INDUSTRIES OF COUNTRY ACTIVE Conditions Everywhere Improve According to Manufacturers' Journal.

TRADE SHOWS AN INCREASE MACHINERY MANUFACTURERS OP ALL KINDS REPORT EXCELLENT BUSINESS THREE THOUSAND SOUND OPTIMISTIC NOTE. New York, Oct 19. That the country's Industries are slowly but surely recovering from the effect of the depression of some months ago, and also that immediate prospects are more than reassuring, is the conclusion reached by American Industries, a semi-monthly publication of the National Association of Manufacturers, after classifying the thousand letters received during the last two -weeks, in response to a circular inquiry. Four questions were asked every one of the 3,000 members of the association, whose factories are situated in all states of the Union, and the responses of one-third of the members, divided into various trade classifications, occupy more than thirty pages of the current Issue of the magazine, bearing the date of Oct. 17. The letter sent out by ft magazine follows:, Gentlemen We believe from all reports that trade conditions continue to Improve throughout the country. Will you not assist us in confirming the general , reports by giving us a statement of conditions in your particular industry, based upon the experience of your concern? Will you kindly send us at your earliest convenience a reply to the following questions: Present conditions of your trade. Percentage of Increase In business (if any) over first part of present year. Trado possibilities in your particular industry for the coming year. Any brief suggestions which may help in promoting general prosperity. We urgently suggest that you oblige ua with this brief statement giving your opinion on the speedy return of prosperity, especially in connection with your particular trade. Iron Trade Increases. - Taking the steel trade and the movement of pig iron as the most reliable barometer of trade conditions, the digest of the replies from the industries devoted to the production of iron and steel is found to show that 70 per cent of the plants In the mem-j bershlp of the association report conditions "good," 78 per cent have had an increase of business during the last ten months and 85 per cent have reason to believe that prospects for an immediate future are reassuring. "Machinery," says the editor, "by which is meant all classes of machinery in all parts of the country, shows present conditions 68 per cent good, and that 76 per cent of the members dealing in machinery have had an increase !n their trade since Jan. 1 and 68 per cent believe in future improvement" Every member of the association engaged in the manufacture of agricultural implements who replied to the circular, reported good present conditions and an increase of trade during the last ten months and only one sounded a pessimistic note in connection with future possibilities. Seventy-seven per cent of the replies from manufacturers of tools and hardware .show that trade conditions are good.' Eighty-seven per cent telt of an Increase during thejast ten months and 92 per cent believe possibilities for continued increase are good. Food products rang next to agricultural implements in degree of prosperity. Eighty-nine per cent of the replies from members engaged in this branch report trade in a prosperous condition, 95 per cent of the replies report an increase during the last ten months, .and all believe the coming year will show an increase in their business. Leather Third Highest. According to the table, leather and its manufactures follow agricultural implements and food products; lumber and its manufactures come fourth; tools and hardware, fifth; drugs and chemicals, sixth; paper and printing, seventh; machinery, eighth; iron and steel, ninth; textiles, tenth and vehic les the lowest. As to vehicles, in this classification automobiles and fine carriage manu facturing luxuries to a considerable extent the percentage shows favorable trade conditions. But 85 per cent of the answers from vehicle manufac turers are optimistic enough to be lieve the prospects are good. Some of the concerns replying to the circular letter contented themselves with simply replying briefly to the queries propounded, others enter ed heartily Into a discussion of trade conditions affecting their individual industries and the mass of information the association believes will prove valuable reading for the mem bers of the organization. A canning company of Indianapolis writes: "Our trade is In splendid condition. but there Is a tendency on the part or the jobbers to buy small quantities frequently. We have manufactured and sold so far this year 15 per cent greater volume than for the same period last year. Of the jobbing trade we would say their volume has been -materially reduced because they have reduced their lines of credit to many of their costumers. It they want more buaiaesa ratora th old Tait"

