Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 7.--(Special) the opening of Liverpool they were in re- ceipt of the reports of showers in Dallas. sherman and other places in northern Texas. This was the cause of the de- cline in that market and the early weak ness here. There appeared to be pet ter demand at the low point from the sellers early in the week and some buy ing of the distant deliveries for invest ment. Our advices from Dallas, Tex, state that the showers were only partial and that the drouth had practically ruined central Texas. The market rallied on the small official rainfall and then closed at about the opening prices on further re- alixing by holders who did not wish to remain long over Sunday. Unless fur ther rains occur the market is expected to rally next week.

The Eternal Feminine.

George Frederick Wilson in Judge.
 With Haunting banners the suffragette parade turned Into crowded street in the business district. The drums boomed and cries of Votes for Women! rose from the rank and file. The leader, of generous weight and hardly fair features, strutted proudly a few feet in advance.
 Suddenly she halted and her gaze riveted upon a banner attached to the front of a big store. Her look of de- termined leadership turned to one of in- tense excitement. The band marched on alone, unaware of the halt. Every suf- fragette turned to gaze upon the banner which had attracted their leaders at tention Flushed murmurs of Good gracous!" superseded the former cry for votes.
 Then the ranks broke and rush was made toward the banner, the leader dropping her stick to get a better hold upon her skirts. In the street lay the discarded paraphernalia.
 The banner which had proved so great a magnet read:

ing from the recent graft investiga-

The admission of N. R. Milligan,
an aged contractor, to misdemeanor
in bridge estimates, through his at
torney and the incidents following
were pathetic. After the attorney
had entered the plea of guilty with
Milligan absent from the court room.
Mrs. Milligan took the stand.
Her husband, she said, between
sobs, was a physical wreck and with
in the last four weeks she had found
him unconscious in his bed where he
is now confined. She begged the
court to show mercy, since he had
confessed his guilt.
John B. Waldeck, another OF the
indicted men, is said to be at deaths
door. A physicians certificate gave
the information. According to his
friends and attorneys, it is likely that
he will never leave his bed alive.

Holly. Hill, Nov. 8.-The Law and

Considerable excitement was caus-

to arrest, whereupon, Constable John
I. Virgins shot him, the bullet glanc-
ing from his forehead and going
through his hat Cox then, taking
his pistol from him, and then brand
ishing the weapon in the air, ran
through the Main treet daring any

Horses Die from Poison.

New York, Nov. 8.-More than 250
valuable horses in East Side stables
have been poisoned to death in the
last few months by gang of black
mailers for whom the police are eag-
erly searching. Detectives declare
that owners Of horses in that section
of the city have already paid at least
$4,000 to the blackmailers and that
their animals have so far enjoyed
immunity.
DR.. H. Stark, chief inspector for
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, declares that
while more than $50 and fewer than
500 horses have been killed by pois-
oning, more than 1000 animals have
been given poison, but saved.
The method of the blackmailers is
to demand, through a letter several
hundred dollars from the proposed
victim on penalty of having his horses
killed. After the second demand has
been ignored, one or more Of the vic
TINS horses die. It has been found
that many of the horses have been
given arsenic.
