In brief. the support was completely
taken away from the market yesterday,
and there was beside considerable
amount of liquidation. At no time in the
day was there any disposition to rally.
Prices closed at or near the lowest fig

The disposition i'll the street yesterday
was naturally to believe the disaster 10
the Maine an accident. There has been
this tendency to minimize everything in
the Cuban-Spanish situation from the
first among the large operators. The
public has been powerful enough at times

feeling that the situation is very uncer-

the slump was not as bad as might have

An Englishman and an Irishman were
one day holding an argument respect
ing the nationality of various great
men who had lived and died. The
IrishElan had successfully claimed each
enc mentioned as a countryman of his

He was CHIEF OF the snobs.

Sir John Brown, the cutlery manu-
facturer of Sheffield, owed his title to
a visit to that city by the prince of
Wales while Sir John was mayor Of
Sheffield. That he is a snob of snobs
the following story proves: On the
occasion of his visit the prince leaned
his head against a wall in the
billiard-room in his hosts house, leav-
ing stain on the delicate paper. This
stain Sir John had covered with glass
and surrounded by gold frame, plac-
ing an inscription Lelow which related
that the stain was made by the head of
England's future king.-Boston Globe.

A.tl.eptlo qualities in Coins.

It is o well-known fact that paper
money is liable to transfer bacteria
from one person to another, and thus

" act as agents for spreading disease,
and Investigations in that direction
were made at the Vienna university
when Austria chalgcd It's cnrrcDey TO

servations was recently rrhhahed by
DIR. Vincent in the Vienna Medical Ca
zette, in which he states that metals
act, so TO speak, as antiseptics nrcgard
to bacteria, or microbes, he tact being

metals increase with their teIperatrre,
and also with the close touch of the
heterogeneous with the metal. At a
temperature of 95 to 100 degrees Fahren-
heit. which is common in the pockets
where money is carried, the destruction
of microbes occurs within three hours.
The various metals used for coins are
somewhat different in this respect, sill
yer being the most antiseptic and gold
the least. Copper and bronze hold
about the middle between the two more

CARE OF TAN SHOES.
How the Ingenious Bootblack still Earns

How the Ingenious Bootblack Still Earns
Ills Dime.
When tan shoes became fashionable
three or four years ago the bootblack
stood aghast. Some of them turned
pale, says the Washington Post, but
most of them did not because nature
debarred them from that manifesto
ton of apprehension. AS man after
man passed their stands with his feet
shod IN coverings that did not admit
of the old-time shine they believed
that their race was run.
The ragamuffin who makes his liv-
ing upon the corners is an individual
hard to down. When the second sea-
son of tan shoes came around n new
method of polishing had been devised.
1t has been amplified until it has be-
come a science.
AS at present practiced by the high
priests of the art it requires first
thorough rubbing with a damp rag;
then the application of q half lemon;
then some mysterious unguent that is
put on with the ball of the thumb, and
lastly brown polish invented espe-
cially for the occasion. This latter is
brushed with piece of canton fan
mel. No well-educated and self-respect.
ing bootblack would use any other
kind. The man who Is put through
this course of ornamental sprouts finds
himself wearing pair of new russets,
and he pays for il one dime. As this
is double the old price. the operator is
happy. He has not lost anything by
the shoes whose introduction promised
to prove his bane.
