STEEL STOCKS
Were ErTatlc and Caused Weakness In the
Entire List.


BY Associated Press.
New York. Jan. 15.-There was a
very confusing mixture of sentiment
in the stock market today. Steel
stocks proved sensational, their erratic
fluctuations being convincing evidence
of the unsettled mind among steel in
terests. The whole group became
strong later and rose on an average OF
between / and 2 points over last
nights close. Th edeclaration. of an s
per cent dividend on the common
stock of the American Tin Plate Co.
to be distributed in quarterly periods
caused pronounced weakness in the
group. Tin plate itself dropped s
points. The current surmise as to
what dividend should be declared
reached the limit at per cent, so an 3
per cent dividend is far in excess OF
the most sanguine estimate.
After the close of the market a {
per cent dividend was declared on
Steel and Wire. which was forced down
41s and National Steel, Smelling, Steel
Hoop, Colorado Fuel and National
Tube from to points.
Bonds were weak in sympathy with
stocks. U. S. refunding Is declined 1a
per cent and 5s coupon "A Oil certifi
Gates $1.1S.
The total shares traded in numbered
1,211, 300.

vantage of me. You gave me no show.
Can 1 see my mIother?"
A man in the crowd called for his
mother, but she was not there He
then said, "Will you let me shake
hands with all my friends?"
You have no friends in this crowd,
you damned beast" said one of the
men in charge of the negro. "If you
have anything to say, do so in hur-
ry."
Another man then stepped up and
said to Alexander: 'fMake your peace
with your God, niger, for you will
surely die"
Coal oil was then applied for the
second time and while it was being
done, Alexander called to friends in
the crowd and told them good bye He
did not seem to realize that he was to
be burned at the stake and talked rat.

of the murdered girl, lighted the
match. Again Alexander was asked
for confession. but he replied that
he had nothing to say. AS the flames
leaped about him, Alexander turned
gihastly .sale, and for the first time
realized that his death was near. He
clasped his hands together and began
to swing to and fro, while the crowd
yelled. In less than five minutes he
was hanging limp and -lifeless by the
chains that bound him. AS soon as
the crowd saw that life was extinct 1t
began slowly to disperse. There were
hundreds, however, who stayed to the
last, The men kept piling on wood
all the time, until about 7 o'clock.

From to s o'clock there was a con-

to obtain as relics, bits of charred
flesh, bits of chain, scraps of wood

Who was 20 years old, was employed in

were made, but no clue to the criminal

STRIKES IN NEW YORK STATE.
Last Year There Was Total of S47,
the Highest Since the Arbitration
Board Was Established.

There were SAT strikes and lock-
outs in New York state last year. as
shown by the state board of mediation
and arbitration, seven-tenths of which
were occasioned by questions of wages
and hours of labor The number last
year showed an increase over the pre-
ceding year, and reached the highest
total for any year since the state board
was established, although there were
fewer serious labor troubles than usual.
The strikes were divided as follows:
Building trades, ISL; laborers, 169; gar
ment workers. "a; textile workers. 80;
iron workers. "a: tobacco workers. 25.
The board says that few of the above
strikes required the services of the
board, but to the majority of the re-
naming 22s labor disturbances the
board gave attention. The strikers
were successful in 335 cases, either
gaining all they wanted or compromis-
ing. while 212 strikes were unsuccess-
fnl. The question OF wages was respon-
sib!e for 1863 strikes and unionism for
1O4. OF these strikes 1877 lasted day,
173 three days. III from three days to q
week. 6s from week to month. while
16 lasted more than a month.

Larger and Larger-Its

One of our steam contemporaries
calls attention to the fact that an
American manufacturer of rotary
pumps advertises as follows: sour
pumps at work about three miles out
in the country are started and stopped
from the company's city Office, their
operation being ascertained by tel;
ephone. This goes on for days without
any person going near them" There
could, of course. be other electrical
methods of observing the fact that the
motors and pumps were at work, but
the audible indica tion of the telephone
is all right.
There seems to be no end of the du-
ties that can be thrown on the tele-
phone. and each latest suggests new
one. says the Electrical World and En-
gineer. For example. in mill towns, 1t
is now found that calling people up in
the morning by telephone beats the
alarm clock and the perambulating
watchman all hollow. This idea has re-

The Papal IncOme.

A recent letter from Rome in the
Philadelphia Ledger states that the
pope's income for 1900 amounted to
$4,375 900. nearly two-thirds of which
was income for securities and Peters
pence. The expense account of the
holy father for the same year is fig
ured at 81. .O99. 900. of which $4S3 200 rep
resents salaries. The remainder of
the account includes the expense OF
keeping up the vatican, the repairs at
St. Peters, charities. and contingent
expenditures and losses. The most not
able item in this account is the per-
sonal expense of the pope himself
which amounts to $2,5OC, showing that
he lives a simple life. There will be
a balance Of over $3.OOO.OOO to be add
ed to the contingent fund which now
amounts to over $50 900 900. a large part
of which is in American securities
The satisfactory condition Of the pa
pal income shows that Leo XIII. is q
more thrifty man and better fipancier
than his predecessor.

ODD COLLECTION OF HATS.
Exquisite Handicrsft of Weavers of
the Philippine Islands Displayed
In Exhibit at Washington.

There is a collection of Philippine
hats made by DIR. Hodge for the Army
Medical museum and loaned to the
National museum which is attracting
large crowds, as never fails to be the
case with anything from the new pos
sessions. The collection shows the
most exquisite handlcraft of the weav-
ers of the island, not only in the va
rious designs in weaving, but in the
artistic blending of color and other
ornamentation.
Some of the hats are at least two
and half feet in diameter, slightly
convex and having an inner crown to
fit the head, woven of soft and pliable
material, while the outer part is OF
palm leaf in diagonal weaves. Many
of them are most exquisitely wrought,
lighter in weight and much more cost
ly. All have the appearance OF spring
umbrellas and would readily serve as
clothes hampers.
The United States soldiers have a
fancy for wearing these whenever op-
portunity affords. and through them
many valuable acquisitions are made
Two articles that could not be mis-
taken in this country for anything but
beer stems were also sent by Dr.
Hodge. They are of bamboo, about
five inches in diameter, followed out
shaped into spout at the top, while
bent wood handles are deftly bound
at one side with strips of palm leaf
The use of this fiber for general util.
| ity and ornament is shown in deft-
| ly wrought scabbard. so firm as tc
serve the purpose excellently. The
large collection that has been made
under specially appointed agents will
soon be ready for the public inspec'
