Last of the Modocs.

The ancient Modoc tribe has dwfn-
died to n members, mostly women and
sick or diseased children. The death
Of a Modoc brave lately has left only
13 ablebodied warriors, who will never
go to war again probably. From the
most savage and indomitable of fight
ers they have lost all ambition for any
thing but their government supplies,
and, while virtually prisoners of war
on a small reservation, they are left
unmatched. The spirit of old days has
gone, and nobody will ever hear Of a
story about s'the last Of the Modocs."-

Th;ers, FulaIIed Proabecy.

In January, 1871, NJ. Theirs made the
following remarkable prophecy: :"When-
ever England is in conflict with a for
eign power Europe will see her colonies
rally and cooperate with her. Without
the slightest expense to her they will
equip their soldiers, their only ambi-
ton being to show their close union
with her and to demonstrate that their
strength and energy are at her dispo-
sal, just as her resources are at theirs.

incredulity and although perhaps none
of as will live to witness it"-United

WOMEN AS MANAGERS.
Three Widows Who Run Promi-
nent Playhouses.
AMELIA B1NGHAMs UNIQUE POST

She Is the First Actress Manager In
a Long While to Establish a Conn
pany In New York-Her Account of
Her Labors Shows Them to BE Ar
duous.
The advent of woman as the mana
ger Of New York theater has-called
attention to what would be regarded in
London as no novelty, but seems
strange in New York, where Laura
Keene is well nigh forgotten and Anne
liza Bingham's attempt to establish a
stock company is a current topic. The
fact is that one does not have to go out
of Greater New York to find another
woman in the dictatorship of a play
house, says the New York Sun. Caro-
line Hoyt-Sinn manages the Montauk,
in Brooklyn. When her husband died
a few years ago, she took his place,
but her labor is comparatively light.
Only travelling companies appear at the
Montauk, and the booking is in the
hands Of Klaw & Erlanger. A little
farther away from Broadway a woman
manager has more to occupy her mind.
Mrs. Abell-Brinker is the manager and
leading actress of the Aben-Brinker
repertory stock company at the New
Century, in Newark. Mrs. Brinker Is
remembered as Miss Abel, a young ac-
tress of good ability and very pretty
person. She and her husband intro
duced their company successfully to
Newark, with themselves as the lead
ers. Mrs. Brinker had been the princf~
pal actress in a similar Newark organ
ization, and everything was made
ready for a vigorous rivalry this sea-
son. Mr.. Brinker's tragic death in a
New York hotel did not materially al

An Asphalt Lake In Canada.

Thomas f. Drew. a mining man,
who has been prospecting In the wilds
Of Canada, thinks he is on the track
Of an asphalt lake near James bay.
zone day." he says, "a party of pros
pectors and an Indian guide were in
a section of country beyond the Great
Divide. The party had camped for a
rest, and the Indian went in quest Of
game. He started up a fox at the
same moment he was on the rocky
rim of good sized lake. The fox ran
across the top of the lake, splashing
the water as he went. The Indian
guide rubbed his eyes and sat down to
ponder on things in general. He then
went down to the lake himself, and
what Reynard could do he could do.
It was an asphalt lake and, being in
the spring, had about an inch Of wa
ter on it. Efforts are now being made
to locate the lake."

The Mexican. Dollar,

The Mexican Herald does not believe
that the Mexican dollar can be driven
out of the east. The big business
houses of the far east. it says, and the
Chinese compradores, always accus-
toned to the Mexican dollar, give 1t the
preference. Few other coins have been
better received in any part OF the
world And any one who knows the
intense conservatism Of the Chinese
may well doubt If, even In the Philip
pines, where there are not few Chi
nese traders, a new dollar can wholly
drive out the time honored Mexican
coin. On the mainland the Mexican
dollar Is a standard Of value, and the
Chinese are marvelously well acquaint-
ed with every feature of 1t.

American Appetite For Diamonds.
1t is the voracious appetite Of Amer
leans for diamonds and not the regula-
ton of the De Beers output by Cecil
Rhodes that, according to Mr.. Woolf.
the leading partner of the biggest Lon
don wholesale diamond firm, is respon-
sible for sending up these gems so per
cent. Woolf said: Everything has
gone up In our trade-emeralds ten
times as much as diamonds owing to
the smallness of the supply. Pearls,
too, are very dear. The Americans buy
up three-fourths Of the diamonds. The
Americans buy the very finest dia-
monds and will pay any price for them.
A syndicate has got the cream. There
are only six members, and there never
was such monopoly as theirs. Rough
" speaking, I should say they have
made about Sic, O,OO0,o 600 in one year."

BILLIONS.

