The Right Reverend Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln, who Is now nearly 80, was once taking an airing at the seaside when he found some difficulty In rising from his low chair. Seeing his predicament, a young fisher girl hastened to his assistance and helped his lordship to his feet. Dr. King was profuse In his thanks, but the girl, who had no idea of his identity, begged him not to mention it "That's all right, sir," said she with a laugh, "I'm used to It. I've often had to take father home when he's been a good deal drunker than you!" Bell man. Just as the fact that there have al ways been gambling houses in New Tork, argues the New York World, is no reason to repeal the laws against gambling, so the fact that poolrooms run in concealment Is no adequate reason for allowing them to run legally.

If the constitutional mandate is to be openly disobeyed, as It is on every race track, there should be at Iran scale effort made either to en for;o the constitution nr to repeal th:s part cf It. FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY k JODDing 1 rang enowi mors nciivuy Than at Any Time 8lnc ' August. Now York. It. U. Dun ft Company' "Ww-kly Heview of Trade" says. Industrial plants steadily decrease Ihe percentage of Hie machinery, es pecially In the steel business, which Increases the size of payrolls. Thus far progress Is slow In wholesale und jobbing departments, but as retail slocks are depleted there Is more dis position to pluce orders for spring goods. Iteirorls are slill Irregular, some fr-ctlons of the country recover ing much more rapidly than other?, and a few Interior cities record busi ness even better than ut this time last year. L'ucli week more contracts arn placed for steel than In the week preceding, and conservative buying of the lust few monthsi has made the statistical position strong. Activity Is greatest in the wire trade, closely followed by the tin plate department, while structural shapes for railway bridges supply a liberal tonnage of new business. Following the largo order for sleel rails last week, there have appeared several other substan tial contracts, and more are pending. In addition to this business In standard weights the mills have se cured pood orders for light rails. Pipe mills are getting contracts, both for hiinia nnd export use, and these producers are cnnslant purchasers of pig lion which holds steady on tho bus! of $17 at Viilley furnace. Textile fabrics are not materially changed either in point of demand of rate of production. Prices are prac tically unchanged, some producers claiming that quotations aro wr.v down to the cost of production, while others hold that concessions will not stimulate trade In the present atti tude of buyers. In woolen goods there Is a little better inquiry, wholesalo clothiers evhlbiting more interest. Supplementary orders for foot wear do not come to New England produc ers in normal volume, purcn.".nes pe ine limited to small quantities suffi cient to cover Immediate require ments. Aside from heavy weight solo, the leather market continues dull. Hides pursue the usual downward course, as reroipts shew the season able deterioration in quality, Febru ary and late January saltings finding scarcely any buyers. MARKETS. PITTSBURG.
