Dun fc Co.'s weekly Iteview of Trade to-morrow will say: 'Somewhat lower luotatlons for wheat are not surprising, in view of the general tendency to increase estimates of the crop far beyond the quantity indicated by oinclal figures of condition. Another weakening: Inlluence is the slight decline of exports below the recordbreaking movement in the lirst two weeks of August.

"August oper.ed with the commercii.l sky overcast by storm clouds that threatened berlous Injury to the su-el industry, while drought in the Southwest aroused pessimistic predictions that business was on the verge f,f a severe setback. Thousands of idle strikers, together with a prolitlesa fccason in agricultural regions, meant inactivity in manufacturing, trade and transportation, according to the prophets of evil. Instead of these calamitous conditions, however, the month ends with a horizon that is amost clear, and each day resumption of work at an Idle mill adds tc the productive capacity, while canceled rdtrs for merchandise Xroni dealers In the drought lection are rapidly reinstated. After many years of steadily-increasing prosperity the farming population can face moderate hisses with equanimity. Jobbers und manufacturers report that orders for tall goods have exceeded any previous year, vith noticeable demand for the better grades, and there is a definite, measure of active trade in bank exchanges at this city 71 per cent, larger than in the same veek last year and -US above Ib'j'J, while at other leading cities the increase is M.'2 and -3 per cent., respectively. Although scarcity of freight cars holds back a large tonnage, railway earnings thus far rported for August show a gain of 12.1 per ctnt. over last year and SJ.G over P !'.'. Quotations of steel products are still nominal, owing to the difficulty experienced In securing prompt delivery. It is estimated that not more than 1'u per cent, of the steel company's capacity has been stopped by tho strike and this proportion daily decreases. Consumers of tin plate have sent supplies abroad, so that their work is not badly handicapped, and while it is to be deplored that American capital and wage-earners will lose the profits of thij business, it is fortunate that other Industries are not disturbed. Foot-wear shops continue in splendid position and the demand for leather is large at well-maintained prices. Hide. are sharing the improvement, with higher priced and activity at the West. Woolen nulls are crowded with orders, even the smaller concerns participating, and the wool market is steady, despite weakness abroad."' HOEY HELD ON TWO CHARGES.

Mob, However, I SllllScarcllni? for 3Ii llenderjunr Sluyef. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. CO. "Possie" Francis, the negro who assaulted and murdered Miss Mary Henderson at the home of her brother-in-law, Chap Hyatt, near Columbus, Mo.', Tuesday afternoon, is still at large, and his pursuers reluctantly admit that he has eluded them and probably left the country. Kvery clew has been traced to an unsuccessful conclusion, and interest in the chase is at a low ebb. Toward evening word was received at Holden that a negro who answers the description of Francis was seen at the Sankey schoolhouse, a deserted place, two miles south of Holden. It is reported the negro has been staying in the deserted schoolhouse and had asked for food at the home of Harlan Smith, a farmer, near there. A posse from Holden started for the Sankey schoolhouse. The posse did not find the negro, but learned that he had boarded a west-bound Missouri Paeilic train three miles west of Holden. The train left at S:: and a telegram to the conductor was sent to Pleasant Hill. The conductor wired back that the negro had ridden about ten miles and jumped off near Trashurg, where there is a dense forest. A posse from Holden Immediately started for the neighborhood in which the negro is supposed to be in hiding. Governor Dockery to-day offered a reward of JJio for the capture of the murderer, and the Johnson county omciala offered a reward of flou. A council of Francis's pursuers has already decided that his punishment shall be meted out at the stake. V. C. Hyatt, Miss Henderson's brother-in-law, approves of this method of dealing with the negro. "I want hlrn to be brought hen to the scene of the crime," said Mr. Hyatt, at Columbus, this morning, "where he can make a confession. I want to recall to him how many years we cared for him and how kind Mary was to him, and ask him why he killed her. "Then, when he has answered that, I want to see him burned." "Will you apply the match?" was asked. "I will do something," he replied, with energy. l'Ieven Live 3Iny He lerileI. JACKSON, Miss., Aug. CO. A construction train loaded with negro laborers who had been drinking heavily passed through Terry, twenty miles south of here to-nig'.t, and caused great excitement in the town by firing a fusillade of bullets into the depot.

