MONEY is said to be very scarce. This is not true everywhere as John D. Rockefeller's income is over $10,000 a day.
EVERYBODY seeuis to be in favor of retirement. Cleveland wants to retire the greenbacks and tbe people propose to retire Grover.
THE treasury gold icstrve is now down to $75,000,000. We know treasury reserves that are down much lower than that, including silver, greenbacks, treasury notes, stamps, etc etc.
ALREADY a number of men, who from force of habit, and for no special reason, have been voting the Democrat ticket, have announced their intension of voting with the Republican party next year
TIIE Commissioner of Pensions is out with a r* commendation that clerks in that departines-t who have become disabled from work, fiom old ag?, or otherwise, be put on a civil pension list. That i^ ar: ant nonsense. We want no civil pension list in this country. Tbe tact is, in the depaitments at Wnshmirtou 'here are about two people or more for one job and the majority of them are pnid much more than persons of -qnnl opacity .'ire earui ng at private employment. Then why pension thim? Let them be provident and lay by in store for a rainy day, or do like other people.

She claims damages from Hoop etal for being instrumental in bringing her husband to death and depriving her of his care, etc.
STILL. LETTING THEM DIE.
Tlie Christian Scientists Getting in Their Work. Every few days we read of some children who are being prayed for by Christian Scientists dying. Within a week at Anderson Frank Kem and wife Christian Scientists have lost a little boy and a little girl with what the neighbors think was diphtheria. They called no doctors but had two men christian scientists to pray for the children. The little three-year old boy suffered with a sore throat and every time he coughed or swallowed tears would come in his eyes. Sunday the parents had him out riding and on Tuesday he was buried. If the people of other cities would do their duty they would see that the children were protected and received proper medical attention. Christian Science has had no great run in Greenfield since "Healer Haines was fined and left town.

New Siiperii.'tetMient at The Stove ~\Y rks. As Mr. J. W. Ramsey goes to Charleston, 111. to take charge of s. stove works recently purchased by him and his brother in-law, Jas. A. Welis, Mr. A ig the proprietor employed a new man. The new Superintendent, John M. Meade is now in charge and is quite a pleasant gentleman. He came here from Salem, O., where he was connected with the Victor stove works. He is a thoroughly couipettnt. man as he has been in the business 25 years.
He is much pleased with Greenfield, especially the spirit of progress and enterprise shown by our citizens, and natural gas is also a new thing for him. He will shortly move his family, consisting of a wife and daughter, to this city. Greenfield always extends a warm welcome to business men who cast their lots with us.
A
Tlie Next Lecture A Fine One. A rich treat is in store for those who attend the next lecture in the High school course. It will be delivered by Dr. Nourse. Read what the New Castle Courier says of him. "That was a delighted audience at the Alcazar Tuesday evening which listened to Dr. Nourse, in hi? graphic and dramatic discourse on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. After "briefing" these two characters the able lecturer went on to prove du-il lives of all individuals, and the causes leading to these double lives. His illustrations were so well drawn, and so true to the real, that the Doctor held the closest attention of his large audience for nearly two hours."

DUN'S TRADE REYIEW
Prices of Manufactured Products Slowly Recede.
GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.
Actual Consumption of Iron Jluri .^nailer, Though the Furnaces Continue to Turn Out an Increased Stock V.'Veat
Comes Forward Rapidly—Wool Has Hot Advanced—The Week in Business. NEW YORE, Dec. 14.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says:
It has been
a
very quiet week with
out any disturbance. Prices of manufactured products slowly recede from the highwater mark of speculation and no material increase iu demand is now expected until after the holidays, but there is general confidence that greater activity will then appear and that works which have stopped a little earlier than usual will again be called into operation.
