Simmons, adivsory director of the Simmons Hardware Company, stated that there was a $30,000,000 deal on, which would probably end in the consolidation of four of the larg est hardware concerns in the coun try. Florence Burns, the young Brook lyn woman who has been in the cus tody of the police of New York city since February 15, under suspicion of knowing how Walter Brooks met his death, was discharged from custody by Justice Mayer. Unless one party or the other re cedes from its present position, the probabilities are that every brewery In Boston will be closed April 1. The trouble may also affect the barten ders of that and other cities. The 1500 brewery workmen have request ed the master brewers to grant them an eight-hour work day April 1, without reduction of wages.

New York. March 24. After one of the busiest sensons in lis history the New York State Legislature closes next Thursday, which by the way will be the earliest adjournment on re cord for that body. A large number of bills have been passed and equally as may shelved, but the most notable of the latter is the "three platoon" bill, which has been tho cause of a great expenditure of money by the policemen of New York.

The English hats arc made principally In Belgium and tho makers have declared a DO per cent advance in prices largely based on the oxcess of demand over supply. Last year the Panama here was so popular that the supply was quickly exhausted de spite the fact that some of the prices paid for designs were high enough to make a fashionable woman's milliner hide her face and admit that she did not know how to charge. If they are ngni to be In style, It will relieve the minds of many a young man who squandorcd more on his last season's Panama than he could nfford and whose only hope of getting square with his finances is to wear his Pan ama another summer. Admiral Taylor has addressed n letter to Presldont Cantor of Man hattan In regard to the bill to lease part of Blackwell's Island, which is now used for various city institutions, to the government for a naval park and drill ground. Tho position of the island would cause it to become a depository of Hags, trophies and in teresting relics, and would become a national site for monuments of other naval memorials, Admiral Taylor thinks. Every year New York receives from anonymous contributions money paid in restitution and credited to the "conscience fund." The amounts are imall. varying some years from as low as $50 and as high as $400. Last year they were $302. The state government gets very little from any conscience fund. Some years ago there were no such payments; the lat est statistics show that last year they were $10. The majority of American girls who have become English women and who will be conspicuous as hostesses during the gay season following King Edward's coronation are New York ers. The Duchess of Marlborough, who will probably head the list of most lavish entertainers as her func tions will extend beyond London to her country place at Blenheim, is the daughter of William K. Vanderbilt. Lady Strafford who is both beautiful and immensely wealthy was Mrs. Cora Colgate, of New York. Then there is the Dowager Duchess of Manchester, also Mrs. Arthur Paget, the Countess of Craven and Lady Boresford, all of whom have reigned as belles of Goth am's smart set.

Wall street men are looking for ward with an unusual degree of in terest to the visit of Count Matsu kata and other leading Japanese who are now en route to America next month. Count Matsukata is one of the foremost financiers and states men of Japan and by his visit' in the street will hear more about tho proposed Japanese loan of $10,000,000 being floated hero. One of the most striking incongru ities of official salaries in New York is the compensation paid the physi cians In the fire department, as com pared with that paid to the physicians in the police department. The firmer get $2000 and the latter $3000. The matter has caused quite a deal of grumbling and discussion, and the present administration will be called upon no doubt to act in the matter.
