Engineering Feats of the Ancients.

There is not an engineer in the
world who will not admit that the
marvellous accomplishments of the
ancient Egyptians in building the
pyramids is unparalleled by any mod
ern engineering achievements.
The pyramids of Gizeh, erected
more than 5000 years ago, stand as
the monuments of a departed race.
These vast silent hulks of masonry
are objects of wonder and envy to
the modern engineer. They are per-
feet in masonry, and some of them
contain blocks of stone weighing
from 300 to 500 tons. The most re-
markable thing about the construc-
ton of these pyramids is that the
stone of which they are built must
have been brought hundreds of miles
across deserts and owe mountains.
Even with all the appliances OF
this age, it would have been a well

Recluse,s Library in a Cave.

1.-THE Devils Grotto," a ave near
Beauvoir en- Royans, has been held
in superstitious awe by the residents
in the neighborhood, who lately have
been frightened by reports of mystic
rious lights seen in the cave after
nightfall.
A magistrate and several police
men visited the cave, and on pene.
trating to the interior found a mar
with long matted hair and beard,
who said his name was Andre Faure.
The ave contained an electric gener-
ator, and was brilliantly illuminated.
Faure was fitting up shelves to &C
commodate some thousands of vol
umes which were stacked in the cave.

FIFTEEN KILLED IN WRECK.
Injured Passengers Burned to Death
on the Canadian Pacific.

Fort William, Ont. - Fifteen per-
sons were killed and twenty injured
in the wreck of a Canadian Pacific
passenger train near Chapleau, 800
miles east of here. The train was
thrown from the track by a broken
rail and plunged down an embank-
ment into a small lake. Some of the
injured passengers were pinned in
the wreckage and slowly burned to
death, while others met death in a
more merciful form in the waters of
the lake.
When the train struck the broken
rail five tourist cars hear the middle
of the train broke loose and rolled
down the embankment. One of the
cars was entirely submerged. The
other four stopped closer to the shore
and were only partly covered by
water. The latter caught fire and
the passengers imprisoned in a mass
of wreckage were burned to death.

New York City.-Specia dispatches
to the Tribune from three of the
country's great centres of trade
Pittsburg, st. Louis and Chicago
show no appreciable falling off in
business. The opinions of fnanciers,
manufacturers and business men in
general are uniformly optimistic, and
do not reflect the pessimism expressed
by James ]. Hill, Mr.. Schiff and Mr.
Belmont in recent interviews.
Pittsburg expects some slackenine

any real business depression. Men
high in the steel trade say there can
be no depression there this year or
next.
st. Louis is enjoying the greatest
business prosperity in its history, and
prospects are for more business this
year than last. One of the great rail-

NO ROCKEFELLER BOULEVARD.
Cleveland Takes His Name From the
Driveway He Gave.

Cleveland, Ohio.-John D. Rookie
f%eller's name is no longer borne by
the boulevard he gave to the city.
The administration has changed the
name of the upper driveway in Rookie
Teller Park from Rockefeller Boule-

Residents in houses and apartments

The change was authorized some time
ago, but those most affected knew

new name were put up within the last
few days.
No explanation has been offered by
the city authorities.

cases have orders on their books
which will keep them fully employed
for year to come. Men in such posi-
ton cannot but feel hopeful. At the
other end of the line are our financiers
and disinterested observers who are
impressed with the over-extension OF
credit, with the imitation IN values,
and with the unpleasant Developments
in political life arising from. past
great abuses of the money power. In
the latter. they see the possibilities Of
much political agitation and more or
aimed chiefly at great corporations.
This disposition of the public to pun
ish the latter is becoming more and
more pronounced and cannot be ig-
nored. Ere long, it will be factor
affecting values; if it is not so al
ready.
The outlook for the market, there
fore, is more or less mixed. One
thing is positive: There Is but little
chance at present for more than
temporary bull market. After declines,
the market is in such powerful control
that we are likely to see sharp rallies
like the present. although no perma-
nent recovery in values can be antici-
pated until the money situation has
been restored to more normal cOndi-
tions. When TINS is accomplished, we
can safely advise our friends to enter
the market as buyers. Until then, our
advice would be to sell on all good raj
breaks.

these lines.
The Oregon city will have a large
delegation Of business men and VIII
bring brass band. 1t is probable that
a special train will convey the guests
to the city. Waitsburg, Prescott and

Chaplain le Cornu Interests CONNER.
eiaI Club and Petition to Lesis-
Iature Is Drawn Up.

Chaplain LIE Cornu, together with
other officials of the Washington state
penitentiary, has started a movement
for the erection of a chapel or hall
at the prison where religious services
and other gatherings may be held and
which will provide an Office for the
chaplain.
Chaplain LIE Cornu was present at the
meeting of the Commercial club last
evening and told of the conditions at
the prison. He stated that during the
winter and the hot summer month
it was almost impossible to hold ser
vices as they would have to be con-
Quoted in the open air. No place is
provided for the man to meet with his
spiritual adviser when about to pay
the penalty on the gallows for a crime.
The movement met with the hearty
support of the club and the following
petition was adopted:
ITO the Honorable Legislative As
sembly of the State Of Washington:
I'VE. the Commercial club of Walla
Walla. Washington, knowing the dis
advantages under which the chaplain
Of the state penitentiary at walla
Walla labors for want of a chapel in
which to hold services, and for an
office for his use in the discharge OF
his duties as chaplain, do earnestly and
10 make appropriation and otherwise
20 provide for the building of a chapel
