BLACK DAY Oil CHANGE
Worst Seen in London Since the
Baring Smash.
London. Dec. 29 The failures today In
volve twenty-eight members of the stock

jobbers and brokers. It is generally re
garded in the mining: market as being the
bla-ckest day since the rsarmg smasn
which was disastrous to all departments.
Today's crisis, however, dd not extend to
the other markets, though most of them
closed depressed. Americans were Inc.!

In that road.
FAILURES -1I0KE NUMEROUS
Hecord of Current Year Surpasses
That of 1899.
New York, Dec. 29. R. C. Dun's Re
view of Trade says:
"While it is not yet possible to print
accurate figures of failures during' the
full year, 1900, a preliminary statement
may be made that will approximate the
final result. Detailed returns for all
but the last few days of the year have
been compiled, and adding a' propor
tionate amount for the time still to
elapse, it appears that commercial fail-
tires will number about 10,630, wltn li
abilities of Sl?0.noo,000. Of this number
2.300 were in manufacturing for $49,750,-
000: 7.800 in trading, for $60,000,000 and
F30 brokers, transporters, etc., not prop
erly belonging in either of the other
ciasses for $27,250,000.
Besides thesa strictly commercial de
faults, there were sixty field concerns
with liabilities of $34,000,000, swelling the
Total to 10,690 in number and $170,000,
00 in amount. This shows a large in
crease over the preceding year, when all
failures numbered 9,393. and liabilities
were $123,132,679. It must not be for
gotten, however, that 1S99 was a year
r.f exceptional prosperity and while
trade was then stimulated by rising
prices, the succeeding year had to hear
the brunt of reaction. Despite these dis
asteis. made unavoidable by the very
conditions that brought such a phenom
enal record for 15.99. it still will be found
that lit'K) compares favorably witb other
recent years.
So general preparation has been made
by eastern business interests for a
squeeze in money near the end of the
year that the expected advance did not
occur, and collections in the interior
were so good that banks made general
complaint of the scarcity of mercantile
paper offered for discount.
This outcome was particularly encour
aging, though business wii! need more
money after January 1. Meanwhile a
good undertone has been continually in
evidence founded upon the active dis
tribution of merchandise south and west.
Feller-? assuming an Indifferent attitude,
except in cotton goods and some
branches of silk, where the general im
provement has been reflected to a com
paratively small degree.
In bath cotton and silk circles better
thincs are expected in January and in
ro direction has reduction of working
forces in mills occurred. Some wage
differences have been adjusted. In this
resoeet the situation is unusually bright.
More taik of a general reduction in coke
find cheaper ore after navigation opens
might be calculated to unsettle quotations
of th finished products, but iron and steel
continue In the even tenor of their way.
In every department of this industry more
business is offered than can be accepted
unless purchasers are willing to give much
time for delivery.
One large foreign contract was lost on
this account, and at many points domestic
operations are delayed by Inability to se
cure material. Instead of the agitation
foi cheaper steel rails, that was so preva
lent a short time airo. producers are said
to contemplate an advance. Domestic con
tracts In this line exceed E0.0"0 tons at
Chicago and among foreign orders is no
ticed one for 17.rj0 tons for Australia,
with many smaller sale. Structural ma
terial is wanted for building and bridges,
with noticeable activity In this depart
ment. it is not a bad sign that the local job
bing trade in footwear is quiet, nor that
orders received by manufacturers from
talesmen are small, as most travelers
returned home for the holidays. Hence
new contracts are not large, but factories
are running at full capacity and in many
cases refuse to duplicate orders at pre
vious prices. Aside from hemlock sole
leather, in which prices are barely main
tained, other leather is lower.
Wool lost the temporary increase In ac
tivity, sales aggregating only 4.5.;.0"O
pounds, a decrease of 2.661,3"i0 pounds
compared with the preceding week.
Stocks at the close of the year are ex
cessive, although dealers are encouraged
by the knowledge taat manufacturers'
supplies are light.
Contradictory estimates are still heard
regarding the cotton crop. Port receipts
show large increase over last year, but
the effect Is neutralized by reports that
a much larger proportion of the yield has
been marketed.
SPEED OF WILD DUCKS.
They Cover More Than Forty-seven
Miles an Hour.
Bayonne. INT. J., Dee. 29. "William A.
Kddy today measured by means of kites
the altitude of the thousands of wild
ducks which were flying" southwaralong:
the coast. The average height of foe fly
ing" ducks was found to be 1,590 feet. Thty
passed across the crosswire space of Mr.
Eddy's kites in about three seconds. This
time was taken repeatedly, and twenty
observations continued tha speed trav
eled. It was found that the ducks were
t ravelins: very" nearly 4T14 miles an hour.
Aithoujrh the kites were up but 500 feet,
the ducks appeared to be afraid of them,
and repeatedly great flocks steered off to
one side or the other as they approached
point where the kites were.
Mr. Kddy had aloft two nine-foot and
two seven-foot kites. On December 20 Mr.
Kddy by means of his kites found that
the cirrus clouds were traveling" at the
rate of 173 miles an hour, which is the
highest velocity yet recorded here.

