NEW YORK. July 2S.-The stock market
continued exceedingly strong today, with
some stocks establishing new high records
of market value. Delaware. Lackawanna
and Western was one of these and Illinois
Central was another.
The advance In Lackawanna has no more

from consideration of the enormous earn

attained currency that some change In
the form of capitalization was In con-

accompanied by a sympathetic advance in
Delaware and Hudson and the other an

large number of so-called railway spe-

The smart advance in Illinois Central was
unquestionably in part due to the covering

the time OF the appearance of yellow fever

JAMESTOWN.
New Jersey to Participate in the Ter
Centennial.

From the Newark Advertiser.
The appropriation of So, coo by the
legislature for participation by the state
in the celebration at jamestown, Va,
of the ter-centennial of the first set
Element on this continent of English
speaking people. to be held In 1907,
was made graceful by the presence of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia before the legis-
lature as its honored guest.
The event that is to be celebrated is of
even more than national interest, since 1t
marks the first planting of the English
speaking race in America, and the begin
ming of a new world empire. 1t was more
than century after the discovery by Co.
Iumbus that in 1906 the London Company,
which had a patent from King James |,
granting the right to trade in south Fr-
ginia, from the thirtyfourth to the thirty
eighth degree of north latitude. sent out
three ships filed only with men to estab-
lish a settlement on Roanoke Island. A
storm drove the vessels into chesapeake
Bay, and they sailed up the James river,
and in May, 1907. the adventures landed
and founded jamestown.
The country was a wilderness, and In
dians and wild beasts abounded. The COL
ony did not thrive and half the number
soon died of disease. To the genius, cour-
age and devotion of Capt. John Smith was
due the preservation of the remainder
Other colonists arrived but many died. and
the discouraged survivors were about to
abandon jamestown. when Lord Delaware,
the new governor, arrived with reinforce
ments and supplies. Thereafter the colony
prospered and new settlements were form
ed. Virginia became a royal province in
1924, when the London Company was dis
solved, and It continued so for a century
and half down to the period OF the revo-
luton. The first settlers of jamestown
were mostly of the class that leave their
country for their countrys good but sub
sequently families Of real immigrants ar
rived and formed the nucleus of the First
Families of Virginia OF today. The set
Element OF jamestown was a world event.
1t was in 1920 that the Mayfower, with its
101 pilgrims. sailed from Plymouth, Eng
land. and landed on the shores of Massa-
ehusetts to found Plymouth. This was thir-
teen years later. That, too. was a world
event. Hendrix Hudson discovered the
river that bears his name in 1909. and the
Dutch established trading posts on Man
haitian Island, but II was not until 1923
that New Amsterdam was founded by the
first Dutch colonists.

ANCIENT AFFAIRS FROM SPAIN.
Relics From an Old Monastery Chapel
Near Seville Cost $4,000.

From the New York Herald.
In the empty gymnasium of the long
closed Knickerbocker Athletic Club build
ing, at Madison avenue and 45th street, a
private view was given Friday Of three re-
markable old affairs from the chapel of the
Monastery of Our Lady of Consolation, in
the town of Utrera, near Seville, Spain.
These affairs, the main and largest of which
has been set up in the gymnasium, so that
1t is seen in all its beauty and noble archi
lecture and proportions, are of carved
wood, richly ornamented, gilded and paint
ed, with many finely executed life size and
smaller figures of the Madonna and saints.
They were procured in Utrera from the
monks of the monastery by an agent OF
Mr.. ]. Alexander Hayden of this city, at
a cost of between $4,000 and $4,000, and
were brought here at further great ex-
pense and labor. The affairs are wonder
fully well preserved, and the main one could
be set up as it is in a museum or church
without change, alteration restorat ton.
Dating from 1851 the main altar recalls
the great one in the cathedral in Mexico
City, although smaller. 1t measures how
ever. forty-five feet in height by twenty
six in width. The side affairs are not as
high: The monks and officials of the church
in Ctrera only consented to the sale for
the reason that they wished to have the
money to use in the erection of schools and
other educational institutions, which they
deemed would be of more value to the peo-
pie or Utrera than the affairs themselves
These remarkable works We're fashioned
In period of Spanish art in which flour

ceding that of Murillo, Ribera and other
great Spanish painters. The churches and
their decorations and architecture of Mex
leo and Spanish America were built and
adorned in the same period This accounts
Tor the striking resemblance of the main
altar now here to that of the Mexican
cathedral.

is found big at the front the first part of
the winter will be most severe; If the re-
verse is true, we may look for hard weather
in February and March. Bright northern
lights" bring severe cold. Sun dogs indi-
cate a bad storm.
Distant sound heard distinctly forebodes
no good weather. If the sun draws up
water" it will rain. The pitcher sweating
and the tea kettle boiling dry also indicate
rain. Cobwebs thickly spread upon the
grass are an indication of fair weather.
Animal life seems, according to the popular
notion to have peculiar warnings regarding
the weather changes. Some of these are
eXplainable by natural causes. 1t Is fact
recognized by all intelligent stockmen that
cattle have an intimation of an approach
ing storm some hours before it is visible 10
the human eye. There is certain restless
ness which the cowboy has learned to in
terpret at once.
When you see pig pasturing in the field
build for itself a nest you may look for
storm. Chickens take extra pains in oil
ing their feathers Just before a rain. Pea
fowls send forth their shrill cries as a
warning. and when the quail cries more

