NEW YORK. June 18, 1904

The dullness of the market was brok-
en- somewhat last week by little splurge
in Sumatra, for which there had sud-
denly sprung up an active demand. This
proves the shortage of wrapper leaf in
cigar factories not only but also an i'm
provement in the outlook of our cigar
industry. The Havana market likewise,
continues to be strong. There is no
abatement in the demand for factory
Vegas, and old Remedies are also selling
quite freely. Only in domestic leaf the
demand seems to be at standstill.
There is certainly no speculative move
ment in it and this is probably more be-
cause the stock is SO thoroughly depleted
than on any other account.-Journal.

old Egyptian, the classical tongue or the old empire, had ceased to be spok- en, it led an artificial life as learned language, playing much the same part as Latin played in medieval Europe. and was regularly employed for relig- ious and monumental purposes down to the Roman period. Then followed the middle Egyptian, representing an inter mediate stage between the language Of the old and new empire.
 In it most of the old forms and infec- tions are retained. but some of the peeuliarities of the later speech make their appearance. this being the Neo- Egyptian or popular language about B.. c. 15O0-100O. 1t is represented by a number of papyri containing tales, poems, letters and legal documents From about B. c. 700 to the Christian era the language of the Egyptian peo- pie was the demotic, about which com paratively little is known; and 1t was succeeded by the language of Christian Egypt, or Coptic, written in modifica- ton of the Greek alphabet with the addition of characters derived from the demotic. As d spoken language it per ished about 300 years ago. but is still employed in the ritual of the Coptic church. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

She was extensively eele- brated as a money winner during the past season. The fine and fast paeer B. s. Dillon. 2:16K, owned by J. H. Dil- lon. was next exhibited to the visitors. This pacer was sired by Sidney Dillon, sire of the celebrated Lou Dillon 1:5S1z. and was a very profitable horse for his owner during the 1908 season. Another fast horse in the stable is owned by friend of Mr. Bronson. The gray pony that was exhibited was much admired.
 When the party assembled in one of the parlors a flash light picture of the visitors in group was taken.
 The banquet table to which the guests were invited was as handsome as the caterers art could make it. Fruits, flowers, viands and expensive decora- tions made the tables unusually attrac- tive. Some idea of the extent of the dinner may be gained from the fact that MT. Bronson ordered his caterer to provide twenty-five courses, exclusive of the wines, which were of many diff ferent kinds. After about a dozen courses had been served. the gentlemen present were called on for brief speech es. John H. Dillon acted as toastmas- ter. W. A. Stout, who drove MT. Bronson's race winner during the past season, was one of the first to respond. His short speech was very original and appropriate, although he stated that he was not a professional after-dinner speaker.
 Many of the horse fanciers and others were delighted to have MT. Stout pres ent, as the banquet was arranged partly as compliment to him. He arrived in this city yesterday afternoon. and will be MT. Bronson's guest for a few days. Taking the occasion altogether it was an evening of banquet, toasts, songs, short speeches, social enjoyment with the after dinner cigars, and merry mak- ing which was much appreciated. WeiPs orchestra furnished music.
 The following gentlemen were pres ent: T. F. Young of New Milford. Frank Quinn, John H. Dillon, Charles R. Wa terhouse, E. J. Shipman, Frank L. New ton, Matthew Dunn, J. Wesley Platt, F. A. Dickerson, J. Edward Geary, M. c. Murphy the Yale trainer, Steven Johns, and George Nesbit, all of this city; W. A. Stout of Indianapolis, B. w. Bright of Springfield. Mass; W. S. Crofut of Derby, Thomas Gallagher of Walling- ford, and Walter Crockett of Foxon.

EGYPTIAN LANGUAGES.

