SOME PECULIAR RENTS.
Estates Paid for with snowbnlIs
and Red Roses

| No doubt a great many people would
like the privilege of being able to re-
side in a palatisl mansion for which 1t
is only necessary to present the reigntng
| sovereign with a single flag every year
in lieu Of rent. But the Dukes OF Marl-
borough and Wellington actually enjoy
! such a distinction. and in return for a
French tricolor. demanded by the King
annually, are allowed to occupy Wood
stock and Strath6eldsaye unmolested. On
| August and June is, the anniversaries
of Blenheim and Waterloo. the dukes in
question send standard to Windsor
Castle to be hung in the Guard Chamber.
this being the only rent demanded of
them.
The Crown is not n very exacti..g land
lord. for 1t Is perfectly content to let the
extensive manor of Buckland. in Kent,
for the curious rent OF one red rose a
year But Banbury does not escape so
lightly, for in exchange for certain land
or the outskirts of the town it has to pay
the Crown 1900 eggs and 140 hens annual
ly. which after all is not a very exorbi-
tsnt rent.
Herrings are not caught at Ncrwich at
the present time. though before Yarmouth
came into existence these fish went up
the Yare as far as the historic town.
Three centuries back the King let the
tenancy OF the neighboring manor of
Carleton to the town of Norwich. demand
ing as rent twenty -four of the herring
pies for which the city was famed. Nor
wish still rents Carleton, though small
sum of money is now paid In lieu of the
herrings.
At least two estates are paid for in
snow. All the snow used in the Kings
household was formerly brought from his
estate at Foullis. on the slope of Ben Ne
Wis, till at length the land was given to
the Monroes on condition that they per-
mitted the King TO have a bucketful of
snow whenever hefwanted 1t. This strange
rent was last demanded just before the
battle of Culloden, when the Duke of
Cumberland sent for and obtained buck
etful of snow in the Kings name for the
purpose of cooling his wine. The Brook
house estate in Yorkshire is alsr Iaid for
in snow, a SNOWFALL having to be cent TO

THE COTTON MARKET
UnfnvorabIe Advices Cause wenk.
ness and Moderate Declines.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Cotton declined
TO moderate extent. owing partly to dis
appointing Liverpool advices and partly
to large receipts at the ports Houston's
receipts for the half week were 1900 more
than for the same time las. year.
On the other hand. the aggregate in
terror receipts for the half week were
comparatively small, falling 1000 bales
below the same time last week, and 100
bales below 'ast year, and the interior
shipments exceeded the receipts by 4.100
bales. Spot markets were STEADY or even
slightly higher. as in the case of ST
Louis, Mobile. and Charleston. and the
liberal movement at the ports Just now is
being compared with an exceptionally
light movement at this time last year, and
the bulls think it would be very easy to
form a wrong impression from such a
comparison.
Shorts. Wall Street. and to some extent
the South, were buying, but there was tn ,
usual desire to liquidate at this time OF
the year. 1t is believed that 10000 or
10000 bales will be rendered on January
contracts on Friday, including some un-
desirable cotton.
The market closed steady, with quota
tions 2 to points lower as compared with
Yesterdays closing prices.

STOCK BROKERS FRoLIC.
Philadelphia Exchange n Merry Car
niyaI of MANY SHADES.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2i.-The boys
of the stock exchange had their annual
Christmas frolic today, and with the as
sistance OF a band and a large stock of
exuberance kept on tap on occasions such
as this. they raised bedlam for more than
an hour.
All morning there was a noticeable air
OF expectancy on the floor. which was
unusually crowded. and stout. red
faced man and blonde-haired compan-
ion were seen to have many conferences.
which the josting and shouting Of mem
bers did not seem to interrupt, no matter
how forceful was either.
At last. just on the stroke Of noon, the
crier of the exchange announced that by
permission of the president, smoking
would be permitted on the floor for the
rest OF the day and non members be ad-
mitted. This speech was greeted with
wild cheers and cat-calls, finished OFF with
First in war. first in peace,
First in the hands of the city police.
A circle of armchairs was arranged in
the southeast corner of the room and an
orchestra of twenty pieces filed in and
took seats to more cheers. While the
musicians squeaked in tuning up. the
members gathered in groups and laughed
and joked like lot of schoolboys, and
when all the Instruments were in tune,
the leader tapped his music stand with
his bow and the band struck up Annie
Moore"
Then there was roar, Grey-haired
old fellows. who ordinarily move about
Will Jfuuffr their he M
yelled; young fellows capered in each
others arms, and middle-aged men
smashed each others hats with glee.
When the chorus was reached, everybody.
with one mighty accord, opened his
throEt and sang II through twice, almost
droSning out the music.
After Annie Moore" there was cake
walk. to which a jolly wag pranced with
a gentleman wearing white mutton chop
whiskers. delighting the crowd. \ second
later the red-faced, stout man seized the
leaders, bow and violin and with gro
tesque limitations OF Sousa grayely con-
Quoted the orchestra.
Two or three more tunes were played
and some of the members were seized
with the paper throwing habit. Soon the
white flakes covered the floor and clung
to the members hair and clothing. trans
forming them into veritable Kris Krin-
giles.
There were more cakewalks and
ehoruses and all sorts Of horseplay till
after / o'clock, when the boys" began
to get hungry and the floor thinned out.
The orchestra played a short while longer
Id then packed up their instruments
and derarted. leaving the tickers and
telegraph keys to make the usual stock
exchange melodies.
During the height of the fun the noise
attracted an immense crowd to the gal
lery. and the scene was much enjoyed.

