WOOL SALES.

Boston, July 1.-The American Woo
and Cotton Reporter will say tomor-
row:
Wool sales for The week have aggre-
gated 454.7S1 pounds. including several
hundred thousand pounds of domestic
secured.
The major part Of the business done
since last writing was in domestic
wool. and this, for the most part, was
sold previous to last Saturday, since
which time the market has been very
dull 1t looks now as though it would
be later than the middle Of July before
manufacturers at large will be ready
TO talk definitely about the raw stock
they will require, so there is a prospect
for the next two weeks of a coptinu-
ance of the waiting attitude which the
market has resumed during the last
few weeks.
Sales since January 1, 1896, have
amounted to 99,947196 pounds, against
I59. 7lS.724 pounds a year ago. Boston
sales were 2.091. 900 pounds. 1.424,000 do
nestle and 667 900 pounds foreign.
Sales since January /, 1896. 5000 600
pounds, against 94,375. 229 pounds year
ago

A MODERN ENGLISH DIsCoVERER
OF COMFY ISLAND.

l had pointed out to me the other
day q, man who discovered Coney Is
land; some two decades later than
late for his own satisfaction. Mr..
Shelley of the Oriental hotel was ex-
hibiting him.
Il ah-saw the place from-ah the
deck Of the ah-steamer coming
ovah," said he, and l although I'd
see what sort OF a place lit was, don't
you know! And, upon me word, / find
it most astonishing at the ah-cheaper
end, you know, and doosid comfort
able heah.''
His formal and deliberate manner of
putting his pince-nez glasses up to his
eyes, after much bother with the chain
to which they were attached, suggest
ed perpetual alertness for discovery.
He never mercy looked at anything
One cannit call the work of an as
tronomer looking at things" and this
Englishman brought the same effort
and aid of glasses 20 his simplest vis-
aul action. When a neWSboy rushed
at him with a paper, meaning to sell
il like lightning, before it became old
and worthless by the arrival of a later
edition, the Euglishman went through
the same serious preliminaries with his
glasses and ended by making the little
arab feel that he also had been discov-
cred; that no one had ever looked at
him before. Indeed, the startled lad
shot his own eyes all over himself as
if he suspected that he had been seen
all over and might find hiself naked
Thus the Englishman looked at Coney
Island, after il had grown ancient I'M
der Indian, Dutch. English and Amer

to it case of Apollinaris and a. bath
tub, so as to be sure to have those
luxuries while he was there.-''Coney

COULDN'T LET HIM ESCAPE.
The Hotel Keeper Didn't See Mr.
Vanderbilt Every Day.

When the Vanderbilts obtained con-
troll of the Union Pacific railway, Will
liam H made trip in a special car
over the branch line known as the
Denver and South Park, which runs
from the capital city to Leadville. This
is the road which o. H. Rothacker once
wrote: THE Denver and South Park
is a narrow gauge road except where
the track is spread to a broad gauge
While the Vanderbilt car carried a
chef and a we'll stocked larder, the
magnate, soon after entering the South
Park country, felt a longing for a glass
of fresh milk, and when the train
pulled into Como he sent his servant
into the depot hotel to get the desired
article. The servant returned accom-
panied by the hotel proprietor, Char
ley Benedict. The latter carried a glass
of milk, refusing to allow any one but
himself the honor of serving such a.
distinguished person.
Vanderbilt quaffed the milk, pro-
nounced it excellent. and handed BEN
eddct a IS gold piece. The hotel man
said: Thanks" and started to make
his exit.
Il sayr' called the railway king,

