The Clever Artist.

Not infrequently «fas in arrears for tte rent of even bls airy perch on the “sixleme/’ynd landlords have scant sympathy for beings who can “soar to'the empyrean,” but can’t pay cash. One young man, six months In arrears, knew that his landlord was keeping a watchful eye on his trunk, which stood opposite the door, feeling sure that while it was there the owner would not depart. Our artist painted a of his trunk on the wall opposite the door, and in the night took himself and his belongings quietly away; ho? was he missed for several 'days. Good work sometimes serves very Inartistic ends.—Catholic World.

Can Our Coast Be Blockaded?

If confidence can be felt in the opinion of military and naval officers at the seat of Government, such is the extent of our sea coast that to blockade it effectually seems impossible. When a blockade of the bowels exists, relieve it with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which also cures indigestion, malaria, rheumatism and kidney trouble.

Among the many expenses borne by railroad companies the ice bill figures quite prominently. For instance, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad it is expected it will take over 50,000 tons of ice this year to meet the requirements of the service. The greater portion is used in connection with shipment of perishable goods, the balance in the passenger train service. A great deal of this ice is put up by the company in its own ice houses, but as the past winter has been so warm, a very large proportion will have to be purchased. The real difference between men is energy. A strong will, a settled purpose, an invincible determination, can accomplish almost anything; and in this lies the distinction between great men and little men.—Fuller.

LEITER DEAL FAILS.

END OF THE GREAT WHEAT | / CAMPAIGN. Daring Speculator Stayed in Too Long and la Forced to Liquidate-Big Demand for Margins Swamp Him—History of the Famous Deal. Panic in the Pit. Chicago special: Joseph Leiter, whose gigantic operations in wheat have made his name famous throughout the commercial world, and whose winnings in the pit have been estimated at $5,000,000 in assured profits, has in all probability met with reverses which will fall little short of a Waterloo. Leiter’s famous wheat deal ended Monday most unexpectedly in a complete collapse. His futures were sold out in Chicago and Minneapolis at a loss,and his cash wheat turned over to the banks as trustees. It was rumored that he was embarrassed, and he did not deny it, but said it was only temporary, he hoped. Prices in the Northwest were panicky, dropping 22 to 23 cents. In Chicago there was great excitement, with declines of 11 cents on June and July and 4% cents on September. In about a month declines have been as’striking aS were the advances early in May. The top prices in the leading markets, compared with the low point Monday, made an important showing, as follows: Chicago f 1.85 $ .85 New York 1.91 .81% Minneapolis 1.60 .88% Duluth 1.80 .90 St. Louis 1.40 .71 Liverpool 1.64 1.22 The effect on the market when the news of the collapse came was that June wheat fell off 10 cents, July 11 cents, September 2% cents and December 3% cents. ▲

JOSEPH LEITER.

rally followed the decline on the announcement that no assignment would take place and that the cash wheat would not be slaughtered. Leiter's great grain deal, beginning April 2. 1897, has totally collapsed. He has surrendered to his creditors 16,000,000 bushels of wheat. His estimated loss is $5,000,000. On wheat owned May 31 Mr. Leiter might have realized a profit of $4,500,000. Since then the market has declined, and, financial support which he had hitherto received being Withdrawn, he retired on the best terms possible. His creditors are financial institutions in Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis, Duluth and New York City. These concerns lent money on his wheat at 80 cents or less a bushel. They are amply protected. Accurate figures as to Mr. Leiter's holdings when he decided to liquidate are difficult to secure. The best estimates indicate that he has 12,000.000 bushels of wheat in Duluth and Minneapolis, 2.000,000 bushels on route to Europe. 2,000,090 bushels in or en route to New York. Mr. Leiter will not make an assignment, and court proceedings for the settlement bf his grain account will not be necessary. • Greatest Deal in History. In the history of grain speculation from the days of the Romans to the plunging of Keene in New York no speculative handling of a cereal has attracted so much attention from press and public as the transactions of Joseph Leiter. In the market for nearly four months before the public was aware that he was a trader, Mr. Leiter finally avowed his connection with the enormous cash grain purchases of certain commission houses. April 2, 1897, Broker French entered the arena with instructions from Col. Leiter to buy 100,000 bushels of May wheat nt 70% cents. The representative of the great operator filled the order. Just as fast as the market declined the Leiter orders made their appearance. The cheapest batch of wheat that loiter bought was a lot at 64% cents—soo,ooo bushels— June 18, 1897. This was for September delivery. Some saw in these transactions the beginning of an era in the history of the local Board of Trade. They were right. The deal carried the price of wheat from 64% cents in June, 1897, to $1.85 in May of this year. At one time an interest of $35,000,000 was involved. Over 25,000,000 bushels of .cash wheat is said to have been merchandised. Leiter's grasp of affairs and his hand on the wheel of progress, the brokers executed these immense orders, running as high as 1,000,000 bushels. They bought for cash, sold for cash and accepted the consequent profit or loss stoically. In sharp contrast to all previous great deals on the Chicago market Mr. Leiter met the varying emergencies of a year with cash until Monday morning. His failure to do so then is attributed to a number of causes, most prominent of which is the statement that after a careful review of the situation L. Z. Leiter deemed it advisable that his son should liquidate, so advised, and the advice was accepted.

