A FURRY In OIL.

The Standard Company Upsets
Prices on the New York Mar
ket.
New YORK, Jan. 17.-What would
have been called panic in almost any
other exchange occurred on the
petroleum exchange to-day when a de-
Hcline in crude oil certificates carried the
iprice down from 9O5sc to s54c. There
EiWas very little excitement, however, as
1 the brokers there seem lately to regard
| movement of 4iOr 5 cents in asday as
bjsimply natural. The trading was the
iclargeSt for the past two years and the
total sales were nearly 10, COO, 900 barrels.
1.-The operators on the floor of the eX-
81 change had no theory to offer as the
L reason for the decline, but it Is gen.
Eerally believed the Standard Oil COM
lspany has been unloading its holdings.
tsNearly all the traders on the floor, as well
|! as good many outside spectators, have
inbeen loaded up with it. Many OF them,
finding themselves unable to procure
~ additional margin with which to protect
their accounts, threw their Oil over on
Fihe break. and one of the most promi-
itnent buyers on the recent advance, X.
| G. Villas, was the target for comment.
| About noon more margin was called
upon bis purchases of oil, but it was
stated at his Office that he was at home
| sick. The oil on which the margin was
| called was then sold out under the rule.
| Villas, who was once connected with the
Erie road, has until II a. m. tomorrow
| to make good the difference. Some of
| the Standard Oil brokers appeared on
| the floor with supporting orders just
| before the close and steadied the mar
| ket. The feeling in the market at the
close was still very unsettled. Within
less than week the price has fallen
| over IL cents barrel.

KNOWLEDGE FOR WOMEN.
Mrs. Longshore-POtts' First Lee.
ture to Women.


Market hall was well filled yesterday
afternoon with women, who had come
to listen to Mrs. LongshOre-POtts' first
lecture to women only. There were
women with gray hair and spectacles,
and women with pretty matrOply faces
and round chinS half hidden in fluffy
fur; there were yOungish girls, and one
very young girl in round hat; there
was even a sprinkling of small chill
dren, and one SenSible-looking colOred
woman, sedately knitting. The wall
around the stage was covered with
faces and charts of different degrees of
antiquity, and the stage itself had
grizzly and mortuary appearance with
its two skeletons and manikins. More
over there was greWS0me-loOkmg box
on the floor that suggested the last rest
ing place. Mrs. Potts is a stately-lOOk-
ing woman in black silk with EN-
brOidered panels, outrageous cream
colored pOmponS, light gloves, and
gold eyeglasses, and an aspect
of severe majesty. She held
in her hand light rod which she used
in referring to charts and skeletons, as
pointer" is used in blackboard eXer-
ciSeS in SchoOl-rOOm. In a few pref
atory remarks the lady justi-
fed her mission. The subject is
a delicate one, it is true, but no
woman should be ignorant of her physi-
cal makeup, and if this makeup were
generally understood by men as we'll,
woman would suffer far less than she
does. Mrs. Potts went on to say that
knowledge of their physical needs was
no less necessary for men. She depre-
Gated the false ideas of delicacy which
many women have in refusing to learn
and consider the needs peculiar to them,
and while the skeletons penSively dam
gled their toes and the audience breath
lessly waited to hear some delightfully."-
disagreeable truths, Mrs. DIR. Potts took
the stage and said in a clear, strong
voice: Ladies, we are here this after
noon to study ourselves as women, and
to learn various truths on which our
health and happiness greatly depends.
The mind cannot be serene and well
balanced without bodily health, and
intelligently care for our bodies and
our minds" Mrs. Potts periods are Mill
tonic in form, and it frequently appears
that her physiological truths are cOuched
| in blank verse. MANS mission is to he
the father of his child, cherisher of his
wife, protector of both; dignified and
wholesome mission this" went on Mrs.
Potts, sonorously: "WOman's mission
is most noble. and far too often under
valued; to bear and rear children who
shall be the wealth of the home" The
lecture was full of sound common sense,
and showed a thorough knowledge of
| physiology and hygiene laws. and the
course will undoubtedly be of great use
to many women, who are, like the great
majority of women, ignorant or careless,
or both. Mrs. DIR. Potts lectures each
afternoon this week to ladies, at 8
o'clock. DR.. Harrison, who accompa-
MES Mrs. DR.. Potts, will lecture to men
only, in Market hall, Thursday evening.
He comes highly Endorsed by the East
ern press. His lecture will be free.

considerable anxiety is manifested
concerning the condition of the people
at Browns Valley" said w. j. Munroe,
banker of Morris, who arrived in the
city last evening, ''and especially since
there have been no roads opened
to that place since Christ
mas. just before / left home I
heard that all the fuel in the round
house of the railroad company had been
consumed and that the sheds were being
demolished and burned by the inhabit-
ants. FOrty-three carloads of wood con-
signed to Browns Valley people are
blockaded at Morris, and the suffering
on this account cannot be eS-
timated. The day that L left
Morris a man living about two
miles from there came in on skis and,
after filing sack with coal from the
elevator, tramped back to his family
with the much-needed fuel. And that
was only one of many cases that heard
of. Snow is banked solid from two to
four feet on level, and the country
roads are impossible everywhere"

"A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
A London Correspondents Story
of the AnSlo-American CONNER
Cial EnterpriSe.

