CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The wheat market was
active again to day, with varying success for
the bulls and the bears The opening was
weak, because the weather ali over the coun-
try, even up in Dakota, was of the finest.
May started at 77l2c, or lac off from last
night Then there was free selling by small
holders, who took wheat on the bulge late
yesterday, and heavy hammering of the mar
ket by Partridge. Under all this pressure the
prices only yielded to 77A@67ssc. Some
sensational bull news via Paris, stating that
Berlin markets were up on damage by frost
to German winter wheat. On this, and
turn in buying by the trade headed by Nc
Cormick & Co., Poole-Sherman and Baker,
the price went flying up to 79Ac for
May. There were some other items
of bull news. Export clearances from
four Atlantic ports for the week
were 6 10, QUO bushels of wheat and 10000
packages of -four. Minneapolis sent dis
patches claiming q decrease in stocks in
country elevators in the Northwest for the
month of 100000 bushels. The out-in-
spection of wheat here for the week has
been fair. Liverpool closed firm. Estimates
on the visible supply were from $4,000 to
$50, 900 bushels decrease. 1t was soon evil
dent that only the small shorts we're run in
on the bulge to 70 cents. and the pounding
proc ess was renewed. Partridge worked his
utmost all day to break the market. Schwartz
sold 100000, supposed 10 be for him, on
second decline 1t was 1 o'clock when the
price of May was finally worked down to the
lowest figure of the morning, 77b@77SSc.
Wheat was weak at the close, and sold at the
bottom prices for the day. Receipts
were IL cars winter wheat, 10 cars
of spring, 433 cars corn and 275 cars oats.
Withdrawals from store were 1888 blu
winter wheat, 2,412 bu spring, Is, 763 bu
corn and 1859 blu oats. The corn market
acted stubborn early with only a very slight
decline from opening prices. Later in the
day the spirit of the trade changed. ReceV-
ing houses and elevator men turned sellers
i'll the pit. There was no special news, but
the large receipts the fine weather and the
immensely of the crop held by farmers seems
to cause the tr ade TO think there is no bottom
for prices. Oats were fairly active and closed
14@3sc lower than yesterday. The provision
market was slow again to-day and most of the
business was of local scalpiDg character.
First prices were steady compared with last
night. but the tendency was slightly down
ward all day. 1t was not until near the close
that May pork was worked down to So. 97l5,
or 1Oc under the opening prices. Lard was
but trihe easier. Short ribs sold about sc
lower tor leading futures. Packing to date
here is 2,07o, 900 against 743OU0a year ago.
Weeks reeei pts, Isl 900 hogs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

MAKING TOILET IN JAIL.

The Queer Devices Employed by
Women to Beautify Themselves.
San Francisco Argonaut.
One woman, whose hair continued to
be suspiciously replendent, as of macas-
sar, after weeks of incarceration in the
jail,was an object of some wonderment.
even TO the chaplain, until she explained
to him in confidence that she allowed
her broth to grow cool, land then skinned
off the fat to glitter in her crown of
glory. Another girl certainly rouged,
and rouge tells effectually on the pallOr
of prison confinement. Great was the
envious indignation of her sisters in
servltude against frivolity so unattain-
able, but greater still, perhaps. was the
curiosity to discover how the accom-
plishment of such frivollty could be at
tanned. At length it was discovered
that the red threads woven among the
blue shirts which she had to sew would,
when drawn out and chewed, yield the
bloom yearned after by the cheek of
beauty.
The manner in which nearly every
woman finds 1t possible to disar-
range and double one of her underskirts
and present the fascination of a crino-
lette is so comic that it has been known
to wiring smile FROM the gravest
among men-a prison chaplain. And
woman without looking glass! Only
the ansterest and severest orders of nuns
renounce that. And perhaps it is the
female prisoners most oppressive pen
ance, for the relief of which she is
even willing to risk the imposition of
extra punishment-a task the more a
meal the less. By an accident, which
she declares she will regret for life
time, she has broken window. The
hole is there, sure enough; but where
cell, and behind a strip of black cloth,
her substitute for quicksilver. And all
for what? There are no male hearts to
break, and few male eyes to see only
those of governor, chaplain and doctor.

