X., Y.. L This want ad did not appear In a local papf i but It would have dona a lot of grod had It been Inserted Thursday, for the councilman lost ten pounds In weight each Friday morning In an animated dis cussion on the general fund apportionments as adopted Informally Thursday afternoon and published Friday morning. It finally was agreed to adopt the apportlonmenta already announced, and a concurrent reso lution to that effect waa prepared and passed on to the mayor. Councilman Zlmman took the lead In the contention that the council apportioned only 243.OK.a0 for the various general fund Items, whereas (248.000 was available. The difference of nearly 16.000 Mr. Zlmman wanted applied on the fire fund, which had been cut 16.000 as part of the 100,000 reduc tion In the total levy - and which caused SUoh a commotion In the council chamber. In Justice It might be said that this . Is the first experience the present council. except Mr. Zlmman, has had In the matter of apportioning the funds. . The council adjourned to meet at I o'clock p. m. Friday to receive the levy resolu tlon from the mayor and act on various bids. Comptroller Lobeck arrived at his figur ing for the guidance of the council by de ducting1 10 per cent from $248,000, which made $223,200; then he added to the latter cum 120,000, estimated miscellaneous col lections, , such as fines, license fees, etc. for 1907, making a total of 1243,200 to be apportioned. The council apportioned to within $173.20 of that sum. Mr. Zlmman contended 'the full amount of $248,000 should have been apportioned. YOUNG WIFE TAKES POISON Bom testlom Whether It Is a f Aeeldeat e Sal elde. Mrs. Charles Stanley, aged & years. Ur lng with her husband at 107 South Fortieth street, died early last evening In severe convulsions from strychnine poisoning. The circumstances surrounding the woman's death pointed . toward suicide, but the theory of self-destruction is not accepted because of the almost entire absence of motive, The poison Was evidently taken'about 6:30 o'clock and death ensued an hour later. About ten minutes before death. Dr. Ben awa arrived, and, being unable to leara from any of those present what Mrs. Stan ley had swallowed, ' he managed to rouse her sufficiently to get the one word "stryeh june" from her Hps before she entered the last convulsion. Dr. Robert - Jensen ' had teen called, but too fate to be of ser vice. " ,.' .- ('. ' ' i.

The oommlttee on education of the General federation of Women's Clubs baa Issued .he following communication to the chair men of education committees of the various states: As the chairman of the education com mittee of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, I take pleasure In wishing you all sucoeaa In the new year's work fur education. I am glad to call your attention first to the work In behalf of better ethical In struction In the schools of our nation, and to let you know that a conference on that subject Is to' be held In Chicago In Feb ruary, with members of other national or gunlsatlons of women and of the National koucation association. Such a conference was planned In con nectlon with the great annual meeting of me National luiucationai association at San Francisco, last July, which was ren dered Impossible by the earthquake. The superintendents' department of that organi sation will meet at Chicago in February, 0! Greater Food Valuo Whole wheat is of greater food value than any other cereal. It contains all ot the fourteen elements nec essary (or the sustenance of the human body. The most Important of these (the nitrogenous principles and salts) lie near the turtace of the grain and are only partly utilised In the manufacture of the present day wheat flour.

The chief sub ject for discussion will be the best methods to be used In both home and school tor producing high character In the children of our land. Each organisation Is gathering pamphlets and courses of study for com parison and approval at this conference. Will you. therefore, kindly forward to me, before February first, outlines of any methods which have been found to be par ticularly successful In your state T It la hoped that this conference will bring about a permanent and helpful relationship among these six organisations In their work for education. Book on Teachers' Salaries. As a second matter of Interest, let me ask you to find a place among your pamphlets for a volume of Statistics on Teachers' Salaries, which will soon be sent to you by the secretary , of the National Educational asaoclatlon. 'If you can And time during the next two years to discover from these statistics which shall have the highest standards, and just where your own state stands with regard to them, and then to disseminate that knowledge among clubs of your state, you will be helping the committee of the General Federation to prepare for some work It hopes to do In the future. The National Educational as sociation la glad to give us this opportunity to Increase our own familiarity with pres ent conditions, and to spread as widely as possible the knowledge 11 workers havs amassed In this volume. We hope that the publication of other ststlstlcal tables which will show In compact form how the various nates compare in regard to other Important educational matters. Guided by such statistics, the allied efforts of so many organisations ought to bring about a greater degree of uniformity In the educa tional advantages of the different parts of our nation. While you are considering ths salary question, will you also endeavor to find what is the required equipment for the teaching profession in your state? Very few states have any fixed standard. All kinds of certificates or diplomas are ac cepted, and In some places none aie required. A few states require normal school diplomas or high school diplomas. Borne schools require also a college diploma. All the Information you can gather with regard to your own state will be gratefully reoMved by the member of the general com mittee who corresponds with you. Ths third Hue of work which the gen eral oommlttee must undertake this year Is ths raising of a fund for the scholarship In an English university which was recom mended to the executive board at 8t Paul by the vote of those present at ths confer ence on education, and waa later approved by the board. Keenest lw Ceatrlbatleas. The general committee asks each state committee to raise one hundred dollars (tluu) toward such a fund, and also to present a candidate for the scholarship who shall be a graduate of the state uulverslty or ot some Institution In the state of equal rank. The conditions which shall decide the be stowal of the scholarship