CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO Oct. 1S,-A severe decline occur
red about the middle of the session. Prior to
that time the market had been fairly steady,
although prices were somewhat lower owing
to further decline at Liverpool following the
sharp decline there. yesterday. Late receipts
in the west also had a depressing effect early
in the day. About noon prices dropped precipi-
lately as a result of the dumping on the mar
ket of enormous quantities Of long wheat by
several of the leading bulls. These sales. it
was said, were brought out by the panicky
condition of the stock market and by fear
that the primary movement Of wheat would
soon show a heavy increase. Bears took ad-
vantage of the situation and sold freely which
caused still further weakness.
Late in the day prices rallied about 1c from
the low point covering by shorts. The
close was fairly steady. December opened a
shade lower to HQAc higher at 81 .021sQ1. .02$,
sold at $1.o2% and then declined to 9s%c: The
close was at 81. OF. May ranged between $1.O5%
al .OS1s and closed at sl.OS%, net loss of 1850
1hc.
The corn market was weak all day because
of selling induced by the break in wheat and
by favorable weather for the maturing OF the
new crop. Demand from shippers was tame
and offerings of new corn from the country
were much more liberal. Primary receipts
were almost twice large as on this day
year ago which further weakened the mar
ket. The close was weak. December opened
unchanged to a. shade lower at 60A@61c, sold
off to 599sc and closed at 60c Local receipts
There was only a small trade in oats and
the market was weak because of the weakness
of wheat and corn. December opened #Qhc
lower at 53kc, sold at 5Shc and then declined
to 52ssc. The close was at 53Bc
Provisions displayed slight weakness as a
result of the break in grain prices. The trade
was of small volume. At the close January
pork was off 12c; lard was down 5@75sc ribs
were 21s@5c lower.

Market developed no new features yesterday.
The conditions which have threatened more

them much one way or the other.
There seems to be q disposition to lower the
price Of eggs, bnt not much has been accom-

and the daily arrivals are heavy.

the result has not materialized unless II can
be seen in the firniness of the superior grades.
Butter remains unchanged but dealers In the

How Joe Cannon Escaped Being an
Ordinary, Model 3D. Millionaire.

The December imerican Magazine
contains very clever character sketch OF
Uncle Joe Cannon by George Fitch. Nc
Cutcheon made the cartoons for the article.
Here is Mr.. Fitch description of how the
speaker avoided becoming an ordinary
plutocrat:
"Cannon saw that, barring accidents,
he was going to be very rich indeed. He
was going to wear clothes made for him
instead of for humanity in general. He
was going to build stone house, eat off
an assortment of plates every meal, fall
into the hands of valet, slide downhill
into summer home, then into New York,
and finally into liver complaint and a mar
Bile sarcophagus, an ordinary, model ID
millionaire, cut, set and polished like any
other one carat, financial light. As a
Cannon he would be a smooth bore and
nothing more.
"When the Danvile man had finished
mapping out this awful fate, he vowed a
VOW that, no matter how rich he became,
he would never be an ordinary millionaire.
He would be neither a kid finished
plutocrat nor wild and woolly new-rich.
He would combine the best features of
both into something entirely new. He
would retain all the habits of honest pov-
erty which were comfortable and would
acquire all the tricks of wealth which
weren't uncomfortable. He would be as
refined as he could be without being ordi,
nary and as primeval as he could be with
out being eccentric. In short, he woulc
make merger of luxury and simplicity
besides which Morgan's merger Of steel
mills and Hartman S merger of railroads
would look ehidishly simple

Whiskey By Jugfuls.

SEAFoRD, DEL, Dec. 1.-Whether local
option is a farce or not is the question that is
puzzing many persons. Since it went into
effect. three weeks ago, this town has been
''wet'' for sure. People who were satisfied
to go and get a dram or two at the hotel now
send TO Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bati,
more and get it by the gallon.
More persons have been seen intoxicated
on Sunday than ever before when liquor was
sold throughout the country. They drink as
if it were the last drink they would ever get.
Crowds swarm the steamboat landing before
the arrival of the boat from Baltimore waiting
for their jugs, and at the Adams Express
Company's office some nights the agent has
to close the doors and call the waiting crowd
in one at time to get their jugs and boxes,
which are shipped from Wilmington and PhiIa-
delphia.
1t is estimated that nearly 100 gallons of
whskey were received yesterday by boat
and express.
When John Seabreeze was returning home
with his jug he was assaulted, it is alleged, by
Will Matthews and Will Vincent, both colored,
and they got the jug. His cries for help
brought the police, who chased the negroes
through the graveyard where they dropped
the jug.
Last night crowd of negroes paraded the
front streets with their jugs under their arms,
singing: IL Got Mine. Boys and today the
statements were clearly proved.

Mustaches Ordered.

American women are just at present IN
bad odor with the British military author
tiles. For the latter do not hesitate to
ascribe to the all powerful influence of the
daughters of Uncle Sam the growth OF
the practice by officers of shaving the up
per lip and parting their hair in the mid
die. Now this is contrary to the military
regulations in England, and from time to
time general orders have been issued by
the War Department in London express
sing its disapproval of the clean shaven
face of its officers, as being ''unsoldierly'
and demanding that they should at once
proceed to grow a mustache. These gen.
eral orders have been more honored in the
breach than in the observance, and at
length matters have reached such pitch
that drastic measures are contemplated.
1t is understood that King Edward, as
chief of the army, entertains very strong
views about the matter, and that 1t Is by
no means improbable that he may take
advantage of some of the levees next year
at st. James Palace either to bar clean
shaven officers of the army from his pres
ence, or, if he does receive them, to ex-
press his disapproval of their disregard of
his wishes and of the military regulations.
This question of hirsute adornment is
matter which has always engaged the
attention of rulers and of their war de-
partment. Queen Victoria attached much
Importance thereto, as is shown by her
correspondence with the late Right Hon.
Hugh Childers, when he was in office as
Minister for War. Only one regiment of
cavalry in the Austro- Hungarian army
enjoys the prerogative of dispensing with
mustaches, in memory of the magnificent
gallantry of the corps in certain battle
of the Seven Years War, when owing to
the terrible loss of life in the previous bat
ties, it went into action composed almost
entirely of beardless boys, the only thing
available in the way frecruits.
In those days mustaches were restricted
almost exclusively to the cavalry. The
great Napoleon would not permit any OF
his infantry regiments to wear hair on
their upper lips, except his veterans OF the
so-called Old Guard, who were allowed
mustaches as special privalige and as a
reward for their services. Hence their
nickname of 'Les Moustaches Crises de
L Empereour" Nowadays mustaches are
required in all branches of the army, and
SO particular are the rulers of Germany
and Austria about emphasizing the military
character of this hirsute adornment that
they have in the past repeatedly taken
means to express their strong disapproval
of the wearing of mustaches by civilians,
peremptory orders having been on several
occasions sent to the actors at state thea
tres and even to certain branches of the
state administration exacting that all hair
should be removed from the upper lip
