S§TOCKS TUMBLE.
THE COTTON SEED OIL COMBINE HAVING
CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE,
Calamity seemed to reach its climax
Thursday, for the bulls in the trast
stocks, on the stock exchange at New
York. The grief wns concentrated in
cotton oil crowd. Everybody was pre
dicting aw immediate advance of many
pointsin cotton oil certificates, bused on
the rosy programme of converting the
trust into a corporation, and reducing the
capital from $42,000,000 to $30,000,000.
doubt of the success. But ulas for the
frailty of promises and prospects in Wall
street, the popular expectation failed
sadly of realization. Immediately on the
opening of the market there was on over
whelming pre:sure to sell. The first sale
was 414, and from that point
a decline instantly set in,
which had no check until the
price was hammered down to 36}. This
tumble of five full points meant a
shrinkage of over $2,000,000 in the mar
ket value of the total capital
of the trust. The scene on the
stock exchange Dbaffles description.
The real reasnn for the most of the de
cline was probably because of the serious
disappointment which some prominent
insiders felt at the annual report. The
showing of earnings for the last year is
by no means flattering. For the first six
months the net profits were entirely sat
isfactory, but'the last six months were
bad. The total met earnings for the
year amount to a little over $1,600,000
which is at least $1,000,000 less than
officially predicted. Several of the mills
belonging to the trust have been shut
down on account of proving un
profitable, and it is said that several
more will probably have to be closed for
the same reason. The corporation into
which the trust is to be resolved will be
known as the Cotton Oil Company of
New Jersey.
A REPORTED BATTLE
IN KENTUCKY IN WHICH SIX MEN ARE
KILLED.
A special to the Louisville Courier-
Journal from Pineville, Ky., says: News
reached here that Judge Lewis came up
with Howard and his gang Thursday on
Martin’s Fork and killed six of the How
ard gang without losing a man., Three
of the men killed were named Hall, one
named Whitlock, the other two names
not learned. Friends of the judge say
that he is determined, and will never
quit his chase until Howard and his gang
are all killed or driven from the country.
Both parties are being reinforced daily,
and more bloodshed is expected. It 1s
thought that Howard has gone to Vir
ginia, but is expected to return. The
best citizens of Harlan county, Ky., are
joining Judge Lewis, and with such a
determined leader there is no doubt but
that the law and order party will come
out victorious, and break up the gang
that has been a terror to all eastern Ken
tucky for the last twenty-five years.
SUEING A NEWSPAPER.

the article suggested that she was not a
lady of birth or education, and that she
was not accustomed to associating with
persons of good positions.

It is reported that a system is being

gas can be made by electricity.
A course in sanitary engineering has
been added to the other courses in the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
According to the last census of St.

this total is increased by one quarter.

ways and a volume of smudge is raised
that darkens all the bills of mortality
and hangs over the valley of the Thames
like a monstrous pestilence.
A practical test has been made of a
new ventilator, which, it is claimed,
will ventilate cars without lettiny in
dust or cinders. Fans under the car
are operated by the motion of the latter,
and drive air through a box containing
water, which filters and 'cools it, into a
central tube along the roof, and thence
through smaller, bell-mouthed tubes
into the car. Whenever the car moves,
a constant current of air is secured, even
when the doors, windows and all other
apertures are closed.
The manufacture of the new six-inch
gun, of which 100 have be:n orlered
for British land and sea service, has
been stopped until a cartridge case of
solid drawn meta! can be devised which
will stand the shock of discharge of
twelve pounds of smokeless powder,
and which can be used over and over
again. This the authorities have not
yet been able to do, and the machinery
engaged in the manufacture of these
guns is all standing idle, as well as the
guns already manufactured.
Dr. T. H. Bean, in charge of the
party investigating the Alaska salmon
fisheries, ' reports to Colonel Marshall
McDonald, United States Fish Commis
sioner, that they have visited Karluk
Lake, found the spawning beds of the
red salmon and explored all the Karluk
River, except eight miles of rapids. Oa
the nests of the fish were found small
miller's thumbs, a species of uranidea
resembling the one which proves so de
structive to eggs and young fish in
Eastern streams. The number of spawn
ing salmon was disappointing, whilo
the enemics of the fish are numerous.
| Gafiing Lobsters.
} The usual metod of taking lobsters
is by means of the pot. The pot is a
trap baited with fish, and which is
sunk toa certain depth. These traps
are marked with bouys, left for a tide,
| and then the lobsterer goes out in his
boat, hauls up his trap, and sccures his
lobsters. At times, however, off the
coast of Maine the:2 are
estuaries, - which are of great
‘ length. running between the
ledges of rock. Pools are many and of
considerable depth. When lobsters are
plentiful, at certain seasons, %hey run
in from the sea, and scek these estuaries
for food, small fish being abundant. As
the tide recedes, the lobsters re
main in some of the rocky basins,
and can be ' gaffed. The gaff
has a stout hickory stock, and
the gaff itself is generally three- pronged,
and made out of the best steel. - A good
gaff is rarely bought ready-made, but is
turned out by the village Dblacksmith.
Its temper must be excellent, as it must
neither be too soft nor brittle. To use
the gaff requires no small amount of
skill, for in the water the movements of
the lobster are rapid. He car back or
turn in the fraction of a second, and
then in color ho assimilates o the shado
of sca-water. Many of tho largest lob-

The President's Primeval Neighbors
President Harrison has had some in
teresting neighbors at Deer Park. They
are the mountaineers from the Backbone
mountain, who come over to the village
twice a year driving a yair of stolid,
heavy-eyed oxen attached to a primitive
sled, for the aboriginal of the Backbone
can make a s'ed of logs, although he
canno’ turn a wheel. Other noted
ne:ghbors are the mighty hunters of
Meadow and Orange mouniains, they
who have lived in their log cabins for
nearly one hundred years, trapping,
hunting and fishing. Sfeen in the vil'age
rare y are these mountain Nimrods, for
they have no need of money and rarely
barter. Once in a while one of them
will come to thevillage, a woman often,
astride an old mare, carrying home
made Eaniers, with a firkn of butter or
a bucket of eggs. If the chief magis
trate of the United States should wa k
three miles to the west of his daughter’s
cottage he would find a way of living as
primitive as that among the Indians
when white men first touched these
shores. He would see a plough which
is a crude triangle of wood, a sled made
of the untrimmed boug! s of trees, and
he might have cracked a whip as simple
as those used in the biblical days, for

Blondes aud Brunettes.
A French scientist has been making a
statistical inquiry into the colors of the
eyes and hair in I'rance, and from his
180,000 observations he deduces many
interesting results, one of the most cur
ious being that where the race is formed
from a mixture of b'ondes and brunettes
the hereditary blonde coloring comes
out in the eyes, and the brunette ele
ment reappears in the har. To this
tendency probably is to be attributed
the rarity of a combination of light
hair with dark eyes. Several observers
have asserted that the American people,
who are pre-eminently a mixzed race, are
becoming a dark-haired and blue-eyed
nation, and if this be true, such a devael
opment must be owing to the working
of this law.
Good Rules.
Learn your business thoroughly. Keep
at one thing; in no wise change. Al
ways be in haste, but never in a hurry.
Observe system in all you do and under
take. Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. One to-day is worth
two to-morrows. Be self-reliant; do
not take too much cdvce, but rather
depend upon yourself. Never fail to
keep your appointments or to be punct
ual to the minute. Never be idle, but
keep your mind or hands usefully em
ployed, except when sleeping.
