A well-known local character, who never had a cent of money that any one knew about, and whose sole ob- ject in life appeared to be the ac- cumulation of liquid refreshments, recently approached a candidate for office, and in his rich Irish brogue, supported with fair quality of ''jag,' ? remarked:sa :sa

 Here he leaned over to one of 'Jimnic's" ears and whispered mys- terious1y:

The s1owness of the market the past few weeks is thus accounted for by Henry Clews in his weekly letter: The stock market has been enjoying a peri cd of comparative rest and recupera- tion since the bull revels of last May. Such period was desirable and has certainly been healthful How long 1t will last cannot be foretold, for we are entering upon the season of summer quiet when absenteeism is usually an effective hindrance to great activity. The present market, however, is not governed by precedents. conditions be ing so exceptional as to defy the usual methods of Judgment In considering the future, therefore, we must accept these conditions as we find them, and, while keeping history and precedents in mind, not be ruled by these too rig idly until the forces which interfere have exercised their sway. In the long run, natural conditions will assert themselves, but just now the market is largely influenced by a set of events that require close watching; so that while indications just now are for a good trading market during the next sixty days, sudden outbursts of actiyi- v need cause no surprise.

THE BRAINLEss MONKEY.
Interesting Scientfnc Experiment Shows the EEeot of Loss os
 Gray Matter.

No convincing proof has yet been given that any particular portion of the brain is exclusively concerned in intellectual operations, says Prof. c. N. Stewart, in Popular Science Month ly. Goltz, the most prominent repre- sentative of the dwindling band who still refuse to believe in the localizas ton even of the motor functions, has lately published an interesting paper containing the results of observations on a monkey which was carefully watched for II years after the removal of the greater part of the gray matter of the middle and interior portions of the left hemisphere of the brain. The character of the animal, whose little tricks and peculiarities had been studied for months before the opera ton, was entirely unaffected. All it's traits remained unaltered. On the other hand, disturbances of move ment on the right side we're very mo- ticeable up to the time of it's death. It learned again to use the right limbs, but there was always certain clumsi- ness in their movements. Tn actions requiring only one hand, the right was never willingly employed, and it ,evi- dently cost the animal 2 great effcrt to use it. Before the operation 1t would give either the right or left hand when aHked for it. Alter the operation it always gave the left, till by long course of training, in which fruit of Jumps of sugar served as the rewards of virtue, it learned again to give the right.

It is not often that a president does thing that p1eases every body, but MT Mckinley came very near doing it when be announced that he would not be a candidate for a third term. The sum and substance of the sentiments ex- pressed by men of all political parties is that the country owes the president a debt of gratitude for saving 1t from such three-year third-term discussion as that which the people went through in the late seventies, when Generai Grant was being pushed for a third term, and when enmities were aroused which lasted for years There is not the slightest doubt that the sentiment of the country is now. as it always has been, overwhelmingly opposed to a third term for any president.

NEW WAY TO CLOSE WOUNDS.
An Invention That Causes No Pain and Performs the Work
 ExpeditiousIy.

A novel and most useful instrument has been invented by Dr. Paul Michel, a well-known, French phy ysician. With t wounds on body can be stitched effectively, quickly and without caus- ing any pain to the patient. Hereto fore wounds were stitched by hand, and this operation was not only some what dangerous and slow, but also de- cidedly painful, says the St. Louis Re- public.
 The new instrument consists of a forceps or pinchsrs, and of case or sheath, which contains number of nickel hooks or bands somewhat simi- lar to those which are frequently seen slight pressure suEces to free these hooks from the sheath, and within one minute between 20 and 30 of them can be placed on a wound in such a manner that they will effectively close it. The reason why they cause no pain is because their tiny rounded points only penetrate the epidermis, and not the lower layer of skin. Other advantages which they possess are that they can be easily disinfected, that it is no trouble to remove them from the skin after the wound is healed, and that they leave hardly any trace of scar.
 Dr. Michel has received congratula- tions from the most distinguished European physicians, and his instru- nent is being rapidly introduced into leading hospitals.

Richest Nation in the World.

The richest nation in the N or1d pro- portionate1y Is not Great Britain, not fat little Holland, not even the United States.

