The Stock Market.

Fl. R. Leighton & Co., the Boston
brokers, furnish the following market
gossip:
believe that we are in the midst OF
great bull market. Standard Oil people
have been large buyers ever since the
first of the year, and during the past
week the public buying of stocks has
been on a heavier scale than for over
two years. Several prominent commits
sion houses executed orders for upwards
of 100000 shares on Friday of last
week, and the most of the business was
straight commission business.
Those who are in charge OF the ma ipu-
1ation report that there are few stocks
for sale, and that the selling represents
simply profit taking. London, Berlin
and Amsterdam took large blocks of our
secul tiles last week, and unless all signs
fail a period of great activity in the stock
market is at hand.
Jas. r. Keene has been a power ful
fac or ever since the first of August. He
has been opera ting principally ia B R.
T. and the Steel stocks. John w. Gates
is a very heavy holder of the grangers at
the present time. and there is the very
best OF authority for the statement that
his paper profits since the first of the
present year exceed $12, 100000.
Edwin Hawley is accommodating the M.
K. & T. securities and it is believed be
will be elected to the boar OF directors
IN the near future.

that reaction is due, yet they point out
that the market is in the same condition
that it was just before the election of
Mckinley in 1900. MIR. Keepe at that
time made the prediction that if Nc
Kinley were elected. stock market prices
would fall. and that if Bryan were
elected, they would fall still further. The

he was graduated in 1895, he studied in
the Sheffield Scientific school and pre-
pared himself for the career of an engi-
neer. That he was practical engineer
is evinced by the fact that he has in
vented and patented several devices for
locomotives which have been put into
general use. He has Offices in New York
city, where he employed 40 men, archi-
tects, engineers and draughtsmen, to as
sist him in the minor details Of his work.
His marriage to Miss Grace Wilson
against his fathers wishes caused much
comment in New York and subsequently
caused his father to cut him of almost
entirely in his will. Once when Miss
Wilson had come to New York young
Cornelius was sent to Paris, and when
the Wilson family went to Paris his
father sent secret agents to try and alien
ate the young couple.
After his father death Cornelius forced
the other heirs to give him his share of
the $100,C0O,OOO estate. This was not
absolutely essential to his comfort, as
he had an Independent income of 10000
a year and his bride brought him 81 ,00O,-

After nearly five centuries OF misrep-

ton Of rites of the Roman Catholic
church has taken the first steps toward
the canonization of Joan OF Arc. After
having suffered in her lifetime from the
greed of her own countrymen, represent
ed by her sale to the English by the duke
of Burgundy, by royal ingratitude repre-
sented by the Indifference to her fate
OF the worthless Charles VII, for whom
she saved his throne, by the church itself
as represented by Cauchon, the bishop
of Rouen, who, after declaring her guilty
upon improved charges of heresy, WITCH
craft and communication with evil spir-
its, turned her over to the secular au-
thorities for burning at the stake, which
neither the French nor the English
prevented, she is now declared fit for
beatification.

point of view the rea. story of the peas

Saints Catherine and Margaret by re-

dauphin, by raising the siege of Orleans,
driving the English from most of their
French possessions, and finally by con-
Quoting the dauphin to his coronation at
Rheims, may never be told in all it's
details. Even contemporary historians
differ according to the extent of their in
dividual beliefs in experimentation.
Those who were guilty of her betrayal
and surrender invented all sorts of
charges to excuse their action, and later
historians, unable to account in ma
terial way for her marvellous career,
found themselves either forced to con-
cede that that career was full of miracles
or to doubt her very existence, which
some have done even in the face of hard
facts.

clear that great injustice has been done
to her and to her memory. There never
was more devoted adherent of the
church, perhaps never more deeply re-
ligious visionary than Joan of Arc. No
one can doubt she believed she saw the
figures of her two favorite saints in the
clouds, heard their voices and their an
swers to her when she spoke to them
There was no point in her career when
she did not seek spiritual guidance or
believe she was under the protection of
the saints, until after securing the cor
onation Of the dauphin, which ended her
mission, she remained in the field at his
order and herself acknowledged that her
saints had forsaken her. She was sold
for gold by a greedy duke, one of her
own countrymen, in alliance with the
English. She was delivered by her pur-
chasers to malicious bishop, one of her
own countrymen, who, when he failed
to convict her of heresy, condemned her
upon charges of intercourse with evil
spirits and delivered her to the civil au-
thorities of Rouen, who soon regretted
their action and eventually erected mon
uments to her memory
Joan of Arc was burned at the stake at
Rouen May 30. 1431. She was but IL
when France was overrun with Anglo
Picard and Burgundian troops, and in
alleged visions she declared she had
been called upon to deliver her country.
The dauphin was induced to give her
military command, and in several en-
gagements she defeated the English; but
in 1870 she was captured by the Bur-
gundians at Compiegne and sold to the
English for 10000 francs. She was tried
for sorcery and heresy. and the Uni
versity Of Paris finally pronounced
against her, and though she consented
TO formal abjuration of heresy. she
was executed.

and Its Manifestations, Bat In
Every Way - Spectacular,
and More Useful.

As wonderful in its production Of high
temperatures as liquid air is in its cold
producing properties, ranks thermit, the
A8est invention. This marvellous new
compound, to which its inventor, DIR.
Hans Goldschmidt, of Essen, Germany,
has given the name thermit, is made by
combining in the proper proportions two
elements most frequently occurring on
the earth's surface, namely, oxygen, in
the, form of oxides, and aluminium. the
metal found in common clay.
When these two substances are COM
bined and then ignited an enormously
high temperature, equal to the intense
heat of the electric arc light, is instantly
produced. The exact method Of making
the compound, the simplest way Of, OBJ
tanning the highest calorific value and
the most practicable manner of utilizing
the resultant energy created by this pro-
cess of combustion have opened new

ducing properties ofaluminum were dis
covered, at least SO years ago, the sci

DR.. Goldschmidt to point out and invent

The new wolf bounty law is more
exacting than the old one. The skuv,
hide, both ears and tail of the slain
animal must be exhibited, and at least
two persons must make affidavit that
the animal was killed in the county
from which it is proposed to collect
the bounty. A clause requiring a GER
tificate of good character should have
been added.

Electricity from C.t..

An 1ndianian wants to exhibit at the
worlds fair in st. Louis the most unique
feature yet offered. He promises to gen.
crate electricity from the fur of black
cats. He will have number of these
cats chained in a row and will have
their backs automatically stroked by
machinery, and the electricity thus gen.
Grated from each tabby will be trans
ferred by means of wires to a storage
battery and thence conveyed to the
dynamo, which is movable. The in
ventor is from Posey county, and he
claims to have been experimenting with
the companion Of witches for many
years. His name, however, has not been
given out, and the management has not
passed upon the proposition.
