This mornings stock market was irreg-
U!ar but fairly strong. Not much activity
was shown, BUSINESS being for the most
part professional, as IL has been for many
days past. TO.aceo and Sugar recovered
somewhat from their depression of yester-
day before noon, and this had a good ef-
feet CD the general market. The iTregu-
larijy and the profess siOnalism of the mar
ket are both 10 be expected. The public
refuses 10 buy stocks and the advances
are almost entirely on covering OF shorts
the result being that as soon as the great
pressure Of short covering is exhausted
there is again tendency TO sag. There
are number Of things that might change
this situation London shows a strong
disposition TO invest heavily in this mar
ket, and the fall of Pretoria might cause
a general boom. Any important concerted
buying movement on this side. either in
duced by London or not would have the
same effect 1t may be said that while
for the moment the outlook is not par
ticulariy bright for a boom. the best in
formed people look for higher prices be-
tween now and the political conventions.
Money continues easy, and the bank state
ment will be 4 good one. Despite the gold
shipments yesterday, the banks have
gained from the sub-treasury this week.
They have also gained heavily from the

Fought by a Drowning Man.

WILLIAMSPORT. Pa, May 1S.-I. J. Nc
Collum, blacksmith, out of work, who
says his home is in Philadelphia, male a
desperate attempt at suicide here last
evening. Near the middle Of the river he
Ieaped from a boat into deep water. Harry
Heller saw him dive. and rowed to the
spot He seized McCollum by the feet,
but McCollum held fast TO a sunken bridge
iron. Clarence Bauperlaud then went TO
the assistance Of Heller, and together tleJ
pulled McCollum TO the surface and into
shallow water. Here McCollum fought like
a fiend, and it required the sire myth of both
men to prevent him from finging himself
into deep water again.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The Stock Markc [
opened With the dealings in light volume
and with declines appearing Throughout
virtually the entire list. The tendency OF
the market was to some extent a reflection
Of the London market where declines were
common. without anything in the way Of
news being reported in the early cables 90
account for the weakness there.
After opening materially lower, however,
the market developed steadiness IL the
subsequent dealings and many of the ear
lier losses were wholly or in part reeov-
cred.
Consolidated Gas was a notably firm
feature of the market throughout and the
advance there was attended by renewed
reports OF the successful progress making
toward a settlement of the trade Difficult
ties.
Burlington and Quincy was the strong
est feature OF the granger stocks and the
declines in the other members of that
group were limited. Southern Pacific and
Missouri Pacific opened at further declines
but subsequently rallied. This morning S
newspapers contained coBiirmatory infor-
nation regarding the recently rumored or
ganiZatiOn Of a competing company. Sugar
Refining was also active and heavy. 4
moderate amount of support was evident
IN Federal Steel and the other of the steel
industrials.
Aside from the tendency of the London
market the mornings situation comprised
nothing new with any particular bearing
on the market.

A FlSH-CATCHING FISH.

NE Has a Mouth One-third the Size
of His Body.
Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
paradox. The fishing fish is never
theless a reality and stern one to all
that approach those awful jaws Of his.
With body the color of mud he gen.
on the bottom of the sea, waiting mo-
tionless for the approach Of his prey.
He Is provided with an odd kind of fin
Just over the mouth and this is held
out in front of him to give warning of
the coming of something to be swal-
lowed. One taken alive was expert
mented on, and it was found that If
this projecting fin was touched with a
stick, even though the stick did not
come near the mouth, the jaws closed
convulsively. This shows that the fin,
by some provision Of nature, closes the
jaws as soon as it Is touched.
The mouth Is tremendous, growing
to the width of foot when the whole
fish Is only three feet long. One of
these anglers was caught not long
since, and, though it was only % inches
long, fish 10 inches long was found
sticking in its throat. The angler is
provided with peculiar teeth set in
double or treble rows along the jaws
and at the entrance of the throat
Some Of these teeth are a foot long.
He Is not pretty fish to look at, but
he attends strictly to business and will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether it is meant for
food or not.
All kinds of things have been found
in the stomachs of anglers, from bits
of lead and stone to fish almost as large
as the angler itself. This is without
doubt one Of the most peculiar and in
teresting fish in the whole ocean.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Cards are not played as much on
the cars as they used to be-" said the
commercial traveller. "a few years
ago it was common sight to see three
or four games, whist, euchre, poker or
seven up, going on in car, and wher-
ever four or five drummers were gath
cred together there was sure to be
lively game of draw in progress. Sub
urban trains were turned into whist
clubs, and morning and night the COM
muters were engaged in rubber.
"But all this has been changed. Now
adays it is the hardest thing in the
world to get up game of any kind in
train. Ask stranger if he would. like
to take hand at whist or euchre, and
he will freeze you with suspicious
look And, what is worse, he is entire
ly justified in his suspicious.
'In the last ten years the railroads of
this country have been the harvest for
gamblers, bunko men and short card
experts. They have worked the field to
the limit, from New York to California
and from Vermont to Florida. They
have worked all kinds of fiimfiam
games, until now it Is almost impossi-
BILE for a man to fash deck of cards
in the smoking compartment of Pull
man without the atmosphere growing
dozen degrees colder A man who has
been bitten once doesn't care to have
the experience repeated. "-Rochester
Post-Express.

