E. Y. ' Judd, of the Pendleton Wool
Scouring A Packing Company, writea
from the East that the recent organiz
tion of the worsted mill trust baa de
moralized the wool market and
largely responsible for the decline i
the price of wool, bnyers are at tea
as to the future action ef the trust and
are unable to determine what their
own action is to be. Mr. J odd aays
that this trust alone will consume
100.000.000 pounds of wool annually,
which iaone-tbird of the total annual
d rod act of the country. The wool
trust has not yet entered the market
and have given no hint of their in ten
tion. As soon as the nnoertainty ol
their action ia rranoved the market may
have a firmer toue and it may not. The
outlook for wool this year ia not the
beat, aa everybody ia timid on de
clining market. , ;

: ' The control of the Ash-taking appli
. ancea of lower Pnget sound by the Pa
cifio American fish Company tt an
assured fact. The last dollar of the
' 9100,000 of stock which the vendees
asked the trapmen to subscribe has
' been taken. The capital stock of the
company ia $5,000,000. Of this
$1,000,000 is preferred and 14,000,000
; common. In part payment, which
averages about 7i per cent of the pur-
chaee price, the trapmen are given pre
ferred atork at par. For every dollar
of preferred taken at par they are given
a dollar's worth of common stock. The
preferred stock la guaranteed to pay 8
per cent per annum.
Good Mark for Cattle.
Cattle-bnyers are busy interviewing

' that large cattle company would be
done at Ontario aa heretofore, and that
they would, in all probability, ship
more stock this season than last.

Eastern stockholders are located at On

QUAINT OLD MARKET,
Corner la Baltlnere that Rivals the
Faaioua Veroaa r'quar. ,
There is a curious little old sret
market lu Baltimore that almost vies
In life and color with that famous
square In Verona, said to be the most
nlcturesuue market lu all Europe. The
dlgulfled colored attendants of the Bel-
lair Market, on Gay street, come In
moat part to their booths by virtue of
Inheritance. From father to son Ao-
scend these gayly decked stalls, which
line both sides of the roadways, and
there Is aa air , of aristocracy here
which is quite as exclusive aa that of
any court In Europe.
Threading their way In and out,
among these stalls, screened from the
sun and rain by varl-colored canvas
umbrellas, may be seen priests in cas
socks and caps and sometimes, oddly
enough, with overcoata of modern type
nuns In gowns of lud lee blue, with
blacks stoles tightly drawn across the
shoulders and upon whose head rests
a most curious headgear, a cap of stiffly
starched white muslin, whose wing
like brim extends at least twelve Inch
es, bristling all around. Many are the
pleasant greetings exchanged over
shrimp and white bait, whose virtues
are extolled In softly modulated tones.
From stalls where Early Bose potatoes.
Bermuda onions and Maryland sprouts
are temptingly displayed come shouts
of glee over a sharp bargain, in which
the thumb has played a prominent
part .
The most popular corner of the mar
ket Is the booth whose wares consist of
birds of Impossible plumage, silks of
Indescribable hue and Jewelry of won
derful brilliancy. Its patrons for the
most part dusky maids keep op
swift Are of meaningless chatter while
purchases are being made, retiring
uuder a strong volley of comment from
the surrounding lookers-on, and over It
all the demure, respectful courtesy of
those In charge a lasting bit of the
king ago, and In sharp contrast with
the Independent, curt manner of the
Northern market men, all business, no
sentiment New York Herald.
. LAW AS INTERPRETED, ...

