THE MOST IMPORTANT COIN.
The Cent is Now More in Demand
 Than Ever Before

The Cent is Now More in Demand
 Than Ever Before.
 Notwithstanding the rumpus raised by the disputing friends of gold and sil- yer, the most useful and hard working member of the coin family is of neither of these materials. It consists of nine ty-five per cent. of copper and five per cent. tin and zinc, and bears on it's face the legend "one cent" The rise of the cent to this position of supremacy has been rapidly going on the last few years. It doesn't require a person of advanced age or long memory to recall the time when the humble coin was practically unknown west of the Mis- sissippi. Now it's use is well-nigh un- iversal, and the demand for it is in- creasing so rapidly that the Philadel- phia mint is compelled to turn out one- cent pieces at the rate of nearly four million per month to keep up the SUD- ply. According to the estimate of the director of the mint, there are at pres ent something like one billion pennies in circulation, engaged in carrying on the small business of the country
 Two recent devices have been large ly responsible for the increased use of our only copper coin. One is the penny-in-the-slot machine, which has

Great Preparations at Hillhouse for
 Game With Meriden.
 As the time for the Hillhouse-Mer- lden game approaches the teams are settling down to hard work under their coaches Meriden is once more in the hands of her former coach, "Chuck" Spreyer, while Hillhouse is at work un- der the direction of G. Foster Sanford, assisted by John Hall. Up to this time "Chub' Morris, brother of the captain of the Hillhouse team, has had charge Of the team, but he has been called to Baltimore to coach a team there; San ford, however, who is coaching the Yale team, has kindly taken his place and Hillhouse is as hard at work as ever. A crowd of three hundred rooters or more is expected to accompany the Meriden team Saturday, but Hillhouse expects to have enough representatives to out yell them. There is no doubt that the game will be a close one, and those wishing to see what Hillhouse can do in the way of athletics will prob ably never have g, better chance than this coming Saturday, All who wish to obtain tickets can do 50 from any mem- Der of the high school or at the gate. The game will commence promptly at 10:30 a. m.

More Business in Stocks Yesterday, but
 Prices Continue to Fall Off.
 New York, Nov. 4.-To-d days business on the stock exchange was larger than that of yesterday, but the losses in prices quoted at the close are nowhere near so large as those of yesterday AL though the liquidation has been very heavy, large blocks of stock being thrown on the market, there has been good support forthcoming at the de- cline.
 Although the general course of the general course of the market was downward, this course was constantly interrupted by rallies and as one of these periodical recoveries came in the last half hour of trading the days net declines are small except in some of the less active stocks. Prices for American securities received from London at the time of the opening here showed recov- cries of fraction all around, and the opening prices here were advanced to the London parity, which was the high est price of the day on the local ex- change.
 Reaction soon set in and Sugar show ed signs of continued weakness. Later in the day an authorized statement re- porting satisfactory progress towards recovery from surgical operation by the president of the company steadied this stock and eliminated one of the

principal clements of weakness in the recent market. Many Of the standard railway shares showed firm resistance to the downward tendency all day and helped the tone of the general market.
 The coalers showed some recovery from yesterdays weakness and St. Paul and Burlington held their own quite firmly. Arbitrage brokers bought stock in this market for London ac- count, but this was probably to cover selling contracts made at the early higher level in London. Nevertheless, it helped to counteract the weakness in the local market
 Traffic returns from railroads were another favorable influence, Missouri Pacific showing an increase in earnings of $166.000 for the fourth week in Oc- tober and Chesapeake and Ohio an in crease of over $43,000 for the same per- iod. In comparing current traffic re- turns with those of a year ago it is pointed out that the period for this year has had two Sundays while that of a year ago had only one. In the case of the grain carrying roads also last years October business was very large, thus making this years compar- ison less striking. Consolidated Gas declined to-day SA, Pullman 2ls and Sugar preferred 2H.
 Bonds moved in sympathy with stock and showed declines. Total sales, $1,- 475,000.

Pnne and Soldier.

The pope used to be the idol Of the
French soldiers during the occupation of
Rome and did not disdain to maintain
with them the intimate relations and
cordiality of village pastor. Whenever
there was a regiment called home, its
members never failed to visit his holi-
ness to obtain his benediction, and the
soldiers were always warmly received.
One day a trooper made a singular and
daring request-that the pope would say
a mass for him, for him alone. The
pope consented. 'But, " said the sol
der, Il want TO be present. " well, "
answered the pope, come at 3 tomor-
row to my private chapel No one but
yourself shall be admitted. - "Tomor-
row." suddenly replied the soldier.
Tomorrow I've got to go to the station
to see some of the boys off; but the day
after, pope, I'm your man." VERY
well, my son, +" said the pope with a
smile, "day after tomorrow be it. -

KANGAROO HUNTING.
Riding TO Hounds After the Simbie Brutes
in Australia.

