he put up a small frame shell with canvas partitions ' between the bedrooms, and his patrons had to remove the dirt and dust of the stage ride from Florissant with water dipped from a barrel that stood ‘cOny , veniently near in the hotel oflice.- Wolfe has now a very comfortable hotel, and, though the barrel has been 1e1noved, the wash basins still remain, an important feature of the decOrations of the main ofiice. Of course, he has an electric annunciator, an elaborately gal ved office counter, bell boys, and all adjuncts of a. modern hotel, and when he gets round to it he probably will have a properly equipped wash room for his guests. A feature of the hotel' 1s the bull pen. On one side of the ofi‘ice is a capacioua ireplace where great logs snap and :rack most cheerily during these cold lays. This fireplace and the cane bot- omed chairs scattered about are for the xclusive use for those who have regis- ered at the hotel, and to make ”this :lcarly understood a large placard hangs lver the fireplace, whereupon is printed 1 plain English a warning to outsiders .1at is unmistakable in its meaning. tunning between the heavy wOoden olumns supporting the ceiling of the dice are great round rods of iron that once ofi a larra portion of the ofice :pace, including --:he fire place and easy -:hairs, and it is this place that has re- ceived the appellation of the bull pen. .111 the evening the main ofiice is a strange sight. Without the space pro- tected by the iron rods are massed the lripple, Creekers as thick as they can stand; within the bull pen the tender- :oot from the East and the Colorado in- vestOr‘, the mining expert and the repre- sentatives of mercantile houses stand and sit at their case. . The Cripple Creeker , outside the rail- ing looks through the bars and carries on his conversation with the 'guest of the hotel, if he happens to have business with them, but he may not overstep the rules, for Wolfe has an eagle eye and does not hesitate to express his mind to violators of the rules of the house. 'rhenate for the Wedding. . Mrs. Swayback sighed when her daughter told her that Mr. Trivvet had asked her to be his wife and that she had become engaged. “I suppose I ought not to feel badly about it,” Mrs. Swayback added, wip- ing away a tear with the corner of her apron. “It is woman’s destiny to be married. I left the home of my happy girlhood to become Mrs. Swayback, and now you must leave to become Mrs. Trivvet. Still, I cannot help feeling my loss very deeply. A mother can never lose her daughter with indifference; she can never give her up—not even to the best man in the world—without deep reluctance.” By this time Mrs. Swayback was sob— hing violently and her daughter was trying to comfort her. “I shall come to see you often, mother darling,” she said. “Of course you will; but it is a great trial to part with you, child. You must 'not mind your fond mother’s crying a bit over it.” _ "Dry your eyes, 1 mother. I’m sure you couldn’t desire a finer young man than Mr. Trivvet for a son-in-law, and of course you expected me to get mar- 1ied some time.” Mrs. Swayback's sObs broke out afresh and for a time she refused to be comforted. Then she applied a hand- kerchief vigorously to her eyes and asked: . “When is the wedding to be?" “In about six months, mamma, dear.” “Six months!” exclaimed Mrs. Sway- back. "What on earth does the pro- crastinator mean by putting it off that long? Mary Ann, I don’t believe he intends to marry you at all, so I don’t. If he did he’d insist on having the wed- ding come off inside six weeks at the furthest.”—Judge. ' All the Same Thing. Professor—The ancients used palms as an emblem of capture and victory._ .