Both Vice President Morton and his
wife are French scholars, and their
career in Paris was most successful
one in social, as well as in diplo-
matte way Mr.. Morton was not ham,
pered by the meager salary Of our min
lister at Paris in the keeping up of his
entertainments, and he spent much
more than Sl7.500 year. which he re-
eeived. In Mrs. M0rton'S Paris salon
all classes of distinguished peOpole
were found, and his dinner parties were
among the noted of the Frencd capital.
1t is the same here this year, and Mrs.
Morton has brought TO Washington the
experience which she acquired as sue
cessful hostess at Paris. The vice pres
ident'S term at w ,ShlngtOn will prOba-
bly, cost him several times the amount
of his $1,000 salary, and the additions
which he has made to his house here
have rooted up more than $40, 900. He
paid nearly 100000 for the house when
he bought it from Telephone" Bell,
and he has dining room which cost
about half the amount the president
receives in year. Vice President
MortOn'S stables at the back of his
house would be considered a very fair
residence in many town. and the
rooms which he deyoteS to his recep-
tions and dinners would cover more
than two of the average city lots. You
could turn a wagon load of hay around
in his big dining room, without grazing
the walls, and you might drive couple
of carriages abreast through the series
of parlors which, opening by folding
doors one into the other, form carpeted
space more than 10 feet in length.
This Morton mansion must contain
about twenty-five rooms. 1t is reached
by big porte cochere of iron, land is en-
tered by wide front doors of oak and
plate glass. Stepping over the mat in
which, in bic letters of letters of red, the
number ''l50U'' is woven, you come at
once into what seems to be the house
proper. There is no cold conventional
hallway, but the warmth of home
seems to greet you the moment
you step over the Threshold.
The hall runs nearly the whole
length of the house. 1t consists of a
wide, well lighted room at the right, in
which fire blaZes merrily away, to the

Facts About Hotel Registers.

IndianapOIis JournaI.
Probably very few travellers, as they
affix their signatures to the register. no
tice the fact that nine-tenths of the best
hotels in the country sre supplied with
such books by the same firm, remarked
a Grand hotel clerk yesterday. 'Sucn
is the case, however, and, what is more
to the point. the registers don't cost the
hotels cent. They are supplied gratis
by firm in Chicago, which makes it's
money-and lots of it, too-from the adj
vertising printed in the books. All that
is asked of the hotels Is a contract that
they will use no other registers than
those supplied by the firm mentioned,
and it furnishes good books. with fine
quality of paper"

Yields the white ivory gavel with his
right hand in dignified angles. He is
fine-loOking presiding officer. Six feet
high and with only a scholarly stoop in
his shoulders, his smooth-shaven states
manllke face makes one think of the
vice-presidents at the beginning of our
history. His hair, well cOmbed and
parted in the middle, is iron gray. 1t is
brushed well up from broad and rather
high forehead, and its style of dressing
is much the same as that seen in the
pictures of Thomas Jefferson. Vice
President Morton looks very much like
Jefferson, save that his complexion is
brunette while JefferSOn'S was blonde,
and his hair has been black while JEFF
ferson's was red. The vice-president's
eyes are blue, and when ont of his chair
and mingling in Washington society his
face is one vast substantial smile. MIR.
Morton learned to smile while he was
making his fortune. He started life as
a clerk in country store, and he
smiled so pleasantly at his custom
erS that at twenty he was able to
go into business for himself. At twen-
ty-five his country store grew too small
for him, and he carried his smile into
commercial house at Boston. 1t worked
as well here as it did in his birthplace,
Shoreham, and it increased his pile to
such an extent that at thirty he con-
cluded to again smile for himself. He
then became the head of the dry goods
commission house of Morton and Grin
nell, at New York, and by 1868 he had
succeeded so far that he was able to es-
tablish the great banking house of Nor
ton, Bliss & Co., with its branch at Lon
don. There was more, however, in Mr..
Morton than the simple smile. There
were good business brains behind his
pleasant face. and by the time he was
forty he had made a fortune. He has
made more since then, and his money
has not hardened his face or his heart.
His smile, which paid him well as a
young man, has continued to pay him
well, as statesman. 1t made him a
successful minister to France, and it is
making him one of the most popular
statesmen at the capital. 1t is, think,
the offspring of his good nature rather
than policy, and it is worth more to him
than all his millions. 1t keeps him from
worry, and enables him to withstand
the vexations of Washington and its So
ciety.

The vice presidents mail amounts to
an average of fifty letters day, and
these cover all sorts of subjects. His

beggarS, and ne receives many applica-

few days ago asking for two of his
best registered Guernsey cows, and say
ing that he wanted nothing but regis
tered stock, and would like to have
them shipped as gift with the freight
paid. The letter was probably not ans
wered. There are numerous worthy
applications for charity received by the
vice president daily, and among them
are many requests from young girls and
boys who want to be educated. Some
of these are answered by his secretary,
but for any mil ionaire to reply to all
the demands upon him would make him
a pauper within year. The president
receives numerous applications for
charity, and our millionaire senators

most of them, like the wise president. do
give great zeal, but 1t is only after a
