THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Strong and Active, Closing
Higher Than Saturday.

CHICAGO, Dec. y.-Wheat was very ac-
tive, strong, and nervous, closing &c
higher than Saturday. The market was a
repetition Of what it has been for sew
eral days, millions OF bushels changing
hands. causing temporary reactions. The
volume OF business is immense and in
creasing. The general adyices were bear
ish and would ordinarily have affected
prices. Liverpool responded feebly to our
advance of Saturday; Paris was &c and
Antwerp 1Ac higher. Local cash sales
were 100000 bushels to millers; the sea
board reported three loads.
Corn averaged lower. The large pri-
mary receipts induced liberal local real
izing and short selling. The sharp reac-
tion in oats had some effect. Later in the
day strength IN wheat checked the de-
cline and prices rallied quickly, with pit
shorts covering. Liverpool was @sa sd
higher.
Oats were active, with a large business.
The feature OF the day was the heavy sell
ing, supposed to be for the leading long
interest This had a tendency to bring
about a sharp reaction. Local traders fol-
lowed this selling and got short. Near the
close and on an attempt to cover under
strength in wheat. prices rallied. There
was nothing reported In the cash line.
Selling by two or three local packers
and rather free realizing made an easy
market in provilions early. This decline
was only temporary and was more than
recovered, and the closing was firm in
sympathy with grain. There was q good
general demand through commission
houses, and the leading bull interests in
creased their lines around inside prices.
Hog receipts we're about as expected and
sold at higher prices. The average weight
last week was 207 pounds against 257 last
year, and was a bull factor.

ABOUT THE INSANE,
Managers of Asylums Agree That Lu-
macy Is on the Increase.

Managers of AsyIums Agree That Lu-
macy Is on the Increase.
For few years reports of manag-
ers Of asylums for the insane have gen.
orally agreed that insanity is on the
increase in this country, the feverish
character OF life being assigned as a
potent cause, says the New York Ev-
ening Post. Only occasionally has it
been suggested that the conclusions as
to the increase were wrong and that
the larger number of insane found in
public institutions indicated a more
general resort to such institutions
rather than an increase in the ratio Ct
insane to population. Some support
for this theory is found in recent an
nouncement by the Indiana board OF
state charities. The beard thinks 1t
safe to say that insanity is not in
creasing proportionately in Indiana.
Possibly, could we sift the poor-asylum
population and verify our figures. we
should find that less proportionate
number of our population is insane
than was the case twenty years ago"
From the most reliable statistics OBJ
tainable 1t is learned that the ratio Of
insane to the population in Indiana in
1880 was one in 565. No figures for
1890 are available, but in 1892 the ratio
was stated to be approximately one to
600. In 1898 the ratio, based upon the
population estimated by the bureau of
statistics, was thought to be one to
SIS. Taking the number that year a.
30O) and using the population of 1900,
the ratio would be one to 5S5. Using
the figures tabulated in the Office of the
board, the ratio would be, according
to the census of 1900, one to 55S. AS
explaining how lists of the insane are
sometimes unduly swelled, the board
says that feeble-minded or epileptic
persons and those in a senile condi-
ton are often classified as insane, par
ticularly by almshouse managers.

PASSING OF THE BELL

Original Idea In Weddings.

ality out in Wyoming. At Casper, that
state, Ross Lambert. owner of a sheep
ranch. and Miss Louisa Morrison were
married at midnight while seated in

messed by the brides mother and a
few friends. The groom could well af-
ford a stylish, conventional wedding,
but he and the bride wanted something
unususi. AS soon as the knot was
tied they started for Lambert's ranch,
twenty miles away, travelling in the

be tremendous for results, as when on

them all in perdition, and Scotch
sailor touched his cap and said, Cap
tain, God hears prayer, and We would

victed by the sailors remark and con-
verted and became the means Of the

had been an infidel. and then Robert
became a minister of the gospel, and
under his ministry the goddess Felix

sionary of the cross, and the worldly

NEW STYLE OF LIFEBOAT.
Invention of Charles Mayo Launched n
South Chicago.

Invention of Charles Mayo Launched A.
South Chicago.
A new form of lifeboat, which it is
believed will result in the saving of
many lives at sea, was launched at l
o'clock this afternoon from the yards
of the Cuthbert Boat Building COM
pany, Ninety-second street and the
Calumet river. 1t is the invention of
Charles Mayo, formerly of the British
navy, and employed in the Cuthbert
yard. The lifeboat Is constructed in the
shape of barrel, being about twenty
feet long and composed of two cylin-
ders, one inside of the other. The
width is the same as an ordinary life
boat, and the capacity Of the craft is
given as fifty persons. The space be-
tween the two shells will be filled with
compressed air, to supply the occu-
pants when the matches are battened
down in a heavy sea. The inner shell
is pivoted at the ends and weighted at
the bottom, so that it will maintain an
upright position, no matter how heavy
the sea. This will prevent the occu-
pants from being injured by being
thrown about the inside through the
tossing of the waves. The outer shell is
made of sheet iron, in much the same
way that metallic lifeboats are built.
The inner shell is of aluminium, with
automatic aluminium matches, which
will close instantly when one
enters the boat. In its pres
emit form the boat is intended
for use as lifeboat on vessels, but 1t
is believed that improvements can be
made on 1t so that 1t will be available
for use by life saving crews. Each
boat will weigh about 5000 pounds and
can be carried on davits like an ordi-
nary lifeboat and lowered to the water
in the same way.

NOBLE RED MAN.
DImcult for the Indian to BECOME Self
Supporting.

Difficult for the Indian to BECOME SELF
Supporting.
How to make the Indian self-sup-
porting is problem which William l..
Brown tackles in the Southern Work
man. He would solve the problem by
making the red men race of goat
herders. He says: "The question OF
self-support for Indians is difficult
one. The limitations imposed upon
them by the nature of the country in
which they live and the lack of an in
herited habit Of work, together with
the pauperizing tendency Of the ration
system, make 1t difficult for them to
progress very rapidly toward self-sup-
port. And since training having this
end in view should be one Of the fac
tors in their education the question Is
one in which the schools should be
particularly interested. 1t has been
suggested that goat culture might Of
fer a solution of the difficulty in some
localities. The Indians familiarity
with and love for animals makes herd
ing a natural calling for them, and
they can therefore be easily trained in
the care of stock. Then, too, goats can
sustain life where cattle cannot. That
goat culture may be made profitable
there is little doubt. since there ap-
pears to be ready market for the
various products. Statistics show that
the Importation of the skins, from
which the chief value is derived, in
creased 2S per cent in the fiscal year of
1898 as compared with 1897. Most Of
the goat skins used in this country are
imported. 1t has been estimated that
the market value Of the Importation
of these skins amounts to twenty mil
lion dollars"
