NTH 4 YER DOLLAR ANDA TACK.
How a Circus Bill Was Made to Hang sus-
pended from IA Ceiling.

"Of course we used TO put up small bills wherever
they d catch the eye " said bill poster who trav-
elled with circus making one day stands, and
one thing we used to do that always pleased folks
was TO hang bill from a ceiling, You had TO have
wooden ceiling to start with. and then all you
wanted, besides the bills. was tack and a silver
dollar 1t took practise TO do IT, but when you'd
got the knack II was very simple and easy.
You attached two hills together. one at the
foot OF the other 80 that II would hang down when
the first one was attached to the ceiling. Then
you folded the bills up with a tack. thrust point
upward through the top fold of the upper bill
with silver dollar under it, up against its head
and between II and the other folds Of paper under
H.
Then, sometime when the room was full Of
people-this might be a hotel Office or perhaps d
barroom-yOu tossed the bills up. and there was
weight enough in the dollar drive the tack into
the ceiling far enough To hold. Then the weight
Of the paper itself and Of the dollar would open

STEAMER BURNS Ar NIGHT
Passengers Escape without Their
Day Attire, Some LeapinE Into
the Mississippi.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1s.-A special to the Post
steamer State of Kansas of the Tennessee
River Packet company burned to the waters
edge at 1 o'clock a. m. while lying at the
foot Of Main street. All the passengers es-
capped, but several hundred bales OF cotton
considerable freight and baggage were de-
stroyed
The fire started in the front cabin when
all of the passengers and most OF the crew
were asleep. They were quickly awakened
and all gained the shore safely just in time
to escape the flames. The landing stage was
burned away, but planks were run out to
the shore and the passengers crossed on
these. Some of them had been awakened SO
suddenly that they had not time to dress.
They wore nothing but their night dresses
and were shoeless and hatless. number OF
passengers on the opposite side of the boat
Fortunately the water was not deep there
and they waded ashore safely The wind
was blowing strong from off shore and for
time threatened the buildings along the
water front with destruction from the flying
embers.
The steamer State of Kansas belonged to
the Memphis & Cincinnati Steamship line.
She was bound for Cincinnati from Memphis,
which place she left last Saturday with her
cabins well filled with passengers and
heavy load OF freight consisting OF 1,600 bales
of cotton and miscellaneous merchandise
The loss should not exceed $4,000.

BOSTON STOCKS ALSO SLUMP
Failures in New York Causes Anxiety
in Financial Cirelcs-Stun-
tion is Unsettled.

BOSTON, Dec. 1S.-Confdence in financial
circles in this city was apparently restored
this morning by the united efforts during
Sunday of bankers and brokers to be again
shaken by the failures in New York.
Tonight the entire situation is unsettled
enough to cause anxiety. The local stock
market quickly followed New York, but the
slump did not bring with it any failures
among local brokers. Copper stocks under
went further contraction and there is some
apprehension tonight as to the outcome to-
morrow.
The offer of the Clearing House associa-
tion to assist any bank in temporary straits
probably did much to ease matters here to-
day and coupled with it came the report OF
satisfactory showing On the part of the
t-So banks in difficulty-the Globe and the
Broadway-and also from the assignee of j.
p. Squire G. Co., the failed pork packers.
1t is understood, however, that the affairs
OF all the banks which hold loans in copper
stocks and other securities which have
shown sharp declines are being thoroughly
Investigated and if any is found in bad
state it will be closed.
1t was stated tonight that the clearing
house committee had already printed and
signed a large number of clearing house
certificates in anticipation of call for them
tomorrow, although it is not believed that
any bank will make application unless the
money market becomes more stringent.

ANOTHER 1RUoT COMPANY HIT

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.--The Seventh Ma

dents tonight that 1t would not continue to
clear for the International Banking and
Trust company No explanation for the ac-
tion OF the Seventh National was given other
than that 1t was to protect the interest of the
bank.
The International Banking and Trust COM
pany is a new concern and has been clear
ing through the Seventh National. 1t also
maintained close business relations with the
Produce Exchange Trust company, which
suspended today.
The Produce Exchange Trust company
held big block of the stock of the Interna-
tional Trust company as security, as shown
by It's statements of assets and Liabilities.
The Seventh National bank. it was learned
tonight, did not know that the Produce EX-
change Trust company held any of the stock
of the International Trust company until the
statement of the former appeared. AS a
measure of security pending an investiga-
tion it decided to notify its correspondents
that it would no longer clear for the Interna-
tional.
The International Trust company was or
ganized six or seven months ago. with
capital of $1,000 00O to transact general
banking business. Its officers are: Stewart

HEAVY pREAK IN COTTON PRICES.
Unprecedented E4citcmcnt Prevails

IuDrCCedcnted ENCttcmCnt PrgNutIS
on New York Cotton Exchange.
NEW YORK Dec. 1S.-Almost unprsced-
cnted excitement prevailed on the Cotton ex-
change today. Seldom II ever in the history
OF the institution has the volume of bust
ness been so great as that transacted to-
day No official record of the sales is made
but it is estimated that the amount OF cot
ton traded i'm came near reaching the mill
lion bale mark, the heaviest previous total
being about soc 600 There was a perfect
avalanche of orders. The opening was easy
at a decline Of 10 points. From the clos
ing figures of Saturday the market, as shown
by the weakest interval, broke 30 to SO
points, at which time condition bordering
on panic prevailed.
The decline was attended by the greatest
irregularity with frequent and violent re-
actions, the price at times moving full )
points. 1t was pandemonium let loose. The
original cause OF the collapse was heavy
selling started by Wall street interests. Sem
sational reports reached the exchange TO the
effect that the rate OF money was advancing
rapidly The more stalwart bulls made
numerous efforts to turn the market, but a
renewed pressure of long cotton would make
it's appearance on every reaction.
The principal upward swing was in the
early afternoon, when the market gained IA
points, only to topple over again. The gen.
eral weakness was increased by the situation
in South Africa leading to fears that politi-
cal troubles abroad were likely to involve
other powers.
The English cotton market declined to
Az points and closed at the lowest figures
The final phases of the market were little
better on covering at net decline of 23 to 26
points on the present crop.

walked into the court room with his hat on,

in the back the ball passing near the spinal
column, inflictng what is believed to be
mortal wound.
When Wheat fired he dropped the pistol
and ran towards the door. John Halligan,
brother-in-law of jenkins. grabbed 1t up and
fred at Wheat, missing him. Wheat and
Halligan were both put in jail later, but the
latter was released in bonds OF $1,000.

Convincing Proof.

The great Sir Isaac Newton, one OF the
most profound reasoners the world ever
produced, once cut large hole in a board
fence TO allow favorite cat access to two
gardens, and cut smaller hole TO allow
her kitten to follow her. The weakness
manifested in Sir Isaac's action was due to
want OF thought. Any reader who men
tally debates the proof offered here about

other conclusion than that stated in this
