AN MISTAKE.

Remark That Was Hardly Appropri-
ate Considering the Circumstances.
Some years ago, in a very rural dis
trict, a farmer had a COW for sale.
Now, says London Tit-Bits, as there
was no weekly paper to advertise in,
it was the custom of the vicar to give
each notice out to his congregation
on Sundays. So the farmer thought
he would go to the vicar and get him
to advertise the COW in church.
eyes," said the vicar, 'but you
don't come to my church"
And they struck a bargain that the
vicar should advertise the COW and
the man in return should 20 to
church.
Now, unfortunately, the man was
very deaf, and on the Sunday follow

City Of Salt.

in the world is Kelburg, near Cracow,
Poland, for, besides being situated
underground, it is excavated entirely
in rock salt. The inhabitants, to the
number Of 5000, are, of course, work.

the streets and houses are of the
purest white imaginable. One of the
most famous features Of the city is
the cathedral carved in saltand light
ed by electricity, and when the late
Gar Alexander visited it, II years
ago, he was SO fascinated with the
magnificent effect Of the light upon
the crystal walls that he presented
the cathedral with a jeweled altar

DIDN'T WANT HIS LEGS.
Senator Hanna Tells of a Bit of Nc
Kinley Humor.

A1Hlty huMOI
There was considerable solicitude
expressed over the announcement
thatSenator Hanna had been ordered
to bed by his physician and that he
was quite worn out on account of the
hard work of the session, coupled
with the further statement that the
tax upon him in a social way had been
too much for even his strong consti-
tuition. 1t was observed, however,
that he appeared very regularly to at
tend to everything important that
was going onat the capitol. The Ohio
senator recalled a story of the last
presidential campaign. He had been
elected chairman of the national
committee, but on account Of quite
frequent attacks Of rheumatism he
was talking about turning the work
Of the canvass over to some one else.
These reports reached President
Mckinley and he sent for his old
friend.
"What's this l hear, Mark, about
your not going to have active charge
Of the campaign he asked.
"Well," replied Hanna, 81 have
been thinking about it on account Of
my health"
'Tell me what is the matter with
you" said the president.
Senator Hanna then told the presi-
dent that the rheumatism in his leg
gave him a great deal of trouble,
made it rather hard for him to get
about, and perhaps interfered with
his efficiency as a campaign manager.
"Well, Mark" said Mckinley, with
the faintest suggestion of a smile, 81
don't want your legs in this cam
paign."
That ended the discussion.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. dealings in
stocks were so small and the tone of
the trading was so Indifferent to-day
that little significance could be at
tached to the movement of prices
which was very narrow and sluggish,
except in a few individual stocks in
fuenced by special causes. There was
selling of Rock Island induced by the
criticisms of the proposed refunding
bond isuse. Peoples Gas rose more
than a point on the declaration of the
regular quarterly dividend. There was
a gain of point in Mexican Central
on rumors of the taking over of a
lhr=e block by private agreement.
North American had the benefit of
the purchase by a prominent banking
house of the holdings of one Of the
firms which failed last week. The
market was almost wholly made up
of such scattered movements. The
decision in favor of the Northern Sc
curities Company of the suit brought
against it by the state OF Minnesota
caused a per cent. jump in that
stock on the curb, but the response in
the general market was barely percep-
tible, The increase in loans reported
by the bank statement was of more eff
feet, as much had been made by the
speculative element of supposed
heavy contraction to be shown. 1t is
evident that the repayment of the
Pennsylvania notes, which was expect
ed to reduce the loan account of the
banks. has been made in part to the
trust companies. The call for pay
ment of $4,000 900 on the International
Mercantile Marine underwriting and
of $500 900 on the Louisville and
Nashville bond underwriting had to
be provided for. Bankers also report
that there is growing up large sea-
sonable demand for mercantile credits.
It is intimated Furthermore, that there
has been very large liquidation of
loans to trust companies during the
week.
The bond market showed some
breadth and the usual active issues
moved irregularly in sympathy with
stocks. Amongst dormant investment
issues with preceding transactions
dating some time back transfers were
effected only at wide concessions.

TURPENTINE-The turpentine mar
ket took something of a slump to-day.
1t opened dull at SOC, without sales and
closed firm at 491sc, with sales of 165.
This is the first fall of price of any
moment that has taken place since the
rise of the market began that cul-
minated in the outside price of 50Ac,
received during the earlier part of this
week. The falling off is attributed to
neglect of the market by bidders, who
first displayed a tendency to hold off
when soc was reached, and who, though
they finally bought a good many sup
plies at that figure, baked decidedly
when the Nc was added. With the
fall in price to-day, however, a fair
demand developed that was strong
enough to take all the afternoon re-
ceipts. The receipts for the day were

Very DuII-PIenty of Inquiries But
spinners Won't Pay Prices De-
manded - Details of Local and
TeIegrnphic Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Aug. l.
The feature of the local markets to-
day was the decline of turpentine,
which after opening dull at SOC, closed
lac lower. Lack of demand by ex-
norters caused the decline, but as all
of the days receipts were cleaned up
during the afternoon. the market is left
in good condition when trade shall be
resumed Monday. Resins closed firm
and unchanged. All the afternoon Of
ferings were taken at quotation prices.
In cotton there was little business.
Many inquiries are received, but the
small lots of cotton that are to be had
are held at a price that the spinners
won't pay. Cotton mems chief interest
now is in the new crop. This crop, de-
spite the bullish reports that have been
generally current for some time is re-
ported in nearby territory to be in very
good shape. According to reports re-
ceived by Mr.. Gardner E. Dickinson,
in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina
and Mississippi, there is an increase of
acreage over last year. the stands are
good, and the plant well fruited, in
fact the only drawback is that the crop
is some sixteen days late.
In the grain markets there was some
improvement to-day, but in stocks
there was little trading. and the mar
ket closed without feature. Other mar
kets closed the week with little changes.
