Suicide Increasing Among Negroes.

81 rotice by the papers" said form
or Coroner, "that wOrld-weary negro
committed suicide on Christmas night
bv jumping from the bridge. This re-
minds me that suicides among negroes
were entirely unknown until within the
past few years. In lS's the hrst case Oh
a negro folo de Sc in the history OF 81.
Iouis came to my notice as Coroner. 1t
was such a novelty as to attract wide
spread attention, and many newspapers
claimed that it was the first case OF IT'S
Kind in the country. BE that as it may,
II was but the forerunner OF half dozen
eases in ST. Louis. and the question Is
no longer asked, who ever heard ol 4
negro killing himSelf?' Perhaps, IN the
purelv animal state, no one ever did,
bnt as the negro in his free state has
mingled with the white man he has ac-
ouired not only his vices, but his pass
ions. fears and prejudices as WELL

STOCKs-The stock market was quite ac-
tive to-day and furnished more excitement
than on any day since the great break in
November, and while the tendency of
prices was upward, there was natural
reaction toward the close. The dealings in
thc general list, however were completely
overshadowed by those in Sugar Refneries,
which were given rise on the completion
of the reorganization and the pros
pective payment or the D per
cent. in cash There was an extremely
large and excited crowd gathered in the
Stock Exchange this morning, and at the
sound OF the gavel Il scene Of the widest
excitement ensued, large orders having
been placed in the market. The stock had
closed Saturday at 105S, and the first sale
this morning was at "a. The demand was
so great, however. that Sl1z was reached
before this demand was satisfied, and the
price then reacted to IS. where it
was maintained for the rest OF the
day. In the general list there were
some strong spots, as Chicago Gas, North
ern Pacific Missouri Pacific and Silver
certificates. The grangers were weak,
Atchison and Rock Island in particular,
and Lackawanna also tailed behind the
list. The early gains were all wiped out,
though there was squirt in Chicago Gas in
the afternoon. The market finally closed
active but heavy, at or near the lowest
prices OF the day, and only slightly
changed from the final figures OF Saturday.

The Palace and Bones of Pizarro.

One of the earliest yiceroys erected
the enormous cathedral that faces one
side of this plaza, with its facade
painted red and yellow, its three green
doors. and tower at each angle. For
nearly three centuries its affairs were
burdened with gold and silver and
jcweled articles of church service and
ornament. until few Years ago. when
most of its treasures were appropri-
atcd and converted into money by a
needy republican government.
In its dark crypt is the stone coffin
of Pizarro, the conqueror, and another
containing the remains OF his rascally
relative, GOnzalo Pizarro. The enter
prising tourist may 90 down and eX-
plore the grewsome place by the dim
flicker of tallow dip. and, if he is
curiously enough inclined, by the pay
ment of moderate sum TO the sacris-
tan, the stone cover will be removed
from the more important coffin and
the crumbling bones of the great con-
quistador exposed TO yiew.
Another side of the same square is
occupied by Il rather mean-looking
building with small shops beneath it,
which is no less than the old palace
where Pizarro ruled with a high hand
during his brief day here. and where
he was assassinated by ''the men of
Chilla." who appointed themselves the
avengers of Almagro'S murder. lis
upper part still serves rs Il government
'palacio'' and is occupied by various
officers of the new regime.-Ltnla

ThoroushbredH Horses in Battle.

''When went to the war in 1861,
said Senator Wade Hampton. Il took
with me three thoroughbred stations
that were worth Il princes ransom.
One was us black rs night. one was a
dark chestnut, and the other was a
chestnut sOrrel. You are perhaps
aware that my father was not only a
noted importer of running horses. but
famous breeder of the thoroughbred rs
well.
II rode the black stallion at the first
Bull Run battle, where | commanded
the Hampton Legion. comprised of in-
fantry, cavalry, and artillery. At the
famous cavalry fight ut Brandy Station
with Pleasonton III 1868 | rode the
chestnut. He was hard horse to con-
troll i'll a charge, and he nearly carried
me into the enemy's lines on that day
twice. | rode the chestnut-Sorrel at
the great cavalry fight in the rear of
Meade'S army on the third day at
Gettysburg. and came near meeting
the same fate rs that / escaped from at
Brandy Station few weeks previous.
My experience with thoroughbreds is
in time of war that they are safer

with than when you are going toward
him, especially when on a gallop. But
when it comes to endurance one
thoroughbred will kill three cold
