AVERTED A PANIC.
Russell Sage Says the Bond Pur-
chase Offer Prevented a Finan-
cial Disaster.

New York, Nov. 17.-Russell Sage is
quoted today as saying to a newspaper
interviewer who asked him what he
thought of the United States treasury Of
fer to buy $50 100000 of bonds:
II believe Secretary Cages action has
saved the financial world from a disas-
trous panic. No one who has been in
touch with business enterprises during
the past few months can fail to have
realized the stringency of the money mar
ket. Ready money appeared to be ex-
traordinarily scarce, and those who
had it held it or demand
ed the highest class securities before they
let go. / know of banks in different parts
of the country which had the hardest
kind of time in realizing money. And
yet they held securities that ordinarily
would have been negotiable anywhere.
The sharps took advantage of the situa-
ton. They were making rich harvest
of it, but the government has stopped
their game"

UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH.
William Scarborough of Appleton
Relieved to be in Trouble.

Appleton, Wis, Nov. 17.-There is now
little doubt that William Scarborough,
one of the four American soldiers re-
Gently court -martialed and sentenced to
be shot in the Philippines, is a Wiscon-
sin man. Scarborough is described as a
private of Co. B, Third United States in
fantry, Fl years old, and as having en-
listed in Milwaukee. This conforms in
every respect with the description Of
William Scarborough, son of James
Scarborough of this city. The young
man served in the Spanish. American
war in CO. A (Marshfeld) of the Second
regiment, Wisconsin volunteers. He
came home suffering from severe at
tack of typhoid fever, recovered and re-
enlisted several months ago at Milwau-
kee in the Third United States infantry.
Strong effort is being made at Washing
ton to secure Communication OF the
death sentences, if not by action of Pre-
sident Mckinley, then by raising of ques-
tion of jurisdiction.

GORGEOUS-HUED FISH.

Not Found in tropical Waters, but
Off the Coast OF England.
One of the most gorgeous fishes in the
world is found, strangely enough. not in
tropical waters, but off the coast of
England, where the waters are gray and
deep and cold. 1t is the opah, or king.
fish. This species reaches a weight of
from 30 to 100 pounds, and is shaped
a little like the great sunfsh Of the At
lantic ocean in American waters.
The fish has immense eyes, of which
the iris is bright scarlet The gill
covers are green and gold, and the rest
of the fish is flashing red and green, over
which there play sheens of purple and
gold. Again over this sheen there is an
other still more transparent film of sill
yer, which plays in large white spots over
the rest of the bright celors. The fins,
which are large and sword-shaped, are a
vivid red

North American Review, was elected

large interest in the company. The
shareholders sold $1,000,0OO of stock

Prefer Going to Jail Rather than
Submit to Vaccination.

Americas, Ga, Nov. 17.--Nearly the
entire membership of the Christian Sci

mayors court yesterday to answer to
charges of refusing to submit to vac
cination. Among the defendants We're
twenty ladies and number of boys and
girls. Attorneys for the defense obtained
a continuance of the cases until today.
The Scientists will be given the a.terna-
tive of being quarantined at their own
residences or going to prison. Many of
them. it is said, will choose the latter.
The affair has caused a tremendous SEN

SPANS Golden Legend.

Sonora Pardo-Bazan- is lecturing in
Paris on "The Spain of Today and the
Spain OF Tomorrow" for the purpose
OF rehabilitating her compatriors after
their recent disasters. She attempts to
refute the idea that Spanish decadence
is due to religious fanaticism. 1t is
not the black legend" which has been
the ruin of the country, but rather the
golden legend" of past national great
ness. Under the influence of this
mirage the people thought it quite suf-
fcient for minister to proclaim that
America would be shattered against
the rampant of Spanish breasts" for
this to become an accomplished fact.
Much in the same spirit the nation
clamored for the promotion of Lieut.
Peral to the rank of admiral on the
mere rumor that he had solved the
problem of submarine navigation. But
alas! this eminent inventor is now en-
gagged in fitting telephones and electric
bells. Don Quixote, in fact, is really
the patron saint of the peninsula. But
in spite Of bourgeois apathy and the
despotic rapacity of village politicians,
Sonora Pardo-Bazan contends that the
heart Of Spain is sound enough, and
that the people and the leading states
men are generous, honest and disinter-
eSted.-LOndon Chronicle.

BEAUTIES OF LACE.

A Erenchman Says That 1t Lends Poetry
to Existence.
Lace observed the AmericaniZed
Frenchman who buys the lace for one
Of the big shops, to a New York Com
mercial Advertiser writer, sis one OF
the great blessings of the race. Lace
makers are universal benefactors. Who
could not be happy with gown of
cream net, embroidered with beautiful
flowers in mousseline applique, Louis
XVI. design? I would like one myself,
just to look at. Last season lace was
bought by the dozen yards and used
by the mile. This year acres of it will
trim the gowns of American nobility.
1t will make the counts feel at home
to see SO much lace in Newport. All
French women love lace; they wear it
from the time they are carried to
church in lace christening robes to the
day when they are buried, in white
satin and lace, like a bride. Lace is
more useful than flowers, because 1t
is suitable for all ages and all occa-
sions. In the breakfast room jewels
are bad form, but there one sees the
daintiest of arrangements in lace. It
adds fresh grace to a pretty white
neck and a new charm to a round,
supple wrist, and it sets off to advan-
tage the simple morning couture. Lace
may be worn at coronation and it il
not out of place on a dressing gown.
1t makes existence easier on Fifth ave-
nue. and it condescends to brighten the
gloom of the trolley car. All, madam,
you must live among, live with and
i've by the study Of laces, as 1 have
done, to feel this way. 1 only wait
for the day when some great man shall
revolutionize our ugly clothes; then I,
too, shall wear lace jabot and rufies
of lace in my sleeves"

