THE MARKETS.

NEW YORK. October 9.-The stock market today was still more active than on any day this week, and was irregular and feverish from opening to close, with the result of leaving the list irregularly changed, gains and losses being very balanced, with few important changes either way. By noon all improvement of the forenoon had been wiped out, and la ter the selling became moro concentrated and certain stocks were paid special attention to, with the result that before o'clock declines had been established extending to 4per cent. Toward the close sharp rally occurred, and not only were losses in actually weak stocks regained in most cases, but actual gains over opening figures were established in many others Final changes are about equally divided between gains and losses

Evolution of the GaIIOws.

Evidently the strong arm of tree serv-
ed as the primitive gallows, and such was
in use at a very early period In mans
history. In the book of Esther we read
that Hannah was hanged on the tree that
had been prepared for Mordecai. In more
recent times, in ancient ballads and ac-
count of the gallows, references are made
to the fatal tree" the "gallows tree"
the g triple tree. " ''Tyburn tree, etc. a
tree was not, however, always found con-
veniently placed to convert it into a gal
lows, and thus the introduction of the
simple construction, consisting of two up
right posts and a transverse beam, the
principle of which has not been materially
altered from its first introduction.
The gallows at times differ in height,
which was increased in accordance with
the Nervousness of the crime of the culprit
These elevated erections were made use of
at the executions Of the regicides in the
seventeenth century, and thus it was that
long ladders were required In carry ing out
the last extremities of the law When
ladders were used the executioner mounted
one, and the culprit the other. The rope
having been adjusted to the cross-beam,
the executioner would descend and remove
his ladder, leaving the condemned wretch
on the other, engaged in his last appeal
for mercy. These prayers were at times
exceedingly prolonged, after finishing
which the miserable wretch was expected
to throw himself off the ladder, and thus
to some extent become his own execution
er.
Courage, however, would often fail at
the last moment, and his prayers would be
continued for long time. When it was
evident that the cuJprit was praying
against time, the executioner would
stealthily reach the ladder on which he
stood and overthrow it, and the body
would, consequently, then be swinging In
the throbs and agonies of death. At one
period it was customary to carry out the
execution of criminal as near as possible
to the spot where the crime for which he
suffered was committed.

WEYAUwEGA, Wis.-Word- was re
ceived Thursday from Manawa, this
county, that Monday morning neighbors
discovered smoke curling from the loca-
ton of the residence of a Mr. Stay. about
a mile north of that place. On investi-
cation the house was found in ruins and
the charred remains of the old man, who
was known to have been living there alone
for some time past, were found near the
door. The head was severed from the
body and found in the cellar below. The
legs and arms were also severed and
at little distance from the trunk
The pieces of a lantern were also found
near the body. All sorts of rumors are
afoat. Some suspect murder for money
and incendiarism to cover it, as he is said
to have had a considerable amount of
money on Sunday.

Handling a Rat,

A boy employed in Sixth avenue gro
Gerry store appeared on the curb the other
morning with rat-trap in his hand, saws
the New York Sun, and within the trap
was gray-beaded rodent of good size, who
evidently realized that crisis in bis life
was near at hand. Twenty pedestrians
had their attention arrested at once. and
three dogs came running up and began
barking aud leaping around, anxious for
the moment when the prisoner should be
turned loose.
Get out in the street." shouted a
voice.
Give that rat a show'' added sec,
ond.
Hold on till I get my dog" piped a
boy;
Say, bub, remarked fat man with a
cane, as he pushed his way into the crowd,
''have you had much experience with rats ?
There's only one way Of handling EN-
rightly. Let me take the trap"
The boy surrendered it with very bad
grace, and the fat man handed his cane to
some one and held the trap high over the
street. There were six Or seven dogs when
the spring door was opened, and the rat
didn like the looks of things. He ran
down to the door, made a spring and a
twist, and for about two seconds was seen
on top of the trap. Then he jumped to the
fat mans right shoulder. AS he did so
there was a yell and a falling back of the
crowd, the dogs rushed forward, and the
next instant dogs, fat man, and rat were
all in a heap in the gutter. One dog got
the rat, and the others began free fight,
and as they circled away from the spot the
fat man got up. holding a ruined silk hat
in his hand. He was in hurry to go, but
before he could leave boy counted four
dog bites on his legs and recommended
nitric acid and hot poker.
my cane?' queried the fat man, as he
looked about but cane and holder had
gone.
''Rats!' shouted three or four of the
crowd, followed by a general laugh.
RATS yes-um!' responded the fat
man. There's only one way to handle
rats. Sorry / can't be with you always,
but-yes-um!'
And he broke loose and steamed away
down the avenue.

