lull la the wholesale dry goods and xrncery traffic,

C'lllCAMO.
Cllii Aoo, June ill. An oppressively weak feel
ing prevailed in wheat at the openingj and traders
were filling diniilerliy blue. July opened ?,-,c
lower at Mi' ,c, but some little effort was made in
sustain the market, and a few minutes later July
was selling at wt'ic. The tipiort was only tem
porary, however, and bank wheal being put on the
maiket, July soon reacted to liii',c, which figure it
held steady during the first hour of the session.
At the end of that lime the "tal!ers" found they had
sold themselves shi.rr, and began to cover and

wheat tor account of the Links to day, and realiz
ing .iintlnued straight to the close The effect of
generally selling was to break w heat from liil'c to
'mc for July, the latter figure being reached
about noon. At the iMittom price there were many
good buying orders and a reaction sent
the utile of July up tu i,'i , r,
at which figure the morning resslon closed. Heavy
exports tn m I he sealHw.rd, and covering by the
sln.rts Interest, made the afternoon market
stronger. July suld up to 0'ic, and closed at II,-..

rally weak and lower. Trading was largely
local ai.d offerings were quite free, but
the demand was very light. A weaker feeling,
which prevailed in the wheat market during the
earlier houia of the session, also had a depressing
effect cn corn. July opened at :Vh , and sold down
in Vi'4c, but, in sympathy Willi wl.et, during the
afternoon sesion lear'ed, closli.g at :Hi'4c.
Oullean a'tlve sneciilallve business was trans
acted In the provision market, but the feeling was
greatly unsettled, aod prices rultd weak and
lower. Offerings nere quite liberal, while the de
mand was only fair, aid mainly from
parties who covered outstanding con
tracts at a profit. llerelpis of hogs
were light and prices ruled higher, but the
nervous feeling in the grain market had consid
erable effect on provisions. Julv lard opened at

the opening figures. July spare ribs nper ed at

A Case not Beyond Help.
Dr. M. H. Hinsdale, Kennwoe, 111., ad
vises us of a remarkable cure of consump
tion. He says: "A neighbor's wife was
attacked with violent lung disease, and
pronounoed beyond help from quick con
sumption. As a last resort the family
was persuaded to try Dr. Wm. Hall's Bal
sam for the Lungs. To the astonishment
of all, by the time she had used one half
dozen bottles she was about the house
doing her own work. I saw her at her
worst, and had no idea she could recover."
Burt Bros.rt Co. receive fresh lots of fine

cent cigar are warranted clear long Havana
filler.; $1,(KX) forfeit if Dot found as repre
sented. Their Key West cigar, Cornet
Bonnet, can not be equaled in the city.
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has
used Bosohee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing consumption, severe
coughs, croup, asthma, pneumonia, and in
fact nil throat and lung diseases, Iso per
son can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of ell druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying consump
tive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,01X1
dozen bottles were sold lust year, and no
one case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine as tho (Jerman Syrop

Riled with men, women and children are a

Here an old, gray haired man feeblv washes
his j-hrunken legs and arms in the cleansing
and divine water. At his sido stands a vounc
Hindu matron, whose wet garment clings to
her body and show perfectly hor well formed
limbs. A Hindu dandy, almost naked, sits
wjly a few feet away on the bank combing his
long, oily locks and admiring himself iii a
Uttlu mirror, which ho holds 111 ono hand. A
powerful, athletic looking man stands not fur
away swinging with all his might a pair of
priaiilivo Indian clubs, while a poor old hag