How the Artist Wm Called.
When Henry 8. Watson, the Illustrator,
landed at Naples, he did not know much
about Euroiwan travel. He had to make
some sketches in the villages about Na
ples, and his experiences hare tilled him
with wonder enough for a lifetime. His
lieft pencil helped him a bit. At one lit
tle villaee inn. he tried to fret it through
the landlord's head that he was to be
called early in the morning. He couldn't
make himself understood. At lat he drew
at picture of himself lying in bed, the sun
peeping through the window, the clock at
the hour of 6 and the chambermaid knock
ing at the door. Then it was quite plain,
end they woke him on the tick. Philadel

Poor Little 1901 stands in the
IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.
"There were a lot of reporters -at the
trial of Jessie Morrison in Kl Iorado and
about everybody in the west read the re
ports closely," said a man at the Cope
land who had been In El Dorado during
the trial, "but it was impossible to gather
from any of the reports the sentiment of
the people of the town and the Interest
ing town gossip which was occasioned by
It. I was much more Interested in the
town people, or rather their views of the
case and their actions, than I was in the
testimony of the witnesses, for I could
get that In the papers. I was talking to
an old citizen of the town, and of course
the talk got on the Morrison trial. He
was very much excited about the bond
which had been given and declared that
it was not worth $1,000. 'The judge should
not have accepted that bond,' he said,
'and I don't believe he would have accept
ed it if he had not been partial to the
Morrison girl." He went on to tell me
that both politics and religion entered into
the trial. According to his story the jury
was eomnosed mostly of Populists, whose
sympathies were with Miss Morrison be
cause her father was a strong Populist.
He claimed that the judge was also a
Populist and that on that account he
gave instructions favorable to the young
lady. He also said that the Methodist
church in that town was almost to a unit
in favor of the conviction of Miss Morri
son because the Castles and the Wileys
were stronger in the church than tire
Morrisons. I don't say that his ideas
were correct, but he thought as a great
many others of his fellow citizens did.
The ladies of the town took as much if
not more interest in the trial than did
the men. There was only one woman in
a certain neighborhood who remained
away from the trial and did baking. The
rest of the women would borrow bread
and biscuit from her and would worry
through with as little work as possible.
According to local gossip there were thirty-two
beds which were not made while
the trial was going on, and there were
more kitchens which were not swept. The
people took so much interest in the trial
that there was not a quorum In any of
the lodges and prayer meeting had to be
postponed in three of the churches. There
is a sort of a family feud in the town on
account of remarks that were made while
certain women were telling their side of
the story. One church choir was broken
up and is now composed of people who
think that the jury returned the wrong
verdict. One arrest has been made since
the trial because a neighbor's chickens
were trespassing on the premises of an
other neighbor who did not believe that
the Morrison girl was guilty. Prior to the
trial the neighbors did not insist upon the
herd law being enforced upon the chick
ens. The milkmen say that any number
of people are now taking milk from them
who used to get it at the neighbors'. The
trial has wrought wonders in changing
the social lines in the town. One man
made a good thing out of the trial. He
is a coal dealer and had a lot of bills
outstanding which he was having some
trouble to collect. After -the trial was
over and the question of bonds came up
It was reported that it would be Impossi
ble to get the bond in the town as the
men who went on it would be boycotted
and their families would be socially ostra
cized. The people who were confident that
Jessie Morrison was guilty were deter
mined that if she could not be sent to the
penitentiary she should at least be kept
in the county Jail, and they let it be re
ported that the boycott would be applied
to any man on the bond. It was then
that the coal dealer had a 'hunch and
proceeded to get in his fine work. It was
whispered about the town that the father
of Miss Morrison was out with the bond
getting men to sign it and that he had
got the name of the coal dealer to head
the list. By night it was known in every
household in the town and the heads of
the families had talked it over. They
decided to stay with the boycott, even if
they did have to pay the coal dealer that
little bill, so the next morning the eoai
dealer's office was crowded with men
who were anxious to pay up and to ex
press their opinion of a man who would
do such a deed as sign the bond of 'that
Morrison girl' The coal dealer's clerk
took in the money and issued receipts and
said that the boss was out and that he
did not know whether or not he had
signed the bond, but the coal dealer him
self was absent. He knew better than to
be pres-ent that would spoil his plan. He
had sevit a trusted friend to the men who
were in debt to him to say that he had
signed the bond, and he knew the denials
of the clerk would not change the minds
of the outraged public. After he had col
lected about S5-XI and been notified that
he no longer had the custom of the said
outraged public, he came ou- from his
Snow to hear Humanity's Valedictory to the fading Century
' hiding place and began to deny the story.
He easilv proved that he had not signed
the bond and that he had no intentions
of so doing. He had his money, and it
will be only a short time until he has all
his good customers back. The others he
does not want, and as they are now
square with him he will propably keep on
the safe side, for it will be some time be
fore he can get anofher chance to play a
game like that on the people. My friend
told me that he had heard the trial in
all its details repeated at least a thou
sand times and that the most popular
woman in the town at present was the
one who had attended the trial' constant
ly and could not only repeat the testi
mony, but could tell how Jessie Morrison
was dressed each day and could also teil
how the women who visited the trial were
dressed. One woman who was kept a lit
tle late at home doing some work had to
rush to the trial in her wrapper and the
other women in her seat are now telling
how slouchy she is. It is a fact that two
of the grocery stores had to increase their
orders for canned goods while the trial
was in progress and that the bakery had
to employ another baker to keep up to
the unusual demand for bread and pie.
One grocer sold twenty cans of potted
turkey that he had had on his shelves
for ten years. The women wanted it for
lunch and they were in such a hurry
that they forgot to look at the goods or
dered. One of the local papers took sides
and got out a 'razor' edition. The next
morning the plate glass window in the
front of the office was found broken and
a large rock was on the floor of the of
fice. Of course it was said that one of
the Morrison boys committed the out
rage, but that is denied by the Morrison
faction, and their denial will have to be
accepted, for there is no proof. That
simply shows how the people of the town
are worked up over the trial. It has
caused a feud which will last as long 03
the old county seat fight between Au
gusta and Kl Dorado and is the biggest
event in the town since the trial of T. O.
Shinn, brother of Judge Shmn, for the
murder of Baker 'Clossard. By the way,
the county seat fight shows up in the
bond: ail the men on the bond are from
the south part of the county. Brown and
Kibbe both being Augusta men."

