CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO. May 22-What opened firm
due Principally to a small advance at Liv-
erpool in the face of a sc decline here
yesterday. The Withdrawals from stors
here amounted to 2S54.OO0 bushels, which
was assumed to be a proof of a good deal
more wheat having been sold for shipment
than had been revealed during the week.
OF news of another kind. were the heavy
northwestern receipts - Minneapolis and
Duluth reporting 654 carloads. against SS5
a year ago and the favorable weather for
the growing crop. New York, also, in the
early dispatches, said business was dull
and nothing doing on foreign account. An
official estimate from Liverpool of what
the total worlds shipments to European
countries for the week were likely to
amount to. put it at 6.000,000 bushels. Some
weakness followed this. July, which OPEN
ed at 1@11ac against yesterdays closing
price of 107sc. declined to 70si M103sc. New
York wired that the French crop was likely
to show 10 per cent less in area, compared
with last years acreage, and 20 per cent
poorer condition. 1t was soon apparent
that the buying of May wheat meant more
cash wheat business for shipment, and
s.. 900 bushels were reported sold soon after
the opening. The making known of the
latter, and the repetition of the French
crop deficiencies. helped to aid the buying
enthusiasm with which the market opened
and at IL o'clock July had advanced to
71AG717sc. although Berlin and Paris wheat
markets sent slightly lower quotations. 1t
was reported from st. Louis that $4,000
bushels of hard winter wheat and 60.00J
bushels of rye were sold there for shipment
to France, and that more wheat could have
been disposed of had the wheat been pro-
durable. Coming upon the top of the Liv
erpool cablegrams repeating the shortage
and poor condition of the French crop, the
report of the actual buying of wheat for
shipment to that country gave the bears
who were short in wheat fresh spasm of
repentance. and they rushed July wheat
up to 72a721sc in the struggle. The clos
ing for July was 72c.
Corn opened easy, on fine weather, large
receipts and rather free western selling.
Local receipts caused weak opening for
oats and that condition prevailed for some
time, but rallied later with wheat.
Provisions were without support, and
consequently heavy without much selling.
The large hog receipts present and pros
pective. were the factors. The market
opened weak and declined steadily from the
start, winding up the session at substan-
TALLY the lowest points of the day.

Tobacco Is an Indian weed, and from
the devil came the seed" The truth
that there is in this poetry has been
testified to by long line Of earnest
and honest men and women. The "to-
bacco heart" tells the same story. And
the record Of achievement by those who
do not use the vile weed is full Of re-
buke and instruction to those who do,
or those who are waverlng between love
lustratlon of the benefit of abstentlon
from the use of tobacco happened at
Chicago, where there has just been a
number Of big bicycle races, The Cook
County cyclists road race was won by
John W. Hudson, boy. One explana-
ton of his remarkable victory is that
he rode faster than the others In the
race, but how he came to ride faster is
told by his devoted and adoring moth
er, who says ''he never tasted tobacco"
and adds: 1--WE always knew he would
win the race because he never chews
| tobacco or smokes"
Thus does an old and useful lesson
| receive new meaning and force. But
Ali UNI What's this? Do our eyes
| deceive us? Must we tell it? Before
| Johnnie Hudson's mother had got
| through telling how sure she was that
her boy would win because he didn't
chaw or puff, man fifty-one years old,
| called Papa Smedley, came in first in
the Associated Cycling Clubs race.
And it is recorded of him that "he eats
big plug Of tobacco a day" 1t was
| observed that papa had to remove a
| large object from his mouth before he
| could ask that somebody tell his wife
that he had won the race. 1t is be-
| lieved that the large object was a hunk
| of tobacco.
This seems to be a good place to stop,

4NOTH Err FORGOTTEN LAW.

1t is surprising how many laws there
are in the books that seem to have been
forgotten. One or two of them acct
dentally came to light during the re-
cent investigation of the New Haven
newspapers that didn't get the fat
street-sprinkling advertisement. The
Waterbury Republican calls attention
to another law that has gone into nox-
ious desuetude 1t reads: The select
men of every town shall erect and
maintain a guide post, at every neces-
sary and convenient place, for the d.
rection of travellers, which shall be a
substantial post not less than eight
feet high, near the upper end of which
shall be placed a board or boards, up
on which shall be plainly marked the
name Of the next town or place, and
such other town or place of note as the
selectmen think proper, to which each
road leads, the number of miles to the
same, and the figure of a hand, with
the forefinger thereof pointing towards
such towns or places.
Those who travel ON bicycles or in
carriages in the rural districts of this
State know that guide-posts are not
erected and maintained at every neces-
sary place, and If the convenient" in
the law has anything to do with the
convenience of travellers they know that
there are many places where 1t would
be very convenient to see guide posts
where they are not to be seen. The
lack of necessary and convenient guide
posts causes much loss of time, much
exasperating uncertainty and much
wicked and picturesque profanity. Now
that the country roads of the State are
so much better than they used to be
and so much more used the way over
them ought to be made plain to every
body. And If the selectmen don't do
their duty in this important matter
they should be more or less gently re-
minded of it. The Republican remem-
bers that some years ago Attorney
Bronson of Waterbury instituted suit
against the town of Washington, over
| in Litchfield county, for failure to erect
| the necessary number of guide-posts.
The suit was success, and thereupon
information for travellers was posted
at every highway corner in that section
of Litchfied county. VIII not some
public spirited men in all parts of the
State do likewise?