The government crop report caused scarcely a ripple of interest, though indicating 6,400.000 bales less of cotton, and a larger acreage than had been expected of winter wheat. The great supplies of cotton brought over from previous years render it unimportant whether the yield of 1895 was 7,000,000 or 6,000,000 bales, except as affecting future planting and the extensive organizations of planters to keep back their cotton deprives small receipts of their natural influence. Whether from that cause or not receipts have recently been over 10 per cent smaller than last year, but takings of spinners and exports are also smaller. The price rose three-sixteenths and closed at 8.50 cents.
Wheat continues to come forward so rapidly that past estimates of yield, whether official or unofficial, are discredited. Western receipts were 6,003,404 bushels for the week, against 3,403,611 last year, while Atlantic exports, flour included, were but 1,846,355 bushels, against 2,357,218 last year. At current prices, it seems improbable that marketing has been out of proportion to yield and prices for the week show little change.
Iron furnaces in blast Dec. 1, turned out 216,797 tons weekly, against 217,306 Nov. 1, "with increase of 8,000 tons in stocks unsold. But actual consumption is much smaller than the output at present, and prices again declined. No. 1 anthracite to $13.75, Bessemer pig at Pittsburg to$12.60 and rrrey forge to .$12. Finished products are weak and sell below quotations, though quoted prices average about half of per cent for the week. Heavy orders by the Rockefeller interest for plates and other material to build vessels for transportation of Mesaba ore next year have strengthened the marker somewhat, but the demand at the oast is very light and most of the work? have shortened force considerably, while at Pittsburg structural forms, plates, sheets and pipe are in light demand and some bar mills in the valley have shut down for want of orders. Higher prices are expected for ore and coke, and it is believed this will cause an upward turn in iron. Copper is much demoralized with large sales of lake at 10 1-2 cents, lead is lower at 3.27 1-2 and tin lower at 13.85 cents with increasing visible supply.
Wool has not advanced with London sales as was expected and 5,536,100 pounds have been sold, 2,303,700 foreign, against 5,479,300 in the same week of '92, of which 1,413*500 were foreign. The slow market for goods hinders dealings. In men's goods there is little business as yet, at about last year's prices in low grades, and the largest maker of clay worsteds has reduced prices to last year's since the opening. Business in cotton has not gained, and print cloths are lower at 3 1-8 cents, while a few more reductions are noted in prices of other goods. The manufacture has had a highly profitable season, though dull now.
Failures for the week have been 338 in the United States, against 349 last year, and 54 in Canada, against -'0 last year.

THE PEIZE WINNERS.
SOME NEW MEN IN THE FIFTYFOURTH CONGRESS.
There Are a Cowboy, a Poet, an Artist, a Salvation Officer, as Well as Carpenters and Journalists and Lawyers and Bankers Galore.
[Special Correspondence.!
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—In the Fiftyfourth congress are a cowboy, a poet, an artist and a Salvation Army officer. There are carpenters, farmers, merchants and journalists, but by far the largest proportion are lawyers, and amongtheso area surprisingly large number of corporation attorneys. Lawyers and bankers are decidedly in the lead, and this, in connection with the demand for legislation about the currency, is one of many reasons why I am confident tho session will be a very long one. v:
The journalist naturally turns first to those of his own profession, and if any among them have risen high through many years' good service he expects most of tlicm. But when a former occupant of this gallery conies back tho boys buzz around him like the stay at homo members of a family around a member who has gone west and come back rich, and the man who fills the bill in all these respects is Hon. William E. Barrett of the Seventh Massachusetts district. He is only 38 years old, yet he was for two years editorial writer on tho St. Albans (Vt.) Daily Messenger, then reporter for tho Boston Advertiser and long its Washington correspondent, then managing editor of Tho Advertiser and Tho Record and finally business manager and chief proprietor of both. Besides all these he is a graduate of Dartmouth college, has served six terms in the Massachusetts legislature, in five of which he was speaker, and succeeds tho scholarly but somewhat eccentric Dr. William Everett- in this house. It does not happen often that one of our fellows does so well, for the prizes are even fewer in proportion to the contestants with us than in other professions, so it. is but natural that we should tako big stock in advance in Mr. Barrett.
