dustries In this city nppcar to be In ex
f.lluit shape as far as orders are con
Mtned tut manufacturing Is being ham
iered owing to tho continued lack of
Jrtper dyestulfs.
Manufacturers of shirtwaists and
dresses state there 13 somewhat of a lull
In business at present; tho seaion has
lien late but satisfactory, nnd they are
looking forward to a large spring and

confidence and aro making preparations
for a larger business next vent It Is
rtated that collections show Improvement,
idthough only very small.
The electrical trado reports n good vol
lime of business In holiday specialties mid

with prices llim. A fulr Volume of busi

generally reported firm nnd collections

large sale of rubber footwear Is ic
ported. The millinery trade Is normal for this
period nnd dealers report favorable orders
for spring delivery There is no chango
to note In the condition of the ccmont
market. Manufacturers repot t that the
last season has been fnlilj guod, nnd
uhlle there was for a time an Inclination
to cut prices, lately there has been a
illsht Inciease
The chemical market Is fairly active;
i fair amount of business Is being done,
illhougli buying is principally In small
lots for Immediate needs. The situation
In dye stuffs temaln.s unchanged; no for

Freshmen of University Sec
"Life," but Get Baths
for Prank
Twenty seniors of the 1'nlveislty of
l'i'nnslvnnla Architectural School s.vt
moaning anil frowning nt their easels as
they sketched an until nped model posing
on a lalsed platform.
"Hold vour head still, foi the lovn
Mike," scowled one to the shivering lady.
"Tho light Is too stiong," giowled an
other, and during the whole proceeding
there was a chorus of lamentation about
the futility of n college course
The sceno now shifts to tho floor above.
Sllghtlv before the class below started
one of the freshman or tho school, hav
ing much leisure and having become
blase and sophisticated from sketching
luonze and plaster figures, hnd a blight
Iden. He procured four little gimlets
and four little freshmen who also ha.I a
few lelsuro moments.
Five little "frcshles" then went lms
to work, with tho re. lit that In a JlfT.v
there weie live neat llttlo half-inch holes
hoicd In the Moor. Until the entrance of
the model Into tho room below golden
sti earns of Hunxhlno streamed into the
seniors' studio. Hut as soon as tho class
started to work tho apertures became
dark. A freshman eve was studiously
glued to each little holu In the Moor.
Thev traded views. They enlarged the
holes stealthily. They stood on their
heads. Cnch anil every one, ns he gawd
steadfastly and appteclatlvely nt the fig
ure on the platform, resolved firmly to
study with nil his might In order that lie,
too, might sorno day bo n dignified senior
nnd see "life."
J'jst about this time each llttlo ficsli
man felt h squinny cold chill tvvlno !
tho veitebrae of his llttlo back. Foi. as
they crouched prostrate over the holes,
a deep, stern voice said from the direc
tion of the door, "Tonight nt midnight
be ready'" Thon tile door closed before
the trembling "Toms" could sec who had
uttered the fearful words The five little
"freshles" at once lost all Interest In the
scene In the studio below.
"Who wns It?" shivered one. "Senich
me-e," snld another "Let's git while the
going's good," suggested another llttlo
"fresh," and as silently as thev had en
tered tho live men sneaked from the
building; then they ran six blocks on Lo
cust street before they dared look around.
Nothing hnppened.
"Some on was kidding us," thev de
cided, and then went to their rooms In
tho "dotms," a merry whistle on their
lips and nn all-gono feeling In tho region
of their live little solar-plexuses. When
supper had been eaten and n night of
study had passed without even the sign
of a ghost or an avenging hnnd. tho live
llttlo fteshmen breathed easier and final
ly went to bed.
Hut promptly at midnight, when they
w-ero fast nsleep, tho bolts fell. Knch
man was divested of hl3 "llttlo nighty"
and was marched outside into the cold
night. They were taken to the basement
of tho Art School and Immersed ns mimv
minutes ln the blue-print baths as they
had "peeped."
Kach was then hustled homo at the
end of a long paddle. This morning they
aro taking rough drops und quinine. Lach
little "fieshle" has decided that "life Is
indeed a bitter thing "
