One piece of advice that never comes
amiss is not to get too enthusiastic. The
market of the past few days is an illustra-
ton of this that may have been
somewhat unpleasant TO many. Prices
advanced steadily for three or four
days, and on every side there We're
predictions that the big boom had ar
rived and that the great upward march of
prices to the highest levels yet seen in the
stock market would not in the future be in
terrupted. Notwithstanding this there was
an interruption and still is one. During
the present week the tendency OF prices
has been downward, though not in an
alarming fashion by any means, and not
| in all securities. At the same time the
| dullness of these four days and the fact
that the grangers and other standard issues
have sold off point or more each is a
very different condition of things from the
] big business and the rapid advances OF last
week. The careful observers of the situa-
tion are still of the firm belief that the
coming two months will see large advances
| in prices in all good stocks, but there is
nothing in this belief that precludes the
realization that declines may come at any
time and that there NAV be many dull days
before the. public and the leaders combine
energetically to boom prices.

YOUNG EGBERT INSANE.

Father. the General.
James Y. Egbert, of Company D, Twen-
ty-second Infantry, reaches here yesterday
in custody of Capt Mark L. Hessey.
Twelfth Infantry. and was placed in the
Government Hospital for the Insane.
Young Egbert is suffering from melan-
cholia. He is the son of Brig. Gen. James
Y. Egbert, who was killed at Caloscan, Lu-
zon, April 2e last, while leading his regi-
ment, the Twenty-second Infantry, in q
charge against the Philippine insurgents.
At the suggestion of Major General Otis.
President Mckinley appointed young Eg-
bert to a second lieutenantcy in the Army.
He never qualified on account of the rapid
development of the disease from which he
is suffering. His insanity was due TO wor-
ry and dependency over the death of his
father. Young Egbert enlisted as a private
in his fathers regiment and went to Ma
nila with IL. His mother and sister ac-
companied the regiment from the United
States and were at Manila when General
Egbert was killed.
Captain Hessey brought two other in
sane soldiers. Private Adams, of the Fourth
| Infantry, and Private Alkemead, of the
Eighteenth Infantry They were placed In

COTTON MARKET DULL.
Advances in Prices Following
Strength in Liverpool. .aill

lReceived daily by E. A. Bowers & Co., brokers,
Washington Loan and Trust Building.l
New York, Aug. 3.-The idea OF another
large crop is gaining ground and as far as
the present crop situation is concerned
many believe there is reason for lower
prices. Fear of future weather conditions,
however, suffices to check selling 1t is
realized that everything hinges on the
weather for the next ninety days.
Crop accounts through private sources
were excellent. Generally fair weather
prevailed except for heavy rainfall at
Montgomery. The temperature for the
whole cotton belt was 72 to so. The frst
new bale of Louisiana cotton reached New
Orleans today. being sixteen days earlier
than last year. Liverpool was 1-2 to l
point higher for futures and unchanged for
spots, of which 10000 bales were sold.
The market was somewhat dull today,
but the opening was at an advance, and
an absence of selling caused further gains.

tiles advanced buoyantly while the remain
der of the list was stagnant or declining.
Tennessee Coal and Iron went TO 4s and

three points. These two stocks have been
making such a record as only they could

Little is known as TO the plans of the To-

rect analogy to the Zimbabye worship
There we have the same fact. viz, that
the worship took place in the interior.
and that the sacred inclosure was in the
darkest part of the temple
But this ancient Hebrew sacerdotal
rhyme is still more characteristic in
another respect. While in the year
600 B. c., when the First Book
of Kings was written. this solar
worship was still distinctly noticeable
we have the characteristic fact before us
that three hundred years later, when the
Judaic religion was far more advanced
and refined and already in it's highest
moral development. the CHRONICLES" were
written. which are, as is we'll known.
more or less modified copy of the Book
of Kings. And there we notice that the
first verse of the sacerdotal rhyme lust
mentioned is suppressed and that also the
reference to the dwelling of Jahweh Is
modified. This is in complete accordance
with the enormous progress of the Judaic
religion in the direction of the exalted
monotheism which chare cterizes it.
From what 1 have said, we see that.
like many other indications belonging to
the same period, the archaic and unde-
veloped Semitic worship of the Israelites
was in close connection with the solar
worship of other members of the great
Semitic family, including Phoenicians,
Assyrians, Babylonians, etc. The analogy
becomes still more interesting to those
who believe in Professor Wellhausen's 8
interesting theory. who is of opinion that
before the detailed Judaic code of worship
