MRS. NATION SAT DOWN.
Judge Hazen COWS the Terror Of the

! The Topeka Journal describes the exit
of Mrs. Nation from the Topeka jail in
this wise:
Mrs. Nation appeared in the district

Her bondsmen were her brother, G. H.
Moore from Iabette. and J. c. McElroy
Of Topeka The court room was crowd
ed with lawyers interested in the calling
Of the docket when Mrs. Nation appeared
before the bar. She took a seat and was
noticeably quist. She said not a word.
A few thought that her confinement IN
Jail had broken her spirit and that she
was resigned and would be quietly sub
missive So it seemed until Judge Haz-
en- called mp the question Of furnishing
bond. While her bondsmen were signing
the bond AIRS. Nation went Up % the
judges desk and IN a low tone COM

said between them could not 81 heard.
Judge Hazen first smiled and 50 did Mrs
Nation Then sTrs. Nation looked cross

Mrs. Nation insisted that she should be

ANTHRACITE COAL GROUP
Shows Dizziness on Account
of Miners Convention.

New York. March 1.-THE stock mar
ket continued spo-ey today and largely
made up Of the operations Of profes-
siona1 traders in individual stocks. Many
Of these operations were based on cause
peculiar TO the stocks affected and the
traders professed to be following the lead
ership of insigners of the stock in their
buying. However this may be, It was
evident that purely speculative opera
lions played a large part in the days
dealings, as realizing sales came into evil
dencs in every case where considerable
advance was made. resulting in sharp re-
actions. There was more or less realiz-
ing going on all day, the sustaining in
fiuence of the strength in specia stocks
Icing availed of 10 take profits in the
general list. The result OF this is seen
in the net losses prevailing here and
there, some of them in opposite stocks.
The principal features Of the news OF
the day was the excellent traffic returns
of the railroads. especially the South
western railroads. the bituminous coal
carriers and some Of the southern roads
showed a large increase in their gross
earnings over those of the correspond
ing week of last year. The session OF the
miners convention was perhaps the
cause OF the guinness ana SllsnI weak
ness in the anthracite coal group. al
though confidence was expressed that no
strike was to be feared. The continued
low rate for call loans neutralized the
effect of the depletion Of the cash re-
serves of the banks by reason Of the
drain to the sub-treasUry and the grow
ing demands of agriculture products
might be regarded as unfavorable, espe-
cfally as the foreign trade in manufac-

ment the falling OFF in the exports COM
pared with the same month Of last
year The heavy decline in cotton eX-
ports help to explain the recent hrmness
of sterling exchange. A number Of ius-
portant movements of the day were in

and operators We're busy with stories Of

Becoming a.widow or a widower is a
much more serious business than get
ting married among some Of the tribes
In the Philippines. In Mindanao mar
rying In haste" often leads to a pro-
longed 'repenting at leixure,' for they
have an institution thertVEnown as the
"widow tax'--"chabaloan" the natives
call it. Upon the death of the wife the
widower must pay a certain sum Of
money or its equivalent in goods to his
father-in-law before he can 60 a-court-
ing again. As money Is scarce article
among these natives, the tax generally
is paid in plates of common 'stone CHI
na," which are much used by the ma
tives as medium of exchange. 1t Is
considered the proper thing for the be-
reaved one to pay 100 Of these plates to
his father-in-law for permission to look
about him for successor to the de-
ceased helpmate.
If the husband dies, the widow at
once becomes the property Of her par
ents-in-law and SO remains for life I'M
less some relative comes forward and
produces the necessary number Of din
ner plates. The natural result Of this
is that married people are all extreme
ly solicitous for the health Of each 9th
er. In sickness the invalid Is sedulous.
ly attended by the partner of his or
her joys and sorrows, the we'll person
perhaps being moved more by the
thought of those hundred plates than
by real affection.
Divorce is unknown among these peo
pie, but man may have as many
wives as he pleases. 1t will be seen
that in case Of an epidemic which
would sweep away his wives married
man would be in dire extremity. In
the case of death of much married
man his parents come into small for
tune, for they either have enough
slaves to render future work on their
part unnecessary or they receive enough
plates from the families of the widows
to set up crockery store.
