straight course. Although, at times Of
rough weather, the hours of sleep en-

owner) and the ship Northern Light.
He also was navigating officer of the

on account of President PieXoto-the
navy of the rebel Admiral MellO, and
wrote a book from his diary notes of

neck, and, with his family, sailing a
distance of 5000 miles TO New York.

teachers will close next
week and then there will be
an exit to the other islands.
During their stay here the
teachers have learned some
thing outside the four walls
of the High School. They
have read our ADVERTISE

go when fine quality goods,
at cheap goods prices are
wanted. When they go
back to their homes on the
other islands, they will take
with them a years supply Of
dry goods, because the saw

CRABS AND EARTHQUAKES.

For some time previous to the day
upon which the great earthquake OF
August, 1857, occurred, great swarms OF
crabs of an unknown variety were seen
in the Bay of Payta, Chile. They all
appeared to be greatly excited, and
were literally climbing over each other
in their efforts to escape the impending
calamity. How they knew that the
earthquake was collecting its strength
to desolate the coast is more than man
can say, but that they knew that some
thing unusual was about to happen
there is no doubt whatever. That
there were millions Of them may be in
ferred from the report of DR.. Forbes,
who says that ten days after the
earthquake the dead crabs were thrown
upon the beach in a wall-like line,
three to four feet wide along the whole
extent of the bay

Tuesday Night.
At the request of numerous citizens,
the members of Company B Dramatic
Troupe will give a second performance
at the drill shed next Tuesday night.
The production of a drama by COM
pany as well organized as this will be
acceptable to the public after a pro-
longed season of vaudeville, and there
is hardly question but that the house
will be filled.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will assume the
characters of BERTHE Cecil and Cigarette
respectively, and Miss Lagos will play
Valencia Mr.. Norris will play the part
of the Colonel.
The piece will be staged, through the
management of Bob Scott, in the same
creditable manner that characterized
it's first production. A proposition was
made by the manager of the visiting
company to have two of his people do
specialties between the acts and take
so per cent of the receipts, but this was
declined.
The seats will be on sale at jacobsen

Paris. Dec. 2S.--General Meredith Read

on Feb. 81, 1887. He received his edu-
cation at military school and at Brown.
where he resolved the degree Of a. NJ In
l566. was graduated at Albany law

In Europe was admitted TO the bar in
Philadelphia. and afterward removed to
Albany. He was adjutant general OF

originators OF the Wide Awake" poll
tical clubs In 1860. He was chairman in
April OF the same year of the commit
tee to draft a bill in behalf of New York
state appropriating 100000 for the pur-
chase OF arms and equipments, and he
subsequently received the thanks of the
war department for his ability and zeal

He was first United states consul
general for France and Algeria in 1862
73 and 1902, and acting consul general
during the Franco-German war. After
the war he was appointed by General
De Cissey, minister OF war, to form and
preside over a commission to examine
into the desira bilty of teaching the Eng

November. 1873. he was appointed United
States minister resident ip Greece.
During the Russo-Turhish war he dis
covered that only one port In Russia
was still open. and he pointed to Secre-
tary Evarts the advantages that woufd
accrue TO tho commerce of the United

from New York to that port. The event
justified his Judgment, since the exports
of cereals from the United States showed
an increase within n year OF $4,000. 900.

COTTON MARKET.
THE REVIEW OF THE MARKET.

There wss no market on Saturday The
Wall Street traders in anticipation of the
mead Of a DAY in which to recover from
the Christmas festivities voted to ad-
journ until Friday.
two hours that wereiost.
Stocks on Thursday closed at rather
low figure but then, a, for the two or
three days preceding, the prominent fea-
ture was the strong undertone and the
sturdy resistance OF prices TO the bear at
tscks. Transactions during the week
were necessarily limited owing to the ap-
proach of the holidays, but the most en-
couraging fact was the increase OF con-
fidence in the attitude of the conservative
mem bers of Congress In relation to the
Caban situation. In Speaking of the
present market Hsight q Fresse, the
New York bankers say:
"At this time conditions as compared
with Christmas, 1895, show great inn
provement. A year ago, owing to the
Venezuelan panic, money was scarce and
good securities were plenty. Today mon
ey Is abundant, and good securities are
scarce. A year ago our treasury gold bal
ance was much under the safety limit.
Today it amounts To over s134. GOO, 600.
year ago our foreign trade balance was
comparatively small. To-day 1. reaches
the enormous total OF $500. 900, GOO. A
wear ago, eomo of our largest railroads
were in a state OF bankruptcy. Today
they are successfully reorganized, and
-. 1865, m soIid dpopcieI foofiny
year ago uncertainty existed as to the
maintenance OF our gold standard. To-Day
its maintenance is assured for years to
come"
c. Franklin Nugent & Co., in their
weekly market letter, also predict
brighter times and remind their Gus
toners that "a bear can overstay bis
market as we'll as bull" In fact the
general opinion seems TO be that financial
affairs are now on the threshold OF pros
perity. The new year means the dis
bursement OF more than goo, 00O, 600 In
interest which will seek for Investment
during the next thirty days, and this
must have a certain effect upon the mar
ket as there are dozens OF gilt edged
securities tnat are now cheap enough to
prove attractive to any investor.
The Investment market, according to
Bradstreet's fer the week has been firm
bat has shown a somewhat duller con-
dition. nigb-grade bonds are, however,
firmly held and the influence extends In
a measure TO the more speculative classes.
| The chief incident in this department
was the sale on Tuesday OF s1,0OO.0OO
government d on the Stock Exchange,
the price declining from 100 TO 1i9. The
transactions in question were currently
believed TO be for the account Of Chi
cago institution, and after its effects
we're o,er the price of the United States

The prospect for the cotton market Is
somew hat encouraging, snd there Is evil
dencs that the market will broadeu out
with the advent of the new year. The
'smsnd for cotton from Great Britain

and Germany, added to the excellent
buying In this country and the light re-
ceipts are generally believed to prssags
prices that will be considerably In ad-
vance OF the present cneap values. The
last semi weekly interior report shows
the receipts 10 have been s7,176 haiss
against 1882 last year; the shipments
81 ,227 bales as compared with 62, 703 last
year, and the stocks 450, 220 bales against
All, ,93) last year.
The prominent feature OF the wheat
market during the week has been the
increased foreign buying which, with q
decreasing supply should force higher
prices. In speaking of this Beerbohm
says:
"We have, as is always tho case with
Us, no prediction for either the 'bulP
or the bear side OF the wheat question
but when we find the position Of wheat
to be so unusual as 1t undou btedly is this
season, find it somwhat difficult to either
think or TO write otherwise than in a
confident tone on the subject. When. In
fact. we find the American visible supply
thus early in the season diminishing
rapidly, and the primary receipts la that
country 45 per cent. less than last year,
we are forced to the conviction than any
moment within the next month or two
demand may overake supply in that
country, a circumstances which, in sea-
son like this, when Europe wants so
much wheat from America. becomes
all the more serious on that account.
Equal in Importance, perhaps, in cennec-
tion with the future OF wheat, is the
news that the Argentine wheat surplus
is not likely 70 be much, II any, larger
than last years, viz: $4,000. 600 bushels
1t is obvious that such quantity will be
swallowed with perfect ease, and will,
moreover, probably DO available at time
when American wheat may be running
short. Under these conditions in regard
to America and Argentina, we can only
| characterize the season as one OF an ex
traord mary character, and one not likely
to lend itself, as the saying Is, to low
prices"
