ARMLESS UNTHAN.
He Plays instruments With His
Feet.


Unthan is a very handy man with his
feet. The local theater-goers are no yet
acquainted with Unthan's skill. but they
soon will be, and when they do see him
they will echo Manager Amberg's remark
thai he is very wonderful.
Unthan has no arms. he never has had
arms. although he is 40 years of age. quite
old enough to know better. Yesterday
afternoon Unthan held a reception in til e
parlors of the Palace Hotel and astonished
every one by the skill with which with his
feet be played several selections on a
violin which was several hundred years
old. In this performance the performer
displayed great feeling and remarkable
technique. The violin was placed on a
stand and ne held the bow in the left foot,
while with his right toes he did the
lingering"
His auditors viewed Unthan's perform
ance with a wonder which was increased
tw0fold when he shot his left foot into his
vest pocket, pulled out a clgarette-case
and offered one to each of those present.
An elderly LADY VINO was among the spec
tators took great interest in the armless
wonder, and inadvertently holding out her
hand was astonished TO receive his right
foot instead of the hama she expeci ed.
Unthan plays cards and generally holds a
good hand at poker, while his feats at
target-shooting and cornet-playiDg are
simply marvellous.
This afternoon at o'clock Unthan will
hold reception at the Palace and take q
team TO the Cliff House, driving himself.

LAUMEISTER OUT.
His Resignation Finally
Accepted.
Some of the Points Upon Which the
President and the Directors
Gould Not Agree.

The resignation of Charles s. Laumeister
as president of the Produce Exchange and
of the Call Board Association, which was
rendered some days ago on account of
differences arising from the construction
of the rules governing the fixing of a price
during the recent wheat deal. was ac-
cepted by the boards OF directors yester-
day.
Mr.. Laumeister differed with the
directors Oh the policy adopted during the
wheat deal. BE obta med an opinion from
the firm of Dorm & Dorm supporting the
position which he had taken. but as the
attorneys of the board had previously sus-
tained with their opinion the position
taken by the board, the directors declined
to consider the opinion presented by the
attorneys 10 whom the president had Rp-
piled. Thereupon Mr.. Laumeister ten
oeTed his resignation. The board re-
Quested him TO withdraw 1t, but, as this
was not done, the resignation was finally
accepted.
H. Siusbeimer, the vicp-presidenE, was
elected president and ". +. Merton vice.
president. The vacancies in the d recto-
rates were filed By the election OF Elisha
Ransom for the Produce Exchange and
Louis Steller for the Call Board Associa-
ton.
When the wheat deal had assumed quite
q large proportion the directors were called
upon to fix the price. According 10 the
rules of the association this Is mandatory
when a request by ten members OF the
board is made that tie price be fixed.
The board may. when such REQUESTS made,
fix the price Of spot wheat here on LiV-
~erpOol basis plus So as an extreme limit.
The directors lid fix price by practi' ally
a unanimous vote. but as three OF the dl-
rectors were numbered among the shorts
and voted their action gave rise to some
criticism.
Section / of rule II of the association
declares that in determining value on
the individual value in other markets for
consumption or manufacturing purposes
this market shall be considered irrespeet-
i've OF any fictitious, inflated or manIpu-
lated price the cash article or futures may
at the time sell for on call.
The second section asserts that under
this rule in no case shall the value of spot
wheat as a basis for marginal purposes
differ by more than So ton from its sale
value for shipment by moo rate sized iron
ships for orders 10 the United Kingdom.
The construction of the claim caused
two interpretations 10 be placed on the
word differ" Charters and insurance
form features in determining the value,
which vary from day TO day.
The third section of the rule declares
that when the price on call of any article
or future is higher or lower than the mat
ginal value as determined by the board oil
directors, neither party to the contract
can collect additional margins on the con-
: Tact

A New Parlor Game.

