New York. Feb. B.—The Evening Post’s
London financial cablegram says: "The
stock markets here are quiet during the
progress of the settlement, which shows a
larger account than expected, notably In
Americans, where the contangoes are four
to five per cent. They would tie higher, but
for the comparative scarcity of the stocks.
After a distinctly firm tone durfng the
day, Americans and Grand Trunk closed
under the best.
New York, Feb. B.—The stock market
succumbed to the Cuban scare in spite of
London’s indifference to the fears reflected
by the New York Exchange of a rupture
between United States and Spain. The
strength of American securities in London
was partly accounted for by the progress
of the periodical settlement of American
account on that exchange. Prices were
bid up sharply before the opening here,
and resulted in a sympathetic rise In inter
national securities at the opening. Not
oniy was this the case, but when heaviness
developed here, London was a liberal buy
er at the decline, and was a very
important factor in sustaining prices dur
ing the forenoon session.
Americans were in demand in other for
eign centers, and from Frankfurt comes
the report that they were the features and
sustaining force of the market. Denver
and Rio Grande preferred was the favor
ite with London and it was able to hold
a substantial gain to the close, a conspic
uous exception in this respect. Quite a
number of stocks developed aggressive
strength at different time* during the day.
Metropolitan Street Railway rose at one
time 4 points, but fluctuated feverish be
low that in the final dealings, Michigan
Central, Northwestern, Omaha. Pullman,
Lake Erie and Western preferred and a
few less conspicuous stocks were at one
time over a point above last night’s eiose,
but the gains were practically eradicated.
Early weakness developed in the Union
Pacific stocks, and Norfolk and Western
preferred was keenly affected by profit
taking. Manhattan also broke 1% points
early in the trading, but showed a better
tone later. G< n#ra! Electric and Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis were
also heavy. The earlier part of the weak
ness had been to a large extent overcome
by the strength When the news. was re
ceived of the resolution proposing inter*
ference in the Cuban affair, which werq
introduced in the Senate. The covering
of shorts made but a feeble rally, ahd
mere was a disposition to renewed liqui
dation before the close.
The' money market weakened very appre
ciably to-day, cal! loans being made at 1
per cent. Domestic exchange at some in
terior points has turned sharply against
New York, and the withdrawal of an addi
tional 10 per cent, installment of the gov
ernment deposits of the Union Pacific pay
ment is due to-morrow.
,But these factors were unavailing to hold
the money rate. The sharp rise in the
sterling exchange of 14c in the actual
Tates and of in the posted rates is prob
ably to be attributed directly to the weak
ening of the money market. Kxchange
bills are offered, however, at only 14c
above tthe demand rate for delivery in May.
This Indicates ihat the present stiffness
of exchange rates Is not expected to hold
Dealings in bpnds continued very large
t®-day, but there was no individual trans
actions of such magnitude as yesterday.
There was some disposition to realize in
•pfulative issues, but the general ten
defcy was upward in the early dealings.

brook in stocks. Total sales, *5,575,000.

Wuycross, Ga., Feb. 7.—A local concern
which was organized last fall for the man

tary medicines is making a phenomenal
success and arrangements will soon be
made to advertise the remedies extensively

George W. Deen. a wealthy naval stores

A Free "Tip'* to the Candidates.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 7.-All the railway
employes here and those who have runs
out of Waycross, and many other citi
zens of Waycross, have been vaccinated
during the past few months. The candi
dates who attempt familiarity with sore
armed friends these (toys by catching hold
of the arms will probably lose votes by
doing so.

