SPIDER AND MUSIC.
He Danced From the Ceiling Before
the Astonished Choir.

At recent rehearsal of the Apollo Male
Quartet Of Coldwater, Mich. a large spider
came slowly down his silkpn thread to
at out the height of the singers shoulders,
where he hung suspended for a few min
utes, then began to move up and down in
front of the music rack.
The second tenor, who was leading the
air, soon noticed that the movements of the
spider corresponded with the variations of
his voice, up and down the scale, and in
perfect time. They then began a series
of experiments, and found that the spider
would ascend or descend about foot for
every octave, and though the melody was
carried ever so lightly, and the bassos
thundered in their heaviest tones, the in
sect could not be deceived but always fol-
lowed the leading part accurately and with
the precision of directors baton
All kinds of songs, from Down in the
Cornfield'' to 1.-The Bridge" We're sung to
test the ability of this wonderful little be-
ing, and each time he came out of the con-
fllct rot beat behind at last the four
voices struck anawful discord and instantly
the spider scurried up his improvised metro
nome and disappeared in the chimney

THE LEGION OF LOYAL WOMEN
They Debated the Most Inter esting
Incidents of Modern History

Incidents OF Modern History
The Legion OF Loyal Women held its
monthly good of the order meeting last
night at the headquarters, No 419 Tenth
street northwest. The question of the
evening; AT what historical event during
the nineteenth century would you have
preferred to be present, and why?'' was
discussed by several ladies', each of whom
contested her choice so eloquently that
no decision could be made.
Mrs Z. s. Mussey selected the Congress
of religions at the Worlds Fair, because it
marked the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man; Mrs. NJ E Cutter, the
surrender Of Lee, because it ended the civil
war and preserved US an undivided country:
Miss Antoinette Tanner, the corolation of
the car, because there We're congregated
the pOInp, beauty, wealth, and glory Of
the world; and Miss NJ. L. Smith would
have preferred witnessing the first steam
boat that went up the Hudson with Robert
Fulton, because it marked the era of rapid
transit, the progress of the world, and
consequently the Improvement and happi-
ness OF the human race.
A description of the Century Club, of
Philadelphia, was given by Mrs. Julia E
b. Smith, and Mrs. NJ. A. Lamb spoke inter

Frances NJ. Jacobs sang a solo, followed

With Regard to Bargains

Franklin's advice, ''Never buy thing
because it is cheap" would have been
qualified if he had lived in the days of
midwinter sales. The shops at the moment
show many desirable bargains, and the
needs of family are so persistent and con-
tinuous that it is good Judgment to fore
stall them when so or 70 per cent may
be saved by so doing. Many economical
mothers buy heavy winter flannels for
their ehildren's use another year now that
they are offered at greatly reduced prices.
Winter Jackets and coats, too. for both
girls and boys, are to be had in early
February at prices that are half of those
;skcd d in November.

The activity in Northern Pacific issues
continued yesterday. The buying OF last
week was continued. This buying is at
tributed to foreign interests already large

probable that the strong interests Will be
found on the long side or Northern Pacific
this week, and the rumors are still cur
rent that the good feeling between Northern
Pacific and Great Northern will eventuate
in a strong advance in Northern Pacific Sc
curitics. Large amounts were liquidated
yesterday above SO, but the demand CON
tinued good all day and the stock closed
above the opening. j K Willard & Co.

The Tape and the Ticker

The opening of the market yesterday
was generally firm and higher than Sat
urday's closing prices The market held
its strength for some time. and the out
siders who got in at all got in wrong,
as they frequently do, buying on a strong
market instead of ON q decline Before
the day was over they were usually wiped
out, If they were trading ON a 1 per cent
margin. Closing hours yesterday showed
Monday to be another Monday. For the
last three or four weeks the first day OF
the week has been one OF selling and of
declines. The day was mitch such day
on the exchange as Monday, the Sth of
January, when the incipient boom of the
week before was fiattened out completely
and gave place to a duh and weak mar
ket. 1t is hardly worth while trying to
predict what will occur today 1t is q
professional market almost entirely. 1t
would seem probable, however, that stocks
Will not go higher.

The feature of the day was the bond
market. There was an enormous demand
and a steady advance in railway aud mis-
cellaneous bonds. The transaction in This
department OF the stock exchange footed
up the large total OF S3,95S 900, and the
business was unusually well distributed.
Foreign houses, as well as local firms,
We're H. the market for good bonds, and IN
many cases, owing to the advance in price,
commission orders could not be executHd.
one explanation for the activity is that
capitalists, dissatisfied with the rates
obtained in the money market, are seeking
other outlets for their funds. Under this
buying yesterday, an advance OF 1-2 TO
4 1-2 per cent took place The improve
ment was not confined to the gilt-edged
issues by any means, hut the specidIties
also participated.

Crest of the High Water Reached at
CairO-The South I'm Danger.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Prof. W.
L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
today issued the following special bull
letin: The crest of the flood wave is
still at Cairo, which shows a stationary
gauge reading of 51.6 for the past four
days.
There Is great danger yet to come
from the flood in the region from
Helena southwark to New Orleans The
river will continue to rise for at least
ten days in the region from Helena
southwark to Vicksburg, and to rise
during longer period from Vicksburg
southwark. If no break occurs before,
levees will be subjected to the greatest
strain about April 10, in southeast
Arkansas, western Mississippi and In
Louisiana. Should the levees break the
result will be one of the most disas-
trous floods ever known
Weather conditions now indicate ad-
ditional heavy rainfall in the middle
and lower Mississippi valleys, which
will materially intensity the food con-
ditions. Those living in districts over
flowed in former years should be on
the safe side and transfer stock and
movable property to places of known
safety, while there is yet time.