splash about, and then run out again and roll
their wet bodies in the dust or lio down upon
the warm stoi.e steps that lead down to the
water. Un the top step nits motionless a
hubby infant whoso mother has washed him
xnd set him up there to dry.
A DARK HUED APHRODITE.
A young girl walks trippingly down to the
dge of tho water and daintily puts her well
ihaped foot, the toes of which are perhaps
covered, though not adorned with rings, into
the water as though to feel its temperature,
and then suddenly draws it out as if it turned
out to be a little cold. But at last she plunges
boldly in, and thut wonderful river that has
witnessed moro sacrifices or murders than
any other body of water in tho world re
ceives her beneath its surface, above which a
second later she emerges like a young mer
maid nnd, like the dark hued Aphrodite,
shakes tho drops of water from her hair.
Down tho bank come four men carrying on
stretcher a dead body, with only a cloth
thrown over it, eo thin that through it can be
teen distinctly tho outlines of tho corpse,
rtiey pile up wood, place the corpso upon it,
pile on more wood, and after a few muttered
words light the funeral pyre, whilo tho friends
and relativesof tho dead sit around and watch
the body as it burns in the open air. Tho
wood drops down and one sees a leg half con
lumcd or an arm burned in two. But the at
tendants pi!c on more wood and the burning
and the wutching go on. When all has been
lonsumed the last few ashes are cast into the
river. JJowu to the water comes a high cast
Brahmin woman clad in brilliant garments
and attended by numerous servants, for all
alike must butho in the sacred stream.
At intervals along the bank, on raised plat
forms, sit the priests, by far the most intelli
gent looking of the great throng. And when
they come out these priests paint the fore
heads of tho devotees with peculiar markings,
accept their offerings and encourage them in
their idolatrous practices. Off they go to
some favorite templo to worship some idol
and make way for the new comers who wish
to bathe in the sanctified stream. And the
livino river goes on in its course as it has
lone for centuries, receiving the devotions of
the faithful, who wash themselves in its
waters, and perhaps jVjoicing that a higher
civilization has pu' a stop to a practice that
made it tho tine nscious cause of many a
mother's anguish and worship. Cawnpore

The leister Islnnd Images.
Lieut. Stone, who secured tho prehistoric

Mohican, stilled to a reporter that the imago,
which is now oa its way here, is about i! feet