A London Correspondents Story
of the AnSlo-American CONNER
cial Enterprise.
The Glasgow (Scotiand) Weekly of
Dec. 81 had an article from its London
correspondent containing some state
mentS of large sized enterprise, part
of which had been heard of before in
this section of the Northwest. Here is
the story:
For some months past there have been
rumOrs floating about i'll regard to an
Anglo-American commercial scheme
which, if it attains to maturity. as hear
that it is likely soon to do, will prove
one of the most gigantic enterprises of
modern times. 1t is said that several
American milliOnaireS are interested in
the scheme, while on this side of the
Atlantic the names of the ROthSchlldS,
the Duke of DeyonShire, the Duke OF
Westminster, and other wealthy men
are associated with it. 1t is very di fiji
cult to CLEAN any detailed information
of the scheme, as the promoters are very
reticent. 1 understand, however, that
they intend to erect granarieS, stores,
pOrk-curing establishments, and cheese
and butter factories on sites convenient
to the line of the Minnesota North
western railway, which was formerly
the Chicago, Kansas City d st. Paul
line. Ali kinds of American produce,
such as flour, fruit, ham, bacon, cheese
and butter, as well as live cattle, are to
be run along this line to Chicago. thence
by the Baltimore IL Ohio railway to
New York. A bridge is to be built con-
Meeting the mainland with Staten
Island, where large docks will be con-
Structed. From this port the products
of the United States will be carried by
steamers specially built for the COM
pany, and landed at Barrowin-FurnesS,
of which the Duke of DevonShire is the
principal proprietor, besides being
president of the Furness railway. At
Barrow the company propose building
alongside the docks abattOirS for Slaugh-
tering the cattle Immediately after land
ing, tanneries for preparing the hides
and factories for making margarine
out of the tallow. Large ware
houses are also to be erected at
Barrow, and thence the food products
will be distributed throughout Great
Britain by means of retail stares. which
will be opened in all the leading towns.
l hear that the engineering works and
shipbuilding yard at Barrow are also to
be carried on under the auspices of the
new company, with Mr.. Bryce Douglas.
of the well-kHown Fairfield Shipbuild-
ing company on the Clyde, as engineer.
Mr.. NOrdenfelt, the inventor of the
famous machine guns, and at present
associated with Lord Armstrong; ord
nance factory OH the Tyne, is named as
the manager of the works. The Roth
schilds will likely be the financiers OF
the new company, whose aim is to
supply consumers direct without incur
ring any middlemen'S charges. There
is certainly plenty of money at the back
of the concern, and if it goes on it will
prove formidable competitor to ordi.
nary merchants.

Ideas on the Right to Practice
Medicine as Stated by the Lect-
ureSS.
DR.. Mrs. LOngshore-P Potts says that
she is placed in false and unenviable
position by the statement that ''she Wig
orouSly denounced the laws limiting
the practice of medicine to certain
class" She claims that ''the only de-
dnction to be made from the statement
is that she denounced legislation gov
erning the practice of medicine" when
she sis and always has been an advo-
cate of such legislation" She thus
defines her position: 81 opposed the
existence of separate and oftentimes
conflicting laws in the various states.
Congress should enact law governing
practice throughout the country.
the law to be applied by disinterested
body, say comprised of lawyers; that
diplomas granted by colleges in good
standing be recognized. and persons
having no medicinal educOtion be pro-
hibited from practicing. | opposed the
application of any such law by ply
sicians, which doubtless caused the
wrong impression. Physicians cannot
always be entrusted to act justly to-
wards applicants for registration, as
they fear competition, and l have often
known physicians of undoubted ability
to be prosecuted"

SOME RANDOM REMARKS.
What Local Men of Prominence
Were Talking About Yesterday.

81 believe the true principle for the
United States is free trade with all the
world" said Assistant State Superin-
tendent Pendergast yesterday. 1.-THE
revenue for the support of the govern
ment should be raised by an income
tax and the rich ought to pay it. The
poor man with six or eight children
ought to have every chance to supply
their wants. The farmers are the people
who need protection, and this can
only be gained in one of two ways-by
raising the price of wheat or by ell
abfing them to procure what they must
buy at the lowest prices. BY no law
can the price of his wheat be raised
that is fixed by the foreign market, and
why should not the price of his clothing
and machinery be fixed in the same
place? | believe IN doing the thing
gradually, however, and, being strong
Republican, |, of course, think that
party will in the end bring about such
revolution"
1.-THE GLOBE is the Chicago Times of
this country" said G.. b. Shove, of the
Millers' and Manufacturers Insurance
company, yesterday. 1.-THE insurance
men of Minneapolis all take it Just for
the thorough and complete reports of
all fires. great and small, everywhere
throughout the Northwest. These
things are of great use to the class l
represent, and we appreciate them.
The GLOBE is getting there"
Attorney General Clapp, while not
ebiecting to strong individual traits in
a person, sometimes kicks when a man
carries the thing too far. He tells with
much indignation about man who had
occasion to sign his name to legal in
strument in his Office lately. The fell
low made several preliminary f1Ourishes
with his hand, then he let her go, writ
ing the last name first, and then, with a
sort of scroll intended to be ornamental,
ran his pen around to the front and
made his first name. The general says
the fellow looked at the signature with
an admiring air, and then asked to Dor
row 25 cents with which to buy drink.
