DULUTB, Mimi, Sept. 13.-Wheat showed
fluctuations OF 80 here to-day. The curb

quantities Of wheat reported on track here
this morning, the reports OF q continued
heavy movement during the week and for some
time to come. together with the small demand
made nearly everybody il Duluth bears, and
offerings were very free. Buyers were there,
but they were comparatively few in numbers
and none Of them wanted very large Quanti-
ties. The opening was sc below Saturdays
close and there w2S a further decline OF &c
before the upward movement began. The
situation just before the close was thus sum-
married by Duluth operator: "COnSols are
Lice lower than the early reports. French
rentes are 81 centimes lower, causing
shorts TO cover. The large receipts here
prevented an advance" On the other
hand messages to another firm said that
that there was no decline reported in consOls,
rs had been sent out, but that the shorts had
largely oYersold and their efforts at covering
were the prime cause of the advance. Cash

CITY ELECTIONS.
The Methods by Which They Are Con-
Quoted In German municipalities.

The Methods by Which They Are Con-
Quoted In German municipalities.
A striking feature Of the German
municipal system Is its entire indc-
pendence of national politics. No Is.
sues but those arising out Of municipal
questions are allowed to influence the
city elections. Every male inhabitant,
twenty-four years Of age, has right
to vote on municipal questions, pro-
vided he has his own household and is
not dependent upon father or mother;
that he has not received aims from the
public funds within twelve years; that
he has paid all municipal dues; that
he occupies house or pursues trado
with two employees; that he pays an
income tax or class tax. Under one
or another of these five conditions all
industrious persons in the city are in
cluded. That all voters should count
equally is regarded as unbusinesslike.
The arrangement adopted to meet this
point of view is this: Voters are di-
vided into three classes, each of which
elect one-third of the City Council.
To the first class are assigned so many
of the largest taxpayers as pay one
third of the taxes assessed; to the sec
ond so many as in the aggregate pay
tho second third of the taxes; to tho
third class belong all not included in
tho first and second. Each Of the
three classes elects forty-two members
of the Council. its influence upon ques-
tions of finance being kept in strict
cqality with It's tax payments. The
City Council of Berlin has long been
conspicuous for the educational and
financial standing of its members.
Election to it is accounted an honor to
which the ablcst men of the city as

The Last of the orusiniens.

The last Prince Of Grusinien has just
died at St. Petersburg in very straitened
circumstances. OF late years the Prince
lived quite poor in suburb of the city.
Prince George Of Grusinein was the last
representative of once powerful house.
As youth he went to st. Petersburg,
where he attracted much attention
through his beauty, the elegance of his
carriage, and the splendor Of his
diamonds. He kept great house, and
became renowned for hospitality and be-
nevolcnce. On a single day, however,
his wealth left him, and eventually ho
took couple of small rooms and lived
on modest pension allowed him by the
Government. He bore his reverse of
fortune without complaining, even man.
aging to devote a small portion of his
small pension to the maintenance of less
favored friends. A court lady of his
mother, for instance, was provided with
both home and necessaries for long
time, and this dependent, ninety years
of age, ministered to the Prince during
his last hours. Mall Gazette.
