All He Asked of Mr.. Cleveland

Here is a story which shows the value
of advertising and teaches also that per-
sonal fame is, after all, questionable and
comparative. Overlooking the Hudson,
the next house to ex-senator Hills
Wolfert's Roost is the summer resi-
dence of Mr. Cleveland whose fortune
is based upon the lucky combination of
certain chemicals which resulted in the
production of an article of great use in
the kitchen. BY much advertising the
Cleveland name became a household
word. Another New Yorker of the name
of Cleveland attained some celebrity by
becoming president a brace of times.
1t was between his two terms that he
took hunting and fishing trip into the
Adirondacks. Men in the woods become
fond of their guides, and the ex-presi-
dent, after two weeks of fine sport, had
special liking for his.
He took the tall woodsman warmly
by the hand when his vacation was over
and his outfit packed for the return.
BILL" he said, I've had the fun of my
life this trip, and I'm grateful to you
The money I've paid you don't settle the
obligation. If there's anything can do
for you, Bill, let me know it right now"
The ex-president meant what he said.
WELL" replied the mountaineer, I'D
never asst ye eff ye hadn't offered but
seen' as ye've offered, don't know why
I shd be backered. Ye see, I'm gittin'
mighty tired of these yeller seleratus
biscuit, Mr.. Cleveland, an eff ye would
sen me some of yer bakin' powder I'd
remember it to my dyin' day."-New

ON CHANGE
Conditions Shown by the Dealings or
Wall Street

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Today's stock
market was more active and broader than
at any time since the upward movement
began but 1t was exceedingly uneven and
some prominent stocks in the list showed
declines. The market ignored the heavi-
ness of some of the last weeks specula-
tive favorites, and other stocks were taken
up and pushed progressively. Northern
Pacific continued its remarkable advance
and touched 60 during the day. Confident
assertions that an additional dividend was
imminent accompanied the advance.
Louisville continued to enjoy the advan-
tage of the reports of funding plan near
sylvania was said to be due to the opera
tions of a pool, which are based on the as
sumption that the stock has not enjoyed a
rise commensurate with that of other
trunk lines, where no better situated.
There were several halts during the day.
due to a taking of profits, and the trading
closed with very general movement to
mend. which embraced all the strongest
and most active stocks, cutting down their
extreme gains in all cases. Sugar lost
nearly all of its early advantage. London
was both a buyer and seller in this mar
ket and Southern Pacific and st. Paul
felt the adverse effect of this selling.
Commission house business was on large
scale.
Business in the bond market was on a
large scale. Union Pacific and Atchisor

Dead Mems Heads at Auction

At Mr.. Stevens auction rooms, in
King street, Covent Garden, yesterday,
the collection of curiosities formed by
the late Mr.. Ashby of Egham was sold
in 455 lots. Among the items were hu-
man skulls from New Guinea, which
fetched from e2 Is to 96 IS, all very
black and horrid spectacles, some of
them carved and some with loosened
teeth. A tatooed Maori head, with a
curious smell, brought II guineas, the
same price being paid for chiefs head,
shrunk and mummified by the Napo-
Tivaros Indians by process unknown
to other races, which consisted in TAX
ing out the bones and COMPRISING the
mummified flesh in it's original shape To
about fourth of it's natural size. The
hair remained, and as many threads of
flax as the subject had slain opponents

have been a fair average warrior. His
fate was to be worn as an ornament by

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, jan 31.-In wheat conditions
were more favorable for q decline at the
opening than for two weeks, outside of
the depression caused by the unloading
of many heavy holders on last weeks
bulge, the influence of which was still ap-
parent, the news decidedly favoring the
decline, which took place. May opened at
95B to 96, recovered to 96H. then declined
slowly to 959s. There was not much selling
pressure, but on the other hand, there
was almost a total lack of demand, and
the market sank from it's own weight
Liverpool was very weak. and this had
more influence than anything else. The
1:30 p. m. quotations from Liverpool
showed a decline of I'D, and London was
reported equally weak. The visible supply
report. showing a decrease of but 551 900
bushels, was also disappointing. The mar
ket was steadied about noon by the liberal
clearances, 534 900 bushels. May advanced
to 95M, but after that the market ruled
heavy. Late in the session some selling
pressure was put on January, and the
price of that delivery, which had been
nominally 1.0S1, dropped very quickly to
1.03 on the selling of not more than 75, 900
bushels. May closed at 94N.
Corn was weak at@ lie opening and re-
mained so throughout. May closed sc

