at the opening. During the first fifteen

The bears who had been alternating for

Sales of September wheat were made
on the curb this morning at the highest
figure yet reached, $LO212 The regular
session opened with a wild rush to sell,
with trades made on a range of 3 cents,
September going at from 81 cents to ST.
Every one in the pit seemed to have but
one idea, and that was to let go Sep

they could do the most good and what
looked for a moment like a panic was
turned into rush for cover, sold up
without reaction of more than half a cent

Another drop took place. but In a slow,
deliberate way. The visible supply was
very much of a disappointment to bulls,
showing less than half of the decrease they
had confidently figured upon. Short sales
were thought to be a good speculation

cents of a dollar and the bears opened
their spouts with a will, only ceasing

The routine news of the day was practi-

news and sensational advances in English

dency TO invigorate traders with bearish

IN NEED OF \ SHEPHERD.
A Chaplain Assigned to Fort Me-
PherSon-A Distinguished Minister

Washington, Aug. 23-For the first
time in a number of years post
chaplain has been assigned to duty at Fort
Mcpherson, Atlanta. Ga. by the COM
manding general of the army
In view of the fact that Fort McPher-
son has been without the spiritual guild
ance of a Christian shepherd for long
period, taken together with the crcum-
stances attending the recent military
scandal in that post involving the fami-
lies of several of the officers stationed
there directs more than ordinary atten-
ton to the order directing Post Chaplain
OrveHe J. Nave to proceed to Fort Nc
PhersOn at the expiration of his present
leave of absence. 1t may be merely a CO.
incident, but some of the army gossips
declare that the real object of the war
department is to inaugurate certain moral
reforms among the officers and men sta
toned at Fort Mcpherson. Some of them
go so far as to say that the presence of
an army chaplain at that post might have
prevented the now famous Roman scan
DIAL
The chaplain selected for this important
missionary work in Atlanta is one of the
most distinguished officers in the religious
. branch of the military service. Chaplain
Nave is a member of the Methodist church
and for the past seven years he has been
on duty at Fort Niebrara Neb. He serV-
ed through the late war as a private in an
Illinois regiment and at the close of hos
tiities he entered the ministry. He is
about 55 years old, married, and has an in
teresting family. At present he is in New
York on leave of absence, looking after
the publication of a valuable religious
work upon which he has been engaged for
several years. 1t is a Typical Index of
the Bible" Those who are familiar with
the subject predict that his work will be
readily accepted in all of the leading uni
Versities, colleges, religious institutions
and libraries. and he will probably realize
a handsome fortune from it. The work is
complete and is said to have been treated
in a mastery manner.
Chaplain Nave has written number of
able and entertaining works on religious
subjects and he is regarded as one of the
brightest literary men in the corps of
chaplains. He is a native Of Ohio, and his
friends say that he desired to come east
for duty during the present administration
and Fort Mcpherson was the only desira-
be point open to him.

AT THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
The Champion Larned Defeated b>
the EnSIishman Nisbitt.


Newport. r. l., Aug. 2S.-The biggest
surprise of the tennis tournament, and, in
fact, of the whole tennis season, was the
defeat to-day of William A. Larned, the
acknowledged leader of the game in this
country, by Hugh a Nisbett of England
in the semi-fnal round of the all-comers'
tournament for the national championship.
With the match well in hand by two sets
to Love, with the score five games to four
in his favor, in the third set Larned was
twice within one points necessary for the
match. In both cases he drove into the net
and at last Nsbett took the necessary
game to make it five all Again in this
set Larned was within two points of win
ming the match, but could not quite reach
it. Such eXasperating playing was only a
repetition of the exhibition which he gave
last year in his match with Bob Wrenn,
and it is this very uncertainty that makes
his game an agonizing one to witness.
The weather conditions to-day were dis
tinctly English, for a misty northeaster
blew over the courts previous to the match
and made the turf slippery and uncer-
tain. Both players fell and Larned lost
the deciding point in the fourth set by
sliding on the grade. The sky was duh
and gray throughout
Before the two sets had been played
DR.. Eaves had on another court defeated
Leo Ware of Boston, thereby slipping into
the final round of the tournament.

New York, Aug. 23-There was a lively

Transactions in the aggregate ranNup to

was dun to the point of stagnation. The

In Africa alone Germany has nearly a

1t may be doubted whether any Of the
gold seekers who have entered Alaska by
way of Juneau, which lies near the scene
of the military and naval operations here
desc ribed, ever heard of the old-tlme bat
tie between the Tllnkits ana the Aleuts, or
ever heard of the yankee skipper from
Boston. or of the naval brig Neva or OF
the Russian Baranoff from Siberia, who
piled TIP the rubes which came to him by
the sale of otter skins a hundred years
ago.
Now that the early history of Alaska
has acquired a fresh interest for Ameri-
cans IL Is possible that more complete
account of the Tlinkit campaign will yet
be procured from original sources. There
are opportunities for research between So
degrees north latitude and the Arctic
ocean between the Rocky mountains and
BehrlnR strait. Lots of sanguinary bat
ties may have been fought up there.

the West Jersey and Seasnore railroad.
J. Il. Nichols, assistant engineer, says
this plan has passed the experimental
stage and that they are only awaiting the
completion of a car for distributing the
oil mechanically TO cover all dusty places
ON the road. AT The present time there
are about tour miles of track so treated.
The rails are kept clean by means of "a
shield The result obtained is a complete
freedom from dust AT points which We're
formerly the most dusty ON The division.
The spraying viii be required but once
a season after the renewal of ties.
When it becomes necessary to disturb
the track for repairs 1t Will probably he
necessary 10 spray again, but il is thought
that after not more than three applica-
tons the ballast will be mpregnated with
oil to a sufficient depth to render subse-
quent treatment unnecessary. The oil Is
of a special kind, having two properties
fitting 1t for this use. First, IT is pene-
trating and tenacious. and, second, Il Is
not combustibie as used, but can only be
burned by converting il into "a spray al
most resembling gas in hneness. 1t is al
most without volatile ingredients and has
therefore but little odor, and that not OF
an unpleasant character even when first
applied and this Odor decreases on eX-
posure The oil can be distributed IN place
AT a total cost of less than $50 per mile
Of single track.
