Wi» which he consid«ers lire crowning event of his wonderful career, and which is embodied ia a new article of commerce, known as l'ed Cross Starch (Red Cross trade mark.) He is planning to distribute millions of packages of this starch to the housewives of America, at a merely nominal price to the consumer, in order to make its merits known without de­ lay. Thus, for but 5 cents two large lQc packages of Bed Cross Starch may be had, together with two magnificent Shakespearean views printed in 12 beautiful colors, or a Twentieth Cen­ tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20 cents 10 packaged of the starch and the entire series of eight Shakespearean views and one Twentieth Century Girl Calendar--views alone easily worth $1.00. Watch this paper for future premium announcements, of which every lady will certainly want to take advantage. While Mr. Hubinger will devote his best energies to the manufacture of this new and wonderful starch, he will not retire from the various financial enterprises in which he is interested-- street railways, electric lighting plants and the Missisisppi Valley Telephone Co., with 10,000 telephone subscribers in Minneapolis and St. Paul--nor will his augmented activity interfere with his social obligations and exercise of the splendid hospitality which he dis­ penses at his palatial Keokuk home. Mr. Hubinger's family, consisting of himself, wife and four children, is the pivot around which his activity re­ volves, and while fond of promoting great enterprises,t he still fonder of his home circle, where he spends every moment of time not taken up by busi- B0»s-»r public cares. ^ -; ; ^ • Vf ;'- ; The NomnrlU ,1*^; i There is a tree in Persia to wntcn the name *'The Sorrowful Tree" is given. Perhaps because it blooms only in the evening. When the first star apepars in the heavens, the first bud of the Sorrowful Tree opens, and as the shades of night advance and the stars thickly stud the sky, the buds continue gradually open­ ing until the whole tree looks like one immense white flower. On the ap­ proach of dawn, when the brilliancy of the stars gradually fades in the light of day, the Sorrowful Tree closes its flowers, and ere the sun te fully risen not a single blossom is visible. A sheet of flower dust as white as snow, covers the ground around the foot of the tree, whieh seems blighted and withered during the day, while, however, it is actively preparing for the next noctur­ nal festival. The fragrance of the blos­ soms is like that of the evening prim­ rose. If the tree is cut down dose to the roots a new plant shoots up and attaias maturity In an incredibly short time. In the vicinity of this singular tree there usually grows another, which ia almost an exact counterpart of the Sor­ rowful Tree, but less beautiful, and, strange to pay, it blooms only in the day time.--Cincinnati Enquirer. 44 99 Necessity is the Mother of Invention.

All France Is perplexed over tht effect of .the verdict in the Dreyfus oourt mar­ tial, which sentences the upforfcspiate officer to ten years' imprisoameai ia i fortress. Even the men ibost with the nation's law differ la opinion as *®B,<pye ln|kKsed tbe sett holds that the flve rNtrs ̂s îtirrltn- PtteAmaent wiH offset the new sentence aad many prominent lawyers hold the •ame-trtew. Attorney Deoaange of ctpowii for the defense, Col, Jouaust, president of the court martial, and Clerk Otmpoife of the military tribunal declare that the impris­ onment on Devil's Island will oount fat nothing and that the new term must be served by the captain. The theory thq£ the sentence was fixed at ten years by the judges, that the punishment would ei- sctly equal that already undergone, seems baseless. It was shown that the yot« of the court martial--5 to 2--made such vec- dict obligatory and the question of ttu accused man's early release was hot con­ sidered by the tribunal. A second degradation will not be possi­ ble, as Dreyfus' sword Was not returned to him and he has no epaulets on the un dress uniform which he now wears. For­ mal application for revlsfon will be made as soon as the necessary papers can be prepared. Dreyfus bore the terrible shock with marvelous fortitude, one might almost say with unnatural calm. He seemed stupefied when Attorney Labori comma •icated to him the verdict, but he after- Ward rallied. .h^s% Mme. Dreyfus and , Mathieu Dreyfus, his brother, visited the prisoner during the course of the afternoon, his brother Subsequently leaving for Paris. The ap­ plication to the court of was taken to him by M. Labori's assistatt&ltaid he signed it. Sunday hf» 'spoke btfVllttle, although he seemed in better spiritft tHaa might have been anticipated.

He said to her: "I am'not uneasy regarding myself, as I shall soon be free, bat Ijhink of ycm •nd my poor children. *Tliiy will' he branded as the children of atnittor." Dreyfus is convinced that theten years' Imprisonment to which he is sentenced im*uti SMB. DRXim wfl! be wiped out by the five years Of 'soli­ tary seclusion be underwent on Devil's Island, and he expects to be released by Oct. 15, which will be five years from the dste of his former condemnation. TO BOYCOTT PARIS EXPOSITION Reports front AH farts •# Civilisation WonM Indicate Tk.s Issttlt. Reports from ail parts of the world in­ dicate a general boycotting of the Paris exposition because of the verdict in the Dreyfus case. Germany will doubtless lead in this effective condemnatfcn of .the nation which bears the Deeyfus scandaL Although the various governments have already been allotted spaee for exhibits and their building* are under way, it Is probable that many ef the powers will de­ cide to abaaden their plans foe the big fair. Where it will be impassible for the governments to eaneei aeeenffements in­ dividual exhibitors will refuse to partici­ pate and they predkt utter failure for what was te have been the crowning event of the century. The Lendon press is oped ia denounc­ ing the Judgment orf the ltenaee oourt. Lending papers ef Russia, Germany, Aua- tria, Italy, Hungary sod other nations unite in advocating a boycott of the expo­ sition. In the United States, from which France expected to draw thousands of visitors, a similar movement is said to be on foot. From many New Tork pulpits Sunday the verdict of the Dreyfus court martial was denounced in unmeasured terms. Ev­ erywhere in the city, where the result of the court martial was discussed, the judges who rendered the verdict of guilty were severely criticised. In Chicago this feeling has been noticed everywhere. From gray-bearded men of business to She wewsboys $s ...SOW s feeling of DRKY FITS' TWO CHILDBEI repulsion for all that appertains to Frhnce.

