Dun & Cn.'z weekly revb-w of trad.- to-morrow will ay: With th" unr rccedor.tc d holiday busi ness ended, transporting facilities arc more nearly adequate for regular requirements. Merchandi.-e moves to consumers more promptly, and In the Iron region there is less Interruption because- of insufficient fuel. Normal conditions have by no means returned, however, and it will be pome time before shippers can safely guarantee deliv eries on a specified daf I'.uylng of staple commoditl. s is r,n a large s'-a'.e, fully sus taining quotations at a high leel. except In the few instance.- where efforts were made to hold prir. above the point war ranted by the ratio of needs to supplies. Tabor controversies are few and unim portant, while the new year has brought advances In the rate of wages at many points. Holiday Idleness, Inventories and annual overhaullngs were all cut down to the lowest possible limit at iron and steel plants In the effort to met urgent de mands from customers. Foundry Iron at the Kast is still scarce, higher prices be ing quoted at Philadelphia, and Chicago mll.'s cannot secure material In desired quantities. Moderate Imports have re Miltel from the domestic deficiency, but this vlll not become a factor of importance If the situation continues to improve. Al though railways largely augmented sup plies of rolling stock during i:d. contracts for this year's delivery already aggregate many months' full capacity of shops, and in structural shapes there is no prospect of a surplus In the near future. Veaknes3 continues in the minor metals. Activity continues at cotton mills, al though dome?tic buying is on a moderate eale. Exporters are bidding freely for heavy poods, but as a rule fall frhort of holders' views, and little new business Is recorded. Jobbing trade in woolens grad ually expands, new lines sellinK fairly at moderate advances over prices prevailing a year ago. Worsted yarns are scarce and firm. A further slight rise has occurred In the average of wool price?, and the tone Is strong, but there Is a tfndency to await the London sale. ten days hence, before making further changes. Footwear factories arc well engaged on spring and summer lines, with prices show ing a firmer tone and fewer producers ready to do business at old rates. Leather has sold freely at Hosten with quotations fully maintained, especially on hemlock and union sole. Chicago packers "stubbornly hold to former list prices, hut the market Is weaker, both domestic and foreign hides actually selling at concessions. Reports of unfavorable weather In winter-wheat regions stimulated prices, and there was further support In the general resumption of activity at four mills, to gether with added inquiry for foreign ac count. Total exports of wheat from the United States for the week, flour included, were 4.173.252 bu. which fell short of the un usually free outgo of 5.15;,7:5 a year ago, but compare most successfully, consid ering the 10 per cent, higher prices now prevailing. The combination of many sup porting influences took quotations above the highest point last year. Corn was fairly well held, in sympathy with wheat, but some soft spots developed, as was natural in view of the fact that the price Is now more than r per cent, higher than a year ago. Atlantic exports for the week were 212.7U bu. against 4.543.113 bu in 1001. Failures for the week numbered 573 In the Fnited States, against 321 last year, and 27 in Canada, against 37 last year. hank c i.caiiim; this WERK. - Total nt Imllntinpolln $1.'M.V,1 12, nn liieren of .?. t Per Cent.

