Wall street, reflected by these per-
formances. which most needs consider
alton. 1t is, for instance, impossible
to imagine the story of New Jersey
company to own all the railways OF
America as receiving serious attention
from newspaper readers in their full
senses. 1t has plenty of believers to-
day. however.
1t is relief to turn from this series of
warnings in the stock market, to the mag
nifcent showing made elsewhere in Amer
lean finance. Here are the March returns
of railway earnings with gain of 3 per
cent, following successive gains of 1211
per cent. in March last year. of Ga in 1888,
and of 10 in 1885, At hand to-day, Also are
the returns of March exchanges at all
American clearing houses. showing in
crease of no less than 81 per cent. over 1900.
The iron trade, usually a trustworthy in
dex TO general prosperity. continues to ex-
pand under domestic inquiry of almost
unprecedented volume. Wheat exports
reached this week one of the largest week
ly aggregates of the year and the largest
for period in nine years. Except for the
decreased cotton shipments. and the cur
tailed movement of corn as result of the
rampant Chicago speculation, almost all
the traditional induces point TO continued
and expanding prosperity. Whether, in
other markets than those for securities
and corn, speculation for the rise may not
have lately introduced some element of
unreality, isl perhaps an open question.
This certainly happened in the iron mar
ket of 1885, when American production in
creased enormously, and furnace stocks
fell from $4,000 tons in July to $4,000 in
November, on a demand which at first
seemed wholly natural, but half of which
turned out later to be speculation on Dor
rowed money. Except for the episode in
corn, however, there are few signs as yet
of any such commercial disturbances.

A WIDE DISCREPANCY

In the Statistics Regarding the
Population of Rio de JaneirO.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Wide dis
crepancy between the population fig
ures given by the statistical authori-
ties of Rio Janeiro and by the sani-
tary authorities there, is called to the
attention of marine hospital service
in the annual report OF acting assis-
tant surgeon Havelburg at that port.
He says the sanitary authorities make
the present population of Rio 1893 900
while the statistical authorities make
it 431,716. The impression prevails
that Rio has a larger population than
that shown by the census, but not so
large as estimated by the sanitary au-
thorities. The figures of the sanitary
authorities show a total mortality
during 1900 of is per cent against
over 20 per cent the previous year
The number of still births is equiva-
lent to II pei 1000 of the total births.
remarkable showing. The number
of deaths has exceeded the births.
tuberculosis furnished almost one
fifth of the total mortality.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED
Between the Miners and Operators

SPRINGFIELD, MS, April THE
conference between miners. and oper-
ators in the Springfield sub-district
succeeded in reaching an agreement
last night. Despite the assertions or
the operators from day to day that
they would not grant the demands of
the miners, the agreement amounts to
a practical victory for the miners, the
only demand they recede from be-
ing for free oil and cotton for drivers
and other day laborers in the mines.
The price OF oil was made uniform at
fifty cents per gallon. The other rates
fixed by agreement are increased from
old rates.

DIR. Menger says that his own expe-
rienoe and that of many of his profess
sional associates in Texas indicate
that death from rattlesnake bite is
not SO rare a thing as the Chicago pro-
fessor would have the world believe.
"Rattlesnakes," says DR.. Menger,
"are not in all instances deadly, de-
pending upon the parts injured, the
amount Of poison injected, susceptible
ity, eto. Often the snakes tooth
breaks off In striking, or it penetrates
thick clothing, the boot or shoe, etc,
before the fang reaches the flesh, and
in these cases only painful and super
fioial wounds are inflicted, with, per-
haps. emily slight symptoms of the poi
son. When, though, the poison fang
strikes a vital part, especially blood
vessels, the poisoning symptoms are
at once alarming, and in most of these
instances death generally occurs.
Fright during the sudden meeting of
q rattlssnake, with blood-curdling
hiss of its rattles, and the consequent
shock upon the nervous system, espe-
cially the heart centers, undoubtedly
has also produced sudden DEATH"
DIR. Menger adds that during his own
experience as city health officer of
San Antonio, and in his own private
practice, he had known of no less than
six deaths from rattlesnake poison.
In one instance farmer at Medina,
ssms rs miles west of San Antonio,
in blowing his field came across rat
tier, his plow, which severed the snake
in two parts, leaving only about six
inches of the creatures neck and head.
Tho farmer thought the snake dead,
and went on plowing. In turning back
from the opposite end to the place
where the plow had run over the rep
tile he noticed something like stick
or branch of a tree among the weeds,
and, In the act of picking it up, he un-
fortunately seized the severed snakes
neck. With sudden strike the rat
| tier plunged its fangs into the farmers
hand, and before five hours passed the
man was dead.

to produce works which are more or
less based on the doctrines of Chris
tianity. Handsome prizes are award
ed to the successful competitors,
and to win one of these prizes is re-
garded as high honor.
The subject chosen for the recent
competition in sculpture, which was
open to Catholic sculptures of all
countries, was that scene described
in the Gospel of st. John in which
Mary Magdalen appears to Christ
after He has risen, and is about to
approach Him when He stops her
with the words: "Touch me not"
These two figures were to be repro
duced in a piece of sculpture which
was not to be more than 10 cent?
metres high, and gold medal worth
1000 lire was to be the reward of the
successful sculptor.
This splendid prize was awarded a
few days ago to Ezio Ceccarelli, a
sculptor of Florence and the author
of statue of Christ which won the
prize at the international competi-
tion in Turin last year. His new Sue
cessful work is entitled "Noli Me
Tangere" ("Touch Me Not"), and is
regarded as one of the finest speci-
mems of sculpture that have been
wrought in Italy in modern times.

MODERN CHRISTIAN ART.
II Has Recently Received Valuable
Addition from the Hands of
/ u, Ezio CeccarelIi. a

In 1881 Pope Gregory XVI, man of
artistic tastes and considerable cul-
ture, thought it would be well If the
public could be induced to take more
interest in Christian art as mani
tested in painting, sculpture and
architecture, and with the object OF
attaining this Iaudable result he in
stituted what is known as the Con
corso Gregoriano," or Gregorian
competition, which is held at regular
intervals, and the specific object OF
which is to stimulate modern artists