Forthcoming Dictionary Compiled by
 Berlin Academy of Sciences.
 A brief dispatch from Berlin conveys intelligence which will thrill the heart of every scholar It announces the near completion of Professor Erman's mon umenta1 Dictionary of the Ancient Egyptian Languages" work endowed by the kaiser compiled by the Berlin Academy of Sciences and aided in no small degree by the best American cru dition. Professor Erman, the editor, is easily the foremost Psychologist of the world, though he has toiled in a field wherein there has been friendly conten- ton for many years among the scholars of France, England, Germany, Italy and America.
 The field has been so fertile that the forthcoming dictionary is credited with contairing 2S0,000 words or subjects. We shrewdly suspect that the cable gram has confused the Egyptian word with the ideogram, which is only pie ture or a, pictorial symbol.
 The oldest records of the Egyptian language date back to about B. c. 4000, and it did not die out as a tongue until about three centuries ago. Professor Erman's great book will, of course, em- brace its long history and the many changes 1t underwent.
 In one of his own published mono graphs on the subject he shows how the language of the old Egyptian empire was no more intelligible to an Egyptian of the nineteenth dynasty, for example, than Latin would be to the average Italian of the present day. Long after

A MAN STABBED

Tn a Free-For-All F1ght-Billiard and
 Pool Balls, Cues and Glasses Were
 Smashed.
 At half-past ten o'clock last night a bad fight occurred in Dominic Clara miller's saloon at 274 Water street. The fight started between Gilbert Cannon, now or formerly of 2S Wallace street, and John F. McGuinness of 109 Portsea street and they fought furiously both in the saloon and out on the street. The proprietor and Raffaele Guadagno of "A Hill street, forty-three years old, took hand in it. During the course of events beer glasses and pool and bil- Hard balls were hurled about and sev- era cues broken.
 The fight was stopped by the arrival on the scene of Sergeant Doherty and Patrolmen Birmingham, Bingham and Sessler
 Cannon, McGuinness and Guadagno were all placed under arrest and charg- ed with breach of the peace. Gannon's head was cut with pool cue, and Guadagno was stabbed in the chest but the knife glanced, making only flesh wound. He was attended by physi- elan at headquarters anl later released on $100 bail furnished by friends. The other two men are held.

HAIR BY THE CARLOAD.
Hundreds of Tons Are Imported t

Hundreds of Tons Are Imported to
 Be Made Into Rats"
 Since the revival of the pompadour style of dressing womens hair and the use of the ''rat' there has been a tremendous increase in the importation of human hair. It is estimated 100 tons of hair, valued at $S,OO000O, have been received at this port this year. This doesn't represent one-half the expense the style has entailed upon women, for it has given decided impetus to hair dressing business. Three times as many New York women now patronize hairdressers as did a few years ago. With women of fashion the hair dresser is looked upon now as a necessity.
 In most of the fashionable hairdress- ing shops of Fifth avenue and it's vicinity comparatively few women are em- ployed. Formerly women did all the work, patrons being reluctant to have their hair dressed by men, but the pre- judice soon wore off. and now the we'll groomed women seem to think that only the man hairdresser who has studied the business abroad is artistic.
 The hairdressers say this promises to be a great country for their business. The women of America have less hair than the women of Europe. The quail ty is about the same, but there seems to be something in the climate of the Uni ted States or in the habits of the people that is not conducive to women's hair growing as luxuriously as it does abroad.
 Large as was the value of the hair inn ported this year the value of fine toilet articles was far greater About eighty five per cent. of the amber and tortoise shell goods, perfumes, powders and cos metics used in America are brought from across the water.-New York Press

 Of course it was nobody's business: nevertheless after they had gone all through the flat and admired the furni- ture and the draperies, the woman who holds to the belief that thoughts shut up are bad for the mind, said to the host ess: ''It Is very nice; but it must have cost a good deal"
 The three other callers murrnured sM-m-m" in tones of disapproval. The hostess smiled.
 "It was rather expensive" she said..'I paid more for the things than I really should have paid. I couldn't have done it if I had to pay cash. I am buying them on subscrlption.'
 "On what?" asked the woman of plain speech.
 ''Subscription, repeated the hostess
 The four callers exchanged inquiring glances, but even the open minded one refrained from further comment until they got into the street, then three of them saidi "Well, what>do tTou think of it2'' in chorus.
 The talkative woman soon let them know what she thought of it. T think 1t affectation of the rankest kind" she declared. Buying on subscription, in- deed! What nonsense! Books can be bought that way, but who ever heard of buying anything else that way?'
 q have" said the fourth woman. My husband told me about it last night. It is the latest style in commercial terms, and he thinks it is going to be quite popular. It has 8 genteel Nng. To say you are buying things on the install- ment plan doesn't sound nearly so well. The public taste is fastidious these days, and the time is probably at hand when we will buy ever our groceries on subscription. .''-New York Times.