The Trial of Senator Dehor, of Ken tucky, Kxctte Interest. The case of the United States against William J. De Boe. senator from Kentucky, for libel, was begun In the Shortridge Hish School senate yesterday afternoon. The largest crowd that has ever attended a session was present, the gallery was packed and there was hardly room ior the reporters in the press box. Senator White (Frankwood Williams), president of the body, acted as judge, and was fair to both sides. The government was repre sented by Senator Fairbanks (John White) and Senator Hacon (Frank Doudican). The accused was defended by Senators Prltehard (Earl Pritchard) and Lodge (Ed win Friend). Senator Proctor (Herbert Wagner), who was to assist the defense, is ill and could not bo present. After the reading of the Indictment by the prosecutor Senator Pritchard arose and demanded that It be quashed on the ground that it was not the duty of the Senate to try such a case. His argument was answered by the opposition, and after much discussion the judge ruled in favor of the defense. Things seemed very blue for the government, but they stated that they were "up against it," and appealed to the sergeant-at-arms. Miss Donnan, who straightened matters out so that the case proceeded. It was understood that the body was to investigate the charge, and if found true expel Senator Deboe. The senate, however, was to be run under parliamentary law. When things were settled to the satis faction of both sides the prosecution be gan its case. After the brief had been read the first witness was called. He was Senator Perkins, of California, the principal witness of the prosecution. Sen ator Perkins (Ernest Cohn) testified that on March 4, 1mj1, he received a letter from Senator Deboe in which the latter stated that he had Information to the effect that Judge Cantrlll had accepted a bribe. Cross-examination by Senator Lodge failed to shake the testimony of Senator Perkins. The next witness was Miss Samantha. Clark (Edith lirannon), an aged lady, sec retary to Senator Perkins. The witness sard that among letters to Senator Per kins were one from a Sunday-school su perintendent asking 5 cents for missions, one from John D. Rockefeller threaten ing to bring suit for 30 cents and a let ter from the accused stating what the California senator had testified to. This was on March 5. 1901. Miss Clark was a very strong witness. About this time the defense awoke to the fact that they were being beaten and Senator Lodge moved to adjourn. The senate, however, refused to be a party to such a trick and killed the motion. When the next witness was called a young man hurried into the room with his pock ets sticking out with Journals and a pen cil and note book in his hand. He went up to the judge and began to question him. The reporter was "called down." however, by an attorney and took the stand. He proved to be Hasty Ondejump (Paul Edwards). Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal. He had for merly been sporting editor of the War Cry. His testimony was to the effect that Senator Deboe told him (Ondejump) of writing a letter to Perkins telling him (Perkins) his opinion cf Judge Cantrlll. The last witness for the prosecution was O. Ronypart Rreckenrldge- (Bessie Scholl) coachman for Senator Deboe. This witness said that he heard Deboe state that he had written a letter to Senator Perkins telling the latter his opinion of Judge Cantrlll. With this the prosecution rested. The general feeling of those present was that the government had made an ex ceedingly strong case. Shortrltlite Xew. Maude Parkhurst Is 111 with scarlet fever.

The pa per went like the proverbial "hot cakes" and the management was very well pleased, one boy sold a large number and returned to the office for a hundred more, which he disposed of. The long-expected drinking fountain pre sented by the class of 1M1 to the school has at last arrived. It Is a beautiful and useful present, and was placed on the south wall below the stairway. The fountain is made up of a sea maiden and is an exceed ingly artistic affair. It cost over $400. The Oratorical Association has accepted a constitution. There is talk of giving the winner of the rrimary a pin of some kind as a token of honor, and also presenting him with a monogram such as Is given by the Athletic Association. A committee will be selected to look into the matter and re port at the next meeting.

The newest winter tailor gowns are de signed for the latter part of the season and early spring wear, says a New York fashion writer. They are very much on tl lines of those worn last autumn, but al most without exception the coats have no collars and are very closely fitted that Is, given a straight front effect, but having the side darts curved exactly to the figure. One model Is like a bodice and fastens around the front with silver buttons. This is a very severe style and requires to be very carefully made and shaped. It is de signed to complete a suit for shopping and morning wear. The skirt Hares cither by the use of expanding gores or by having an attached flounce, this being a retained style. The vicunas, cheviots and rough cloths are smarter in these gowns than the more elegant smooth cloths, which are still reserved for afternoon and reception wear. Mixed cheviots in heather colors, blue and red arc all fashionable. Brown does not appear In as many dyes, but when It Is shown the deeper sable shades seem preferred to the handsome golden tints. The new French cutaway coat appears In rather rough-surfaced textiles. Deep crimson and automobile reds are used, with a trimming of small silver or gold buttons. For the waistcoat red and black, gold and black, pure white or an odd sdiade of sap phire and black are all in vogue. The most stvlish of these waistcoats are of costly satin vesting fashioned in old continental style, w'tfl small button trimmed pocket flaps or o? a light silk or satin, giving much th.2 same effect. ( The small French postilion, somewhat wider at the bottom than at the top, each tab about seven Inches In length, is at tached to the newest Eton jackets lined with white satin. The tabs are similarly finished. Again, the coat has a belt or the semblance of a belt