Basy Times for Shaw.
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw will be
a very busy man during the coming week.
Today Robert B. Armstrong left Washing
ton for a week's visit to his former home
in Iowa.' The resignation of Mr. Alles
leaves a vacancy among the assistant sec
retaries of the treasury which has not yet
been filled, and Assistant Secretary H. A.
Taylor Is ill and has by advice of his
physician gone to Virginia Beach to re
cuperate. This leaves the entire burden of the sign
ing up of official mail to Secretary Shaw,
and though his name is a short one and he
writes with ease and great facility, he will
find it no mean task to sign his name daily
to over S.000 letters, to say nothing of num
erous vouchers, treasury warrants and
other routine matters which require signa
ture each day.

victim, a native Protestant, who had paid
about 10 for a wife, was forcibly bereft
of her by a' native Catholic. When the
wronged husband sought to recover his wife

without punishment; that he had better be
leaving if he did not want to be killed,
and that he thereupon beat the husband.

EMPEROR SLIGHTS A GUEST

Ignoring Politician at Court EalL
TWO HUNDRED CROATIANS ARE EXECUTED
Martial Law Proelalssed at Kreats
Gives Chance to PaaUh Thoso

olotloa for Baaday Last.
VIENNA, May 15. Contrary to general
hopes and expectations the Hungarian
political situation seems to have grown
worse rather than better during Emperor
Francis Joseph's stay at Buda-Pest
This is reported to be largely due to an
Incident at the court ball on Thursday.
As usual his majesty embraced the op
portunity to converse with the most prom
inent political and ofllcial personages,
but on this occasion he entirely overlooked
Count Apponyi, president of the lower
house, whose relations with Premier de
Szell are said to be strained.
The emperor's oversight was partic
ularly remarked, as during the evening
they frequently stood near each other. The
opposition, which is hoping that the count
will Join it at some future time, is greatly
annoyed at the affair and resolved to ad
dress an Interpolation to the ministry at
today's session of Parliament, but de
ferred action at the urgent request of
Premier de Ssell.
Count Apponyi himself appear to be of
fended. He did not preside In the house
today and it Is expected he will not ap
pear until the matter Is settled. It is now
reported that the emperor will receive the
count In special audience.
Concurrently with the government's
troubles In Hungary the disturbances in
Croatia continue. There was a great
demonstration at Buccart 6n Thursday,
when 1,000 persona demanded the release
of the rioters arrested on the day pre
vious. The authorities refused, where
upon the mob attacked the court house and
forced the officials to give up the pris
oners. All this happened while a detach
ment of troops was guarding a railroad
station a short distance from the town.
At Kreats. which Is under martial law,
200 persons have been tried and executed.
In a published Interview the ban of Croatia
stated that a revolution had been planned
for May 10, but the government discov
ered the plot In time. The ban was forced
to admit that Hungarian officials were
partially responsible for the troubles.
Notwithstanding unfavorable reports it Is
still hoped that affairs In Croatia soon will
become quieter. This, however, must be
largely dependent on the political situation
at Buda-Pest
CIRCUS ARRIVES IN TOWN
Porepaaa-h A Sells' Brothers' Teats
Are Pitched for Two Per- '
formamces.
This Is the day the small boy has been
waiting for these many weeks. He showed
tossing Interest In the opening of the base
Sill season, but the circus posters have
had him hypnotised over since they have
been on the bill boards. Now the circus Is
here. . It came on schedule time this morn
ing and performances will be given both
afternoon and night And It la a great big
circus, a combination of the great show
organised and operated by the lata Adam
Forepaugh and that of the equally as well
known Bells brother. ,
The circus opened Its season at St Louis
a few weeks ago and In consequence the
people of Omaha will have the advantage
of seeing the show In all Its early sesson
freshness. Speaking of the performance,
one of the St Louis papers said: "It Is
unique. There la no spectacle; there Is no
striving after new or odd changes; no
straining for Innovation. EVery act pre
sented is a real circus act. It is a tremen
dously big show, but a circus all the time.
Its essence lies in its big, heavy feature
acts and the apparatus necessary to pro
duce them. This is its distinguishing trait,
and lifts it out of the rut and seta it over
In a class of its own."
And whisper Dlavolo, the bright scintil
lating star of a constellation, wilt positively
appear at both performances. - Diavolo's
performance -of looping the loop on a bi
cycle Is. pointed to aa the greatest circus
feature ever seen under a tent The posters
depicting the act have caused no amount
of comment, and many wagers have been
made pro and con relative to the possibility
of a man on a bicycle performing such a
feat The managers of the circus state
that any doubting Thomas will be con
vinced when the show appears hero. A
short time ago Diavolo's understudy met
with probably fatal injuries while attempt
ing to perform the feat at St Louis, but
this accident has not affected Diavolo's
nerve.
Among other features attention Is called
to the performance of the Aurora Zouaves,
heralded as the best drilled soldiers In the
world. Local military organisations are
much Interested In this exhibition. Then
there is. Minting, the marvel, who on a
single wheel ascends and descends a narrow
spiral tower that reaches to the top of the
tent. Six members of the famous Oaynell
family ride thrilling races In a small cycle.
whirl. A gymnastic sensation is promised
In the performance of the Ryan-Zorella
troupe of aeriallsta. Two scores of cham
pion riders of all schools of equestrianism
will be seen in the lings. The celebrated
LaCarmens will perform feats on a slender
wire suspended high In the air that other
performers would find difficult on the
ground. The famous Eddy family of seven
sensational acrobats are a feature of the
show. There will be every sort of act that
a well regulated show should havo and
many features that no other circus pre

