Wool Markets.

PH1IAp;gLRHIA-Wool- market is quiet
and prices unchanged.
ST. LOUIS Wool steady and unchanged; re-
ceipts. 454, 558 pounds.
NEW YoRK-Wool firm and quiet; domestic
leeces, 32@3Sc; pulled, 2S@S9c; Texas. l4@Sc.
BosToN-The demand for domestic wool has
been moderate I'D the sales have been only
lO02 100 pounds, while of foreign grades about
$4,000 pounds have been sold. There is quiet
firm feeling here, owing to the scarcity of old
wool and the high coyt of new. Pulled woods are
about the only grades of which there is fair
supply to select from. and sales of these have
been made at 3O@S7c for super, and at 25@2Sc
for extra. All kinds of washed feeces are in
reduced supply and are held firmly,
but nothing of consequence has been
done. About $4,000 pounds of new
spring Texas wool have been sold. principally
at 22624c, although some small lots of choice
medium sold at 35QNc- In new spring Cali
fornia wool there have been sales Of
10000 pounds at I736@2oc. Territory and
Oregon woods are quiet and steady.
Ohio and Michigan fat sheep sold some extent
at 22024c Australian wool rules strong and
meets with fair demand at 87Q423zc. One
hundred thousand pounds Of Montevideo sold
at 2Sc, and not more than this will now be paid
by manufacturers. Carpet woods are without
material change.

Revelations Which Destroyed Pieaeans
RecoIIectfons of Squirrel Pie.
HartwelI (Ga.) SUM-
We had gone into winter quarters near
Richmond. Every day an old lady would
drive out to the camp in a wagon loaded
with cakes, pies, etc., which she disposed Of
to the haIf-famished soldiers at exorbitant
prices. One day she came out, and among.
other edibles was squirrel" pie about the
size of a cheese. Several of our boys
clubbed together and boughtit. The woman
pocketed the money, and was waiting on
some other customers. The men had the
pie about half consumed, when the old
lady's little boy, who accompanied, her be-
gan to cry as il his heart would break.
The little fellow was fayorite with the
soldiers, and, ofeourse, we tried to paeify
him. He would not tell US what he was
crying for Finally the old lady's patience
was exhausted, and told the boy if he did
not tell the men what he was crying about
she would take the wagon whip and wear
him out. With the tears still streaming
down his face, he said, between his sobs:
"Mammy-s-s-said if I'D ll-Iet her kill
dem pup-puppies to make dat pie she'd
gi-give me de money, an she done g-g-gone
and put it in her own pocket-boo-hoo-oo !"
This information came too late, as BY this
tune the pie had vanished from sight.
Although there were several attempts made
to cause that squirrel pie" to reappear,
they were all Intellectual. The old lady
mounted her wagon and drove away and, We
never saw her again.

Local Stocks In the Dumps-BrOkers Afraid

There was no vim in the stock market at
either of the sessions yesterday. In the morr-
ing the only transactions were in Philadelphia
Gas, 80 shares of which found purchasers at
3% CHARTERS Gas was wanted at 493z, and
Wheeling at Sl1S. For Ohio Valley Gas SO was
asked. There were bids of "a for Electric, but
1t was held point higher. There was fair
demand for fractions. 225s being bid for Gen.
tral, 69S for Citizens, and 81 for Pittspurg, but
they were held from one to two points higher.
The large business done by these roads on
Decoration Day encouraged holders of the
stock to stand out for extreme prices, and they
refused to make concessions. Switch and Sig
nal was offered at 25, and La Noria at ~.
Captain Barbour was surrounded~b q per-
sons, brokers and spectators, when he announced
the market open in the afternoon. Itwas even
more apathetic than in the morning, the only
sale being four shares of Philadelphia Gas at
37I. The other gassers were stronger. Trac-
tions were weaker. Electric could have been
sold at 533z, but holders had higher views.

CLIMBING THE ElFPEL TOWER.
One Who Has Been There Describes the
View From the Top.

