LOST TWO CENTS.
Two New Wells in the Ivory FIcId Break
the Oil Market.


The course of the oil market yesterday was
downward from the start, and the close was
cents lower than the opening. The opening
was about steady at S4ss. but almost immedi-
ately news was received of decided improve
ment in the Ivory field. the Hoffman and Smith
wells coming in big. and slump occurred. on
which the market sold down slowly, till at noon
SSH was recorded. where it hung until the last
half hour, when it broke to S25s. which were the
closing figures. The pykers were pretty &C.
tive, but trading was small In volume. An
other element of weakness was total absence
OF buying orders, leaving brokers with nothing
to do but look on. The extreme range was:
Opening and highest, Si5s: lowest and closing,
rels.
The Hoffman we'll, mentioned above, struck
filled up with oil and was shut down for tank
age 1t is located about 800 feet west OF the
Ivory No. l. The sand is coarse pebble sim1-
lar to that found in the Ivory.
The well of r. X. Wilson, at tShield's station,
on the Fort Wayne Railroad, is In, with the
hole filled up with 400 feet Of oil, but the
heavy pressure of gas from an upper vein pre-
vents vent it from flowing. 1t is expected to be
2O0.barrel producer.
The Hundred-foot Oil Company's No. 8, on
the Jacob Dambach farm, in the Hundred-foot
district, got the pay streak Saturday night and
is doing 20 barrels an hour. The No. g. on the
same farm, is also in the pay streak with good
showing, having made several nice flows. The
company's No. !, on the same farm is still doing
zoo barrels a day. ]. s. Patterson's No. a, on
the Charles Young farm, is making 400 barrels
day, and his No. on the same farm, 75 a
day. Hays & Co. have a 75-barrel well on the
Warburger farm at Gallery Junction, short
distance north of the station. Greenlee Coz
No on the Humphrey farm is showing good,
and Mcbride & Co.'S No. l on the Duncan
farm has come in with several good flows at III
feet in the sand.
,oolro If Ernc-
worth. is down 1000 feet with indications OF
oil in the sand raised by the bailer.
The Carson farm well, in the Charters Valley
field. is showing promisngly.
Drilling was started yesterday at the Katie
Miller well of the Jacks Run Oil Company,
half a mile back of Jacks Run station, and
quarter of mile from the Sobella and Belle
vue wells. on 45o line.
The McCalmont Oil Company's No. l. on the

A Cousin OF Emin PaSha.

Jacob Schnitzer is a Hebrew gentle
man living with his wife and children at
No So Fourth street, this city. He Is
a cigarmaker by trade and is employed
IN a downtown cigar factory. An Eram-
iner reporter called upon him at his resi-
lence ana asked him whether he knew
Emin Pasha, the renowned explorer and
conqueror.
why. said he. know him? He is my
cousin aud almost of my age. Isaac, or
Emin, as the newspapers call him, Is
only three velrs older than / am. All the
Sehnitzers are related and originate from
kTZepie. a village IN Poland, near the
prussian boundary. Our grandfather
moved to Oppeln, ODER Schlesin Upper
SilesiaG not a village, as the newspapers
had it, but o city OF u. 400 inhabitants.
aud the seat of the Government for the
district called Regieruugs Bezirk 0ppeln.
My father settled in Lubhnitz. a small
town near Oppeln. There Isaac received
his elementary training III sciences. Ian
ouages, and Hebrew lore. He went to
Breslnu to pursue his studies, At Bres-
Ian he studied medicine, and, as in 0p-
pem, he soon was acknowledged the
brightest student in his class. Not only
was he bright and quick of conception,
bnt he was studlous and very ambitious,
and was pointed out with pride by the
professors of the faculty. From Breslau
he went to koenigsberg and afterward 10
Berlin in pursuit of his studies, and in
each place he distinguished himself by
his zeal to obtain knowledge Isaac, or
Emin. had desire to travel, and the
boundaries of Germany were too limited
for his ambition. He went to the Orient,
and at that time | lost track of him. /
never heard anything from him since, ex-
cept what | read in the newspapers about
him. 1t seems that he had a mission to
perform, and he set out to accomplish 1t.
1t was the ambition of his life. Neither
home nor family ties would deter him;
he was impelled to go, and believe that
he accomplished that mission. l am not
surprised at his ultimate success, for l
! had every confidence that he would carry
out any of his undertakings unless death
overlook him. All his relatives have
made their mark in their respective pur-
suits, except myself who am q humble
and obscure cigarmaker struggling for an
existence. / did not make myself known
as near relative of the eminent Emin
Pasha, because | did not think that II
would add to his luster or better my con-
dition. San Francisco Examiner.

Mar1sls Of Modern Science.

