Sharood & Crooks have issued invitations
TO the citizens and ladies of ST. Paul to
inspect their new shoe manufactury just
equipped at Broadway and Fourth streets,
and a large number of people will undOubt-
eddy visit the establishment this morning
and afternoon. The large block formerly
occupied by Beaupre. Keogh & Davis has
been entirely remodelled, and presents a
lively appearance. Both interior and eX-
terror of the five-story structure have been
thoroughly renovated. The public will get
an idea on their visit to the establishment
of SharOOd & Crooks this afternoon of the
rapid advancement that has been made in
the business Of manufacturing shoes.
Machines employed where a few
short years ago a large portion of the work
had to be done by hand labor, and in con-
sequence of the invention and manipulation
of these machines, the cost of shoes has
been reduced nearly fifty per cent. Citizens
who take advantage of the invitation of
Sharood q Crooks will see these machines in
operation, and a number of miracles have
been arranged for the public today.

At the same time he thought of the
store beneath and the amount of dam
age the water would do as it ran down
through the ceiling. He is a man of
quick thought, and in a moment he did
the only thing possible, threw himself
down beside the tub and, claSping his
arms around it, held the already fast
swelling slaves together. He was sue
cessful in keeping the water in, but
what q situation! He dared not yell,
for he was hardly in a condition to re-
ceive callers, especially as he knew that
ALL in the block at the time were of
the gentler sex, and he realized at once
that the only thing left for him was to
stay in that position until the return OF
his wife, who was out on a shopping
expedition.
Like the boy who saved Holland, he
manfully remained in his most uncom-
Portable position until relief in the
shape of his wife appeared. Then to
cap the climax when he asked her to
get rope OR any old thing to tie about
the tub, she, after a long fit of uncon-
trollable laughter, asked him why ne
didn't carry the tub and its contents
out to the sinkroom and pour out the
water. With look that froze the
smile on her face, he did as she said,
and without word donned his clothing
and wandered out into the cold, un-
feeling world, a crushed and Inundated
man.-AnSonia, Con-, Sentinel.

A Curious Superstition.

board, of the steamer City of Philadel-

generally as hoodoo. The most Sc

One day the telegraph announced that

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Bradstreet's
review of the stock market will say to-
morrow: After a little hesitation at the
beginning of the week, the market had
broadened and advanced on an enor-
nous volume of transactions. Public
buying of an aggressive kind has alb
sorbed all offerings, and the leading
financial and speculative interests have
evidently lent their aid to the move
ment. A feature has been the atten-
ton paid to low-priced and neglected
securities, many stocks of this class ad-
vancing merely in sympathy with the
general movement of prices. The ad-
vance in grain and confirmation of pre-
vious estimates of European require
ments, together with the drop in ex-
change, and expectations of large gold
imports, are among the leading factors
in sustaining the decided bullish senti-
ments. The street was also Influenced
by the increasing turns of railroad earn
ings all over the country, as well as by
the accounts of the volume of their
earnings assuming. The movement has
not been without dangers of over-pur-
chasing, and the creation of weak ac-
counts. A moderate selling movement
ON Friday, which was, however, steadied
by the leading bull interests before it
had gone very far, was therefore looked
on with some satisfaction.

A Pointing Horse.

Senator George Chahoon. member OF
the State Senate Committee on Forest,
Fish and Game Laws, told me that he
had pointing horse that was as relia-
BILE as a pointing dog, although the
horse pointed by sight instead Of by
scent. 1t seems that in the fall. in
driving about the woods, he carries a
gun in his buggy to shoot such part
ridges as he may come across The
first time he shot over this horse the an
imal was badly frightened, and instead
OF running simply sat back in the
breeching, crouching near the ground
on his hind quarters, and trembled at
the noise of the explosion. This be-
came hibit, until now, no longer
frightened at the sound of the gun, he
appears to be on the watch for birds
and often discovers one before his mas
ter sees it, and at once sits back in the
breeching and comes to a dead stand
until Senator ChahOon shoots, when the
horse resumes his normal upright posi-
ton and goes on till he sees another
bird. I told the Senator he should call
his horse a setter instead of a pointer
and perhaps he will accept the amend
ment.- Correspondence Forest and

PHILADELPHIA REGATTA.
Winners of the Events Which
Were Rowed Yesterday.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-The first
days races in the silver jubilee regatta
of the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen was rowed to-day over the
national course on the Schuykill River
in Fairmount Park.
To-day's events consisted of trials in
intermediate singles. senior four cared
shells, intermediate singles, senior sim
giles, international fOur-Oared shells
and the final and only heat in the in
termediate eights. OF these the fea-
ture events were the two senior four
heats and the final intermediate eight.
The Ariel Club of Baltimore won the
first of the former by half a length,
and the Institute Club of New York
the second senior four heat in a mag
nificent dash. In the eights the Wor-
cesIer High School Athletic Associa-
ton took the lead at the crack of the
pistol. maintaing it throughout with
the Mentrose and Fairmount clubs,
both of Philadelphia, following closely
in the order named.
In the remaining events the Wachus-
EFT Club and the Columbia Rowing AS
sociation, both of Massachusetts, won
the first two heats in the intermediate
schools and the Narragansett Club of
Providence the third heat
The Pennsylvania BargeNClub. West
End Boat Club of Boston and Bedford
Club of Cambridge, Mass, won respect
lively the three heats in the singles,
while in the international fours the IN
stitute Club of Newark and the Argo-
naut Of Toronto each won a heat.
All the events. with the exception of
the international fours and the inter-
mediates, were three-quarters of a
mile and return. The exceptions were
one and a half miles straight away.
Every precaution was taken to po-
lice the course and keep it clear of
river craft. and in only one instance
was there any interference with the
racing. This was during the inter-
mediate eight. The New York Athletic
Club had the outside water, and had
passed the three-quarter flag in a close
race for third place, when a yawl boat
shot across its bow and struck it hard,
slightly bruising Bogert's arm The
crew stopped rowing. and claimed that
the action was deliberate on the part
of the man in the yawl. The police
placed him under arrest. The Judges