AN AFRICAN DELIcAcY

The flesh of the elephant is eaten in
its entirety by several of the African
tribes. A detail of the process of butch
ering the animals is not pleasant read
ing. The tools used are the assegai
and hatchets. The rough outer skin is
first removed to large sheets. Beneath
this is subchtiele, pliable mem
brane, from which the natives make
water skins. The elephant yields large
quantities of fat, used in cooking their
sundried bitong, or dried strips of ele-
plants flesh, and also in the prepara-
ton Of vegetables. African explorers
of the Caucasian race agree, that one
part of the elephants carcase, when
properly cooked, Is a succuent dish
that will regale the most delicate taste.
This part very strangely, is the first
Joint of the leg below the knee, which
one would suppose be the toughest
portion of the animal. To prepare the
joint, hole three feet deep is dug in
the earth, and the sides of 1t are baked
| hard by means of large live Goals.
Most of the Goals are then taken out,
and the elephants foot 5 placed in the
rude oven. The hole is then filled with
| dirt, tightly packed, and a blazing fire
| is built on top, which is kept replenish-
ed for three hours. The foot is thus
evenly baked, and when done, instead
| of strong, tough meat fibre, it is a
| gelatinous consistency that may be
eaten with a spoon.-Public Opinion.

THE END IN SIGHT.

At last! George Aldridge, superin-
tendent of public works, says that the
capitol at Albany will be finished, save
in some unimportant particulars, by
March /, 1898. He has just let a granite
contract for $259000, which is intended
to complete everything except the
tower. In spite of what has happened
there seems to be belief among those
who know Mr.. Aldridge that he is not
new capitol which has become old in
building will actually be built in year
or so more.
The story of the work is long and
sickening one. The first appropriation
was made in 1863 thirty-four years
ago, and the total cost, including this
contract, will be s23, $50, 600 Work was
begun in 1867, and the legislature occu-
pied the new building in 1879. The old
capitol, built in 1906, cost but $4,000,
and the national capitol at Washington,
which covers nearly twice the area,
cost less than $4,000, 600. The corner
stone of the new capitol was laid June
81, 1871, and its opening was celebrated
by the people of Albany with recep-
ton and dinner on January Z, 1879.
More formal exercises were held by the
legislature on February L, 1879. Per-

FASHION NOTES.
A Stylish Skirt in Stripes.

She who is ambitious to have bright
hued lining peep through her skirt will
find an attractive model in this pic
ture. for no less than seven strips of
black lace insertion trimmed this skirt,
the remainder being black etamine, rose
pink taffeta coming beneath all. The
jacket bodice was shot silk in pink
shades and was enorusted with APP
plqued black lace. but revers and
sleeves were of the plain silk The vest
was etamine striped with lace insertion
and had black satin stock collar
edged with lace frill Plain taffeta,
furnished the jaunty basque, but the
belt, like the collar, was from black
satin.

A dressy pattern for coat Or Jacket
is still the fitted front, finished at the
waist line, the back slightly loose and
drawn into a belt below which frilly
little skirts show. The belt makes a
finish for the edge of the front of the
| coat. This style of garment Is suit
able as dress bodice but it is often
seen in cloth, satin or velvet for outer
wear. For dress nothing is prettier
than the baggy coat that hangs sacque
fashion nearly to the hips, double
breasted In front, the whole confined
by a handsome belt that droops In
front under a heavy buckle. Such a
garment must be perfectly cut or II
will be merely a shapeless bag, but
when it is correctly made all its loose
ness only emphasizes the good lines of
the figure, and the easy look of it is
proof of the most careful wear and
planning. Made In black, white or
sapphire blue or rich green satin, with
the belt planned to harmonic, and the
lining also carefully considered, moth
ing could be better taste or more suit
able for any dressy occasion. The col
lar should be well built up and hand
some lace can be put in the neck to
the greatest advantage. A strip of fur
at the edge of the double breasted side
was a handsome finish on this style of
garment in the early spring and now
lace may be added here also.