there Is no law regulating the matter,
entered Into by persons who went there
with the avowed purpose of evading
the laws of their residence. Is held. In
Norman vs. Norman (CaL), 42 L. R. A.
343, to be invalid.
The right to shoot at a person who ia
merely running away from an officer to
escape from arrest for a misdemeanor.
Is denied In Brown vs. Weaver (Miss.),
42 L. R. A. 423, and, If the officer does
shoot wrongfully. It Is held to be an
official act covered by his bond.
. A statute which, although expressed
In general terms, enumerates restric
tions which constitute Indentlflcation,
rather than classification, and Is applic
able only to a single highway Improve
ment, Is held. In re Henneberger (N. Y.),
42 L. R. A. 132, to be In violation of a
constitutional provision against local
laws. . ' -. 1 i .
To picket the premises of a person
boycotted. In order to Intercept bis
teamsters or to prevent persons going
there to trade, is held unlawful In Beck
vs. Railway Teamsters' Protective
Union (Mich.), 42 L. B. A. 407, on the
ground that It Is an act of intimidation
and an unreasonable Interference with
the right of free trade.
Money Earned by Dramatto Writers.
Wonderful stories are told of , the
amounts paid to dramatic authors,
writes W. J. Henderson In Scrlbner's.
If they are true, they would prove that
the quickest way to get rich was to
write a successful play. It takes about
two years, however, for skilled dram
atist, like Bronson Howard, to make
a play, and he cannot guarantee that
it will be liked by the unfathomable
public. I do not know what Mr. How
ard receives, but the typical pay of
dramatic author is 6 per cent of the
gross receipts weekly. But there Is no
fixed standard of payment Some play
wrights get a certain sum down and
the usual royalty of 5 per cent Others
are paid on a sliding scale. One noted
pair of collaborators received for one
of their productions 6 per cent of the
gross receipts up to $0,000 and 1 per
over that figure. As their work drew
$10,000 a week for the first six weeks,
their manager had to pay them $700 a
week for the nse of their work. In the
case of purely theatrical back-work
smaller prices are paid, and the rate Is
often fixed at so much a night, $23
being a good fee. For adaptations roy
alties are seldom paid In this country.
A manager usually hires a back dram
atist and pays him a lump sum for bit
work. For operetta adaptations very
small prices are paid; that Is why the
adaptations are usually such poof
trash. No man who can do good work
can afford to accept the terms. Orig
inal operettas, if successful, pay both
managers and . authors very well.
D'Oyly Carte offered Gilbert and Sulli
van 10,000 down for tbe exclusive En
glish rights to the "Pirates of Penz
ance." They declined the offer, accept
ed their customary royalty and got
12,000. .-.v.. ,
Illiteracy In Russia.
Tbe only obtainable statistics of the
number of persons In the Russian em
pire who can neither read nor write
are to be found In the reports of tbe
army and navy recruiting departments.
A recruit Is always asked If he can read
and write, and bis answer Is registered.
Tbe latest reports show that 40 per cent
of the youths who are raised by tbe con
scription are totally illiterate. As a vast
number more males tban females are
able to read In Russia, and as It is rare
to find an aged peasant who can read
and write, it may be accepted as a fact
that probably not 20 per cent of the
entire population of tbe empire has ob
tained the first rudiments of this knowl
edge. . Probably tbe central provinces
are the most backward. There are over
ten thousand villages In Russia where
no school exists. It is calculated that
by disbanding 100,000 men of bis huge
army, tbe Czar would have funds at his
disposal for building 10,000 schools and
10,000 village schoolmaster's houses,
and would have a million pounds ster
ling over for paying the teachers' sal
aries. And be would still bare 900,000
soldiers a number greater than the
combined land forces of England, Ger
many and the United Statesv Lolsurs)

When it seemed that tbe limit had
about been reached with wrought iron
as the main reliance of the designer,
mild steel had been to peifected as to
enable progress to be maintained. The
large boilers necessary to withstand the
high pressures and furnish the power
for high speeds would have been Im-
uble but lor mild steel, and the
same thing is true ol the moving parts
of the engine. It may be noted also
that workmanship bad improved, and
the nse of anti-friction metals for bear
ings, combined with this improved
workmanship, enabled tbe high rota
tional speeds to be carried out with
safety and reliability.

received its nams on account of its iron

raining tree, the leaves of whieh are
long and narrow. It continues in eon.

tbe branches are covered with a eloud

and young women are ao taught
There Is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration In this. If a young

Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion! but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Flnkham's address Is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss Mliun
F. JoHMtorr, Centralla, Pa , shows what
neglect will do, and telle bow Mrs.
Pinkham helped hen
"My health became so poor that I
bad to leave school. I was tired all the
time, and bad dreadful pains In my
side and back. I was also troubled
with Irregularity of menses. I waa
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my frlenda became alarmed.;, My
mother, who Is a firm believer In your
remedies from experience, thought per
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
yon gave, and used Lydia E- Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever waa. I have gained flesh and have
good color. I am completely cured of
Irregularity."
