WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

THO nrominence of several stocks in the dealings

covering of short contracts in the reduction OF the

case of money everywhers, the assurance ahorded
by the Presidents message that there can DE at

increases in railway earnings, and the evident signs
of q revival OF public interest in speculation. Ihc

two stocks were something over PEI cent. and
the only other advance which approached them
was IS per cent in Northern Pacific preferred
There was unusual activity in Lackswanna, but
the other coal stocks inclined 10 drag. The
Vanderbilt stocks were quiet, but as a Iule their
first prices were practically the best, and they
closed with small losses. The fluctuations in
Erie, the second stock in point of activity, were
less than IL per cent, but with the Vanderbilt
stocks il was an exception in cl0sing a small
fraction lower.
If the buying was principally by the short IN
terest, the selling seemed TO be for European ac-
count. liz is question OF paramount Importance
whether this market can absorb all the offerings

at the same time its stock Of gold. The utmost

dropping rates for money, with the prospects Of

Tie Great Auks determination.

Everybody knows the history OF the
great aux 3 exterminatiou. A single shell
OF one OF its eggs, without the contents,
was sold the other day at auction for
$500. And yet this bird was found on
Funk Island, off the Newfoundland
coast, sixty years ago, in numbers that
were simply countless. But the people
from the mainland used to go over to
the island in summer aud kill them by
myriads, to eat and for their feathers.
They were very appetizing roasted, and
were so fat that they served for fuel
also-so that half dozen great auks did
to cook meal of their brethren for din
ner. The result Of this was that forty
wears back the last of these interesting
fowls perished, and there is no longer
one of them in existence. The Smith
sonian has practically u corner on their
bones. A while ago the institution sent
distinguished osteologist, Professor
Lucas, to Funk Island for the purpose,
and he brought back nearly a barreltuI
of such remains. If you want skele'
ton now you will have to send to Wash
ington for it, aud it will cost you about

He is 10 years old Washington went

heard grandfather or great grandfather,

staf as though it we're musket, to fight
and show how the old battles we're won, so
Joshua gathers his friends around his dy-
ing couch, and no tells them the story of
what he has been through, and as he lies
there, his white locks showing down on his
wrinkIpd forehead, / wonder if God has
kept his promises all the way through.
As he lies there he tells tho story one, two

tell n story two or three times overland he
answers: 81 go the way OF all the earth and
not one word of the promise has Jailed,
not one word thereof has Jailed; all has
come to pass, not ono word thereof has
failed" And then he turns TO his family,

now whom YOU will serve. the God ot Israel,
or the God of the Amorites. As Tor me and

Perpetuating u Kingly Break.

Do you know why your four "Is"
are used to mark the hour of four on
clocks and watches, instead of the Roman
numeral "Iv.2" The tradition among
clock and watch-makers is that in the
wear 1870 the first clock similar to those
now in use was made in France for
Charles ", surnamed The Wise. The
King could not deny that the clock was
m excellent time.keeper, but as he wished
to find fault with something and so live
up to his name, he insisted that four was
incorrectly marked and that four "Is'
should be substituted for "Iv." The
makers could not convince him OF his
error, which has been perpctuated as
the Kings mistake through all tho sue
ceeding years.

The celebration of the I'D anniversary
OF Odd Fellowship in America was very
happily carried out at the court house last
night, large audience being present.
Entertaining addresses of an appropriate
nature were delivered by Governor w.
G. Ritch, one of the Oldest Odd Fellows
in the west, by Rev. l. G. Mills, Mr.. S. T..
Reed, district deputy grand master, and
by W. B. Sloan. Select readings were
given by Miss E. J. Colby and Miss Ella
Whitlock, and the musical part of the
program was not only wisely selected but
superbly rendered, each Of the several
vocalists receiving and responding to en-
thusiastic encores. Miss Nellie Gum sang
"The Position" andlfollowed it up with
Riding on a Load of Hay" Miss
Nettie Sloan sang the Staccato
Polka and "Over the Bannister. !"
Miss Jessie Moore's song was the cold
Sweet Song" and she also gracefully re-
sponded to an encore. Misses Sloan,
Gum and Whitlock sang in quartette
couple of charming selections, while Major
G. w. Knaebel's solos were received with
great favor. A splendid lot of flowers
from Mr.. Boyle's garden was distributed
among the fair vocalists. Throughout
the observance of the occasion was in
every respect creditable to the Odd Eel
lows of Santa Fe.
