FUR SEALS IN NEW WORKS
 AQUARIUM.

The first fur seals to be seen in this city are now at the aquarium, a pair of young ones. male and female. pre- scented to it by the United States fish cries bureau. These seals came from the famous Pribiloff islands, in Alaskan waters. by the government steamer, and thence to Washington in one of the bureaus fish cars.
 These two young fur seals, which are now about five months old, weigh together forty-three pounds. They are each about twenty eight inches in length At maturity fur seals are much larger than this. and then the male seal greatly exceeds the female in both size and weight
 The fur seal has a sharper nose than the familiar hair or harbor seal. and both it's swimming flippers and it's tail flippers are. proportionately to its body, much longer than those of the

Berlin.-Passing through one of the big game preserves near Emperor Williams shooting box at Hubertus Stock the other day. a party of strangers stopped to buy milk or beer at the forester's little cottage. The forester's wife came out to them and said she would be happy to give them anything she had, but she couldn't invite them inside.
 We have company" she explained.
 It was drizzling. and the two la dies in the party. both of them for eigners. felt some disgust at not be- ing able to take their refrshment un- der cover. Suddenly from the open window of a parlor a head was put out and a voice exclaimed:
 Ladies in the wet That won't do. They must come in. There's plenty of room here"

Finances and Markets

New York, Dec. 3O.-Prices made 6 further advance during the early ses- sion on the stock exchange today, but the movement was narrower and the total Outturn was of nominal propor- tiOns.
 Gains were registered by a majority of the better known issues. Bonds were fairly active, but the largest part of the business in these securities was transacted by direct and private sale.
 There is reason to believe that Europe has purchased extensively of certain high grade railroad bonds during the last fortnight
 The rise in call money to 6 per cent. the highest rate since the first week of the year. and the decline in foreign exchange to 4.S4S5. the lowest level since the panic of 1907. were rather more noteworthy than events in the stock market itself The advance in call money was ascribed to the call ing of loans by local banks to meet year-end requirements.
 According to forecasts, banks in the clearing house ought to gain from $2,50O.00 to s3,000,000 this week
 Northern Pacific directors today de- clared the regular quarterly dividend. thereby setting at rest rumors affect ing that property. The action on the Great Northern preferred dividend will be taken early in the coming year.
 Railroad reports included that of the Reading company for November which showed a decrease in net earnings by that transportation company Of more than s100,000, while the earnings of the coal and iron company showed but a nominal increase. Rock Island fig ures for November were decidedly favorable. with an increase in the net revenues of S413.OOO. The St Louis & San Francisco system reported an in- crease in the operating income for No vember of s163,000.
 London bought few thousand stocks on balance in this market.
 Total sales of bonds, par value, $2,- 62O,0OO.
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

DETAILS ARRANGED
 FOR TUCSON RACE FIRST CAR LEAVES REPUBLl- CAN OFFICE AT7. Tremaine Will Go Over Route Today and Mark the Road For Those Who Go To-
 morrow.

Final arrangements for the road race from Phoenix to Tucson to be held tomorrow, New Years day. were made at a meeting of automobile men held last evening in The Re publican office Charles R. Green, business manager of this paper, will act as starter. The first of the five cars that will make a special effort to win the silver trophy will leave The Republican office promptly at o'clock and the other four will start at intervals of five minutes thereafter.
 It was decided to require the five special entries to be on hand at : o'clock in the morning and to allow the other cars to start when they please. Those who desire to regis ter their time in order that they will have a chance at the cup may do so at any time. It is quite pos sible that the cup will be taken by some car that has not been specially grpomed for the race but only the drivers of the Case. Stoddard Day ton, Elmore, Pope Hartford and Hud- son have announced their intention of making extraordinary efforts to cover the distance in record break ing time.
 Representatives of the fire leading entries were present and they drew numbers in the following order: Case, Hudson, Pope. Elmore and Stoddard. This means that the Case will pull away from The Republi- can building at o'clock, the Hud- son at 7:05, Pope at 7:10, Elmore at 7:15 and Stoddard at 7:2O. The other cars may therefore register their time and start at any time after 7:20 It is not believed that anyone will dare to delay his start until the day. has advanced very far. Tucson is looking for the Phoenix cars be- tween II and F o'clock and has made arrangements to have the streets upon which they will enter the Old Pueblo kept clear of pedes- trians and Instructions during that hour. Cars arriving after twelve o'clock will have to be driven slowly within the city limits.

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the introduction
of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massa-
chusetts man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in
mining operations i'm Bolivia, he was de-
nounced by Chile as an nsurrectionist
and as a consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman and a young woman.
Stephens rescued the young woman from
a drunken officer. he was thanked by
her. Admiral Of the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens. told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
and offered him the Office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda, a
Chilean vessel, should be captured.
Stephens accepted the commission.
Stephens met a motley crew, to which he
was assigned. He gave them final in
structiOns. They boarded the vessel.

One day. when Lord %Thurlow was
very busy at his house in Ormond
street, a poor curate applied to him
for a living, then vacant.
Don't trouble me-" said the chan
cellor, turning upon him with a frown-
ing brow. Don't you see l am busy
and can't listen to you?-what duke or
lord recommended you?'
The poor curate lifted up his eyes
and, with detection, said he had no
lord to recommend him but the Lord
of Hosts.
The Lord of Hosts" replied tho
chancellor. the Lord of Hosts!-I be-
lieve | have had recommendations
from most lords, but do not recollect
one from him before; so, do you hear.