Dream Tells What It
Asaoaats To.
A green boy without a dollar, present or

talking about marrying Is a spectacle for
gods and men. He should be reasoned with.
and if he will not quit it until he la able
to support a wife and so know whom be

passion, he should be quarantined or put In
a convent erected on purpose for such
cases. Nine-tenths of the unhappy mar

marry and have children before they do
mustaches; they are fathers of twins be
fore they are proprietors of pants, and the
little girls they marry are old women be
fore they are 30- Occasionally one of the
gosling marriages turns out very well, but
It is a clear case of accident.
If there was a law against young ga

evade It in some way, but there ought to

"God Savo Our President" is a new
patriotic hymn, brought out by 600 chil

"America," but the music Is the composi

the singing, and perhaps it will be pub

no reference to any Individual president

But the meter is not an Inspiring one for

NEW TORK. May 15 R. O. Dun A Co. 'a
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Warmer weather has made It possible for
the retail trade to regain part of the earlier
lonxes In volume of transactions and the
level of quotations for staple lines of mer
chandise Is well maintained.
Wholesale trade In seasonable goods is
quiet, although there Is more or loss sup-
filementary business, while Jobbers report
nc.reased Inactivity In several lines of
wearing apparel: Clothing manufacturers
are busy on fall samples, which are un
usually late. Furniture and harness fac
tories are notably well supplied with orders
and there Is no evidence of dullness in ma
chinery or hardware.
Favorable Farming- aa Aid.
At most points there are Indications of
Improvement in mercantile collections, the
favorable progress of farm work having a
good influence in the Interior, while heavy
sales of fertilisers testify to the extensive
preparation for large crops.
Industrial conditions would be exception
ally encouraging were It not for the vast
army of men voluntarily Idle. Hallway
earnings continue to show the usual gain.
May figures thus far surpassing last year's
by 13.4 per cent and those of 1901 by 29.3
per cent
An unprecedented production of pig Iron
In April was accompanied Tiy a decrease In
furnace stocks, testifying to vigorous con
sumption and wholesome conditions in the
steel Industry. It Is not surprising that
an easier tone Is noticed, however, because
the scarcity of fuel earlier In the season
had retarded output and forced quotations
above the normal, especially on prompt
shipments.
Textile manufacturing conditions are ex
tremely irregular, some improvement being
noted at woolen mills, while cotton spinners
are In a bad position. More business has
been done In men's wear, woolens and wor
steds ttiHn at any recent date, tardy sup
plementary orders having at last begun to
appear. Aside from a few exceptional
cases in which small advances were se
cured, there are no alterations In prices.
Carpets opened at the expected advance
and met a good demand.
Woolen mills are harassed by the pheno
menal quotations for raw material, being
unable to obtain even small concessions
from buyers of 'goods, who only purchase
such' small quantities as are required im
mediately. Not only has there been no
advance In print cloths, but a special sale
at 3 cents occurred. There was no demand
from producers, but there was a re-sale of
goods purchased at a higher figure earlier
In the season. Mills have not made any
general reduction in output, although the
subject is under consideration, and several
concerns have decreased the number of ac
tive looms.

