Cwlll say: ""- '
Holiday trade was very hpavy during
the last few days before Christmas, rais
ing the total for the season above expec
tations, although comparisons with last
year's figures are unfavorable at,, most
points. General business has been quiet,
as Is customary at. this time, and manu-
. facturlng plants have Increased the per-
f cent age of Idle machinery- Drygoods Job-
bers stimulated trade by special clearance
sales. . .....

wage earners are unemployed than at any
previous time this year, yet many fac
tories and mills announce resumption early
In 1808 and early consumption of Btaple
commodities is not perceptibly diminished
because of the savings of the preceding
extended period of full occupation.
i A large percentage of the nation's Iron
' and steel producing . capacity has closed
dowb until January. J. and In a few cases
quotations are lower: but there Is-confidence
In an early resumption of activity.
Restoration of normal conditions Is based
on the knowledge that stocks are low in
all posltlonH and the belief that financial
conditions will be sufficiently Improved to
encourage new undertakings and the com
pletion of work on abandoned extensions
and Improvements. Textile production has
m been curtailed etlll further through con
. certed action by New Kngland cotton
spinners, and diminished output, together
with absence of any efforts to force sales,
has sustained quotations. It Is still the
fundamental factor, that buyers in the
primary market are not in position to op
erate beyond current needs on account of
difficulty In securing tinanclul accommo
dation, although advices from the west
testify to some Improvement In thU re
spect. Apathy continues In the export di
visions, conditions in China having become

held back. It Is expected that more Inter

the balance of new linos will not be opened
before that date. There Is still much un
certainty as to the grades' that will at

cheaper heavyweight woolens.
The year draws to a close with brighter
prospects for spring business In footwear

BHADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADES
Business Become Quiet and Industry
la Slackened. .
NEW, YORK. Dec. 27.-Bradstreet's will
say tomorrow:
Trade as a whole is quiet and Industry
has slackened perceptibly, but the financial
situation has eased, except where, as In
the case of - New -York, large end of the
year's disbursements have to be provided.
Mild weather is still complained of as
affecting .retail trade In seasonable goods
juch .as,, clothing, shoes, rubber footwgar
and kindred lines. At some cities the usual
January reduction sales were held In De
cember, In many Instances occurring be
fore Christmas. Jobbing trade was quiet
till after the latter date, when the usual
clearance, sales cf wash and other dress
fabrics were made, arousing, a fair amount
of interest. Wholesale, business has been
quiet and both this line and the jobbing
trado note the receipt of many requests to
delay shipment of goods.
Industrial llnes.-are quieter. very. gen
eral shutting down for the holidays being
noted and the textile trades, especially,
have shown a tendency to further curtail.
One Item In this line has been the reported
agreement of nearly 80 per cent of the
New Kngland cotton spindles to reduce or
curtail production for the next sixty or
ninety days. The Iron and steel trade Is
rather quieter, also, and the, first cuts
In finished steel are noted In a reduction
of steel bars to the extent of 12 "per ton,
coincidentally and despite a general slow
ing down of furnace output, southern Iron
is being ottered at lower prices, while
Bessemer Iron Is over $1 lower. There Is
talk of export trade being sought In iron
and steel and some large lots of' sheet
and tin plate bars are reported to have been
disposed of for shipment to. Wales. .
Collections are generally complained of
as slow, but favorable features are the
reports that many cities are bow practi

EAST ST. I.OUIS, Mo., Dec. 27.-Elmer
Weaver, manager of a roller skating rink
at Sorrento, 111., was arrested as he
stepped from a train here today on a tip
by the police that he had knowledge of tho

times and Is now being given medical at
tention at the county farm at Vandalla.
He himself was arrested as a ruse, but soon

