VnnUhed on if by .Magic.. Wheat
fining Sii Per l ent During the
Week Thouminds of Hands Find
F.miloyinent.
Nr-ff York, Nov. 27.-1. O. Dun &
Ci. will suy tomorrow In their weekly
review of trade:
When the rush of orders after the
election ulackened many bepnn to think
business dwindling. But subsidence of
deferred ofders is not decrease of busi
ness. Dlssapointment Is observed in
the iron and steel Industry, because
various combinations have been and
are still ri'turdltiR orders by prices
which buyers believe cannot be main
tained, and the same Is true In boots
and shoes, and In a few branches of
textile foods. Hut business is on the
whole enlartfin.cr. and the employment
vt many more hands will extend pur
chasing power. The settlement of the
window glass controversy. startiiiK
many thousands hands, and the col
lapse of some Important Iron combina
tions with the same effect, give prom
ise of more business. Broadly speak
ing, the pain has been greater than
nnybody expected, and It Is not sur
prising if a small part of It Is In excess
of the present consuming demand.
Heports from all parts of the coun
try show clearly the enlargement of
trade is not at all points In the same
branches, but everybody helped by a
more confident feeling. Monetary dif
ficult leu have vanished as if by magic,
and banks with nn uncomfortable sup
ply of idle money nre hunting borrow
ers, ns the Imrrmvers were recently
hunting lenders. Knormous ruins In
bank deposits, $::7,000,000 in two weeks,
indicate somcthinT .of the amount of
funds recently hoarded.
Wheat has risen over 6 per cent, for
the week, without tnnteriul change In
foreign ndvlces, which have been on
the whole less stimulating. Corn has
sympathized with wheat only a little
and Is coming forward freely. The
most Important factor in the wheat
market is that the visible supplies do
not gain as much as hud been expect
ed. Cotton has gained only n sixteenth,
after its considerable decline, and the
remarkably heavy movements puts
the speculators for nn advance In con
stant dllHeultles and yet there Is all
the time to be remembered the fact
that the crop was nearly one month
earlier than usual, and the present ex
cess over last year's movement may
be materially reduced hereafter. Nev
ertheless the fact appears that north
ern mills nre taking much less cotton
than in previous years, and the demand
for good size evidently disappointing.
Wool, 1TRCHASKKS UNLOAD.
Wool was bought largely for spec
ulation, and earlier purchasers are un
loading on the latter, but the mills
nre not yet doing much more than in
October. A few more have been start
ed, but there is scarcely more demand
apparent for staple goods. The boot
iiiiil shoe Industry Is still hindered by
the general refusal of dealers to pay
the advanced prices demanded my
manufacturers, except for the limited
iuantlties which are Immediately re
ciuired, and while most manufacturers
are working on orders tnken weeks ago
at lower prices, w hic h will keep them
busy for some weeks to cume, very
little new business Is coining. No fur
ther advance of importance has been
made In leather, and the; market for
hides has sharply reacted, so that the
average of prices is slightly lower than
on Nov. 12.
The collapse of the nail combination,
nnd probably of the beam combina
tion, and. considerable reduction In
(imitations f(,r nails nnd beam, give
reason to look for a larger demand for
products of Iron and steel, but nt pres
ent the sales against speculative pur
chases mude some time a so are de
pressing prices, and besscmor pig has
sold at and according to some
reports, a little lower at Pittsburg. The
demand for such products as urn not
controlled by the combinations Is still
increasing, but by no meuns ns rapidly
as expected. In minor metals tin is
scarcely as strons as It was a week
ngo, but copper and lead are stronger.
Kullures for the week have been sou
in the United States against 27"i Inst
year, and 3S In Canadu against 47 last
Jeur.
HANGED MURDERER WALKS OFF.
UcmiHcitnte'd in His Collin on the
Hay to lluriitl.
Ttlskogoe, Ala., Nov. 27. Last Fri
day a negro named Henry Dawson was
hanged here for murder by the sheriff.
He was a larse 2iK-poiinder, and when
the trnji was sprung lie fell so hard
that he almost broke tho ropn. Fif
teen minutes after the fall he wns cut
down, ninl the physicians present an
nounced him to be dead from stran
gulation. '
His body was turned over to his
friends for burial. They put It In a
cotlln and started with It In n wagon
for the ltuchtinnn place, several miles
distant, where they announced tho bur
ial Would take place. '
A negro named Keuben Rice "mode
the statement that Dawson Is not dead:
that as soon ns the wagon was outside
of the town the lid of the coffin was
pried off and whisky and other re
storatives were applied, with the result
that the supposed corpse was resus
citated, and after an hour or two was
recovered sufiiciently to walk.
