 New York, Jan. 6.-Though the receipts since Jan. have been only moderate this is the first day on which receipts haye been de- cidcdly meagre, being not only less than this day. last week but hardly more than this day last year. The interior movement tco, shows a sharp falling off. The effect of this was felt both here and in Liverpool causing an advance in both markets March opened at 69s. advanced to 7.G4, reacted on realizing sales to 69S then rallied and closed at 7.0267.03, with the tone steady. After the close 7.0S was freely bid fro March. The advance would have been much more decided but for the heavy realizing sales. The effect of the frequent recent set-backs in the market has been to convince the hold CTS of the wisdom of taking moderate profit whenever they can be had. Besides there is practically no short interest so that any advice must be upon the sheer merits of cotton stiIl. If receipts continue to dwindle for few days longer, which we think likely spinners will take the alarm and higher prices will be inevitable. RIORDAN & Co
 Chicago Change.
 Chicago, Jan. 6.-The bulls suffered complete route today. the market being all most in panic. Tho amount of long wheat sold, regardless of price, was something enormous and had it not been for the cover ing purchases by one or two commission houses, the break might possibly have been even more serious than it was. It was note worthy that some of the largest selling or ders were in the hs nds of people who trade for St. Louis almost exclusively. There were, however, several big lines sold for the account of local professionals No doubt the main inducement for the southwest to pursue the course 1t did was the recent heavy snows and the consequent improve ment in the position of the growing wheat in and the close almost at the inside figures. May wheat opened from S3hc to S3ssc, de- clined to S13sc, closing at S119-1A 13sc under yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and 2c lower.
 Corn-Corn opened steady and thereafter fluctuated mildly, taking motive and in spiratlon from wheat. Occasional periods average the trade was slow and listless May corn opened at 2512Q 25Ssc, sold between 259sc and 25A@253sc, closing at the inside A@$sc under yesterday. Cash corn was strong.
 The customary amount of local trading took place in oats. There was, however. the usual absence of interest and lack of were in sympathy with the ruling action of wheat. May closed ssq4@c under yesterday. Cash oats were steady, closing nominally weak with the futures.
 Steadincss marked the early trading in product. Dealings were of minor import ance. No outside orders coming to hand and packers and professionals doing the easy, which fact tended to discourage buy ing. The drop in wheat caused an easy tone to develop late in the season. May pork closed Dc lower, May lard 2l3c lower, and May ribs a shade lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Liverpool bought here; shorts covered, there was some new buying and the receipts at the ports and interior towns were light.

Many oper ators expect higher prices if the receipts there was a slight reaction on local realiz- ing, but the last prices showed substantial net improvement for the day.

A Dom Pedro Fete.

The recent funeral of Nine Furtado-
Heine, which took place at the chateau
of Rocquencort, recalled q pretty story
Of marvellous fete given few years
ago in honor of Dom Pedro II of Brazil.
In September, 1890, the emperor, then
but recently exiled, after reign of so
years, was staying at Versailles, pass
ing the autumn months with his daugh-
ter, the Comtesse d'Eu. One day, as he
passed before the iron ratings of the
garden of the castle Rocquencort, he
saw the splendid lighthouses and the mass
i've beds of flowers. Curious to know
who lived there, he said he would much
like to visit the estate. Nine Furtado-
Heine hurried to receive him and
showed him round the garden and
through the hothouses. Madame" said
Dom Pedro, II see the vegetation of
my country; the trees are the same, and
I breathe and smell the same flowers. I
owe to you the first joy that I have felt
since my exile. Thank you, thank you. 3"
II hope the emperor will feel at home
here" said Nine. Heine. my doors
will ever be open to receive your males
ty." A week after Dom Pedro returned
and consented to remain to dinner. The
walls of the dining room were decorated
with rose leaves of every color and
formed the imperial arms of Brazil
The park was illuminated, and splen-
did concert was given in his honor

The Saw.

Pliny says that the saw was first in
vented by D8dalus, but, according to
Apollodorus, it was the invention of
Talus, who used the jawbOne of q croco-
die to cut through piece Of wood and
then madc IN iron instrument in imita-
ton Of it. The saw is represented Oil
the monuments of Egypt from $500 to
5000 B. G. AS early as 4. D. 1922
sawmills driven by water power were i'll
operation at Augsburg, and, it is be-
ieved, before this they were in opera
ton i'll Paris, driven by the current of
the Seine. The first sawmill erected in
the Norway pineries was in 1880 Saw
mills were numerous in Italy in the six
teenth century. They We're not intro
duced into England until 1868, when a
native of Holland built one, but was
compelled to abandon it by the opposi-
ton of the populace, carpenters and
other artisans, who saw no good in such
a new tangled continuance.

How Lover Worked.

