Domestic Grain and Flour Markets

Domestic Grain ana Flour
The price OF wheat has made a dis
tinct ard large advance during the past
week. There has not been quite as
much selling by the heavy bears at Chi
cago. and Minneapolis remains a.
besrish as ever. These factors, together
with the enormous visible supply,
Judged even by official report
Standards, constitute the only
Influences for q decline. Europe
has continued TO take wheat
with much freedom, and our exports
have continued at late averages. The
visible supply showed an increase OF
but % 600 bushels, owing to the destruc
ton of 500 600 bushels BY FIRE at Duluth.
So far as the probable English stimulus
Of prices of wheat Is concerned, as
pointed out in another column oy
Bradstreet's London correspondent,
there is not likely TO be any advance IN
pursuit Of quotations In the United
Kingdom prior to January L, despite
the low stocks there and reduced crop
estimates. But later developments
have not confirmed this view. Prices
are higher abroad and at home, and
speculative trading is very active. spot
wheat on Friday was fairly active, the
bulk for export, though TO a fair extent
for investment. The advance was
Kas<c. and the close strong. Option
trading was extraordinarily large and

An Unsatisfactory Experiment..

Dan De Quille in Carson Free Lancet
A miner living in the eastern part of Vlr-
ginia City has long been annoyed OF nights
by the braying of donkey, the property OF
his next-door neighbor, a Chinaman. Now,
there has long been a tradition afioat that
during the Mexican war our soldiers, who
were terribly annoyed in the same way,
made the discovery that when donkey
starts in to bray he always elevates his tail,
and if his tail is kept down he is so discern
forted that he will not open his mouth. By
tying rocks to the tails of all the donkeys OF
nights ''our army in Mexico kept them
silent So our miner the other night affixed
a large stone to the caudal appendage OF the
Chinaman's donkey and retired to rest. An
was quiet for half an hour, when the miner
heard the donkey say ''yee," but went no fur
ther. The miner was just cOngratulating
himself upon the success of his experiment
when the donkey-which was tied up near
the south side of his cabin-gave another
"yee!" At the same instant came crash OF
shakes and fall and smashing OF crockery,
quickly followed by a most triumphant ''yee-
haw, ick ee-hoo-eT The donkey had at last
succeeded in elevating his tail, but in the
mighty effort required the rock had been
hurled as from catapult to the wreck of the
miners frail domicile.

his profession. He is also badly bitten
on the right hand Little Eddy Ryan
was only slightly injured and that through
his clothes He is only four years old, so his
mother accompanies him to Paris with the in
tention Of looking after the other boys as
well. DR.. Billings also accompanies them.
They sailed on Wednesday last in the
French steamer Canada and the way they
were dined before leaving renders it likely
that their sufferings may be greater from
sea sickness than they previously experienced
from the dog bites.
If it can be demonstrated by their trip
that DR.. Pasteur has truly discovered q
remedy for hydrophobia, then this enthu-
siasm will have resulted in proving one of
the valuable discoveries of this century
Even among Partisan physicians there is
considerable diversity of opinion as to
whether Pasteur has yet accomplished that
which he claims. Henri Rochefort in his
paper LIntransigeant treats Pasteur as the
greatest charlatan of the age. These harsh
criticisms are not without their merit, as
they stimulate the great savant to pursue his
investigations until he proves without doubt
the genuineness Of his discovery.
The scare which this event has given New
ark, may be judged from the doings of the
authorities after this affair Details of police
men armed with lassoes started out and
after gaining the confidence of strange
dogs, threw the lassoes around their
necks and dragged the unhappy animals
strangling to police headquarters. large
wagon was transformed into cage
on wheels, and colored man was
procured to follow with this internal ma
chine in the wake of the lassoing policemen
and take the dogs on board. A policeman
with a big revolver was stationed in the city
stables, and his duty is to pour big bullets
into the unhappy creatures as fast as their
captors drag them in. Twenty dogs were
lassoed yesterday and put to death, and be-
fore long dog in the streets of Newark will
probably draw crowd.
Among the six dogs which were supposed
to have been bitten by the first mad dog,
and which were kept alive in cages to be
studied, was a little black spitz. A few
days after their Imprisonment DIR. Runge,
the city veterinary surgeon, who has been
carefully watching the Gagged dogs,
noticed that the black spitz acted
queerly Before noon it showed almost
certain signs of being mad. Its
muscles twitched convulsively, it bit ner
vously and at random at whatever ap-
preached, and refused water. DR.. Herold,
president of the board of health, watched
the dog with City Veterinary Runge. and
both agreed that it would be rabid in a few
hours. The five other dogs who are i'm
prisoned and watched have as yet
shown no signs of madness. The spitz
dog was undoubtedly bitten by the dog
that bit the children, and much relief is felt
at the thought that the little ones are on their
way to Europe, where everything will be

