Even Into a coroner's duties there are times when gleams of humor penetrate the gloom, although they be as sepulchural and as gruesome as the wit Indulged In by the two fjra-vedisfjers In "Hamlet." Coroner Leland tells the following story which occurred at the morgue a few weeks ago. The body of a woman had been lound in a lodging houe, where she had committed suicide by Inhaling ga. The only thing that rolnted to the identity of the woman was that her name was Jones. Thid was made public by the newspapers. The next day two stylishly dressed women came to the morgue and asked that they be allowed

to wee the body, one of the ladies further

staling that her Mster-ln-law was named

Jones, and that for certain reasons that

she did not care to make known feared

the suicide was her relative. They looked

at the Doily, but they could not Identify It. As the ladles were goins away the one who proffered the last bit of information said:

"Oh. I am so disappointed. I was so sure

it was .Mary : Thoughtful Little Maid. "Washington Fost.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,

Jan. 1. Cattle Receipts, S50; shipments, suu.

There is a good increase to report in the

marketing of cattle, the total thus far this week being 1,550 larger than the same time last week and over 1,200 larger than

the corresponding time a year ago. The different grades were fairly represented, but as uual for some times past there was quite a scarcity of choice kinds in their class. The market opened with a good demand from practically all buyer?, but competition was strongest in the steer line from outside sources and the result was an active market at strong but not quotably higher prices than yesterday. Female cattle also sold fully up to the high

est prices recently and the supply of all kinds was exhausted In good season at current prices. There were no top export cattle represented, but 1,207 to 1,300-lb steers sold at $5.G0tl.50, with 1,131-lb yearlings at $'5.10 and S0 to 1,144-1 b cattle sold at $4.eOfj5.50. Other sales, Including odd

bunche3 and stockers, ranged from $3.G0ti 4.50. Quotations: Good to choice steers, 1,350 lbs and

Combined receipts of hogs for three days indicate an Increase of 2,500 over the same time last week and about 3,000 over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were some smaller than a year ago. With quite a falling off In the receipts tne market opened with salesmen asking at least steady prices, and notwithstanding shippers were not as much in evidence as yesterday, conditions were rather favorable to the seller on account of the better demand from packers. There was some protest against paying steady prices at the start, but finally, with reasonably good competition between all buyers, the offerings were changing hands promptly enough, and sales indicated that there was very little change in prices compared with yesterday. It is possible, however, on account

of the lessened competition that the good.

heavy hogs made a shade lower average. The supply was equal to the demand and the market closed quiet at opening prices. Sales ranged from $5.35 to $6.65. Quotations:

Thus far this week the marketing of sheep and lambs shows a gain of OX) compared with the same time last week, and about loo compared with the corresponding time a year ago. The market opened with a steady demand from all buyers, and the supply was exhausted early at fully steady prices, compared with yesterday. On account of the absence of fancy stock there were no extreme sales reported, but a good healthy condition prevailed in the market, and no doubt top kinds would have sold at top quotations. Lambs sold at $55.35 and sheep at $3.2513.35. Quotations: Good to choice lambs $4.75'35.50

for the auction sale of the Blair-Baker Horse Company, and the receipts included comparatively few high class horses, shippers presumably holding back that kind for the special sale the latter part of this month. The quality, however, compared favorably with the average represented during the dull season. There was a good attendance of buyers from all sources and an active demand, but the supply was ample and competition would not permit of any advance in prices. On a basis of steady prices the offerings changed hands promptly and a good clearance was made. The good chunks and heavy horses sold from $1004T15o, and common to extra drivers from VoOt 175. Among the shippers to the market were Andy Schicketanz, of this city; N. B. Lee, Casey, 111.; J. W. Rooker, Zionsvlile; John G. Clark, Westfield; Reed Fray. Attica; John K.

