STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
Bears Use News Reports to Depress
tho stock Market.

New York May 14.-The stock market
was under steady, unremitting pressure
today from one source or another. and
the result is a wide gap in the total val
uation of securities compared with the
close yesterday, which it would require
many millions of dollars to bridge. The
only cheerful factor in the market was
some small early buying for foreign ac-
count, which, however, failed to sustain
values and the exceptional strength of
the Gould shares. During the earlier
hours of trading the bears harped In
dustriously on the developments in tho
Cuban question and the governments
proposed attitude towards 1t. When later
advices from the capital indicated the
milder character of the measures con-
templated, and that they would prob
ably be confined to the dispatch of relief
to the distressed American citizens in
the island. the bears turned to the an
nouncenent of an additional shipment Of

Sin to Play Cards,

The Republicans are making still
hunt after their candidate for the different
city offices, and numerous meetings have
been held every night during this week
The pow-wow's have been the means of
bringing some kind of order out OF chaos
and some men are beginning to find out
that half loaf is better than nothing at
all. If the same change Of sentiment had
taken place before the last election was
held Delaware to-day would not have been
disgraced by the present Legislature.
Every office from the Governor down
would have been represented by a Repub.
lican and the politics Of the State 50
changed around that Delaware could
have been counted as one of the Republi-
can States for years to come. But foolish
men wanted it otherwise and are now be.

1t is needless to say that we have
been having some hot weather. Oh.

For further evidence of the heat. .
just ask our base ball boys, who
played st. George on the Fourth.
(PIease remem Der that the 4th came
on the 3rd.) Fully two score of
the st. George people, including a
number of young ladies, came to
Aurora, and we were very "glad to
see them up" Our boys were in
excellent spirits and did Tucker M
badly, they having "tuckered" out
at the end of the fifth inning, the
score standing % to 5 in favor of
Aurora. (Rowlesburg, they will get
you, If you don't watch out.) Our
CLUB played well, but we are very
sorry to say that its captain Tanned
out" but he is the only one in the
club who has that shame resting
upon his name. Although 81.
George can't play ball, they were
as nice and well behaved crowd as
ever came TO our town. One re-
markable thing about the crowd is,
that they brought but two score
with them, yet left Aurora twenty
eight score, aud took five back
with them. T.. /.

Fairmont School, against whom a
vigorous fight was waged, because
he is an active Democrat, and it
was thought some good Republican

Prof. Thes. @. Miller, of the Uni
yerslty, but he declined it.

After the adjournment Of Con-
2ress the President contemplates
the reorganization Of the Civil Ser
vice Commission. 1t is also assert
ed that he intends to revoke all the
orders issued by President Cleye-
land during his last term extending
the Civil Service law To certain
parts of the classified service for
partisan purposes. 1t will be re-
membered that Cleveland issued
orders placing $4,000 position un-
der the law.
President McKinley's idea is 10
return the classified service to the
status it occupied at the end OF the
Harrison administration. This
means that the Presidents new
order will take the following pinces
outside the Civil Service: The
government printing office. the bu-
reau OF engraving aud printing.
private secretaries and confidential
clerks and deputies in revenue ser

Indian Relies Found In New York.

No systematic researches had been
undertaken by any explorer within New
York city prior to the spring Of 1890,
when the accidental finding Of the frag-
ments Of beautiful jar at Inwood sug-
gested the possibility Of other specimens
Of aboriginal handiwo-k In that yicin-
ity. The vessel was found In an excaya-
ton made near the present Dyckman
street, at its junction with the proposed
Sherman avenue. Quantities Of decay
ing oyster shells on and near the sur
face Of the ground indicated an Indian
feasting place, and an examination OF
the deposit revealed split bones, bits OF
rude pottery and q number Of arrow
points Of quartz The character Of the
place being apparent. an archaeological
enthusiast made extensive excavations
and recovered q number of human skel-
etons which his fancy connected with
the objects found upon the surface, but
which are without doubt the bones Of
early settlers Of the valley. the graves
being marked with headstones ard re-
membered BY old residents as paSt Of
q colonial cemetery
Shortly after the discoveries at Dyck-
man street an extensive deposit Of oys-
ter shells was examined near the ex-
treme northern end Of Manhattan Island,
at place commonly known as Cold
Spring, q little nook ON the southerly
side Of Spuyten Duyvil creek where
the creek curves to the south before IL
empties into the Hudson river The
suspicion that the shells marked the
site Of an Indian village was verified
BY the finding Of many objects Of abo-
riginal art associated with the debris
from ancient feasts Doubtless IL was
from this village that came. on Oct 0.

