L weekly review of trade tomorrow will say;
Seasonable merchandise goes into dis
tribution slowly, which causes accumula
tion of spring and summer dry Roods and
millinery In the hands of dealers and re
tards collections, while making operations
for fall and winter much more conservative.
At' some points the Isst wn'k of May
brought pronounced Improvement In com
mercial activity, but the holiday retarded
recovery and progress Is slow. Manufac
turing plants are products- at full capac-
Ity In most Industries, orders on hand cov
ering output far Into the future, and more
New England cotton mill employes have
received advanced wages, making the
charge affect about K6,l0 hands. Another
evidence of progress In cotton spinning was
the Increase In quarterly dividends at Fall
River t tl per cent, against 1.82 per cent
last year and 114 per cent In UJ2, the most
prosperous of recent years. ,
Current transactions In the Iron and steel
Industry are of comparatively little sig
nificance, owing to the enormous tonnage
of business under contract that will main
tain activity far Into the future, aome
sales covering the output of mills for the
entire year 1908. Yet new orders are con
stantly appearing, Including much forelKn
Duainesa, ana deliveries are made as near
as possible to Specifications. The output of
Pig Iron Is probably beyond all precedent.
Movements of ore are so heavy that con-
f nation occurs at lower . lake ports and
he Inadequate supply of cars causes much
accumulation on the dock, especially at
Cleveland. Railway and structural orders
are the most urgent In demand for products
of steel, and as yet there Is little evidence
of curtailed plans because of unfavorable
.crop reports or the difficulty experienced
in raining funds for construction.
Increased dttttrulty In securing deliveries
is noted In the cotton goods Industry, most
mills being sold so far ahead that buyers
are apprehensive regsrdlng supplies, which
prevents the high level of prices from hav
ing th natural effect of producing con
servatism. Curtailment of production will
bo unavoidable, notwlthsanding the gen
eral advance in wages. Kit port Inquiries
have Increased, both Indian and Red sea
orders appearing, while the Chinese mar
ket is more active. As to woolens, the
last week has witnessed the opening of
Important lines of staples, but at such
Irregular prices that the trend of the mar
ket is not established.
Footwear manufacturers are making
some small concessions with lightweight
goods, in some cases as much as 10 cents
a pair being deducted on low grade satins.
Heavy shoes are unchanged.
Leather is quiet and not firm.

laseasoaablo Weather Interferes with
Retail Trade and Collections.
NEW YORK. May Ifl. Bradstreets to
morrow win say: .
Unseasonable, cold or wet weather, with
frosts throughout the north half of the
country has again been, a barrier to retail
trade, ec- In a few sections, and the
coldest ( ,t ' in twenty-five years closes
with large storks of goods undisposed o'
by retailers. There Is still general com
plaint that reorder business from Jobbers
and manufacturers, especially In all kl'ids
of wearing apparel, has. been smaller than
expected, and there Is rncr-j manifestation
of a desire to await P eloprnent s before
embarking heavliy for the future, although
the volume of I I'siness booked compared
well with preceding years. Something like
a transference of Interest and of specula
tion from grain to cotton is evidenced this
week by a reaction from new high western
prices touched early In the week in the
case of wheat( and in a sharp advance in
rotton on damage reports and excited spec
ulation. Money Is easy, but collections are
slow or backward at best. Strikes are more
u evldenoe. Witness the continued Inter'
ruptlnn to business at San Kranclsuo,. the
lingering of the longshoremen's strike at
New York and smaller strike of southern
car shops and street railway employes.
There is also soino prospect of unsettlement
In the reports of demands for higher wages
schedules by Iron workers and coal miners
In the central west.
The feature In the wool market this week
Is the sale at Boston of 2.&00.OUO pounds of
medium fleece wool to the largest single
manufacturing Interest at a price refused
some weeks ago, and' the competition re
ported at the west between dealers and
manufacturers, resulting In prices being
pushed up almost to last year level.
Eastern dealers report prices paid too high
for eastern buyers, but the primary mar
kets are strong.
The shoe and leather market was quiet,
as a whole, as Is natural In a between-sea-sons
market. Shoe manufacturers are re
ceiving more orders, but are reported not
satisfied with orders for heavy, goods al
ready booked. Shipments from Boston
for the year are s.5 per cent below 11M1.
Plglron markets are quiet, but very
strong In price. Supplies for early delivery
are very scarce. Foreign Iron continues
to bo purchased in moderate volume. May
was a good month for structural steel In
terests, the tonnage booked being .very
heavy and large orders are looked for
within the next few months. Agricultural
Implement makers have ordered steel bars
and shapes very freely.