For two hours-they seemed an eter-
nifty to met would appear. the four
Spanish officers fingered over their
wine-f1asks and cigars in the wooded
rav1ne, their movements being duly
reported from time to time by one of
the outlaws, who stole to the cavern
mouth and peeped out
At last they mounted, and rode off
when a fresh cause for wrath and de-
lay was produced by the announce
ment that wagon, drawn by mules.
and attended by several laborers and
negroes, had broken down on the road
about a mile distant
The irritation of our Spaniards-
some OF whom spoke of having a shin
to join-was now so great that I feared
they might end the whole affair nv
disposing of us in a summary manner.
This wagon being heavily laden
caused delay for several hours The
suns rays ceased to shine througb the
assure above us; the grotto drew dark
by the increase of imperceptible shad-
ows; the dingy faces of our oliye-slxin
ned detainers grew darker still: and
their Impotence was only surpassed DIV
ours, for we, TOO, had a ship to re-

Alcoholism in France.

In weighty paper just prepared for
the French Bulletin Meo.cal, DR.. Bru-
non, an eminent medical writer, de-
clares that the greatest national peril
hanging over France just now is alco-
holism. and more than all, alcoholism
among women. Singularly enough his
researches have demonstrated that the
women of picturesque Normandy are
more completely in the grasp of the
drink fiend than the women of any 9TH
er province of France Drink is sold
by the grocer, the coal dealer-even by
the green grocer; and what is still
more fatal, nearly every shopkeeper
dispenses "wee drops" to customers
worth cultivating-ju to steady the
connection. The question assumes a
dark aspect in its relation to the ter
rible infant mortality in Normandy,
which DR.. Brunon attributes to the al
most universal prevalence Of chronic
alcoholism among women of the peas
ant and artisan classes.-London

mortal eye could measure, and no hu-
man being could contemplate without
awe and terror, we heard strange
buzzing sound, as if from the bowels
of the inner earth, far-heaven alone
knows how far-down below.
In fact, we were upon the verge OF
one of those natural spiracles which
the natives term "the nostrils," or ave-
nues through which the hot vapors OF
that tremendous Piton ascend; and
the buzzing sound that made our
hearts shrink, we scarcely knew why,
was caused by some volcanic throe at
the bottom of the mountain, whose
base is many a mile below the waters
of the sea.
The assure was also twelve feet
broad, and across it there lay plank,
forming species of bridge.
Two Of our captors crossed, and then
ordered us to follow them.
I followed like one in dream; but
my heart was chilled by terror so
deadly that I had no power or
thought of resistance. My first fear
was that the plank might be trundled
from under our feet, and that we
would be launched into the black abyss
below; but such was not the object of
these Spaniards, as Tom and I were
permitted to pass in safety.
The remainder of the thieves fol-
lowed, and we found ourselves in an
other grotto, the roof Of which was
covered by stalactites, that glittered
like gothic pendants of alabaster in the
light that fell from the upper assure,
which formed natural window, and
through it we could see the thin, white
steam ascending and curling in the
sunshine.
Now, supposing that they had us in
perfect security, our captors proceed
I'D to hold a consultation as to what
tney should do with us; and imagin-
ing that we were both ignorant of their
language, or, what is more probable,
caring little whether we knew it or
not, they canvassed the most terrible
resolutions with perfect GOODNESS and
freedom of speech.

The Ventana.

Tom Lambourne'S face wore some
what of a blanched hue, through
| which the stripes of his tattoing seem
| ed blacker than ever. A severe cut
on his forehead, from which the blood
| was oozing, did not add to his per-
Sonal appearance. He scarcely knew a
word of Spanish, but seemed instinc-
lively aware that we had fallen into
hands nearly as dangerous as his for
mer acquaintance, the Mussolongos,
for he said:
Master Rodney, I fear we have run
our last knot off the log-,ine, and our
sandglass won't run again, unless
heaven gives the order to turn. Yet,
if could but get one of these mus
kets, to have a shot at the rascally
cargo-puddlers before it's all over with
us, I would be content. AS it is, I am

if we escaped unhurt, but were detain-

Then I burned to avenge the lawless

Would Create a Demand.

A speculator, who had made a large
fortune out of a medicine for a disease
common among sheep, thought that
fine market for his patent would be
found in Australia. He knew there
was an enormous number of sheep in
that country, so he sent out his son
to open out this most promising con-
nection. The young man wrote to his
father as follows: This is a splendid
place. The sheep are as plentiful as
reported, and have no doubt we could
do a glorious business if we had the
chance But before sending me out
here you should have sent the sheep

unless you can let me have a box of
microbes, 1 had better come home. =
