Word was received in Pittsburg to-

Company relative to its participation in
the great steel combination, have been
brought to a close, satisfactory to the
promoters, ]. P. Morgan & Co, and the
directory of the Wire Company. So
far as the Moore interests are con-
cerned, such progress has not been
made. There is still a wide variation
between the figures of the two sides,
but the promoters have issued an ulti-
matum, which, if the Moore concerns
accept, will be the basis on which they
will be included, but if they refuse they
will be omitted from the combination
entirely or go in on a new basis at
some later time.
1T is understood that the securities
of CHe new company will be introduced

NEW YORK, February 22.-Develop-

~solidation, but though the offices of al
most all the men connected with the
deal were closed, the lawyers in charge
of the negotiations came down town
and were reported to be in conference.
They made no announcement as to the
matters under discussion.
The charter, though everything was
declared to be ready, was not fled yes
terday at Trenton, as had been expect
ed by many, and the Secretary of
States Office was reported to be closed
to-day. The incorporation tax to be
paid on the amounts of authorized
stock at the time of filing will amount
to 5000 on every 81, 900, 900 worth of
stock. On a basis of $500, 000, 900 capt.
talization the tax would be $160, 900.
This would be a clear loss to the pro-
motors if the deal failed to be carried
through unless there were compensa-
tons in indirect ways.

Marriage Customs In Sumatra.

Women do not have a bad time Of
it, on the whole, in the island of ST.
matra. The husband settles a mar
rage portion on his wife when he mar
RES her. He is a liberty to get q sep
aration from her if he wishes it.. but
IN that case he is bound to give her
her marriage portion and any property
which she may have brought into the
marriage contract untouched. The wife
does not live in the same house as her
husband, but has separate establish
ment, at which her husband visits her
every evening. If there are children
says a writer in the March number Of
Womanhood, the boys are taken aWav
from their mother, and live with The
father from their fourth birthday. The
girls live with their mother till their
marriage, which takes place at a yerv
early age. When the daughters marry
a small house is built adjoining the
mothers house, in which they live. If
a woman is left a widow, immediately
after her husbands death she plants a
Flagstaff at her door, upon which a flag
is raised. So long as the flag remains
uniform by the wind, the etiquette Of
Sumatra forbids her to marry, but at
the first rent, however tiny, she can
lay aside her weeds and accept the drst
offer she has. :, .si II.

promises to be used by the judicious
TO scare children into good behavior.
& For how much Of what we have dis
approved in German doings in China
he is really responsible it is not pos
'sible to say, but until he went to Chi
ma he was regarded as one OF the mos
civil and respectable persons in En-
rope. Gen. Wilson, who saw him ii
China, was most agreeably Impressed

The Blue Jay.

: The blue jay is quite common
throughout the year, it's number being
somewhat decreased during the winter
season. During nesting time the jay
is forced to be an Industrious hunter Of
insects. After family cares are over
he roams the country, making himself
conspicuous in many ways. This bird
has been accused Of robbing other
BIRDS nests and killing their young.
Corn is the favorite grain of the blue
jay, and an examination of number
of stomachs during different months
revealed the fact that they ate most
of their, corn during i the first five
months of the year, cleaning it from
the waste of the field, or perchance i'm
pudently taking a few grains from a
crack in the crib. Their chief food
during the fall is acorns and other
mast. The results Of these stomach
examinations show that the jay eats
many injurious insects, takes but little
corn, except waste grain; that it's rob-
hing habits have been greatly. exag-
gerated, that it does little harm to
agriculture and great deal Of good
