Financial.
Feeling In the Stock Market Yesterday
Was More Confident.

was more COnnuent.
New York. Jan. 15.-The feeling in
stock circles to-day was more confident
than for some time past. mainly owing
to the remarkably favorable statement
of the foreign commerce of the country
for the month of December and the cali
endar year 1896, the steady increase in
the treasury gold reserve and the SUI
perabundance of money both here and
in London.
These influences have apparently
served to stimulate interest, not only
in investments, but also in the specula-
tive markets, They have induced the
recognized bulls to take a fresh hold,
and at the same time have frightened
the shorts. The latter made active eff
forts to cover, and their purchases, to-
gether with fair demand for foreign
account, helped along the rising tenden-
\ y of prices.
The market was strong from the
opening to the close of the session, the
dealings having been better distribut-
ed than of late and the advances in
prices having been general. No atten-
ton was paid to the Cuban troubles,
which for the moment have been rele-
gated to the background. The upward
movement in Sugar gained additional
force from the announcement of q fur
Their advance in prices of refined and
from adyices from Washington that If
any change is made in the tariff on SUI
gars it will not be detrimental to the
interests Of the sugar refiners.
The contest between the American
Sugar company and Arbuckle Brothers,
In which there are no signs of a let-up,
failed to check the advance. The COM
mission houses reported more nunler-
Gus orders for stocks for outside ac-
count. although it is admitted that the
business is still to large extent pro-
fessional.
The advance in prices was equal to n
OH per cent, the latter in Wheeling
and Lake Erie preferred, which sold up
to 144 on reports of negotiations for
the settlement of the soft-coal rate war.
Sugar, the grangers, Louisville and
Nashville, Manhattan Tennessee Coal
and Iron, Western Union and Chicago
Gas were conspicuous both in point Of
activity and advance. The last named
was materially strengthened by a
statement made by Ex-Governor Flow
er that the regular quarterly dividend
of III per cent. will shortly be declared,
and also by growing belief that the Il
linois legislature will permit the con-
stituent companies comprising the So
called trust to consolidate.
The market closed strong at the top
prices of the day. Net changes show
advances of 5h@2 per cent, Manhattan
leading. In the specialties Illinois Steel
jumped 3, to 81.
Bonds were active and strong. The
transactions footed up $2,249,0O0

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

To Well Known and Estimable Resi-
dent
Mrs. Pardee, the well known Bradley
street fancy goods dealer. while re-
turning home in her carriage, Satur-
day evening, met with a serious acct
dent at the corner of State and Bradley
streets
In trying to rein in her horse to avoid
running over a pedestrian, who slipped
and fell, she, thinking she had run
over him, tainted and fell off the seat.
AS the reins became wound around her
arm she was dragged along the ground
some distance on her face.
She was carried unconscious to her
home nearby, and DR. Converse imme-
diately called. Her face is badly LAGER
ated and on account of the shock to
her nerves she is in precarious con-
dition, and serious results are feared.

p, m, train leaves Chicago over
the famous Santa Fe route, which
makes the run to Southern California
in less than three days. This train is
composed of Pullman palace vestibuled

An OMcial Rat. Catcher.

Paris boasts of an official rat-catch.
er. he has served his town in this
capacity for over thirty-fve years, and
he tells with pride that during that
time he has caught, unaided by a trap,
over q million rats with his own hands.
he is extremely proud of his profess
sion and on his card is emblazoned a
crest formed by two rats rampant.
Nowadays the labors of the strange
mar are not particularly remunerative,
but during the siege the official rat
catcher made q small fortune; then not
only the common folk but the purvey-
ors of the great restaurants were only
too glad to pay a franc for a well-fed
rodent. Indeed, at some times the
price of a plump rat al up to about
sixty cents. The official rat-catcher
and his assistant search out their VIC
tins in the famous Paris sewers, and
he frequently sells his tiny animals to
people who are fond of turning the
creatures together and betting on their
abilities to fight.

It's people, according to the best au-
thorities, are descendants of the cliff
jewellers, and the pyramidal form of
their community houses was another
device to protect themselves from their
hereditary enemies, the Apaches, the
Navajoes and the Utes. A captain un-
der Coronado, who came up from
Mexico in search Of the tabled seven
cities of Cibola, whose people ate from
golden dishes, discovered these pyra-
mids in 1910, and they stand to-day
just as he described them, though one
story dwellings have sprung up about
the foot of the pyramids since the
American occupation assured peace.
The larger building has ninety-seven
rooms and the smaller seventy-two.
The inhabitants number about 400.
The walls of these community
houses are made of these bricks dried
IN the sun. The front wall of the
second story was built back from the
front of the first story, making a broad
terrace. The succeeding stories were
constructed in similar manner, and as
all four sides of the building were ter
raced the structure became a pyramid.
The roofs were formed by laying sap
lngs across the walls and covering