from, which this ap pendage falls, and it takes the form of a narrow strapped frill or two narrow tabs, possibly supplemented by shorter over lapping ones. Another form is the detached belt and postilion, which can be worn or not. as desired. It is simply a convenient form of belt to wear with a silk or light wool shirtwaist and with a matching stock. This adds a becoming length to either an Eton street or house jacket. It curves slightly to accommodate the dip front of the waist and fastens to the jacket with one hook only, underneath the back. There has never before been a winter when so many delicate and beautiful white waists have been worn at private home or hotel dinners, at the theater, alter- noon teas, receptions and concerts. There are softest of India silks, liberty satins, chiffon and lace models, those In em broidered batiste and India mull, plain and fancy peau de sole, etc. Indeed, the variety worn this season is endless and most fas cinating. Cream white peau de soie or satin royal, either fabric in the form of a tucked waist with strappings of the same, and small gold buttons or ecru guipury accessories constitute one of the most pop ular dinner waists of the winter. The most delicate and becoming face veil for mourning wear is formed of Brussels net. with a hemstitched border or creped band. All of the modern accessories of mourning are notably smart, and nothing is more so perhaps than the hats and toques which are made of soft flat folds of silky Ralian crepe and chiffon, with silk roses or black silk violets, surrounded with a choux of chiffon for a finish. Even the little ca potes, which formerly were not much more than a foundation for the long veil, have some dainty becoming loops or soft dra peries of crepe or chiffon across the front. ConcernliiR TnMe Linen. Conkey's Home Journal. Mentioning this torchon lace (the real, mind) makes me think of a beautiful set of luncheon table mats I have seen lately that were trimmed with it. The owner of the mats had taken the corners of a worn table cloth and cut them into round mats a trifle larger than the dinner plate. All housekeepers know that the edges of table cloths are strong long after the centers have become like sieves. The woman had carefully rolled the edges of the mats and whipped them over all around with rather coarse thread. Then she whipped back the other way, making a firm cross stitch. It was easy enough after this to top-sew on the edges a row of torchor about an inch and a half wide. These little mats are economical to a degree, for they save much washing of big table cloths, and besides they are no end fash ionable. Many women with good oak ta bles use them for breakfast as well as luncheon, and then the good squares -or circles are safe from the wilting table cloths and made to do duty over and over again. Don't buy towels in bunches at the sales. One or two fine ones are put in to tempt, and the others are questionable, usually. Instead, get the huckaback for tegular use. If you get a piece and hem the towels yourself you will save at least one-fifth on each, which is something when you own your own time. Never buy fringed damask ones unless you have loads of money to give to the plumber. The fringe always goes down the drain pipes, and the towels look shabby in no time. I know a woman who wears $90 tailor-mades, and she says she can afford one a year from the money she has saved on linen since she has been married. I don't know how long that is. but she says she always buys ends of tablecloths at sales and makes her own damask towels. She has them all sizes, and she trims the ends of some of them with torchon lace. These she covers the towels on the rack with, and some of the pieces she trims all around and uses for chiffonier co'ers, dressing ta ble covers, washstand covers, sideboard covers and bedroom table covers. A hint: Iron your linen, all of it, with a fourteen pound iron. The pressure gives gloss and t rings out the patterns as no amount oi physical strength can do. The Iron is fine for your dress-skirt seams and dress-skirt bindings. It may cost you 60 to 70 cents, but it is worth the price. Hints on FuriiUhlng:. Philadelphia Record. Built-in book shelves are such fashionable furnishing pieces that it is well to know that they should always match the wood work of the room, and not that of the furni ture. Detached bookcases should be like the furniture, but it is not considered en regie for the built-in kind. Much discretion should be used in the treatment of the yellow wall coverings, the fad of fashion just now, to prevent a garish effect. Much toning down with green surroundings is one way, or dark weathered oak woodwork and furnishings Is another. The exposure of the room lias much to do with it, too. Yellow is usually too light for a bright, sunshiny room, bu'. will give excellent results in a cold north or east room. Two things are to be avoided in the two most popular house-furnishing schemes of the times, the colonial and the Flemish, if entire success is to be attained. This is, too often with the first named, in seeking the clear, cool backgrounds and graceful fur nishings, consistent with the colonial period and from which this style of decoration de rives a great deal of its charm, only bare and scanty results are bbtained and the scheme thereby ruined. On the other hand, do not spoil a Dutch scheme by the other extreme, and make it only jdoomy and heavy by a too oppressive massiveness. Where the size of a dining room that has a bay window permits, a very new idea is to make of the bay window a breakfast alcove. This is done by a smaller dining table placed in the bay window that ex tends all across one end of the room, which is u?ed exclusively for breakfast, the larger center table being reserved for luncheon and dinner. The fashion for an uncovered dining table at breakfast and luncheon grows apace. According to the newest and smartest usage a scarf is thrown across the end of the table, on which is placed the tray that holds the coffee service. Nothing else is upon the table but the center piece and the plate anil tumbler doilies and necessaries of each in dividual place. Everything else Is served from a side table. Many women.