emily. This blind submission in even the
smallest points is we'll shown by the story of
how w. H. quit smoking. 1t has been said
that no Vanderbilt ever owned a yacht, in
consequence of tough recolections of rowing
ferry skiffs against the tide from Staten Is
land to New York. This is mistake. The
commodore himself owned a steam yacht,
the North Star, and took his whole family in
it to Europe in 1853 At that time w. H.
was an inveterate smoker. The old man de-
tested this habit. Billy" said he one day on
Lhipboard, "if you'll stop smoking III givs
you a check for $40, ,000."
"You don't need to pay me-" said the Sol.
''If you want me to stop, that is enough"
He was then smoking, but threw his cigar
over the rail, and never touched another.
1t is hard to tell whether this childlike
obedience was dictated by policy or not, hut il
it was it had its reward. When the commcao
died lie left ''Bll'' a cool SlOO.000,0 900, cut
ling the otner heirs off with a trifie. His in
Justice to his daughters was much remarked

not take care of money. In view of the fact
that his own mother and first wife had
largely helped him to get his start in the
world, this view of the case is rather odd

WILLIAM H. VANDERBILT did about the MIL
lionaire's conditions. He lived about three
weeks longer than the prediction gave him,
that was all.
There are doubtless some who have their
own reasons for wishing that he had lived
vet three weeks longer. One topic of great
interest IN New York at present is the pro-
posed entrance of the Baltimore and Ohio
road into New York city through Staten
Island, by a drawbridge over the Kill Won
Kull This is the strait that separates Staten
Island from the New Jersey shore. At the
very moment when deaths hand touched him
and he fell forward a corpse upon the carpet
Vanderbilt was discussing this enterprise
with Robert Garrett, president of the Balti-
more and Ohio road How exciting the in
terview was nobody knows. 1t may possibly
have hastened his death. The coats of the
arteries in his head were brittle, and an
unusual flow of blood would have burst them,
as in fact happened
On Friday preceding his death he had COM
planned of violent pains in his head. He
had suffered at intervals in the same way for
years, and supposed the pain to be neu-
ralgia.
The old commodore, as he was called
William II. s father-never forgave his son
for not being as splendidly endowed
physically as he himself was. Old Cornelius
was man over six feet high, of magnificent
brain and physique. He had the head TO
command and the body and the will to make
himself obeyed. William H. was delicate
boy from the start. He was born May g.
1921, at New Brunswick, n. j., where his
mother kept tavern and did the cooking with
her own hands, while his father commanded
the little steamboat that ran up and down
the Raritan river between New York and
New Brunswick.
From the old Dutch days the Vanderbilt
family had flourished OF Staten Island. They
grew like oaks on the seashore, toughened by
5he salt fogs and striking their roots deeper
and firmer into the soil by the tossing of the
winds. When William H. Vanderbilt's body
was buried it was carried to New Dorp,
Staten Island, where the family have lived
since before the revolution. Cornelius No.

a-days so much as newspaper reporter,
who didn't pay more tnan that for his board,
would be ashamed to tell where he lived, and
reporters are about the poorest paid persons
in New York. But young Vanderbilt is
health failed him just as he had an oppor-
tunity to become partner in the banking
house. He was obliged to give up all his
prospects.
The commodore was in a high old rage.
He habitually spoke of his son as that -
fool, Bill He believed the young man
would never amount to anything. In a fit
of disgust he settled the pair on seventy
five-acre patch of barren ground on Staten
Island
1t was a poor enough outlook for young
clerk in delicate health. But the one trait in
w. H. Vanderbilts character that stands
out prominently throughout his life is his
submission to his father will. He accepted
his ''lot' in two senses, and let himself be re-
tired to the farm. He did his best there, with
his unfarmlike bringing up and weak health,
but could not get on. He saw some money
must be spent on the land. He did not dare
ask his father in person for money, but
through personal friend he applied to the
old man for loan
Not cent" answered Cornelius the First.
Then. for the only time in his life, appar-
emily, w. H. did something on his own re.
sponsibility. He mortgaged his seventy-fve
acre farm for $4,000. With this he bought
fertilizers, machinery, etc, and began i'm
proving the place. He kept it from his
father, knowing it would put him in pas
sion. But some busybody, to toady to the
commodore, went to him with the whole
story. The father asked "Billn to take a
ride with him behind his lightning trotters.
Out upon the road he said:

WILLIAM ks RESIDENCE.

