Chicago. May 2S--The leading futures
ranged as follows:

blessing the Danuhe.

From time immemorial it has been
the custom in Roumania, at Christ
mas, to bless the Danube.
Formerly a scaffolding was erected
on the frozen river, and on this was
a large cross of ice; but owing to the
extraordinary number of people who
presented themselves the ice fire.
quently gave way, and many were
drowned. The ceremony now takes
place on the bank of the Danube.
The people, in recognition of the oc-
cas&on, wear turbans of colored paper,
and carry long, white wands. These
people, who are dressed to represent
Pontius PLATE, Herod and other re-
lgious characters, go from place to
place singing hymns, which are al
most similar TO our own Christmas
carols.
AT the appointed hour of the cere-
mony the notabilities arrive in pro-
cessional order, accompanied by the
priests. The service lasts half an
hour, at the close of which the ice is
broken and small wooden cross is
thrown into the water. Hundreds of
people rush in after it, and the per.
son who is successful in recovering it
is considered very lucky. Sometimes
the struggle to possess these crosses
is attended with several fatalities,
owing to disputes arising as to the
ownership of the cross. In the scuf.
fie which ensues, it is said, knives are
sometimes drawn and used without
scruple.-London Express.

TRAVELS A MILE A MINUTE.
High Speed Reached by a Trolley
Car in the SlOw-GOing City
of fPhiladelphia.

In Whatever other respects Philadel-
phla may be slow she has trolley car
which sweeps through the city in the
gray hours of dawn and which. taken
day by day, is swifter than ANYTHING
else of its kind or class in the world.
1t starts from the heart of the city lust
after the newspapers are out of press
and tears away through the silent
streets in northerly and westerly di-
rection, up and down hill and along
valleys, with occasional stops to throw
out bundles until 81 minutes later it
rests on the northern summit of Chest
nut hill, 14A miles away. This is at
the average rate of 35 miles an hour, in
cluding at least one stop every three
fourths of a mile, says the New York
Sun.
Sometimes on its route it has run
mile in Is minutes and it has made the
distance in 25 minutes. including the
stops, which is Just the schedule time
of the steam express trains for practi-
cally the same distance between the
same places, though on neither the
Reading nor the Pennsylvania railways
do the trains make any stops. Some
times, as on market day, there are in
terruptions when sleepy teams get on
the lines of metals, and occasionally
another trolley car gets behind time
and doesn't give it the right of way
promptly, but despite the occasional
