The raven Of southern Europe is a
bold felloW-not unlike his cousin, the
crow. Some notices of the bird, given
by an English traveller in Corsica, offer
amusing proof Of this.
A youth whom l employed to carry
my camera could never look on ravens
with any equanimity, for he had suf-
fered much from their thievish i'm
pudence when sent to the bush to
gather freWood.
On one occasion he lost his dinner, a
loaf Of bread wrapped in a napkin, al
though he was working close to the
spot where he had laid it and had turn
ed his back for only a minute.
But the most objectionable insult he
had ever received happened on day
when he was out gathering wood. AS
he was STOPPING down to bind q bum
die Of fagots a raven suddenly swoop-
ed from behind, lifted the cap from his
head and flew away with it to lofty
crag, from which she uttered croaks
of triumph
The cap was subsequently seen lined
with straw and serving for nest.

at g higeher price. The shock which
caused the collapse was the Northern
Pacific corner, without dispute The
probability seems to be that 200 rep
resents about the figure which will be
demanded in settling for Northern Pa
cific.
On that point the following state
ment from a member of the Hartman
syndicate is significant: Northern
Pacific is in control of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. The only thing that can affect this
control will be the possible inability
to them. J. F. Morgan & Co. are in
the same position"
The struggle of the financial giants
which broke the most remarkable
movement that American stocks has
ever had dates back but a fortnight.
b. II. Hartman and his associates, so
they relate the story in the street, dis
covered that brokers representing J.
2. Morgan & Co. were buying Union
Pacific. Hartman at once began in
creasing his own holdings, buying on
a market that rapidly advanced, and
when sure of control submitted a prop
Osition for some basis of agreement as
to the control of Burlington, just ac-
quired by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific That offer was re-
jected. On Monday last there began
sensational movement in Northern
Pacific. 1t developed finally that there
were three large interests in the prop
erty, two seeking it's management and
the third a speculative profit.
Both the Hartman syndicate and
the Morgan-Hill interests claimed con-
troll and the predicament of the shorts
was made worse by the fear of both
the Hartman and Morgan syndicates
to lend the stock to the shorts. 1t was
this fear that led Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
of the Hartman interests, to seek an
understanding with Morgan & Co. as
to the lending of stock to shorts. To
have loaned without an understanding
was to court the danger of losing the
stock and possibly the dearly pur-
chased opportunity to control. The
shorts learned Wednesday that they
were severely cornered, and made
frantic efforts to secure stock and thus
developed yesterdays wild panic
James J. Hill, president of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, took dinner
with his son at the Metropolitan club
last evening. When seen concerning
the struggle in the stock market he
said: "When l have spoken at all I
have tried to make people understand
that [ have had nothing at all to do
with these market transactions. I
have been busy all day long buying
locomotives for the road. l have not
been in the street, and l have neither
bought nor sold a share of Northern
Pacific stock"

KNEW THE NOON HOUR.
A Pair of Horses That Stopped When
the Whistles Blew.

A pair Of intelligent horses attracted
the attention Of large crowd on Mas
sau street at noon one day last week.
They were attached to a heavily load
ed ice wagon coming down the steep
grade between Cedar street and Maid
en- lane and were holding back the
wagon with noticeable effort. When
they were half way down, the whistles
blew for II o'clock. Suddenly the
horses drew in toward the curb and
began to plant their hind feet we'll for
ward to stop the wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them, and their hard work at once at
tracted notice. Pedestrians looked at
the horses and then at the driver, who
had a broad grin on his face. By hard
work the wagon was stopped. The
driver sat still and watched his ami
mails. One Of them Immediately be-
gan rubbing his head against the neck
of the other and with mods and pushes
succeeded in rubbing his bride off.
Then the other horse took his turn at
rubbing, and his bride came off.
Fluffy 200 persons had watched this,
and when it was completed the driver
got down from his seat and swung a
bag Of oats over the nose of each ami
NAL. They stood there and ate their
midday meal. The driver was patient
ana proud of his team. He petted them
and talked to them and when they
were through drove off whistling.
Talk about the laboring man drop
ping his shovel at the sound of the
noon WHISTLE" said one man-"that
beats anything I ever saw No one
hereafter need try to convince me of
the intelligence of the horse. That ice
wagon team settles it, = New York

