Wheat scored an advance Of cents on

Every city reporting this week notes in

is emphasized by the presence of a null
titude OF buyers from all parts OF the coun-
try, by their statements OF the situation at
their homes and more forcibly yet by the
heavy purchases they are making. But
the customary signs of prosperity are not
lacking. The strong rise In stocks, the
growth OF bank clearings and railroad
earnings. the heavy speculation In many
products, but most OF all in wheat, have
made the week one OF surprising interest
even TO those who best remember the up
ward rush In 1879 At the principal clearing

second week OF August they are l79 per
cent. larger than in 1892 and 1871 per cent

Almost n Riot.

The sight of the blood wrought up
the 200 idle miners to such pitch that
a desperate conflict was imminent. The
deputies also were excited and noisy.
The strikers were jeering and yelling,
and urging a further rush down the
road. In that crowd there were enough
angry strikers to annihilate four times
the force of officers on the ground.
Capt. Bellingham, Sheriff Lowry, Chief
Deputy James Richards and Superin-
tcndent De Armit were the only cool
men in the assemblage. To them
belongs the credit of avoiding "a

were several other brushes with the

Etching on Leather.

A new thing in the line of fancy
work is etching on leather.
Undresed leather is required and the
implements of the craft are very simple
"a bottle containing benZoline. which
looks at first like an atomizer; to
round tube of rubber fastened at one
end a bulb, which is held in the left
hand. while the platinum pointed pen
ell at the other end of the tube is held
in the right hand and does the work.
All. you understand, are connected With
the bottle, or the contents of the bottle,
and by some mysterious process the
platinum pencil is at red heat all the
time, and thus etches the pattern upon
the leather; the pattern is first drawn
or traced upon the material. 1t is only
necessary to trace the outlines of the
design, because by keeping the pattern
before one, the shadings are easily
added.
1t is fascinating handiwork and re-
quires no special skill with the pencil
at the outset Groups of cupids, gar
lands of flowers, dragons, heraldic de-
signs are best suited for this work.
And the purpose to which a leather
etching is put? Ones first attempt may
result in nothing more elaborate than
a roll for music or a belt to wear with
ones new spring suit. As skill is ac-
quired, possibly a dado for the dining
room may be comprised. or new seats
for the dining room chairs

Doesn't Care a Darn.

Havana, March 5.-While at Rene
dos Captain-General Weylep was in
terviewed by a correspondent of La
Lucia, of this city. General Weyler
said among other things:
Believe me, 1 pay no attention what
ever to what is said or murmured
about me by the newspapers here or
outside of Cuba. 1 have fixed and in
variable plans, which I intend to fol-
low with all the tenacity with which
am capable and nothing will make me
deviate from that line of conduct. My
columns are now imposing peace with
the muzzles OF their guns. Nothing
was heard of peace in the provinces of
Pinar del Rio, Havana or Matanzas
until 1 began operations on great
scale, pressing. pursuing and coralling
the rebels on all sides. The same thing
viii happen in the eastern provinces
as soon as 1 begin in that part of the
island
All the local daily papers. in their
comments upon President McKinIey's
inaugural address, express satisfaction
because of the fact that he did not al
lude to the Cuban question. This is
taken to indicate that he will adopt
policy of abstention, leaving Spain to
settle her affairs alone.
