''If the basketball team OF the Washing

the season had put up the game II did
last week against the Carroll Institute

team would now be up in the top bunch
instead of almost hopelessly at the bottom
of the list. We don't like to cry hard
luck but luck has been against u.s.
Thompson, who was drafted from the
Junior team is keeping up MS Soou Wofk
at left forward; his passing and goal
throwing are features of each game.
Kidd, of the ajOr league bowling team,
is showing great Improvement in his
bow ling and his fast climbing to the top
of the list OF averages, and it would not
surprise his friends il he did not lead at
the end of the season.
The Junior Basketball team is keeping up
itshard practice and hopes during the month
to get another game with the Institute

game and are great drawing card.

The business of the Leather Company has
not been large. Those interested say that
the financial condition of the company
is better on account of the liquidation of
its loans. However, there seems no reason
to put too much faith in these statements,
and less reason to base on them any belief
that the Leather Company has future and
that its stock will appreciate.

The condition is about summed up in
the belief held by a great many people
that much better times are coming, but
that there seems no prospect OF our hear
ing OF them for a good many days, and
even possibly weeks. As nearly every
prominent financial shark is pointing out,
the general condition of the country is
eally perhaps improving Money is
plentiful, the balance of trade has been
in our favor quite remarkably, the rail
roads have good prospects, and there is
a fair promise that tariff legislation VIII
be speedy ard efficacious Our foreign
complications may he considered almost no
further menace at all All of these things
nRlst be considered, even when the market
is as flat as it is at present, and when
it shows no signs of Improvement.
Still they should not be considered as
of so much value as to amount to a full
guarantee OF prosperity The fact that
the trade balance is in our favor means,
too, that we feel so poor that we don't
afford To import foreign goods. This
is not cheerful. The plethora of money
means that capitalists are. still chary OF
investing in new or in old enterprises;
and there still may be much trouble in
betting through Congress such tariff iegis-
lation as will be best for us, on in st opping
it all IL that shall be best. The market
opened off yesterday, had a slight rally,
| and then weakened frghtfully.
The Northern Pacific stocks and bonds
| look as if they were going higher. There
| is certainly good reason to expect this, and
| good reason to hold on to anything that
| you may have in Northern Pacific.
J. P Morgan X Co. and the DeutSche Bank,
| as managers Of the Northern Pacific re
organization, have called from the syndi
| cate all the remaining holdings of preferred
! and common stock not called up by the first

| the preferred, less a commission of l per

| pletes the deal, as far as the syndicate is

The market continues abominably duh
and fiat. The amount of business done
yesterday was phenome nally small. The
whole situation is only interesting be-
cause it is so peculiarly unintercsting. The
short holding is increasing all the time,

ing under the strain of the declines and

on which to base predictions that there

Among the many faults of the nine

The world, one says, is full of hurry

marvels i'll patience and leisureliness

commence a courtship by what is re-
garded now as the next to the last word
in it, "Will you marry me-" and they
had little use fer preliminaries. If the
gentlewoman was wise and virtuOus,
she of course, knew Immediately what
to say, for she previously had been in

her dowry, and few minutes only We're

A western senator, who has always
been addicted to the habit Of wearing
striped underwear, had narrow escape
recently on that very account. The
striped underwear worn by the distin-
guished senator looked for all the world
like prisoner garb, but of course that
aspect of the case did not suggest itself
to the senator. While en- route to Wash
ington on one occasion the fact came to
him i'll striking way, 1t was on a
sleeping car at night. The car pitched
and threw him out of the lower berth
on to the floor, clad in his striped under
wear
The lurch of the car startled other
folks, too, and two ladies on the opposite
side of the senator stuck their heads out
to see what the cOmmOtiOn was all
about. When they saw the senator crawl
ing under cover III his striped garb,
thinking he was an escaped convict
they screamed, and pandemonium reign
ed The porter was summoned, where
upon the ladies commanded him to re-
move the "convict "
1t took all the senatorial courtesy"
the senator could rake up to prove an
alibi, and he was finally able to demon
strate who he was, but he has since
abandoned the idea of wearing striped
underwear, having reached the cOnclu-
sion that plain fiannels without stripes
are much better and far safer. WASH

Inllian Rainmakers.

All the Indian tribes had rainmakers,
and some are yet left This is one of
their mcthoGs Of operations y large
body of Greek Indians had gathered, all
decked ont in their best tinery. Two
elderly men retired short distance and
seemed to be mumbling to each other
something like prayers or invOcations
After some time a fire was made on the
bank of the stream when the two rain
makers gave an order, and IA young man
plunged into the river, which was there
very deep. When he came up, he had a
blue catfish III his hand, which one of
the old men took and threw into the
fire. the tribe looking on in perfect ST.
lence. Then there was more mumbling,
accompanied by various contortions and
gesticulations, when the gathering dis
persed. 1t rained that night. Perhaps,
OH the whole, the Indian rainmaker is
more generally successful than the civil
lized, one occasionally appearing on the
frontier in times of drought, the former
having a shrewder and more experienced
forecast of weather probabilities and
putting in his incantations at the right

A HindOo named Bava Luchman Dass
is attracting the interested attention Of
the London medical profession. Mr.
Dass is Il Yogi, and if all Yogis are like
Mr. Dass the ordinary treatises on an.
atOmy must be subjected to revision. He
was exhibited to the Students Anatom
zeal society Of St Georges hospital and
introduced by the lecturer as IAN unu-
sually complicated specimen of the In
dian Yogi-a Brahman, namely, of a
very high caste-who goes through GER
tain religious exercises with a view of
qualifying himself better for paradise. ?"
These religious exercises seem to take
physical form, and Mr. Dass, a little,
dark gentleman sat upon the table and
proceeded to exhibit selection from the
S4 abnormal positions which he has put
i'll 40 solid years in learning.
He seemed to have lgaments Of the
gutta pcrcha persuasion, while his
joints evidently work on all bearings
He formed his legs into cravat and
tied them about his neck He hoped
about on one hand and strolled about
jauntily on his knees, a position which
Is said to greatly assist thought, though
the thoughts Of a white man in such a
position would hardly be fit for publica-
ton. He folded his legs tightly around
his body and stood thOughtfully on his
finger tips for several minutes, i'll which
posture he declared he was able to re-
main for seven days. However, as the
medical students did not wish TO carry
out this particular experiment to its bit
ter end, Mr.. Dass proceeded to tie him
self up in a knot and to go to sleep OH
one leg like a flamingo. Then sitting
down suddenly he brought the soles of
his feet together, his knees being at such
an acute angle that nothing short of
complete dislocation could have made
the performance possible, The lecturer
endeavOred to follow his movements on
an extremely suggestive looking skeleton
which he had by his side and finally
came to the conclusion that Mr. Dass
had no ligaments at al.-London