The evidence to the truth of the state
ment Is that tho net-roes having the
remains In charge have left the neigh
borhood, and no evidence of a new
made grave can be found about the
liuchanan place.
CASHIER SQUANDERS FUNDS.
Speculation nnd llore Marine Swal
lowed Up tljll.ooo.
Cincinnati. O., Nov. 27. Samuel XV.
Ramp died suddenly at his home yester
day Hi physician said that talk about
suicide Is absurd, and attributes death
to heart failure. Kanin wns formerly
county clerk, then cashier of the Third
National bank for !4 years, nnd re
signed to become cashier of the .Market
National bank, of which Charles
Flelschmann, the millionaire distiller,
and tin sent member of the state sen
atf. Is president. Ramp was a member
of the last state senate and spent
money freely in Columbus.
Karly last year Senator Flelschmann
prepared to go to his summer home In
the Catskills, and ordered $l.V).ooo in
cash from his private necount In New
York. He placed it In Cashier Ramp's
hands, with the injunction thnt l
should not be touched unless drafts on
the bank should be so heavy as to ex
.haust. It Is alleged that Ramp squan
dered the entire $1 50.1100 in stocks,
wheat and on the race course. He was
61 years old.
MATTHEWS CONFESSION.
A Convicted Murderer Implicates IIi
Victim's Wife.',
La Plata, Md., Nov. 27. Mrs. Emmn.
Irwin, the alleged paramour of Oeorge
Matthews, who was yesterday convict
ed of the murder of James J. Irwin,
the woman's husband, was arraigned
today charged with "being an accessory
to the crime. She pleaded not guilty,
and chose a Jury trial. The trial will
begin next Wednesday.
Matthews confession at the conclu
sion of his trial continues to be, the
absorbing topic of conversation. In
the course of his statement to Judge
Iirlscoe the condemned said:
"It was a trap, made by a woman,
to cntch me In. She (Mrs. Irwin) used
to tell me that her husband would kill
me; that be would steal down to my
shanty some night nnd kill me. That
woman and her sister, Mrs. Hourne, are
ot the bottom of it. You can condemn
me and turn that woman loose, if you
will, but vou might as well turn the
devil right out of hell as to let that
woman go."
AILMENTS OF MODEKX LIFE
Mechanical Devices That Itring Evils
in Their Train The "Trolley
Foot," Telephone Ear," "Bicycle
Toe" and Telegrapher's nnd Typo
writer's Cramp.
From the New York Tribune.
Just as the Inventive genius of the
age hus farced novelties into the high
er professions, nnd the expert mechan
ic llnds his field growing larger con
tinually, so the physician sees new or
special diseases confronting him re
sulting from new conditions In modern
lile. These new discuses, receive names
from the lny world which are adopted
by the solentlUc people.
"That hns been done before, though,"
said n physician, "and "railroad spine,'
'houseniaiii's knee,' 'engineer's ear' and
'puinter's colli-' nre designations which
would probably never have been given
to certain complaints If they had not
been suggested by laymen. Of course,
there are scientific names for all," he
added, "but they are not used except
in medical literature, and then they
are not so expressive. What Latin
scientific term could properly express
'policeman's sleep,' that condition be
tween sleep and wakefulness when a
man may stand or wnlk nnd still be
unable to see a side door open or to
hear the growl of the growler?"
THR TROLLEY FOOT.
Among the new maladies which the
physicians attribute to recent mechan
ical and scientific Inventions Is the
"trolley foot." The motormnn on elec
tric nnd cable enrs rings the warning
gong by ptessing Ills foot upon a knob
or button, and it is said that the con
stant pressure produces nn aliment
which had never been known until the
new c urs cntne into use.
