QI A1T FE ATI RES OF .LIFE.
In' southeastern Texas Is A small town
named Langtry, after the Jersey Lily. A
few days ago the waning beauty snJ nc
tress passed through It on her way to Cali
fornia, and, naturally, as her coming had
been announced, some appropriate dem
onstration In hor honor had been expected.
But there was no brass band or other evi
dence of an ovation. Th engine pulled
up under th water tank, and a lank West
Texan peered In through the curtains of
the sleeper and called to several of his
companions: "There's the old girl now;
howdy do, Lll." That was all.
V. J. KIrwan, mayor of Severance, Kan.,
has given under his hand and seal a leap
year proclamation which concludes: "It
shall be lawful, right, proper and fitting,
nnd the unalienable privilege of any single
woman In this city, be she maid or widow,
to ask or solicit the hand In wedlock ot
any single man, young or old, whom she
may choose. Any man so asked shall be
In duty bound to accept such proposal un
less he can give good and sufficient reason
for refusing, such reason being based upon
the fact of hts being already engaged."
One of the ablest business njen of New
York, a gentleman who has amassed a
handsome fortune by honest methods,
takes a drink of liquor whenever he feels
like It and smokes expensive cigars. For
rrtany years It has been his practice to
touch neither liquor nor tobacco In two
months of the year March and November.
On the first day ot each he positively,
firmly and uncompromisingly banishes the
weed and "blue ruin.' These biennial
periods of abstention he observes so as to
afford himself proof that hs is (till abso
lute master ot hi appetite.
Lydla Wledelman of' Calumet, Mich., Is
only 15 years old, but she tips the scales
at 366 pounds. Ever since her birth her
growth ot weight has been remarkable,
but she has gained most In ths last two
or three years. Bhe Is apparently In good
health and does not seem to mind her su
perabundance of flesh, being of a happy
disposition, and Is perhaps bothered only
by the attention she attracts. Neither of
her parents Is of large size, and physicians
cannot account for her case. .
In his will, which has Just been admitted
to probata In the county surrogate's office
at West Holly, N. J., after disposing of an
esfate valued at several thousand dollars,
Lorenxo D. HammelL a former Burlington
coal dealer, who died on his farm near that
city recently, directs that the following In
scription be placed upon his tombstone: '
"In memory of Lorenzo D. Hammell.
Born Nov. 2L 1818; died . By force of
eternal law, man lives and dies. The pur
pose of hi production he cannot know, but
can be assured that If planned and exe
cuted by omnlscent wisdom and omnlscent
power, it can neither be an experiment.
mlBtake, nor failure, but must result a
the Designer Intended, and had all know
ledge and power to accomplish." '
There was rare fun "on tb hoof" for
twenty minutes when a bull Invaded the
skating pond at Blxty-nrst and Arch
streets, Philadelphia.
Taurus broke from a butcher' drove and
made straight for th pond, wher a crowd
of skaters, a hot-sausage man arid a waffle
vender ware making merry. Cutting a fig
ure eight near the edge of the Ice, the bull
made a center rush that landed him among
the skaters. Then he smelted sausage, and
for the fragrant booth he headed. There
was a scattering, of steaming welner, and
blood-wurst ran riot over th Ice. The
waffle man fled, but his little stove still
puffed steam, and thither the' skating bull
roamed.- He hit the waffle bazar squarely
and a hundred hot cakes went cold ln
stanter. The boy and girl on skates. In panlo at
sight of the bellowing terror, tumbled over
each other In search of shore. They all
escaped. So did the bull when h got
ready. Later he was taken 'to Fifty-ninth
and Market streets', wher a Delaware
county farmer claimed him.
Thirty years ago when Wilbur T. Storey
ran the Chicago Times, he set the entire
staff to work on an Imaginary story of the
destruction of a theater by Are. The story
filled a page and a half of the Times and
no detail was lacking. The" loss of life
was appalling;, and many of tha Incidents,

COLLECTIONS STILL VERY SATISFACTORY
General Market Sltaatloxt Better Tha a
tor Sixty Days Past ana Tendency
of Prices Vpward Rather
Than Downward.
Trade last week In both wholesale and
retail circles was rather quiet. The onlv
reason given Is the unseasonable weather
experienced nil over the country tributary
to Omaha. Very few complaints, however,
are heard, ss- merchants have done a very
fnlr business throughout the season and
expect to clean up their stocks of winter
lines In good shape. Wholesalers never
expect much business In January and con
sequently they are not disappointed. Ttwir
traveling salesmen are out after spring
business and are meeting with good suc
cess. The cut rates which the. railroads
put Into effect on Friday, It Is thought,
will bring In a good many merchants from
this time on- and that house trade will
show a big Improvement. Every year more
merchants take advantage of these cut
rates to visit their market and ss a result
wholesalers expect more buyers In the city
this spring than ever before.
The general market situation Is In a more
heilthy condition than It has been for
sixty days past. There does not seem to
be nearly as much uneH.-lness js win
generally anticipated for this time and with
very lew. exreptlons the tendency of prices
Is upward rather than downward. Those
who are In a position to know say that
merchandise at present prices is good prop
erty and that retxllera need h ava tin fnr
in placing their orders on the present basis.
collections are in Detter condition tnan
would naturally be expected owing to the
warm weather that has prevailed the
greater part of the season and wholesalers
say that the fact that merchants are meet
ing their bills In good shape Is evidence
oi mo laci mat tneynave neen doing a
fairly good buttress and also that they are
ill better condition financially than ther
ever have been before.
Coffee Still Advancing;.