Tansing, Mich., Dec. 29. When the
contempt case against Governor Pingree
was called, by Judge Wisner this after-'
noon the court room was crowded tvjtli
people. The judge read Governor Pln

A STEEL TUBE TRUST.
One With a Capital of $150,000,000
Is Being Formed.
Philadelphia, Dec. 29. The Evening Bul
leln today says:
For the past three weeks negotiations
have been on foot in Philadelphia looking
towards the control of the steel tube in
dustry in the United States by organizing
a combination with over $160,MH.0.f.) cap
ital. Kverything haa been quiet and
nothing has leaked out, although the pres
ence of big financiers and iron and steel
magnates in the office of W. W. Gibbs. in
this city, has aroused various rumors. Mr.
Gibbs was not at his office today and
it was stated that he left for Pittsburg
last night and would not return until
Monday. His secretary denied any knowl
edge of the combination.
The Bulletin, nevertheless, has it from
reliable authority that the project is be
ing promoted and that W. W. Gibbs is
the prime mover In the affair. The finan
cial end is being handled by Moore &
Bchley, brokers, of Is'ew Tork. The syn
dicate has secured the exclusive license
under American patents to manufacture
steel tubing by a new Knglish process,
which reduces the coat of manufacture
nearly 60 per cent.
MADE PLATT ANGRY.
Senior Now York Senator Vexed at
Gov. Roosevelt's Appointments.
New York, Dec. 29. 'Thomas C. Piatt
will see to it that so long as he lives
Theodore Roosevelt shall never be presi
dent of the United States." This
prophecy was uttered by a very inti
mate associate of the senior eenator
from New York within a very few hours
after the news was given out that
Koosevelt iiad appointed Eugene A.
Philbin, a Democrat, district attorney,
and John Proctor Clarke, an anti-Platt
Republican, justice of the supreme
court. It is an alleged broken promise
that is deepening and widening the
breach that yawns between Theodore
Roosevelt and Senator Piatt and Governor-elect
Odell.
On the day that the nomination for
governor was offered to him at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, Roosevelt, it Is
claimed, promised Piatt and Odell that
he would not nominate or appoint any
man in this state without first consult
ing them. Before giving places to Mr.
Philbin and Mr. Clarke Roosevelt con
sulted neither Piatt nor Odell.
Roosevelt's den of Piatt and Odell is
now being very generally accepted as a
warning that he feels strong enough to
contend with them during his four
years' term as vice president not only
the control of the machine of New York
state, bjt to have behind him at the
next Republican national convention
enough delegates from New York and
other states to ruminate himself for the

