WOOL FROM STONE.


Great Trade.
The conversion of the fiintiest,
toughest limestone into soft, white
wool is one of the wonders of the CEN
tury which will appear in practical
way to the manufacturers. Wonderful
and almost impossible as it may seem,
this process is being carried ON sue
cessfully by man who expects his dis
coyery to revolutionize the wool and
cloth manufacturing industries. The
discoverer was making some tests
OF stone, and was using heat and
chemicals to analyze them. He hap
pened upon limestone which. when
subjected to the tests, acted unexpect-
edly. The usual course Of stone under
the conditions he was submitting it to
is to become quicklime, but in this in
stance 1t ran into a lava. To all out
ward appearances the stone was COM
mon building stone. 1t had been used
In many buildings, but it had a chem
icial quality that was very different.
The molten mass was very pliable
like glass when 1t is in the same state.
Glass may be strung out like silk.
and 1t has been converted into dress
goods. The man conceived the idea Of
carrying his experiment still further
This white lava was subjected to
chemical baths. and then to draw
Ing out process, by which it was con.
yerted into the finest and most pliable
white wool.

seinerIes Unable 70 supply tho Home
Demand.
Mr.. Mertens, In charge OF the United
rtates consular agency at Valencia, un-
81 date Of June 5, 1899, says: "Since
re loss OF her colonies Spain's sugar
elories, with a. yearly production Of
fcut 10000 tons. are unable to satisfy
he pubic demand, which amounts in
al Spain to about 100000 tons of sugar
tlnlng the year. A high prohibitive
duty OF 102A per cent on foreign SUI
car protects the home Industry and
stands In the way OF sugar dealers and
consumers. For this reason union
Of tradespeople and merchants OF the
different cities Of Spain have petitioned
the Spanish government to reduce the
import duty to so per cent, which
would afford fair protection for the
refineries and at the same time permit
the import of sufficient sugar to supply
the demand. While this petition meets
with great opposition from the retin-
ers still, in view of the need of sugar
and the small chance of increasing
either the number of factories or their
output in the near future. the Spanish
government will probably reduce the
duty; more especially as this will add
to the customs income of the country
and do away with the incentive for
smuggling. AS soon as this reduction
becomes a law our dealer in refined
sugar should be ready with samples to
secure contracts before the competi-
tion with other countries becomes too

FOR THEIR SINS

Carib Indians starye and CastIgats
Themselves.
IN the whole wide world there is not
a class Of people to be found who in
fict severer punishment upon them
selves than. the .Caribs of Central
America. Their religion. which is one
OF the most peculiar kind, demands
self-punishment for sins Intentionally
or unintentionally committed. The
punishment takes the form of starva-
tion and close confinement. If the sin
be in the form of lie, no matter
whether 1t is calculated 70 injure an
other or not, the sinner goes without
either food or drink for three days, at
the end of which 1t is believed that the
offender has paid the penalty for his
or her sin. Blaspheming and using bad
language is punishable by absolute
starvation for two days. Assault,
and other serious sins call
for four days starvation for one week,
three days starvation for the second
week. two days starvation for the
third week, and one days starvation in
the fourth week. All sins are punished
with starvation. For that reason crime
is very low among the Caribs, who are
the best behaved and most
truthful people in the world.

PRONOUNCED YELLOW FEVER.
One Case Developed Mt the Hotel
Miami Lnst Friday.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. Pa case of
yellow fever has been announced at Miami
by DR.. ]. l.. Horsey, assistant state health
officer.
The case is that of a man named Har-
grove, and was discovered at the Hotel
Miami last Friday. 1t was held under
suspicion and was not officially pronounc-
ed to be yellow fever until to-day.
The patient has been removed tive miles
down the river on a vessel. and the in
mates of the hotel have been isolated on
the steamer Santa Lucia, the quarantine
ana distnfecting boat. The hotel has been
closed and is being disinfected The case
mas thus been placed on the same footing
as that of Anderson, the only one that
mas before appeared at Miami.
Inc source of the present case has not
yet been traced. A house TO house in
spection is being made. DR.. Horsey reports
that there is no fear of a spreading of
the disease, and says that lie has the
situation well in hand. He wires that
there is no excitement at Miami. and that
there has been no exodus.

BEARS WERE UTTERLY ROUTED
EFFORTS TO DEPRESS THE COTTON
MARKET FAILED.