ALWAYS WEAK ON THE SEA.

Spain Has Never Shown Much Capacity in the Arts of Naval Warfare. Spain Is not and never was a seafigbting power. She has won no naval victory since the battle of Lepanto three centuries and a quarter ago, and that was won largely by Venetian crews. Even whep her power and wealth seemed irresistible, when her military reputation was at Its height, when the world was strewn with her territories and the ocean laden with her argosies and fleets, her real naval power was utterly incommensurate with the astonishing pretensions which it made. As soon as England and Holland laid a finger on it her maritime empire crumbled Into dust. The armada only revealed a fact which English sailors had long suspected, and the consciousness of which explains Drake’s sublime contempt for the menaces of Spain—the fact that, even at the zenith of their fame, the Spaniards had no mastery of the arts by which the sea is held, says the Minneapolis Times. Since Lepanto Spain has on the ocean fought England, Holland, Italy, some of the various combinations of the German states and nearly every other cimntry of Europe, small and great, and most of the nations of Central and South America, but she has won no battle which has had the faintest effect toward bettering her own fortunes, or which has altered in the slightest degree the general current of history. For more than 300 years Spain’s conduct In its naval wars has been below contempt. In the battle of Trafalgar In 1805, the last of the more important battles In which Spain has participated, Nelson made short work of the Spanish fleet, the only serious resistance offered to him in the battle being by Spain’s French allies. To-day her gunners and engineers are confessedly the worst in Europe. It would be little short of a miracle if It should turn out that within the last two decades Spain had bred a race of seamen capable of reversing the unvarying misfortunes of the past.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

From the Free Preet, Letroit, Mich. A prominent business man recently expressed the opinion that there is one thing will prevent women from completely filling man’s place in the business world—they can't be depended upon because they are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs. C. W. Mansfield, a business woman of 58 Farrar street, Detroit, Mich., who says: “A complication of female ailments kept me awake nights and wore me out. I could get no relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me. A young lady in my employ gave me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I took them and was able to rest at night for the first time in months. I bought more and took them, and they cured me as they also cural several other people to my knowledge, rethink that if you should ask any of the druggists of Detroit who are the best buyers of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, they would say the young women. These pills certainly build up the nervous system and many a young woman owes her life to them. “As a business woman I

general good health to-day.” No discovery of modern times has done so much to enable women to take their proper place in life by safeguarding their health as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functions, they restore the strength and health to the exhausted woman when every effort of the physician proves unavailing. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia, and other diseases long supposed incurable, these pills hare proved their efficacy in thousands of cases.

Public Documents.

All public documents are sold by the British Government; nothing is given away. If you want a copy of n bIA or report you must buy It from the official printers, and you have to pay postage if it is sent through the mails. In our country nearly all official documents of this kind are given away, and are sent free through the mails under a frank. The British plan seems to 'be the more sensible. It saves millions of doUars every year that are wanted in the United States to furnish public documents to people who do not care anything for them, and who throw them into the waste-paper basket as soon as they are received.
