favorites in the speculation. There
were gains of / to III at one time in
about dozen railroad stocks and half
as many specialties. Cotton oil had
the benefit of it's dividend declaration.
Sugar broke sharply after early
strength because of fears of further
cut in prices and rumors of a rate war
at Missouri river points. The coalers
were under some pressure owing to re-
ports of renewed troubles at the col
lieries of some of the, independent
operators, and Lackawanna suffered
in addition on its showing Of earnings
for the September quarter. which
showed a reduction in net earnings
compared with the corresponding
period Of last year of $1,700,000. Money
rates were rather firm and foreign ex-

If the management of the Paris ex
position fultills Its promises no small
number of technical marvels will be
revealed to the public In 1900.
First of all there will be Sczepanlk's
much-heralded %telectroscope, an instru-
ment which, by the aid Of ~selenluIn,
Is said to have solved the problem Of
electrical vision, says the Scientific
American. The telectroscope will,
however, find a rival In the telautO-
graph invented by Anton Pollak, 4
Hungarian engineer. The telauto-
graph, 1t Is claimed, provides a means
of receiving messages sent from one
station to another, in exactly the same
form in which they were transmitted.
The idea in itself is old; but the In.
ventor is said to have devised an ap-
paratus which Is entirely different
from its predecessors. Pollak claims
to have solved the problem by using
selenium-a metal which Is unique In
possessing the property Of conducting
electricity with a resistance which va
rles with the intensity Of the light that
falls upon 1t. The varying illumina-
ton is produced by treating the writ
ten telegram In a peculiar manner and
the variations in resistance effected BY
the selenium are communicated to q
conductor to produce an increase and
decrease in the intensity of the current
passing therethrough. An imperfect
model is said to be in tolerably sue
cessful operation and to be able 10
transmit In one hour IA telegrama
each four inches by two inches, upon
which space any number of words or
characters can be inscribed.

%D0UKH0BORs' PILGRIMAGE.
They Are Taken by Train from Minnedossa
to Y0rkt0n and Kept Guarded
In the Cars.

Winnipeg, Man, Nov. 1O.-Another
chapter in the history of the Douk-
hobors' pilgrimage to convert the
world has closed, but with the end
ing ITO be continued" The Doukhob-
ors were taken by special train from
Minnedossa to Yorkton Saturday
night and were yesterday kept in the
cars, closely guarded by northwest
mounted police. If the fight to move
them 100 yards Is any example of
what the government has to contend
with IT will take a much larger force
to move them the 100 miles to their
villages, which are that distance from
Yorkton. Minnedossa dispatches
report very stormy scenes dur
ing the entraining of the pilgrims
there. After repeated interviews
with Seikrotf, the leader of the fa-
%natics, Agent Spears decided to use
force and grabbing the leader by the
shoulders pushed him out Of the
building in which the Doukhobors
had spent the night, at the same time
calling upon the policemen to bring
the rest. As they came out the fa-
natics locked themselves together,
each man clinging to his neighbor,
thus making a solid body. Then the
excitement commenced. The citi-
zens turned out to help the police,
but 1t was hard work to pry the IA
natics apart, it taking four or five
men to pull one Doukhobor from tho
interlocked mass. Some went quiet
ly when broken away, but the ma
jority fought every inch of their
ground. One citizen had an a near
ly bitten off, a Doukhobor had his
ankle broken and there were many
other minor mishaps. A few went to
the coaches alone, but the majority
were carried bodily, dragged, pushed
along or loaded into the wagons Of
farmers who had gathered to see the
fight.

The following romantic account Of
the inspiration Of Hyperion is clipped
from q recent issue Of the Detroit Free
Press:
About the year 1887, Longfellow, In
making a tour of Europe, selected
Heidelberg for a winter residence.
There his wife died. Some time after.
ward there came to Heidelberg q
young lady Of considerable attractions.
In the course Of time the poet became
attached to the beautiful girl Of 10,
but his advances met with no response
and he returned to America. The girl,
who was also an American, returned
home shortly after. Their residences,
1t happened, were contiguous, and the
poet awaited himself Of this In prose-
cutting his attentions, which he did
with no better success.
Unlike Petrarch, who laid siege to
the heart Of his sweetheart through the
medium Of sonnets, Longfellow resolv>
ed to write a book which would
achieve the double object of gaining
fame and at the same time her affec-
tons. Hyperion" was the result. His
labor and his constancy were not with
out their reward; the girl gave him her
heart as well as her hand and after.
ward they resided in Cambridge, In
the house which Washington made his
headquarters while In command Of the
armies.

bridge several weeks ago. Mr. ware
places no faith In the statement Of
Perry that II was Mason that gave
the boy the watches. He believes
that Perry had to account for his
possession Of the watches and the
most reasonable way was to say that
they were given him by a man al
ready under arrest and by a mar
whom he had seen on the streets OF
Cambridge and could easily identity.
The fact that the negro accused
Mason of giving him the watches
did not give the police any false con-
fidence that the mystery OF the series
Of brutal crimes had been solved.
BY arrangements made last night
by the state police Perry will be ar
raigned to-day at Cambridge on the
charge of being accessory after the
fact. The police say that Perry had
been confined at the Lyman school
for boys, having been convicted for
assault and robbery upon a young
woman in this city. Also 1t has come
to light that on Sunday, July ~,
Perry, who was then employed as the
driver Of a small wagon from Cam
bridge to Boston, was missing from
his work. 1t was on this date that
an assault upon Miss Ellen Murphy
occurred.

A Disappointed Artist.

The trials of an artist are many and
sore, but one encountered recently by
a young New Yorker who earns q
scanty living with his pencil and brush
has Its ludicr0us side also. Though
his heart is true to "art for arts sake"
the exigencles of rent, clothes, and
food make necessary an occasional
resort to trick painting, at which he Is
clever; and a liquor dealer who was
about to open a new and extensively
decorated saloon gave him an order
for something that will put the laugh
on a fresh customer" Design, size,
ETC., were left wholly to the artist;
price not to exceed SIS; acceptance
subject to approval.
The artist cudgeled his brains for a
time, and then, procuring a small,
rough deal box, about IL inches long
and six inches wide, spread his IAN
vas on the inside Of the bottom of II
and painted thereon about a half pint
Of broken peanut shells and a handful
of whole peanuts. He executed the
work so well that when the box, which
had no cover, was set on a table or
bar and tilted back against the wall the
temptation for a man fond of peanuts
to reach into the box for one was al
most irresistible, and the artist tried
the trick upon some of his own friends
with success before taking 1t to the
liquor dealer.
He asked $50 for 1t, and felt that the
money was as good as in his pocket,
but to his intense disgust the man CT
spirits would not accept it, and when
pressed for his reason would give no
satisfactory explanation. A friend Of
the artist, who had the confidence Of
the rumseller, undertook to find out.
"They were too natural altogether"
said the art patron, "and some of my
customers who do not care for pea
nuts, seeing the box standing at the
end of my bar, might 60 away unde-
celved and think l was selling peanuts.
That would never do. Now, If 1t had
been some rare tropical fruit, or even
burnt almonds, that might 60, but
peanuts, never; not in this heightened
place-they are too cheap."-New York