Trees lty the Ilonlalle. To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: A great deal Is bein? printed nowadays in the agricultural and other weekly and monthly papers advocating the planting of fruit trees by the roadsides, and the claim Is made that the fruit therefrom Is a source of gratification and benefit to the farmer, and to the passer-by, who may freely help himself. The shade furnished by the trees Is also made an item. It may be different in other counties, but In Jennings neither fruit nor shade count3 for anything. For years I have known apple trees growing by the side of the road leading from this place to Sciplo. On either Eide of the way the rows stretched for a mile or two, hundreds of trees. From their earliest planting they never did well, and were at most scraggy, broken bushes, bearing no fruit and giving no shade. For years I was a frequent user of this road, and never j-et have I been able to pick an apple fit to cat, nor ever saw a smooth, pretty ono coming from any of the trees. They were set Inside the fencs row. and too close to the road to permit of cultivation. And it was never thought vorth while to prune or care for them in any other waj This instance la not the only one within my knowledge. There are others. I believe In the culture of fruit, and that if it Is worth while to plant trees it In Just as much worth while to care for thern. In fact, like corn and other crops, fruit must have cultivation. My plan would be to plant orchards, large ones, near the roads, make them yield by proper attention, and allow the traveler along the highway the privilege of refreshing himself with the fruit, and every farmer should be larce-

hearted enough to grant this favor provided the traveler be not a hog and carry away the fruit in sacks", fnjure the trees or fences. Hows of fruit trees thus situated would indeed be a pleasure to all cono-rnel. There would be enough fruit for farmer and traveler. Hut always the trees should be far enough from the roadway to permit of proper cultivation. For roadside shade nothing Is better than sugar maples. They are hard to start, from the nature of circumstances being taken out of deep shades and transplanted into the open where the sun shines its fiercest in summer, and the frost and winds do tneir worst In winter. Some will die. At once they should be replaced. They are of slow growth, but at ten or twelve years after planting no tree is more beautiful in its foliage and form, in summer the leaves being of the deepest green, in fall showing all the colors of the rainbow. The trees are strong, the limbs being seldom broken by snows or winds. Let the sugars grow by the wayside, the apples in the fields. North Vernon, Dec. 31. W.

RATIO OF DEFAULTS TO EXCHANGES TIIUOL'GII THE DANKS.

Remarkable Showing: Made in the Failure) Record, Doth Here and in Canada London Dank Clearings.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. Reports to R. G. Dun & Co. show that failures for the year 1S01 were 11.002 in number, and 1113.032,376 in amount of liabilities, while on banking and other fiduciary institutions there were 74 insolvencies, involving J18.01S.774, a total of 11,075 defaults and J131.lll.150 of liabilities. These figures compare very favorably with the 10,833 failures In 1900 arid liabilities of $174,113,236, of which 59 were banks, for $35,617,563. Manufacturing disasters In 1301 numbered 2,441, with an Indebtedness of 541,0,9S3, compared with 2,409 In the previous year, owing 551,702,142, while there were 7,905 suspensions of traders for $52,0G0,&4X), against 7,544 In 1900 with liabilities of ü9.413,5ü2. The defaulted liabilities were D6 cents to each $1,000 of bank exchanges. A ratio to the number of firms in business shows that the entire amount of defaulted Indebtedness averaged 104.33 for each concern. This amount compares with 5119.63 in llxjO. while going back to 1S&3 the average was JJO.CS. In many ways the prosperous conditions in the United States were shared across tho northern border, for commercial failures in the Dominion of Canada were fewer in number and smaller in amount of liabilities than in five of the preceding seven years. As to banking insolvencies the statement was even more favorable, no one of the earlier years making as good an exhibit. All commercial defaults numbered 1.341. with liabilities of 110,311,671, which compares with 1.355 in ISM) owing $11,613,201 In manufacturing there were 2S9 failures for $3,55,0i5, against 30S In the previous year with liabilities of 3,201,6ä Trading failures numbered 1,029, with a total indebtedness of $6,S45,329, compared with. 1,010 in the previous year for $7,252,340. , German Exports to America.

