Wheat Takes a Big Tumble at Chi
eago. But Later Receivers.

CHICAGO, Oct 4.-The opening in
wheat was quiet enough, and some
strength was shown. December, which
closed Saturday at 9ol4@90ss. started
to-day at from S91h9S9s4 But ten
minutes after the opening the market
was treated to break which for a
few moments put traders on the verge
of a panic. The price slumped nearly
, cents in about as many minutes. 1t
came so suddenly that the trade was
convinced that Saturdays curb sto-
ries Ct put" purchases of 3,000,00O
bushels had some foundation in fact,
and that the leading buH interests We're
getting ready to liquidate. These ru-
mors had the effect Of precipitating
general selling.
While the opening Liverpol cables
noted decline of Ssd from Saturdays s
closing, there had been a sharp rally
there later. The weather maps showed
that the drought was partially broken
in the Northwest by showers. which
covered the three big spring wheat
States.
The worlds shipments Of wheat last
week are again large, at 9,244, 600 BUSH
els, against 9.607 900 bushels a week
previous. The visible supply increased
1861 900 bushels for the week.
When the day advanced more and
more evident became the fact that
large holdings of long wheat were be-
ing thrown on the market, and that the
early surmise of the trade was sub
stantially correct. During the last
hour the market gave evidence of hav-
ing pretty thoroughly digested their Of
ferings. Liverpool closing cables show
ed an advance of I'D. and Paris was
also strong. Late in the day, when
New York reported exports of sixty
five boat loads, there was a stampede
among shorts who had oversold ON the
break, which carried the price almost
up TO opening figures. The closing
was steady at S93s bid.

The Globe" says: Judging from the
Times dispatch Henry George will
be the next Mayor. The Americans
do not exceed a quarter of the whole
population, and the European Anarch-
ists Socialists, Italians, Poles, Hum
garians and Russians, all the very low
est Of their race, will support the man
whose childish economics and wild the
ories are detested in every Capital in
Europe. These being the people who
sway public opinion, it is the hight OF
absurdity to rave about blood being
thicker than water.

ties. One strange thing about 1t was
that little real intelligent progress was
made by mothers as q class. The in
dividual mother here and there had
heard and profted, but they were like
the Chinese, because their ancestral
worship continued to follow the prece-
dent set centuries ago. She thought
that no study opened such a large field
for progress.
Miss e. Griffin. Of FaribauIt. gave a
paper on 1.-THE Conditions Of the Mind
Of the Uneducated Deaf" She thought
most of the ideas and lofty impress
sions came through the child's ear.
Miss Griffin then explained some incl
dents which had come under her notice
at Faribault. George A. Franklin
spoke on Parents and Teachers Meet
ings." He thought mothers clubs were
largely taking up child study, and were
doing much for the improvement OF
the educational system. Mr.. Franklin
gave history of the movement. and
movement He thought that, with
the cooperation of the teachers and
parents, much better results could be
attained. One of the good results of
the school union meetings was that
the eyes Of the people living In the
vicinity of the school were turned upon
it's working, and a better knowledge
of the instruction impaired was to be
had by the partisan. Mrs. E. G. Adams
told in her paper of Children and
Money" She advocated the instruc-
ton of children in the value Of money,
and thought, if children were taught
to save money when young, they would
make good business men.

popularity than any of the fareical comedy

The engagement of Lost, Strayed or

closes with two performances today-a pop
ular priced matinee this afternoon and the
farewell performance tonight.
The attraction booked for the Metropolitan
opera house Sunday and Monday evenings
and Tuesday matinee is the famous veri-
scope showing the Corbett- Fitzsimmons con-
test.
Never in the history of theatricals in this
city has there been such widespread interest
shown over the coming of any attraction as
the joint appearance OF Lillian Russell,
Della Fox and Jefferson D'Angelis, who for
four performances, beginning Thursday even
ing. at the Metropolitan, will present STANCE
& Edwards comic opera, THE Wedding
Day" This is the great event of the sea-
son. A more remarkable alliance than that
of Lillian Russell, Della Fox and Jefferson
De Angels in a comic opera project can
scarcely be imagined. The opera Is mounted
in the most magnificent manner and will be
presented here precisely as during its re-
markable run in New York, where it was
admitted by both the critics and public to
be the nest costly production ever seen Of
its ilk in this country.