One Who Has Been There Describes the
View From the Top.
A correspondent of the Manchester eng. }
Courier, who made the ascent of the tower,
says that while resting midway up to
breathe. the apparently bottomless depth
below, the awful height above, give singu-
lar sensations of helplessness. The maze of
stays and girders seems hopelessly confused.
Though the hand-rail is high enough, still
there are thoughts of going over which are
anything but pleasant. However, perse-
verance is well repaid when one steps out
on to the top platform. A mountain 100
feet high is thought to be merely hill, but
there is no comparison between ], 900 feet of
mountain and ], 900 feet'of Eiffel. The alb
sence of any ground falling away from ones
feet, or of surrounding mountains, gives a
sense of isolation and unnaturalness new to
any but a balloonist or steeplejack.
1t takes few moments before one can
muster nerve to walk on the edge of the
platform and look over. You must have a
strong head to do that. An apparently
smooth band of metal (though it is really a
network of bars) falls away at a steep angle
to the ground. There, huddled together,
look to be few skylights glistening in the
sun. In reality these are the Exhibition
buildings. and it takes some time before one
can realize that that winding rivulet is the
silver Seine. The Pont de Jena is like a
straw, and the other bridges become less and
less defnable.
The overpowering sense Of ones own in
significance for time prevents a recogni-
ton of familiar buildings That gilt button
is the magnificent dome Of the Invalides;
that stump of sealing wax is the monument
in the Place de la Bastile; the Pantheon
looks like new halfpenny; the towers of
Notre Dame are scarcely distinguishable;
st. Augustin might be anything, and the
Arc de triomphe requires careful identifca-
tion.S Paris is but mat in carpet of green
and blue. The only distinguishable moving
objects are small clouds of white smoke
travelling slowly along-the railways them
selves not even existing in a line. Above
all, an Almighty silence, which is most op-
pressiye,

THE SERPENT SEASON.
1t Opens Early This Year Mt Cold Spring ON
the Hudson.

the Hudson.
The sea serpent has made its annual ap-
pearance in the upper Hudson. Nathaniel
Lyons, an old boatman who has retired
from active service and is visiting tempor-
arily the pretty village of Cold Spring. says
that on Sunday afternoon he was walking
along the railroad track near the river,
when he heard q commotion in the water.
Looking around he saw scaly, round
body as large as barrel, which was alter
nately arched above and concealed beneath
the water and laid directly across the river.
The reptile was evidently trying to turn
around, and the channel in the highlands
was so narrow as to make it difficult. Once
the big body was raised about 25 feet and q
forked tail spread like the foresail OF a
schooner, described half circle near the
east shsre and churned up the water until
it was white with foam.
Lyons says the spectacle was terrifying,
and he watched it with his heart in his throat
unable to move. The serpent's head must
have laid near the west shore, he thinks,
for he did not see it. Finally, the big snake
made the turn and then sank out of sight.
Lyons swears that he had not been drinking
because it was Sunday, and he could not
buy a drop of rum anywhere.

ANOTHER THEORY,
The Hungarian Poet, Maurice JoknI, Tells
Why the Crown Prince Killed Himself.

The Hungarian Poet, Maurice Joknl, Tells
Why the Crown Prince Killed Himself.
The Hungarian poet, Maurice Jokxi, who
was an intimate friend and companion OF
the late Prince Rudolph, says the London
Globe, has just made a contribution to the
solution of what is still the mysterious trag-
edy of Meyerling. The poets theory is that
the Crown Prince, seeing public opinion
going against what he conceived to be his
mission, deliberately sacrificed himself to
the peace of the world. In support of this
idea he cites two scraps OF conversation, in
one of which Prince Rudolph, referring to
the floating rumors about his domestic re-
lations, said: 81 love my family beyond
everything, and tell those who say the op-
posite that they do not speak the truth. Z"
The other was: "Ahi How 1 would liketo
die on field of battle. War is inevitable,
and therefore, would that it would come
quickly! The longer it is delayed the worse
it will be. Either we will conquer, or we
will fall with glory" This settles the ques-
tion in the mind of the poet, but we fear the
unpoetic world will require more definite
evidence.

THE STUDY OF DEAD LANGUAGES.
Nineteen Out Of Twenty Young Men Have No
Use for Them.

Nineteen Out Of Twenty Young Men Have No
Use for Them.
I. Estimating in the Forum the relative
Importance in the education of an English
speaking man OF the ancient and the mod
ern languages Prof. John Stuart Blackie
says:
while Latin and Greek will never cease
to hold their places in the front rank of
education agents it is an anachronism of
the grossest kind to insist on prolonged
study of these two dead languages as the
necessary basis for the general culture of a
well-educated gentleman in the latter end
of this nineteenth century; the more SO, that
experience has taught that 10 out f20 young
men who have been driven through this
routine of the dead languages at school in
after-life make no use OF them, and the
fruits which their boasted classical train
ing mas to show are in the inverse ratio of
the labor spent upon it.