Rnnlncss AffnlrM lu Germany as Vlevred by Reich sbnnks President. BERLIN, Jan. 1. President Koch, of the Reichsbank, is of the opinion that the business situation in Germanw really has taken a turn for the better and believes the new year opens with somewhat better prospects. In an interview he Bays: "The worst appears to be past. This is not merely my personal impression. The statement is based on reports I have received from the various parts of Germany where an improvement of the situation has begun. 1 must admit that coal and iron do not show Improvement. In Silesia, the Rhineland and Westphalia ?t appears that business cannot improve. The overproduction doubtless has been too great. When the times promised so much the viorks hastened to secure material and went too far. I have read of some failures, but these do not compare in numbers or importance with those of last summer." London llnnk Clearings. LONDON, Jan. 1. The annual clearinghouse statement shows that the clearances of 1901 reached the unprecedented total of 9,561.169,000, an Increase of 000,999,000 over 1900 and 410,&00K.K) over 1S99, hitherto the record year. The largest amount cleared in a single day was ,109,143,0"J0. on May 15, and the smallest amount was lS,76u,W), on Sept. 10. The Stock Exchange settling days' totals for the year aggregate 1, 582,624,000, being 213,053,000 over 19o0 and 38,329,000 over 1S99, the previous record.

SHOOK 8,100 HANDS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST TAGE.) retary ot agriculture and Miss Wilson and Secretary and Mrs. Cortelyou. The presidential party took up their station in the Hlue parlor, with the President and Mrs. Roosevelt immediately alongside the entrance, ready to grasp the hands of callers as they were announced. The Cabinet ladles formed a long line extending from Mrs. Roosevelt to tbe further side of the room, while back of the receiving line were grouped the members of the Cabinet and a gay party of young people. As soon as the President took his position, he turned to the many ladles invited behind the line and gave each of them a warm greeting and the well wishes of the day. Then the signal was given for admitting the distinguished olliclal callers who, by this time, filled the outer corridors. As dean of the diplomatic corps, the British ambassador. Lord I'aunccfote, is usually the first of the foreign callers to greet the President. To-day, however, he was absent from tho line, having conveyed his private greetings to the President, and the head of the line was taken by Lady Pauncefoto and the Misses Pauncefote and the many military, naval and civil members of the British establishment, all of the officials in full uniform. The French ambassador, M. Cambon, with all the members of the embassy staff, was next in line. The ambassador had hurried from Paris In order to pay his New Year's respeots to the President. He looked hale and hearty after his six months in Europe. Then came the German ambassador. Dr. Von Uelleben, accompanied by a retinue of dashing young officers of the German army and navy, some of them in the red uniforms of Hussars, others in the white uniform of the Kaiser's personal escort, and still others with tho sweeping plumes and chaneaus of the quarterdeck. The Russian ambassador. Count Cassini, the Italian ambassador, Slgnor Mayor, and the Mexican ambassador, Senor Azpiroz, were similarly accompanied by large official staffs. Following the ambassadors came the ministers of Austria-Hungary, Switzerland, Japan, China, Brazil. Argentine. Turkey, Belgium, Slam and many other countries. MR. AND MRS. ROOSEVELT GRACIOUS. President Roosevelt's, manner of receiving callers was exceedingly gracious and happy. As each guest was announced by Colonel Bingham the President grasped the hand of the visitor and wished him & hearty New Year, often accompanying this with some felicitous expression to any one recognized as a close friend. There was no hurrying along of the callers, and often there was con.-iderr.ble delay while pleasantries were exchanged. Mrs. Roosevelt proved to be a most, charming New Year's host and the cordiality of her greetings reminded many of xhe callers of the days when Mrs. Cleveland was mistress of the White House. After the members of the diplomatic corps came Chief Justice Fuller and the associate Justices cf the Supreme Court, and following them the Judges of all the higher federal courts in Washington, representing, as a whole, the Judicial branch of the government. Next came the legisla-

among these. There was another flash of gold lace clank of saber and spurs when, at 11:40, highest ranking officers of the army navy were received. Side by side, at head of the army contingent strode

stalwart well-known figures, Lieut.

senators and representativt s Speaker Hendtrson was

and the and the

the Gen.

