AN ARABIAN SEINE.


Iadeed. an Arabian tale IS the only COM
parison TO the slene. Only less impressive
was the creation of kingdoms by the pres
ence OF the armies Of Alexander and Darius.
The long drought shows its ravages over ali
the miles of this naturally verdant expanse.
Everything is brown, scar and burnt. Hu-
man life over several million acres will be in
deadly peril until wells can be dug. bat to-

so numerous aud equally intersPersed that
serious danger is not feared.
So flr as the number and character of the

WHO KILLED WHITLOCK ?
The Sum of $4,000 Goes with
the Answer.
Payment Depends On Whether or
Not II Was Murder.

Justice Landau and a jury in the Cir
cult Court, Brooklyn. to-day, are trying
to settle whether the Fidelity and Cas-
ualty Company is legally bound to pay
Mrs. j. w. Whitloch, of Brooklyn. No,-
900. The result hinges on whether Whit
loch was murdered or committed suicide.
He was formerly a resident of Brook
Ign, later n promoter of mining schemes
In the West.
On Aug. 1, 1890. Whitloch was found
dead in bed in the Pioneer House. San
Francisco, with a bullet hole In the
crown of his head. Mrs. Whitloch al
leges that her husband was murdered.
She says that he expected to receive
so, 900 on the day he died or the follow
ing day.
There were very few powder marks
in the vicinity of the wound. The pistol
found near the dead man was a Smith &
Wesson, long barrel, duelling revolver.
Mrs; Whitloch says 1t would have been
impossible for her husband to have shot
himself in the spot where the ball en-
tered with such a pistol.
The Fidelity Company claims that all
the doors and windows of the room In
which the dead mans body vas found
were tightly locked. They assert that
he was involved in financial difficulties
and had been drinking hard for several
days prior to his death. The case was
once decided for the Casualty Company
and comes uD on appeal.

BULL POOL IN |MDUsTR|ALs.

All Along the Limo
Repeal Rumots Ada to tho Strength
In the Market.

There Is but one active force in the
stock market at the present time, and
that is a pool formed to "bulr the In
dustrials. Considering the way these
stocks have been discredited In the past
the spectacle Of the industrials advan-
cling on fairly large transactions while
the dividend-paying railway shares are
neglected. is a curious one to say the
least.
Whether those who are now putting up
Whiskey. Sugar, Cordage and others will
be able to arouse sufficient enthusiasm
to enabl them to unload is something
that time alone can determine.
Certain II is that the outside public Is
doing nothing and will probably not en-
gage In speSHlation until ri the silver cues,
judge for himself.
One reason for the improvement in the
industrials Is the easier Condition Of
