languages In common with anglo
Saxon" have the same word for
thing and Council" In modern
English a trace of the second sense
survives in the word "hustings," which
came to mean the public platform

election time, though originally the
busting" was the council at which
the candidate was selected. the
"housething' or house council.

Wool Prices Have Advanced.

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-The extra.
ordinary situation in the wool mar.
ket has developed violent upheavals
in prices in this city, as we'll as in
other commercial centers of the coun.
try. Jumps OF several cents pound
are frequently noticed on the same
day. An instance of this was the re-
cent sale of a lot of secured wool at
ST cents, which was sold to third
party at 50 cents and to fourth
party at 63 and IS cents on the same
day.
The effect of such transactions is
demoralizing to the general trade.
Since last spring the price has in
creased from 20 to 81 cents per pound,
a gain of from 30 to 40 per cent.
Manufacturers are endeavoring to es.
tablish moderate advances in the
price of their goods, to make up the
increased cost of raw material. That
there is shortage of wool no one de.
nies, but it is believed that the pres
ent price will more than discount any
shortage.

StOckrncn Make Protest.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The inter.
state commerce commission today
heard arguments in the case Of the
Cattle Raisers' association Of Texas
against practically all of the rail.
roads running south or from Chicago
except the Great Northern and Union
Pacific.
The charge includes the statement
that the freight on cattle from the cat
tle.raising states to the cattle markets
is unjust and excessive, and that the
terminal charges at Chicago are un.
just, the rate for feeding cattle en-
route is excessive, that the freight
rates for the shipment of cattle have
been raised from to 8 percent. per
100 pounds since 1898, and that the
present service is not as good as the
former. In answering the charges the
railroads do not deny the increased
rates, but do deny that the higher
rates are un Just or excessive.

A New Aerial Torpedo,

NEW York, May 26.-Joseph J. Nc.
Iutyre, president of the American Pro-
jectile Manufacturing company, has
again demonstrated the power and ef-
ficiency of new weapon OF his own
invention, which he declares, may
revolutionize the modern methods of
warfare under certain conditions.
The new projectile is practically an
aerial torpedo, shaped like and ope-
rated In the manner of huge rocket.
The shells arc fired at any angle or
trajectory, rapidly sailing a distance
of 1000 yards to mile. Immediately
on striking any object they explode
with terrific force, scattering q hail of
shrapnel steel bullets over an area
400 or 500 feet in circumference.
1t Is claimed by the company that
the aerial torpedoes can be easily car.
ried about, SO rockets being q light
load for a pack mule over rough coun-
try, and in case OF accident all possi-
bility OF premature explosion has been
guarded against.
