New York.-According to Capt.
Mark Kerr of the British flagship
Drake, souvenir seekers have been as
busy rs bees on board that vessel dur
ing its stay here. The captain re-
ports large number of things miss
ing.
Il must say you people take the
cake as souvenir hunters" said Capt.
Kerr, smiling. In all the various
points we have called at in the course
or our present tour we have never
missed so many things from this shin
as has been the case during our pleas
ant stay here. You have simply
swooped down on us like a hawk on

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
general tone 10 the market here was
rnther better the past week than IL
has been for some time, and dealers
are beginning to feel that the worst is
over. Receipts have dropped on con-
siderably at all points. and II Is gen
orally believed that the run from now
on will not be 80 heavy, and that there
will be slight reaction in prices.
The quality of the cattle on sale mere
last week was fair. but nothing extra.
Buyers were plentiful and the oe-
mand good. but unfavorable adylces
from eastern points made the trade
little slow early in the week. The
late trading was more active anu
prices on this market closed the week
strong to dime higher on good cattle
and fully steady on the poorer kinds.
Beef steers were scarce and the mar
ket quiet.
There was good demand for the
best and packers were unable TO get
as many as they would have liked
Cows were also scarce and good ones
sold well. The demand was fair Tor
the medium kinds, but not very strong.
Bulls were wanted, especially those
suitable for feeding purposes, and buy
ers would have taken a good many
more had they been offered. Veals
were quiet and the market little
draggy The demand for feeders and
stockers was good.
The unfavorable condition of the
Eastern markets during the first few
days of the week had the effect of
making the trade here little slug
gish, but the general tone was much
better during the last few days ana
the week closed in very good shape,
with prices stronger to dime higher.
The supply of hogs was very good
and they moved well, but packers com
plain that they are not getting enough
of the light-weights. At this time OF
the year the demand is much the best
for the lighter hogs. but the bulk or
those coming now are heavy. Prices
are dime to 15c lower than week
ago.
Sheep receipts for the week just
past were over 10000 head, making the
total for the year thus far over 6O0,-
900. Most of these were going through
to the feed lots and were not offered
here, but several lunches went on sale
and were closed out readily, as the
demand is good. Prices are little
lower than a week ago.

SEQ Diamonds in Farms.

Because of recent reports of dia-
mond discoveries in Indiana the fed
eral officials in Chicago are inundated
with inquiries from holders of back
woods land in the Hoosier State who
see themselves in prospect the proprie-
tors of rich diamond mines.
In response to the inquiries the Of
fcials have exhumed these facts rela-
tive to the diamond finds in the United
States:
Octahaedral diamond, weighing
24.75 Carats, found in 1854 at Man
chester, opposite Richmond, Va; cut
to a gem weighing 11.34 carats.
About 100 stones, weighing from
OPS carat to 5 carats each, found in
North Carolina and Georgia.
About 200 stones, Weighing from
0.5 carat to 4 carats each, found in
California.
Two small diamonds found in
Southern Indiana.
Seven small stones, o n weighing
as much as 1 carat, found at Plum
Greek, Pierce County, Wis.
A few isolated finds reported from
Idaho, Arizona, Arkansas and Ken
tucky.
To all the inquirers the answer is
returned that the chances for diamond
finding are decidedly remote.

Singapore Is Hottest City Tourists

Singapore, as the crossroads of two

The travellers up from Java, in from

COON must transship in Singapore, and
all the great mail steamers must stay
n day to coal for the run to either Co

have cargo to put OH and off.
A ship tied fast to the wharf, where
corrugated iron sheds in long rows
diffuse a heat as great as the suns, is
the hottest thing i'll the tropics, and
the passengers usually scatter to the
deep verandas of the uptown hotels,
far beyond the business quarters.
There the breeze ripples fresh down
the long draft of the straits, peddlers
and money changers lie in wait, and
there Is much to entertain one.
The larger hotel Is the most impos-
ing building in Singapore, a cream col
ored palace of many wings and lofty
arcades, and the living arrangements
are all unique. Every room has it's
own tubless bathroom, Il cement floor,
a spigot from the municipal pipes, a

The lumber for use in this part OF
the country will come from the Pa
cihc coast and the South in the future,
and all lumber will be higher In price,
says c. G.. Forster of the Forster Lum-
Der Company, of Marinette, in speak
ing of the great shortage in the iunl-
Der output of Wisconsin.
AS the lumber stocks in Wisconsin,
Michigan. Iowa and Minnesota Aug. !
were Just O 100000 feet short, in
comparison with the stocks in those
states Aug. /, 1904, it is not difficult
to figure out that the middle west
soon will be compelled to turn to new
lumber regions for the average sup
plies.
The business in nearly all the Wis
consin lumber centers is rapidly drop
ping off. For instance, at Ashland
the lumber mills have dropped down
to three at the present time; at Bay
field only a few are left; only two
mills are running at Menominee, where
there were formerly nine large ones;
Marinette, which had eight or nine,
o. has five or six, and at Muskegon,
Mich, where several years ago fifty
mills were running, to-day there Is
only one. That is the way the bust
ness has dropped off, and the soft
lumber of Wisconsin and Michigan
has practically disappeared. The Nam
istee Lumber Company has closed it's
mills for all time, as the lumber is all
gone.
In discussing the question Of the
removal of the great forests q large
Wisconsin lumber dealer said:
THE people who shout about the
destruction Of the great forests seem
to forget that for every first crop OF
timber removed endless crops of food
stuffs are raised without any trouble,
as it has been found that cleared tim

soil to be found, and with the removal
of the timber, which is made into lum-
Der for houses, nature steps in and
presents a magnificent farm that food
stuffs may be raised in abundance, SO
that the compensation for the removal
OF the timber would seem to be am.

he is one Of the most nervous Of NOR
tails. He shifts from one foot to the
other, PAGES two or three steps back
ward, forward or sidewise, shakes
hands with this one, speaks to that
one, returns a salute, always moving,
constantly doing, and never for q mo-
ment ceasing to give pent-up energy
vent in n way or another, says a
writer in Success. He rises early and
is in his office, arranging affairs of
state, when most of the other SOY
ereigns Of the world are still in bed
that is to say, he is customarily at
work by 6 o'clock. He finds such
early habits absolutely necessary If
he is daily to accomplish the task
which he sets for himself, for, on an
average, besides signing innumerable
documents, every one Of which he
reads himself, and holding countless
conferences with ministers and chiefs

he either writes himself or dictates an
average of twenty letters a day.
1t has always been q habit Of the
kaiser to do what has to be done, and
to do it at once. Even on the morning
of his marriage ne appeared at the
barracks at Potsdam at 6 o'clock to
give a medal to a sergeant-major. He
was then simply Prince. William, but
to the officers, who We're astonished
to see him at such a moment, he said:
Il am only doing my duty" Later,
as emperor, he has said: ut is not
necessary that l live, but it Is essen
tial that I work"
Once on his way to catch a train,
and having an hour to spare, he
stopped to chat with the Austrian am
bassador. Suddenly he exclaimed:
Horrors! I am late. Pray connect
your telephone with my castle, that
I may bid my wife good-by."
They called up the castle, but the
empress was not there. Presently a
carriage drove up to the embassy and
out jumped the empress. She threw
her arms around the emperor's neck,
kissed him repeatedly, then turned to
the ambassador and said: II beg Aus
