The market opened very nrm, with "a de-
cidely upward tendency but on Thurs
day there was Il marked change. Prices
began to decline. and on yesterday closed

The present weather will doubtless cur
tail receipts and give the buyers an OPP
portunity Of working up some of the ac-
cumulated stock Of the last seven weeks
The quantity Of tobacco here AT present
in factories, warehouses and dcpOts Is the
largest ever recorded.

QUEEN vIcToRIA's DECLINE.

This year, June 20, it will be sixty
years since Queen Victoria assembled
the British throne, and it is proposed TO
celebrate the event with all the pomp
ard solemnity the occasion demands.
But this proposed celebration may be
marred because of the mental condi-
ton of her majesty. She has become
eccentric in the extreme, to use no
harsher term. Those who are her
guests at Windsor see very little of her,
states a reliable London correspondent.
Their interviews with her are formal
in the extreme and what converse
ton there is, is confined to q few
phrases on conventional subjects, and
on these they are coached beforehand,
Her eccentricity is said to be shown
nowhere so much as in her high regard
for the new Victorian order, which is
said to be new-fangled and a mere
fad. Members of it are given prece-
dence over those who hold the Order
of the Bath. of st. Michael and st.
George. And the worst of this is that
it is conferred upon her personal at
PENDANTS, railway managers and others.
This new Victorian order has, in court
circles, made the first last and the last
first. All this is giving rise to much
gossip.
1t means that the malady of her
grandfather is creeping over her
George III was demented monarch
for many years before his death, and
it begins TO look as though the sue
cessor of William " would be. 1t is
hardly probable that she will abdicate,
for her mental condition is apt to be
such that she will insist upon holding
on to the reins of power until the very
last. Her decline has been noted for
some time but now it seems as though
it would be rapid. She has been
great and good queen, and all the
world would prefer that she die be-
fore reaching the deplorable condition
her grandfather did, if such is to be
her fate.

Clerical Amenities.

Washington Star: Two of the most
noted expounders of the gospel in north
ern Virginia were the Revs. RosZell, OF
the Methodist church. and Gilmore, OF
the Baptist. On one occasion they Dotn
had appointments in LeesburS on Inc
same Sunday. Returning TO their nome
after church the two congregations met
on opposite sides of the same street
The Methodist divine. thinking 70 De
liver a Smarting thrust in the hearing OF
almost the whole of both focks, called
across the street to the shepherd OF the
Baptist fold:
How dye do. Brother Gilmore; one OF
your members Joined our church today.
''Ah, ha. that s all right replied the
placid immersionist. "backslidlng Bap-
lists make very good Methodists-"
One communion day in the Baptist
church the Rev. Roszell made 1t point
to be present, having no service at MS
own church on that day. Mr.: Gilmore
spread the communion table with great
care just in front of where the Methodlst
divine was sitting. and when all was
ready he, with great solemnity,. said In
his powerful and impressive voice;
Brother Roszeu, if this were my table
I should invite you to partake; but being
my Fathers, l dare not!
Instead of sinking through the floor,
Mr.. RosZelI calmly replied:
Brother Gilmore, if this were your
table / should await your invitation; but
being my Fathers 1 shall help myself.
and. suiting the action to the word,
reached over and with great seriousness
and solemnity. took the bread and wine
without molestation. to the intense
amusement of the congregation.

FROM SALT LAKE TO CUBA.

GO away from home for news" is
an old saying. By doing so the news
can generally be had, even if the truth
cannot. A very interesting bit of news
about this city comes from New York.
The Times of that city, in it's issue
Of the 29th ult., contained very in
teresting bit of information about a
Cuban expedition that left this city
some time ago. This expedition could
scarcely be termed a mundane affair,
as it went through the air.
The Times states the report comes
from Delaware that Saturday, Deem
Der %, 1896, a farmer who rises early
every morning to carry milk into Will
mington, says on that day, just as he
and his hired man were returning from
the barn TO the house, they heard the
strains of music, (probably the har-
mony of the spheres), in the air above
their heads, and a moment later q
glass bottle fell at their feet and broke
into small fragments. The men looked
up and declare that they saw, high up
in the air, huge machine, resembling
a fish in form, fully supplied with tail
and wings. It was an airship, from
which came the rays of a powerful
search light, and the faint, clear notes
of a cornet. When the ship of the air
disappeared, the farmer looked around
among the bits Of broken glass and
found scrap Of paper, on which was
written:
ION board the airship Icarus, Thurs
day afternoon, Dec. "a, 1896. The air.
ship Icarus, Captain James Dashiel,
with Thomas Murphy as companion ct
al. left Salt Lake City 10 p. m. Tues
dav, December s, bound for Cuba.
Wind due east. blowing at the rate of

mile we found a steady current Ma

Provisions sufficient for a week longer.

This is u good story, just as good as
though it were true.

The Greatest Monarch

Is fit subject for pity if he is
troubled with dyspepsia, while his
poorest subject who digests properly
may we'll be envied by a prince thus
afflicted The dyspeptic of every
cline and nation owe a debt of graft
tude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which rescues them from one Of the
most obstinate and troublesome com
plants against which medical skill is
directed. On this continent, in Europe
and the tropics, this sterling remedy
is prominently and justly popular,
not only as a stOmachic, but also as a
means of preventing and curing ma
larial, rheumatic, kidney, bilious and
nervous disorders. It improves appe-
tite and sleep, hastens conYalescence
and the acquisition of vigor after ex-
hausting nlaladies, and counteracts
the infirmities of age. A wineglassful
taken before retiring has a tendency
to promote tranquil, health yielding
sleep, a boon much coveted by nervous
iuYalidS.