Samuel Lovers daughter, Mrs Fan.
ny Schmid, writes her recollections Of
1.-THE Author of Rory O'More'" for
The Century. Mrs. Schmid says: His
industry was such that in the busiest
years of his life he did not even grant
himself time to look at the daily papers,
or to read any new book that was much
talked of. His wife always read the pa
pers and the new books for him, giving
him in conversation resume of the
news of the day and the contents of the
books, SO that he was always we'll in
formed of everything that was going on.
If anything exceedingly important was
on hand in the political world, or if any
part of q book was particularly interest
ing or well written, these she would
read to him while he was painting.
Many artists are as dumb as fishes at
their easels, but he could converse
charmingly while he was painting,
which was particularly pleasant quail
ity for his sitters. In painting or in
writing he worked indefatigably, and
seemed to be independent of the
moods" to which many artists appear
to be victims. AS to his songs, he used
to say himself that he never wrote a
song in his life except when he couldn t
help it.
The songs used to "come to him, :"
generally words and melody simulta-
neously, SO that he had only to write
them down. Frequently the idea of a
song would come when he was occupied
with something quite different, as, for
instance, while painting. He would
then leave his easel, write down the
idea and return to his work. Afterward
he would return to the idea and work
it out.

ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.
People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical Convcniences.

People Two Thousand Years Ago Had
Some Practical Convcniences.
In two of the museums Of old Roman
antiquities at Naples there arc several
water heaters, which indicate that the
principle of the water tube, the crown
ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood and appreciated some 200
years ago. Mr.. w. I. Bonner of Gin
cinnati has been investigating these
heaters and found them to be as inter
esting as they are beautiful One Of
them consists of an outer shell IL
inches in diameter and nearly II inches
high, surmountcd by somewhat hemi-
spherically s!iuGcd top. Inside this shell
is an internal Cylinder, also having
henlisphcrical top, which is 10 inches
i'll diameter and IL inches high The
two shells arc connected at the bottom
by u rim, like tho mud ring of loco
motive firebox, and the space between
them was filled with water. The CRATE
was formed of seven tubes made from
sheet bronze, rolled and soldered or
brazed. These tubes open at both ends
into the bottom of the space between
the shells, thus forming water tube
CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed ON the CRATE
through an opening 4.8 inches high and
A inches wide, closed by a beautifully
decorated door. The gases from the fire
escaped into the outer air through three
small openings formed by tubes cross
ing from the inner to the outer shell
about 5.6 inches above the CRATE The
whole apparatus was raised about 10
inches on tripod so as to allow air to
reach the fuel. In another boiler of
somewhat the same type the outer shell
has the form of an urn, while the inner
shell rises from water tube CRATE to
an opening in the side. 1t is 10 inches
i'll diameter at the widest part, 17.6
inches high and supported Oh tripod
about inches high. Its general shape
is much like that of the silver cream
pitchers known as the Paul Revere pat
terms, although, of course, it is much
larger and has top closed by lid 1t
has been suggested that these utensils
may have served at some time to heat
wine as well as water, which sugges-
ton appears reasonable, as many his
torians state that the Pompeiians made
great use of hot drinks. It may be that
they were found in one of the termpodi
or cafes, Of which there were several in

OUTWITTING AN EDITOR.
An Exciting Political Scheme In Which
McCullagh Figured.

An Excit1ng Political scheme In Which
McCullagh Figured.
When David R. Francis was a candi-
date for governor Of Missouri, his
friends succeeded in using The Globe
Democrat to further his chances Of cleo
ton. Editor McCullagh had turned on
"Our Dave" as Mr.. Francis is known
In st. Louis, with his short paragraphs
with telling effect, and Francis friends
got together and concocted scheme to
offset the editorial work of the paper.
They wrote out display advertisement,
and at a late hour of the Saturday
morning Immediately preceding the
election Of 1888 took it to the counting
room Of The Globe Democrat. The clerk
on duty gave the copy casual looking
over and without word accepted it.
It occupied full page, and at length
and in glowing terms set forth the
great business capacity and eminent
qualifications of Mr.. Francis to occupy
the gubernatorial chair of Missouri.
That advertisement caused the big
gest row ever witnessed in a newspaper
Office in st. Louis. When Editor Nc
Cullagh found what had been done, he
ragged and stormed for week. The fast
mail had distributed the paper all over
Missouri before McCullagh had his at
tention called to it. He left his quarters
at the Southern hotel on trot. Reach
ing the corner of Fourth and Pine
streets, he found the streets and the
Office Of The Globe Democrat jammed
with people, who were clamoring to
stop their subscriptions. McCullagh had
filled column ON the editorial page
with 'squibs" strongly opposing Fran
CHS and advocating the Republican NOM
inee, but the big display of Francis
friends was the first thing seen ON open
ing the paper
Mr.. McCullagh at once issued an ex-
ira, in which he deprecated the over
sight by which the advertisement had
found its way into the paper, but it
was some time before The Globe Dem
ocrat office recovered its equilibrium.
