WHAT DUN HAS TO SAY.
Brief Resume Of Business For The Past
Week, Failures. Etc.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly report
says: Last weeks semi-panic in stocks
and grains has been followed by
more confident feeling about the
cholera, as it is seen that the pesti-
lence is thus far confined to the in
coming ships by national regulations.
Moreover, even if the disease should
appear on the shore in scattered cases,
the vigorous measures taken by the
thoroughly warned and aroused people
would be likely to restrict and sup
press it, as it has been thus far kept
down in England Hence there is
much less apprehension regarding the
possible effects of the disease this
year before the cold weather comes,
and stocks have advanced about 10
cents share on The whole, though in
other markets the alarm disclosed a
weakness which still continues.
Meanwhile, the general condition of
industries and of trade throughout
the country is not only remarkably
good but improving perceptibly from
week to week, although the exports
of merchandise are not yet large
enough to prevent some exports of
goods.
Trade in dry goods exceeds expec-
tations, being unusually strong at the
west and better than last year at the
south, and is especially. good in silks,
ribbons and dress goods.
The iron trade has improved. Bust
ness in jewelry, hardware and tobacco
is fair, and in liquors very good.
At Louisville and Nashville trade
improves, crop prospects being better.
AT New Orleans business has some
what improved, but is not up to ex-
pectations. Sugar is very strong,
rice unsteady and money stiff, though
in ample supply.
The iron industry grows more &C
tive. Nearly all the works are full of
orders and the output now is heavy.
Boots and shoes are in great de-
mand.
Cotton has advanced 1-16 during
the week, with restricted exports of
products.
AT present foreign exchange is
steadily strong, but the treasury has
put out new notes, 100000 more than
it has added to its stocks of gold and
silver and the money markets through
out the country are amply supplied,
while collections in all quarters are
very fair for the season.
Business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days

TUTOR. MOORE, of Yale, deserves
high praise for having headed off, by
his forethought and determination, a
disgraceful hazing. The fact that
the tutor himself was the intended
victim of the outrage does not detract
in the least from the merit of the act.
Fifty students broke in his door, and,
rushing into the room, demanded Mr..
Moore. He met them with revolver,
which he discharged over their heads,
frightening them from the room. Mr..
Moore showed discretion as well as
courage. If the students had per-
sisted in their attack it would have
been his privilege to shoot lower.
When college students assume the
manners Of outlaws and hoodlums
they should be taught that breaking
into private apartments and infiict-
ing personal outrages are dang erous
forms of amusement.

A Train in Flames.

Fire broke out in the snow sheds at
Summit, CAL, at 10 O'Clock SATURDAY..
The Summit fire train while fighting
the flames became completely on fire
and had to be abandoned. The en-.
CINE and water cars burned. The
Blue Canon water train was rushed to
the front and while battling the flames
a new fire started west Of the train,
and for a time there was imm.lent
danger that this train would burn.
Fires were started at four different
points evidently by an incendiary,
who was travelling west from summit.
The water train from Rocklin was
sent up early Sunday morning. The
flames are now under control, but
nothing can be done toward LAYING a
new track until the fire dies out.
Passengers are seriously DELAYED.
Five hundred workmen have been
shipped from Truckcc with ties and
rails, and work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible.

Torn to Pieces by a Bull.

Is. M. Xix, one of the best fine
stock breeders in the state, was torn
to pieces by bull on his farm near
Omaha recently. The corpse was lit.
orally cut to pieces and could only be
identified by the fragments of clothing
scattered aroung the scene of the
struggle. The feet of the bull were COW
cred with blood, from having jumped
on the victim, and its tongue and
horns were smeared with shreds of
flesh and blood. Every bone was
crushed and in some instances detached
from the body. The terrible affair
was discovered by the victims aged

THREE New York physicians have
been arraigned for trial on the charge
OF having performed an illegal autop-
sy on the body Of the mind reader,
Bishop, who died so suddenly three
years ago this summer Several such
charges have been brought against
physicians of late, and the probable
ity is that the subject thus intro
duced will receive thorough discus
sion. There is no doubt as to the il
legality OF autopsies that are not or
dered by the proper authorities, and
are done without the consent of the
families of deceased persons. At the
same time it must be admitted that
autopsies are frequently in the direct
interest of medical science, and
ought not to be stubbornly opposed.
Ii, then, physicians are under legal
restraints to observe the wishes of
the friends of deceased patients, those
friends in turn are morally bound not
to raise purely sentimental objections
to post norton examinations, and If
they are not thoughtless, not to say
selfish, such objections they will not
raise.

RebeIIing Against High Taxes.

