There is no doubt that birds take delight
in the gurgeousness Of their own feathers,
and the more brilliant their hues the
greater the vanity they display. Conspic-

and fondness u paading their tinery are

of the Birds of New South Wales, indi-
Gates decided and discriminative prefer

evinces no small amount of aesthetic feel
ing and artistic taste in selecting and ar
ranging them.
The bower is built of sticks and slender
twigs gracefully interviewer, so that the
tapering points meet at the top, and
adorned with the rose colored tail feathers
of the inca cockatoo and the gay plumes
of other parrots, tinted shells, bleached
bones, rags of divers hues, and whatsoever
gaudy or glittering trinkets that may have
pleased the birds fancy.

THE LANGUAGE OF FINGERS.


Their Silent Talk Is Important In Board of
Trade Transactions.
Thousands of visitors who yearly go
to the board of trade and watch the
traders ON the exchange floor from the
public gallery express surprise at she
rapid manner in which business is trans
acted. As a rule, the wheat pit attracts
them, and they do not understand how
commodities change hands with such
lightning rapidity, and how hundreds of
thousands and millions of bushels are
bought and sold i'll an incredibly short
space of time is to the novice pro-
found mystery, They do not know that
the brokers do a great deal of their work
by finger signs, seldom understood by
the outsider.
1t requires only the fraction of a Sec
Ond to buy and sell 80, 900 bushels of
wheat.
TN sell so Sep. at an eighth, 4"
cries one of the brokers, and he has
hardly finished speaking before another
on the opposite side yells sold. " The
trade is put down on the trading card,
and the transaction, which involves over
$50, 900, has been completed.
The number of bushels offered for sale
is indicated by holding up one finger for
each 8, 900 bushels So in selling so, 900
bushels the broker simply holds up both
hands and waves them from him, which
explains itself as wanting to dispose of
the lot In addition to this, brokers
have a complete finger code by which
the condition of the market is commu-
nicated. The signs generally used are
as follows:
The first finger held up stands for
one-eighth of l cent, as the traders all
know the main price. If, for instance,
the first sale of wheat after the market
opened was made at 60 cents and the
next at COS cents, the trader simply
holds up one finger for the advance of
one-eighth of l cent. The upward posi-
ton of the finger is to show the upward
course Of the market. Should the market
be bearish and the price decline to 59Ts
cents, the signal for this would be a
closed hand, with the thumb pointing
downward. This shows the price seven
eighths of cent and the status of the
market downward. Chicago Tribune.

The Senft-Carpenter Case in the Appel
ate Division.
In the appellate division this morning a
hearing was given to the attorneys for
Fred Senft and Horace f. Carpenter,
plaintiff and defendant in suit that was
tried at the June term Of the Court of Com
mon Pleas.
Senft had brought suit against Carpen-
ter for boarding his insane wife at 20 per
week. Carpenter denied his responsible
ity for her keeping because she had been
taken TO the Senft's contrary to
his orders and after he had declared that
he would pay nothing for her board there
although he was willing to support her at
almost any other place. The verdict OF
the jury was for the plaintiff and Senft
was allowed 1896. The case was appealed
and this morning s. 5. Lapham, counsel
for Mr.. Carpenter presented his petition
on an alleged error of ruling in the lower

The Common Council will meet in regu-

i iates that the Consolidated 'ilSs must
file its acceptance of the conditions with

little objection was made in the
that II would tend to delay operations,
but members OF the Council who have

Consolidated means business it cannot
object to the imposition OF q time limit
which is reasonable and protective so

were valuable suggestions which might
be considered during the next six months.

LAST EDITION
SOME TARIFF Changes
By Democratic Members OF
Finance Committee.
CONCESSIONS TO SUGAR TRUST
CONCESSIONS TO SUGAR TRUST
Increased Since the Committee Began
Its Second Attempt at the Amended
Bill-Thc Bill Now Becomes a Subject
for Discussion I'm the Full Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Demo-
cratic members of the Senate committee
on finance have completed their work
on the tariff bill and will submit
the changes which they have made
from the bill as drafted by the sub
committee at meeting of the full COM
mittee to be held this afternoon.
The principal change which they have
made in the bill is in the sugar schedule,
and that has been modified SO as to
take into account the color as well
rs the polarization of sugar. The
change made will add one eighth of q
cent per pound on the color test, so as to
insure to the refiner this much protection.
This Is in accordance with the original
intention of the committee, but it has
been claimed that the bill as at first re-
ported to the full committee would dis
criminate against the refiners.
IL Is not known as yet at what point or
grade OF sugar the change in sugar rates
will be made.
1t is also understood that the bill
be amended so as to make positive decla-
ration for the abrogation OF the reci-
procity made under the Mckinley act.
This will be done simply TO satisfy
the sugar men. 1t is also probable that tho
clause in the bill abrogating the Hawaiian
treaty will be struck out. These, together
with the restoration of the present law re-
garding the tax on domestic cigars, will
be the principal changes made.

Scores Likely to BE Settled, However.

Infantry Hall will be the rendezvous OF
the Democracy OF the State tomorrow
morning, on the occasion of the annual
convention for the nomination of q
gubernatorial ticket. The same
fighting elements which have in
jected their personal grievances and ami
mosities into the proceedings will be on
deck, and Hugh Carroll will be the bright
particular star to incite rebellion and long
distance oratory. Hon. Augustus s. Miller
has been selected to preside over this un-
ruly congregation, and he will have need
OF his utmost patience and for
lection. The State central committee
have determined to secure the nomination
OF the old ticket--Hon. David s. Baker for
Governor; Dalton Il. Young for Lieuten-
ant Governor; John j. Heffernan for Sec
retary OF State; Clarence A. Aldrich for
General Treasurer. The candidates are all
willing except Mr.. Heffernan, who
has emphatically declined to
run, on the plea OF ill-health,
and the demands OF his profession. How
ever. the party managers claim to have
harmonized the war-like ele-
mIents in the, hamlet, I'd
Heffernan will be induced to join the co4A-
bination. The preparation of the platform
has been assigned to Colonel
Honey, and except from that
heavy weight constitutional, trea-
tise which paralyzed the House will
form conspicuous planks in the mighty
structure. II has been decided to
dispense with the services OF out
of-town orators, and hence the home
talents will let themselves out. There is a
prospect of a lively contest between the
elements which will seek to commit the
convention to nomination for
United States Senator headed by Hugh
Carroll, and the conservatives who
are determined to size up the
chances of antagonizing ex-Gov-
ernor Wetmore's candidacy, which,
under the existing conditions they are
prone to admit are decidedly roseate.
Consequently 1.-THE suggestion is gratitu-
ously given to the suburban delegates
to provide themselves with a
substantial lunch, as the deliberations
arc likely TO nlonopolize the greater part
OF the day. Honey, Carroll and
Colonel O'Reilly are trio,
when warmed up for the fray.
which nothing aside from apoplexy or
paralysis can conquer, and there are some
old scores TO be settled whenever they are
brought together in the convention
