BosroN, June b. The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the
wool market that the situation Is Pc
culiar. The value of wool Is largely
nominal and uncertain. There is no de-
mand. Itemized sales show the small

Everything favors buyers, but light
stocks on hand save the market from
slumping. Secured basis for fine and
medium territories has not yet eaten
down 10 30 cents, but attempts have
been made by manufacturers and some
Others TO effect such a decline. Little

of cx-Alderman Cornelius, was sitting
on the back veranda of her residence,

and two watches. Mrs Cornelius was
found about an hour later by her
daughter, unconscious. The police

Sir waiter De1ohteu IN mile anu HAL
Running Race.
NRw YoRK, June 15.-In the mile and
a half race at Morris Park yesterday
Sir Walter was prohibitive favorite,
with Sport second choice, and the g.
year-old Dorian was not wanted by any
body but the punters. The flag fell to
a good start and none of the jockeys
seemed inclined to make the running
The consequence was that the race de-
generated into mile gallop and a
sprint of half a mile down hill. In a
short time Sir Walter had enough of 1t,
and then Grimm sent Dorian out for the
lead. He took 1t easily and In the last
eighth Sport got enough of it, leaving
the 3-year-old to gallop in winner In
2:42. Dorian will run In the American
Derby at Chicago and is thought to
have royal chance.

A SURPLUS OF HORSES.

Proposition That VAST Numbers lie Killed
for Use as Fertilizers.
What to do with surplus horses Is
proving rather perplexing problem in
the northwest 1t is estimated that in
eastern Warrington, Oregon, Montana,
Idaho and Nevada there are two million
head Of halfbreed horses for which NO
market can be found. The pricea paid
at auction sales are so low that there il
no profit In raising the animals. A few
dollars will now buy good mustang.
Meanwhile the stock running wild on
the big ranches goes on increasing out
Of all proportion TO the demand. The
cause of the depression In the horse
trade IL largely the employ ent of
electricity as motive power In every
part of the country, and no market can
be assured in the future except for
horses with thoroughbred strain In
them. 1t Is now proposed literally to
kill OF by thousands the mongrel herds
of the northwest and convert them into
fertiIizing and similar compounds.
With this end In view company has
been organized at Portland, Or, ard a
site for the abattoir has been secured
1t is proposed by the incorporators te
bring all the horses purchased to the
abattoirs and there kill them by pain
less method. The flesh will then bs
made into fertilizer. The hides, tha
have always a market value, will b
carefully removed and sailed, the hal
being shaved on, and, with the man'
and tail, used for the stufflng of mat
| tresses and upholstery work.

the shadow of great gloom that has
come upon the home of President
Bryan, caused by the death of Miss
Maggie william, Mrs. Bryan's sister.
Although the young lady had been an

great hope that the change of climate
might benefit her, but the grasp OF

THE RUDDER.

OF what are you thinking, my little lad, with
the honest eyes of blue,
AS you watch the vessels that slowly glide Ger
the level ocean floor?
Beautiful graceful, silent as dreams. they pass
away from our view.
And down the slope of the world they go, 10
seek some far-off shore.
They seem to be scattered abroad by chance 10
move at the breeZe's will,
Aimlessly wandering hither and yon and melt
ing in distance gray;
But each one moves to purpose firm, and the
winds their sails that fill
Like faithful servants speed them all on their
appointed way.
For each one has rudder, my dear little lad
with stanch man at the Wheel
And the rudder is never left to ITSELF but the VIII
of the man is there;
There is never a moment, day or night, that the
vessel does not feel
The force OF the purpose that shapes her course
and the hemsman's watchful care.
Some day you will launch your ship, my boy on
life's wide treacherOuS seas
Be sure your rudder is wrought of strength, to
stand the stress of the gale;
And your hand on the wheel. don't let it f1lnch
whatever the tumult be,
For the will of the man, with the help OF COD,
shall conquer and prevail.

had brought them SO many play
things that they were kept busy and
happy all day long. Out in the hall
his papa was getting ready to go
down town and mamma was helping
him.
"Just hear!" said papa; "the Old
Year is going to give us a pretty
stormy good-by tonight"

pausing in his play, "who the Old
Year is, and where he's going"
So when his mamma came is few
minutes afterward, he asked
"Who is the Old Year, mamma,
and where is he going? Did papa
mean the wind?"
His mamma laughed, and taking
both little children upon her lap, she
told them about the old year; how
that night was the last night of the
year, and SO people called the past
year the old year, and tomorrow
would be the first day of the new
year.
"And now," she said, show is my
little boy going to treat this beautiful
New Year which begins tomorrow?
Isn't he going to treat it better than
he did the Old Year9"
"How can /, mammal" asked
Harry.
"By being better boy" replied
mamma; Shy being kind to Annie
and to all your playmates; by not
hurting Rover or Pussy"
docs it hurt the Old Year if l do
that?" asked Harry.
YES" replied mamma; "ano you
want to be better to the New Year
than you were to the Old Year. And
now it is time two little children
were in bed.
But before she tucked Harry up
for the night, he asked: when does
the New Year come, mammal"
Tonight, when the clock strikes
twelve. Now goodnight"

see the New Year come in. l guess
I'll stay awake and see what he looks
like"
But before he knew it he dropped
off to sleep. When he awakened it
was still dark, and he sat up in bed,
saying: 81 wonder if the New Year
has come yet. haven't heard the
clock strike. l guess I'll go down
and see."
So down he slipped to the parlor,
and went in, when what did he sect
He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
There, right before the fire, sat an old
man. He was shivering as he bent
over the few hot Goals, and Harry
could see that he looked very old and