Most kinds of clay contain consid-
cradle proportion of iron. The red col
or of bricks. for example, is due to the
presence of oxides of iron. Whenever
an object nodded of clay Is baked at
the temperature of the potter's furnace
in the presence of magnetic field or
influence, the otherwise homogeneous
clay shows when cooled traces of mag
netism in a definite direction. This In
herent magnetism is sufficient to show
the direction and give an idea as to the
intensity of the magnetizing force that
acted while the clay was in the fur
mace.
This peculiar property has been used
to solve some questions of great inter-
est to scientific people in general. An
accurate knowledge Of the direction of
the earth's magnetic force in early his
torical times has been deduced by sew
eral Italian physicists from study Of
the traces of magnetism shown by Etru-
rian vases and other objects of clay
exhumed from old tombs. The con-
clusion reached is that the direction of
the earth's magnetic field has varied
very greatly in the 5000 or 5000 years
represented by the age of the objects
examined

"At Harpers Ferry on one occasion
the food in the Potomac was SO great
that it threatened the destruction of
the costly railroad bridge, which was
seen to shake in it's unsteadiness," said
former Governor Thomas G. Jones.
'sWhen everybody present was looking
each moment to see the bridge go
down, President John w. Garrett of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad arriv-
ed upon the scene. Approaching the
necessity of instant action, he gave an
abrupt order for a loaded train of
freight cars standing on a side track to
be run with the locomotive on to the
bridge and kept there.
but, Mr. Garrett, that Is train
load of silk said the local superintend-
ent.
"T don't care; run out the cars?
commanded the great master of rail-
roads. 1T would be easier to pay for
the silk than to build new bridge
"The silk train was run on to the
bridge, and the structure was saved.
The silk was being sent by rail across
the continent from San Francisco, at
which port it had been received from
China and Japan. Garrett was great
man, one of the greatest of those who
have aided in the material development
of America. In emergencies he was
very resourceful, as was demonstrated
in perhaps small way by the Har-
pers Ferry incident" = Birmingham

A Hint to Letter writer's.

The practice of writing private let
tiers from the first to the third page Of
letter sheet and then going back to
the second page is matter of taste,
but it will not do to follow that course
of procedure in writing legal docu-
ments
The New York courts have disallow-
ed the provisions of a will written in
this way. The testator wrote the will
on three sides Of a folded paper, COM
mencing on the first page and continu-
ing on the third page, at the top Of
which was written second page" and
completing and signing the instrument
ON page marked third page" which,
in fact, was the second page Of the
sheet.
The court held that the will was not
signed at the physical end, as required
by the statute. The law does not con-
template going backward in order to
get forward, and the will was refused
probate. The New York court of ap-
peals sustained the decision throwing
out this form of will.-Boston Herald.

The Tamahac or Tomahawk.

Tamahac eventually came to desig-
nate the "war Ratchet" Of the Indian,
supplied by the military commanders
OF the whole continent in equipping the
warriors on the many expeditions in
which French and English were con-
stantly engaged, and was furnished
the Indian allies of the English in our
war Of independence.
This weapon was either in the form
of spear or Ratchet blade on one side,
while upon the opposite side there was
O cuplike cavity, with small hole ex-
tending into the eye of the weapon, in
to which a tough handle Of wood was
fitted Is inches or two feet in length.
The handle was perforated almost its
entire length, and below the hollow Of
the bowl 1t was bored at right angles
to this perforation, suitable stemhole
for the passage Of the tobacco smoke
when the implement was In use as a
pipe.
The tomahawk pipe was not only at
tractive and popular in trade, but, ike
the earlier trade pipe, was given as
present at councils and ratif1cations of
treaties. 1t was a pipe, Ratchet and
q mace or hammer all in one and an
swered an important military require
ment in lessening the weight and in
cumbrance of the warrior, who other
wise would have tenaciously held to
the stone pipe, which in itself was
heavier than the tomahawk. = Smith

A DEAL IN WHISKY.

Whe Profits Were Not So Large m
the Buyers Expected.
"There are tricks In the whisky busi-
ness as well as In Others" said the
drummer for a large compromising
house, '.and remember once how the
firm was with got stuck. One day a
man. drove up In one horse wagon
carrying one barrel of whisky, which
he wanted to sell. He told us some
kind of story about an old uncle dy-
ing and leaving 1t to him; but, as he
couldn't afford to use as good liquor as
It was, he had concluded to sell 1T.
'sWe took the barrel into the house,
and, prying out the bung, we slipped In
the siphen and drew off a glass of 1t to
sample. And it was fine. The barrel
showed age, and the liquor tasted It.
1t was worth $40 a gallon If 1t was
worth cent, but we didn't give the
man any such pointers. We knew by
the weight that there were at least 40
gallons of it, and we made him an Of
fer of $3.50 for the barrel. He higgled
awhile, but took the money at last and
drove away.
"In the course of couple Of weeks
we concluded to put that whisky in
bottles and sell 1t as case goods, so we
set the siphon to work at the bung and
began to draw it off. After the fourth
bottle had been drawn the siphon re-
fused to work, and we examined it to
find what was wrong. We could not
get at it that way, and, as the contents
seemed to be all right, we set the bar
rel on end and bored another hole in 1t.
Then the siphon worked, but the liquor
was much paler, and one of the men
tasted it. BY George, it wasn't whisky
at ALL It was only water, colored
somewhat from the charred inside Of
the barrel.
"That scared us, and we smashed the
head In to see what was inside, and we
saw in q minute. The willy cuss had
filed a can with fine old whisky to the
bung where we made the examination
before purchasing, and when that had
been emptied the whole story had been
told. He had probably paid So for the
gallon to fill the can, and we. sold it for
$3.50 a bottle, but we didn't get q
blamed cent for the 80 gallons, more or
less, of water that filed the rest OF the
barrel" Washington Star.