An increase Of more than 100 per
cent in the money of the world in less
than a genera ton is an exhibit of the
anual report of the director of the
nlnt Nearly the whole Of this in
crease is in metallic money. and much
the larger portion is In gold. The to-
tai stock reported in 1873 was about
81, 600, 600, 600. More than half Of this
was in paper money not fully covered
by the metallic reserve. The situation
at the beginning of 1900 showed to-
tai monetary stock of about $11, ,60O.-
100000, Of winch only a little more
than one-fourth was in uncovered pa
per money.
Director Roberts finds that, while
the money supply of the world has in
creased about $1,000, 100000, the in
crease in gold money since 1873 has
been about $3,GOO, 100000. in silver
about 100000 and in uncovered
paper money only about $65o,O0O, 600.
A large proportion of the increase In
gold has taken place within the short
space Of seven years, while the quanti-
ty of silver money, which was at it's
maximum of about $4,25O, 100000 at
the beginning of 1886, has since been
somewhat reduced by the retirement
of silver by Germany and It's retire.
ment in other o--utries. The condi-
tions of 1893 showed a total monetary
supply of about $4,000, 200, 900, which
has since been increased by about ST.
100,OO0,Oo0. About $940, ,0OO, 900 Of this
increase has been in gold money-Phil-

THE STOCK MARX EFT.
A FingGing Speculative Interest.

| New York, July 24.-The dullness and
the feeble fluctuations in prices in to-
days stock market reflected a tagging
4 speculative interest. By this morning
the fact had become obvious that yes
| terday's violent recovery in the prices
of stocks had been principally based
on the relapse in the grain markets
| rather than on any actual news from
the grain crops, while the movement in
| the grain markets had been based
largely on technical causes, especially
the overlooking of long corn by the
eager spectators for the rise. The con-
| sequences of this revised view of yes
terday's movement were some renewed
| misgivings lest yesterdays reported
, benefit from rains had been overstated.
These misgivings were accentuated by
published estimates from exhaustive
| inquiry showing heavy damage already
inflicted upon the corn crop. The sharp
opening declines, however, met consld-
| cradle effective support and substantial
rallies followed.
The weakness was again renewed in
the stock market when the opening
grain markets showed notable strength
both for corn and wheat, the resulting
declines in stocks exceeding those at
the opening and extending from the
grangers into other portions of the rail-
road list The tendency of stocks to
rally from declines showed the growth
of feeling that the decline already
effected has fairly discounted substan-
tial damage to the corn crop.
Money market considerations again
loom up into some prominence as fac
tor in the activity of speculation. 1t is
realized that the heavy liquidation in
stocks of the last few weeks had in
view preparation to meet the crop-mov-
ing requirements and not renewed spec
uation Transfer of funds from New,
York through deposits at the ub-treas-
ury is the signal that crop requirements
have begun. The necessity must thus
be recognized Of adjusting speculative
demands to this prior and more urgent
requirement.
The lack of definite conviction regard
ing the outlook was plain from the con-
fused and irregular movement Of prices
An attempt was evident to lead an up
ward movement by bidding up Union
Pacific and the Wabashes, and there
was some show of firmness among the
southern railroads and seaboard soft |
coal carriers. But the market yielded /,
at the last to renewed weakness when |
the room traders attempted to take |
their profits and the lowest prices for |
the grangers and Pacifics were made |
slightly before the close, which was fe-
verish and irregular. At the lowest the |
declines were Missouri Pacific 3s, ST. |

Henry Tisdale Vanderhook was born
in Newbury Wis, March 81, 1856. He
was one of fve children and his father
died when he was Il years old. At this
tender age he began working in the
primitive grist mills of that time and
by his fidelity ana zeal he won the con-
ddence of his employers and was rapidly
promoted. At the age of 20 he was made
head miller in one of the large AIinneap-
oils mills and from there he accepted a
similar position in one of the largest
mills in the east being located at Brook
Ign. n. Y. After successfully operating
this plant for q number OF years he came
west and has since experimental a num-

superintendent and head miller in the
J. p. Baden mills where he achieved a
remarkable record as q miller and at his
death he was conceded one of the lead
ing mnlers of the west AS q mechanic
he probably had no peer.
Mr.. Nanderhook enjoyed the confidence
and esteem of the late j. p. Baden 70 a
remarkable degree and Mr.. Baden always
felt that there was no problem or propo-
siuon in milling too difficult for Van"
as DE familiarity called him, to solve, and
his confidence was indeed well grounded.
1t seems a sad and pathetic coincidence
that only about one year should separ-
ate the death Of Mr.. Baden and Mr..
Nandercook, who always regarded Mr..
Baden with such deep and tender affec-

the associates of 0Ir. Vanderhook his