The train was stopped on the outskirts of Jackson by the entire police force, and nine men and two women arrested. The remainder of the. crew was allowed to proceed.

Material prosperity counts for much, but under It and through it there must be moral purpose, or else material prosperity will amount to but little. We must have ideals upon which to live if wo are to make the Nation what it shall and what it must be. He spoke in eulogistic terms of Illinois's great sons Lincoln.

During the naval maneuvers off Halifax harbor about 3 o'clock this morning a second Victoria Camperdown tlisaster almost resulted. The fleet was approaching the harbor to repel an imaginary attack by the torpedo boats. The lights were out on all of the ships and they were stealing their way in, the guns being all manned and the crews prepare 1 for action. When two miles off Camperdown signal station the cruisers Indefatigable and Psyche almost crashed together. Owing to the misunderstanding or an order issued from the flagship the cruisers swung inwards on the same circle. When the ships became visible to the crews in the moonlight they were heading straight for each other. The engines were quickly reversed and the excitement for a time was intense, the men from belowrushing to the decks. The ships' courses were at once altered and a serious accident was averted. LOUISVILLE DESERTED. Knight Templar Have Returned to Their Home The Last Pall. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Aug. CO. With the last strains of "Home, Sweet Home," at the supplementary ball to-night at the horse show building the last echo of the twenty-eighth triennial conclave of Knights Templars was heard. The various commanderies departed tc-day, leaving only a handful of knights in the city. The ball to-night was attended by some of them, but mainly by members of the local committees and ladies, including many sponsors for various commanderics, and by persons who were unable to attend the grand ball last night. The illumination ceased at midnight, and at that hour also reception headquarters were closed. BALLOON FELL INTO A TREE. Thrilling Kxperlenee of n Man nnd Girl Who F.Ncapcri Unhurt. COLUMRUS, O., Aug. CO. Ilarley Barker, of North Lewistown, O., and Lucy Shields, of Columbus, had a thrilling experience In a captive balloon at the state exposition this afternoon. The balloon had gone up about a hundred feet, when it was struck by a wind squall and the silk was rent, allowing the balloon to collapse. As the balloon settled it fell into the top of a tree. The occupants remained in the basket and escaped unhurt, but the girl fainted. IIASITO MAUKIAGH CUSTOMS. Girl. Are Deircl in n Family, for They 3Ia He Hxclianged for Oxen. Chambers's Journal. Among the curious customs of the Basuto customs which never change, but are handed down from generation to generation are thote connected with marriage. Suppose, good reader, you were a young Musoto, and had been smitten by the sight of a pretty face (the Mosuto idea of beauty is quantity; the lady must be fat very fat or she has no chance of being considered beautiful), you would be an aggressor against all the laws of etiquette were you to speak to her, though you might look at her admiringly. Should the attraction prove irresistible, your proper course of procedure would be to hunt up some old lady friend if a mutual friend so much the better and confide to her your wish to settle down and marry that particular fair one, begging her to arrange everything tor you as soon as possible. This she would gladly do, taking the lirst opportunity to call on the mother or friends of the wished for bride. The two ladies would then talk it over, discussing ways and means and your position in Basuto society. A large amount of tact is necessary, as the mother of the lady must convinced that the marriage is In every way desirable. If your friend could convince her that such was the case you might consider that fortune smiled on your cherished plans. To secure to the lady of your choice the full rights of a wife you would pay over to your future father-in-law 'so many head of cattle, accoruing to agreement, which is always based on tho supposed value of the bride, her social position, personal appearance, height, size, beauty, etc. This transfer of cattle makes binding the marital contract, securing the woman from ill