WASP STINGS.
People Who Have Died From the Ef-
fectS of Them

n
fects of Them.
In an article on the stings of wasps
British medical journal cites the two
following cases which have come I'M
der its notice: A strong, healthy girl Of
q was stung on the neck by wasp
and tainted. On regaining conscious
ness she complained of general feel
ing Of numbncss and partial blindness
and vOmited. She suffered severe alb
dominal pain. She recovered in the
course of few hours. Two months
later she was stung again, this time OF
the hand Her face became flushed,
she again complained of numbnesS and
blindness, suddenly became very pale,
tainted and died % minutes after she
was Stung.
Another case was that Of girl of %
years, who was stung by a wasp be-
hind the angle of the jaw. The sting
was at once extracted and ammonia
applied. In a few minutes she COM
planned of faintness and would have
fallen if she had not been supported.
Her face assumed an expression of
great duAlcly, anu lew mluuleS ldloT
she was tossing on the bed complain
ing of a horrible feeling Of choking
and of agonizing pain in the chest and
abdomen. Brandy gave no relief. There
was nausea but no vomiting. She
rapidly became insensible and died Is
minutes after receiving the sting. The
most probable explanation of such
cases seems to lie in what is known as
idiosyncrasy-that is, abnormal sensi-
tiveness in particular individuals to
certain toxic agents. 1t is we'll known
that drugs vary much in action on diff
ferent people. What is a safe dose for
one is dangerously large for another.
The inability of some people to eat
strawberries or shellfish is another in
stance of the same phenomenon. The
active agent of bee stings is generally
believed to be formic acid It therefore
seems very desirable that we should
have more accurate information re-
garding the action of this drug on diff
ferent species of the lower animals
and through them on man himself

A CkirOpOdist'S Advice.

A chiropodist advises that foot COM
fort is much enhanced if all callouS
places on the feet are made perfectly
smooth. This can be done easily and
the feet kept in excellent condition by
using a fine pumice stone every morn
ing after the bath. The pumice stone
should, of course, be wet, and if rubbed
daily over the points on the feet that
have hardened or shown a tendency to
harden the places can be made and
kept smooth. After a corn has been
removed, too, a light rubbing daily
of the place where it has been will
often prevent it's return.

But Kept Well Under Control-Some
Heartbrealxing Scenes.


Heartbrealxing Scenes.
The state Of excitement was very
apparent all through the financial dis
trict during the period of the panic,
but there were few sensational scenes.
Now and then a White-fa faced woman
would peer from cab outside a brOk-
er's office, and would be driven off in a
fainting condition after receiving
message from the interior. The real
stress Of the occasion came upon the
men who were shut up in either their
private Offices, or those of brokers who
were struggling, and even fighting, on
the floor of the exchange. In the
brokers' offices sat many men who
were reduced to absolute ruin as re-
suit of fifteen minutes proceedings on
the stock exchange. Some of these
had been made opulent within a few
weeks past as a result Of the unparal-
leled rise of prices.
With the true gambling spirit, they
had replaced all their winning in new
ventures on each successful turn. Yes
terday's drop, therefore, wiped them
all out. In many cases one could see
the gamblers fortitude with which the
chances of gain were accepted. But
the glittering attraction of this mar
ket has brought into it a constantly in
creasing assortment of more staid and
inexperienced speculatOrs-men and
women who have brought lOng-stand-
ing boards from secret places and
from savings bank deposits with the
determination to make one successful
stroke and then retire with the pro-
ceeds. The demonstrations from this
class, which includes many women
spectators, furnished the hysterical
scenes and sensations of the day.

Irish Paper Is Seized.

Dublin, May 11.-William O'Brien's
weekly newspaper, The Irish People,
the organ Of the United Irish league,
has been seized by the police on an
order from the under secretary for Ire

had been distributed when the office
was visited, but the remaining copies
were surrendered under protest Po-
licemen visited all the shops and
seized the copies found there. 1t is
stated that the reason for the seizure
is that the paper contains offensive
remarks concerning the king.

New York, May 10.-The threaten
ing condition Of affairs which devel-
Oped in the stock market Wednesday
eliminated yesterday in one of the Sc
verest twists ever experienced in Wall
street. The corner in Northern Pa
cific was the impelling cause of the
crisis. Strenuous efforts were made
by the most powerful financial inter
ests in the country to avert the threat
ened trouble, and almost unlimited
supporting orders were placed in the
market for the opening, in anticipa-
ton of the heavy selling which was to
come. But all precautions proved I'M
availing. When Northern Pacific be-
gan selling at 200 and 800 and 500,
and even as high as 700 on regular
transactions, and at 1000 for cash, the
appalling possibilities of the forced
covering of the largest shortages at
those terms weakened the whole mar
ket and prices crumbled away with
the utmost violence during the second
hour.
The volume of the blocks unloaded
which they brought were without pre-
cedent in the memory of the oldest
trader. There was a quick rally in
the market when the announcement
was made that the contending inter-
ests in Northern Pacific would not re-
quire deliveries of stock at once. Pref
Nv ;r,+i Joo
out that such delivery would not be
required so long as present conditions
last. The exemption of Northern Pa
cific from the usual clearing house re-
quirements of delivery still further al
layed apprehension. The quotations
of the stock fell back to 300, both on
cash and on regular transactions after
these announcements, and there was
a scramble to cover on the part of pro-
fessional shorts.

During the height of the panic rumors
Of inSOlvencies were handed about
more quickly than they could be re-
ported. In more than one instance the
answer to these rumors was for a
representative Of the house to 60 upon
the stock exchange and place loans to
a large amount, as indicating the abun-
dance of resources at hand. But not
withstanding these and similar devices
for keeping up credit and confidence
the fact was too obvious from the
crash of values on the exchange that
credits ana borrowing power were
shrinking at too prodigious a rate not
to leave the mind of the whole finan-
cial world in a condition of intense
strain.