lie CURTAILMENT FOR NINE YEARS New Chinese Constitution Go Into Effect Gradually. to SHOWS JAPANESE HAND. PATTERNED ON SIMILAR LINES TO CONSTITUTION OF BROWN MEN DOCUMENT HIGHLY INTERESTING. Peking, Oct. 19. The constitution, under which it is planned to lead China from her present form of despotic government to a parliamentary system ot administration, is a remarkable and highly interesting document. It was promulgated In this city on August 17 of this year, and is of great length. Broadly speaking the document follows the constitution of Japan. Some of its most striking features are: "We look to our empress dowager and emperor and see that they take the measure of heaven and earth as their measure and the heart of the people as their heart. The officials and people within the wide seas are reverently grateful. The establishment of constitutional government in China has been by the imperial will. It must be carefully prepared, for the beginning and the end must both be carefully planned; there must be no empty verbiage without real substance. "The sovereign has absolute power, which he exercises in constitutional forms. As to Parliament. "In regard to the preparation to be made for opening parliament, it is like building a house workmen and material must be gathered. The house may then be planned and worked out. The work must be watched day and night without intermission." The framers of the constitution are apprehensive and beg "that urgent measures may be taken to overcome half-heartedness and procrastination that there may be peace and completion." "We havo therefore laid down the general principles of the constitution and the program for the work of getting everything in readiness in nine years. These may not be changed in the least particular." Duties of Officials. It is set forth that on the dissolution of parliament the people shall be called on to elect a new parliament. "Mercy is from above," the document goes on, "officials below may not arrogate it to themselves." "Members of parliament shall not speak disrespectfully of the court rar slander others. Violation of this law will be punished." The nine-year program is the outlined, starting with local self-government and the revision of the criminal code, and giving for each year some reform, gradually establishing constitutional government. About Your Dishes. Dishwashing, and the cleansing of the articles you eat with, demand a perfectly pure soap. No one likes even to think of the impure fats and raw rosin of common soaps, coming in contact with the dishes, glassware and the knives and forks. Better be on the safe side and use Zasy Task soap. Everyone knows that's pure, and it only costs five cents a cake. Your grocer has it. The Twilight Of Life. The muscles ot tha stomach .a old see are not s strong- or active as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have a bowel movement without artificial aid. Macy. also, hava unpleasant eructations of gas from the stomach after eating. All this can be avoided by thw nse of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which permanently regulates the bowels so that passages come naturally, and so strengthens the stomach that food is digested without discomfort.

Court Sifts Society That Was First Aid to Stork

Chicago, Oct. 19. Had the House" and Fireside Protective league carried out the plans it said it would when it went into the business of promoting large families, it would have been a great thing for the members pocketbooks. But the league had trouble, and members say the officers didn't keep their promises. Miss A. C. Jacobs, who was "medical referee" for the league was arrested, charged 'with defrauding Mrs. Marie Stolzenau, 1865 Arlington place, out of $500 by selling her some shares of alleged worthless stock in the company. This made business v bad. Miss Jacobs' trial began before Judge Geramill in the municipal court. The purpose of the (jjeague was to encourage large families. Its members were to get prizes for new babies born and marriages among single members. Here is the way the prizes were to be given out: Five hundred dollars for a person who married after one year's membership. HE SLAYS PARAMOUR Nebraska Millionaire Then Kills Self After Sending News to Brother. WRECKS WOMAN'S HOME. Omaha. Neb., Oct. 19. "Notify my brother that something terrible is going to happen in a few minutes." telephoned Sewell Sleuman, a millionaire grain dealer, to his clerk, just at midnight, Saturday. An hour later Sleuman was found lying dea"d across the feet of Eva Hart, with whom he was infatuated and who was also dead. Each had a bullet hole in the right temple and the revolver was still in Sleuman's hand. Sleuman was one of the best known grain men in the west. He was 50 years old and had a wife and family, from which he has been separated several months, had been living with the Hart woman, who was 24 years of age. Miss Hart lived with her brother in a home said to have been furnished by Sleuman. In the room lay Miss Hart and Sleuman dead.' On a table was a note saying that Miss Hart had turned him down and he did not care, to live without her. "She is almost gone now, and I will finish the job as soon as she is dead," said the note. Sleuman had evidently shot the woman and while waiting for her to die had wrecked the interior of the house, after which he killed himself. After telephoning to his clerk, Sleuman cut the wires of the telephone in order that he might not be disturbed in his bloody work. It is learned that Miss Hart had announced her intention to break her relations with Sleuman and leave the city to lead a better life. This decision is supposed to have brought on the tragedy. Sleuman's wife is an invalid and, together with his three children, lives in Hastings, Nebraska. DROPS DEAD OVER -GRAVE OF SON Indianapolis Woman Partially Trimmed Grave. Indianapolis, Oct. 19.
