VERY FAVORABLE Is the Report of Easiness for the Past Week. Business failures oocutring throughout the country daring last week as reported to R. G. Dunn & t o. number, for the Unit' d States, 227; Canada, 50; total, 295; against 285 last week. The week broken by a holiday, has shown the usual characteristics— weak speculation, active retail trade and moderate whole¬ sale business. But the great factors which go to make national prosperity are unaltered. Money is in ample supply, with no sign of loss. The industries are fairly employed with some improvement. wonderful Crops are moving with freedom and in quantities, and exports are remarkably heavy. Even the approaching session of con¬ gress it is gives rise to little apprehension, will as felt that the opposin' parties have to act cautiously in view of the coming general eleotion. There are signs that the distribution of products to con¬ sumers is improving. SOUTHERN TRADE HEALTHY. Southern cities report better: Savan¬ nah alone reports present trade liyht, and money no easier, but prospects bright. Speculation during the past week has not been active, but the corner at Chicago has put up corn for immediate delivery six points, and pork is 25 cents higher. Oats 1 1-8 and wheat 5-8 cents per bushel, while corn and sugar are heavy. Receipts of cotton exeeed those of the same week last year by 50,00t) bales, and exports by 92,COO bales, but stocks in this country are 521,000 bales larger. In the great industries the outlook is improved. There is a better demand for iron, and sales of pig are met with astonishing steadiness in prices, considering the enormous offered output. Some Virginia iron is very low, and $16 at Providence for No. 1 is quoted. MONEY IS EASY. Money is comparatively easy, nnd col¬ lections generally fair.

Exports of products in four weeks at New York have exceeded last year by $8,461,482 in value, indicating an aggregate for the month probably exceeding $95,000,000, and at the same time there is a decrease of 10 per cent in the value of imports. There is certain to be a very large balance probable on the merchandise account by Europe, and much anxiety appears in some quarters as to how the strain abroad would be met, but thus far there are no tive signs of real trouble except in specula¬ quarters.___ THE EDITOR ARRESTED For Raising Funds to Pay the Arch¬ bishop’s Fine. A cablegram of Friday from Paris, says: When the archbishop of Aix was convicted of insulting M. Falliers,^min¬ ister of justice and public worship, and fined 3,000 francs, the newspaper Figaro decided that it would opeu a pub¬ lic subscription to raise the amount ne necessary to pay the fine. It printed an appeal to the public, and finally announc¬ ed that enough money had been sub¬ scribed to meet the object in view. The government, however, did not approve this sciion on the part of the Figaro, holding that it was in violation of the press law which forbids the opening of subscriptions to pay legal costs. Cita¬ tion was, therefore, served upon the edi¬ tor, and he will be prosecuted. The archbishop of Annecy has written a letter similar to that which caused the prosecution of the archbishop of Aix. It is expected the government will take no¬ tice of the letter and cause its author to be prosec uted. __ RYAN BACK IN JAIL. Because He Failed to Turn Over $121,000 to the Receiver. At Atlanta, Saturday, the supreme court decided the Ryan case by affirming the judgment of the superior court, which required receiver that Steve Ryan Mr, turn Ryan over de¬ to the $121,000. clared that he did not have the money, therefore could not pay it. He was sent back to jail Saturday night, where, ac¬ cording to the order of the court, he will remain until the money is paid. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Germany leads in paper-mills. Coffee mills are run by electricity. Instantaneous photographs show lip movements. The experiment is about to bo tried in Chicago of running double-decked street cars. A street railway system, to be operated by compressed air, is to be inaugurated in Leavenworth, Kan. The' power will also be applied to factories. The phonograph has been applied to the telephone, so that any conversation coming over the wires during the day may be readily reproduced. Phosphorus is now being made by decomposing a mixture of acid phos¬ phates and carbon by the heat of an electric arc within the mass. The latest innovation in car decora¬ tion is a new material called “sili chrome.” It can be used also for depot or other interior decoration. On the eastern frontier of the “Dark Continent” coal is so plentiful that by lifting a shovelful of clay off any particu¬ lar spot it may be reached. But there is no means of transporting it to market. The range of naval guns is roughly one mile for every inch of calibre foi guns less than ten inches, but last year a 9.2 inch breech-loading rifle attained a range of twelve miles. The pneumatic gun has fired a dummy shell two miles and a half. It is said that the local steam trains between St. Paul and Minneapolis have all been taken off, being unable to com¬ pete with the electric road, which is running trips every eight minutes, and is expected soon to change to five minute schedule. About twice as much energy is re¬ quired to stop a moving object as to start it. In order to relieve its horses of a great deal of work, the London Gen¬ eral Omnibus Company has adopted an ingenious device by which springs are wound up when the omnibus stops. The amount of energy which is thus scored up in the springs is utilized for starting the vehicle again. A smokeless powder has been prepared at the Newport (R. I.) Torpedo Station which is credited with having given a rifle bullet the astounding velocity of 2860 feet per second. Moreover, it is stated that at a distance of 500 yards the report of the gun was not heard nor was any smoke visible. Gun cotton pulp is reported to be the base of the powder, but the other ingredients and their ma¬ nipulation are a Government secret. A lake has a wonderfully tempering effect on the climate. Thus, according to M. Forel, the quantity of