treatment at the hands of her husband; for, should he ill use her, she may return to her father or guardian, and so tho man loses bcth his wife and his oxen. Tho parents of your wife would argue that tho payment of cattle was the very least you could do to recompense them for all the terrible anxieties und expense that they had gone to in bringing up their daughter for you. Nor do tho Basuto ever alter in this respect: even should they become Christians, their chiefs compel the payment of cattle for their wives. Of course, herein lies tho explanation of the joy manifested at th- birth of a girl in a Rasuto family. She is taken up and exhibited by her grandmother, who rirst slaps her and then kisses her, saying: "Luck! From this child may come herds of cattle!" The birth of a boy, on the other hand. Is deplored, for he is regarded as an expensive and unprofitable trouble. But to resume. Being now a son-in-law, you must have a care how you deport yourself toward your father-in-law, as you will bo expected to take a subservient position In regard to him. Ho may send for you at any hour of tho day or nlht to do all klndi of menial work, and you may refuse only at your peril. He can require you to prepare skins; bray, dry and clean them for him: plow his fields, sow seeds and attend to his crops; in fact, you are virtually his servant. For the lirst year after your marriage you would not take your wife faraway from her father's home, but would dwell with her in a kraal quite close to her parents. On the birth of the lirst child you would perform the ceremony of mokadec, which consists in presenting your mother-In-law with a certain number of cattle. Until this time you are not allowed to speak to your mother-in-law, or even to look at her; should you meet her uncxpectelly, politeness and custom make It necestary that you should hide your head. As a Musuto you need not limit your attentions to one wife, although you would distinguish your favorite lady as your chief wife, and It is her children who inherit, her son beinjj known as the "great" son. ;LAi)SToi:-iA;irr iii:thothal. Something About Tvi Prominent 1'ng11 .h Families. , London Chronicle. Mr. Herbert Gladstone, whose matrimonial engagement has just been made public, was generally regarded as a continued bachelor, which is scarcely surprising, because his tale of years is not far short of half a century. For over twenty years he has sat in the House of Commons, but, thanks to his devotion to physical culture, those years have passed very lightly over his head, and his figure Is still quite youthful. Overshadowed as he is by the memory of a great historical rigure he could scarcely expect to achieve much in politics, but he has proved himself a useful administrator and showed a certain amount of originality in accepting the post of chief whip after he had served as lirst .commissioner of works. Mr. Akcrs-Doufclas. on the other side of the House, precisely reversed this procedure. The Paget family into which Mr. Herbert Gladstone is about to marry is one of those F.nglish commoner families which are too proud to claim any connection with tho ennobled Pagets, whose head Is the Marquis of Anglesey. Sir Richard Horner Paget. Mr. Gladstone's future father-in-law, is a Somerset 'squire pure and simple. He s;it for something like thirty years &a a Somersetshire member In the House of Commons, and when he retired in lsy. he was made a privy councilor. He had been made previously a baronet, and owns a fair amount of land for a baronet, some i.ooo acres among the Mendip hills, where the famous Cranmore Tower Is a mark for miles around. The marriage between Mr. Gladstone and Miss Paget Is one more proof of the amenities of Knsrllsh politic.. The Rt. Hon. Sir Richard Horner Paget was always one of the "old pan?" and got hi reward for services to the party which his future son-in-law tpends his ll.'e in combating. Among the many wedding presents which are preparing will be one from th Byron Society. The society has arranged to receive subscriptions at its branches in Athens and Vienna, a well as In London. Mr. Herbert Gladstone was one of the founders of the society, the object of which is not. as so many People neem to think, to promote the study of Ryrou, but to carry on the poet's policy for reviving among the Greek nation the urta and letters of 1U ancient days.