' In tho first plnce," said a motormnn,
"It wen i'H out the shoe ipilcker than you
have any idea; but that's the shoe's
fault. Then, tapping the knob pro
duces a tickling sensation nt first, nnd
then the fond gels imlnnieil. Of course
we know that it can't be nnything
serious, nnd keen right on kicking the
thing, nnd after n few days the iullam
atlon wears off, the skin gets hard nnd
we think it's nil over and that we'll
have no more trouble. Hut that's a
mistake. Shooting pains nnd nervous
twitchings follow, and these nre worse
w hen one Is off duty then when kick
ing the gong." It was explained Hint
in most Instances the ililliiulty wears
nwny. but that "trolley foot" bad
cnusmed many men to quit the service
of the railroad corporations.
TDK TELEPHONE EAR.
Telephone ear. ns a result of constant
use of the telephone, hns given the enr
specialists considerable work. The
structure of the car is not In any way
nffectcd by the use of the instrument,
but the unnatural use of the organ
frequently causes n nervous strain,
which. Is rellected in the aural nerves.
When nskeil about the cure for tele
phone car an otologist said:
"I have m ver soon a case which wns
not cured In n short time after Hie
cause wns removScd. When the patient
stops using the, telephone the tinging
noises and the headaches soon disap
pear." liioycle bnrk nnd bicycle toes are
among the ills which nre charged to
the improper use of the bicycle. "The
man or woman," said a ph.slclan, "who
doubles up on a wheel cannot escape
the 'bicycle back' if he lives long
enough, nnd the coward on a bicycle
Is ni-t to contract the 'bicycle toe,'
which results from 'curling up the foot.
It is a strange thing." he ndded, "but
it Is true that the nervous rider, who
constantly thinks he is about to tum
ble, will have exi nn luting pains in his
toes nrter a short ride, and he will be
troubled In that way until he gains
confidence enough in himself to stop
the nervous contraction of his feet.
As to the 'bicycle back,' It Is slmplv a
natural cotiseitienee. The men who
work In mines and who are compelled
to stoop for hours nt a time have what
is known as 'miner's back,' which ls
identical with 'bicycle back'; but while
we pity the miners, we condemn the
wheelmen."
Telegrapher's tramp is another one
of the modern complaints. It results
from the manipulation of the tel. 'graph
ic key, and affects the sufferer in the
same way as writer's cramp. The fin
gers which nip used on the key and
the whole forearm are frequently made
useless, nnd tire restored to u normal
condition only after scientific treatment
by gymnastics nnd massage.
Typewriter's ernmri is much like the
telegrapher's crump, but as both hands
are used in writing on the machine, so
both hands nre often Involved In the
abnormal condition.
MAIL TO F()lti:i; COIXTIUKS.
ll,51N,37:i Letters Were Sent Abroad
According to I'npt. Brooks' Jteport.
From tho Washington Post.
The aggregate weight of mall sent
from this country to other countries by
sea was 6.2S(l.au pounds, according to
the annual report of Captain N. M.
I trunks, superintendent of foreign
malls. Of this amount 4,."M).h0 pounds
were sent across the Atlantic. The
postage collected on articles exchanged
with foreign countries largely exceeds
the gross expense incurred by the de
partment In connection with that ser
vice. The sum of $r,2!)l."fiG was re
ceived by this country for mull ex
changed with other countries.
Only l,.rlG errors were reported In the
distribution of ll.r.lS, M7:i letters and post
cards. The net excess of cost of the
contract oceun mail service was $ f
:!. Action is recommended on the
questions of the extension of the parcels-post
system; the reduction of the
registration fee to & cents nnd on that
of a limited responsibility for regis
tered article lost or destroyed in the
International mails In transit through
the United States.
ItlCI.IAXCE.
Though the mountains In the distance

And the frost hiy.ltn lo tingle In the a'r;
Tliuuuh the trees have doffed lhir splen

Of the sky hns lunched the landscape
bleak and Imrc,
We snow the world Is sn Inning
As It's done slip, e th- beginning;
We nihy not seek to guide its course
thioimn spni'f.
I:ut we're Kure 'twill bring the royes
And the rhlne th.it June discloses,
Ever welcome, in their tdd accustomed
place.
Though the darkness of a sorrow seems
lo bend across your wav;
Though the songs of youth have melted
to n sigh.
Though tho prospect of the morrow bears
a shadow from today.
And the hours grow stern and sterner as
they lly.
V know the world Is spinning,
As Its done since the beginning;
And while we Vainly strive Its course

We're sure 'twill bring the roses
And the shltir thnt .lane dlsclon.
Kver welcome, In their old accustomed
