feet of foorlspace, which more than
doubles the space in the old build
ing. It's appointments are luxuri-
Gus in their very conveniences,
while the oil paintings, fresco work
and other ornamental features are
magnificent. This room alone is
worth going quite a distance to see.
In this room is the pit in which
the men stand. and dance, and
dance and crouch and yell and paw
the air with their hands in their
effort to make few hundred dol
lars in as many minutes. To an
outsider it suggests mad house,
or dispute over the umpire's de-
cision in professional ball game;
still there is method in all the seem
ing madness, and every bull or
bear in the den knows what he S
doing. One man yells in the voice
of caiope that he will sell or buy
certain amount of grain at GER
tain price, to be delivered some
time in the sweet bye and bye, and
another man, by simple nod OF his
noddle, accepts the offer. Each
makes memorandum of the deal in
his little book, and in less than a
half minute is completed a transac-
tion involving sometimes many
thousands of dollars.
In this building most of the prom
inent dealers and commission men
have Offices. The old building,
which has been refitted throughout,
and which connects with the new
by covered bridge, is also full,
and the adjoining buildings are
mostly full. Many of the larger
firms in the new building occupy
nearly whole floor.

on which they stand-the whole
property-is now valued at about

They also come around in front of

CAPTAIN EcHoLS BURIED.
Large concourse of People Attend His
 Funeral at Gadsden.

Gadsden, December 1.-(Special) )-Cap- tain Will A. Echols died at the Davis x Davis inirmary at Birmingham Saturday night and the remains reached Gadsden Sunday night. The funeral was held at the family residence on Fourth street yesterday afternoon at o'clock The funeral was one of the largest seen in Gadsden for a long time.
 Captain Echols was captain of the I1te wah Rifles for number of years and was very popular. He went with the company to the Spanlsh-American war and while there he contracted the disease that killed him. He was forced to resign as captain of the Rifles a few months ago on account of his failing health. He has been to the finest hospitals in the United States but they could do him no good. The funeral was conducted at the resi- dence by Rev pr. Dickinson of the First Baptist church and the remains were la ken in charge by the Illks and Etovab Rifles who concluded the services a6 the cemetery.
 The floral offerings were elegant and the casket was a s1OOO metallic easket, an exact duplicate of the one President Mckinley was laid to rest in.

When on a shooting trip in the interior of east Africa. accompanied only by a native boy he suddenly came to a standstill Immediately facing us. scarcely twenty five paces distant" he says standing quite still, their heads and shoulders showing above the long grass their ears cooked forward, their eyes fixed straight on us, were four full-grown lions" It was a thrilling moment. He was a once face to face with a problem as complex as it was weighted with important issues. There was no cover, and if he attempted to retreat all the animals might spring upon him. If he fired he would make sure of killing one of them; he might even kill second-but what of the sur vivors? The hunters brain worked ra- pidy, and when one of the lions showed signs of restlessness he had decided that it would be madness to fire. Unfastening his case of field glasses. he caught it by the strap. and rushing forward with a loud yell hurled it at the enemy The field glasses won the day and all four lions turned tail and bolted. yelping as they went. Thus ended" he says. ''my first. last and only chance of bagging a lion"

cAcTI GROWN FOR PROFIT.
Arizona Scientist Found Nothing Else
 Would Grow in His Garden.

Arizona Cor. New York Herald.
 A business enterprise of a novel and unique nature has been built up in the neighborhood of Phoenix, Ariz., and though not large enough to attract a great deal of attention, 1t is being carried on successfully from a financial point of view.
 Nearly everybody who had lived in Phoenix long is acquainted with pr. R. D. Kunze. better known locally as ''The Bug Catcher" Dr. Kunze takes to scientific things as a duck takes to wa ter and came here a few years ago from New York. Noting the many bugs. but terfies and insects that are rarely found in other parts, he began to systematically and ndustriously collect them and send them to eastern collectors. schools. etc, and it is understood that his work was peasingly renumerative, for he knew first how to catch and preserve his specimens and next how to classify them.
 Finally he bought a little piece of ground down near the river. mile south of Washington street on Seventh avenue, intending to plant an orchard. He tried faithfully for a year or two. but with poor success. He found the soil in that locality was worthless for fruit trees and the few that did grow were sickly lot.
 It then occurred to him that if he could not raise anything he could grow cacti. so he went into that business. Now he has a cacti nursery and is making money out of it. He supplies local people when they want cacti for decorative purposes, but his main business is in the large east ern cities and in Europe. He has been sending plants to Germany for the last four years. and last spring he made shipment of about 5000 pounds.
 Dr. Kunze knows as much about cacti as he does about bugs and when he meets
