l is thus quite near one of the greatest trade routes of the world.
 Most of the trouble has occurred 1T British Somaliland, which fronts on the Gulf of Alden and has an erea of about 6Se00 square miles. Along its coast are the considerable ports of Berbera. Bull har and Zeia, which have had important trade with the Somali, though the com merce of Berbera and Bulhar has been nearly ruined by the present troubles.
 The larger part of British Somaliland Is an elevated plateau crossed by barren mountain ranges. For a part of the year the country is very dry and water can be obtained only along the few rivers and in the wells but in the fall and winter seasons a great deal of ram falls ovet most of the country. This is the time when the live stock has most food and the people are most active. Somaliland IS now in the midst of the rainy season and this is one of the reasons why tho Mad Mullah has resumed hostilities, for there IS now plenty of grass to sustain the horses of his cavalry.
 It is believed that not more than 25o : O00 natives are living in British Somali- land The revolt has been confined all most entirely to these Somalis who live under the so-called rule of the British government, with the consul general at Berbera as the chief official of the pro tectorate; but, though the hostile Somalis are nearly all residents of British Somali- land, they have carried on their campaign or the past year to come extent into the Italian and Abyssinian parts of the land The fear Is now expressed that the re- cent successes of the Mad Mullah may have the effect to induce the large num- Der of Somalis living in the Italian and Abyssinian districts to join the hostile faction; in this case the European Pow CTS interested are likely to have a very ugly war their hands
 Most of the Somalis are nomads. keep ing sheep, goats, cattle, eamels and ponies, and following the rains in search Of grass for their animals. The settled Somalis are only those who live at the villages of the Mullahs and in or near the coast towns. The people are a mix ture of Arab and negro stock and are very proud indeed of the fact that they came partly from the race to which the prophet belonged. To the west of them live another large people, the Galas who are regarded by the Somalis as very inferior, for they have no Arab blood in their veins. No Somali would think of taking a wife from among the Gallas They have pride of birth and on the whole are an intelligent and active race Being splendid horsemen and greatly ad- dicted to footing forays they are we'll rained in the art of war as they under stand It. Perhaps the greatest point in their favor in the present troubles is that if they are defeated they are able to dash off at a hot pace to some other part of the country, getting out of the way of the enemy until they are ready once more to take the field against him.

hlleu last feDruary and now selling at 22 to 24 cents a pound.
 Naturally, one wants to know the reason of this shortage. and no one can tell exactly, but it is generally understood that the high price of grain accounts in a great measure for the present condition. People couldn't afford to buy grain just to feed it out, and. as this state of affairs prevails all through the west, there is distinct falling off in the turkey market. All summer long it has been impossible for the market men to get turkeys from anywhere. There is another req son for the scarcity It has been a cold, wet summer, and any one who knows anything about the raising of the Thanksgiving bird knows that nothing is more fatal to young tur- keys than cold, damp weather. It is claimed, however, that no shortage is anticipated in the Thanksgiving mar ket, because this event has been spe- cially provided for in Vermont and Rhode Island as well as in the great west. Last year at this time turkeys were selling at $10 a hundred less than they are selling this year. Just at present the price of frozen turkey is double that of frozen turkey last year at this time-the price now be- ing, wholesale, 25 cents a pound. It is next to impossible to get a Vermont turkey at all. as the birds of that state are being held for Thanksgiving, and well they may be, for the whole sale price of these particular turkeys is higher on the hundred by six or seven dollars than those from any other section.

Turkeys Are Scarce.

From the Boston Transcript.
 There is no corner on turkeys, as has been stated, because there are not enough turkeys to corner. The great packing establishments in Chicago, which have made a special effort in the way of buying poultry, are as turkeyless as any other concern. Won derful to relate, frozen turkey is higher than fresh turkey by cents a pound wholesale. This is because frozen turkey is better eating and better value than fresh turkey, which at this date on the calendar is still young-decidedly young, and there is, therefore, not so much meat, or so firm and fine as that of the mature turkeys

the vault is fourteen inches thick. The
exterior is a steel coat. Next to ii is

OF that thick burglar proof plate of

At night two men guard the vault.