Why do you charge me more than

Because we fellows out here only

NEW YORK, July 1.-The specula-
change today, owing to the resump-
ton of the liquidating movement and
to bold and effective bear operations.
There was no reflection of the support
accorded the market yesterday, nei-
ther was there any noteworthy indi-
cation of interest for long account by
commission houses. The main discour-
aging influence was a change in the
attitude of London. This was supple
mented, incidental to the bear raids
upon prices, by various rumorS of d
disturbing character, some Of which
were unfounded, including one to the
effect that arrangements We're being
made for shipments of gold 10 Europe
aggregating several million dollars.
The volume of business was consider
ably larger than yesterday, and bust
ness was fairly we'll distributed. al
though two stockS-Sugar and Tobac-
co-figured for about one-third of the
aggregate dealings. At the outset the
bulls were discouraged by lower Lon
don prices, and although some mod
crate buying orders for foreign account
were noted, the traders lined up on
the short side and were led by two
leading professional operators. An
early announcement of the enga cement
of 100000 in gold. together with the
export rumor referred to above, was
followed by s,emi-demoralized con-
dition of affairs, and prices yielded all
along the line. Sugar displayed some
buoyancy, but toward the. close was
foremost on the down grade and left
off at a. net loss of AS per cent. The
market closed active and weak at the
lowest.
Bonds were dull. but weak. with con-
ceSsions material in some of the lead
ing issues. Utah Southern f1ves trust
receipts broke per cent; Oregon Short
Line fives trust receipts, IL, and Met
ropolitan Elevated seconds, per cent.
The sales were S632. 800.
Government bonds were neglected,
but weak ca transactions of S12, 600
Silver certificates were easier. The
sales were S1150 900 at SO.

Cruelties Practiced by the Late Shah
of Persia Were Appalling.

CrueIties Practiced by the Late S1la II
of Persia Were Appalling.
With the death of Nasr Ed-din there
has closed the career of one of the
most cruel and rapacious rulers Per-
STA has ever been cursed with-a VERT
able oriental Nero. Under his reign
the peasantry were constantly plum
dered, without hope of relief, as the
so-calley civilized powers, Great Brit
ain and Russia, ever had covetous
eyes to the possessions of the shah
and winked at his wickedness.
Probably the most atrocious of the
many crimes of the Persian monarch
was the cruel death melted out to the
governor of Matzendor, Abdullah Ku-
lah, whom he sentenced to be boiled
alive in a caldron of oil, on the charge
of embezzlement. Notwithstanding his
pleadings and prayers, Abdullah XII
lah was pitched head first into the
caldron by the eXecutioners of his Sc
rene highness, while the shah stood
by to see that his mandates were
obeyed.
Travellers through the domains of the
shah said that it was not an uncom
mon thing to hear groans issuing from
pillars of brick on the roadside, the
living tombs of peasants unable to
satisfy the demands of the tax-gath
erer-left to a lingering death without
food to satisfy their hunger or water
to quench their thirst. To prolong the
misery of these unfortunate wretches
a small windowlike aperture is left
in the pillar, that the prisoner may
breathe and not die from suffocation.
These tombs dot the wayside in the
~f To-
as do crosses the mountain roads of
Mexico to show where some wayfarer
has fallen by Violence more merciful
fate than the Persian monarch melted
out to his subjects.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat

nave received the following letter
from lady at Cambridge, giving an
account of a very peculiar cycle NAL

whether other cyclists have ever s11f-

Recently an extraordinary difficulty
mas arisen. After riding few miles
L am seized with a sudden impulse

as strenuously as possible, but the re-
suit Is always the same-willy-nilly
spring to the ground
Until last Monday this involuntary
olsmounting has come off in fine style,
and without accident, though upon one
occasion | walked home several miles
rather than remount, my nerves being
quite shaken by losing control over
my own volition.

Your paragraph in, the. Daily Chron-

My correspondent should, of rourse

misses every nervous trouble in a

made study of nervous disease. It
is quite certain that we have not come
to the end of cycling when we can
mount a. machine and glide away
through country roads. The speed, the
excitement, the muscular exercise of
cycling are all comparatively new ex-
periences to us. and there can be no
doubt that the bicycle will produce
its own peculiar results, both for good
and for evil.-London Chronicle.