RECKLESS SLAUGHTER OF GAME
Birds and Animals Killed by Mercen-
airy Hunters and Trappers.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The mercenary hunter and trapper who
has been responsible for the extinction of
valuable animals and birds in older sec
tons of the United States is now plying
his trade In Indian Territory, in spite of the
strict game laws in force. The Indian
agent has discovered that quail trappers
are making a systematic campaign against
this class of birds by trapping them and
sending them out of the territory. While
waiting for a train at Crowder City the
other day Agent Schoenfelt noticed COM
motion in several boxes and upon investi
CATION found that they were filled with live
quail which were billed to Anthony, Kan.
He ordered them released. and at least
5000 full-grown birds few away toward the
neighboring fields. Last year the agent dis
covered 5000 live quail at Pauls alley.
which were about to be shipped TO New
Zealand to a firm that is trying to estab-
lish these birds in that country.
The professional quail trapper is probably
the greatest enemy of the true sportsman
of Indian Territory. He stretches a large
net in the tall grass. and then drives the
birds along the ground until they are
within it's reach. when the ends are closed
in upon them and they are prisoners in its
meshes. The Indian policemen, through the
instructions of the Indian agent. have been
releasing large numbers of quail this year
which have been caught in this way and
wherever the trappers can be found they
are being arrested. In order to make the
Indian policemen more vigilant they are
allowed to keep any game that they con-
fiscate which has been killed by hunters
When they confscate live game it is always
released.
One of the great menaces to the game of
Indian Territory is the professional trapper
of fur-bearing animals, who travels over
the country plying his trade at different
seasons in the sections of the country
where he will get best results. In certain
portions of the Blue river thousands of
beavers build their dams These animals
are easily trapped, and the professional
trapper catches them by the hundreds II
allowed to work unhindered. The Indian
police are instructed to keep close watch
on these streams and to arrest all persons
who attempt to trap or kill the beaver

BREAD TO BE DEARER.
Brains Needed in the Profitable Con-
Duct of a Farm.


Your Uncle Samuel, through his best
friend. Secretary Wilson. is sending out a
notice to the people that If they want to eat
white bread they must bestir themselves.
The Malthusian doctrine is working very
rapidIy and surely in this country. The
popula ton is increasing in geometrical ra-
ito while the production of wheat, so far
from increasing in an arithmetical ratio. is
absolutely declining. This was of no vast
importance SO long as we had surplus,
but last year there was not much more rails
ed than was consumed. SO that we imported
a large amount from Canada and ground it
for export. At this rate in few years we
will be regular importers of wheat.
The reason for this as Is pointed out, lies
In the fact that the American farmer takes
so little care In raising wheat. He averages
only eight bushels TO the acre. while the
European average Is thirty bushels. The
soil In this country Is as good, but the
American farmer uses little discretion either

WEATHER SIGNS.
Simple Indications by Which Rain or
Sunshine Can Be Foretold.

From Putnam's Magazine.
If 1t clears off in the night, look for rain
the next day. If smoke from the chimney
settles instead of rising there is a storm at
hand. When sound travels a long distance
there is also storm near. Never expect
much storm in the old of the moon. The
absence of dew and unusually heavy dew
are alike forerunners of rain. Not much
frost need be expected in the light of The
moon.
An owl hooting in the hollow Is a sign of
a cold storm; on the hill, it foretells thaw.
If the hornets build low the winter will be
hard. When leaves fall early the winter
will be long. When snow falls on a hard
road it will not last long. The last spring
snow storm never comes until after the

SOME ODD LEATHEHS.
sr~p.r~a From the skins of Various
Asustic Animals.


Leather Is prepared from the hides OF
nearly all aquatic animals. principally
the senI whale, porpoise. alligator and
WARNS The use OF these hides is al
most "a old as man himself, aud they
have ever been most eagerly sought
after for the many uses TO which they
could be put after being prepared as
leather Al the time OF the Russian
occupation OF Alaska they made great
use OF walriIs hides. Furs were usual
ly wrapped llp in these skins. and when
they reached klachta. China, the great
mart OF those days, the skin was sewed
over chests Of tea. ON arrival at Mos
COW the soundest portions were re-
moved. cut up and stamped Into ko-
pecks aud variety OF small change.
This formed the chief currency Of Alas
LA for time. The Russians also made
harness OF walrus leather. while the
natives OF Alaska used the skin ~ a
covering for their boats.
A queerer kind OF leather. however.
comes from the bodies Of fishes. An
extremely line quality OF green leather
made In Turkey is manufactured from
the skin Of an ugly fish called the angel
fish. The sword grips of the German
army are made from shark leather
which Is beautiful In pattern. being
marked with dark diamond shaped fix.
ures This skin comes from n North
sea shark called the diamond shark
Leather manufacturers have tried TO
produce substitute from animal
hides. but In vain. Unlike animal leath
er. fish leather is absolutely impervious
TO water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore II is ideal for
sword grips. as. no matter how much
the hand may perspire. the grip re-
mains hard and dry.
Leather Is made from the skin Of the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon.
which is exceedingly tough and Is used
in making laccs for Joining leather
betting. In Canada the skin OF spe.
cies 81 silurold i used In making
gloves.
