IF A WOMAN DIE
win She Live Again An Agnostic Low
er's Strange Study in Psychology.

Late one night in June two men, a
medical student and young lawyer,
sat discussing more things than IIora-
ito dreamed of in his philosophy.
Can you think" said Graham, the
lawyer, THAT there is absolutely no ex-
lstence of any vital principle apart from
the physical functions that stop with
death? | will never believe that there
is not something behind all that-the
something that looks out of the eyes
that intangible, incomprehensible some
thing; thar + or that you which only
uses human eyes or voice to express it
self"
''All that has been discovered to be
nothing but a combination more rless
complicated of brain cells, " returned
Fielding, the student. IF YOU had
gone into that sort of thing as | have,
you would see that it is all reducible to
matter. \ few more steps and there
will be no question of spirit, even for
such idealists as you. Touch one spot
in the brain of a genius, and you have
gibbering idiot. Lift a bit of bone
from an idiots brain, and YOU can edu-
ca:e your man of genius"
Graham shook his head.
81 have seen too many deaths, con.
tinued Fielding, and too many dis
sections not to be positively assured
that the vital essence is extinct with
death. Why, just look at it, how many
tritling accidents put an end to mans
existence. Stop his heart, take away
a few pounds of blood, destroy his di-
gestion and you have destroyed him, l
say. The necessary combination of
forces to work his machinery has been
disarranged, and he stops for good and
all. | grant you for some it is hard
enough to give up the idea of 4 soul,
but most people will be glad to wei
come annihilation, as | do. No. we
are born and we die, and there's the
end"
Graham smoked silently for some
time, and looked out of the open win
dow on the brilliant moonlight that
dimmed half the stars.
"A night for lovers" he remarked
presently.
"Who believe in Immortality for one
night only" laughed Fielding. "What
nonsense it seems that the reflected
light of dead world, and the twink
ling of a few live suns, millions of
leagues away, should make people
ready to die for each other, when they
laugh at the idea when their own sun
rises"
''You mcorrigible matcrialist ~ cried
Graham ''why do people marry every
day?"
"Habit, example and the conditions
of the race One woman is as good
asanother if she is healthy and sweet
tempered"

A Better Day For Business-Deallngs In Volume and an Advance In Prices That Held at the Close.

In Volume and an Advance In Prices That Held at the Close.
 NEW YORK; Aug. IA.
 The dealings on the Stock Exchange were larger in volume to-day than on the two preceding days with the tone strong With the exception of brief hesitancy in the early dealings prices advanced al most uninterruptedly up to o'clock. The advance was mainly due to manipulation by the bull cliques, but in several instances there other causes to which the advance attributed. Erie advanced on rumors of Vanderbilt buying, while the grangers exhibited strength on the growing belief that the western trunk line difficulties would be smoothed over and all differences amicably adjusted Ru- mors to the effect that the eastern trunk line trou bles growing out of the competition between the New York Central and.West Shore roads would re- suit in the purchase of the West Shore by the Van derbilt interests, and that negotiations with that end in view were now in progress, helped to stimu- late the rise One of the reports in regard to New York Central and West Shore was that a meeting of the directors of the former company had been called for tomorrow to consider the issue Of ten million dollars of debenture bonds bearing per cent interest to be used in buying controlling in terest in the latter road. This report was denied later and caused sharp decline in New York Central the stock selling down from 1Osss to 1O69s and closing at 1O64 bid. The highest prices of the day were touched for most of the list about two o'clock, but the last hour there brisk selling to realize which together with vigorous raid on Louisville and Nashville and Lackawanna had the effect of causing. sharp reaction The close, how ever was rmer and despite the late selling most Of the stocks closed at advance over yesterday s prices of A to 3A per cent the latter in Erie pre- ferred. The specialties were dull.
 Money loaned easy throughout the day and closed at 11k Q2 per cent.
 Exchange closed firm. Posted rates 4SS@4 @4S5 actual rates 4ss@4se16 for sixty days. 4s4@4s4A for demand.

