and Conspicuously Devoid of Vim.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 2l.-While the temper
Of the speculation at the stock exchange
was unchanged from that developed yes
ierday, to-day's markets were extremely
tame and consplcuously devoid Of vim. It
was a dull day in all the departments.
Stocks opened irregular compared with last
evenings closing prices, but generally were
tmall fractions higher. The London mar
ket failed to send us quotations correspond
ing to our yesterdays late advances, which
had slight dampening effect, and from
first figures there were some small reac-
tions; but u the was not large demand
to purchase there sno special pressure
to sell, and prices ra,. 4, but toward the
end an easier tone again prevailed, and the
market closed with figures only q little
changed from Yesterdays last prlces, but
with more declines than gains among the
principal active stocks.
Government bonds duh and easy, with
bids for the As ana 4 As of per cent. State
bonds inactive; sales OF Virginia 6s deferred
at III, a decline OF Z. Railway bonds were
unusually dull, aud prices generally ruled
easy.
Money to day generally comman led 3
per cent. for call loans, with exceptions at
0 6per cent, and late at per cent, closing
offered at per cent.

WHITE MOUNTAIN APACnEs.
A PesceabIe, Industrious, Orderly, and
Law-AbIdinR People.

l.. Q. c. Lamar, jr., the son and conf
Dental clerk Of Secretary Lamar, recently
visited Fort Apache, situated on the San
Carlos reservation, Arizona. The vicinity
Of Fort Apache is the home OF the White
Mountain Apaches. Hence Mr.. Lamar had
opportunity 10 become acquainted with
those Indians. lie is enthus astic in his
views OF their character. "They arc,n he
says, ga peaceable, orderly, industrious,
law.abiding people. The quartermastor's
official report shows that they supplied the
post during the past year with corn, barley,
and hay to the value OF 500, 1896" Mr..
Lamar spoke OF them as noble looking men,
and not at all the blood thirsty demons the
people OF Arizona would have the authorl-
ties believe. He says that Chatto, who had
been abused so much in the newspapers, Is
one Of the best OF Indians, and that there 10
very little TO show that he had anything TO
do with the murder Of the McComas family.
Mr.. Lamar brought back many interesting
Apache relies, among them a llon-skin
culver filed with arrows. The Apaehes are
paid S25 for every Hons head they bring TO
the sheriff, and they accordingly hunt them
mercIlessly

THE FARM MORTGAGE CASE.

Secretary Lamar Sharply ovsrrules
Commissioner Sparks.
Secretary Lamar has made decision in
the farm mortgage case, which has attracted
so much attention In Wisconsin, sharply
overruling the decision Of Commissioner
Sparks, Of the general land Office, and direct
ing him to certify up the lands at once, in
order that they may be conveyed to the
state of Wisconsin for the benefit Of the
Farm Mortgage Company. The greater
portion of the large tract Of land involved
was long ago occupied by innocent third
parties, farmers and others, who held their
titles as the grantees Of the Farm Mortgage
Company, TO which Commissioner Sparks
had refused to give title. Secretary Lamar,
in his comments upon the decision of
Sparks, has established precedent which
is Of the utmost importance In large class
Of similar cases. He does not propose to
override decision OF the United States
superior court, which he declares to be a
very high and persuasive authority, and he
says: "What the statute directs 1t means to
have done. Not to do II, or even to delay
unnecessarily the doing Of 1t, is to violate
the statute and involves a grave dsreliction
Of duty"

come to my stables from all parts OF

horses have good feet and stand the
pavements better than the Clydcsdales,
and bring a better price on the market.
The Clydesdales are short-ribbed, slim
wasted and lack action. Compare
lively few of them are now brought to
this market. The demand is largely
for French horses. would advise the

BEARcOOTS.
A. Noted Travellers Experience with the
Great Asiatic Eagles.

