Most Deadly of Diseases.
Under the conditions obtaining In the
Orient, the bubonie plague is the most
sirulent and deadly of diseases. The
symptoms manifest themselves In from
twelve hours to twelve days after the
system absorbs the disease; the usual
period being about four days. At first
the patient complains of high fever,
swelling OF the glands of the thigh and
groin. and sometimes of the neck. and

MAKING IT MATCH.
BIOndfning a Miniature to Render It
True to Life

Washington Post
There is a wealthy woman here in town
who has recently married for the second
time. During the lifetime of her first
husband she was generally considered a
rather plain looking woman. Her COM
plexion was q trifle sallow, and her hair
was of no particular color at all. 1t was
at this period that an artist painted a
miniature of her. A few months later
the husband died. Inside of a year a
good angel in the shape of a hairdresser
had suggested to the widow the simple
expedient of shampooing her dull tresses
with ordinary laundry soap, which, as
nearly every mahogany-h woman
knows, never fails to bring out the most
delightful Titan tints. The widow went
from red brown hair to red gold hair,
and finally to a color very nearly faxen.
She patronized mysterious persons who
gave her roses-and-cream complexion.
and then just last summer she bestowed
her blonde and beautiful self on second
husband A few weeks ago she came TO
the artist with the miniature.
81 wish you'd touch this up a little for
me-" she said. ~ want 1t to be splendid
likeness, for I'm going to have 1t reset
and give 1t to my husband as a Christmas
present. 1t used to look so much like
me, but it doesn't now. Don't you think
doesn't it seem to you-that the color
you used or my hair there has faded, or
turned dark, or something? Couldn't you
-well'-and CLEAN of frankness came
into her happy eyes-"won't you just
simply blondine that miniature to match
me? l don't want my husband to know
that my hair was any other color than 1t
is right now. Won't you, please?'
So the miniature has been duly and
properly and most beautifully blondined
to match the lady.

STOCKS sTAGNANT.
Market Saturday Proved an Enigma
to Spectators.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The market in
stocks continues an enigma which any
ordinary rules of Interpretation are I'M
awaiting to solve. Yesterdays buying of
stocks was prompted by the expectation
of a favorable bank statement. The
statement proved more favorable than
the most sanguine expectations, yet the
market lost even the small animation it
had been showing when the statement
appeared on the tape.
The net changes in prices are without
significance, those Of any amount being
restricted to insignificant stocks. London
reported firm and confident market, but
the confidence did not extend to the
point of holding American stocks up to
parity level, and the opening here was
the utter Indifference manifested to the
any upward impetus from London, and
bank statement offered a poor market in
which to realize, or selling by yester-
days buyers might have been larger in
the absence of demand. They seemed
satisfied to keep their holdings, but there
was no inclination TO add to them.
The bank statement fully reflected the
expected ref1uX of unemployed funds to
New York, the total gain in cash being
no less than $11 ,536, 600. 1t was not sus-
pected that employment for these funds
had been found to as large an extent as
indicated by the loan expansion of ST.

The wheat market took a downward
turn at the opening of the week closed
Saturday. and there seemed no end to
the slump, which, though not great, each
day was steady, and caused the bull ele-
ment no little anxiety. 1t was not until
Friday that the dealers who take the
hopeful side of the situation were given
a. ray of hope, and, then the relief was
toe, slight to be entirely satisfactory. A
continuation of strength Saturday, how
ever, with damage reports and somewhat
improved demand, gave the bulls d
breathing spell, and the addition Oh a
quarter Of a cent to prices during the
Saturday session was most acceptable.
The bears are not in the least dlSmayed
and are prepared to follow their course
asserting that wheat will again recede.
The present week promises developments
that will show which side of the market
is to win out in the guessing contest, Tor
that is all 1t has seemed to be In regard
to wheat prices of late.
~ CORN AND OATS.
Corn. which has heretofore held its own
as against the onslaughts on wheat, gave
ground the past week and suffered much
in strength as well as in prices. Re-
ports have had little to do with the
movement of corn prices. There mas peeh
a steady absence of Strengthening lea
lures and the export demand has peen
light That is all upon which can be
based a reason for the weakness In that
grain.
oats have been in a listless condition,
and trading has been light all week.
Changes in prices have not been SO ma
terial as in other grains.
STOCKS STAGNANT.
The stock market is in a stagnant state
at present. There is little of the ex-
citing in dealings, but there seems an
utter lack of interest, and this, despite
persistent ease in money. Financial con-
ditions are improving right along. There
is no longer bugaboo of gold expor-
tations to face, and railroad stocks are
holding their own fairly well. Even the
industriaIs have not suffered so greatly as
in previous weeks, but that there is ao-
sence of life to the market is so evident
that it cannot be overlooked.

the classification of various articles and
incidental questions requires and Jusdties
some fair and equitable method OF meet

whereas, The powers of the inter

limited and curtailed by decisions of the
United States supreme court as to re-
duce it to simply body for inquiry and
without effect, its rulings and decisions
cannot be enforced; and,
Whereas, Shippers require an inter

gress to make its decisions respected by
all parties concerned; therefore, be it

MAGAZINE RIFLES
Will Make Wars of the Future a
Mere Matter of Tactics.

New York Sun.
The progress of the South African war
has proved that the modern magazine
rifle is par excellence the weapon of the
future in military operations. Although
the British infantry have proved their
ability to storm unintrenched or partially
intrenched positions, as at Glencoe, Bel
mont and Gras Pan, the repulses at
Magersfontein and the Tugela, where the
Beers had thrown up elaborate intrench-
ments, proved that direct assault on such
positions, when held by such excellent
shots as the Beers, are doomed to failure
The magazine rifle has put a heavy dis
count upon old-time valor, and the war
of the future will be more than ever
war of the tacticians.