Nelson A. Miles, commanding tne army, and MaJ. Gen. Henry C. Corbin, adjutant general. General Miles was in full uniform with heavily gold embroidered cap and wide gold scarf across his breast from shoulder to hip. Following him came the many officers of his staff, and the heads of the army staffs stationed in Washington. In view of recent events expectation was on tiptoe as General Miles appeared before the President, but the curious were not rewarded with anything unusual. The President greeted General Miles with the same hearty courtesy be had. shown to others, and General Miles returned the salutation in the same spirit, and then passed smiling along the line, exchanging well wishes with the ladies. Admiral Dewey was another of the distinguished callers to engage the attention of the crowds. He was at the head of the long line of naval officers, all in full uniform and including the ranking rear admirals and heads of the naval staff departments. The admiral wore the superb sword voted to him by Congress for the victory of Manila, and on his breast was the congressional medal commemorating that event. He, too, was most, cordially welcomed by the President. The officers of the Marine "Corps, with Brigadier General Haywood at their head, followed the navy. After them came officials of many official branches, namely, the regents of the Smithsonian Institution, the commissioner of fisheries, the civil-service commission, the Interstate-commerce Commission, the commissioner of labor, assistant secretaries of departments, the solicitor general, the treasurer of the United States, the commissioner of pensions, commissioner of patents, the controller of the currency, the associated veterans of the war of 1S4G-47, the Grand Army of the Republic, the military order of the Loyal Legion, the Union Veteran Legion, Union Veterans' Union and Spanish war veterans. THE PUBLIC ADMITTED. At 12:30 the reception to the public began and great crowds accepted this first opportunity to grasp the hand of the President. At that hour the crowd at the outer gate stretched away in both directions for several blocks. All stations, colors, creeds, sexes and ages were represented In the

motley throng which President. The latter his cordiality and all

cheery greeting. For

more than an hour

this human stream flowed past the Presl

dent. At one time there was a brief intermission to permit some of the ladies to withdraw for their private receptions. The President embraced this opportunity to limber up his right hand, which began to show the effects of continued handshakes. As tne last of the callers filed by the President took Mrs. Roosevelt on his arm and, amid the strains of a quickstep by the Marine Band the President and Cabinet party withdrew to the private quarters of the mansion. Although several thousand people had grasped the hand of the President he showed little fatigue and Mrs. Roosevelt also underwent the physical strain without apparent discomfort. It was stated by the White House attendants that S.10O people passed before the receiving party, being 4,400 more than received by President McKinley last year. Veteran officials regarded it as one of the largest and most successful receptions ever held. Following the reception at the White House, the principal social events of the day were the receptions of the Cabinet officers. Secretary Hay, following the usual practice, entertained the entire diplomatic body at noon. The lower floor of his handsome Sixteenth-street home was thrown into a general reception room and after paying their respects to the chie.f magistrate, the members of the diplomatic corps, with tneir ladies, crossed Lafayette square to the home of the secretary, where they were entertained at breakfast. Other Cabinet homes open to callers were those of Secretary Root, Attorney General Knox, Secretary Hitchcock, Secretary Long and Secretary Wilson. Mrs. Fuller, wife of Chief Justice Fuller, and Mrs. Miles also received. The government departments and most of the stores were closed and the day generally was observed as a holiday. Although there was no general receptkm by the members of the diplomatic corps, some of them kept open house and entertained a large number of callers. Particularly was this the case with the legations from the Orient, the Chinese, Japanese and the Korean ministers being "at home" to those who came. The Chinese New Year does not occur until about a month from now, but Mr. Wu, following the practice of the country in which he 13 stationed, participated in the festivities of New Year's day and, assisted by the members of his suite, received many callers at the handsome home of the legation on Q street. Minister Wu always gives his friends a cup of tea and many of them enjoyed his hospitality to-day. Minister Takabira, of the Japanese legation, and his wife celebrated New Year's day as they would, at home, where the European calendar is used and where the New Year is the greatest event of the season. The members of tho legation joined

in tne festivities. At the Korean legation New was observed much the same country. A dinner was given ing and was attended only by thero being no women among hold.