The veteran of the New England delegation is Hon. Nehemiah D. Sperry of New Haven, who was postmaster of that city for over a quarter of a century, has been secretary of state of Connecticut and is 68 years old. Our boys from that section say that they will put Mr. Sperry against any other man in tho country for unmixed Puritan blood, for his ancestors were among the first dissenters in England, and he is descended from that Richard Sperry who was prominent in the original New Haven colony and sheltered
the judges who had condemned Charles I. He has been teacher, builder, contractor, railroad man and postmaster, Whig and original Republican and proudly boasts of receiving his first commission as postmaster from Abraham Lincoln. He is not merely a passive but a most tenacious fighter. His battle for the Bible in the public schools of New Haven was a notable episode in the history of that city, and so we can judge protty well as to one source of tho strong support he received in the last combino, and that ho will 'oe a foremost figure in the committee on postoffices.
The capitol district is represented by another veteran, Hon. E. Stevens Henry, who is a farmer and breeder of thoroughbred stock and has had much experience in the Connecticut general assembly and minor offices. Still another member of wide experience from that state is Hon. E. J. Hill of the Fourth district, who is a very successful businessman and a great society man, being prominent in the Odd Fellows, Sons of the American Revolution and so forth. And all these aro liable to be stayers, as their districts aro fairly good Republican ground.
For some of the new men of tho west brilliant promises are made. Captain Thomas H. McKee of Logansport, Ind., whoso association with congressmen and recent candidacy for sergeant-at-arms ought to havo made him a judge, picks out Colonel Charles G. Burton of the Fifteenth Missouri as a stayer and the rising man of that delegation. "He is," says Captain McKco, "a remarkably strong man in every respect, with -great capabilities, and as a lawyer has that capacity for clearness of statement which is half the battle in law and probably more than half in congress." Tho man who beat Champ Clark is much inquired about, but so far has maintained a sort of incognito. As to "the man that beat Springer," he has ifeally had an extremely varied career. Hon. James Austin Connolly is a native ©f Now Jersey, 52 years old, a lawyer and a soldier with a very brilliant record. He has been a mombor of the Illinois legislature, United States district attorney, solicitor of the national treasury by appointment, which he declined, and again United States district attorney.
Hon. J. Frank Hanley of tho Ninth Indiana distriot is tho infant member and tho log cabin man. By all accounts ho had a tough time of it in youth, his father being an invalid and his mother blind. Ho sawed wood for a living until ho was old enough to teach school, then studied law, was elected to tho Indiana legislature as soon as old enough, and here he is. Hon. C. A. Sulloway of the First New Hampshire is tho Salvation Army captain, and ho looks it. Hon. Miles Crowley of the Tenth Texas is tho cowboy, but ho was born in Boston, has been boss stevedore and foreman and a member of tho house of representatives of Texas, and now eucceods Buck Kilgore, who kicked in the door of the house during tho Fifty-second congress. Hon. H. H. Atwood, Tenth Massachusetts, is artist and architect aud has had a groat deal of legislative experience for a man but 39 years old. Hon. i\. M. Hurley of Brooklyn is an Irishman, carpenter and building contractor and ftb-
I :l
BoJately new in legislature. Hon. W. M. Treloar of the Ninth Missouri is a teacher of music and was nominated against Champ Clark as a mere matter of form, but here he is. Hon. Frank S. Black,, Nineteenth Now York, began life as a farmhand, changed his profession a few times and is a successful lawyer, and finally Hon. Rowland Blennerhasset Mahany is charged with being a poet. He has also been minister to Ecuador for a short time. There are several other members about whom there is a deal of popular curiosity, and about none more than Colonel and Hon. George B. McClellan. As the son of the great general he is of interest to all Americans, and, in addition, he is the youngest man in this congress, having just reached 30, and is not only a successful business man, but represented to be peculiarly adroit in political management.