Riding TO Hounds After the Nimble Brutes
in Australia.
There are two ways Of hunting kanga-
roos in Australia-one followed by ma
tive hunters and the other by white
men. The natives surround a herd Of
the animals, narrow the circle and then,
when the kangercos dash at them in
wild efforts to escape, kill them with
short spears and clubs, commonly called
waddies. 1t is lively work for the native.
The kangaroo uses its hind legs viciously
and with great judgment, and dogs,
horses and men have been torn open by
the nails Of its hind feet.
The white men prefer to follow the
kangaroos with dogs. Every herd Of
kangaroos has a leader known as the
old man, or boomer, which warns its
followers Of the approach Of danger by
stamping the ground with its hind foot,
making a booming sound that starts all
the kangaroos in hearing on a run. A
scared herd will run 20 or 80 miles at
times, or until it reaches safety. A
male weighs from 100 to 175 pounds
and is or s feet long The English
make up parties of hunters and follow
the kangaroo with dogs somewhat like
foxhounds, but of greater size and
strength Women and men join in the
sport, riding to the hounds on good
horses.
Riding to the place where a herd of
the beasts had been seen the day before
by bushmen, Sportsmen' s Magazine
writer says, eve came to the bush, a
growth Of ubiquitous ii trees and tree
ferns, fit to brush one off his horse.
Quiet was the word Of caution passed
when we came near the sparsely grown
ground beyond the bush where the kan
garoos had been seen. The dogs were
called in, and then we rode from the
bush into view of the herds sentinel,
and then away went the kangaroos, fol
lowed by the dogs, and we were at the
tail tips of the dogs. The kangaroot
could not run; but, folding their foreleg'
across their breasts, they sat down.
Then, with tail and hind legs, away
they went by hops, no hop being lesl
than 30 feet long and others being more
than 80 feet. They cleared shrubs /;
feet high.
"Curiously enough, the kangaroo
travels faster up hill than down, th'
dogs catching up on the down slopes
The beast sometimes breaks its necl
while running down hill by going heaC
over heels. The does began to throw
their young out of their pouches, anC
we knew they were hard pressed. The.
turned suddenly for the water. w
found the dogs at a water hole with tw'
boomers at bay. We dismounted and
drawing our knives, waited an oppor
tunity to run in and hamstring them
A dog rushed in and was caught by
hind leg of a boomer and pressed unde
water, where it was quickly drowned
Then a dog got one Of the beasts by tn
back and threw it, whereupon my cousil

nose with my whip, killing it. We ha

TOUR TO CALIFORNIA VIA PENN
SYLVANIA RAILROAD.

In Southern California is found the
realization of a dream of the ancients.
Here are the Golden Apples of the
Hesperides," ripening beneath a sky
more perfect than that of Rome, and in
a climate more perfect than that OF
Athens. Never in the widest flights Of
his imagination did either Homer or
Hesiod ever conceive of garden richer
In verdant beauty, more productive of
luscious fruit, or set amid more pic
turesque and lovely surroundings. Here
the rose entwines the orange, and the
snow-mantled peaks of the Sierras re-
feet the golden glow Of the evening
twilight.

tours to California will leave New
York and Philadelphia March 27, stop

WROUGHT IRON FAD.
1t Had a beginning In Germany In the
Middle Ages.


Middle Ages.
There is no doubt that wrought iron
is more and more used every year in do
nestle economy and decoration. De-
servedly so. There is nothing that lends
itself so easily to the requirements Of
both utility and art. Besides, it has an
ancient and respectable history.
Germany in the fifteenth century pro-
duced much wrought iron work Of a
rather special character, such as the
grave crosses and sepulchral monuments
TO be seen in the cemeteries of Nurem
berg. Iron was also employed for well
canopies, such as that at Antwerp at
tributed to Quentin Matsys. Originally
q blacksmith from Louyain, he came to
Antwerp to seek his fortune. There, as
the story goes, he fell in love with the
daughter of painter, and, to propitiate
the daughter as well as her father, ex-
changed the anvil for the painters pa
lette, and before his death, in 1881, he
was successful in helping to raise the
school of Antwerp to a celebrity equal
to that Of the schools of Bruges and
Ghent.
Ironwork was extensively produced
at Augsburg under the fostering care
of the Fugger family, taking the shape
of brackets projecting from the walls
and grills over fanlights or in a balcony.
Grotesque knockers are also common il
Nuremberg. Keys were sometimes elab
orately decorated, and the part which
is now acommon ring was once occupied
by little figures in full relief, with coats
of arms and the like. The French revo
luton was the cause Of much splendiC
ironwork being destroyed, when, il
1898, certain provinces had to gather
together every available piece of iroI
to transform into pixies and other weap
ons. New York Herald.

better fines Of work than are now pur-
sued by the association in this commu-

fused into the organization during the
current year, and that it will perform
it's proper share of the work of saving
young men from the temptations which
beset them in a city and, in addition tC
this, educate them in a wholesome at
