MAY WHEAT ADVANCES,

Chicago, Feb. 16-May wheat sold up
few minutes before the closing to-
day to 103h and closed excited at
1.03A, an advance of 3% over yesterday.
July, which has been almost stagnant,
for time was heavily traded in espec-
tally during the last hour of business,
and was sent UP to S95s, the advance
in that delivery being equal to the gain
in May. On the curb a few minutes
after closing, LOSS was being bid for
May, while call prices were at 1101a.
The prices for May to-day are the
highest that have ruled for that option
since 1891.
There appeared to be but one factor
in the market, the almost complete
control that Joseph Letter has of May.
1t was a struggle of shorts all day to
cover, with very little wheat offering,
and that from the outside, though
there was some local selling against
privileges. The market was very ex-
cited toward the close, many shorts
who had hitherto held out being driven
to cover by the heavy calls for mar
gins. Cuban news added to the I'M
certainty of the situation but had lit
tie more apparent effect than other
outside matters.

Entertainment at Harmonic Hall Last
Night.
In Harmonic hall Tuesday night was
given the first of a series Of four enter
tainments by p. H. Sheridan council,

vented and S. G. Fleetwood spoke in
stead. His address was in the main

WEIGHING THE EARTH.
Lecture by President Mendenhall In the
Sheffield Course.


Old Mother Earth is no featherweight
according to the figures given by Pres
ident T. G. Mendenhall in his lecture
in the Sheffield course, Tuesday night,
President Mendenhali and other scien-
lists now estimate her weight at 6,000-
900, 100000, o00,0O0oO0 tons. For a long
time she kept her weight a secret, but
after many trials and experiments the
inquisitive scientists got her on the
scales and now her avordupois is an
open secret. 81
President Mendenhal1's lecture last
night described the methods by which
this result has been obtained, his sub
ject being weighing the Earth" 1t
was the first in the series of lectures
in the Sheffield course and was listened
to by a large audience. President Men
denhall is a distinguished scientist, is
a prominent member of the National
Academy Of Sciences and is now at
the head of the Worcester Polytechnic
Institute. Although his lecture last
evening was necessarily somewhat
technical, the description Of the scien-
tific methods and apparatus was made
| not only ineligible, but interesting to
all.
The lecturer said that there had been
for a long time attempts to compute
the earth's weight. AS great a scien-
| fist as Sir Isaac Newton worked at the
problem, failed to get the answer and
said that it could not be done. Later
scientists found that Newton had made
two mistakes in his figuring, which
made his result wrong. The greatest
difficulty which confronted all the ear
ly scientists in ascertaining the earth's
| weight was the lack Of any means for
| finding the force of attraction between
bodies. This difficulty has been sur
mounted, and now scientists have sew
eral machines whereby the force of at
traction between small bodies can be
closely calculated. The best and the
one most frequently employed is the
Boise machine, which is now highly
perfected.
The lecturer in closing described ex-
periments made by him, in connection
with others, in estimating the weight
| of mountain in Japan. This noun
tain is especially adapted to this pur-
pose because Of its symmetry and uni
form density. With the Boise machine
/ experiments were made at the base OF
the mountain and also at it's summit
! BY this means, finding the force of the
mountains attraction, they proceeded
to ascertain the mountains weight by
| measurements and tests as to the den
sity of its substance. Having obtain.
ed the mountains weight, proportion
was available from which to secure the
earth's weight The experiments or
the mountain were conducted in the
Buddhist shrine, which its priest al.
lowed them to turn into a laboratory
4 for the time being.
The next lecture in this course will
be given by Professor L. v. Prison or
Crossing the Caucasus" on Friday
/ night.

Rev. John W. Simpson died February
Is at Smithtown, Long Island. Mr.
Simpson was pastor of the Methodist
church in Bristol In 1857 and 1858, and
it was during his passionate that John
H. Sessions was converted and the
class was formed which has met in the
Polkville school house for forty years.
Mr.. Simpson preached the sermon at
the meeting every year but one since
the class was formed and was present
and preached last month. He was
nearly seventy-one years Of age. Mr..
and Mrs Sessions will attend the fu-
neral to-day.
Only a few years ago Mr.. Simpson
was stationed in Plainville, so that he
was we'll known in that vicinity.