Lesson lit Jnniiiiry 12, 1001 Acts xi, 1-11 The Quarterly Review. Concluded. Acts is also the record of one of the moat re lrarkaLle social revolutions that has ever oc curred, radical in its nature and wide-reaching in Its effect?. One will remember the Mrictly ethnic character of Hebrewism. A spirit of ex clusivene.3 seemed to thrive under it. The Jew ish Church grew more and more narrow. An arrogant ecclesiastical pride, an inveterate pre judice against the heathen, rosepped it. The heathen Just as cordially despised the Jews. A wall impenetrable, adamantine, divided the two. No human means could raie that wall. Acts shows how it was laid as low as the wall of Jericho, though not ?o suddenly. For a time the Hebrew Christians thought the heathen must cr me to them via the Hebrew Church and its ordinance. Hut the conversion of Cornelius. th revival in Samaria, the founding of the church in Antieh. dissipated the mists of prejudice and gradually gave a clearer vision; while the tire less and transparently unselfish missionary ef forts of Ft. Taul, which so potently sought them and not theirs, disarmed the inveterate prejudice of the heathen toward anything Jewish, and cap tured their hearts. Acts gives us the lovely picture of these two mutually repellent factions fused into an ecclesiastical brotherhood, and actually seated together in a "feast of love" a result that can only be accounted for upon the hypothesis that Christianity is divine. It has been commonly supposed that Luke's nar rative lacked order; that it wa a species of desultory reminiscence; but it has remained for "Whedon, aided by suggestions of the elder Baumgarten, to find the philosophy of the acts of the apostles. "As Luke's gospel shows how Christianity was presented to the world in the person of Christ, so the acta must show how It was founded in the world through the instru mentality of his chosen apostles and preachers." The following Is Whedon's analysis: 1. The Pentecostal Church; or, Christianity within the Jews. Typical character. Peter; typical city, Jerusalem. 2. The Transition Church from Jews to gentiles. Typical character, Thill?; typical city, Antloch. 3. Church among the gentiles. Typl:al character, Paul; typical city, Rome. THE PROMISE OP POWER FULFILLED. Pentecost was the popular festival of the He brew Church. Its keystone was Joyoui. Its dis tinctive offering wa the twin loaves of bread, made from the new wheat of the harvest. It occurerd at a period favorable for the largest attendance. There vas a recesa in farm toll, and the season was eo favorable for travel that Jews of the dispersion cam in large numbers. It Is commonly believed that at this particular Pente cost there was an especially largo attendance. The Hebrew world was more than usually ex pectant. Rumor of mighty deeds had spread afar. In an historic parenthesis, Luke catalogues the countries represented. What a territory! From Mesopotamia to Rome; from Asia Minor to the Libyan desert. The festive throng 13 far too large to be accommodated within the city walls. Gay turbans, bright tilliths. booths, and tents, have converted th hill-slopes into a vast and brilliant parterre. The- Informal morn ing meal is finished. The liveliness of the gen eral converse Is toned, perhaps, with an Inde scribable premonition of the coming great event. It is the very hour for the gladsome service to begin. All eyes In that vast theater of nature are turned to Herod's snowy temple, crested now with fire. Suddenly, a preternatural sound falls on every ear. It Is the awful roar of a cyclone. Yet one looks in vain Into that radiant sky for the funnel-shaped cloud. The air itself 13 motionless. The audible symbol could not be more appropriate. It represents at once an invisible presence, and an Irresistible but not harmful power. The dread re port admits of localization. A vast throng is at tracted there in an Instant. Now the sound is matched by a preternatural sight. The long-lost Fheklnah, indls.olubly associated with every triumphant epoch of Hebrew history, aprears again. Not now, however, as In former times, within the temple, but in a common home. As they look, a new and significant phase of the miracle appears. That celestial fire rarts into many flames. One rests above each disciple's head. "The fires that rushed on Final down In sudden torrents dread. Now gently light, a glorious crown. On every sainted head." A sign pregnant with meaning! Fire, the pure and purifying natural