Ais remains lie in vault at the little
Moravian graveyard at New Dorp.
Eight years ago one of the giant ferry
boats of the regular New York and east
Staten Island line, the Southfield, conveyed
the remains of old Commodore Vanderbilt
across the bay to the island. Dec. II, 1885,
the same ferryboat performed the same
offices for William II.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was building a splendid
mausoleum in the little cemetery. 1t will be
finished in six months. Then his own and
his fathers bones will rest together within it.
William H. Vanderbilt was the richest
man in the world, and he seems to have lost
great opportunity. By one stroke of his
pen he might have given working people
homes in the suburbs, and broken up the III
fernal tenement house system of New York

born here in 1894.


Cornelius Vanderbilt the First began life a.
proprietor of a sailboa4 which conveyed
vegetables, fish and other produce from the
Islands. l., as the New Workers write it
across the bay to the city. He was married
at 49, and he and his wife scrimped and
saved together as though the salvation of the
world depended on it. At length he was
owner of a fleet of sailboats, and had an in
come from them of $1,000 a year. Tho
would have satisfied most plain farm people,
but Cornelius the First wanted the whole
earth. His strongest intellectual trait, if
intellectual it could be called, was his sagacity
He saw early that steamboats, would sup
plant sailboats, and began to trim his par
ticular sails accordingly. He sold his line Of
coast vessels and hired himself out to Thomas
Gibbons at 81, 900 year, as captain Of the
little Raritan steamer. Thus he learned
steamboating, by the same system Of
scrimping himself and pinching other people,
in the course of few years.
Time went on, and once more "Old Cor
neers'' sagacity snuffed coming revolution
in the air. He saw that railroads would
drive out steamboats,, even as steamboats, had
driven out sailing craft. He became a rail-
road owner-the largest in the country.
his plan was 70 Duy rallroau, ana tnen
increase his dividends by tine process known
as "watering stock" Thus he won his mil
lions. He watered the stock of the New
York Central to the amount of so per cent.
the second year he owned it. and made

home himself at midnight one night
In course of time he was gathered to his
fathers 1t was good long time, however.

Tho Power of An Old Song.
TChicacO Ledger.l


There is something about an old song that
ricks man up, body and boots, and carries
him b lck to the long ago, when dime looked
as big as a barrel hoop, and no one can recall
the days of childhood without being warmed
with thoughts of good, and feeling sad re-
grets that those bright moments should have
had an end. An old fiddle with string
missing Will make grandmother forty years
younger in two minutes, if it happens to get
in the neighborhoOd of tune that was whls-
tied by blue-eyed lad who now sleeps on
the hillside under a willow, and the song OF
young mother to the babe on her bosom,
when the shadows of evening were beginning
to gather have been known to bring tears to
the eyes of a man who would dye his hands
with the blood of fellow being for two dol
lars and half.
Music, divinest gift of the gods, what
treasures have thy melodies not given uss
With mouth organ at his lips young man
may feel rich in soul without a cent in his
pocket or a crumb in his stomach, and with
an old cracked piano at her tender mercy
young woman may flood an entire neigh
borhood with memories so precious that
death could have no terror, no matter In
what shape it might come.
Even an accordion as wind-b broken as a
preachers horse may carry Dutchman
bigger than womans trunk from Mil
waukee to Berlin in the twinkling of an eye,
without putting out his pipe and set him
down in the midst of gladness cheap at sl0o
a minute. The whistling of a school boy
may food the heart of an old maid with
memories more precious than beaten gold,
and few squeaking notes on the bugle of q
fish peddler may have power to make mil
lionaire feel as wretched as tramp in a
bath tub.
The settings of torment to ordinary NOR
tails that come out of the end of a flute in the
hands of q cod-blooded amateur across the
way, will brighten the eyes of a man with
beard of snow, reverse the wheels of life, ana
carry him back to days deep buried with the
dust of time Once more he will be young,
rolling in the haymow and sucking eggs on
the sly. He may have won eminence and be
honored of men, but memory holds the glass,
and he sees little barefoot, shock-headed
boy, with holes in the knees of his pantaloons,
drinking from an old moss covered bucket
draught sweeter than fame, and he feels that
fortune has no joy attainable by man equal
to the pure delight of innocence in easy lit
ting garments.
