NO GINGER IN THE
WOOL MARKET
Snap, Says Brad
Streets Trade Remains
Quiet With Prices Holding
Steady.

Rradstreets Review says of The
Boston wool market:
The market continues quiet, with
prices holding steady, there being %
lack of sufficient business to cause
changes in quotations. II is sull very
noticeable hat the market lacks the
activity and snap usually seen at this
season. and this is deemed attribute
able 70 the continued unsatisfactory
condition of the goods market. The
bulk Of the demand at present is from
the mills making fancy WOODEN goods,
these manufacturers having secured
better duplicate orders for fan goods
than had been expected. The trading
in territory woods. therefore, is large
~ in halt blood and fine staple, in
which there has BOOB % fair movement
and in grades auitable for the French
combs. chiefly fine medium, Many
bids have been made for consigned
woods, but consignors have declined to
accept the offers, though some large
transactions might have been consum,
mated had the owners OF the wool
been willing TO let Them 80 al the low
level Of the bids a failure OF the week
q very good movement in New
Zealand ~erossbreds, chiefly 44c and
4Gs. on a basis of about 50 % 80 cents,
these sales constituting the bulk OF
the business in worsted woods.

and the sight of the strangers in 0ul
quiet village. Having been in the
government employ for years, he inn
mediately started for Halls rifle
works, on the shenandoah side of the
town. In a few minutes he returned
saying that at the bridge leading tC
the armory a negro was standing
loaded with pistols, and that Joe BUS
sell had got together a company OF
armorers who were determined tC
fight for the works, and invited him
to join the ranks, but he refused Al
noon we received fuller reports of the
instruction. Several men who had
been holding a meeting in LOudONn

the armory gate. Each man was OF
fered his liberty provided he would
bring a negro in his place, but as they
exchange. They were in precari
Gus condition until liberated by the
marines Cook shot at citizens from
the Maryland nights as they stepped
outdoors.
There were many amusing incidents
connected with the affair; in fact, few
realized the Seriouness of the outbreak
until the next day. Brown had a
Dutchman in the engine-house who
continually cried. MY frow, my frow,
what will she do?" Brown called him
a coward, and let him go. John
Alstaldt's negro, Phil, stammered a
great deal, and kept crying, Lucky,
lucky" This worried Brown so much
that he set the fellow to digging port
holes in the brick wall The dust flew
into the darkey's face and eyes, when
he cried, Lucky, lucky, Master
Brown, l can't do this" When
in want of water Brown sent
Phil after it, who set the pitcher
by the WELL which was near
retreat for home.
Thus closed the first day, and the
whole affair seemed ludicrous to me;
especially when l saw a man bidding
his wife good-by forever, and another
family gathering together their per-
soua1 effects, and in their fight taking
nothing but rubber ball to sustain
life with on the Maryland nights.
But the second day presented a
more serious aspect. The stores were
closed, and nothing could be bought
for love or money. They We're near

Nerve.

Clifford Pinchot, the famous for
ester, is very entertaining talker,"
said an Ashevilie lawyer. During
his splendid work at Biltmore we
often dined together.
'Pinchot was a foe to corruption.
He dilated, one night after dinner, on
the impudence, the nerve, of the cor
ruptionists. He said that this impu-
dence was as bad as the little hod
carriers.
He said that, one bleak winter
morning in HOgan's saloon, as half a.
dozen men were warming themselves
with peppered ale, little hod carrier
entered, dumped noisily in his big
boots to the bar, pushed couple or
ale drinkers aside so that he could
reach the match box, and, taking a
match, lighted his short clay pipe
Then ne turned and dumped out.
Hogan, astonished, gazed after
him and wondered who on earth ha.
could be.
"The next morning the little man,
appeared again. He dumped as nois4
lily as before to the match box, lghteds
his pipe and turned away again Bus.
as he opened the door Hogan shouted,
"'Say, who are yer
You know me- the little man a.
swered, and passed out.
"The third morning, as usual, ne
appeared. The clump of his boots
seemed louder than ever as he adj
vanced to the bar. There was quite
a congregation about the matchbox,
but he gently and firmly pushed every
one aside. But he had no sooner lit
his pipe than Hogan, not to be
baked, this time, demanded:
"'Who are YEP
"'You know me- was the answer,
snd the little fellow started for the
door.
But Hogan, coming from behind
the bar, seized him by the arm.
WHO are YEP he repeated.
"'You know me- said the other
81 don't know ye,' shouted Hogan:
Why, sure We do. Shure we know
me- was the calm answer. I'm the
man that comes in here to light his
PIPE every morning."