Wholeiale aroeers renort tha volume of
business as being very good for the time
of year. The market' is also In a good
healthy condition, with several lines show
ing a tendency to advance. Among these
is coffee, which has been going steadily
upward for some time tast. The sdvnnee
Inst week amounted to from cent to H
cent and no one seems willing to venture
a guess as to what tho top will be.
l nere nas been no change since last re-
fnrt In sugar, both raws and refined hold
ng about steady.
in the canned goods line Interest centers
around corn and peas. The situation on
corn has undergone no particular change,
but packers throughout the state of Iowa
and the west report that they are closely
sold up on futures and. In fact, many of
thetn are refusing business.
mere is a disposition among wisoonsm
pea packers to advance prices from ' 6 to
10 cents per dozen over the prices In force
a year ago.
t uture tomatoes are not being offered to
any extent, but there are a few lines on
tne market that are quoted conslderamy
higher than prices now existing on spot
stock. Bo long an spot stock can be bought
at the present low basis there Is not much
opportunity lor business on futures at a
higher price except in the case of goods
with private labels. Outside of corn, peas
and tomatoes, there is no special interest
being manifested In canned: goods and
prices J-emaln practically unchanged.
in dried fruits there is a stronger reeling
on Santa Clara prunes and a very much
stronger feeling on Oregon Italians. Whlla
peaches and apricots are In very light
supply there has been no particular change
in the market. At a meeting or tne Cali
fornia' Kaiain Growers' association, reently
held, it -was decided not to change prices,
but to maintain present Quotations indefi
nitely. Jobbers do not look for any change
for the next two or three months.
A stronger feeling Is reported on rice and
quite a little speculative Interest Is de
veloping In the south.
The fish market Is feeling the effect of

the near approach of the !nten season im
quite a demand has already set In, and a,
lines are moving freely. The market oi
smoked bloaters has advanced 10c on 'i
and 15c on lws, with every prospect of fur
ther advances In the near future. Genuine
codfish Ims been going up almost dally.
The catch of all grades has been very light
for both fresh and salt stock and In fTict
the shortage, as compared with a year ag
mount to about 1CUm,0"i pounds, with no
relief In sight. Family whitetlsh advanced
2fo per halt barrel and still higher prices
are confidently looked for. Jobbers say
that In view of the strong condition of
the market merchants should lay In their
stocks at once for the lnten season to
protect themselves against still further ad
vances. Lest ilcs the usual lines, local
houses are offering novelties In the line
of both salt and smoked fish, which ar
both tasty and attractive.
Woodenware, as anticipated through
these columns. Is advancing and a number
of lines are now quoted considerably higher
than before the first of the year. The gen
eral Impression Is that the top lias not
been reached and that still higher prices
will rule, with no prospect of any declines
worth mentioning.
t'ottoa Uoods Cqntlnoe Strong;.
The cotton goods situation is much the'
same as It was a week ago and by that it
is meant that the tendency of prices is de
cidedly upward, with every Indication of
still higher prices. The ativances are too
numerous to mention, but It "is evident
from the way merchants are placing their
orders that they Intend to protect them
selves and lay In' their supplies before there
are further advances. It Is, however, not
alone a question of- price, but one of get
ting goods at any figure, as It becomes more
evident each week that there It going to
be a marked shortage of desirable lines.
The high price of cotton has caused many
mills to Close and probably will be the
cause of several more shutting down.
Wholesalers are of, the opinion that the
condition of the market will cause mer
chants 4o buy their spring goods St an
earlier date than they did a year ago.
Jobbers are still busy rushing out their
advance orders tor spring goods.1 Not many
buyers have as yet arrived on the market,
but It Is expected that they will Begin to
come in this week and in about two weeks
the rush will be on.
Better Tone In Hardware. -
The hardware market Is In much better
shape than It has been for sixty days past.
It will be remembered that for a lew weeks
previous to the end of the year the gen
eral prediction was that lower price would
rule alter January 1. Instead of lower
prices, however, the market is much firmer
and the tendency Is upward rather than
downward. There have been no special
advances of Importance, but still jobbers
are very confident that the market will
be In a good, healthy condition from this
time on and as a result retailers need have
no hesitancy In placing orders for all the
goods they will need for some time to come.
Trade so far this month has been a lit
tle aulet and more aeaMnnnhlA ,uihp nn
doubt Would Improve the situation to quite
an extent. Jobbers, hewever. are looking
forward to a good spring trade and expect
to easily maintain It not break the record
established a year ago.
Robber Goods Very Quiet.
The rubber gooxls men have been 'feel
ing the effects of the weather to a greater
extent perhaps than any other class of
meachanls. 'there has been comparatively
little weutber so far of the right kind to
move ' rubber goods. Cold weather helps
to some, extent, but snow is much belter.
It Is not the immediate situation that
worries Jobbers, but the fear that re
tailers will not clean out' the goods that
they already have on hand, which would
of course injure next fall's business very
materially. With the proper kind of
weather during the remainder of the sea
son there is plenty of time Tor retailers
to ,sell out their stocks, so that Jobbers
are not as yet very uneasy.
Tbere Is nothing new to be said regard
ing the new price list. Wholesalers of
course cannot start out after advance busi
ness until prices are named and as a re
sult they are doing nothing In that line,
whereas a year ago they were taking an
Immense number of orders. No one In
Omaha Is In a position to say when the
prices will be made.
The leather goods trade Is as good as
could be expected at this time of year.
Retailers have enjoyed a nice business
all the season and their stooks are well
cleaned up. Traveling salesmen are do
ing well on their spring lines, o that
leather goods men have no complaints
to offer. ,