FAMOUS LONDON BANK.
Depository for Money That Has Figured in English Romance
 and History.

If Londoners have any real senti- ment to waste it should rather be directed toward the approaching demolition of the tims-honored though drowning and repellsnt front- age of Coutts' bank. The name of it csnjures up the thoughts of heaps of gold second only in size and anapli- tude to those of tho Bank of England. Is not Coutts' tho largest private bank in England, and has it net 8 more extensive connection than any other with the mobility and landed gentry?" To possess "a snug bank ing account at Coutts' has been the stock synonym for riches with all the noveists of the nineteenth century, says the London Telegraph.
 Great George our King" opened an account with the shrewd old Scotch man who not only founded bank, but founded a family by marrying each of his three daughters to men of title. The duke of Wellington was another of his most famous clients, and Dr. Johnson and Sir Wall ter Scott banked their moneys in his keeping. The history of such an in stitution, could it ever be written, would be far more interesting than any romance.
 It is understood that the building will not be wholly destroyed, and the most notable features of the interior will, of course, be preserved. These include costly marble chimney pieces of the 1dorid Cipriani school and a valuable collection of portraits of the friends of the founder of the bank, while the dining-room is described as being hung with Chinese subjects on papers which were sent to Mr. Coutts by Lord Mccartney while on his embassy to China in 1792-95."

THREE YEARS HENCE.

When Editor Morss of Indianapolis recently advised his fellow-democrats to head their next national ticket with the name of Melville W. Fuller, we mentioned that in 1904 the chief justice will be Fl years old. Nothing has been heard of the Indianapolis suggestion since.
 Yesterday Editor Hearst of New York published in his newspaper oGr- toon Uucle Sam is seen standing on the steps. Over the door behind him is big sign: Presidential Baby Show for 1904" In front of him are a crowd of women (Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, etc) with babies in their arms. The babies are labeled. Uncle Sam is shooing the women away. You're altogether too early, ladies'" he says. ''The show doesn't open for a good while yet"
 That's so; it doesn't. But let us take the names of the labeled babies" in the cartoon, look up the dates in the biographical dictionaries. and see what we find. When the republican national committee meets, three years from this summer, to pick out the next president, Shelby M. Cullom will be 75; John C.. Spooner will be 61; Charles w Fair banks will be 52; Marcus A. Hanna will be 67; Joseph B. Foraker will be 58; William H. Taft will be AT; Theodore Roosevelt will be 46; Benjamin B. Odell jr, will be 50; Orville H. Platt will be 77, and Henry Cabot Lodge will be 54.
 Thus far no man over 70 has been elected to the presidency, and only five men over 60-John Adams 62, An drew Jackson 62, William Henry Har- rison 68, Zachary Taylor 65, James Buchanan 66. President Washington was 57 when inaugurated; Jefferson was 5S, Madison 5S, Monroe 59, John Quincy Adams 5s, Van Buren 55, Polk 30, Pierce 49, Lincoln 52, Grant AT, Hayes 54, Garfield 49, Cleveland AS, Benjamin Harrison 55, and William Mckinley 53-Hartford Courant.

An Efghteen-Howr Recitation.

Prof. ArliHi, of Naples, has just per formed remarkable feat. Some time ago he offered to make bet that he could recite the whole of Dante's Divine Comedy" by heart. His abil- ity to do this was doubted, and his wager was taken up. A select au- dfence was invited to hear the pro- lessor, who acclaimed from eight o'clock in the evening until two o'clock the next afternoon. The re- citer stopped occasionally, but it was not because he had forgotten the poem; it was simply to moisten his tongue with sugared water. He won hs wager, for the audience had to confess that be got through the 15,oo0 verses, more or less, of which the poem is composed, without the least niflculty.

