Weeklv Review 81 rrada.

NEW YORK, February 18.-R. G. Dunn s.
Co.'S. weekly review of trade says:
Actual improvement in business cOntin~
ues. The upward movement IN prices which
was noticed last week has not been sus-
tanned, the general average for commodities
being about = of L per cent. lower than a
week ago.
The coal trade is depressed by over pro-
duction and cutting of rates.
Wheat has advanced I cent for the week
Atlantic exports were, in five weeks ending
February 2, only 242.453 bushels, against
], 764, 333 last year, and of fiOur 5S3, $50 bar
reis. against ], O92, 532 last year This COM
pared with exports of 10, liz, 335 bushels OF
corn during the same weeks against II, 72Ss-
567 last year shows the foreign trade has
bsen affected by the speculation which holds
prices OF wheat at Chicago far above prices
at the sea board.
Corn has advanced but half a cent with
sales of 5000, 900 bushels and oats are un-
changed, Oil speculation has lifted the price
419c with sales off 60 200 barrels here.
The dry goods operations as ia other
branches of bu mess are to some extent re-
tarded by the close scrutiny Of credits, which
the sloWness Of COLLECTION in many quarters
prompts, but the reports from the interior
in that respect are this Wesk rather more Ia
! vOrable than before.

Her score at that hour was 584 miles. Miss
Won Blumen was good second, with 564
miles to her credit. Between Miss Cakes
and Miss Smaller, however, there was q
lively contest for third place. The former
had covered Sol miles at the hour named,
and the latter 493. The next competitor,
Miss Lewis, was twenty miles behind. The
fight for third place aroused much enthusi-
asm and every squirt on the part of the con-
testants was loudly applauded. Among the
others there was no special efforts made to
beat one another. Occasionally, however,
one of ths straggleFs would come in contact
with some of the leaders and for lap or

The Oklahoma Gold Find.

GAINESVILLE, TEX, February 18.-EXcite-
ment is running high at Purcell. I. T., Over
the recent discovery Of a number of old
placer mines two miles east Of Purcell, in
the Choctaw nation, among the hills along
the South Canadian river. These mines
had been worked in past ages, as shown By.
various evidences. Miners went to work.
and after few hours labor succeeded IN
max ng some valuable discoveries, and BY
night had taken out large amount Of gold.
WICHITA, KAN. February ia spsoiaI
1. T., says: Excitement runs high here.
over the finding Of several old placer god
mines IN Oklahoma, acrcss the river from
this place, about twenty miles distant.
Miners camps are visible from here. Mr.
Parker, one of the miners, came over and
gave a full description Of the mines. He
eaid they we're worked and tImbered years
ago, for the timber had rJtted away and
there were trees two feet through growing
ont Of the mouths of the drifts. Mr. Parker
has great hopes and expectations for the
mines. He said they got gold ont Of the
first pan they washed. There are about
twenty miles of country adjacent 60 She
mines which looks favorable to the miners
picks They arc probably old Spanish
mines.
IIater.-Since the gold fever has taken
possession of tins piac= nearly every citizen
Of this town has staked OF q golo claim OK
intends to. The miners are bringing IN
considerable pure gold just as 1t comes from

"stuck up, " and could not appreciate a
man, Just because he was in "prep-
dom" (Theophilus always took pains to
call himself a man now.) Our friend
was suffering the fate of many boy
who goes to college without any definite
aim or desire for learning. He was
rapidly losing all the capacity for use
fitness that ever was in him, while he
still kept all his insufferable conceit.
He paid very little attention to his les
sons, but loitered about the a6ceets of
the town, his hat little to one side
and his head thrown back, seemingly
determined to show that at least one
man" appreciated him.
This conduct was not without its
effect on the tempers of his school
mates It did not take the BOYS long
to decide that Deadfurro must be
taught a lesson. He was entirely too
fresh, they said, and needed a little
salt At the particular college where
our hero's lot was cast it was the pre-
rogative of the sophomore class to IN
hict the punishment decreed by the
general sentiment of the body
polite of the college. Accordingly
Thee philus was lured out into the

bers Of that class on the pretense Of
having some great fun; and when the

Uelv Charges.

ST.. LOUIS, February 19.-The Republic
says that it has transpired late that the leg
islative committee which had been here sew
eral days investigating the state insurance
department have discovered that the de-
partme Mt not only under the present COM
missioner, Walter Carr, but also under his
predecess or Mr., Williams, has been adj
ministered in a very eXtraYagant if not cor
rupt manner, that unduiy high salaries and
exorbitant attorneys fees had been paid,
and that insolvent insurance companies,
whose affairs were in charge of the depart
ment have actually been looted.
Commissioner Carr Indignantly denies all
these charges, maintaining that the depart
ment under his administration has been
conducted in a business like way, ard as to
the insolvent companies. he says their ef-
fairs are in the hands of the court and he
simply obeyed the orders of the court. The
committee will present their report to the
legislature next week. It Is also stated that
the committee wi probably recommend toe
adjustment of the board Of underwriters of
this city as being against the interests of the
insurers.

Moorish Justice.

Blundering men, instead of admitting
their possibility, try to excuse them
selves by throwing the blame upon
others. A Singhalese story illustrates
the tendency of human nature, and
also the French proverb, "He accuses
who excuses himself" One nighl
thieves broke into a rich mans house
and carried off all his valuables. On
being arrested they excused their crime
by saying that they were blameless, as
the walls of the house were so badly
built as to tempt them to break through.
The mason was therefore to blame for
the robbery. The mason was brought
before the magistrate. "The fault is
not mine, " said he "bub the cooIie who
made the mortar badly" The coolie
had sold him the cracked vessel, in
which he could not carry sufficient
water to mix the mortar properly. The
potter explained that the blame should
not be laid upon him out upon q pretty
woman, who, passing while he was
making the vessel, so riveted his atten-
tion that he forgot about his work
The woman protested that the gold
smith was at fault. He had failed to
send home her earrings and she
passed the potter's shop on her way to
get them. The goldsmith, not being
able to offer an excuse for his neglect,
was sentenced to be hanged. His
friends begged the Judge to spare him,
as he was sick and ill-favored and
would not make pretty spectacle.
@But somebody must be hanged, said
the Judge. His attention was there
fore called to a fat Moor In a shop, op-
pOsite, and the Judge ordered him to
be hanged ia the goldsmith's stead
SIX female barbers ply the razor in
