Claf--lin dry good enterprise collapsed
to-day with the appointment of receivers
in New York for
tne
wholesale houseof H. B. Claflln company, and
the
announcement
that
nearly 30retail
stores throughout the country would be closed. The liabilldes of
the
firmare
esti-mated
at

Though affiliated with
the

UnitedDry Goods companies and
the
Asso-ciated Merchants co'mpanlen their stores in New York
and elsewhere were not involved in
the failure..
It
was statedtheir

Announcement was made

the

RARE FAVOR STOLEN AT COTIL
LION OF
NEAR-ROYALT-IN BRUSSELS
Brussels, Belgium, June 25.
Brus-sels society people who were
left
out ofa
recent verysmart
dance, and were gnashingtheir
teeth in consequence,
are
now hugging themselveswith delight
at the
thoughtthat
theyat
least cannot be accused of stealing. Lieutenant Colonel Bridges, the English military attache, whose term has expired, and Mrs. Bridges gave before leaving the Belgian capital,a
dance In honor of
the
Duchess of Arenberg, who had condescended to betheir great
friend. Condescended is theright
word, because the Aren-berg- aare
mediatized princes, which meansthat
theyare
nearly on the thronelevel
This makes themrather
difficult to deal with, because
when-ever their natural feelings lead them to be nice
to
ordinary peoplethe
sharp shadow of somebody else's throne comes acrossthe
picture and spoils theprospect
Sothe
Bridges sorted and sifted Brussels societyun-til they had got together
just a
small number of people,the
double cream of the cream-Whe- nthe
cotillion came on the Bridges contrived totreat
the Duch-iesas
Pharaoh did Benjamim,In-stead of
just' an
ordinary pencil caseas
one ofthe
favorshers
wasa
mag-nificent affair of gold, diamonds and
sapphires. As
the
Duchess had nopocket she hid
the
gorgeous pencil behinda
vase while she stretched herskirt
ina
one-ste-p withher host
asa thank
offering. While she dancedthe
pencil vanished. Noservant
had been inthe
roomand
of courseit
was Impossible for the Bridges to have their guests searched, so
the
af-fair
was hushed up as much aapos-sible.
Just
What She NeededThere is an old saying
that
"ThereIs
a
remedy for every 111,"It
Issome-times years before you find the
rem-edy exactly suited to your case. Mrs. Rachel Cribley, Beaver Dam, Ohio,
was sick for two years with stomach trouble and constipation. She writes,
"My neighbors spoke so
enthusiastic-ally of Chamberlain's Tablets
that
I procureda

FORTY-FIV-E BILLION FEET ISTHE
ANNUAL OUTPUT OF UNITED
STATES
Statstics have been compiled by the
forest service
ihich
show for the first time precisely howthe
lumberpro-duced In the country is utilized. About
45 billion feet of lumber of all kinds
Is the annual production In the
Uni-ted States; of this nearly 25 billion
feet
board measure,are further
manu-factured,, the other portion remaining
for rough construction lumber and fur similar purposes. This is
exclus-ively of material which reaches Its fin-al use In the form of railroad ties, posts, poles, pulpwood, cooperage,
wood distillates, and
the
barks andxtracts demanded by the tanning
In-dustry.
The work of collecting and
compil-ing
the
figures extended overa
con-siderable period and was carried out
state
bystate;
but as one full year was made the basis of statistics in eachstate
the total Is afair
averageof
the
use of lumber Infurther
manu facture In the whole country. Between 50 and 60 per
cent
of thelum-ber
produced is subjectto further
man-ufacture. In preparing
the
figures In this way, however. It should here-members
that
considerable material reaches shops and factories In the form of logs, bolts and billet withoutharirg
passed through sawmills, andwhile this material Is Included in these
statistics this last should be
remem-beredIn comparing the
stastistlcs
with those of lumber production.Nearly or quite 100 different wooJs are used in this country under their own names, while an unknown number
find
their
way to shops and factorieswithout being identified1
or
separately listed, excepted under general names. In quantity the soft woods,the
needle--leaf or coniferous trees,
are
mostIm-portant, but there is
a greater
number of species amongthe hard
woods, orbroad leaf trees. Yellow pine comes first with more
than
8 billionfeet
followed by white pine'
with
3 billion,and Douglas
fir
witha
little morethan 2 billion.
It
should beunder-stood, however,
that the
term "yellowpine" includes several species, the three most important of which are ong leaf, short leaf and loblolly. Oak,
including all species,
has
nearly 2 bil lion feet, and isthe
most importanthard wood. Maple comes next.

Fifty-fiv-e principal Industries use
wood as raw material. Their relative importance is hard
to
indicate,be-cause quantity alone is not in all cases

the community In whicn It is situated, norto the
country asa

More than one-ha-lf of the total con

the
largest items of which are flooring, siding, ceiling and finishing. The next industry, in point of quanti ty of wood used, is the manufactureof boxes and1 crates. Nearly four times as much wood is demanded by

tions and times. The music of which a bass solo by Llewellyn C. Hall Jn

-sions by J. A. Jeancon who Is also

degrees.The thirty-secon-d degree which In
spires patriotism, love of country and of God, was conferred this afternoon and is
the