At no time in the history of this oeaatry have there been so few bank­ ruptcies as now. The liquidation which came with the panic of 1883 was thor­ ough and complete and opened the way for the laying of foundations qt the safest and soundest character for legitimate bus­ iness operations. The outlook, therefore, is still of a promising character. Not­ withstanding the great improvement that has taken place in the last two years all of the best trade authorities agree in the prediction that the culminating poiat of the advance is by no means yet in sight and that there is every reason to believe that present conditions will continue to prevail for several months to come. The developments of the last " week have all been in the direction of improve­ ment. Reports of railroad earnings have shown further gains, the bank clearings are again well ahead of those for the oor- rwpuuuiuf ?rca Inot Jvai auu tivui fV- ery section comes the news of steadily increasing activity in trade and manu­ facturing lines. Prices are being well maintained for the reason that the pro­ duction, great as it has been in the last few months, is still considerably below the demand. Collections are uniformly reported to be good and wholesalers say that the proportion of each transaction is showing a gratifying increase. In the security markets there has been some uneasiness shown with regard to the Transvaal situation and money rates have also shown a tendency to harden. The result of this hajfc been that during the latter part of the week prices for stocks showed a considerable decline. On all the reueseiens, however, good buying has made its appearance in the standard stocks. Trading sentiment at the moment is somewhat mixed, but the best opinion is that as soon as money again eases up the stock market will again develop into a bull affair. Meanti me. it is expected to continue to have two sides, with fluc­ tuations covering a range of two or three points. Business on the Board of Trade suffer­ ed to some extent from the state of the weather. The volume of speculative transactions was thereby curtailed, and the lack of activity gave to the markets an appearance of weakness which was more apparent than real. Holders of wheat had to battle with increasing re­ ceipts, but were sustained in their efforts by the liberal ontflow toward forftgn ports and the fact that, notwithstanding almost daily claims of no demand from abroad, the weekly shipments from this country to Europe exceeded by about 40 per cent the combined efforts of all the other exporting countries of the world. An argument for lower prices cannot well be founded on any such obndition of af­ fairs. Corn dosed Saturday without any ap­ preciable change in price from that ruling at the close of the previous week. Reports from the country very generally claimed damage mare or less from the extremely dry, hot weather, but the speculative ap­ preciation of the amount of injury is dis­ played in the immobility of the grain's value, notwithstanding the excellence of the shipping demand. It is true that freight rates are hardening, and that would have a natural tendency to depress prices west,/but they could not me kept down on that account if there was any doubt of a large erop being practically as­ sured, although it may not be so over­ whelmingly heavy as promised two weeks ago. The dry term has come to an end, and farm work in preparation for another sea­ son, temporarily suspended by the lack of moisture, can now be resumed, so that the flourishing condition of things agricultural continues in undiminished degree. DEWEY SAILS FOR HOME. Oljnpis Leaves Gibraltar on Its Way to New Tork. With the inspiring air of "Hall Co­ lumbia," being played by the band of the British guard ship Devastation, Admiral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, steamed out of Gibraltar bay Sunday morning on her way to New Tork. Just as the Olym­ pia finished turning to run out the nar­ row entrance to the mole the sun barst through the clouds, making the cruiser stand oat like a picture against the back­ ground of gray brown rocks, and across the water floated the music of the Olym­ piad band as it played "God Save the Queen," which was followed. by "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Home, Sweet Home."

The great vessel blockade caused by the sinking of the steamer Douglas Houghton in the St. Mary's river was lift­ ed Sunday afternoon bj the explosion of dynamite in the rocks on which the Houghton rested. The 200 vessels which had been detained by the accident began to move within a half hour and the ma­ rine parade, as the mad race for ports be­ gan, was fully forty miles long. Rain and the approachiug darkness made it diflicult to handle the big fleet in the river. At the entrance to Lake Hu­ ron the race of the iron ore boats for ports along Lake Erie from Toledo to Buffalo began ia earnest. The combined cargoes of the down-bound boats will ag­ gregate 800,000 tons ot iron ore, 12,000,- 000 feet of lumber, 600,000 bushels of wheat, besides nearly a dozen cargoes of flour and general merchandise. Conservative business men estimated the toss due to the Houghton's wreck at over $1,000,000. The lifting of the em­ bargo was full of dramatic incident and was only accomplished after a half doxen heavy charges of dynamite had been ex­ ploded. The wrecking of the Houghton has caused, vessel men to urge the dredg­ ing of another channel parallel with the one at the Encampment and the matter will be brought before the Government engineers this fall: • „ BRINGS TIDINGS OF PEARY. etaamer AVlndward Returna from the Far Frozen North.
