Speculation Has Been Irregular In Its
Tendencies During the Week.

NEW YORK, March S. Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say:
Although not little strength was shown
In the movement OF prices speculation has
the week. The so-called steel deal has
been the topic which received the grea test
amount of attention in Wall street, but the
greatest interest In the matter took the
form Of discussion of it's general terms
and probable effects. rather than any
shares of the United States Steel Corpora :
ton or those of its prospective constituent
companies. The activity OF the market, In
and was IF q somewhat diversified kind
Railroad shares. headed by Pennsylvania

good share of attention and the strength
and advances in this quarter contributed to-
ward the upward movements which took
place In Union Pacific, Atchison and the

strong feature. on reports of "A deal of some
kind, ana efforts were made apparently to
revive the interest In the anthracite shares

the coal region are apprehended.
| various specialties also assumed prom-

this kind being in Amalgamated Copper
shares. which rose from e5 at the close OF

| In the midst of these demonstra tions the

the only tendency shown In them was a
moderate improvement based on the idea
that the majority interests in the various

A Riddle.

Druggists Circular: In 1899 the Mis-
souri, Historical society gave a histor-
ical loan exhibit, to which were con-
tributed objects Of 4 general as well as
local historic interest. During the tenn.
porary absence of the librarian one day
a porter called and left an oil portrait
with the j%anitor, but did not tell the
name of the wner nor the subject Of
the picture. On opening it the librar-
ian saw the face of a man apparently
about thirty years old. with small
brown eyes, a great deal Of curly red
dish-brown hair, high color, straight
nose and a decided expression Of scorn
on the mouth. Altogether a decided air
of distinction rests upon the face. The
man is dressed in the high style, white
tie and rolling black collar which dis
tinguished portraits painted during the
first quarter Of the last century. The
picture was hung during the exhibit
with the query attached, Who is this
gentleman" and SO 1t hangs on the
historical society's walls today. 1t was
never called for, and though copied in
numerous papers with the request that
it be identified or claimed the mysteri-
GUS owner has never made himself
known, nor has he parted with the
secret Of the strangers identity. Sug-
gestions have been offered from time to
time, but none of them has seemed
satisfactory, and the question still re-
mains, who is this gentleman?

RESCUED BY A HORSE.
A Boys Story of How HIS Life Was Saved
in . Cloudburht Flood.

Cleveland Leader: The almost human
sagacity Of the horse was demonstrated
recently when 11-year-old Ray Campbell,
whose mother was w in a cloud
burst in this county last week, told his
experiences during the %frightful night.
According to the boys story, he and his
mother were driving along the road about
8 o'clock, the water being well up over
the animals knees. The rain was yet
falling in torrents, and it was as lark as
pitch. Suddenly the horse stopped. Mrs.
Campbell hit it with the whip, but
it didn't bulge. Against the little boys
entreaties she hit the animal a SECOND
time, when it plunged forward, and morse,
buggy, boy and mother were in a torrent.
The boy was thrown on a log, one Of the
many being washed down the creek. che
log was driven into a piece of high ground
and stuck fast. Several hundred yards
below the boy heard his mother crying for
help. He answered her, but was afraid
to trust himself to the swift current. At
his second answer he heard a horses
neigh, and soon the animal appeared
swimming out from the bank. 1t came to
him and rubbed up against him. He then
quit his hold on the log and grasped the
horses harness, when the animal swan
with him to the bank.
There he must have become unconscious,
as it was midnight when he reached a
farmers house half a mile away, and the
watch found on his mothers body stopped
t 8 o'clock.

THE AFRICA.
Captured Slaves Arc Stored Until Divided
Among Their Captorn.

Captured Slaves Are Stored Until Divided
Among Their Captors.
Empire Review: When the difficulties
of the forced marches were surmount-
ed, and the captured slaves landed at
the headquarters Of the invading king,
they are stored till they can be divided
among their captors-so many to the
king, so many to his captains, so many
as prize money to the soldiers. 1t may
be some days before everything can be
settled: meanwhile, the slaves are
crammed altogether into the smallest
possible space, probably locked up, and
not allowed to move out of their prison
house for any purpose whatsoever.
During his time the strongest of the
slaves are bound. They are powerless
to help, whatever may be done to the
others who are their fellow townspeo-
pie, friends, or, it may even be, mem
bers Of their own family. And much
is done; the refinements of torture that
suggest themselves to the lustful mind
Of the Soudanese soldier are many and
peculiar. But with this experience the
worst part Of the business, as far as
the slave is concerned, is over
The ~barracoon is a sort Of purgatory
through which the slave passes from
the domain of the raider to that of
the dealer. 1t is a portal at which he
exchanges an atmosphere of fire and
sword for one of cash and credit. It is
a change for the better. When the
gates of the clang behind
him, they close On the red and lurid de-
tails Of epoch number one Of his career.
They shut out the confusion of the on
set, hide the cold, gray ashes of his
home, smother the rafting of letters
and h shrieks Of the dying. There is
silence. He las severed his connection
with the raider,

London Express: The Kaffirs have a
remarkably simple method Of banking.
Before setting out to trade they select one
of their number as their banker and put
all their money In his bag. When an ar
ticle is purchased by any Of those who
are in this combine the price is taken by
the banker from the bag, counted sew
eral times and then paid to the seller.
After which all the bank depositors cry
out to the banker in the presence Of two
witnesses selected, You owe me so
much" This is then repeated by the wit
nesses.
The general accounting comes between
the banker and his several depositors
when all the purchases have been made,
after which all the natives go home.

BAD CASE OF CRUELTY
HORSE ALLOWED TO SUFFER AN
ENTIRE NIGHT.
Both of It's Hind Legs Were Broken
by a Car on Liliha Street Monday
Afternoon.

A shocking case Of cruelty and neg
lect upon the part Of some one was
brought to the attention of the police
yesterday morning. AS the result of
some ones ignorapce or inhumanity,
which ever it can be called, a poor
horse whose legs had been ground into
pieces, was allowed to suffer all of
Monday night. Not until yesterday
morning, were the authorities notified
of the affair and the sufferings OF the
animal ended by killing it.
The accident, which resulted in. the
horses being injured, occurred Monday
afternoon on Liliha street near Judd.
A native was riding a horse toward
Koolau and happened to get in the way
of the electric car. The horse was
knocked down and both of its rear legs
broken and mashed by the car wheels.
Although the animal was snorting and
crying with pain, nobody seemed to
have presence of mind enough or to
care sufficiently, to make any effort to
put the animal out of its misery.
The horse was allowed to lie by the
side of the road, the rest of the after
noon and all of the following night
Finally somebody notified High Sheriff
Brown by telephone yesterday morning
that the horse was still lying along the
road and was suffering. The officer
sent Hack Inspector Frank Ferriera TO
the scene of the accident. Ferriera
promptly ended the misery of the
horse by sending a bullet through its
head.

The attorneys for the defendants
claimed that the records of such mat
ters as marriages and deaths in Hawaii

to be of little value. Judge Gear init

cords had not been properly kept. Kin
ney said that the records were COM
plete, and that license ought to be
found if there had been any.