heat accu¬ mulated in the Lake of Geneva, Switzer¬ land, during the summer of 18S9 was equal to that given off by the combustion of 31,000,000 tons of coal, or the amount carried by a coal train 1120 miles in length. The greater part of the heat is discharged iuto the air of the valley dur¬ ing the cold season, thus producing a milder temperature in autumn and win ter. Dr. Brown-Sequard in one of his lec¬ tures dwells with great emphasis on the importance of general kno wledge in the matter of checking coughing and sneez¬ ing. He states that coughing can be stopped by pressing the nerves of the lips in the neighborhood of the nose, and sneezing may be stopped the same way. Pressing in the neighborhood of the ear, or right in fTbnt of the ear, may stop coughing. It is so also of hiccough¬ ing, but much less so than for sneezing or coughing. Pressing very hard on the roof of the mouth is also a means of ar¬ resting a cough, and the will Itself is often found to be a wonderful preventive. What Becomes of All Old Hats J What becomes of all old hats ? “ Wt have about 200 old hats strewed alons under the counters and in the bacii room,” said a South Clark street hatter. “From ten to twenty-five tramps coint in daily and ask for a hat, yet our refuse supply seems undiminished. The tramps are glad to see cool or rainy weather at this time of the year. They know that it will drive in the straw bats, and they will fall heir to them. Aftei these straw hats have done service all summer the tramps wear them all winter. For a summer hat the tramp gets the cast-off winter hat. He reserves the fashion. A. great majority, however, take their old hats home and lay them up for a rainy or a snowy day. Some people will wear a straw hat two sea¬ sons, but tho great majority give them to the poor. We send a large number to the charitable institutions. A great many hats are left to be called for. If dot cVtled for within thirty days we give them away. Sometimes sharpers attempt their little games ou us. A small man left his hat here, buying a cut-off crown hat. The one he left was out of shape, had lost its gloss and color, and was worthless. He did not say that he would return for it, nor did he say that he would not. We put it aside, but when he called for it we could not find it at the moment. He then claimed that it was a good hat and demanded $5 for it. We made a thorough search, found the battered tile and handed it to him. Seeing that his scheme had failed he threw the old hat into the street.”— Chicago Times. A Western man says this is a “tough world,” and it is his opinion that very few who arc in it now will ever get out of it alive .—Pharmaceutical Era. The Worlds Largest Orchard. n the wild district between Hana and Haiku, during" July and August, the mosi beautiful and largest apple orchards in the world can be seen The Wilderness of Koolan, as the district is called, con¬ tains a forest of native wild apple trees, countless in number, stretching from the sea far up the mountain sides. The trees vary nnd from forty to fifty feet in height, in the harvest season, from July to September, are loaded down with fruit, some standing white, but mostly red. A person in the midst of the orchard can look around him for miles, up the moun¬ tains nnd toward the road, and the only thing in view will be one vast grove of apple trees literally red wi h ripe and ripening bending fruit, the branches of the trees to the ground with the bounte¬ ous harvt st. The crop of this extensive apple or¬ chard which nature planted in the soli¬ tary waste would fill a fleet of 100 steamers. The orchard stretches over a country from five to ten miles wide by twenty miles long, and many of the larger trees bear at least fifty barrels apiece. The fruit is delicious for table use, and will appease both thirst and hunger, but as yet no one has taken the trouble to make any commercial use of the apples. When rine they wi 1 not keep more than a week, but they make excellent jelly and jam, and simply for the l ick of a little American enterprise millions of barrels of apples arc per¬ mitted annually to fall to the ground and rot.—Honolulu Cor. Chicago Trib unc. She Didn’t Mean It. A girl who was accustomed to conclude all her stories with the words, “Wasn’t it funny?” was telling her mother of the sorrow which had come to a school friend “Just think,” she began, “I asked Annie Platt this morning if she knew why Marv Wallis, that pretty girl fror Iowa, wore black, aud she said that Mary was out in a sailboat with her mother and two brothers last summer, and a squall came up, and the boat capsized, and they were ad drowned except Mary. Wasn’t it funny?” “I shouldn’t consider it a subject of mirth,” said her mother dryly, and then the girl, who was really full of sympathy for her new friend, realized what she had said.—Youth’s Companion. Cheaper in the End. Boutton—“So you are not going housekeeping when you get married?” De Boarder—“No. We shall board for a year.” “Isn’t that rather an extravagant to begin ?” “Not at all. I desire my wife to economy housekeeping, of my landlady. Then we start and I will make an allowance of as much a week as paid for board.” “What do you think will be the sult?” “Well, by the time we are old ought to have about a York Weekly. A Matter of Honor. Tramp—“Here’s twenty-five cents. want ter pay it to you fer that lunch, and then you throw in five of beer. See?” Bar-Tender—“Twenty-five cents buy the beer. The lunch is free, know.” “I don’t wan’t er that way. I want pay a quarter fer the lunch and git beer free. See?” “It’s all one either way. What ence does it make!” “It’s a matter of personal honor, sir. promised th’ ole lady wot give me quarter that Pd spend it fer something eat. See?”—New York Weekly. Washed Her Hands. Mistress—“Where is the spoon which you mixed this pudding?” ' New Girl—“I mixed it widme hands, mum.” ed Mistress—“Humph! them.” I hope you wash¬ New Girl—“Yes, indeed, mum, I had to. They was all stuck up wid pud din’.” Commendable. All claims not consistent with tho high character of Syrup of Figs are purposely avoided by the Cal- Fig Syrup Company.