The labor organizations are already at work preparing petitions to congress for the re-enactment of the Chinese ex- clusion law, which will elapse next year, at the coming session of.congress, and their leaders are anticipating a hard fight. Speaking of what the Knights of Labor are doing in that di- rection and of the prospects for sue cess, John ". Hayes, secretary of that organization, said: We have already sent out 100000 copies of the appeal of the San Francisco local assembly, ask ing for re-enactment off the exclusion law upon the ground that if such ac- ton is not taken, the tide of Chinese immigration will sweep upon us. have no doubt that we will be able to get the re-enactment through the house, even though the administration may not favor such policy. because the next congress meets on the eve of a congressional election, and the mem- bers will respect the position of the workingmen of the country. Whether we will be so fortunate in the senate is, to my mind, an uncertain matter. I am afraid that the administration will want some legislation for the Philip pines, and its representatives in the senate will hold up the Chinese exclu- sion law until an agreement is reached to give them the Philippine legislation they desire. I may be wrong, and I hope will be, in my anticipation, but, at any rate, look forward to a de termined contest. In the end, however, we must win" Assistant Secretary Taylor of the treasury, who has charge of immigration affairs, expresses the opinion that congress will re-enact the exclusion law. The Federation of Labor and the International Association of Machinists are also actively in the fight for orre-enactment.

BOER AND BRITON.

LONDON. November 13.-Mr. Brod-
rick the British War Secretary, speak
ing tonight at a banquet given in Lon
don in his honor by the city Carlton
Club. declared that the Beers were hid
ing their tracks by numbering the
KafIirs behind them.
Lord Kitchener wired today, he con-
tinued. that the cold blooded murder of
natives had become frequent of late,
and that two dead natives, their hands
tied behind their backs, were found on
November 10th at the bottom of a mine
shaft.
Later in his speech Broderick said
Great Britain has now $4,000 Beers in
custody in the Capitalization camps and
on various islands, and that II, 900 more
had been killed or wounded or had left
the country on parole. He added that
he believed the number of Beers now in
the field was about 10000
THE country has set it's teeth, and in
tends to go through the process of
wearing them down." he exclaimed.
I'VE intend to provide Lord Kitchener
with fresh troops to replace the tired
ones. Only today certain colony made
an offer to help"
Broderick said he was sorry anything
had happened to affect the career of Sir
Redvers Butler, and he assured the
company that the deafness of Sir Eve
Ign Wood was not a bar to the work
that officer had to do as commander of
an army corps.
The War Secretary declared that nei-
Their Sir Evelyn Wood nor the Duke of
COnnaught was to be regarded as
peace General, because wherever their
army corps went they also would go.
He further announced that Sir Archl-
bald Hunter would be appointed to the
command of another army corps when
this was formed.
Brodrick explained that four battal-
lions and two cavalry regiments would

HIS ASSOCIATION WITH COLONEL
BAIRD.
First Met Him When Both Were on
the Way to Hawaii-Words of Eu-
logy.

In adjournng the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday i'm honor of the
late Colonel j. G. Baird, Judge Estee
spoke as follows:
1T was with the most profound re-
gret that l learned by the last steamer
of the death of Colonel J. G. Baird,
United States District Attorney.
Il knew very little of Colonel Baird
until we started together on the
steamer for this Territory. Since then
an association of the most intimate
character was formed, and continued
until he left for his home and | can
truthfully say | have rarely met a
man who possessed such lovable quail
ties of both head and heart.
He enjoyed a varied learning out
side of his profession, but in his pro-
fession he was a lawyer of peculiar
ability. He had a remarkable memory
and thus his mind became a storehOuse
of legal knowledge. He was not one
of those aggressive members of our
profession whose voice is heard before
his influence is felt, and so he did
not readily make acquaintance even
with the Bar. He was modest and un-
assuming, and as gentle as woman;
but in the path of duty he was fearless
of consequences. Those who knew him
best loved him most and no one was
his friend who was not proud of that
friendship. He was most kindly
man. The spirit of fairness animated
his professional life, and whatever
may have been his opinion of a wrong
he never harbored i'll feelings of the
wrong doer.
He was industrious to a fault and
after his illness became serious he yet
would not realize that he was too i'll
to work and when ordered home by
his physician, he did not want to
leave.
Colonel Baird maintained always
the courage of his convictions and in
all matters relating to his public duties
he had an honest conviction. He tried
to find out what was right and then
he did the right with all his might.
His death has left vacancy at TINS
Bar which will be most difficult to fill"
