BEGGARS ENJOY BANQUET
AT WHICH "kING" IS HOST
Notable Feast Is Spread on Tomb
stones in One Of the ceme-
teries Of the Russian
Capital

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 7.--Ivan Step
anoff. the king of Russian beggars, has
just celebrated the thirty-fifth anniver-
sary of his sovereignty.
Stepanof Is a tall. well built man of
go, who has piled his trade for thirty
five years at the largest and most fash
ionable cemetery of st. Petersburg.
where he solicits aims for his poor
wife and starving children.
AS matter of fact his wife wears
valuable furs and diamonds and his two
sons are at college.
For his anniversary the king of beg
gars caused invitations to be sent broad
cast to the beggars and tramps of st.
Petersburg. The banquet hall was the
cemetery, the home of his exploits.
The police raised no objection to the
the caterers wagons to unload huge
piles of eatables and great baskets filled
to the brim with bottles of strong vodka.
On each gravestone was laid sumptu-
Gus repast and dozen or more of the
strange guests-who numbered 1000 in ali
gathered round each grave and there
feasted.
Ivan himself presided at one OF the
central graves, great mausoleum, the
family vault of a prince. During the
feast he also visited and drank toasts
at others of the tombs.
This strange scene continued from noon
throughout the evening until the time
came for the cemetery to be closed for
the night.
Ivan Stepanoff announced early In the
day with much eclat that in view of the
festivities he would abstain from impor-
tuning strangers for aims for that day.
the first day in thirty-five years in which
he had not attended to his business.
1t is estimated that the celebration
cost the king Of beggars fully $500. But
he is plying his trade more vigorously
than ever. and may soon make up this.

CHICAGO, Sept 7.-Ofhcial predictions Of a
frost in the Canadian northwest was the chier
stimulant in the wheat market today. AT the
close December wheat was %@Ac higher. Corn
was up ss@Ac Oats were &c lower. Provis-
ions were unchanged to 21c higher
steady feeling prevailed at the opening
of the wheat market. The market at Liver
pool failed to reflect the full advance made
on the local board yesterday, but offerings
here were few and the demand good.
American seaboard -advices were to the ef-
feet that foreign acceptances were light, while
Montreal declared that everything offered there
had been snapped up. The market strength
ened rapidly on the prediction OF the frost IN
the northwest, and prices ruled firm through
out the remainder of the day. Trade was not
heavy, and many operators seemed aisposeo
to await events before extending operations
December wheat opened unchanged to lsc
higher at 1001kQ100Ac, sold between 1OOk ana
10l1sc and closed strong at 1011s@1O1Mc.
The strength of wheat and unfavorable crop
reports from Iowa. Nebraska and Kansas made
a strong corn market throughout the day.
The demand for corn was good and the Of
ferings were light. Late bullish influences
affecting the market were predictions OF frost
in Canada and the Iowa state crop report
which estimates the crop this year at 2S,80O,000
bushels against 3s,000,00o bushels last year.
December corn opened A@ssc higher at 61hc,
sold between Clio and 61%c and closed strong
at 61h@61sc.
The oats market was very quiet, principal
selling being by local longs. December oats
opened unchanged at 547sc, sold between 64c
and 54%c and closed at Sac
Provisions were extremely dull. AT the close
