Boston Wool Market

BOSTON, Oct. 27.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
1t has been a wearisome week in the
wool market, so intensified has the dull
ness become. There has been another ten
per cent decline in the volume of sales
and had it not been for the fact that a
small number of houses engaged in dis
proportionately large dealings. the falling
off would have been even more striking
No one wants to buy wool at this time, and
no one appears to want to sell badly
enough to break prices materially. Some
of the dealers report that it would require
good sized concessions to induce much
speculative buying, but others report a
directly opposite state of affairs. Prices
are very well maintained at from 2 to 8
cents below the highest asking prices of
the boom. There has been a demand with
the larger movement in carpet woods, but
nearly every other kind of wool has re-
manned very quiet. Sales in Boston for
the week aggregated 2,710000 pounds, of
which 1.995.0O0 pounds were domestic and
1.115,0O0 pounds foreign.

GREAT WORK OF WOOD.

He Continues to Beat His Competitors
In spite of Disadvantage.
CLEVELAND, March l0.-Frank Wal.
Ter, the Flying Dutchman," is suffer
ing from blood poisoning in his foot
and probably will not appear again in
the six.day bicycle race. He suffered
agony all last evening, but would not
give up until he had to.
Gimm and Schoch stated that they
would not go on unless the three laps
allowed Wood for his fall, when he was
fouled by Clifford, were taken away
from him. Referee Canary would not
listen to any such proposition, and the
race would have been practically broken
up had not Wood offered to give up one
lap, putting him even with Gimm and
but one lap ahead of Schoch and Gift
ford. This was agreed to.
After five hours riding Wood went
out alone and easily gained back his
lap again, riding the legs off Gimm
and everyone else on the track. He
went out again two minutes before the
finish and gained lap on Clifford and
Ashinger, and was half q lap in ad-
vance of Gimm, Schoch and Dench at
the close, which, however, counts him
nothing. The score:
Wood, 226 miles lap; Gimm, 226
miles Schoch, 225 miles IA laps Clifford,
225 miles 13 laps; Ashinger, 224 miles
| 10 laps Dench, 2l3 miles laps Waller
| ia miles IA laps.

SHE'S WELL EDUCATED.
q Woman Who Has Learned Entirely by
Careful Listening.

q Woman Who Has Learned Entirely by
Careful Listening.
The wonderful development of certain
faculties in the cases of persons who
have lost the use of some of their natural
functions, or of others whose faculties
have not been fully developed, has long
been matter of remark, but it is not
alone the outside observers who appre-
ciate the provisions of nature for the
benefit of the unfortunates. The suffer-
ers themselves often appreciate this full
ly, and in some instances, after years,
grow to depend so much upon their ac-
quired faculties as to be afraid Of a
change, even if they have the chance Of
one.
An illustration Of this is given by a
woman in Brooklyn who never has
learned to read or write. In no way
could one discover this except by her
own admission or by putting her to q
direct test, for she is one of the best ed i.
ucated women in the country, conver-
SAINT with languages, art, literature and
all the current topics Of the day. She is
rich, too, and could afford all the serv-
ices of the best teachers if she but chose
to learn to read, but she refuses to do So
When this woman was a child, her
parents lived far from schools, so she
had no chance then to learn to read or
write. AS q mere child she began to
earn her own living, and again the
chance for schooling slipped away. Then
she married and the cares of a family
took up her time. BY the time the ba-
bies were off her hands, her husband
had grown rich, and then she began her
real education, and now as widow,
she continues it. Her companions read
to her and talk with her about all the
work have stored her mind with rich
treasure of knowledge, and there is not
page of q book that has been read tC
her that she is not familiar with. Hel
stores of knowledge are at her instant
command. Why will she not learn tC
read? Because, she says, she fears that
this wonderful memory, which is now
such treasure house to her, might be
impaired if she were to do anything tc
weaken the demands upon it.
What such a memory can do is well
illustrated in the case of q tailor of this
city who cannot read or write. He is
probably the most widely known mar
in his business here, as for many years
he has done business with New York:
firemen and policemen. Almost every
man of these two bodies has dealings
with. this tailor, and each month be
tween the first and the tenth days ht
visits every station house and engine
and truck house in this city to collect
his dues. He has acquired considerable
wealth, and ii is said of him that in al
the years he has dealt with the firemer
and policemen he never was known t.
make a mistake Of a cent in any mans
account, although all his records o.
transactions have been kept in his head

HIGH WATER AGAIN.

