Wives Guarded by Lions.

The sultan of Marocco keeps large
number of live lions about his premises,
and in the evening these animals arc set

act as guards of the royal haroms. should
say the sultan has rather moro than 5000
wives, 1900 Of whom reside in Fez. On
one occasion, when Mr.. Douglas Beaufort,
the juggler, was preparing for his perform

of bowling and screaming. Then was
heard the thud Of hcavy blows, and every

AN INDIAN TRADITION.
Strange Tale of the Micmac Tribe One
Hundred Years Ago.

A writer records this story, as told by
an Indian in camp:
" Bout 100 years ago Mohawks came
from Canada to make war with Micmacs,
and one band of Mohawks found hut in
bush where Mlcmac Indian live with
squaw and three children. Mohawks look
every which way, and sec that Micmac
gone hunting ard nobody there 'cept
squaw and three children. They take them
and hide them in bush. Then Mohawks
hide lcetle way from hut, and when Mic
mac come back, they catch him and tic
his hands. Then they all start back to
Canada
"And first night they camp Mohawk
chief ho say, L alway like leetle pig for
supper Then he take one Micmac child
and throw him on fire, and when he cook,
they all cat him. And next night they say
same thing, and they eat mother child.
And next night, when no moro children,
Mohawk chief say, Il alway like ole SOW
for supper. Then they kill Micmac squaw
and cook and eat her.
"After that Micmac Indian very mad,
and he strong spirit go into him, so he
might punish Mohawks. And when they
como to Mohawk village in Canada, they
all sit round with Micmao in middle and
put big pot of oil on fire to boil Micmac
in it. Then MicInac says to Mohawk chief
What very brave man you bel You kill
children, you kill squaw; you no can fight
man like me-. And Mohawk chief very
mad, and make cut with AK at Micmac.
But that spirit turn ak one side, SO it hit
one Mohawk on hade and kill him. Then
Mohawk chief more mad and make moth
or cut at Miomac, but that spirit turn Ak
on one side and kill mother Mohawk.
"Then spirit fix oil Mohawks where
they sit SO they can no get up, and Mic
mac take ax and kill chief and kill all 9TH

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board of
Irads


CHICAGO, Feb. 14.--In wheat there was
moderate speculative trade, the market
ruling rather spasmodic, the range for the
day being 11s. The tone at the start was
weak and initial trades showed * to ltQn2s
loss, but good demand prevailed shortly
afterward and prices gradually sold up to
l 1.SO. The easy opening was attributable
to the weaker cables, Liverpool coming I'd
lower, and to the cold wave predicted yes
terday, which failed to materialize, the
weather on the contrary being mild and
favorable, and no doubt cut something of
figure with the act at the start. The market
rallied in buying by prominent houses,
and the advance was helped along by the
| liberal exports, more moderate northwest
ern receipts and fair inspection here. AS
rule there was little in the foreign news
to warrant the advance, but the sentiment
was undeniably bu.lish, and the feeling
that some up-turn was due was quite gen.
I eral. May opened about sc lower, at
66Mc to 663sc, started up and sold to
673sc to 67Tc, and at noon was 674c.
The market broke toward the close OF the
session. Room traders loaded up heavily
above 67c for May. and in endeavoring to
sell out caused sharp reaction. Besides
the report that $5,1O0,00O in gold had
been taken for export helped to depress
values late in the day. Heavy selling Or
ders also came in from the northwest
and May sold down to 66l4, closing rather
weak at that price. Corn was quiet but
firm, influenced by the strength in wheat
the continued moderate receipts and the
free exports. The feeling in oats was
firm, early provisions were slightly weaker
at the opening, influenced by the unex-
pectedly large run of hogs, but as yard
prices held we'll, advances were made.
Later, however. as activity subsidized and
the grain markets lost their early gains,
provisions did likewise. Closing prices for
pork and lard were practically unchanged
and ribs cents lower.

"If wished to tell the great difference
between the German actor and the AIneri-
can," said Nine. Cottrelly, II should say
that the German stage is regarded by the
actor as a sanctity-a place to be approach
ed with devoted reverence. Even talented
novices are not intrustcd with speaking
parts until they have learned the rudi-
ments of stage business by stern appren-
ticeship in the ballet of minor theaters." -"

The Iron Output Cors!dcrbIy Exceeds the De-

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-3radstreet's to-
morrow will say that the general business
situation throughout the country does not
meet anticipations, and except at a few
cIties-Baltmore and Pittsburg in the east; {;
Chicago, St. Louis and Omaha at the west;
Galveston, Chattanooga and Atlanta at the
south-remains dull for the eeason, in

provement in demand and prices is con-
fined to hides, leather and boots and shoes,
which are conspicuous in the short list OF
staples for which prices are higher. Feat
ures of the situation are those resulting
from unfavorable weather east and in the
central west, of prices of iron and steel,
further complaints by woolen manufacture
ers, an outlook for more idle woolen ma
chinery, smaller total of bank clearings,
continued stiffness and maintenance of
high rates for loans, notwithstanding the
favorable inferences drawn from the heavy
over-siibscription to the government bond
issue and restricted production of pig iron.
Exports of wheat Ulour included as
wheaD from both coasts Of the United
States this week amount TO 2,17S,000
bushels against 2,907 200 last week, and
as compared with 2,725 900 in the week
one year ago, 2.OO0.OOO in the week two
years ago, 3,OS0OO0 bushels three years
ago and as contrasted with 4,042 200 in
the corresponding week of 1892.
The total number of business failures re-
ported throughout the United States this
week is 3Sl, the gain as compared with
last week being 43. Most of the increase
is explained by returns from the central
western states and the Pacific coast.
There are eighty-flve more business fall

A terribly distressing accident, resulting
in the death, late Wednesday night. Of Fran
els, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. T.
Moore of Anacostfa. occurred Tuesday
evening. In some way, as yet not known.
the child. who was but three years Of age,
secured q box of matches and took them
to play with a little distance from his
home. A man driving along the street
heard screams and noticed that the little
boy was on fire. The man at once went to
the rescue Of the child and succeeded in
putting out the flames with his heavy driv-
Ing gloves. The child was quickly taken
home and DR.. S. Harrison summoned.
An examination showed that the poor
little fellow was burned SO horribly that
he could not survive long, but everything
possible was done to relieve his sufferingr.
He fingered in great agony until late We'd
nesday night. when death came to his re-
ner. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore are almost pros
trated by their sudden and heartrending
bereavement and the sympathies of a
large number of the citizens of the town
Rave been extended to them.
The funeral will take place this afternoon