NEW HAVEN

to their ability to hold the market or
the best way in which to effect the
liquidation of their holdings. Twice dur
ing the day very powerful support was
forthcoming in the market to check the
decline and to combat the successful
raid of the bears. That there was very
large short selling during the day was
evident from the strength of the raj
lies covered by the covering of shorts
when the turning point at the low level
was reached. This was particularly
noticeable in some of the greatest fav-
orites of recent speculation, which
have been pushed up to prices hardly
warranted by their intrinsic value. The
knowledge possessed by the bears Of
very heavy speculative holdings in
those stocks covered by light margins,
gave them confidence in fiercely selling
them down. The support of the bulls
no sooner effected check to the de-
cline than realizing offers began to
come out again. There was an album
dant supply of long stock fed into the
market all day long, and it was evident
that the bulls had abandoned an imme-
date campaign for a rise as hopeless.
| How far the speculative holdings for a
rise were liquidated to-day remains
| to be seen. 1t seems sufficiently evil
dent, however, that as soon as this IL
quotation can be concluded prices of
securities will be left for the time being
| to find their natural level. Stocks
which have been free from recent man.
| ipulation for rise were comparatively
firm to-day and the so-called Klondike
| group, notably Oregon Short Line, was
even aggressively strong, rising at one
time six points. This was on reports
for the large traffic opening up for
| Alaska. Great Northern preferred
| gained points and Denver preferred
showed comparative firmness. Kansas
and Texas preferred also rallied to last
nights level before the close. Other
| wise the weakness of stocks was only
a question of degree. The local traction
stocks were all severely handled, Met.
ropolitan Street railway falling at one
time 91a points and closing at a loss Of
6 points. Norfolk and Western pre-
ferred was raided down nearly points
at one time but closed at a recovery Of
2 points. Northern Pacific preferred
also yielded at one time 81, but recov'
cred sharply. Net declines of 2 point:
and upwards are very numerous al
through the list.
Bonds were heavy in sympathy witt
stocks, but declines were not so severe
and the market was not as active az
that for stocks. Total sales, s4,100,00
United States old tours registered
new tours registered and the fives were

Charles Tweed Russell of Haddam,
ex-United States consul to Liverpool,
papers in civil suit for $4,000 dam
ages brought by James w. Elwell of
New York and Jacob s. Winslow of
Portland, Me. The papers were served
by Deputy Sheriff Koon in the Tontine
hotel dining room, and Mr.. Russells
body was attached. He had not yet
secured bonds last night, but was I'M
der the surveillance of the deputy sher-
if and expected to secure bonds from
security company this morning. The
plaintiffs allege in their suit that Mr.
Russell obtained from them $1,000 by
false pretenses.

cause 1t isn't penny, and then groWl
because the church costs SO much to
maintain and because religion is such
an expensive luxury.
II wonder how much such Chris
tian will weigh when God weighs him
up at the final judgment?
Men will spend their money for per-
sonal Injuries, and midnight suppers,
and gaudy apparel. yet when asked to
give to Christ a small fraction of what
is justly due Him, they turn their
backs upon the Master, and continue to
squander their substance upon self,
and the churches go begging because
of the parsimoniousness of Christians
who deny Christ a place at the ban
quet and offer him instead the rinds
and the pealings.
"Oh, Christian heart, awake. Let the
scales drop from your eyes. Render
unto God the tribute that is justly His
and let not self-indulgence stand be-
tween you and the welfare of your i'm
mortal soul.
God Is swinging His balances in our
midst tonight. On the one side He
places our evil passions, our miserly
gifts, our hatred OF others, our bitter
ness of heart over real or fancied
wrongs, our petty jealousies. our I'M
faithful service and our multitudinous
sins. On the other side, of the balance
He places each Individual life. Weigh
ed in the balance are we and art found
wanting.
"God help us to so regulate our lives
that the good deeds may more closely
counterbalance the, evil, and forgive
ness may come through Christ our re-
demption from sin"

said that the varying phases of the

aster is pregnant. The occasional

Washington, June 25.-The island
Cuba is, to the best knowledge of the
officials here, tied to outside world
with only one cable save those cross
ing to Key West, and the war depart
ment, through General Greedy, isnot
relaxing it's efforts to cut that last
link. This runs into the island at
Santiago, crossing from Kingston,
and belongs to an English company.
For several weeks past it has been
know. that this cable was in work
ing order, and that the st. Louis
has been trying desperately to cut it.
In addition, the cable steamer Man.
Gel is to be assigned to the task, and
between the two it is hoped that the
cable will soon be cut.
The Kingston cable was laid fully
twenty years ago, and has become
covered with marine deposits until
original size has been increased to
that of q mans arm. In addition
to that, the cable is completely COW

County Politics.

The republican central Committee
OF Hand county met Saturday ana
opened the campaign by calling the
county convention. The state con-
vention is not held until August 24th,
but the committee thought it wise to
call the county convention before
harvest work began, so that farmers
could readily attend the convention.
The county convention, as will be
seen by official call elsewhere IN TINS
paper. is on Thursday July l4th at
Miller. The apportionment is one
delegate at large in each township
and one delegate for each five votes
or major fraction thereof cast Tor A.

Yankee Ingenuity.

Juragua, June %, via Playa del
Estee, June 25.-In their fight from
Baiquiri the Spanish hastily tried to
disable locomotive standing with
steam up on the the track, by dis
connecting the coupling rods, the
throttle lever and several essential
parts, burying some and throwing
Others into the sea. Two engineers
happened to be with the advance
squadron of the Twentysceond in
fantry and the troops went for the
locomotive with a yell
The soldiers, hunting aboutfor the
missing parts, found some and i'm
provised Others. One engineer act
ing as fireman and the other ut the
throttle, in twenty minutes they ran
her into Juragua with the tender fGll
of sharpshooters, delirious with enc
thusiasm over Yankee ingenuity.
The engineer remarked:
''If the fools had knocked in the
cylinder head we could not have fix
ed her"
The iron railway bridge at Jura-
qua was slightly damaged during
yesterdays bombardment; but the
rolling stock is safe, and if the track
to the east is not destroyed thu
transportation problem is solved.
