The barbecue,

The barbecue Sunday at the Highland
brewery fully realized the intentions Of
ITS promoters to make it grand success.
Early in the day vehicles of every de.
scription began vending their way to the
grounds, distance of about eight miles.
Everything that had wheels or could
boast OF four hoofs was brought into re-
QUESTION to afford transportation. 1t
would be difficult matter to form an
idea as to the number present. Phoebe
turned out en- masse and the surrounding
country sent out its quota.
AT half-past one o'clock huge pack
age was unearthed, smoking hot, whose
fragrant odor pervaded the whole atmos-
phere and caused the visitors lips to
smack in anticipation of the treat in
store. The contents. which proved to be
the greater portion Of beef, was quickly
placed ON tables prepared for its recep
tlon. To see the rapidity with which
the tables were cleared would cause a
stranger to think that the crowd had ey-
identity been long time between meals
All things come to an end, and that
meal certainly did in short order.
After short rest by way of digester.
the fun commenced. There were races
for fat and slim men, young ladies', tug
of-war match, pie-eating match, music
and singing, etc, etc. An interesting
feature of the days sport was a foot race
between Miss Mary Captain and mine
host Schaefer, in which friend Schaefer
got gloriously left. Miss Captain carried
Oft fine gold ring as prize, as did also
Miss Morris,
The day was unusually fine and all
had enjoyment to their hearts content.

trict is located the mines in which Mr..

San Francisco, is now in Pueblo, Colo.
with carload OF assorted ore. which
will yield enough to pay the first cost of
the mine. The district it is thought will
prove to be one of the richest in the
country. The major part of the ore of
the district is soft iron oxide and il
easily worked. No powder is required.
One miner took out over SIG, 900 worth
OF ore in six days with pick and shovel.

susceptible Harvard student. she as
pretty girl as you could wish to see.
He wore an immaculate white scarf
and was arrayed like a lily of the field.
She had brown ewes that extended back
to her soul, and she knew how to use
them. She left the car at the central
gate OF the Common, and he sighed
and watched her through the car win
dow until she was out of sight.
An hour later he was strolling
through West street viewing the shop
pers with a critical eye. Suddenly,
from the mysterious interior of a dry
goods store, bundle in her hand, her
cheeks flushed with the ardor of the
chase, she came forth fairer than be-
fore. And underneath the immaCu-
late scarf he felt Joyous commotion.
At o'clock he was at the Adams
House, and, as in duty bound, made a
cursory examination of the ladies' dim
ING room. He had inspected scarcely
half the tables when his heart stopped,
and his eye was riyeted. Just under

At 4 o'clock he was hurrying up
fremont street in the overture of a
threatening rain storm. bound for Park
square. In front of the fremont
Theatre he thought of his immaculate
scarf and fine raiment. and sought
shelter in a doorway.
Another moment and the world
around him grew misty. She stood
beside him, hes skirts in hand and de-
spair in her face, without macintosh
or umbrella to shield her from the
rain.
He glanced at her moment, rolled
up his SD trousers and departed on a
run. A few doors down the street was
a furnishing store. He dashed into it.
Give me an umbrella, quick" he
said.

He divcd into his pocket. A & bill,

"All right" said the clerk.
He threw down the money and rushed
back to the doorway.
She was gone.
Then he raised his umbrella and start

CHICAGO, March l-CATrLE-The Catu
market was firm a the slightly reduced quota
tous OF Monday. Trading in poor and com
mon stock was SLOW, but holders did not find il
necessary to make any further sacrifices in the
way OF price concessions. Choice export cattle
were in good request, yesterdays advance of
&c in the London market stimulating the
demand, and most of the good steers were
taken for that point Sales were on basis of
k3l005 . for very common to fancy steers,
slG325 for inferior to choice cows and heifers,
81 .5olL2 IS for bulls 81 250375 for stOcIers and
feeders and g 25GLI5 for Texas cattle
HoGS-There were not nearly enough hogs
here to-day to go round, and competition was
vigorous enough to send up prices with rush.
They advanced TO S46HGI91 for poor to choice
light ana to S465a5.O0 for medium and heavy
weights The market was quite uneven, but
the average gain was Toe, few of the buyers
selling below $40 ana "a. 7IfE4g0 being the
popular figures. The latter market was less
Ou0ynut indeed. some salesman called closing
prices % lower than the opening rates, but all
thu good hogs had changed hands before the
reaction set in.
SHEEP-ln consequence Of the small number
ohered there was a strong market for sleep
and lambs The demand was by no means ur-
gent, but the 5000 sheep on sale did not fully
meet it, and the average OF prices was shade
higher tn0n for Monday. We quote poor to
choice sheep at si5GI6O0 and poor to choice
lambs s. ooG6.73. Extra qualities would bring
o slight advance on the outside quotations and
poor stun and cUlls sell as low as s.. 5O14 90
There was some inquiry for feeders, but prices
were above the views Of buyers and not much
was done IN that branch of the market.

A Journey on the NoIga.

Isabel F. Hapgood, the writer of the
graphic paper, Count Tolstoi at Home,
in the dIdltjC, contributes to that
magazine paper called A Journey on
the NOlga. Of KaZan she says:
The Tatar quarter alone seemed to
possess the requisite mystery and
local color" Here whole streets Of
tiny shops, ablaze with rainbow-hued
leather goods, were presided over by
taciturn, olive-skinned brothers of the
Turks, who appeared almost handsome
when seen thus in masses, with OppOr-
tunities for comparison. Hitherto we
had thought of the Tatars only as the
old-clothes dealers, peddlers, horse
butchers and walters Of St Petersburg
and Moscow. Here the dignity Cf the
prosperous merchants, oravely recon-
mending their really well-dressed, we'll
sewed leather wares, bespoke our adj
miratiOn.
The Tatar women, less easily seen,
glided along the uneven pavements
now and then, smoothly, but still in a
manner to permit glimpse Of short,
square feet encased in boots lowered
with gay hues upon a green or rose
colored ground, and reaching to the
knee. They might have been hours
of beauty, but il was difficult to class
fly them. yelled as they were, and
screened as to head and shoulders by
striped green kaftans Of silk, whose
long sleeves depended from the region
of their ears, and whose collar rested
on the brow. What we could discern
was that their black eyes wandered
like the eyes of unveiled women, and
that they were cOquettishly conscious
of our glances, though we were of
their own sex.
> We found nothing especially striking
among the churches, unless one might
reckon the Tatar mosques in the list;
and, casting a last glance at Sumbeka's
curious and graceful tower, we hired a
cabman to take US to the river, seven
versts away.
We turned our backs upon Kazan
without regret, in the fervid heat Of
that midsummer morning. We did
not shake its dust from our feet
When dust is ankle-deep that is not
very feasible. 1t rose in clouds, as we
met the long lines of Tatar carriers,
flour and other merchan-
disc to and from the wharves across
the "dam" which connects the town,
In summer low water, with Mother
Volga. In spring floods Matushka
Volga threatens to wash away the
very walls of the Kremlin, and our
present path is under water.