Prices Rising, with Indications for a Lively Room. New York Letter in Philadelphia Press. An expert appraiser of real estate property of New York says that the value of the real estate in this city greater than that of any other city in the world. Whether this be true or not, it is certain that we are entering into an era of speculative and investment development of real estates unmatched in the history of New York, excepting po.ibly for a few years after the opening of the Erie Canal. Yesterday there was consummated a single transaction Involving the payment of SI.00u.(O for property which ten years ago would have been regarded as cheap at Jl,cw,U"). It is a piece of land near the sources of the old Minetta creek. The springs which fed that little stream, once the most Important on Manhattan island, King yet living springs gave the constructors of one of the great department stores serious trouble when the foundation was be lng laid. It required all of the skill and learning of hydrostatic engineers to conquer these springs so as not to imperil the massive foundations. A block away a building was erected

Kind, of SLrvi'J. lor whlcn an orter was

made and declined recently of Jl.rj.0u0.

One of the realty corporations, the

first one of these promoting' companies

to be organized In New York, is Just now

putting the nnlshlng touches upon a

prcat department store within a stone's

throw of the plot sold yesterday for 51. Ouij.uou. This building with the land repre

sents an investment or ?i,XJ,vj. Hie proprietor of tho department store has hnj

no other anxiety or tKJtlicr tnan tnat entailed in finir.c his checks. The realty corporation undertook to build tho struc

ture, to finance it. that la to ?ay, to pro

vide the realy money with which labor and structural material were to b raid. and to turn it over to the proprietor within a given time, rc-celvinir In payment there

for a commission upon tho entire cost.

In that vicinity two other very larce department stores, representing in the) tKKrcgate an lnveMmtnt of marly

(i.Kt, have been erected.

The Increase In the value of property thereabout or within the radius of a rlrclo

of which a pistol fhot would be the diame

ter has been as much as JT-AnO. within the past six years. And yet it was In this very district that the most Litter of tha complaints were heard when tho elevateil

railroad built r.ne of its lines through the

main avenue? that bisects this district.

Farther uptown, in the vicinity of trail

square ami Imtracre fjuare, which are squares only in name, being in fact trler.file?. tho appreciation In property anl the t xciteinent amonjr owners, speculator and investors in real estate are comparable

to tho?o hilarious and wildly bcwllucrirj?

cays in the btock hxrhancc whn there li a great gold market and everybody Is mak

ir.S money, m fart, the attention of mar.r

capitalists, as well as speculators, ha been recently diverted from the Stock Kxchanro

to the mart where real estate Is dealt in.

and it is the judgment of Fhrewd observers

that all of New York, but especially the

upper part of Manhattan Island, la for th next two or three years to be dominated

by real estate nthusiasm.

To doubt this excitement Is due In part

to some of the romantic and fascinating torles of quick fortunes that have recently be n made by men who until recently wre in receipt of only moderate stipend. They are telling of two j-ouri? men who two or three years ago were clerks in downtown ofMces. who began In real estate deallr. with no more capital than plenty of assurance, quick wit. some experience anl a few hundred dollars, and they ray that upon "one transaction alone these youngsters made a few weeks atro. Jlj,fo, and that In another year In which they Invested exactly J1,.".j they camo out jiV-0 ah --ad. The promoters who handled the Orphan Asylum property, upon Mhlch they secured an option a year nno, after paying a small sum for the privilege, recently disposed of that property for li.A, turned over fl,a!.oj to the Orphan Asylum people and had besides two or three of the lets. whih are, as the speculators say, clear velvet for them. The Pennsylvania Railroad rroject h had precisely the effect ujKin the region skirtlnsj the proposed tunnel which the discovery of goM or some ether valuable metal In that vicinity would have creatd. It may be. therefore, that In the year LU the distinctive feature of speculative activity In New York is to te that associated with the promotion of real property.