A further safeguard is the time lock NJ

Rudolph keppler, who was elected
president OF the New York Stock Ex-
change last spring for the fifth con
secutive term. has been an active and
beneficial influence in that organization
for more than a quarter of a century.
He entered the board of governors in
May, 1877, and has been identified more
or less with the management of the ex-
change since that date. Although of
German birth, Mr.. Keppler has been
resident of this country since his youth.
and his business career has been devel-
oped in Wall street.
Since he became the administrative
head of the Stock Exchange there has
been a wonderful growth in the bust
ness of the institution. New securities
aggregating in value $2000.000,0@
have been added to the stock list during
the past four years, and the volume of
the speculative business in the ex-
change has steadily increased.
Mr.. Keppler's administration is the
only period in the history of the New
York Stock Exchange in which daily
sales of 100000 shares of stock have
been recorded.
With the increase of business the
value of membership has advanced.
until now 1t takes nearly 100000 to
gain admission to what has been de-
scribed as the greatest financial mart
In the world.

THE TWO MEN INCLINED THEIR HEADS.
Viola was an orphan. There was no
one to whom she could naturally look
for aid at such time. 1t was neces-
sary that some one should take into
his hands that tangle of business af
fairs which Dudley Warner had left
behind him. Morrison asked for this
task, and Viola had no alternative but
to intrust it to him. So when the dead
had been laid to rest he went to work
to bring order out of the strange chaos
of debts, with the result that many
men had sound pecuniary reason to
bless the fate that had taken Dudley
Warner out of the world.
1t was matter of months, and Nor,
rison stretched it out as long as he
could. He had begged of Viola the
privilege of making no report to her
until he could make complete one
She w ) child in matters of business
and did not realize the nature of the
obligation which he had assumed. She
expected in the end a long schedule Of
debts, which she would labor to pay.
In the meantime she lived cheaply
with her friends in Newark and mar
rowly met her expenses by the returns
from few pupils in music.
Morrison saw her rarely, and his life
was haunted by the dread of what she
must eventually face. 1t was in his
heart many time to falsify the whole
cnYin Of nfSs 70 hpln
In Violas favor and conceal from her
forever the fact that the source Of 1t
was his own pocket. At the last he
compromised the matter with his con-
science. He would confess the fact
that he had incurred some expense in
the settlement of the estate, but would
say that it was a trifle and would beg
of her in the name Of their old friend
ship to permit him to cancel it. And
that was what he did.
She heard him through without CON-
ment or question, with waiting calm
that frightened him. He dreaded to
hear her speak of him as creditor, to
hear her say that she would work to
pay him. The cold sweat was on his
forehead at the thought. For the best
part Of year he had dragged this mat
ter along, and she had worked as we'll
as she could for living. There Is lit
tie more for woman in this world.
When he had concluded his state
ment, he paused, and she was about to
speak, but he checked her.
"Viola," he cried. there Is more than
one man in this world for whom
would do this thing, and, more, why
can't | be the same friend to you that

CENTER OF FINANCE
SPLENDID NEW HOME OF THE NEW
YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

How Its Business Has Increased In
Recent fenrs-Membership Worth n
FOrtune-The Head Of the Institu-
ton.
Half block away from Wall street
nearly completed, stands the majestic
new home of the New York Stock Ex-
change. which from the magnitude Of
its financial operations and it's mighty
influence in business affairs is destined
to become one of the notable buildings
Of the world
The new Stock Exchange is an i'm
mense structure, a block in length, ex-
tending from Broad street, on which it
fronts, to New street. and it is 1873 feet
In width. 1t has height of five sto-
ries, with cornice. The effect of mag
nitude is enhanced by the architectural
design of the building, for across its
front are six immense Corinthian col
umns, guarding, as it were, the grand
portico and supporting a broad pedi-
ment. All the exterior construction of
the building is of white Georgia mar
bic, and the interior is of white South
Dover marble.
Aside from the beauty and magni
tude of the structure there are two
other features Of 1t which are of spe-
cial interest. One of these is the floor"
where the trading will be done. and the
other is the safety deposit vault, which
Is one of the finest in the world.
The trading floor is to be vast room
40 feet long from the inner face of the