n Noted IFareler'S Experience WITH tAS
Great Asiatic Eagles.
s'Bearcoot" is the name of a very
large black eagle found in the rocky
defles of the Amoor River. So bold and
powerful are these birds that they have
been known to attack and kill even
wolves. The following incident, re-
corded by Mr.. Thomas W. Atkinson in
his travels and Adventures Among
the Mountain Kirghis,' will illustrate
the power and courage of the bearcoot,
besides showing that he would prove
formidable opponent to any unarmed
man, if hunger prompted him to dls-
pute possession of his game:
Three of these dark monarchs OF the
sky were seen soaring high above the
crags to the south, which were too abb
rupt to ride over. We therefore pick
eted our horses to feed, and began to
ascend the mountain slope. In about an
hour and half we reached the summit,
and descended into small wooded val
ley, when we observed the bearcoots
wheeling round the upper end, in the
direction we fastened. Having gone
quick pace for about three miles, we
reached rocky glen that led us into a
valley of the Bean, known as favorlte
resort of maral-a kind of deer.
We had scarcely entered this5 spot
when a singular spectacle was presented
to our view. A large maral had been
hunted down by three wolves, who had
lust seized him, and the ravenOus brutes
were tearing the animal to pieces while
yet breathing. We instantly prepared
to inflict punishment on two of the
beasts, and crept quietly along under
cover to get within range. We sue
ceeded, and were dwelling our rifles,
when Sergae called my attention to two
large bearcoots posing aloft, and pre-
pairing for a swoop. He whispered:
Don't fire; we shall see some grand
sport
Presently one of the eagles shot down
like an arrow, and was almost instantly
followed by the other. When within
about forty yards of the group, the
wolves caught sight of them, and in
stantly stood on the defensive, showing
their long yellow fangs and uttering a
savage howl In few seconds the first
bearcoot struck his prey; one talon was
fixed on his back, the other on the up.
| per part of the neck, completely secur-
ing the head, while he tore out the wolf s
liver with his beak. The other bearcoot
had seized another wolf, and shortly
both were as lifeless as the animal they
| had hunted.
The third brute snarled when his COM
rades set up their wailing howls, and
started for the cover; he was soon with
in range, when puff of smoke rose
from Sergae's rifle, and the wolf rolled
over dead. The report startled the
bearcoots, but we remained concealed.
and they commenced their repast on the
stag. Their attack had been made with
so much gallantry that neither the old
hunter nor myself could raise a rifle
against them, or disturb their banquet.
When satisfied, they started up to some
lofty crags, and Sergae took off the
skins of the poachers, which he intended
keeping trophies bravely won by the
| eagles.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
It's Popularity in Germany and Other Euro
pean Countries.


In reference to the introduction of the
electric light in Germany, DR.. Schilling's
report to the convention of gas technics
contains the following data: In Berlin
there are seventy-one batteries in opera
ton, twenty-six driven by gas motors
and forty-sN by steam. Although the
Edison central stations have not yet been
opened, which will furnish light to fif-
teen thousand lamps, there are already
five thousand lamps in operation. In
Munich there are thirty-four batteries,
furnishing four thousand one hundred
and eighty-five lamps with light, most
of which have thus far been placed in
the royal theatres. Hamburg has TWEEN
ty-ive batteries and one thousand nine
hundred and eighty lamps. In Hanover
the railroad depot, the Palm garden,
and two streets are illuminated by cleo
trio lights. A goodly number of electric
light batteries are in operation inBremen,
Cologne, Leipsic; Dresden, and in many
of the manufacturing centers of Europe.
In Chemnitz there are seventeen, mostly
in the cloth and cotton factories. Gre
field boasts of 1908 electric lamps; FL
berfeld-Barmen of twenty-one batter
les. The total number of electric-light
batteries in Germany amounts to about
400, furnishing light to 21,500 lamps,
against which the number of gas-light
lamps is estimated at 100000. But it
must be considered that the introduce
ton of the electric light is accompanied
with many difficulties, and must conse-
quently be of slow growth. Should it,
for instance, be decided to have Berlin
illuminated with electric light instead of
gas, the proposition would at once
meet with the insurmountable obstacle
that in order to fill the orders the work
men in the factories would have to work
steadily for twenty years. These figures
show that although the Americans are
far in advance of Germany in this mat
ter, the latter is up with England, and
France is left far behind, not one street
yet being Illuminated with electric light
in France.-C Chicago Times.