NONSUIT REFUSED IN
BANANA TRUST CASE
Court Overrules Motion for De
fense and Trial Will Go
to a Finish
A motion to nonsuit tt.-e most tedloua
trial that ever confronted a Judge and
Jury in thU city waa overruled today by
Judgo Thompson when he decided that
tho lo,000,000 "Uanana Trust" suit must
bo decided by a Jury.
The case Is tho one in which the re
ceiver for the Illuetlelds Steamship Com
pany, Ltd., Is attempting to recover dam
ages from the United Fruit Company on
the ground that tho latter concern bought
a contiolllng Iterest In the other company
and then strangled Its banana-growing
and Importing business.
'The question to b decided in this case
is one of fact," Judge Thompson said in
giving his decision, "end for that rea
son Is for tha Jury. The motion for non
suit Is overruled."
Every one In tho courtroom except the
defense received the decision with. mani
fest relief. Had tho Court granted tho
motion for nonsuit six tedious weeks of
work, as well as thousands of dollars ex
ptnded In preparing the case, would have
been wasted, as would the time lost from
business by the jurors.
So far the developments have been
mainly In the nature of legal clashes
between George Wharton Pepper; repre
senting the defense, and Attorney General
Francis Shunk Brown, counsel for the
plaintiff. It Is expected that another
month will be required to present the
defendant's side of the case and that
more than 60 witnesses will be called by
the plaintiff.
NEXT MAYOR FACES BIG
DEFICIT IN FIRST YEAR
Shortage Will Amount to $3,
000,000, According to Pres
ent Outlook
Mayor-elect Thomas II. Smith nnd the
members of his cabinet will face a deficit
of probablj $3,000,000 In the current funds
of tho city during tho tlrsl year of the
new administration. What tha deficit will
bo In the event of the passage of nny
big loan, such as tho measure calling for
$!'5,00O,0n0, 3 but a matter of mathematical
calculation of Interest nnd Sinking Fund
payments.
The appropriations for nil departments
for 1316. ns completed by the members of
Councils' Finance Committee, do not near
ly provide for the operating expenses of
the cits during tho next 12 months, ns
provision Is not made for tho full needs
of the puvroll of the Police Bureau.
Tho police money for next December,
nt lenst, will have to come from n tem
porary loan, to be lloaled next fall, ns
It Is agreed that there will be few items
left for "transfer" In tho closing months
of tho first year of tho new administra
tion. Other Hems of almost equal linpnrtince
hnve been shortened so ns to make the np
pioprlatlon bills come within the J31.S27.0SS
of estimated avnllnble levenues for 1D15.
The cutting of well over $P,000.(W from
the estlmnted needs leaves no provision
for mnny Items that will have to be cared
for next fall. Another rontrlbtitnry
cause to tho deficit in sight Is tho fact
that tho tl,!00,l temporary lonn Just
nullinrled will havo tn bo paid back
out of tho current receipts during tho
first four months of next year.
Tho $3.V00u.P0O loan Is the third Impor
tant piece of loan legislation started bv
the piesenl Councils to faT. In the spring
or I9U the Supreme Colli t injolned tho
holding of n n election tho day befo.-o the
date set to approve a lonn of $12,W,(H
The anine decision Invalidated the loan for
JS.CW.CHO approved bv tho voteis nt the
genernl election hold In November of the
.v ear before
Joeph P Unrfnev. of the :6th Wnr.1,
who is slated tu succeed John 1. Con
nelly hb chairman of Councils' Finance
Committee, has already sounded a note
of vvnrnlng ngiilnst operating the illy nt
a cost ln excess of revenues nnd In u re
cent statement on the lloor of Common
Council promised to deal with the facts
relating to city llmincc miner than con
tinue the plan of trying to make revenues
provide only partly for expenses.
In the absence of am big lonn few
permnnent Impiovements will bo possible,
us Mcyor-clect Smith will have bnlances
of lonn mone.vH avall.iblo to the extent of
but $iv,nv).ihv Most of thin money is in
Items for wink stnrtrd by the present ad
ministration and inn only be used to torn
pleto the iindet takings planned and np
pioyerj by Mayor B'innkctiburg. Provision
for nil new permanent Improvements will
have .o enme from future loans nnd the
Mnvcr-elect, ln nn Interview jesteidnv,
declared thnt n now loan would bo pro