Photographs of the interior of the gun
are even taken by means of the electric
light. and the information obtained by
these mems is most valuable and Is
manifestly more satisfactory than that
given by the method OF taxing impress
sions of the bore in soft rubber.
Photography has also been made use Of
in studying the motion OF the projeetile.
In the case of large guns, instantaneous
views of the shot during its flight have
been successfully taken by means of a
camera provided with qulek-aesing
shutter. This method is not applicable,
however, 10 small arms. A rihe bullet Is
a small object, and the camera must be
set near its path in order to obtain a
picture of sufficient size to be of use;
but the nearer the instrument is placed
to the moving object TO be photographed,
the more rapid Is the motion of the image
over the plate, and no instantaneous
or quick-acting shutter could possibly be
made to operate with sufficient rapidlty,
or at the proper instant to give sharp
~ defined picture. The desired end IS
accomplis he'd, however, by the aid of
electricity. Tha camera is provided with
an extremely sensitive plat ami placed
in dark room, through which the bullet
Is made to pass. The instant the bullet
is in front of the camera it breaks an
electric circuit, producing a spark which
Eliminates the bullet for an instant, and
lis image is impressed upon the sensitive
plate.
The duration of the electric spark is
almost infnitesimal, and since the plate
is affected only during the continuance
of the spark, well-dehned photograph

than that of sound is obtained. Such
pictures show the condensation of the
air in front of the bullet, the vacuum
left behind it, and the eddies and cur
rents produced in the surrounding at
mosphere by it's motion; and they afford
information which is of value in deter
mining the best shape to be given to the
projectile in order to reduce to a mini
mum the resistance which the air OPP
poses to its fight, and so increase its
range and effect. -Scribner.

I ongfelow once urged French lady
to eat some clam chowder because it was
French. The lady looked up in aston
shment and uttered most significant
comment donc?" Unto which Longfel-
low replied that the French originally
settled on the borders of New England,
and Mother Necessity soon taught them
how to stew clans and fish in layers with
bacon, sea biscuit (crackers) and other in
gradients, in kettle (chGudiere). Now
from the French the Indians learned the
Roman Catholic religion and little of
the French language, and a great deal of
the dish which the new corners had in
vented. The Indians we're not apt in the
pronunciation or in the significance of
French, and when they heard the Gaul
speak of the chHudiere the Indian sup
posed it referred to the food and his
nearest approach to the pronunciation
was chawder- the name which early En-
glish fishermen and settlers learned from
the Indian, and which the Angl on

A Beautiful Legend.

1t is said that on one of the weary
nights when the Virgin Mother and her
Holy Son we're flying with st. oseph into
a strange land, shivering with fatigue and
cold, Mary could go no further, but sank
down upon the sand of the desert, with
the Divine Christ still clasped in her
arms. At length st. Joseph discerned a
cleft between two large rocks, which
would be some shelter from the cold night
wind, and having laid mantle upon the
ground, he placed the Virgin and Jesus
there to rest At the foot of the rock a
little flower was blooming-a lowly, hum
BILE thing that scarce a traveller would
have heeded-a flower of bright red hue
But that might. during the silence and
and stiffness, when the only watchers
were the cleaning stars III Heaven above,
Mary rose to give nourshment to Jesus,
and as she nursed him-singing a sweet
low hymn to soothe Him to sleep--one
drop of her milk fell ON the lowly little
flower which bloomed at her feet From
that moment its hue fed forever, but it
was fairer and lovelier by far, for the
little thistle had grown white as snow and
has so remained to this very hour, in re-
membrance of the night when Mary and
the infant Jesus rested so very near it

THE TAPER IN HAIR-TRINxING.

The rev ia / of burning the hair off
with a taper. instead of cutting It, may
strengthen the roots and beautify the

This was made painfully manifest yes

some rabbits into town Yesterday, AID

questions, and no more Judgment. went

There was a puff of flame, a cracking
noise like burning brush, an odor like the
awful breath of pestilence, and the New
Jerseyman was out of that chair as If

bloody murder like q whole band of red
skins, while his arms flew around his
head like boy fighting hornets in hay
field. In his frantic efforts to save him
self from living death he knocked over
two BARRIERS, pulled down a chandelier,
smashed looking-glass, and then fell
exhausted into corner, yelling for some
one to save him.
BARRIERS and customers who had fed to
the street ventured back and picked him
off the floor, where he was groaning like

he led him trembling back to the chair.

A Queer Superstition.

A Broa iwaY jeweer has magnificent
solitaire diamond set into hoop, not of
gold, but of wrought iron, following
exactly the model of the usual gold band.
There is a superstition, ne said on
Saturday, that the wearing of an iron
ring brings good fortune and health to
its possessor, and there are more people
than one might imagine who wear a ring
of this kind because of the little super
stition. People like to get the benefit
even of superstitious whim, which they
know to be nothing more than fancy
And superstitions about jewels and orna-
ments are SO ancient that in many cases
they seem to have become an inherent
property of the jewel itself like the fash
of the diamond and the dull CLEAN Of
color IN the opal. '-Nem IOrk sur.
