collection, in which they were naturally
much interested. Miss Fanny Burke, of

Leonard. THE population has increased
more rapidly, in proportion. than the

such good prices is an invitation to peo-

FOG TIES UP SHIPPING.
Thfckest Mist of Season Enfolds
New York Harbor.


New York. Jan. 1s.-The fog that hung
over New York harbor to-day. declared
by pilots to be the thickest OF the sea-
son, delayed all navigation ana caused
a complete disarrangement of ferry
schedules Outgoing Atlantic steamers
crept down the bay and were many hours
late in getting away, while inbound ves-
sells were similarly delayed IN making
their docks.
The Hamburg-American liner Kaiserin
Auguste Victoria arrived at her Ho-
boken dock late this afternoon, having
been delayed six hours by the fog. Capt.
Dempwolf said the voyage was one OF
the stormiest In his experience. On the
afternoon OF January 10 the vessel drove
into a hurricane and on the lIfeboat deck
on the port side forward the waves broke
the rail, tore away the ropes holding the
boats, smashed them ana piled them IN
heap on the deck.

Divers jokes, both old and new;
Soft-shoe steps and buck
Note the agile tricks they do;
Hark and hear the hand a-braying
See the darkies softly swaying.
Where the spotlights all are playing
At the Old-time minstrel show.
Come. you newer generations
Weary Of your problem plays;
Seek some corking recreation
Handed down from other days;
Watch the dsrkieS nimbly hoeins,
Swinging, swaying, heeland-tneing
While the horns are wildly blowing
At the old-time minstrel show.
Listen, all you grave old-timers

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-There was little
life in the wheat market this morning
and prices were fraCtiOnally lower The
weakness at Liverpool on the increased

influences. Northwestern cars were

Corn was is a rs higher Strength
was the result of unfavorable reports

shorts
oats were unchanged to shade higher
under light offerings and a fair demand.
Hogs at the yards were stronger and a
shade better, and provisions were firm in
sympathy.
Wheat closed with gains of 4 to nc
and the feeling was quite strong at the
advance. An Argentina special cable said
that the report regarding the corn crop
there placed the eXpOrtable surplus al
1f3,000O00 to 5000 900 bushels. The
crop last year amounted to 273, 900, 00(
bushels, and so far this season the eX-
ports have amounted to 1875 .95S, 900 bush
els The war news was factor late in
