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. , ; Th FUkt Combln. : ' The control of the Ash-taking appli . ancea of lower Pnget sound by the Pa cifio American fish Company tt an assured fact.

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. .

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.