NOT AN OPTICAL ILLUSION

swonn swAi.i.oiYixG ri'aixy Tin: FEAT IT A l PK A IIS TO HIT. Thront! of Mountehnnk Trnlnetl to Iteeeive AH !rl of Object IImt the Trick I Dune. Washington Times. Persons who visit those summer seaside resorts which are favored with a "boardwalk" with numerous little theaters along It, wherein are to be seen "continuous performances" of more or less merit, will have doubtless come across a "sword-swal-lower." This accomplished individual comes out dressed In a brilliant costume. At one side there are flags of different nations surrounding sabers, swords and yatagans, and at the other a stack of guns provided with bayonets. Taking a flat saber, whose blade and hilt have been cut out of the same piece of metal, he Introduces the point into his throat, tars the hilt gently, and the blade at length entirely disappears, lie then repeats the experiment by swallowing the blade at a single gulp. Subsequently, after swallowing and disgorging two of these same swords, ho causes one to penetrate up to Its guard, a second not quite so far, a third a little leys still, and a fourth up to about half its length. Pressing now on the hilts, he swallows the four blades at a gulp, and then he takes them out leisurely one by one. The effect is quite surprising, and the larger number of spectators account for it by the supposition that the performer produces an illusion, merely appearing to swallow the swords, which in reality find their way into some exterior receptacle. This is, indeed, sometimes the case, but the majority of sword swallowers really do introduce into their mouths and food passages the blades that they cause to disappear. They attain this result as follows: HOW IT IS DONE. Parts of the throat, despite their sensitiveness and their rebellion against contact with solid bodies, are capable of becoming so changed through habit that they gradually get used to abnormal contacts. This fact is taken advantage of In medicine. It dally happens that persons affected with disorders of the throat or stomach can no longer swallow or take nourishment, and would die of exhaustion were they not fed artificially by means of tho oesophageal tube. This tube Is of vulcanized rubber, wmich the patient swallows after the manner of sword swallowers, and through the exterior extremity of which milk or bouillon is introduced. But tho patient, before being able to make daily use of this apparatus, must serve an apprenticeship. The first introduction of the end of the tube into the pharynx is extremely painful, tho second a little less so, and it I? only after a large number of trials, more or less prolonged, that the patient succeeds in swallowing ten or twelve inches of the tubing without the slightest disagreeable sensation. With the sword swallowers it is absolutely the same, for with them it la only as a consequence of repeated trials that the pharynx becomes sufficiently accustomed to it to permit them to finally swallow objects as large and rigid as swords, sabers, canes, and even billiard cues. All sword swallowers do not proceed in the same way. Some swallow the blade directly without any intermediate aparatus; but in this case their sabers are provided at the extremity, near the point, with a small bayonet-shaped appendage, over which they slip a gutta-percha tip without the spectators perceiving it. Others do not even take such a. precaution, but swallow the saber or sword Just as it is. It is said that an old French zouave, who has become a Juggler, allows the spectators to touch below his sternum the projection that the point of the saber in his stomach makes on his skin. The majority of sword swallowers, however, who exhibit upon the stage employ a guiding tube which they have previously swallowed, so that the experiments tiny are enabled to perform become less dangerous and can be varied more. This guiding tube is marie of thin meta?. its dimensions permit of the easy introduction of the flat-bladed sabers, among otner , things, and of the performance of the four-sain r experiment, and of the Introduction of sabers and swords of all kinds. THE PHYSIOLOGY OF IT. To explain the trick from a physiological standpoint, the saber swallowed by the performer enters the mouth nnd pharynx first, then the oesophagus, traverses the cardiac opening of the stomach, and enters the latter as far as the antrum of the pylorus the small cul de sac of the stomach. In their normal state these organs are not in a straight line, but they are forced so by the passage of the sword. In the first place the head is thrown back so that the mouth Is in the direction of the Oesophagus, the curves of which disappear or become less; the angle that the oesophagus makes with the stomach becomes null; and, finally, the last-named organ distends In a vertical direction and its internal curve disappears, thus permitting the blade to traverse the stomach through Its greater diameter; that 1b to Bay, to reach the nmnll cul le wac. It should be mentioned that, before such a result can be attained, thr stomach must have been emptied through fasting on the part of the operator. Sword swallowers have rendered Important services to medicine. It was due to one of them a wwnllower of both sword and pebbles that, in 1777, a Scotch physician, Stevens, was enabled to make the lirst studies upon the gastric Juice of human beings. In order to do thK he caused this individual to swallow small metallic tubes pierced with holes and fllbsl with meat 110cordimr to Reaumur's method, and got him to disgorge them again after a certain length of time. It was also sword swallowers who showed physicians to what extent the pharynx could become habituated to contact, and from this resulted th Invention of the Foucher tube, the oesophageal tube, the washing out of the stomach by means of a rubber tube used as a siphon and the recent methods of illumination and photographing of tho stomach.

