Only one man remained when given
the alternative of leaving or facing
trial for vagrancy, which carries the
possibility of 80 days in Jail. He was
fined 500 and appealed his case.
A number of men have been held fol

Those who expected development
work at the close of the week in ths
Eastern fields over that of the carer
part were disappointed. From the
first to the close of the week there was
not a completion in old or new tel
ritory to attract the least bit of at.
tention. In the entire producing area
OF the Eastern fields not single well
was drilled in with an initial produc.
tion Of 100 barrels. The average size
Of all wells completed was so small!
as to make them as whole light and
continuance OF the high market is
all that can make 1t possible for many
Of the new wells to pay back the mo.
ney invested in drilling.
The outlook for increasing produc.
ton in the Eastern fields is far froul
encouraging. Prolific producing ter.
ritory is not available at this time.
The discovery OF new field or pool

development for the reason that drll..

NEW YORK. Sept. 1o.-In the two
hour session OF the New York Stock
Exchange on Saturday, $4,000 shares
OF stock changed hands. The price
movement was the most cratic for
any corresponding period during the
week. The market opened firm aud
during the early dealings prices rulea
higher. The buying was based upon
rumors that something good" Was
likely to be announced in Washington
by 1890. This was supposed to relate
to government price.fxing for steel
and copper. The expected good news
did not rnaterialize and prices declin.
Cd sharply. The greatest sufferers
were high.class investment stocks like
General Electric, American Telephone,
Pullman, etc. Bethlehem Steel b
stock broke to par, and United States
Steel common declined points from
1884 to 1861. Some of these shares
later recovered from the lowest, Steel
rallying to 10s. The rails were firmei'
and fractionally higher. In the final
dealings the market again became ir.
regular, some stocks declining while
others were advancing. Sales for the

gated 3,725,0o0 shares of stock and
$17,411,000 bonds. BY far the most

It is certain that Mrs. Visconti will

time of year for many birds, and a
plentiful supply Of wild fruit will tide
them over. Fortunately, everywhere
in the United States there are some
fruits that persist until there is no
longer any need of them. If enough
are planted, no birds able to live on
this class of food should -starve. The
best of these 1ong-persisting fruits are
juniper, bayberry, thorn apples and
related fruits, holly and snowberry.
Information on fruits useful for this
purpose in any section Of the United
States may be obtained from the Unit
ed States bureau OF biological survey.
Birds devour cultivated fruit prin-
cipal1y because the processes of cult
walton diminish the wild supply. The
presence OF wild fruit In locality al
ways serves TO protect domestic va
rieties. especially when the wild trees
or shrubs are of the same kind as the
cultivated ones and ripen earlier.
Among those most useful for the pur-
pose are mulberry, wild bIaekberries
and strawberries, Serviceberry, wild
cherry and elderberry.

Earth as Medicine.

Modern medicine borrows the great.
er part of its remedial agents from
the plant and mineral worlds. Sew
eral varieties of earth served as rem
edies in remote antiquity, as we are
informed by Pliny, StrabO and other
Greek and Roman writer's. Clay con-
taining iron, in particular, was used.
Italy and Greece and their islands,
such as Bemnos, Samos and Chios,
furnished the greater part OF the
medical earths. Dioscorides, as we
learn from Professor Rabitsch, who
writes on this subject in the Deutsche
Rundschau fur Geographic Cvienna
and Leipzig, used the burned clay Of
Ereria (Euboea). So did Hippocrates
and Galen, the most famous physi-
clans Of antiquity.
