INDUSTRIAL CRISIS.
fThreatens All Europe Say* Our Consul
; iu Frnnktqrt Germany.
Simon W. llunauer vice consul gen-
era! in a r«wt leuer from Frankfurt
'published in the United States consular
report* says:
I "The wave of Industrial prosjririty in
■ Europe which has steadily risen since
!lsn.> has taken a turn and begun to
• recede. All signs pointed toward a crisis
fin industrial and liuancial lines which
I may occur belore two years have passed.
I Any political uislurbauee oi note may
I bring on the crisis suddenly and with-
out warning toal mining is still 'boom-
ing' as the supply is not equal to the
<tenian<l. The iron and steel works in-
cluding the manutaeturc of many lines
of machinery mid steel plates tor war-
ships have orders whicn it will take
some months to fill but factories mak-
ing small ironware nails neeuics bicyc-
les. sewing machine*. etc. are curtailing
production and reducing working force*
and wage scales.
| "There arc doubts if the immensely
capitalized electrical works of Germany
and other countries can keep fully em-
ployed after present contracts arc tilled
this line of industry which in Germany
alone represents mi investment of nearly
$300000000 ha* been largely instrumen-
tal in creating the present boom.
"Failures have already begun in the
building trade whielC iu. the large cities
has been of u speculative nature and
rested mainly on borrowed capital.
Kents for business houses and dwellings
have advanced but will topple upon the
first beginning of a business crisis.
"The. German papers speak in alarm-
ing tones of the sad position of the
textile industry where stoppages of
iactories arc the order of the day. laite
statistics of the Gera district show 6022
looms idle out of a titai of 11829. The
weavers still employed* there earn but
SI.'M to $2.38 per week. This wretched
wage which is to support a family is
next to a starvation rate especially as
fuel and provisions have greatly advanc-
ed in price and the poor operative must
pay government tux and school rate
besides.
“The stock market is the delicate seis-
mometer which denotes the coming up-
heaval. Shares of industrial companies
have already comineneed to decline
though the report* of their operations
promise for this year large dividend*.
The high interest rates which have ruled
for money this year and taxes
which capitalists and business iterests
must pay in Germany have also tended
to affect the boom.”
FAMOUS MANSION-
(If the latte A. T. Stewart Is To Ui
Sold To An Aetor. •
New York Herald.
A. T. Steuart’s famous mansion at
the northwest corner of Fifth avenue
and 1 hirty-fourth street may very soon
•income the property ol a member of
the Astor family.
The Stewart pro|s-rty was almost sold
in Jnne of la«t year but at the last
moment the purchaser a wealthy west
enter called off the deal and no con-
tracts were signed. At that time the
wiling price was stated to be about
$15000W although the projs-rty has
been appraised as high as $2.0009)00.
The late A. T. Stewart purchased the
site for his marble |ialac<' in IMH. At
the time the property was occupied by
the Townsend residence a brown stone
dwelling surrounded by ample grounds.
After this house had been remodeled
for him .Mr. Stewart changed his mind
and deckled to build an entirely new
dwelling after his own plans.
Thus it is that the style rff architec-
ture follows no distinct school and that
in every part of the building where mar-
ble could be used it is in evidence.
The mansion took seven years to build
and cost at least 51.000.0u0. exclusive of
the ground. Tons and tons of the purest
marble were brought from Tuckahoe for
the outer walls while for the interior
Mr. Stewart purchased marble in Italy
cut according to the directions of his
architect piece by piece all jiolished aud
ready to net.
The Manhattan club for the first five
years it weupied the Stewart mansion.
|mid $37.5<i0 rent per annum. Later this
was increased to $40000.
HUNTER MG I IKE AM) THE SHEEP.
Dr. Hunter Hulmes McGuire dead at
lee age of <l5 was medical director of
the army of the Shenandoah valley and
of the 2d army corp- during th.
nr. and being on Stonewall Jackson*
stuff was clowr to that brave soldier
than any other man in the army savs
the New York Press. One incident of
his career is amusing. He was anxious
to got into Richmond and the northern
corps were anxious to keep hi ntottL
One night he enme ujron a body of Con
federate cavalry en route nnd in run*.
The Yankees had jti . sent it Hying for
shelter behind stone forces. “What
sheep arc the«c’” McGuire cried giv
itig the order to halt and reform. The
cax miry men answered. "Baah baah
F.aah!" from their hiding places. There-
after throughout the conflict whenever
any of that command came .within sight
of and sound of McGuire the welkin was
imide to ring with "Baah baah. buah!"
The doctor delivered a speech before the
Confederate veteran camp in this citv
several years ago and as lie left the
hall a battered mbmber whispered iu
his ear. “Raah baah! baah! Doctor
‘how about those sheep beforo Rich-