A special from Ell Paso, Tex. says:
Telegraphic dispatches announce the
capture Of the federal General Ranjei,
commander of the Second Military
Zone and the utter rout of the troops
in the mountains southwest of Guer-
zero, Saturday. The trouble has
grown out of the oppressive tax i'm
posed upon the people by the state.
The people refused to pay the taxes
and have determined to fight it out to
the bitter end. The people of the
district are organized and as soon as
the federal troops arrived they drove
them to rough place and managed to
capture Ranjel, after which the troops
were driven in every direction, and
many of them were killed. Troops
from chihuahua and Sonora have
gone to the scene. General Ranjel is
being held hostage and the insurgents
will demand of the government that
the obnoxious tax be revoked and
their leaders pardoned.

THE revolution in the Brazilian
province Of Rio Grande du Sol ID
evidently one of such magnitude that
the integrity of the republic Is in
great danger. Porto Allegro, the
capital of the province, has been
bombarded by couple of the nation
al gunboats, and, after sad destruc-
tion of life and property, has been
occupied by the national forces.
Whatever the establishment of re-
public may have done for Brazil, it
certainly has not brought peace to
her, and the members of the Imperi-
alist party naturally point to the
days when, under the government of
the wise and clement Dom Pedro,
the country was tranquil and pros
porous. All this does not prove that
the overthrow of the empire was a
mistake, but it does 60 far toward
showing that the direction of nation
al affairs has not yet fallen into capa-
BILE hands.

themselves holding mock trials at the
convict camp near Port Royal when

so maddened that he drew long knife

convicts before the guards could over

Poet, was born in Haverhill, Mass. i
December II, 1907. He was OF
Quaker origin, and his ancestors were
among ,he original settlers of Nassa-
chusetts. Born on farm, the great
poets first occupation was that of ~
farm boy.
He was thus early brought into that
intimate communion with mother
earth and with nature which comes
not by mere observation, and which
gives such a peculiar charm of pic-
turesque touch to so many Of his
poems. How much he thus learned
and to how good profit he put it are
visible in many of his poems, but esl
pecially in his "Snow- Bound, which,
in addition to its other merits, has
now also historical value rs vivid
picture of modes of life even then
obsolescent, and now almost as far
away as those pictured by Homer.
He earned enough at shoemaking to
pay for his schooling at the Huntsville
academy. Afterward he became q
teacher at West Amesbury. By teach
ing he managed to make enough
money to complete his education.
AS early as the age of 10 he began
writing poetry, first contributing it to-
newspapers under an anonymous sig
nature. Whittier was prominent I'M
the anti-slavery crusade which began
in 1881, and helped publish news
paper called the Liberator.
In 1928 he undertook the editorship
of the American Manufacturer in
Boston, and in 1880 succeeded George
ID. Prentice as editor of the Haverhilll
Gazette during the first six months Of
the year and then of the New England
Weekly Review in Hartford, Conns
This office he resigned in 1882 on ac4
count of failing health and returned
home.
In 1886 he became secretary of the.
American Anti-Slavery society and
afterward removed to Philadelphia.
where for year he edited the
/. Pennsylvania Freeman. This he
did with such vigor that his printing
office was sacked and burned by a.
mob.
In 1910 he took up his abode I'M
Amesbury, near his birthplace, and
there, with the exception of six
months in Lowell, as editor of the
Middlesex Standard, in the simple
dignity of frugal independence, the
fruit of his own literary labors, he
lived the remaining days of his long
life.
From lS47 to 1859 he contributed
edltorally to the National Era, an
antl-slavcry paper, published at WASH
ington, in which 'sUncle Toms Cabinv
was first published.

The experience of the Trave, which
came Off almost uninjured from her
collision with the ship Fred B.
Taylor, confirms the opinion so often
expressed by certain wiseacres that
there is no especial danger in running
at full speed in fog. There is APP
parently no such danger-to the big
steamship; but the friends of those
who were lost on the Taylor, to say
nothing of the owners of the ILL
fated craft, may be excused If they
look at the matter in a different
light. 1t is quite possible that the
effect would have been the same If
the Trave had been going at half
speed; but it is not in human nature
In the human nature, that Is, Of
those who have been injured in such
a collision, or have lost friends there
by-to avoid feeling that there would
have been little better chance if the
huge steamship had not been tearing
along with utter disregard of the DOS
sible consequences to smaller craft.
There are some other considerations
worth thinking OF in connection with
such affairs, even by those on the big
steamer side of the question. When
big steamer meets a small craft in
a fog and runs it down without any
serious injury to herself, that is one
thing: But suppose she meets an
other big steamer--a steamer as big
as herself or bigger What then? Is
1t likely that either will escape with
as little injury as the Trave suffered
In her collision with the Taylor? Tt
Is not in human nature-of any kind
this time-to believe it, The City Of
Chicago, of the Inman Line, had a
practical illustration OF the danger
which may come even to big liner
from running too fast in a fog. 1t
was not an insignificant schooner into
which this big liner ran, but the solid
coast Of Ireland. There are doubts.
then, as to the perfect safety even OF
big ships in running full speed In q
fog; and the greyhound" doctrine on
that point may well be revised.