CLOSING SESSION.
Economic: Association Winds
With Election of Officers.
Up
Detroit. Mich., Dec. 29 The attend
ance at the elowlng session today of th
American Kcononiic session waa great
ly diminished in members.
The first paper of the day, that of Dr.
Trorstein eblen, ot Chicago, on in
duslrial and Pecuniary Occupations,
was read by title. The paper is as fu
lows:
"The oldest economists believe
three factors in nroduction land, labo
and capital (to which a fourth factor of
managing ability was suDsequenii
added), and they assumed these factors
received. In the form of rent, wages, in
terest and profits, shares of the total
wealth produced which were proportion
ate to their respective contributions i
Its production. Thus they treated ac
quisition, or pecuniary activity as a sub
head under production or industrial ac
tivity. Today pecuniary activities are
no longer, it ever thev were, mere lnci
dental faatures of the process of social
production and consumption; they nav
become the dominating factor in modern
Industrial processes. Now many busi
ness activities are lucrative without be
lng serviceable to the community. They
are concerned primarily with the value
of goods and only secondarily wit
their serviceability. Large bodies of th
population have but an incidental con
tact with the business side of the enter
prise in which they are engaged whil
a minority have little If any other con
eern with the enterprise than its pecun
lary management. We have, then
new class engaged in industrial and an
other in pecuniary occupations. . The
class In industrial occupations, not
merely factory hands, but also highly
skilled mechanics, are often lmproviden
and incompetent to take care of the
pecuniary details of their own iir?. Com
paring our factory hands with the older
class of handicraftsmen whom they
have displaced, or with the 'arming
population of today, it is apparent tha
their Inferiority in this respect Is no
the effect of scantier opportunity for
saving. It seems to be rather traceable
to the relative absence or pecuniary
training in the discipline of their daily
life.
"It is worth considering too, whether
the apparent growth in certain Indus
trial towns of socialistic notions inimica
to the very institution of property is not
taking place chiefly among those whoso
specialized industrial occupations ex
empt them, in great part from the intel
lectual discipline of pecuniary manage,
ment."
"The next decade In economic theory,'
a paper by Prof. Frank A. Fetter, of the
Leland Stanford university was also
read.
The report of the committee on uni
form municipal accounts and statistics,
was read by M. N. Baker, chairman of

ana treasury.
It was decided to leave the matter of
the selection of the next place of the

"One of the greatest cures for the
drirk habit is matrimony." exclaimed
the temperance lecturer; "why is it that
so many young men givup liquor after
they are married?" "They can't afford
it," came a husky voice from the rear of
the hall. ' .
Teacher "Name an animal that has
claws, but one we think is very nice."
Voice from the tail of the clasa "I
know. Santa Claws!"
The Manayunk Philosopher rises to
remark that courtship with a homely
girl is usually plain sailing. .
THE OflE SURE WAY
i "
To Cure Every Form ol I'lics.
Ti e only sure way to cure every form,
of pill's. Is to use a ri'mi-dy like tro' Pyr
amid Pile Cure, which is applied direct It"
to ;he parrs affected, and its wonderful
healing effects, are apraranl from th
first' application because its mediriiinl
properties are rapidly at.-soi bed riEt t
where needed, by the delicate tissues
and sensitive membranes of the r-ctum.
The cure is natural and easy and almost
before the patient Is aware of it, ver
trace of piles has left him.
This Is one reason wbv the Pyramid
Plli Cure has be-n so uniformly succeaa
ful. Jt Is In suppository form, applied a;
night directly to the diseased parts,
where it is most needed and not by tha
rut:d about way of the stomach nor the
harsh, barbarous method of surgical op
eration. Direct applications to the seat of dis
ease is the only common sense cure, and
this is fully accomplished by the Pyr
amid Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony of thous
ands is worth anything then no sufTen.r
should delay in giving this splendid rin
eiiy at least a trial as It costs but U)
cents at any drug store, and Is guaran
teed absolutely safe and free from ot4
ates or cocaine so commonly found la u
called pile cures.
Nearly every druggist has some favor
ite pile cure on which lie can muke a
larger profit than he can on the Pyra
mid and often-times to substitute, hut
when it Is remembered that the Pyramid
Pile Cure is the only remedy for plls
that has a national reputation and is
sold by every druggist in the I'nltei
States and Canada, it means immetnln.':
it means that no remedy could do this
unless it possessed positive unmistaka
ble merit.
The Pyramid PI!' Cure has rurel
thousands of sufferers from the different
forms of the disease, whether ltchirg,
bleiding or protruding piles.