SCHOLARSHIP AND . ATHLETIC!
Proposition that Physical Training Be
Made Part of Cnrrlcnlam. . .
NEW TORK, Dec. . 27.-Discussing the
"physical needs of scholars, athletes and
the average man," before the Society of
College Gymnasium Directors at Columbia
university today. Dr. Dudley A. Barnent
advanced the proposition, that scholarship
men should If necessary be required to
take physical training as a part, of the
curriculum.
Dr. Sargent, who Is a director of the
department of physical training at Har
vard, dwelt at length on the condition of
scholarship men as compared with the col
lege athletes, the comparison being much
to the disadvantage of the "grinds." In
the last twenty-five years, ha pointed out,
physical Improvement has been made "by
all clusses of college men, except those
holding scholarships.
"If scholarship men cannot fee Induced
to take time to' lmrpove their physique
for fear of lowering their college standing,"
said Dr. Sargent, "then make physical
training a part of the curriculum and Klv
them credit for their standing In their
physical work."

Acquaintance formed While II nud

Cllr Park About Fir
Years Ago.
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 27. News has been
received here that Miss Cora Marie Ar
nold of this city was married last Monday
in Santa Fe, N. M to Albino Chavarrla,
a full-blooded Indian.
Tho cerenc"ny .was performed by Rev.
Mr. Rehdon, ' a 'Presbyterian clergyman,
and u witnessed by the bride's sisters,
Miss Lillian and Geneva Arnold of Denver.
Chavarrla Is chief of the Santa Clara
Indians, a tribe of tho Tueblos In New
Mexico. With a large number of his tribes
men he was In camp In the city park In
Denver five years ago, when Miss Arnold
saw him and Immediately formed an at
tachment for him. After frequent vlsiU
to the camp "Jdlss (Arnold Invited the In
dlan to call at her home. She lived at the
time In a,fasionable flat with her sisters
and hor stepfather, George Wilder.
The Indian's, first visit to his sweetheart
was the causa of a disagreement between
her and the? remaining members of her
family. Objection was made only to the
Indian's race, his character being above
reproach. Miss Arnold, however, an
nounced her Intention to marry the Indian
despite the objections of her family and
friends. .
' Minister Would Not Art.
Several local ministers were asked to per
form the ceremony, but all refused. Then
an attempt was Imade to have the cere
mony performed In Santa Fe, lut there
also the clergymen refused to I officiate.
Miss Arnold returned to Denver alone,
but the) Indian made' frequent visits to
this city, each one of which was the cause
of new outbursts of gossip.
In April, 1906, Mr.. Wilder Jumped over
board from a steamer In the Gulf of Mex
ico and was drowned. He left a will, in
which he disinherited the present Mrs.
Chavarrla because of her refusal to give
up her Indian lover. After .five years of
effort the sisters of "Miss Arnold fmally
consented to the marriage and one month
ago they went with her to New Mexico.
Chavarrla is fully civilized, religious,
fairly well educated and ,well to do. He
speaks the Indian and Spanish languages,
but does not understand English, and Miss
Arnold set to work to learn the Spanish.

N. M., which he cultivates himself, and
It is understood that the couple will make
their home there. . Chavarrla Is 45 years
old and his wife Js a few years his junior.
NEWLANDS APPEALS TO TAFT
Nevada Senator Makes Another II e -Quest
to Have Troopa Star
In Goldfleld.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 27.-Senator
Newlands of Nevada Is endeavoring to
prevent a ' wlthdrawaT'of the-government
troops from Goldfleld until some other
means of protection Is had. Today he
called' upon Secretary Taft at the War
department and.aUosgly urged that, the
execution the TyroW Issued by the sec
retary for the withdrawal of the troops
next Monday .be suspended until he has
had VB; JlPPPcVinjQ communicate with
Governor Sparki'tuid endeavor to induce
him to call the Nevada legislature to
gether. Secretary Taft has been advising
with Secret sif Root, on this subject and
it is probalble that the president will be
communicated with at Pine -Knob. There
Is every disposition to, refrain from
breaking In upon his privacy at this time
and the. only excuse- for doing so' Is found
in the fact that unless the original order
Is modified the troops must leave Gold
field next Monday morning and before the
president returns to Washington. t
Administration officials feel that the
present situation' In the matter of Gold
field's case cannot , be continued In view
of the doubt that exists as to the con
stitutional and legal right of the execu
tive to employ any part of the regular
army in Nevada under present conditions.
Governor Sparks' attention has been re
peatedly called to the fact that this con
stitutional doubt might be removed by the
simple device of calling together the state
legislature, when 'that body could either
give Its warrant to the use of the federal
troops or provide by legislation for rais
ing a state force of some kind, either
militia or police, sufficient to Insure the
maintenance of peace and the observance
of law in Goldfleld. It Is believed that
Senator Newlands' appeal today Is an
Indication of the 'willingness of the gov
ernor to recall his' refusal to convene the
legislature In session and If this belief is
well founded the government troops
would probably be retained at Goldfleld
until some other arrangements can be
made.
NEW LINES IN SOUTH DAKOTA

