The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1899-11-01

The old tradition that man should
cherish his wife, support her as some-
thing infinitely delicate and precious,
shield her from the world, and regard
her not as the pleasant companion Of
the hunting field and smoking rooms
but as the being associated with the
deepest and most enduring sentiment
OF his heart, has of course no signi-
iicance for the new young man, and it
is only just to say that the modern
woman has given him every justifica-
tion for his belief that she can push,
trample and fight as successfully as
the most insensitive male. The sis
ters and mother of the new young
man, il they happen to belong to the
old order of women, are not to be con-
graduated. They will find themselves
one day signing for the old-time young
man. with his chivalrous IDEAS about
women and his stupid, unenlightened
conviction of his own inferioriiy in
most things except force, which he
delighted to use for their benefit aud

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, October 6.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
The grand demonstration in honor
of Admiral Dewey effectually stopped
business of most kinds for two days at
the chief city of the country, and yet
the remaining transactions of the week
would have excited wonder year ago.
At New York, where the interruption
was greatest, payments through clear
ing houses exceeded 81 ,095, 100000 in
four business days, record never be-
fore approached, and outside New York
the gain reflects a great expansion in
the volume of that kind of business
which does not depend on<exchange. 1t
has been a week of remarkable monet
airy conditions here and elsewhere. The
Bank of England raised its rate ! Ter
cent. before and y per cent. after it's
weekly statement, from 81 to per
cent, with the hope that the outgo to
New York might becheeked, but the
Bank of Germany lost also and raised
its rate TO 6 per cent, and the Bank OF
France lost heavily. While high rates
were paid here for money required in
speculation, no strilgency embar-
raises any branch OF legitimate bust
ness, ard the stock market has held up
surprisingly.
With such business as the great steel
companies are doing, it is not strange
that their stocks are firmly held There

WOOL


BOSTON, October 6.-The Boston
Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will
says:
: The activity in wool has continued
throughout this week, and the sales,
which approach in volume those of last
week, have been pretty well divided
among the dealers. The mills are still
running to their full capacity and the
steady consumption of the raw material
keeps manufacturers steadily in the
market, though they are little less
eager buyers than few weeks ago.
Probably their immediate needs are less
urgent. Dealers, show the same indif-
ference at considering prices at all be-
low the market that has characterized
them for some time past, and the whole
trend of values is distinctly upward.
London continues strong and higher,
and our prices are not yet on par with
those prevailing there. Sales for this
week are 1894, 100 bales domestic and
$4,000 bales foreign, a total of 5,897, 600
last week against total of 6,S25, 600
bales for the corresponding week last
year.
Receipts to date show an increase Of
293,394 bales domestic, a decrease of
81, 145 bales foreign as compared with
last year. The sales to date show an
increase of 122,972, 100 bales domestic
and 1880, 900 bales foreign.

evidence that the increase in Freight
rates will come out Of British pockets
rather than from here. The local
price was helped by an impression
quite generally prevailing that crop es-
Inmates have been too liberal, Owing
to the scarcity of cars the shipping
business was slow. Local receipts were
SAC cars. New York reported ia loads
taken for export. December opened at
301s@30Nc. Oats were extremely dull,
but steady. The market in general fol-
lowed corn. The entire range was only
nc. Receipts were Isl cars. Clear
ances were 100000 bushels. Snow put
his estimate OF the crop at $4,000, 600
bushels compared with his estimate OF
1893 100000 last year. December ranged
from 22s4 @227sc to 227s @2Sc and closed
unchanged at 227kc.
Provisions barely held their own,
showing firmness with hogs, which
were unchanged to sc I'D. The cash
trade was not brisk. Hog receipts
were less than expected, 210O0 reaching
the yards January pork opened at
1910 and closed unchanged; January
lard opened at $555 and closed cat that
figure; January ribs opened a shade up
at S5071a@5.10 and closed unchanged.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat

hogs 10000 head.