element, the warming and illuminating agent! Fire, too. In the shape of a tongue, signifying that humanity Is to be warmed, illuminated, and cleansed by the spoken word, the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. Now, there Is a continuation. In articulate speech, of the miraculous manifestation in audi ble and visible form which had preceded. In elevated and rapturous strains, like Moses's song or Mary's magnificat, the inspired disciples cele brate the finished work of the Messiah. They yield themselves as Instruments to the Holy Fpirit, and are, perhaps, but semi-cognizant of the words they utter. That polyglot audience listens to a polyglottous anthem, commemorat ing the high praises of the glorified redeemer. To this ecstatic and poetic outburst, the deliberate, explanatory, and argumentative address of St. Peter presents the sharpest contrast. Divine the appositeness! On that old dispensa tion harvest home day, the first harvest of souls is reaped, with the gospel sickle in the hand of Peter, foremost of apostles of the new dispensa an artistic one, make the mistake of just keeping one or two old pieces for old asso ciation's sake. When they fall below the artistic standard set for the room a few compromises like this may destroy the whole effect, and the wise thinff to do is to discard them resolutely. An authority on house furnishing asserts that comfort and effective appearance in a home depend largely upon right tempera ture, right color schemes and chairs with properly poised backs. To insure a sense of harmony in a bed room drape the windows, cover the couch and cushion the chairs with the same stuff. For coziness and comfort in front of an open fireplace there should be an easy chair, a. small table for magazines, books and papers and a shaded lamp.

Care of Toilet Articles. New York Tribune. In these days of luxurious toilet fittings one is often surprised to see the careless ness with which they are treated. Rrushes, in particular, suffer from lack of care, although so many are needed for various purposes. Hairbrushes-, toothbrushes, nail and hat brushes are so generally mounted in silver and ebony that they require a good deal of attention, as tarnished mountings are as bad as shaby finery. Silver backs of brushes, if rubbed daily with a chamois leather, will seldom need a regular cleaning. Occasionally moisten a little whiting with alcohol and bruh the silver with this. Rru:h out again and polish with a soft chamois. The backs and handles of ebony brushes should be rubbed over with a little boiled linseed oil after washing, and then rubbed with a soft duster till every vestiga of oli la removed. Special care is needed in cleansing silver initials on these, and only very sligntly molsteiiul whiting snould be used or it is apt to leave a white mark on the wood, which is extremely diflicult to remove. In brushing the whltins off after clean ing be careful not to scratch the ebony, for once scratched it is spoiled. Ordinary wooden back brushes can be treated with linseed oil In the same way as ebony Tooth and bail bruhos should always stand in such a position that all water can drain from them. Hairbrushes should be washed once a week, and an soon spoiled unless properly cleansed. The bei-t way is to put a table spoonful of ammonia in a quart of water as hot as ran be borne comfortably by the hand. The brush should be freed from hairs and dipped, bristles downward, in and out of the water until clean. It should WORK. S tion. Three thousand souls are Immediately bap tized and received into the disciples' g-dly fel lowship. Pentecost Is the irrefragable seal to the ascension of Jesus. When the high priest went within the veil, t'iough the people saw him not. they knew he was there, by the sweet tinkling of the golden t?lls that fringed his robe. They were assured that He still lived, and performed the holiest rites of their religion. So this preternatural sound, this dazzling sight, of Pentecost, was the token by which the apos tles knew, and all subsequent believers are as sured, that the eternal priest of the universal heart, having entered within the veil, yet lives and pleads. Well did Peter say. "He hath shd forth this which ye now see and hear." This, is demonstrative- evidence that God hath raised him up and exalted him to the right hand, and hath fulfilled to him the promised effusion of the Holy Ghot. THE TEACHER S LANTERN. The courage and persistency of the apostles in tarrying