QUEER EVENTS
Court Advised Man to Go on Weeks
Drunk

James A. Hill, father of Philip Hill,
who was to have been hanged Wednes-

nard McKenna at central station today
on a charge of drunkenness. Policeman
James Lowrie found him lying on Chat
ham street about an hour after the exc
cution was appointed to have taken
place. He was paralyzed drunk.
"Hill, what have you to say for your
self?" asked Judge McKenna.
Il was glad that my son wasn't hung
yesterday" said the prisoner.
You had proper excuse for getting
drunk" remarked the judge, land /
would advise you to go on another toot
today again."
I'm not drinking man, but when
word arrived that my son was not to be
hung l just went and filled up
''If 1 were you l would go on drunk
for a whole week."
Thanks, your honor I WILL" and Hill

An Outside View

Los Angeles is in the midst of heated
discussion over the water supply sys-
tenn. The city owns the source of sup
ply, but leased it for term of thirty
years-which only lacks six months of
expiration-to private corporation, a
contract being made that the city must
buy and the company must sell at an
appraised valuation. Mayor Snyder
holds that under the terms of this agree
men the city is authorized to take pos
session OF the plant at the end Of the
time, and, if we may believe the Sar
Francisco Calls version, the mayor
holds also that the city will own the
plant without paying for it; but that
seems to be negatived by the terms OF
the contract. The three leading papers
of Los Angeles-the Times, Herald and
Express-are antagonizing the mayor in
this water affair, and the Record is sup
porting him.-Oakland Enquirer.

The Worlds Wheat

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The Mark Lane Ex-

grain market, says:
Although the French wheat fields prom
ise well, 1t is feared they are affected by
rankness and weeds. Austro-Hungary is
suffering from Il plague of field mice and
moies, which is spreading over the vast
plains of the Leytha and Danube. The
news from Russia is satisfactory so far
as the Azima wheat of 1898 is concerned.

OF Russian wheat point. therefore. to a
very bad agricultural situation, showing
that Russia, while not increasing her total
production, is becoming, through agricul-
tural poverty, prompt seller for cash
after the harvests. With America also a
weaker holder, we must be prepared for
increased fluctuations at lower prices from
October to February. and higher from
March to June. In ordinary years. from
July to September, harvests may be ex-
pected to control prices, in accordance
with actual reapings. The reduction of
the Italian duty on foreign wheat Is ex
pected to cause the bulk of Russian and
Roumanian wheat to be shipped to Genoa,
Naples and Venice in February and March.

FRESH WATER FOUND IN ROCKS
Fluid Fit to Drink Found at Depth
of 100 Feet

In the November number of the Geo.
graphical Journal we find communica-
/ ton from Sir Clements Markham, who
describes how Baron Nordenskiold rea-
soned out the possibility of finding fresh
water by boring strong crystalline rock.
Baron Nordenskiold's idea was that by
boring through the granite rocks he
would strike water bearing assures. He
therefore selected the rocky islets on the
Swedish coast which serve as pilot and
light stations, and, completing borings,
found sweeter water lying in the fis-
sures In the depth of 100 feet the text
ure of the surface rock prevents the salt
water from percolating through and
commingling with the sweeter water ly-
ing in the assures.
In the same number Of the Geographic
cal Journal there is an article by M. T.
A. Martel on British Caves and Spele-
ology." Mr.. Martel describes a descent
into caves near Enniskillen, as we'll as
other descents in Ireland, and also de-
scribes what he saw of underground riv-
ers and lakes in Derbyshire and in York
shire. In the case of the Irish caves he
says their flowing waters must have an
outlet under the sea, as there is no 9TH
er way to account for the phenomenon.
We refer to these matters, as they in
terest cable engineers and bear upon
paper read before the Institution of
Electrical Engineers during last session
by Mr.. Benest. In this paper it was
stated that it was believed by some en-
gineers that submarine telegraph cables
when laid on continental slope and in
Ia direction more or less parallel to the
coast line, were liable to interruption
from the effects of an outburst of sub
terranean water on these slopes, even in
deep water. Deductions from the evil
|dence furnished by Baron Nordenskiold
land Mr.. Martel seem to increase the be-