Sad Story of a Clarisburg Mans Uninten
tional violation of Washington ordi-
nances
Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October g.
The Evening Star prints the following
story OF West Virginians misfor-
tune:
several days ago there came to
washington from Clarksburg, W. Va,
a man named Jesse Banks. In compli-
ance with the request Of friend, after
concluding the business which brought
his to this city, he purchased revolver
for the friends use. Utterly unaware
that he was violating any law by SO
doing, the man exhibited the weapon
to an acquaintance on Pennsylvania
avenue, Banks was speedily arrested
ard taken to the station house, where
he was searched. The cartride5 for the
pistol were found in his pocket The
next morning he was arraigned in the
rolice court on the charge of carrying
a concealed weapon, was convicted by
Judge Kimball and fined $500. Mr..
Massie, cflthe Prisoners Aid Society,
succeeded in getting the judge to reduce
the fine to $50, and to make UP this sum
Mr.. Massie paid SIS out of his own
pocket. Banks managed to make up
the remainder.
"a day CIR two later Banks left for
Clarksburg, but before starting for that
city told Mr.. Massie that he would not
outlive the disgrace of being arrested.
Saturday evening last telegram was
received by Mr. Massie that the man
had few hours before dropped dead
in Clarksburg. His family were in this
city, practically destitute. Mr., Massie
made arrangements to have the body
brought here and this was subsequent
ly done, and the burial made in one of
the cemeteries.
Later one-half the fine was RENTED
and used to defray funeral expenses.

CANNIBALlSM.
a Hawaiian Torn to Pieces and
Roasted With Two Sheep.

VANCOUVER, B. c., October GA
story of cannibalism was brought to
Sydney, Australia, just before the sail
ing OF the steamer Aorangi to this port,
by a French steamer. The victim Of the
display Of savagery was native OF
Hawaii named Amaru, who acted as
orderly to the immigration department
at Noumea, in the New Hebrides.
About six months ago Amaru mar
ried a native woman Of Aoba, in the
New Hebrides group, and on passing
that island later on, decided to visit
his wife's tribe. Accordingly the cou-
ple was put off in small boat. A few
weeks ago when the steamer called for
them it was learned that Amaru fell
into hands Of a savage tribe of natives
who. after torturing him, tore him to
pieces and then roasted him with two
sheep.
The matter has been reported to
British man-of-war.

price after consultation, and about ESQ.,
900 tons fairly divided between eastern
and western works were sold. For
their protection the great companies
bought billets in large quantities. for
which it is said S35 was paid by some,
and of Bessemer pig nearly 200 ,000
tons, the Federal Steel Company taking
10000 and Pittsburg works taking adj
vantage OF old options Other large
rail contracts are expected soon, tspe
cielly those OF the Pennsylvania. Plate
works seem TO be gaining little if any
on their orders, and bar mills are as
crowded as ever, while the renewal of
efforts for consolidation of sheet mills
cause more active buying. But while
Bessemer pig rose Is cents and grey
forge at Pittsburg declined so cents,
finished products were not changed, ex-
cepting another rise OF 10 cents per key
in cut nails, and there is reported some
disposition TO hold back orders because
of the general rise in prices.

by the rise in material. 1t seems still
uncertain what form of consolidation,
if any, will be adopted by the Fall
River concerns.
After advancing about two cents,
wheat declined sharply, uncertainty in
the Transvaal being used by specula-
tors as excuse for the fiuctuation. The
closing price is unchanged, with Allan
tic exports of 1852, 600 bushels. -four in
cluded, against S,2S4,5 last year, and
Pacific exports of 397 ,052 bushels,
against 702,414 last year. When it is
noted that corn exports were also e.
992, 232 bushels for the week, against
1881 ,002 last year, the price rising one
cent, it seems not strange that wheat
continues firm, and western receipts
have been for the week only 6.644,113
bushels, against 1883, 1853 last year.
The merchandise exports from New
York have been in four weeks $31, 202,-
622 in value, against $32,748,494 last
year, which, with the increase in man
ufactured exports and in cotton exports
from other points, insures an enormous
outgo for September, while the in
crease in imports at New York has been
about $9,5O0,000 in value, apparently
not enough to reduce the excess of ex-
ports for the month below S30000000