Another Flood.
MERCHANTS PREPARING TO MOVE.
rhey Fear the Lower Business Streets
VIII he OverHowed-A Heavy Rain
Causing the Tributaries of the Ohio
River to Rise.

CINCINNATI, March 10.-The flood
situation here has become alarming. A
thunderstorm north and east of Gin.
cinnati, only selvage of which passed
over this city, added three. fourths of
an inch to the rainfall here in less than
All hour. Captain Bassler of the United
States signal service says: "The storm
is now central over the lake region and
an area of low pressure extends from
Arkansas clear over the entire Ohio
valley. All streams south of the Ohio
are teeming full and the situation is
altogether discouraging.
This put an alarming phase on the
situation in view of the widespread de-
struction of the late flood probably to
be followed by a greater. Reports from
the White river region of Southern In
diana and from Washington Court
house, o., are that railroad communica-
tion is still greatly interrupted and in
some places cut off entirely. News
from the headwaters of the Kanawha
and the Monongahela thus far is en-
couraging, but from the signal service
report there is reason TO fear that all
this will be changed.
At midnight the river here was 40
feet inches-l5 inches above the dan
ger line-and rising inches an hour.
Merchants in the lowlands are prepar-
ing to move their goods out of danger
and dreading the news the wires may
bring from West Virginia.

He shows Up Wei In the Cleveland
Bicycle Race.


CLEVELAND. March 9.-Louis Gimm,
Albert Schoch, Frank Waller, George
Dench, Ed. Clifford, Charles Ashinger
and Harry Wood are in the six days
bicycle race at the Central armory here.
The racers are to contest five and half
hours each day up to Saturday, begin.
ming at . O'Clock in the afternoon and
riding until 10. On Saturday they will
start at 2 80 and the finish of the race
will be at l0;30 Saturday evening. Tha
will make 80 hours in all. The gate re-.
ceipts will be divided between the
riders. The 10 lap track was not wide
enough to start all of them on the tape,
so three were sent away in front, with
the remaining tour following.
The race developed a decided sur.
prise in Harry Wood. the Oberlin rider,
novice at six.days' racing At the
series of accidents, lost over mile.
Clifford, Dench and Wood went out and
gained lap on Schoch, Gimm and
Waller. Wood went right on for an.
other, and this time Gimm stayed with
him. This put Wood lap ahead of
Gimm, Clifford and Dench and two laps
ahead of Waller and Schoch.
Later Clifford fouled Wood in brush,
giving him terrible fall, for which
Clifford was fined lap. Wood pluckily
remounted within the three.laps allow.
ance and lost no distance. No more
laps were gained by anyone and Wood
won out at the finish, Clifford and
Gimm being unable to pass him though
they tried hard. Dench was taken sick
and was off the track for half an hour,
leaving him bad seventh. Following

General W. II. l.. Barnes, one If the

General Barnes by Captain Richard l..
Ogden, once a clerk in the Office of the
United States quartermaster at San

copied it from Captain Ogden's diary.

had expected to buy passage for himself
to New York in the steerage, but Ogden
went with him to the Pacific Mail
steamship Office and procured for him a
cabin passage pass, or what was the
nearest to it the steamship company
could give, for Grant had to pay his
railroad fare across the isthmus. This,
however, left him $40, and Grant was
very grateful.
The diary quotes him as saying to
Captain Ogden: "This is great luxury

Says Her Father-In-Law Filled Her
Mouth with Plaster OF Paris.
CLEVELAND, March 10-Nellie A..
Gilbert, wife of DR.. Frederick Gilbert,
has told remarkable story in a petit
tion filed in court here. The young
woman brought suit against her hus-
bands father, DIR. G. H. Gilbert, for
$4,000 damages for the alienation of
her husbands affections, and for so, 900
for an assault alleged to have been com
mitted on her by her father. in. law.
The alleged assault, which she de-
clares was committed by DIR. @. II. Gill
bert, consisted of filing her mouth
with wet plaster of paris and permit
ting the substance to harden, thus pre-
venting her from talking. She alleges
that she was found by her brother in an
unconscious condition with the plaster
in her mouth and it was necessary to
use hammer to break the plaster be-
fore it could be taken from her mouth.
The allegation as to the alienation of
her husbands affections consists of a
charge to the effect that DIR. q. II. Gill
bert offered his son $40, 900 ami his prac.
tice if the latter would get rid of his
wife. The Gilberts are prominent peo-
pie on the South side, and the young
man and his wife recently figured in a
sensation Of which these suits are the
outcome.
