Opera House on Wed. evening last,
where appropriate and interesting
services were conducted by Bishop
Hare, assisted by the clergy present
and attended by q house full of
Father Hines friends. The inter-
est manifested on this occasion was
so marked on the part Of Bishop
Hare, the clergy and the host Of
friends Of Father Hines present as
to clearly indicate how greatly he is
esteemed and respected. His life
has been n remarkable one, made up
of incessant labor and toll, wherein
he has battlcd fearlessly for the truth
and his God, and the harvests that
have been garnered as the results Of
his labors must be a source of great
qualification to him. In his 85th
year, he indicates no sign Of laying
down his work, but TO the contrary,
appears energetic as ever, always
busy, doing good wherever he can,
honored and respected by his fel-
low townsmen. We wish him very
many happy returns. There we're.

President. Secretary.
The WaRroVl Fire Insurance Co.
OF Watertovn, OAK.
PAID UP CAPITAL, $1,000

To cur patrons. and the public generally:
We are aware that great prejudice exists
against Dakota Insurance Companies, because
IN the past year or two some Dakota companies
have failed. and not acted honorably towards
she insured. We, however, claim for the Wat
ert0wn Fire Insurance Company this adherence:
All the companies that have failed were organ
lied under a law which did not require a secnr-
cd capital. while the law under which we are
chartered compcls us to pt serve secure. and
undiminished SiOO. 90 of absolutely safe and I'M
Impaired securities. We have no desire to make
comparisons. but an investigation shows that
for the amount ut risk. we possess more secured
assets. which are good beyond question than
most Of the old time companies which justly re-
tain the confidence Of the public.
Aside from all this, VIC are soon to locomotive
states. and II our own Insurance institutions, or
gained under the present law as is ours, are de-
MED the confidence Of our WI people, those
who would come amongst MS will naturally infer
That Nil other class Of institutions are 10 more
entitled to confidence. and tie good lame ei the
two Dak0ta's will be hard to regain. II we
would prosper as states. we must encourage our
home Institutions. The Watertown is sound to
the core-leserving Of your patronage. and Da-
kotixns should help to build up instead of tear
down all worthy institutions sach as ours.
II you have u policy In our company we ask
you to renew 1t Mt It's expiration. If you have
none. when you require Insurance see our agent
and have him write you a policy.
Yours Respectfully,
4. Il. F~AHNEsToCK, Secretary.

Prof. Huxley Laments Our Ignorance
on the Subject of Sea Fisheries.
Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Jan. 8.-Prof. Huxley, as inspector
OF fisheries, puts forth an appeal in favor of
closing certain areas against trawling for
few years in order TO obtain definite evidence
of the effects Of trawling. He laments the
ignorance on the subject of sea fisheries, even
among the officials of some of the fish culture
establishments, but rejoices that in a few
years, thanks to the labors Of the Marine Bio
logical association and the United States fish
commission, something like solid foundation
for future Legislative action or inaction will be
laid
The demand for Macaulay's works is so large
that Longmans have at last published a popu-
lar edition at price little more than the cost
of the paper and binding. Writing recently to
friend who wrote an essay in defense of Ma
caulay, Trevelyan said: 1T is extraordinary
how the world by the increasing demand for
Macaulay's writings shows its agreement with
You and how few critics write in that opinion"
Irevelyan proceeds to say he has Just come
away from rather rowdy debate in the house
of commons and, as sometimes happened. had
a great rush of regret at having abandoned
literature for politics

From Wall Street To-day.

NEW YORK. Jan. S-The stock market was
weak at the opening this morning, the declines
from last evenings final figures extending to g
per cent, though Pacific Mail and Rock Island
were exceptions, each being up Il per cent
There was little more animation than at that
time of day during the past few days, but it
was almost entirely confined to Reading and
New England. which were unusually active,
while the general list was dull and uninterest-
ing as usual. st. Pauls, Union Pacific, and
Northwestern showed some activity, but with
Reading and the remainder of the list their
fluctuations were made within a range of only
q per cent, while the dealings were utterly de-
void of feature of any kind. New England was
the only stock showing any movement, and it
developed some weakness in the early trading,
losing q per cent, a portion of which was after
ward regained. The activity even in the lead
ing shares disappeared toward the end Of the
hour, and at IL o'clock the market was very
dull and steady, at about opening price all
through the list

trees, shade trees and forest trees in jefferson
and st. Lawrence counties were DESTROYED.
Telegraph and telephone wires are down and
many poles are broken and some were pulled
out of the ground by the heavy weight of ice

wires have been repaired so as 10 afford COM
munication south and east all kilograms TO ST.

Along the st. Lawrence the most ruin has been
wrought. In some cases branch telegraph and

lent to new line.