CHICAGO, October 6-Irresponsive
cables, big crop estimate by Snow and
the letting go OF wheat by st. Louis
were the permanent factors in a de-
cline in wheat to-day, December and
May closing 7sQ1c under yesterday.
Corn was firm with Liverpool closing
1S@1SAc up. Oats were steady, clos
ing unchanged to shade lower Pro-
visions showed Insignificant closing
changes.
Wheat was weak at the opening,
Liverpool failed to show the advance
expected in view of the war rumors,
and the effect was discouraging to the
bulls. The market opened 1sc under
yesterdays close. December at 1910
1850 and May at 76A@763sc. Re
ports of large Argentine shipments
were also an influence tending to
weaken the market. An increase of
100000 bushels in these stocks at
Minneapolis and Duluth was reported
and Snow, in his report, estimated the
crop of wheat at $4,000, considerably
over the government estimate. With
these bearish items longs began to I'M
load on the market and the price stead
lily declined. ST. Louis, which for some
had been a strong support to the local
market, let go of a long line. Less i'm
portant liquidation was done by local
and other outside traders. December
declined to 721ac.. There was some
covering by shorts at the decline and
this and buying against puts caused
a reaction in December TO 72%c But
the liquidation was too general for the
market to stand up under and Deem
Der again declined to 72b6729sc, at
which it closed. May wheat ranged at

Stocks-With the exception of some
proft-taking sales in the last hour of
tO-day's market, the movement of
prices was upward at most without in
terruption. The demand was not large
at any time, but the supply of stocks
proved small even at the higher prices
except in a few cases, notably Southern
Pacific, which met large offerings at SO.
The late break was lead by Brooklyn
Transit, which was pressed down under
flood of offerings to 81, an extreme
decline of 35sc. The proft-taking
which was induced by this weakness
was most conspicuous in Sugar and
Tobacco, which lost nearly points
each of the extreme advance. The mi
tial impulse to the rise came from Lon
don, where the easier money conditions
and hope that peaceful settlement
of the Transvaal difficulty is still pos
sible, induced large covering by the
bears in all departments. London
bought stocks here to the extent of up
wards Of $4,000 shares and showed a
special desire for Louisville, which led
the active railroad list with net adj
vance of Ia after an extreme raise of

cent in the late dealings This pro-
gressive decline in the money rate was
an important element in the strength
of stocks and awakened expectations OF
a good bank statement tomorrow.
The expectation seemed to be based on
the fact that the banks are known to
have received S2,000,000 in gold, ON
account of postoffice receipts from Cuba
and drafts from the San Francisco mint
on account of Klondike gold deposited
there. The gold engaged last week in
London also figures in the expectations
of SPECTATORS, though it will not be
received until tomorrow and will not
figure in to-morrow's bank statement.
As matter of fact, the New York
banks have lost on the interior move
ment, SO far as known movements are
concerned, about $3,000,0G0. Opera
tons with the sub-treasury indicate a
further loss by the banks of S2,Sbl 200.
allowing for the $2,000,000 gold receiv-
ed, the net loss in cash to the banks
seems to be upwards of $3,500,00O. The
result may be complicated by the effect
of money spent here by the visitors to
the Dewey celebration, which is an I'M
known quantity. The easier rates OF
money are largely due to offerings on
account of outside banks, which will be
Of no advantage to the New York banks
in their weakly showing. The relaxa-
ton in London discount rates to-day
resulted in a decline in sterling ex-
change at Paris and Berlin. In strong
contrast was the sharp advance in the
sterling exchange rate here. This is
said to be due to covering by exchange
bankers, who have sold bills in antlcl-
patton. Of large outward movement Of
cotton and grain. The chartering OF
large number Of vessels by the British
government to transport troops and the
resulting rise in rates for shipping
awakened a feeling that shipments OF
merchandise may be hampered.
The bond market continued firm but
the movement in prices was upward.
Total sales par value $1,550000. United
