PIGMY MARRIAGES.

Some hitherto unpublished facts about
the habits of the African pygmies are
contained in a pamphlet just published
by Colonel Harrison. who brought from
Central Africa the party of little people
now in London. The pygmies generally
marry at the age of eight or nine. and
the men buy their wives with three or
four spears and ten 10 fifteen arrows,
according to the market value of the
lady They pay by instailments. and not
until the last arrow IS handed over is
the lover allowed to take his bride A
man may have as many wives as he can
afford to buy. The birth of a boy is wei
coined. but when girl baby arrives the
unfortunate creature IS soundly Iashed
by the father with a bunch OF plantair
leaves.

EXEMPT LIST BIG FACTOR
At Assessors Figures It Is Valued at

Probably $4,000, ,oo,o 900.

NEW YORK, July 15.-From the
exempt tax list, as published today in
the city record, some IDEA of the value
of earth in that part OF the globe COW
cred by New York city may be gather
ed. The total estimated value of rea.
property which pays no taxes is more
than one billion dollars, and as most of
the items in the list are underestimated.
1t is safe to say that the real worth OF
the property is more than two billions.
Adding this to the more than five
billions of real estate which is taxed.
1t will be seen that the dirt value Of
the town is more than seven billions Of
dollars, or, written in figures, $1,000, ,00e, ,00O
Uncle Sam Figures Largely.
! The United States has much valuable
| property which escapes the tax gather
| er. Governors Island, for instance, $
valued at s5,575,o00, which Is less than
| half the figure it would bring if sold.
The old custom house is put down at

| Another freak of the calculator who
| fixed the exempt values is seen in the
hall of records, which is placed at
s., ,250, ,060 1t has cost arout 100000 al
ready. and will reach S, ,0OO, 900 before il
is completed. The postoffice site down
town is valued at $40, 100000. and il
could easily be sold for twice the

Hold Sunset Concert.


Seeing nothing of the kind. however.
NJ. Thornton asked his oarsman where
the noise came from, and was told that
it was a kind of fish called by some
sirens and by others ''rnusicos." Ad-
vancing a little farther a multitude OF
different voices were heard, that imi-
lated perfectly the lower and middle
tones of a church organ, heard outside
the building. as in the church porch.
The concert began about sunset and
continued several hours, the executants
not being disturbed by the presence of
men, but not showing themselves at
the surface of the water
Another traveller. LIE Mosie, describes

Fascinating Stories Told Of
Marine ChOruses.
ORGAN NOTES INITIATED
Legend of Sirens Probably Due to
Musical Abilities of Some of
Oceans Denizens.

LONDON. July S.-Do fish sing? 1t
is said they do. and it Is possible that
from their music has arisen the legend
of the singing of the sirens of the sea.
Some most fascinating stories have
been told of these musical sounds Of
the ocean which are attributed to sing
ing fish. Humboldt tells how, beins in
the South Sea, the whole crew became
frightened by strange noise that re-
sembled the beating of drums in the
open air. 1t was at first thought that
this noise was produced by the wind,
but soon it Was heard clearly alongside
the ship, chiefly forward.
1t resembled the noise OF boiling
water when the bubbles burst. Then
ii was feared that the ship had sprung
a leak, but the noise extended success
sively to all parts of the vessel, and
about 9 a. m. 1t ceased entirely. 1t was
afterward accredited to sounds pro-
duced by shoals of fish.
Like Organ Notes.
Lieutenant John White, of the United
States navy, reports that when in the
mouth of the Cambodia river he and
his party heard extraordinary sounds
| around the ship. They We're like the
! mixture of the bass notes of an organ,
the ringing of bells, the cultural cries
of a hugh bullfrog and noises that
seemed TO come from an enormous
j harp.
They seemed to shake the very vessel
These noises increased and finally
formed a universal chorus on both side:
| of the ship and along It's entire length
! AS the party ascended the river tn.
sounds weakened, and then ceased en-
| tirely.
The interpreter told them that the
cause was a shoal of fish of fat oya
FORM which had the power Of adherins
strongly to various bodies by the mouth
The pogonias or drumfish, which in
habit the Atlantic coast, also maxi
noises that are often heard at great dis
| tances. 1t is thought-but this IS no
certain-that the noise Is produced b.
rubbing the pharyngian teeth together
| In the fresh water of the Rio Natal
and the Rio del Molino are found mu
sical fish. which, because Of this pecu
liarity, are called by the natives b,
the name Of "musicos.

The Cotton Market.

Messrs. Hayward, Harris d
Goldstein report big slump in
the cotton market on account of
the government report on the
condition of the crop. This re-
port was issued last Friday. and
is based on conditions as they
existed on May 25th, the date on
which the figures EN- braced in
the report were compiled. This
estimate places the condition of
the crop at 772 and the reduction
of acr cage at ia per cent
These figures we're lower than
had been anticipated, and as
result there was an instantane-
Gus break in the market. which
went of nearly fifty points from
the highest price of the week.
By an error on the part of the
telegraph company the figures
received in New Orleans placed
the present condition of the crop
at 75.2 instead of 772, and as
result thereof July futures jun p
ed from $50 to 80. When the
correct figures were received,
however. prices dropped to 8.17,
a falling Of 80 points. This bull
on the part Of the telegraph caus-
ed the loss of a considera BILE sum
of money, and it is said that a
number Of damage suits will fol-
low.
There was no market report
from New Orleans yesterday, the
exchange having been closed on
account of Memorial Day. At

just closed. Prof. .Speigle has
rendered his resignation, and as
Miss Kennebrew has been in bad
health for some time past the
art department has been sus-
pended.
The same faculty that taught
at Union Academy last session
was reelected.
In his annual report to the
board of ustees, which was
filed at this meeting, Superin-
tendent Cook recommends that
four additional teachers be en-
ployed. and urges the necessity
OF at once undertaking the cree
ton of a new school building
The increase in the mum Der of
pupils has been SO large. that it
has become impossible to get
along with the present buildings
and teaching force, both of
which must be increased before
the beginning of next season. The
report. which is pregnant with
interest and information, is too
long to find space in this issue,
but it will be published in full
next Wednesday.

Paws Dividend.

The Dodson PlOw Company has
declared dividend of ten per cent
on the preferred and sixteen per
cent. on the common stock. The
company has been organized and
in operation only six months,
and considering the expense and
handicaps usually encountered
in starting a manufacturing
plant of this magnitude, this is a
magnificent showing and argues
well for the future.
The Dodson Plow Com pany has
been merged into the Southern
Agricultural Works, a concern
which will manufacture all kinds
of agricultural implements. Work
on the enlargement of the plant
has begun and it will ultimately
be one of our largest industries
and one of the leading agricul-
tural plants of the South.