at Jerusalem is admirable. Like sheep in the miJst of wolves, their shepherd gone, they still held together, and were obedient to his last command. The glory of the ascension had heartened them to this extent. The da scent of the Holy Ghost Is strongest proof of the ascension of Jesus. As the high priest, lost to view of the people- as he officiated behind the veil, was yet in evidence by the ti .kling of the golden bells that fringed hiä robe, so the suc cessful mediation of the divine high priest was proven by this shedding forth which all saw and heard. He had prayed the Father for the Com forter. He had baptized them with the Holy Ghost and fire. The expression, "mighty, rush.'ng wind," has a new significance for me since Arril 27, 1S4, when I heard the cyclone which passed over the city of Xenla, O. Ten thousands of rocks, crashing and bounding on a vast stone pavement, could not have made a sound more awful. All Jerusalem, and the region around, hoard the signal that ushered in the new dispensation. We are not living un der a general and impersonal influence of God, expressed by the term Holy Spirit. We are living in the dispensation of a person in the adorable, trinity. Thirty-nine distinctive titles, suitable only to a person, are applied in Scripture to the Holy Spirit- Two hundred and fifty-five acts, in volving Intellection, volition, and personality, are ascribed to Him. The spirit came not as a transient guest. He came to abide forever. His offices are to regenerate, witness, teach, help In prayer, etc. CHRISTIAN EMJI2AVOR. Topic for January 12 Entering; the Kingdom John til, l-S; 5-2 4. How does a human soul enter "the kingdom of heaven?" Not as the allied troops entered the empire of China, taking it by violence, remain ing there on sufferance, and leaving with no more title to the kingdom than they had when they entered. Not In that way. ( But souls enter the kingdom of heaven more as King Edward VII entered into his inheritance. It was his. No one disputed It with him. tt was all his, and became his as soon as he laid claim to it, and will remain his with all it con tains. Every child of God is heir apparent. Since Christ's death, every child of God may ascend the throne with Him. Probably no two persons enter the kingdom of heaven in the same way. There was Augustine, who, after a wild and reckless youth, was torn with remorse and despair. One evening, In a garden of Milan, he heard a child's voice sing ing strangely, "Take up and read, take up and read." That song sent him to the Rible, to Christ, and to a life of marvelous holiness and power. A telegraph clerk, already smitten with a sense of sin, one day read off from his Instru ment a message r.ot for his office: "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh way the Ein of the world." He made the message his own. and en tered the kingdom. . Sir Henry Havelock once observed that a sol dier, formerly a very wicked man, was evidently reformed, and asked him how It happened. The man replied: "The Lord Jesus came to me, and said. 'Private, right about face!' " However the kingdom may be entered, there is no more mystery in the step than in a man's turning from left to right in a morning walk. He has been living for self; henceforth he lives fcr Christ; he has entered the kingdom. And what ar the results? They are shown la two directions. First, the life is truer. A man called once at the office of an English tax col lector and, handing In his assessment paper, said, "I want to ray more than this. Since I rrade out a statement of my property I Rave been converted." He had entered the kingdom. Second, the life is happier. Dr. Banks says that he knows a man who, before his conversion, was so gloomy and anxious that he was a con firmed dyspeptic. A friend who was a skeptic met this man at a restaurant after his conver sion, and was amazed at the way he could eat. "It is my new joy," he declred, "that has cursd my dyspepsia;" and the skeptic Was so Im pressed by the fact that he gladly went with his friend to learn of the Great Physician. The kingdom of God, accorcing to Paul's su preme definition, is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. There Is no way to righteousness, peace, and joy, except through be lief in Christ and doing His will: And you will know whether you have entered the kingdom by noting whether it is growing ensler for you to be righteous, more certain that you will b at peace, and more Inevitable to be happy.