Although the winter season is waning
there is an uudiminisbed demand for new
and popular parlor games which may serve
as medium of attraction in social gather
ings. Such a medium is afforded in the
new game issued by Joseph A. Hoffman,.
at 207 Montgomery street. IL is called
"progressive Proverbs" and is designed
on the same lines as progressive eucbre'
with all the advantage of new features.
The game can be played with either four
or FIVE players. or in the usual way by a
party. In the progressive game at the con-
clusion of the first deal the lady and gen.

except at the first table, where the order is

table. Altogether the game seems TO Offer

HAS GONE SOUTH.
Lecturer Fred Munsen Off
on a Trip.
The Explorer OF Death Valley Will
Tell of His Experiences
There.

Fred L Munsen, the wel-known lee
turer, has left for a tour of the southern
part of the State. Captain Oliver, late OF
the Palace Hotel. went ahead Of the lee
turer as his advance agent.
Mr.. Munsen is one of the few men who
have explored carefully the Death Valley
district, and his labors there have resulted
in material for most interesting lectures
aided by remarkable photographs taken by
himself.
Death Valley Is In the south part of Inyo
County, not far from Mount Whitney.
Munsen started out from Daggett, which
is 166 miles from Death Valley, travelling
on a blackboard to the Calico Mountains.
where the heat ranges from $50 to 16O de-
grees. 1t is from Telescope Mountain.
14900 feet high, that the first view of the
Valley of Death is obtained, with the
Funeral Mountains beyond. There is less
than per cent of moisture In The atmos-
phere, and man cannot stand it for an
hour without water without going insane.
Mr.. Munsen has obtained some remark
able views Of the great salt road and the
awful sights to be seen there. and so ex-
emplitieS the uses of the camera that he
was engaged while here to lecture by the
camera club, and his audience packed
METROPOLITAN Hall. As a traveller Mr.
Munsen displays a keen observation. and
as lecturer is graphic in the extreme.
His southern tour is sure to be success
full one. A successful engineer, speaking
of Munsen, yesterday said:
''Munsen is a rising man. he is born
traveller, having keen observation. pro-
digious memory and a knowledge Of gen.
eral science such as few travellers possess.
His observatl in the Salton district are
very valuable indeed, and his accounts Of
his Journeys are always interesting and

SOME ALL-wooL FACTS.

The assertion has been iterated and
reiterated by the champions Of protec-
ton for projections sake, that to
transfer wool TO the free list would
utterly destroy the wool industry in
this country. On the contrary, advo-
Gates of tariff reform have insisted
that the high protective policy Of the
Republican party was depressing that
industry and If persisted d in would
completely destroy it, while free trade
in that necessary article would stimu-
late the industry by increasing the
price for our home product The last
congress made the change, and what
rs the result? According TO the state
ment of the last issue of the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter, trade
journal devoted exclueively TO those
interests. we find that the price of do
nestle wool in Bos Ton, the great WOO
market o; this country, on July 5, this
year, ranged from TO 20 cents, ac
cording TO quality. On the both o.
August, less than two months
later the price Of the same
grades OF wool on the same market
run from ten to twenty-three cents, al
increase Of ten to fifteen per cent
Foreign woods were quoted on the sam,
market, July 5, at from twenty five tt
thirty-seven cents pound, and on Au
gust -, the same grades had oeclinet
TO from II 10 20 cents, a fall of 30 to 81
per cent.
This change in prices has tahoI
place within two months, If the il
crease in the price of domestic should
stop at the advance quoted, 10 pc
cent that is enough TO stimulate Tn,
industry into renewed activity,
Mckinley prices afforded the WOO
growers profit, the advance caused
by the new which placed wool on the
free list will soon make them rich
while the lower price of foreign WOO
will enable the manufacturer TO pro
duce woolen fabrics at a sufficiently
lower cost to compensate him for tn
reduction the new law makes in th
duty on such goods, so that the con
sumers here will get the benefit OF tn
reduction and nobody be injured.