upon one cf the candidates presented by the various states have been left In the hands of a special committee of three college deans and presi dents selocted from the advisory committee of the comjiiltlae on education. They are Miss Laura D. Gill, dean of barnard ool-lt-ge; Miss M. Carey Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr college, and Miss Agnes Irwin, dean of RaddiCfe oc liege. This ape clai committee will have these eond.tlons ready to present to the council tor approval at the meeting In Jamestown next June. It la hoped that every state president will come to that council with the report that her state will be ready to jvesaut lis luM at the biennial In Boston. Each state com mittee on education will be left to select Its own method both for obtaining ths hundred dollars and for choosing the candi date. All candidates should be reported to the special committee before November 1. u7. Arrangements will be made for this after the special committee has re ported to the council in June. Hoping that your state committee may give Its cordial co-operation In these lines of work, and also that the general commit tee may be able to give you any encour agement or asi'latancj In your state work which you may desire.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4,-R. O. Dun ft Co.'a review of trade tomorrow, will say: The new year opens blight, with prom ise of business, no excessive stocks being carried over, and results of Inventories fully equal , to sanguine anticipations. It la noticeable In dispatches from the west that there was less than the customar) lull In business during the holiday season, while bargain sales are rapidly disposing of the moderate supplies remaining on hand. In the leading industries contracts on the books are large and plants operat. full time, except where materials or fue. cannot be secured or finished products can not be forwarded to consumers. There u much complaint from northwestern rlou mills on this point, and export trade L also restricted because grain and othe. merchandise fail to reach the seaboaru promptly. To this delay may be attributes part of the decrease of ll.?4i,66 In exports from this port for the last week, as coin pared with the movement a year ago, whllo imports exceeded the very heavy total for the previous year by W,6xl .too. Many contracta for a large tonnage ot Steel appeared during the last week, nota bly structural material for Han KTMjiclr-n Railway requirements show no abatement, few contracts being considered, however, exoept for delivery in the last half of the year. Prices of pig Iron havs risen close to the position of luuu, but finished products are still much lower as to standard fig ures, although the premiums frequently paid for prompt delivery make comparisons difficult. Meanwhile the railways do not move the pig Iron as desired, and many muis are running on ugnt stocxa Business In the primary market for tex tile has been Interrupted by the holidays and Inventories, but work Is progressing in preparation of new lines for the coming aeaaon. Bhlpments of bales of sheeting have been sent to China, the flrsl export business from that quarter for a long tlms, and more orders could have been secured by the making of offers. Reviving Interest tends to strengthen the tone ot the market, already decidedly firm. New Kngland footwear manufacturers enjoy a feeling of confidence regarding busi ness during the early part of lKo.. Tut leather market Is Invariably dull during the first halt of January, but trade at the pres ent Is better than usual at this time of the year. Wheat waa deDresaed by ' accumulated stocks at the northwest, and weather con ditions unfavorable for winter wheat In tlon market brought higher quotations and tnucn covering of outstanding contracts. BRAD STREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE Iaeastrlal Ilaes Never So Active Before at This Seaaoa of Year. NEW YORK, Jan. . Bradstreet's to morrow will say: Quiet prevails In distributive trade, but Industrial lines were never so active at this season. Post holiday and weather conditions affect both wholesale and retail trade, the latter line noting slackness In demand for heavy wearing apparel. Clear ance sales by jobbers nave cleaned up stocks, which were at no time burdensome, and many cities report retailers already be ginning to stimulate sales In winter goods By cut price sales. Prices ot staples show remarkable atrength and Iron and steel, leather, raw wool, cotton and cotton goods display no table firmness. While the car shortage trouble Is still very acute the country over, there are reports from a few sections, imperially the northwest and parts of the Pacific coast, that grain and lumber are novlng more freely. It Is noted now, as last year at tms time, that mild weather, while a drawback to tome lines of trade, allows of building be .ng carried on In a usually closed season. Collections are classed as good at ths west tnd only fair In the northwest. Building operations have fallen off, but he railroads continue to place goodly ontracts for structural shapes. Merchant ars are active and wire products are In ood demand. Coke Is strong and while here Is a heavy shortage of supplies In he Chicago district, the supply of local .iy-product material Is sufficient to prevent a serious situation. Coal Is nrm ana in good demund. Ld and spelter are not so nrm. Tin declines sharply in tne latter part of the wk on pressure to sell and a more favorable statistical situation. Do mestic copper Is nrm and considerable premium prevails for spot supplies, nut late advices Indicate weaknesa for war this country, while the Argentine harvest oa-resalna- raudlv. shipment lo Eu rope thus far this season, from all surplus nations, havs reached the dimensions prom' ised by large crops, and the smaller yield In Russia is a sustaining factor In the markets for distant options. But domestic trading lacks vigor, speculators at ths west taking little aggressive action. Steady ab sorption of spot cotton and fear of pres sure aaaluat the snwl acguunl In lbs ent rants and refined copper In the over-sea markets. drain prices have shown little movement. The aggressive strength of all kinds of leather and of hides Is In real sharp con treat with the reports of conservative buy ing of shoes of manufacturers. Shoe ship, ments from eastern cities for 19U6 aggre gated 5,082,380 cases, a gain of one-half ot 1 per cent over 130R. The situation In textile markets Is an parently a very strong one. Clearing sales by Jobbers have been complete and cotton goods are heavily sold ahead. Most manu facturers are booked for six months and prices are very firm.