stood for Massachusetts General hos
pital, where Newton was surgeon.
He was a cousin of Morrison and had
often been his adviser in earlier days.
Mrs. Warmers address was not given

that DR.. Newton had not known it.
Otherwise he would have felt com
PEELED to communicate directly with
her. This involved the further infer
ence that Warner was unconscious and
that the "chance of fatal result
amounted to a strong probability.
Upon this matter Morrison strove to
think sanely and decently. He could
not hope for Warmers death.
Before her marriage Viola had been
a teacher of music in a private school
1t was possible that her address could
be ascertained at that place, though it
was summer and the school must be
closed. The building when he reached
it in the gray dawn seemed entirely
deserted, but vigorous ring at the
bell brought forth servant who by
great good fortune knew where the
Warmers had lived. Her information
guided Morrison to q boarding house,

General Booths Mission.

The mission to this country of Gen.
eral William Booth, who was recently
received with great enthusiasm by rep.
resentatives Of the American depart
ment of the Salvation Army in New
York, appears to be twofold-to visit
the stations Of the Army and acquaint
himself with its work and to put that
work before the people of the United
States.
The foundation principles of the Sal.
walton Army, as he explains them,
are religion and self support. both of
which he embodies In the sentence
Some reformers endeavor to reform
men by washing their shirts; we pro-
pose to wash their hearts and show
them how to wash their own shirts.
"The people Of England spend $4,000
600 a year in housing their poor, and at
the end of ten years there are as many
to house as at the beginning" says
General Booth. I'VE propose to cure
the poverty while we take temporary
care of the poor"
The commercial success Of General
Booths enterprises. as he gives ac-
count of them, goes far to convince the
incredulous that his plan is practically
expedient as well as theoretically
plausible. 1t is in the furtherance of
these enterprises that he is now here
to ask the aid of the American people.
He processes himself confident of his
ability to pay 3h per cent interest on
capital loaned to him for investment
in his enterprises, which have for their
purpose not only the rescue of the
fallen and unfortunate, but their pres
ervation In the path of safety and Sc
curity. This kind of rescue work Is
very different from picking drowning
men out of the water and leaving them
to tumble in again.
General Booth will visit all the prin-
cipal cities Of the country, remaining
here until the middle Of February, and
should be given an attentive and con-
siderate hearing wherever he goes.

It will erect on the fair site. 1t can
only recommend the erection of n GER
tain kind of structure, as the national
commission will have charge of the
contract. 1t may be granted full pow

present no appropriation has been made
for ii except for actual travelling ex-
penses.
Mrs. Blair is the wife of James Law
renee Blair, general counsel of the Lou
isiana Purchase Exposition company.
She is woman of commanding APP
pearance and unusual executive ability
and has wide acquaintance in Wash
ington, New York, Philadelphia, San
Francisco and Chicago.
AS an organizer she is recognized in
amateur musical circles throughout the
country. Mrs. Blair has accomplished
marked results for the elevation of mu-
sic in st. Louis. AS president of the
Morning Choral club she was signally
successful, bringing that organization
from mediocrity to its present high
standard Of excellence.
When, some months ago. Mrs. Blair's
name was brought forward in connec-
ton with the appointment to a mem
bership on the ladies' board of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. she re,
ceived the Endorsement of a majority
Of the promoters of the fair. This was
followed by Endorsements from nearly
200 exclusive social leaders in St Louis
whose names had never before been at
tached to such petition.
Those familiar with the work of Mrs.
Blair are confident that she will be of
great value to the exposition company
in the organization and management
of the woman's department. Her wide
experience in organizations of various
kinds peculiarly fits her for the han
ding of the vast details which will
arise in work of such magnitude as
the woman's department of the st.
Louis worlds fair.