Yesterdays Developments on the
New York Cotton Exchange We're
quite sensatiOnaI-March Carried
Up to 6.74-LiverpOOI Market Said
to Have Broken Away From the
Bears-GIOOmy Crop Outlook Has
Had Very Telling Eject.
New York. Sept. 25.-To-day's develop
ments on the New York Cotton Exchange
We're of a sensational nature.
AS long as two weeks ago the bull trad
ers asserted that the market was unjus-
tihably low, considering the character of
the crop reports and the excellent trade
conditions in the cotton cloth markets of
the world. They at once began to back
up their convictions by purchasing in all
the weaker intervals, and a times adopt
ing even a more vigorous policy.
At the opening of last week the opposi-
tion of the Liverpool market and the Eu-
ropean cotton trade in general was added
to that of the local bear interest and a
battle royal began. But day after day the
bull forces scored signal gains, until at
the close of Saturday general rise of
40 points had been recorded.
Believing the market to be entitled to
a substantial reaction, shorts looked for
a change of fortune to-day. But events
proved that even worse setbacks than pre-
viousiy experienced were to be met with,
and the bulls administered a drubbing long
to be remembered. On the first call prices
shot up II to Il points. and further i'm
proved during the first hour on tremen-
dous buying from all quarters, though not
ably from the short side. March was car
ried to 6.74c, a rise of SO points since the
upward movement was begun.
The bear forces were in utter rout, and
the greatest excitement prevailed. Though
there We're relapses later under wild spurts
of proht-taking the market showed inher-
ent strength and wonderful recuperative
ability
Sensations rumors were circulated to
the effect that the Liverpool market had
broken away from the bear clique, which
has dominated it for months. Public ad-
vices seemed to bear out these stories, as
did an influx of large buying orders from
Manchester and other spinning centers of
Europe.
Reduced crop estimates, gloomy crop tes-
timony. active and higher spot markets
in the South, and talk of smaller receipts
from now on in the interior belt, were
influences bearing on sentiment in the 10
cal market to-day. Speculation as a whole
exceeded any single days business for
many months

PREPARATIONS ron DEWEY.
New York City Is Already Putting
ON Gala Attirc.

New York, Sept. 25.-From the Battery
to Harlem the streets show evidence of the
preparation for Admiral Deweys welcome.
Nearly every office building In the business
districts on Broadway, and the down town
thoroughfares, is being decorated with
flags, bunting shields and streamers, and
the enthusiasm displayed in the adornment
of private houses Is not behind hand.
Fifth avenue as the main route of the
parade, presents a busy appearance.
Stands are building all along its length,
on the steps of churches offices and dwell
ings. Vacant windows bear huge pictures
of the admiral, coupled with the sign, ITO
Let for Dewey Day"
The town is already crowded with peo-
PIE. All the hotels areefull and furnished
rooms are pretty Wen taken up.
The reception committee has finally de-
cided upon the order to be taken by the
city officials and the guests of the city in
the land parade of next Saturday. 1t is
as follows:
Sousas band battalion sailors from
Olympia Dewey and the Mayor, Dewey S
five captains at Manila Deweys personal
staff, Rear Admiral Sampson and Ran
do!ph Guggenheimer, Admiral Simpsons s
staff, Admiral Philip commandant of the
New York station and President T. f.
Woods of the board of aldermen, staff of
Admiral Philip, junior officers of the
Olympia, junior officers of the North At
lantic squadron.
That will complete the naval formation.
Then will come the guests of the city in
this order:
Visiting governors, not accompanied
Maj Gen. Miles and aides Rear Admiral
Schley and Rear Admiral Miller (retired) +;
joint committee of the municipal assembly
fourteen of them); sailors of the North
Atlantic Squadron
Following the sailors will be soldiers of
the regular and other military organiza-
tions.
At a meeting of the United Irish So
cieties of New York to-day resolutions
were adopted declaring that
whereas, a committee of officers repre-
senting the Irish volunteers waited upon
Maj Gen. Roe, grand marshal of the pa
rade, and asked and were refused a pace
in the parade, we take emphatic exception
to this action as invidiOus, If not hostile to
the Irish volunteers, and resent the unjust
discrimination as depriving the regiment
of the honor of a position in the line Of
march as admirers and fellow-citizens Of
the hero of Manila Admiral Dewey"

She was captured by the navy early in
the war, and has been on police duty in
the bay for months past. The records of
the navy department show that she was

posed to draw all of her supplies from
the battleship, to be manned from the Ore
CONS crew, and to act under the instrAc-
tions of the Oregon's commander.
According to the last reports to the de-
partment, the little boat was last May un-

Wood was appointed to the naval acad-