There was chap of Just this sort-a
duffer from Duferville-in the crowd Of
passengers obliged to wait at the depot in
Decatur, Ala. for several hours on accoun.
OF railroad accident After half am hour
everybody sized him up for What he was
but he was permitted to go blowing around
because no one wanted the excitement of
row. He boasted of his fights and his vic
tories. and he tried hard to pick fuss
with two or three farmers, and finally got
his eye on something good. 1t was tall
slim holl0w-eyed man from Ohio, who was
evidently on his way to California to die
of consumption. He had deathly look in
his face. and as he wandered up and down
the platform he coughed in a hollow and
dismal way. Duffer arranged to meet
him IN his walk and at once loudly de-
manded:
Did You move my valice off the seat -
mo, sir, was the reply.
We'll, want to find the man who did:
can mop the earth with him in two min
utes.
well, don't care who it was
oh! You don't! Mighty independent,
you?"
Go away from me, sir! 1 don't know
sou otltu uOn { want TO.
Don't you? If you were only well
man make you eat mud. AS it is, don t
give me too much sass or I'll teach you
manners.
You are a loafer, SRA frst-class
loafer! said the Buckeye as he continued
to walk.
Il never strike a sick man," replied the
other. but I'll tweak your nose cnce
just to reduce your temperature. Now
He reached out with thumb and finger,
but he didn't get the nose. Instead of it
he got it Diff! bang! in the face with the
right and left, and as he went down the
consumptive kicked him to his feet and
knocked him over a baggage truck. He
didn't get up again until two men assisted
him. He had two bunged eyes, a bloody
nose, and bleeding mouth. and he look
ed about in helpless way and stammer-
ed:
"Gen-gentlemen, lead me off somewhere
here | can be alone
When he had gone some one asked the
consumptive if he wasn't afraid the exer-
ton would give him a hemorrhage and he
replied:
What do you take me for?'
Aren't you northern consumptive on
your way south?''
Not for Joseph! I'm a professional
contortlonist on my Way to fill an engage
ment in Cincinnati | saw that duffer
sizing me up and so played to catch him.
If he should want anything more serd
him around"

Sir George Bowen, the former governor
of New Zealand, relates that among the
loyal Maori chiefs whom he invited to
meet the duke of Edinburgh when the lat
ter visited the colony was one of the origin
al signers of the treaty of Waitangi in
1910, who had ever since been firm friend
of the English. One of the American
bishops afterward said to the governor:
"Do you know, sir. the antecedents of that
old heathen?" mo, my dear bishop"
was the reply. ''but l do know that he
brought 500 of his clansmen into the field
to fight for the queen, so invited him to
meet the queens son. Well continued
the bishop. when ! first arrived in New
Zealand, that chief came to me and said
that he wished to be baptized. | knew
that he had two wives, so told him that
he must first persuade one of them to re-
turn to her family. He said he feared
that would be difficult; but that he would
see what could be done and come back to
me in two months. When he returned he
exclaimed: Now. missionary, you may
baptize me- for l have only one wife [
asked: What have you done with your
dear sister, your first wife?' He replied,
smacking his lips: I have eaten her. >
