' REAR JDI'lSll DEWEY'S SWORD OF HONOR. Of all the presentation swords which the United States Government hw given in times past to its heroes of the army and navy, none equals in artlstio beauty and skillful design the sword of honor toon to be given Hear Admiral George Dewey. Tbe cost of the sword will not be far from (10,000, which was appropriated by Congress last May to defray the expense, also, of manufacturing a set of bronze medals for the officers aud men of the Asiatic Squadron. With the exception of the steel blade aud the body metal of the scab bard the sword will be made entirely of pure gold, of twenty-two carats fine; the grip will be covered with fine sharkskin bonnd with gold wire and inlaid with gold stars. Above the sharkskin the handle terminates in a richly carved and enameled gold oollar and knot. A narrow band of oak leaves unites the sharkskin to the coUar. Then come the arms of the Admiral's native State, Vermont, with tho motto, "Freedom and Unity," HEAR ADMIRAL DEWEY'S SWORD OF HONOR. (Showing both sides of the blade, together with tho scabbard and belt.) and above this, and spreading toward the top, is the great seal of the United States, with the bine field of the shield in enamel; the shield in the arras of Vermont is also enameled. The collar ia surmounted with a closely woven- wreath of oak leaves, the, standard decoration for rank, and the intervening spaces between the decoration are studded with stars. On the pommel is carved the name of the cruiser Olympia, and Ibe sodiaoal sign for tbe month of De cember, when Dewey was born. The guard is composed of conven tional eagle, terminating in a claw clasping the top, the. outspread wings forming the guard proper. The ex pression of the eagle is one of cool de termination, and, while firm, still bearing message of peace in tbe laurel wreath held in the beak. The wreath serves as a protection, cover ing the point of the beak, and at the same time preserves the proper out lines of the guard. The scabbard will be of thin steel, datnaoened in gold, with sprays of rose marinui, signifying fidelity, con stancy and remembrance. The sprays are interlaced in the form of a series of cartouohes, with a star iu the oen tre of eaob, while dolphins fill the outer spaces. Sprays of oak leaves and aoorns secure the rings and trap pings of the scabbord; above these, on the front of the scabbord, is a raised monogram in brilliants entwining the letters "G. D.," and immediately nn der them are the letters "U. S. N.," snrrounded by the sprays of rose marinus. The ferrule, or lower end of the soabbard, terminates in en twined gold dolphins. ' The sword blade ia damascened with the inscription: , i The Gift of tbe Nat loa to Rear : ! Admiral George Dewey, TJ. 8. : I N., ia Memory ot the Victory at Manila Bay, Hay 1, 1898, The letters are of an ornamental eharaoter, and sufficiently large to be dignified. The Pboanioian galley, representing the first craft of the world's navies, supplies the rest of the ornament on this side ot the blade. On the other side of the blade is shown the flight of the eagles of victory, bearing festoons of laurel to the four quarters of tbe earth,' Three women are members of the Board of Aldermen at Liuooln, Neb, FARM WAGON BY TROLLEY. A Special Track to Carry It When Italia Are Beached. A great many different schemes have been proposed, and some of them have been tried, for lessening the work of carting farm produce into town. The traction engine is used for that pur pose to a considerable extent in Eng land, although in America very little hauling is done ' therewith. Then again there 'has been a good doal of talk of laying broad, guttered rails on tbe oommon highway for the wheels of the ordinary wagon to run in. In some parts of the United States there are trolley lines reaching through the rural regions and carrying not only passengers, bnt also mail aud ex press matter. A Toledo mnn, named Bonner, has devised a special truck which is de signed to run on a street railway and to carry a farm or express wagon. In asmuch as the ordinary vehicle would not lit the truck, Mr. Bonner thinks it better to have his own wagon as well as his railway truck, He has ob tained a franchise from the city of Toledo for running his wagons through the streets. After the city service is fairly started Mr. Bonner will endeavor to secure rtral patronage. Of course, it will be necessary for such farmers as wish to take advantage of his plan to have the right sort of wagons and to haul them by horse power near enough to town to reach the trolley tracks. But in Ohio there are numerous trolley roads extending from one town to another and attaining a length of ten, fifteen and even twenty-five miles. If a farmer only lives along one of these routes he will not need to haul bis wagons more than a few rods. Indeed, if he has a awitoh and sidetrack and loads his wagons while they stand on the latter he will have an easy task before him. The rapid development of trolley lines through the rural dis tricts nowadays makes Mr. Bonner's idea an interesting one. There is no telling how far it is likely to become serviceable to American fawners. What Dusty Ilhoiles Did, "At the first oall he went to the front." . Letter Carriers la India.

In their weekly re view of trade report as follows for last week: Failures In September have been about $0,700,000. and for the quarter about $22,876,000. No report covering the exact month or quarter Is possible this week but the returns indicate a smaller aggregate of failures than In any other month In many years, except in August or tnis year, and smaller for . the quarter than In any other quarter since 1892. In fact, excepting one quar ter in that year, no other appears to have shown a smaller aggregate unless more than 10 years ago, when the vol ume of solvent business was very much smaller than It Is now. Evident ly the complete returns to be given next week will show that the state of business is In that respect more satis factory than It has ever been, unless In one quarter of 1892. Changes are all for the better ex cepting the fall of cotton to the lowest point for 60 years, and even the lowest prices of 1848. considering difference of qualities, where perhaps not lower than prices this week. If there wera not on hand commercial and mill stocks unusually large, or If manufacturing were more successful, early recovery might seem probable, but the heavy fail In material has alTected the de mand for goods, causing buyers to ex pect still lower prices for them, al though after the decline last week. goods now average lower than ever be fore. In Oie minor metals.. slight weakness In tin and lead does not indicate smal ler consumption, while copper Is strong at 12 "4c for lake, and spelter strong at $4 32',,. With pig Iron firm everywhere. In spite of the extraordinary output, and bessemer held at $10.40 at Pittsburgh, while valley producers report 230,000 tons sold for delivery before June next, the consumption Is evidently growing. The week's reported con tracts include one for 17,000 tons pipe from basic steel by the Standard Oil Company, material for 2,000 cars or dered by the Pennsylvania, structural work for many ordinary and two large buildings, and heavy orders for plates, partly for two lake vessels, and partly for eastern shipyards, which have larger business than ever. The demand for Iron bars owing to Incrcnsed use of steel, Is in some quar ters below expectation, and shipments ure less active at Pittsburg, though the mills are full of orders. Rail pro ducers are negotiating a new compact, and the usual eastern price, $18, is said to be shaded In some quarters, while It Is pending. But car locomotive, bridare and structural' work Is exceedingly heavy, and there are no signs of de crease In the demand. Wheat rose 2o, but on Thursday declined sharply, closing 2o lower for the week, notwithstanding very heavy exports, amounting for the week to 4, 911,022 bushels, against 6.092,184 bushels last year, and for four weeks to 15,011, 942 bushels, against 20,661,315 bushels last year. Included. The usual babel of guesses does not change the belief that tho crop will be the largest ever grown. and while farmers throughout the West are holding back again largely because of the low prices. me western receipts are now running above even the extraordinary move ment a year ago, both for the week and month. Corn Is a fraction lower with some decrease In export demand, though the recent shipments would have been considered heavy In any year until the last, and can hardly be continued long. Failures for the week have been 19S In the United States, against 194 last year, and 17 In Cunada, against 34 last year. SHEWS NOTES.