"As compared with the old-time shop with Its incessant clatter and din," said a shop superintendent, "the modern machine shop might almost be described as noiseless. "You used to hear In such places a constant rattling of wheels and a more or less continuous pounding. Now you might go through a big shop from top to bottom and never hear a hammer stroke; and instead of a general Jangle of sounds you would only hear a smooth, uniform hum; a noie to be sure, but not half so much iu volume as that heard in the old-time hop, and actually musical as compared with it All this is due to vastly improved modern m thods of work and enormously improved modern machines. ' "In old times they used to chip and file all Hat surfaces. You can Imagine what sort of racket such work as that must have made. Then we got the metal planer, which did the work belter and, of course, at far less noise and whlrh gradually did away with most of the chipping and filing. The planer can screech some now; but that doesn't begin to make the noise it used to and tho noise it does make is not to be compared with that of the chippers and fliers. "The old-time gear wheels were far more rattly and noisy than those of today. Extensively used in machine hhop In one way and another, such wheels were formerly all cast. Nowadays gear wh.-.-l for use where such accuracy Is desirable, are made by automatic gear-cutting machines, which cut the teeth on them with mathematical accuracy. Such whels as these are themselves beautiful productions of machine tool work; and when they -ome to be brought to use they make, of course, with their perfect form and their rice adjustment, one to another, far less noise than the old-time ordinary cogged wheels. "Another common sourc' of noise m the old-time shop was found In the poundlnt? of work ef any sort that was to be turned on arbors in the lathes. There Is nothing of that sort, or next to nothing, done In machine shops nowadays, that Is. hi the shop with modern equipment. Such work Is pressed on the arbor, noiselessly, with a compound screw, or by hydraulic jHjwer, or by steam power, the work being pressed off the arbor, when finished, in like manner.

GENERAL SCOTT MADE "LOOPS. Und to Aiiiivrer 5 1 in liar Chance III Xniiiewitke, Atlmlrnl Schley. New York Times. A very industrious delvcr Into history has found a parallel in the history of Rear Admiral Schley with his namesake, Gen. Winfield Scott. In lWi Scott had won some victories over the Semlnoles In Florida, and was summoned home at the instance of Generals Jessup and Gaines to answer some sort of charge that he had made a "loop" to get at the Indians. General Scott was tried at Frederick, where be made a speech. In which he compared himself to a Doge of Venice, comielled to visit France and humble himself before the "inflated monarch." Kvery body at that time knew that General Scott meant to describe Jackson as tho "Inflated monarch," tor he hated him with a bitter and unreasonable hatred. Scott was exonerated, but his troubles were not yet over. He w nt to Mexico ltli a little army, half of his T.ihkj being- raw recruits, but with them he stormed Chupultepee and won the capital. When Generals Worth and l'illow found opportunity they made complaints against Scott. He had not won his victory just as they would have had him win it. He was not accused of making a "loop" to get past the Mexican and Into their chief city, but he had been "reprehensible." President l'olk oegram d Scott before trial by depriving him of his command and then put him to court-martial. Scott sarcastically wrote to the pecretary of war: "Perhaps after my trial I may be permitted to return to the l.'nlted States. .My poor -ervicts with this muft gallant army are ut length to be resulted, as 1 have long been led to expect they would be." Refusing honors due to him as a victorious soldier, he returned homo as a ptivata citizen, stood trial again at Frederick, and. while the treaty he bad arranged was IxvIng signed to note the victory of his arms in Mexico, he sat in the dock to listen to the charges prompted by envy and hatred. He came forth not only acquitted, but to lo honored with the rank of lieutenant general by Congress, being the first o.lleer of tho United States army to obtain that rank tdnce George Washington. Wintleld Scott Schley was a boy of tender years when this trial took place. He may have looked in upon It, and possibly recalls it with strange interest. hi:i)i;i:mig .stampkii ciikcks.