The report shows that the total mileage
of the railroads operating lines In South

an Increase .over the mileage owned for
the year l'JW of 871.26 miles. The total
mileage actually owned and operated dur'nt
the year within the boundaries of South
Dakota was 3,636.67 miles, an Increase over
the year 11W6 of 431.79 miles. Thus nearly
one-half of the total new mileage of the
roads operating lines In South Dakota was
constructed within the limits of South Da
kota. It Is shown by the report that the rail
roads operating lines within South Da
kota reported accidents to persons on their
lines within the state of South Dakota
during the year Just closed as follows:
Railroad employes killed. 11; Injured. 272;
passengers Injured. 23; postal clerks In
jured, 3; other persons killed, 22; Injured,
20; or a total of S3 killed and SIS Injured

house licenses to the number of 1.049 were
Issued In the state, an Increase of 21 over
the previous year, and an Increase of 178
over the year 1905.
Coyote Haatlngr Beromea General.
BH08HONI. Wyo., Dec. 17. (SpeclaL)
The pursuit- of coyotes with packs of
hounds U getting to be quite a fad among
some of the townspeople. The dogs most
commonly used-are a mongrel kind of grey
hound, but there are generally several
dogs In each pack of some more savage
breed such as the Russian wolfhound, the
greyhounds being rather Inclined to timid
ity." A coyote stands a small chance when
pursued by a mixed pack of trained dogs,
generally a greyhound being the first to
overtake the coyote and. be prooeeds to
harass him until the balance of the pack
catches up, when the coyote Is speedily
finished. A heavy bounty is offered on
the pelts by a local stock association as
well as by the county, their depredations
having been unusually severe of late.

Ilaynes of Minneapolis spoke on "The Lid"
at the annual banquet of the Minnesota
Sons of the American Revolution In this

"There are laws never enforced," he

that such legislation does not reflect pub

'"The lid, speaking brdadly with refer

a federal lid, national laws having been
dug up and enforced in the last seven
years. Prohibitionists have Jumped at their
opportunity and have landed on It. In
many respects the country-wide movement

den station at 8:31. tho Atlantic City erf
press having precedence. ;
Engineers Running Cnutlonsly.
The fog was bo thick that the engineers
of the two trains were running cautiously
ami-Just outslda the station the Atlantic
train was signalled to stop. The engineer
of the Pemberton- train failed' to see the
Atlantic City train In time to avoid a col
lision, but he Instantly Jammed his brakes
down hard when It loomed up through the
fog. Tho sudden Jolt forced the tender of
the Pemberton train Into the first car,
wrecking it badly and either killed or In
Jured everybody in the coach. The train,
however, did not come to a full stop, but
slid Into the rear of the Atlantic City ex
press, .causing the tender to further tele
scope the first car. The force of the col
lision was slight and no one was Injured on
the forward train.
Hot coals from the wrecked locomotive of
the Pembertoh train "set the wreckage on
fire and It was at first feared that many of
the injured passengers who were pinioned
under the heavy twisted Iron and wood
would be burned to death, but the prompt
action of the Camden fire department In
extinguishing the flames and tlie efficient
rescue work of the uninjured passengers
undoubtedly saved many lives. Borne of the
Injured may die.