MISTAKEN TERMS
That Are Used Every Day by the Ma-
jority of People.
Cayenne pepper is prepared not from
a pep|«“r plant but from capsicum. Neith-
er is burgundy pitch pitch nor docs it
come from Burgundy.
Jerusalem artichokes do not Come
from Jerusalem. The plant is not a na-
tive of the Holy Land. The Jerusalem
artichoke is a- sunflower. and gains its
name from the French word “girasole”
meaning “plant which turns toward the
sun.”
Turkeys do not come from Turkey. The
bird is a native of America.
Camel's hair brushes are made from
the soft bushy tail of the common squir-
rel.
German silver is not (diver at all. but
an alloy of various of the baser metals
which was invented in China and used
there for centuries. An injustice is
done to Germany in calling the cheap but
useful wooden-cnsed clocks she has so
long produced Dutch. The mistake aris-
es from the German word for "German'
—"Deutsch.”
Cork legs are not constructed of cork
neither did they eotne from the city of
that mime. The usual innterinls tor a
cork leg is weeping willow covered with
rawhide.
People with or without cork leg*
-nine times pride themselves they are
wearing porpoise hide boots. So-enlleq
porpoise hide is in reality the skin of the
white whale.
Prussian blue does not come from Prus.
-in. It is a chemical product of which
America makes her full share..
Irish stew i* not an Irish but an Eng-
lish dish aud Turkish baths did not
originate in Turkey but in Russia.
Cleopatra's Needle has nothing to do
with Cleopatra but was set up about
1.(100 years before that lady was born
by Tothmea HL a full record of whose
wonderful exploits is preserved in the
Temple of Karnak.

WHAT SAID THE WIND?
By Aidis Dunbar.
(Her thought.)
Ilie wind i» wining all the trees
they w hisper in the sun;
led rui through the sunt warm grass
I he wayward shadows run.
oh. turn you there or turn you there
the thought will not away—-
that love conns a* the wind comes
And none may say it nay
<His thought.)
The wind is scattering the leaves
Un iloads rush up the sky;
Ju iugiaut snow-Hakes find no rest
But whirl aud toss and fly.
And still though wanders with the wind
Returning but to say:
’Oh lon* goes as the wind blows
And none may bid it stay.'”

magnificently equipped with a largt r
cumjmny. more novel acts more fam jus
comedians and greater singers-thmi ever
before gathered together in one com-
pany will be the attraction at the Grand
oduy and Monday. In organizing his
present comjiany Mr. West realizing the
public demand for more comedy mine
mirth-provoking features than have been
“ten in minstrel programs in recent
years has gathered together a galaxy of
hurnt-eork comedians that give as-
iram-e in advance of an entertaimaeat
replete with mirth and clean wholesome
fun. Who can repress a smile at the
mere mention of such names as ItiHy Y'.i i
and Ernest lenn. both quaint original
and always hapjiy in their art of fun-
making. When coupled to the names
of Kavinond Teal and Chas. Whalen it
: >ves us a quartette of comedians never
excelled in any one company. The West
niin-trels have always been strong fiom
a musical standpoint. This year is no
■ veeption in that respect the •or.il
corps being headed by that phenomenal
■inger Richard J. Ju-e. augmented I .
- uh splendid voices as Manuel Romain
John I’. Rodgers. Wm. Hallett. Gus ’ er-
non and a chorus of powerful voice-.
The setting for the first jrart is said to
be rich in -qilendor. gorgeous and har
monious in color and withal to show
extreme good taste in its artistic de-
sign. What is this season regarded ns
one of the strong features with the
West minstrels and which is attracting n
rent deal of attention and favoiabh'
comment is the magnificent street pa-
rade. entirely new nnd novel very rich
in appointment- and displaying a vari'
ty and wealth of out-door display never
attempted any minstrel company be-
fore.