EGGS DECLINE SHARPLY.
Price Goes Down Several Cents
TurLcys Are Hiyhcr.

There was a decline of several cents a
dozen in the wholesale price Of eggs yes
terday-due to slow demand. warmer
weather, and in sympathy with outside
markets.
The price Of strictly fresh eggs ranged
early in the day between. rs and 30 cents
a dozen, but the holiday demand being
nearly all supplied. together with warm
weather, which is likely to increase the
receipts, and lower nearby markets. the
price declined to 25G26c dozen. Re
ceipts of eggs were light. but they were
sufficient TO supply the limited demand.
TURKEYS were scarce and about L cent
pound higher for dressed stock, and
while live turkeys were firm they were
not as urgently sought after as the stock
ready for market. as II was too late to
prepare them. Dressed turkeys brought
as high as 13 and IA cents pound In
wholesale way, and live from IL to IL
cents a pound. The offerings were very
light.
About this time last December live tur-
keys sold at from TO . cents pound,

Sugar Second AmnIEnmatcd.

The violent fluctuations in Amalgamated
have now ended, for time at least. and
Sugar is taking its place. The new Stand
ara OIL favorlte is almost holding its own
for the violence OF it's break Nobody
knows what will come later. but it is GER
tainly not impossible that Sugar may be
quite as much Of game for the insiders
as Copper was. and quite as much of a
disaster for the outside Investors. The
beginning Of the campaign in the stock
has much the look of that in Copper.
Conservative brokers are advising their
customers thus early in the game that it
will be foolish to attempt to guess at
which way the stock will move, with all
the advantages in favor of the insiders.
There is one important difference be-
t"-Sen the break that is taking place in
Sugar and the Copper tumble The public
has some Sugar stock. but its holdings
are Insignificant compared with what 1t
owned In Amalgamated before the smash
in that stock. This is fortunate for the
public. II is also fortunate for the stock
market. The public has lost a great deal
OF money in Amalgamated in addition to
all that ii has dropped In the general
breaks OF the past year. If there were
heavy losses in prospect Oh Sugar there
would be Few people willing to predict
that the general market ccaid stand up
under them. As il Is. there is no reason
to suppose that the Sugar game will hurt
he general market much or for long.

CzoIgosz to Die This Month.

At Buffalo last Thursday Leon F.
Czolgosz, the assassin of President Nc
Kinley, was sentenced to be electro
cuted in Auburn State prison in the
week beginning October %, the earli-
est time permissible under law. Be-
fore sentence was passed the assassin
showed desire to speak. but he seemed
unable to get his voice above whis-
per and his words were repeated to
the court by his counsel. "There was
no one else but me, he said in a whis-
per. mo one else told me to do it
and no one paid me to do it. l was
not told anything about that CRIME
and l never thought anything about
the murder until a couple of days be-
fore committed the crime"
Czolgosz then sat down. 1t was
evident that his mind was flooded
with thoughts of his own distress,
His eyes were dilated, making them
appear extremely bright. The muir
derer's cheeks were trihe pale and
his outstretched hand trembled. The
guards put the handcnffs on his wrists.
He looked at one of the officers.
There was an expression Of the pro-
foundest fear and helplessness in his
eyes. Justice White in passing SEN
tence spoke of the terrible crime that
had brought the murderer before him,
and then sentenced him to be cleo
trocuted in Auburn Prison during the
week beginning October %. The as
sasein was Immediately taken by train
to Auburn, and as he was hurried to
the prison where he is to be executed
he broke down and cried and howled
in abject fear. He was so terror
stricken he could not walk, and it
was necessary to drag him to the cell,
where he is now confined awaiting his
death.

Vile railroad are promised trouble be-
cause of their alleged violations of
the liquor laws. 1t has of late be-
come habit for liquor houses to ship
c. 0. D. packages of whisky to fcti-

express agents would sell them as I'M
claimed packages. Often as much as
a half carload of four-q quart boxes have
been sent out i'll one shipment. In
this manner whisky has been shipped
to various points in the interior Of the
State. Last Tuesday Deputy Collector
Redmond visited the Adams Express
office at Ripley and confscated 30
boxes of liquor. The agent was ar
rested and put under bond. Other
arrests will follow.