Where the Congregations of Cardinals
 Are Housed.
 Only small part of the business of the Holys See is transacted at the Vati- can. The official organization of the Catholic church Is quite as large as that of the Kingdom of Italy, excepting it's army and navy, or any of the minor powers of Europe; for you must re- member that the Pope has a parish of more than 250,000,000 souls, which in- cludes every civilized nation and mis- sionary enterprises among the unciv- ilized from the Arctic snows to the jun- gles of the Equator. All this is looked after by staff of officials whose names fill a volume of 15O pages, and it in- cludes only those of responsibility. The different departments presided over by the several cardinals of what Is known as the curia, are scattered over the city. The propaganda f1de, which is the most important, and has jurisdiction over all the world except Europe, occupies an immense building on the Piazza de Spagna, and there Cardinal Gotti, the fred pope' as they called him, because of his enormous power, presides. The congregation of studies is under Cardi- nal Satolli, who lives in q new wing of the old Palace of St. John Lateran, which was occupied by the popes for a thousand years before they moved into the Vatican.
 A number of the other departments have their offices at the Palace of the Cancelleria, built in 1494 for Cardinal Riario, who was the power behind the throne untl the Borgas obtained control of the Vatican and had the unique honor of being nephew of two Popes- Julius H.. and sixtus ". This huge structure, which was built of material taken from the Coliseum and from the ruins of the palaces of the Caesars, is regarded as the most beautiful example of early Renaissance architecture in Rome, and the interior court, or patie, which is very large, is surrounded by cloisters supported by forty-four granite columns that were originally in the theater of Pompey. This palace was the seat, of the apostolic courts of jus tice during the reign of the papacy in Italy, and here the Roman parliament. summoned by Plus K. in 1S4S assem- bled.
 The Cancelleria, the neighboring chuchof St. Andrew, and other buildings in the neighborhood cover the site of Ponpey's theater in which Julius Caesar was assassinated. On one of the neighboring streets you can see the columns inbedded in the walls where the builders bricked up the spaces be- tween them. The capitals project few inches, and, strange to say, the carving is preserved without bruise or blemish.
 It is generally supposed that Caesar was assassinated in the Forum, but at that time the Senate house was in ruins

HORSES FOND OF BEER.
Why Animals that Draw Beer Wagons
 Are So Fat

Why Animals that Draw Beer Wagons
 Are So Fat
 Fully one-half of the horses used by the brewers of Washington said a fat and ruddy driver of one of the big wagons, are beer swillsrss and there are horses belonging .to dur company which will not leave the delivery yards until they have had their bucket of beer in the morning and at lunch time. They have acquired a, taste for the beverage, and they refuse to do their work until they have been supplied. Now say the horses acquire taste for beer, but I guess I. am wrong about that, for it is my candid, opinion that horses naturally love beer They seem to have the same taste for it that hogs have for the mash and beer from the still-houses. It is a well-known fact that in running down and locating illicit stills in the mountain districts the re- venue officers are frequently aided fiji their work by watchingsthe hogs, the razor-backs sniffing the mash for two miles distance.
 Our horses fatten on beer, and it is a noticeable fact that the ones drinking the most beer keep in the best physical condition and can do the most hard driving. The horses draw the line on state beer. and one of them will have to be powerful dry in the throat before he will drink 1t, but give him a bucket of fresh beer, and 1t will soon disappear, and he will neigh for more. Drivers, helpers and horses are allowed a liberal supply of the fluid by the company, and I would do without my mugs before I would see my horses go thirsty.''- Washington Post.

 One of the most extensive and expen- sive banquets that can be imagined was prepared by J. H. Bronson at his chapel street residence last evening, when his invited guests to the number of about twenty five assembled to enjoy his hos pitality. The gentlemen present com- posed merry party that seldom, if ever had a more social and pleasant evening. The house was brilliantly illuminated and beautifully decorated-sfnilax, orna- mental plants, fragrant pinks, Ameri- can beauty jack roses and other rare flowers in full bloom lent their beauty to the occasion.
 As there were many horse fanciers in the party, the gentlemen were invited to MT. Bronson's fine stable to look at the fast horses. The attention of the visitors was called to MT. Bronson's S race winner. Coast Marie, 2:141A, a
