The continent sold the distant
months and towards the close there
was some local realizing but on the
whole the tone was stronger, mainly
owing to the lower temperature at the
South.
The Chronicle states the weather In
the South in the main has been OF a
favorable character. that beneficial
rains have fallen I'm most localities,
but in the coast sections OF Texas
moisture is needed. that the tempera-

week July wheat sold down as low as
Il Csc as high as GA sac. The weak
ness that prevailed at the close Satur-
day was carried over into this week,
ne market Monday being quite de-
messed on reported good rains, large
Baltic shipments and the general I'M
pression that a large share Of the big
decrease in the visible would show up
IN next weeks visible. This caused
heavy realizing on the part of large

showing some recovery early, touched

iaklngs at the seaboard and a fair
Inquiry IN our local market, together
with 1900 900 decrease in the worlds
visible, the market turned very strong,

Women to Act as Jurors.

The first thing Judge M. G. Saufey of Lancaster, Ky, asked when he step- ped into court the other morning was, What has become of the breach of prom ise suit?" When told that it had been compromised and ordered dismissed by Strivers, the plaintiff, he said:
 II will not take notice of any such settlement. The case will have to be tried, and that by jury composed of one half of women and the other half of men. I have been looking forward to the trial of this case with great deal of in- terest, and it will be settled in no other way than by a trial. -
 This is the case ill which w. c. Striv- CTS sued Miss Catherine West for not fulfilling her promise to marry him, and which has created widespread interest throughout the length and breadth of the country. It was decided at. first to try this case with a jury composed ex- clusively of women, but after reconsid- ering the matter the judge came to the conclusion that, as the plaintiff was a man and the defendant 8 woman, the proper thing to do would be to try the case with six men and six women.

TO RENEW ITS GLORY
oREEcE's PRoUDEsT TEMPLE TO BE

to the Worship of a Woman-Cost More
 Than Any Temple Except solomon's.
 The news that the Parthenon at Athens Is to trs restored awakens deep Interest, for there are no other ruins on the face of the earth that inspire such mingled feelings of admiration and re- gret for the course of history.
 The Parthenon was the best fruit of mans highest intellectual achievement. Its ruins today are tribute to his im- becility and stupidity. It was the finest edifice on the finest site in the world and hallowed by the noblest recollec- tlons that can stimulate the human heart. The Greeks gave us no other heritage of themselves that we could more wish had been handed down to us without rust of time or the blemish and disfigurement of the barbarian.
 The complete restoration of the Parthenon IS an absolute impossibility. 1t IS impossible from the fact that there IS no detailed historical account of this temple. Pausanias, who saw the temple III It's original beauty and glory, never thought 1t worth while to describe if ill detail. He wrote as if he expected that the temple would be preserved eternal and unchanged. From that time on the Roman, the Goth, the Venetian, the Turk, the Greek himself, the English man and in fact everybody else has put his yandal hands upon this most glori- ous creation of man.
 While its complete restoration is not dreamed of, the preservation of the ruins, which means the practical res. toration of the structure, is what the Greek Archaeological society has un- dertaken with great enthusiasm. The society has raised $200, GOO, and hopes to raise as much more, which is believed will be ample to preserve the ruins from disintegration. The work on the ruins is soon to be commenced.
 At the time the Parthenon was built all Athens worshiped a woman. It was a strange idea for the Greeks to wor- ship virgin, for neither virginity nor womanhood was highly prized among the Greeks. There is much better reason for Parthenon or temple to Athena or Minerva in New York than in Athens at that time, for our ''new wom- an" is very much more of an Athena than the maid or matron of Athens ever was
 But this glorious temple was dedicat- ed to woman who was born from the brain of man. In the days of Themis- tocles, the temple on the summit of the Acropolis, dedicated to the virgin god dess Athena, was destroyed by Xerxes. After the Greeks defeated the Persians on the plain of Marathon, Pericles, the ablest statesman, about 450 B. C., or dered Phidias, the greatest sculptor, and Ictinus, the greatest architect, to build new temple on the site of the old one. This is the Parthenon, built from the marble quarries of Mount Pen telieus, which overlooks Athens and whose marble is as white as snow
 The building of the Parthenon must have occupied more than 25 years. It was not the largest of Greek temples, but it must have cost more than any ancient edifice outside of Solomon's temple. New York World.

War Balloons For Cuba.

Samuel Andrews, machinist of New York, has just perfected a war balloon, which he has sold to Cuban insurgents. It has been thoroughly tested in the fields of New Jersey. Instead of the or dinary car it is fitted with an armored box from which bombs can be suspended. The bombs are ignited and released by automatic machinery, and after all are discharged the box explodes, destroying the balloon and the secret mechanism. The machinery is worked by a steel spring
 Andrews claims to have device by which he can control the direction of the balloon. He will probably go to England, where his brother is a ma- chinist in Leeds, and manufacture tho war balloons. New York World