roughly carved or hewed. A head of another

REPORTING A SECRET CAUCUS.
Watching; the Shadows of the Speakers.
Making I'p a Fair Report.
"I remember one occasion, more than
twenty years ago, when tho representatives of
several papers were directed to leum all they
could about a secret caucus. Each man was
on his metal, but all were- kept ut a safe dis
dance from the room in which the noted poli
ticians met. Vi'lien the meeting was called to
order the reporters were in despair, because
they were under guard, as it were, in a room
separated from the assembly hall by a wide
corridor, or so situated that they could see
nothing and hear nothing. But it so happened
that along that sido of the hall wero a num
ber of low windows. The heavy ground glass
prevented thos who used the corridor from
seeing what was going on within, but ad
mitted the light.
"As the seven or eight newspaper men wen)
sitting disconsolate, looking across to the
caucus room, tho shadow of a man appeared
on tho glass of tho almost continuous window
exteiidinu alonn tho side. Some ono had
mountedlne chair to address the chairman of
tho meeting, and the boys recognized him by
hi-, vestures. Iu tho midst of what appeared
to bo a rather exciting speech ho was pulled
down from behind, and another man a little
further to the front popped up. Tho new
speaker was recognized by tho contour of hla
heud and the cut of his clothes. The reporters
scattered at onco to different points of obser
vation, and when tho caucus ended they had
a pretty fair record of tho persons who had
spoken. Knowing how tho speakers stood on
tho question beforo the meeting, they mado
up from their shadow pantomime certain
prognostications as to what was said, on
which they interviewed everv man whose
shadow thoy had seen on tho ground glas3 of
tho windows.
"Going to one man a reporter would s; :
'Baker talks too much with his hands, doesn't
hel1 and then he would go through tho ges
tures characteristic of Mr. Balcer when he
was much excited, accompanying them with
certain declarations of his own. This would
be greeted with a laugh and corrections would
bo made. To another man another reporter
would say that his remarks hail been criti
cised by somo one who mimicked h's gestures
and who gavo out the Impression tfc at tho old
gentleman had mado a goose of h'mself, and
the reporter w ould indulge in sou le extrava
gant gestures characteristic of t'je speaker.
This would bo followed by an iu lignant de
nial and by a hasty statement of what ho did
say. W orking 111 this way the seven men be
fore midnight had by comparing notes and
observations written out a pref.ty fair report
or what occurred insulo tho hall." Inter
Ocean "Curbstone Crayons."
Tlio Nuisances of Paris.
Tho boulevard is becoming moro and more
disagreeable, owing to tho continual increase
of processions of ragged sandwich men, who
by day carry hugo placards mounted banner
wise on poles, and by mght transparent adver
tisements in the shane of lanterns or luminous
tambourines. Hatters, cheap jewelers, music
hall keepers, showmen of nil kinds and of all
grades resort to this method of obtaining
publicity and impeding circulation. Another
nuisance is the howling "eamelot," who deals
in second class newspapers and broadsheets
and bawls his ware from morning until mid
night. News, scandal and pornography share
in almost equal proportions the attention of
these hoarse voiced and horrible creatures,
whose presence nnd whose cries render the
boulevards a most disagreeable promenade.
Ihe other day a group of artists professing
an ardent love for Paris, and having at their
head the great Meissouier, protested against
tho erection of the 1,000 foot Eiffel tower, on
the ground that it would disfigura and dis
honor Paris, tho queen of cities. In the inter
est of Paris it would bo perhaps advisable to
protest against tho disfigurement of tho streets
of tho capital by these crowds of sandwich
men and bawling hawkers. Liberty is doubt
less an excellent thing, but in Paris we are
beginning to have too much of it. With its
streets and gardens, its monuments, its the
atres, its Cue houses and it? mild climate,
Paris ought to bo a favorite winter city. But
if the authorities do not look to it, owl if the
Parisians do not themselves make cn effort
toward gayety and elegnnco, Paris will soon
become neither a favorite winter ci; v nnr n
favorite summer city. Theodore Child in
ixmuon vv oriel.
Ouo Way to Save Money.
"I never go to Chicago," said a nale. John
Oakhurst stylo of faro dealer, "without gt
ting broke. J,'o matter how firmly I make up
my mind not to do it, I always laud nt a faro
game and always lose. There seems to be a
fatality about it. Often and often I have
been embarrassed for money to pay
railroad fare away, ahd am always
on bad terms with myself for a mouth
afterward. On ono occasion I divided
my money and gave half of it to Par
son Davies, with strict instructions not to let
me have it until I was on my way to tho
train. That same day I got broke as usual,
immediately hunted up Davies and made
such a strong talk to hiin that he became dis
gusted, gave mo back my money and told me
never to como in his place again. By night I
hadn't a cent.
"The next trip I made to the oity, however.
I struck a scheme that I am thinking about
patenting. In the evening I felt tho old fas
cination creeping over me, and sat down and
tried to reason with myself. I knew if I gave
somo of my money to a friend to keep for me
I would bn certain to make him cive it hncb
and that ft was no use to try to stay away
from the game. Finally, by Jove 1 1 hit it. I
got an envelope off the hotel clerk, put half
my roll in it, directed it to myself, stamped
it and put it in tho mail box. You can bet I
didn't got that money till next morning.
Uuclo Sam wouldn't givo it up until tho mail
carrier camo around, and then I posted it
aguin nnd kept up toe operation until I was
ready to leave. 1 didn't havo to borrow for
a railroad ticket that trip." El Paso L?ttor.
A Very Young Merchant.
Some odd facts are occasionally found iusfc
beneath a most commonplace surface. Hap
pening in a large hat and cap establishment-
wholesale tho other day, I inquired for tho
proprietor. A boy about 11 years old was
pointed out to mo. "But I want to see the
proprietor," I said. "I am the proprietor of
this store what can I do for youf" exclaimed
the lad. And, suro enough, investigation
proved that he was tbo actual owner of the
establishment, and nominally tho head of the
firm. His father had owned the store, but.
having other business as we'd nnd not wislnnrr
to carry them both in his own name, present
ed tho bat and cap establishment to his 11
year old son and placed tho boy in charge.
Of course the father still exercises cenernl
control, but tho legal head of tho firm, signer
of checks, keeper of tho combination ofthe
safe nnd man of authority is the son, un
doubtedly the youngest wholesale merchant