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
ARE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
TO THE UNITED STATES.
Director Smith Says They Are the
Great Strategic Point of
the Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-"From
military as we'll as a commercial point
of view,'' said Director Smith of the
Bureau of American Republics, "the
Hawaiian Islands, owing to their loca-
ton, are of great Importance. Hawaii
may be said to lie about one-third the
distance of the accustomed route from
San Francisco to Japan and Chinese
ports, from San Francisco to Australia,
from the ports of British Columbia to
Australia and British India, and about
half way from the Isthmus of Panama
to Yokohama and Hongkong. The con-
struction of a ship canal across the
itshmus would extend this geographic
cal relation to the ports of the Gulf OF
Mexico and of the Atlantic seaboard
of North and South America A glance
at the map will at once make clear the
fact that no other point in the North
Pacific has such a dominating relation
to the trade between America and Asia
as place for coaling and a depot of
supplies for vessels.
From a naval standpoint Hawaii is
the great strategic base of the Pacific.
Under the present conditions Of naval
warfare created by the use of steam as
a motive power, Hawaii would secure
to the maritime nation possessing it an
advantage as a depot for the supply of
coal. Modern battleships, depending
absolutely on coal, would be enabled
to avail themselves of their full capac-
ity of speed and energy only by hav-
ing some halfway station in the Pa
cific where they could replenish their
stores of fuel and refit. A battleship
or cruiser starting from an Asiatic or
Australian port, with the view of oper-
ating along the coast of either North
America or South America, would be
unable to act effectively for any length
of time at the end of so long voyage,
unless she were able to refill her bunk
ers at some point on the way.
"On the other hand, if the United
States possessed Hawaii, she would be
able to advance her line of defense
1000 miles from the Pacific coast, and
with fortified harbor and a strong
fleet at Honolulu, would be in a posi-
ton to conduct either defensive or Of
fensive operations in the North Pa
cific to greater advantage than any
other power.

Luther's Bones.

1t is generally supposed that the bones
of the great reformer were torn from
their last resting place in the church
of the Castle of Wittenberg during the
thirty years war, and scattered to the
winds, like those of Wycliffe. At all
events, not race of Luther's tomb has
hitherto been discovered. One of the
biographers of Luther, Herr Koestlin
of Halle, has, however, raised no little
sensation in religious circles in Ger
many by recent article in a theologi-
cal magazine, which throws over the
accepted explanation of the disappear
ance of the reformer's tomb as mere
fiction. He declares that two workmen
engaged on the restoration of the
church in Wittenberg Castle came
across the coffin and body of Luther,
without letting any of their comrades
know of their find. It is alleged that
they entered the chapel by night and
dug out the remains, secretly renter
ring them, in fear Of arrest. There
ought to be no difficulty in discovering
whether there is any truth in Herr
Koestlinis statement.-Westm Ga

WHEAT MARKET.
Prices Which Cereals Sold at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Wheat opened
not far from prices current at the end
OF the previous session, and for an
hour the range of fluctuations in the
leading futures was confined to 1 cent
per bushel. a different state of affairs
from the first hours violent eccentrici-
ties on the day before. The foreign
markets were less excited than they
were yesterday, with some disposition
TO weakness. At the opening Liverpool
quoted a rise of Id, but while the dis
patch from there showed a further
slight gain, the latest prices were a
slight reduction from the first. Paris
was 30 centimes lower at the opening
and Berlin an equivalent of cents
lower.
Cash wheat was offered here at less
premium than was offered for it during
the previous two days. September rail-
lied to S31a, declined to SO, rallied to
S31a, and then turned very weak, stop
ping only at S11a, a 3-cent decline from
the highest price of yesterday. 1t re-
covered again by u o'clock to around
S24, where it hung istlessly and with
out much business passing, for half an
hour.
The lower quotations from Paris were
made by the bears. Antwerp was un-
changed, and Liverpool closed from to
I'd higher for cash wheat than it did
yesterday, and Ad higher for septem-
Der. The decline, which took September
to S112, was helped along by a break
in prices at st. Louis during its pro-
gress.
Minneapolis and Duluth stocks of
wheat were reported to indicate a re-
ductiOn for the week of one million
bushels, and as Chicago stocks should
show about 1,000,O00 decrease, the Wis
ible supply ought to show something
like one million decrease, allowing for
some increase at the seaboard. The
seabOard clearances of wheat and flour
from Atlantic ports were equal to 645,-
600 bushels, 200, 900 bushels of it be-
ing in the shape of wheat from New
port News.
The market weakened on renewed liq-
uidatiOn, and sold off rapidly to S0b,
recovering to S13s on shorts covering.
September opened Nos lower, S234@
S27s, sold between S3115 and sos, closing
at S13sQS112, a net loss of rs.

THE MAN AND THE TUB.
Thought He Was a Hero Until His |
Wife Proved Him a Simpleton.

One Of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coolest
sweat out on a mans brow, and ever
after remain with him as a constant
source of mirth, occurred to a Shelton
merchant a few days ago. He thought
he would take a bath, and as his fiat is
minus one of the chief requisites for
the job-a bathtub-he extemporized
one out of a small washtub and enjoyed
a cooling ablution.
He had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for a towel when sud
denly the top hoop of the tub burst
with a sharp report, and the man saw
TO his horror that the whole contents Of
the tub would soon be flooding the floor.