Baltimore Sun may suggest an explanation of the mystery Read it,

During recent trip with the Orpheus sailing club of Baltimore to the well-known Cobb's Island, the unpleasant impression: An enterprising woman from New York has contracted with Paris millin- cry firm to deliver during this summer 40O00 or skins of birds at 40 cents apiece With several ing engaged young and old to kill birds of different kinds, and paying them 10 cents for each specimen not too much mutilated for millinary purposes The plumage of most of the birds to be obtained at this island is plain but with the assistance of little dye is transformed into that of the gayly-tropical birds The birds comprised in this wholesale slaug- ter are mainly the different species of gus and terms numbers could formerly be found upon this island But now only few of these birds remain upon Cobb's Island itself, and the pothunters or rather to carry out their cruel scheme If consider that with each old bird killed, and only old birds have suitable plumage,-also many of the young birds, still unable to take of themselves are doomed to starvation this wholesale slaughter becomes still
 more infamous and criminal
 We happen to know that the above is no exaggeration, but is strictly true Is this not rather alarming state of affairs? On the whole, it is about as bad as what is taking place on Long Island. Now what is the pub lie, and especially the great army of bird 1ov- CTS in the United States, going to do about this2 What do the farmers and fishermen think of the destruction of their friends and allies, the birds! It is an easy matter to sit still and do nothing. It will be some trouble to call the attention of ones friends and neigh bors to the subject, ,and urge each one of them to dowhat he can to stop this butchery some trouble to warn off from one's premises every man who carries gun; some trouble to go a little out of your way to speak to the local game protector, or to write him 8 letter.

MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.

The Great Number of Mills Which
 Have Shut Down in the Eastern Part
 of the State-Hartford's Interest in
 Cement.
 NORWICH, Aug. 14.-Within a week east ern Connecticut mills have shut down for periods ranging from one to six weeks as fol- lows: The American and Windemere mills at Rockville, 400 hands out of work; White Ballouville; A1drich & Miners woolen mills at Moosup; the Attauwagan mills; all the mills at Central Village; the mills at Waure- gan and at Elmville; theF'Old Mill'' at Staff fordville. The Warren Woolen company, at Stafford Springs, operating the largest worsted manufactory in the State, have prac- tically suspended work; Ellis Converse & Co.,, at Orcuttville, have closed indefinitely; Charles Fox & Co.,, at FoxVille, have stop ped, and the four-set mill at Hydevil1e, as well as the Riverside factory at Stafford Hol- low, are closed. This is in Windham county. In this county all the pistol shops ip this city, the most extensive manufactures in the State, have been closed for weeks; one or two mills at Montville are closed, and the Laurel Glen woolen factory at Clarke's Falls, North Stonington, will remain still for an indefinite period.
 Hartford has considerable interest in the manufacture of hydraulic cement. There are two companies, somewhat allied in own ership, controlled in Hartford, viz, the Utica company and the Standard company. The first is the older, having been operated by Hartford people for the past seven or eight years, while the Standard company is but year and half old.
 The Utica company operates property at Utica, Illinois, near Chicago, while the Stan dard company operates three properties, one at Akron, N. Y., near Buffalo, one at Mankato, Minn., near St. Paul, and one at East Carondelet, H., near St; Louis. Together the companies control about eight hundred acres of land and have capacity of over z, 800 barrels per day, and are shipping daily about 1, ,500 bar rels The markets are Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and the various lake ports, as well as New England from Akron; Chicago and it's dependencies from Utica; St. Paul and the North Pacific country from Mankato; the lower Mississippi and southwest from St. Louis In fact the lake ports, the West, Northwest and Southwest are largely covered by the location of the different works. The older company has been quite profitable to it's owners, and the younger company is do- iT1cyr Ia well