WYOMING'S HERMIT FREAK
Odd Character Believed the Unman
Body Was Made Wrong .
End Ip.
By the death of Cyrus Mullen, who lived
near Gillette, the state of Wyoming, if not
the entire west, has lost its most eccentric
character. Mullen was known all through
out Crook county as "Upside-Down Mul
len." He was a sort of a hermit and llyed
In a log hut twenty-four miles west of Gil
lette. Comparatively little was known of
the man further than that he was living
there alone, as he never talked to people
and always tried to avoid those he met.
It was known, though, that Mullen had In
his younger days been an acrobat In a
circus. His age . was variously estimated
at from fro to 66 years.
Crazy 7 Well, no, not In the full sense of
the word. It was known in the vicinity of
his home, however, that Mullen was not
right on at least two subjects. They were
the makeup of the human body and the
protective tariff. Once In a great while
less than half a dozen times he had writ
ten communications to half a doien news
papers touching on both subjects. They
were printed and made great sport of by
ths editors to whom they were sent.
"The human body," he once wrote to a
Kelt on paper, "was made wrong end up.
Why should the feet be on the ground and
the head up, when the head la the heavier
end? Gravitation call for the head to be
downward, that the resistance forced on
the backbone be thus loosened. Walk on
the hands at least half your time. Any
person can do It with a little practice. I
do, and I am on of nature' ' noblemen
Cyrus Mullen."
Another time Mullen wrote this sams
paper a communication concerning the
tariff. "It Is all wrong," he wrote. "Too
high, too high on leather. Shoes cost en
tirely too muah. Walk on your hands, peo
ple, a I do and as nature decreed you
should, and save shoo expense. Blessed
be the man who walk on hi hand and
thus obey nature. Cyrus Mullen."
It was figured out by the wis ones In
Crook county that Mullen had learned to
walk on his hand when he waa an acro
bat. That training had not left him and
h waa able to live up to hi crasy "up
side down" notion. Person driving to Oil
lett would meet hlra ones in a while. Al
ways ho would be either standing or walk

the front. If he saw them he would make
away In haste across ths range. Those
who did get near him came up from behind
and, quietly, too, for the old man had
sharp ears. While walking on his hands
Mullen would wave his feet In the air and
frequently clap them together. It was start
ling. Indeed, to come upon him suddenly.
Once an - automobile came through Gil
lette and It frightened the horses terribly.
But It brought no such fright as they used
to get from Mullen when he came down the
road walking on his hands. Many a run
away was caused In Crook county by the
appearance of this strange upside down
man In .the road. Mullen seemed to be able
to walk on his hands as well as he could
on his feet. He had monstrous hands,
made so by the peculiar u to which ha
put them.
The hermit was not a morose man. No
body ever heard him sing a song or crack
a joke, to the knowledge of Crook
county people, but on numerous occasions
when observed from behind whilst upside
down he was noticed to stop by the road
and execute a little dance, putting his hands
on the grassy trail and keeping time to
something, probably a low whistle. Often
he would stand for a period of as much
as a minute on on hand while he ar
ranged his clothes with the other.
Where Mullen came from nobody knew.
He appeared at the little cabin, long be
fore deserted by some squatter, one July
and took up his residence there. He had
some poultry and he lived on chicken, eggs
and the wild game he ooald trap. Bo ex
pert was Mullen at walking upside down
that it was commonly toUl around Gillette
that he had once run a rabbit down. This
was denied In part by some of the Crook
county people. They declared he did run
the rabbit down, but not until he had
wounded It with a stone. Denver Post

LODGE SECRETS GUESSED AT
Slffnlflcanca of Certain Alphabetical
- Symbols I'sed by a Feminine
Order.
It Is a very human trait to enjoy a
secret, and that Is why there are lodges
and societies. Secrets, do not grow of
themselves for everybody, arid so those
who do not have them invent them and
have grips and passwords. It promotes
a thoroughly enjoyable feeling! of guilt,
especially as envious outsiders are always
guessing at the secrets, and what the
lodges are for.
But the person who has studied his Poe
and his Conan Doyle need never be at a
loss to read these alleged riddles. Induc
tion, or deduction, analysis or synthesis,
according to his. habits of mind or his
Idea of what words mean, will enable him
to resolve the most cryptic things.
Just for Instance: There Is the women's
lodge called tbe "P." K. O." No member
of the lodge will tell what the mystic
letters mean, and from the capitalization
and punctuation the superficial observer
la led to believe that they are Initials of
words, and vainly speculate In that direc
tion. But the mind trained In "psycho
logical research" we wish we knew entirely
what that means will proceed to consider
"P. E. O." in this wise:
It is the feminine nature to deceive.
Therefore, P. E. O. In Its beginning will
not represent what It appears to repre
sent. It can then be only "Peo ." That
is the first half of "people." It Is the
men who are the "pie." With the men
"pie," pronounced "1," we are the people,
say the "P. E. Os." We are the first and
greater half. The men are simple "I 'mm
with which we all agree.
Now we have the "Yellow Plners,"
society of men of which the local lodge)
recently gave a function In Glen Echo,
Resolving "Yellow Plners" Into Its con
stituents (the masculine mind Is less subtle
than the feminine), we have "yellow" (sig
nifying jealousy, envy and old age) and
"plners." those who pine. Thus we com
prehend that the "P. E. O." lacks the
"pie," and that the "Yellow Plners" are
anxious to be the "pie." In the Interest
of humanity we suggest that the "P. E.
O." and "Yellow Plners" amalgamate and
join themselves to the "Hoo Hoos," thus
making of the completed organization the
"Hoo'i Hoo's" of America. St. 1 rmiJST