When the first members arrived, it was known to everybody that foreign affairs and the policy of the administration thereon would bo one of the first subjects of 'controversy, but with each fresh arrival the warmth of feeling is rapidly increased until it amounts, one might say, to a sort of ferocity. Nobody seems to havo any clear idea of what is to be done or why wo are to tight anybody, but tho old "d—n
England" feeling is evidently swelling up again. Hon. Samuel C. Hyde, who succeeds Senator John L. Wilson from tho First Washington district, has an ambition to bo chief of the jingoes and took tho pains to .send his views in advance tho form of a telegraphed interview. Here is part of it: "I believe this nation has a destiny which does not permit overlapping of this country by a large part uf tho British empire. War with Great Britain must come. When it does, British oflicos in North America will be no more. In ho language of John Bright, we shall havo a vast republic stretching from frozen oceans of the north to warm seas of the south. I would love to enlist as a private soldier again to prosecute that war." Fortunately for the peace of tlie world, Mr. Hyde is known to change his mind with great facility. As a youth he was a lumberman in Wisconsin and sorved two years in tho war for the Union. He is a lawyer and physically as big as his colleague, Mr. Doolittle. So Washington will havo the heaviest delegation in tho house.
ELLICOTT SQUARE.
J. H. BEADLE.
A WONDERFUL BUILDING.
Largest Office Structure In the World Now Being Erected In Buffalo. [Special Correspondence.!
BUFFALO, Dec. 2.—-Some idea of the strides which the art of building has taken in the past few years is to be obtained from the prospectus, just issued, of what is claimed to be tho largest office building in the world. This magnificent structure i-
known as Ellicott Square and is in the heart of the business center of Buffalo. It fronts on four streets—Main, Washington, Swan and South Division. The ground measurement is 240 by 200 feet, and it is now ten stories high, or 144 feet. The steel framework and foundations are of such substantial character that ten stories more may bo added, making a 20 story building 280 feet high. The cost of the building and site is to bo $3,350,000. Tho work was bogun on May 1, 1895, and the building is to bo complete on May 1, 1896. It is now being inclosed.
Tho building will contain on the ground floor 40 stores, on tho second floor space for 16 banks or counting rooms and on tho floors above 600 offices. It will contain 447,000 square feet of floor space, or over ten acres. The weight of the steel frame is 5,550 tons and of the firoproofing 12,000 tons. The building is fireproof throughout, even tho partitions being of hollow brick. The wood finish of the building is quarter sawed red oak.
The exterior is a light terra cotta and brick, resembling sandstone, and is elaborately modeled, resembling fine sculpture. Tho cornice of terra cotta projects five feet, and tho whole building is rich and stately. Tho architect is D. H. Burnham, the supervising architect of the World's fair.
In tho center of tho building is a beautiful court 70 by 110 feet, upon which many of the offices front. It will require 7,000 electric lights to light tho building, 1,524 steam radiators for heating purposes and about 17 miles of steam and gas pipe of various sizes. A refrigerating maohine will supply, ice water throughout tbe builds ing. Tho four great boilers have a capacity of 1,000 horsepower. There will be eight steam pumps for various purposes* The pumping capacity for the water supply will bo equal to that for a villago of 8,000 inhabitants. There will be 20 elevators, ono of which is for freight and the rest for passenger sorvico, and four elevators for receiving and discharging freight from tho sidewalks.
The building is to be highly ornamented throughout with fancy iron work, Italian marble and marblo mosaic. The floors of the corridors aro to bo of marblo mosaic and of tho oflicos hard maple imbedded in cement. Six thousand barrels of portland cement will be used in tho building.
About ono-third of tho space in tho building has been leased six months ahead of its completion. The Western Union Tolegraph company will occupy a largo 6paco on the tenth floor, where it will have tho largest telegraphic repeating station in tho world. The Ellicott club, comprising 600 of the leading business men of Buffalo, will occupy elegant and spacious quarters on the tenth floor. A law library of several thousand volumes will be placed on tho ninth floor for the uso of tenants of the building. It is expected that Ellicott Square will bo a business community of 4,000 to 5,000 people, and that 50,000 people will pass in and out its doors daily.