NOT BEING GRANTED A RESTORATION OF WAGES a

New YORK, Jan. s.-There were few signs of
business in the carpet factory of Higgins Co.

that their demand for a restoration of the
prices in effect prior to December IL. had not
been acquiesced in, and word was accordingly
sent to the employees in the spinning, twisting
and reeling departments, as well as TO those in
the doubling department in the worsted mill.
There was Immediately an exodus from the
factory and soon only those whom the COM
mittee permitted to remain at work were in the
factory.
The officials in charge of the establishment
declined to give any information, but the em-
ploying agent asserted that there were enough
hands still in the factory TO keep the work
going on about as usual The girls, he said,
wanted holiday and took it, The strikers are
now holding mass meeting TO determine upon
their future action.

visions Of the Interstate Law.
CHICAGO, Jan. s-A local paper says: In spite
OF Judge Cooley's recent sdmonition 10 rail-
road managers in regard 10 the evils Of the
ticket-scalping trade, the trouble has assumed
greater proportions than before. The promise
that no more tickets should be placed in .
scalper's hands and those in their possession
should be withdrawn has not been kept Not
only have the tickets not been Withdrawn but
more have been placed with them. month
ago Tcket-Broker Frank had $50 tickets from
Chicago TO Kansas City. which were sold To-
him by the Wabash at s6.25 each. although the
tariff rate was Sl250. The other Kansas City
lines had only few tickets on the market The
Wabash tickets were found 30 be unlimited
Receiver McNulta tried 10 buy them. but Prank
refused TO sell. Before suit was brought
against Frank conference was held between
the Wabash people and Frank. and il was given
out that the latter had agreed 10 return the un-
limited tickets. II now transpires however,
that a deal was made which virtually places
Frank in better position than before. The
nine hundred and fifty unlimited Wabash
tickets in his hands were redeemed at &c. IS
but in exchange each of the five roads between
Chicago and Kansas City placed with him two
hundred limited tickets dated sometime ahead
at Sc 25, so that Frank has now about Loo
tickets over all of the lines between Chicago
and Kansas City. while before he had only nine
hundred and fifty over the Wabash. The
reason assigned by the Wabashs competitors
for entering into this deal was that
it was the only means by which the
Wabash tickets could be gotten out
Of the market, and by which all roads could be
placed on an equal footing. Now in order 10
enable Frank and the other ticket brokers to
sell their tickets at large profit the railroads
have advanced their rates TO $3.50. The scalp
ers sell the tickets which they got for 6.25 for
sll, or Sl.50 less than people who 60 20 the
regular railroad Offices have TO pay. All the
scalpers are said to be well stocked with cheap
| tickets, and there is no immediate prospect %
their supplies rnnning short. The interstate
commerce commission should at once take
steps TO compel the railroads TO make the same
rates to the public as their tickets are being
sold by the scalpers

Fraudulent Bonds.

CONTROLLER DURHAM DECIDES THAT THEY CAM
NOT BE EXCHANGED.
Recently two $500 District of Columbia 3.65
per cent coupon bonds were sent over to the
Treasury from Riggs 4 Co.'S bank for exchange
for registered bonds of the same amount
Upon examination it was found that the bonds
bearing the numbers on these had been re-
deemed in April and that the numbers on the
bonds had been changed. No. 1904 had orig
inally been 11.154, and No. LISA had been
1,134. The records of the Office showed that
these two numbers had been reported some
years ago as having been stolen from Mr.
Prud'homme.
CAN'T BE EXCHANGED.
Controller Durham has addressed a letter to
Treasurer Hyatt relative to the matter. The
question presented by the treasurer was whether
he could legally issue the registered bonds in
exchange as requested. In reply to this Judge
Durham answers in the negative, on the ground
that the numbers of the bonds having been
changed from other numbers, the bonds are
not genuine.
When asked as to the disposition of the
bonds, the controller said that they should
properly be returned to Judge Macarthur,
who is the executor of the Fuller estate. TO
which they belonged, to be used in the settle
ment of the estate. The administrator might
then, he said, 20 before the courts or Congress

Cause of the Failure of Keefer Milling
Company at COvington.

CINCINNATI, Jan. S.-The failure of the
Keefer milling company, of Covington, yester-
day, following so closely on the death of ID.
Keefer, the senior member has further sensa-
tonal phases The suit brought by the First
national bank and attachment made by il to
secure its claim reveals that between Decem-
ber IL and % last the bank received drafts from
the Keefer milling company drawn upon va
rious firms in Philadelphia and New York, il
being supposed that the drafts in each case
represented a consignment of -four They ag-
gregated about $4,000. Not one of these
drafts was honored, no consignment having
been made. The dishonored drafts were made
and presented by George Keefer, the secretary
of the company. His father, now dead was
notified of the facts before his death. and there
is some ground for the belief that this knowl-
edge hastened his death. He was found dead
in his bed, and the coroner stated that death
was from apoplexy. George Keefer is not now
in Covington. 1t is said he used the money in
wheat speculation, in which he was loser. but
nothing definite is knownon the subject He
has been with his father from boyhood and has
always borne an excellent reputation. His
whereabouts are not known.