The warlike Spirit.

Civilization, like morality, has the
defects Of its own excellences. It's dis.
eases are peculiarly noxious and loath-
some The rapacity Of greed goes hand
in hand with an unwholesome pharisa-
ism. Peace is tco noble a goddess to re-
ceive the sacrifice Of our virtues, and
degraded thus she will become a Meme
sis to her votarics.
There has never been a time when
the nations Of the world have presented
so formidable an array Of armies and
navies. This, so far from indicating
any warlike disposition on their part,
is really the result Of costly and siren
nous efforts to maintain peace. The
forced armistice is easily broken. 1t is
not necessary TO even the most destruc-
tive wars that there should be the old
passion Of fanatic heroism or any sub
lime purpose making the sacrifice
worthy. 1t is far more likely that Ger
many may be embroiled in war with
England for some petty cause than that
both will unite TO throttle the monster
whose very existence is at once a men
ace and disgrace to Christian Europe.
While we Americans are congratulating
ourselves upon situation Of isolation
and immunity as compared with that
of any European power, and, though a
really warlike spirit appears to be for
US almost impossible, whatever efforts
we make to arouse it, yet any day some
reckless congressional manifesto or
some foolish traditional prejudice may
precipitate war between us and Spain
or Japan or England, and our made
quate preparedness for war is IA constant
temptation to such provocation on the
part Of these powers as may seem TO JUS
tify the manifesto or to re-enforce the
prejudice.
Our assurance Of peace must lie, first
of all, indeed. in our desire for peace;
but, next to this, in our adequate ar.
mament and our resolve TO maintain a
wise but firm and courageous national
policy in our external relations, remem-
boring always what is due from us to a
militant Q hristendom. Harper Week

Then we pursued the rest of the party

fee, something like the tomb of Theod-
orio at Ravenna. 1t was erected by the
last duke for himself, his son, grand
son and his nine predecessors. "What a
grand sight it will be-" he said, when
IL dukes Of Hamilton rise together

made Of Egyptian syenite. the hardest
of all stones, and could not be altered,

the idea that his body might be too

BARNEY BARNATO.
An Interesting Reminiscence OF the III
Fated South African Millionaire.

In all Barnato's mining and industri-
al operations there was not single Tea
ture Of the working, a single apparatus
or process used, with which he was not
perfectly familiar. In all his company
undertakings such a thing as a speech
prepared by others for him to read was
absolutely unknown, and no man ever
labored more patiently or with more
uniform success to convert the refrac-
tory when it was advisable. Both at
johannesburg and in London, the latter
especially on an occasion fresh in all
memories, he has had TO confront angry
critics who, smarting under apparent
loss, were not careful either as to the
terms in which they denounced him or
the epithets they employed. But the re-
suits were invariably the same, with
drawal of all charges and renewed votes
Of confidence passed by reclamation
without a dissentient.
While, however, no one could be more
conciliatory, more pleasingly explana-
tory than he, when it was advisable,
he could take it fighting, too, when his
judgment approved, and then his attack
was irresistible. "If you are going to
fight" he said, always get in the first
blow. If man is going to hit you, hit
him first and say, If you try that, I'll
hit you again. 1t is Of no use your
standing off and saying, If you hit me,
I'll hit you back. Dye understand"
"Yes, l understand" answered, but
you are quoting Kingsley in Westward
Hop " WHO was Kingsley and West
ward HOP he sharply queried. After
! had explained and quoted the passage
from brakes letter to Amyas Leigh he
said
"Ah!I did not know anything Of
Kingsley, but when he wrote that he
knew what life was, and he was right,
and am right, though it is queer for
me to get supporter in one Of your
parsons. If he was true man, he
would also have &c agree with our law
Of AN eye for an eye aud a tooth for
TOOTH but, being Christian, Of course
he couldn't do that PAIL Never let
man wrong you without getting square,
no matter how long you wait, and never
wrong a man if you can help it, because
he will wait his time to get back on
you and at the worst possible moment

tile; it is all the same.
This conversation occurred during an
early morning drive about two years
ago, when he had just arranged his
scheme for the flotation Of the Barnato

laying off the lines on which the Bar
nato banks were to be constructed and
fioated. contemporary Review.