the corn and wheat between stones
and this rude mill is known as
metate.
The courts have decided that the
pyramid jewellers are citizens of the
United States under the treaty Of
Hidalgo Guadalupe, by which the
southwest was acquired from Mexico,
but they do not want to be citizens,
and the Government has scarcely
treated them as such. The grant Of
six square miles of the fertile, we'll.
watered valley Of Taos, made by the
Spaniards more than a hundred years
ago, has been confirmed by Uncle
Sam, and the people support them
selves by farming, They do much Of
their blowing with sticks dragged
through the soft soil by ponies. The
chief crops are corn and wheat. The
wheat is thrashed, as in biblical times,
by ponies trampling out the grain. It
is winnowed by throwing it into the
air with a pitchfork on a windy day.
The grain is then separated from the
heavier straw by running it through a
sieve made of sheep skin punched full
of holes and stretched on a wooden
frame. In this process considerable
dirt clings in the creases of the kernels,
and the wheat has to be washed to be
cleaned, though many persons think
that too inicky.
The married men of the pyramid
community elect a set of officers once
q year. There are a Governor, q Lieu
tenant Governor, an Alcade, a War
Captain and several Assistants. The
Inauguration takes place on New Years
Day in the church. The old officers
on one side of the room and the
new officers on the other. They march
in single file toward the altar; and, as
they meet, the old Gobernador passes
to his successor a silver-headed ebony

Christian doctrines for many genera
tons and brought the simple natives
to such an understanding that they
resent any Inference with their Chris
tian rites. At the same time they
continue their pagan ceremonies in
secret-except their annual sun dance.
They have several covered holes in the
ground, each perhaps twenty-five feet
in diameter and fifteen feet deep.
They are known as estufas. Here the
pagan priests perform the mystic rites
of their sun worship, and M white
man is permitted to witness them.
These people also have organizations
corresponding to the secret societies OF
civilized communities, whose members
meet and lounge in the ~estufas, and
! women are seldom or never allowed to
enter them. The entrance to these
places is by a ladder through the roof.
A hollow in the middle of the floor
serves for a fireplace. At the bottom
of the wall enter small shafts, which
permit cold air to come in from the
outside. The heated air from the fire
flies out at the opening above, and
thus this primitive people solved the
problem Of ventilation centuries before
civilized man CROPPED his way out of
the darkness of sanitary error. The
feather is a symbol Of prayer with the
pyramid.dwellers. They tie the downy
feather of an eagle to a twig, stick it
in the ground in an out Of the way
place where it is not likely to be dis
turbed, and so long as it remains there
it is a prayer constantly going up to
the Trues above.
The event of the year in the pagan
religion is the thanksgiving day of the
sun worshipers. The Christian priests
have inaugurated the day with a SER
vice at the church and they have
stamped the fiesta with the name of
the Catholic saint selected by their
forerunners as the patron saint of the
community. The fiesta is therefore
known as st. Geronimo (St. Jerome)
Day, and the images from the Chris
tan church overlook the pagan per-
formances from a bower. All but the
church service is b survival of the
pagan era.
Offerings of sheep, grain and fruits
are hung up on a pole in thanksgiving
to the sun for warm weather and good
crops, and the sun father is pretty
sure to be smiling on his worshipers.
There is q queer sun dance, in which
the men, with bodies painted and
decked with feathers, chant praises to
the sun. Then follows arace between
the young men, lasting perhaps two
in which the contestants run
back and forth in relays. After din
ner the chifonetis (priests of the SUM-
with bodies striped in black and white,
like zebras, amuse the people with
such b~uffoonery as may be suggested
by the occasion, much the same as the
clown of a circus, making faces,
cracking jokes and making elaborate
attempts at various feats, only to fail.

turned, the remains Of an extinct bird
which in life measured twelve feet in
height. The bird, as DR.. Stirling de-
scribes it, is unknown to history. In
some respects, it resembles the ele-
phant-footed moa, and in others the
emu of the present day. It difera
from all in so great a degree, however,
as to prove it to have been of a class
by itself. Large quantities of the res
mains were discovered, showing that
centuries ago this great-feathered crea-
ture wal a common sight on, the Aus.
tralisn plains.
The place of discovery is called
Lake CALEDONIA and is located in
South Australia. If it has at any time
been visited by other than the natives,
DR.. Stirling found no trace of the fact;
Lake Callabonna is one Of those basins
which are dignifed with the name Of
lake, but only become such during
those tremendous downpours of water
which transform the seeming Aus,
tralian desert into the v~erdure-clad
plain. While DR.. Stirling visited it,
it was really a hard clay salt pan, COW
cred with glittering crystals of gypsum
and salt. It is salt that preserved the
bones. Salt accomplishes this, all
though it renders the bones exceed
ingly brittle. The remains of the big
bird were found associated with those
of the other extinct marsupials. Owing
to the fact of the extreme brittleness
caused by the salt, the task of recover
ing and preserving them was m of
exceeding difficulty. 1t was, however,
accomplished safely, and so far as can
be determined, all that was necessary
to make up a perfect specimen of the
bird secured.
