New York. Aug. 5-The stream of spec
ulation and investment money continued
to pour into stocks and bonds to-day with
out interruption. Prices throughout the
list were lifted sharply. The proht-tsking
movement, which has been a drag on the
leading industrials for several days past.
was apparently ended to-day and the
bears who sold these stocks early on the
assumption that realizing was still In pro-
eress were forced to buy back later.
The result was TO bring the industriaIs
INTO the general current OF the market.
which moved upward with a tidal sweep
The railroads themselves were somewhat
unsettled at the opening and most OF the
leading stocks declined a to n before the
upward movement OF prices set in. The
opening was in sympathy with
London and the quickness with which il
was overcome was a striking evidence of
the Independence of the local stock ex-
change. There was a disposition behind
London and Paris on the reported friction
between Russia and Great Britain. and
there was quite urgent selling here for
London account.
The aggressive buying which has been
noticed in Wall street for several DAYS
quickly turned prices upwards and gained
In volume on the advance. Burlington
continued to be the leader and scored an
extreme advance of "a. points. The gran
gers came next in point OF Importance and
the Pacific roads followed with quite a
INST OF lesser stocks trailing on the move
ment.
A marked feature of the trading was
the large individual blocks of stock which
were taken at the opening figures. Quite
a number of the speculative leaders show
ed single transactions OF 1000 shares or
upwards at the high prices of the day.
There was some disposition to realize i'm
the last hour but a decline OF a fraction
quickly reduced the market to dulIness.
The market was remarkably broad and
active during the day. bringing into ac-
tivity many long dormant stocks. Deal
ings In bonds were not on as large a scale
as yesterday, but the demand continued
active and well distributed and carried
prices vigorously upward all through the

War Clouds In Europe.

London, Aug. 5.-There is a great un-
easiness on all sides here. in view OF the
Chinese situation, which is regarded as
bringing an open conflict between Great
Britain and Russia within measurable
distance and it is universally felt that
the Marquis OF Salisbury in yielding to
Russian aggressiveness is responsible for
the dangerous complication, which can
only be overcome by prompt and most
firm intimation that Russia's open oppo-
sition TO British commercial concessions
must cease. In this connection a story Is
current that the Princess of Wales hur-
ried departure from England was In re-
Spouse to a dispatch from her sister. the
dowager empress of Russia, bearing upon
Anglo-Russian relations. II Is well known
that the dowager empress II s~trenuously
working to conclude a definite under
standing regarding Anglo-Russian inter
ests I'm the far east, and IL is said great
Importance is attached to the meeting OF
the sisters at Copenhagen.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-07-28

Every year modern habits become
more unlovely and modern sensibilltles
more blunted. The preservation OF what
is beautiful, per Sc at the present time
is almost always ridiculed, unless it can
be shown to be joined to some profit or
utility.
The characteristic passion OF the hour
is greed-groed of possession desire
of acquisition and passion for osten'
tation. Trade has become an octopus en-
bracing the whole world. The thirst
for gain engrosses all classes. Beauty
unless it be means of gain, is to this
temper a useless, or worse than use
less, thing; it is regarded as a stumbling
block and incumbrance. 1t is doubtful
if even the power of perceiving what Is Is
beautiful has not in great measure le1t
large part of the population III an
countries. Modern cities would not be
what they are now had not the race &c
great extent grown color blind and be-
come without the sense OF proportion
Modern builders and modern engineers
would remain unoccupied were not the
generations which employ and enrich
them destitute of all artistic feelings

Captain Kidd In Story and In Fact.

Among all the pirates who have fig
ured in history, legend or song there is
one whose name stands pre-eminent in
America as the typical hero of the
dreaded black flag. The name Of this
man will instantly come to the mind OF
almost every reader, for when we speak
of pirates we usually think Of Captain
Kidd. "a
In fact, however, Captain Kidd was
not typical pirate, for in many ways
he was different from the or binary ma
rine freebooter, especially when we con-
slider him in relation to our own coun-
try. All other pirates who made them
selves notorious on our coast were
known as robbers, pillagers and ruth
less destroyers of life and property, but
Captain Kidd's fame was Of another
kind. We do not think Of him MS
pirate who came to carry away the
property of American citizens, for near
ly all the stories about him relate to his
arrival at different points on cnr shores
for the sole purpose of hiding the rich
treasures which he had collected in 9th
er parts of the world.
This could not fail to make Captain
Kidd a most interesting parsonage, and
the result has been that he has been
lifted into the region Of legendary ro
nance. There are two Captain Kids
the Kidd of song and story, and the
other the Kidd Of fact.-Frank Il

A New Means of Sterilization.

One of the simplest and most thor
ough methods of sterilizing when it can
be used is by means of heat. One Of the
difficulties in the use Of this means is
that the articles may be spoiled, espe-
cially where the heat is long continued.
Baking or placing articles in dry heat
for any length of time is not only an
unreliable method, but attended with
the danger of fire if degree Of heat is
sufficiently thorough to sterilize them.
Boiling or steaming is Objectionable
because most things would be rendered
useless from the contact with moisture.
Experiments have proved that hot oil Is
one Of the best steriliZers known. espe-
cially for instruments.
One of our most eminent surgeons
has demonstrated the fact that the most
complete sterilizing follows the dipping
of surgical instruments into boiling
olive oil. One may determine the tenn
perature of the oil by very simple
process Of dropping bread crumbs into
the oil. When they turn brown and
crisp, the oil is hot enough for the sur
geon s use This is much more con-
venient than using the thermometer,
which may not always be at hand. The
oil may be heated over spirit lamp
and q few spoonfuls will be sufficient
for sterilizing the instruments used in
some of the more simple operations