States, against 228 last year, and 13 In

prices, optimistic views still rule.
Railroad operations, now free from con-
festlon, are profitable, a fltting crown to
he records of past prosperity being found
in the April record of a gain of 14 per cent
in gross receipts, which follows steady and
Incroaxlng gains made yearly in that month
since 1195.
Capital Is sought to be made In the stock
market of the weakness of pig Iron and re
ported decreases in teel. but the latter Is
denied, and while production of Iron Is now
In .unprecedented volume, reliable statistics
of stocks of this material show no accumu
lation. Steel. Is .coming In from abroad In
enormous volume and reports for the Ilical
year are the largost, with one exception. In
the country's history. A' slight revision of
prices would not be unpleaslng to domestic
producers.
Pig iron furnishes a notable exception to
tho strength of other staples, weakening,
as It has, in all markets, thus Inducing a
spreading of stories that steel b.llets.were
lower In the west. No sign of weakness In
finished steel and Iron products can be
found In the leading western centers, but
there Is a feeling that heavy Imports of for
eign billets may -shortly affect prices for
that product at seaboard markets. A sign
of strength in the finished materials is the
report that specifications for New York sre
coming forward rapidly and that mills are
pushed to keep up with their work. .
A favorably situated trade at present Is
that of shoes, eastern shipments of which
show , an, increase of 2? per cent over this
week a yeaf ago .and 11 per cent for the
season, and which brings the increase over
the record of 1901. Leather prices are
strong. . A moderate hainee- Is doing -in
hides, but firmness Is the rule.
Press woolen goods are reported moving
well, while-men's wear la quiet, but a slight
Improvement ln lone Interest Is noted. All
supplies of .wool are held steady, .while new
wool is reported bringing Va2 cents advance
over last year's prices. Western prices are
about on a parity with those In the east.

PITY THE BOY WITH MONEY
Straggles of a Youngster of IT to
Dodge the Matrimonial Net
of a Widow.
It Is becoming exceedingly dangerous for
very young men who are unused to the
wicked ways of the world to have much
money. The papers have had a good deal
to publish recently concerning the case of
an Indiana boy who Inherited a fortune
and was kidnaped by some of his relatives,
who have tried to make it appear that he
Is Insane. Now comes from Brooklyn, N.
Y., the story of Clinton Ferry, who is 17
years of age and rich.
Young Ferry went with his mother to
Brooklyn from California recently, and
made his home at a fashionable boarding
house, where he met Mrs. Jennie Mullon.
Mrs. Mullon is the divorced wife of a New
York manufacturer, and Is nearly old
enough to be Clinton's mamma. But soon
after learning that Clinton's pa had given
him a fortune the woman began to yearn
for the boy with her whole soul. She would
sit on the sofa with him and call him a
man right to ilia face, and often she would

twiddle the piano keys and sing about love
when he and she were alono In tho parlor.
-One evening she backed Clinton up In a
corner and with downcast eyes modestly
told him that she loved him and knew a
place over in New Jersey where they could
make the necessary arrangements to bava
their two hearts beat as on. But It ap
pears that Clinton ducked and ran upstairs
to his ma.
Then the hapless woman's love turned to
fierce, burning hate. She steeled her heart
against Clinton, and when she met him on
the stairs an evening or two later she
emptied a pltcherful of water upon him
and attempted to break ,the pitcher over his
head.
Clinton has probably' escaped this time,
but he Isn't out, of the woods yet, and his
case clearly Indicates that the man who ex
pects to protect his .boy, from, .trouble by
giving him riches mushave forgotten how
badly 'other people .want' money, Chicago