THE ORIGINAL OF CRUSOE.
A Slntue to Alexander Selkirk
Stands at Largo, in Fife.
From the Edinburg News.
If you ask a native of Largo, in the
Kingdom of Fife, where anybody lives, as
likely as'hot you will be toid to go "east
the statue.” You may not know what
that means, but if you put the precept into
practice you will soon he enlightened. Go
ing eastwards you will come upon a
statue of Alexander Selkirk, dressed as
Robinson Crusoe, in the goatskin cap and
garments in which Defoe originally cloth
ed him. The statue, unveiled about ten
years ago, Is set In a niche in front of the
house which now stands on the site of the
cottage where Crusoe was bora. It was
erected by Mr. David Gillies, of Largo,
whose remote kinship with Crusoe was ex
plained by himself the other day.
Mr. Gillies’ grandmother, an interesting
old lady who died some years ago, at the
ripe age of 83, was a great-grandniece of
Alexander Selkirk. She was proprietress
and occupant- of the house in which he
first saw the light, and guarded most re
ligiously his cup and chest, which, ns in
teresting relics, had descended as heir
looms in the family. Alexander Selkirk
was born in 1676. He seems to have been
a restless youth, not relishing much his
father’s occupation of making and mend
ing boots for the Largo folks. In 1659
we hear of him fighting in a mob who ob-
Jested to Episcopacy as then locally repre
sented, and later on, when Presbyterian
ism had triumphed, he was cited by the
kirk session to answer a dharge of un
ruly conduct in church. This was too much
for young Selkirk. Instead of going to
he wen*, to sea, where for six
years he led a roving life with the priva
teers. When he returned to Largo he
got into another brawl, this time a kind
of a family free fight, and the session
agaip took him in hand. *On this occa
sion he was bold enough to appear, with
the result that he had to bear rebuke in
presence of the congregation.
Three years later, that is to say, in'l7o4,
he went off to sea once more. And now
comes ihe romance of reality. He had
got on to a privateer as before, and by
and-hy a certain Capt. Strad’.ing made him
his mate. In course/of time some differ
ence arose between the pair, and one fine
day Selkirk was left to his fate on the
Island of Juan Fernandez, with only his
"kist,” a gun, a Bible nnd sundry other
belongings to represent civilization. After
four years of solitude he was taken off
the island by a Capt. Rogers, who happen
ed to land there in February, 1709. Rogers
was making a cruising voyage round the
world. In 1712 he published a quaint jour
nal of the voyage, which contains a groat
deal that is of interest regarding the find
ing of Selkirk and his actual life on the
Island.
Selkirk was soon himself again. Once
more he sailed away on the privateering
took, and in 1711 he reached London with
some £BOO as his share of booty. Of course,
his thoughts wandered to Largo, and one
Sunday morning he made his appearance
among the congregation who some years
before had witnessed his humiliation. The
story is that he was clad in gokl-laced
clothes, and was altogether so changed
that nobody recognized him but his
mother, who rushed to his arms and made
quise a scene in the church. But this
was not the end of Selkirk's escapades.
He remained in his native town, for some
time, but falling in love With a Largo girl,
by name Sophia Bruce, he eloped with
her to London and was marripd there. In
1717 he made a will in Mrs. Selkirk’s fa
vor, but she died soon after, and in 1720
Selkirk marridd again. By this time he
had entered the navy, and when he died
in 1723 he had attained the rank of lieu
tenant. Such was the original of "Robin
son Crusoe.”
Things That Ire Dlffereni In Mexico.
From 'Modem Mexico.
Mexican men and women carefully re
fold their handkerchiefs before returning
them to their pockets.
Women doctors are practically unknown
and the first woman- to be admitted to
the bar recently took her examination.
Most doctors have signs as large as those
of the dry goods stores, reaching clear
across the front of their office buildings.
Judges take a more active part in trials
than in the states, and as a rule question
the prisoners and witnesses direct, from
the bench.
The City of Mexico owns a closed stgjst
car without windows that is used for
transporting prisoners from one part of
the city to another.
Asa usual rule commercial houses have
certain hours for paying, just as a bank,
and many of them ohly make payment
one day in the week.
It is sometimes necessary to hold court
at least for a short time on Sunday, as,
under the law. Jury trials cannot be con
tinued for a longer time than twenty-four
hours.
Mexican butchers have no use for saws.
They cut beefsteaks, chops and everything
else with one big, thick knife, weighing
several pounds,' that they use both as
knife and cleaver.
No obstructions Whatever can bo placed
In the streets without authority from the
municipal authorities. A painter must
even get permission to put up his scaffold
from which to paint a sign on a building.
—Gabrlelle d’AVinunzio Is only 32, but
looks older. The features are worn and
thoughtful. The Italian playwright be
lieves in his mission, which is in brief the
propagation of Joy in life. He maintains
that this is the impress discoverable upon
each of his heroes. He speaks gratefully
of Mme. Surah Bernhardt, who has caught
Jus dramatic ideal to a nicety.
