CROP REPORTS AID THE MARKET

Grain Yield for the United States This Year Will Be Of Bumper Proportions. OTHER THINGS FAVORABLE. EASY MONEY AND THE DISSIPATION OF POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY AID GENERAL SITUATION, 8 AYS HENRY CLEWS. New York, July 13. Th three most important influences contributing to strengthen the stock market last week were a good crop report, the dissipation of political uncertainty and an easy money market. Added to these developments were signs of business Improvement and rising confidence in various quarters. Good news of the right sort was forthcoming In the form of favorable crop reports. The July government estimates Indicated 2,726,000,000 bushels of corn, which would be 130,000,000 bushels more than last year and has been exceeded but once, and that by the bumper crop of 2,927,000,000 in ;1906. The wheat crop Is estimated at 693,790,000 bushels, or 58,000,000 bushels in excess of last year, and closely 'approaches. the largest crop on record. 'The promise for oats is 1,012,000,000, a bumper yield and comparing with 754,000,000 bushels a year ago. In addition to a full grain harvest the cotton crop promises to be abundant, ! prevalent estimates being about 13,000,000 bales; and we have already secured a good crop of hay. The fruit crops, too, are better than usual. There Is, of course, the probability of these estimates being reduced by unfavorable weather. July and August are often months of deterioration, and In September there is always danger of early frosts to both cotton and corn 1n the northerly sections of the producing states. But these two leading crops are not so backward as a year ago; ami, with larger acreage and better condition than existed at this time In 1907, there is ample ground for hopefalness regarding the crop situation. Since prices for nearly all agricultural products are high, especially corn, our farmers are assured of another prosperous year. Cotton and wheat are cheaper than a year ago, but current prices still afford a liberal profit to the grower. Nothing more fortunate could happen at this time than a good harvest, for nothing could contribute more effectually toward a general revival of business than large and profitable crops. The wheat crop will stimulate railroad traffic, and the probability of a good export demand will strengthen our credit abroad. Corn is a product that will be turned largely Into pork and beef; also giving a big tonnage to the railroads and tending ere long to lower the present high and burdensome prices for meat products. Surely the country is jus tified In taking on a spirit of hopeful ness as long as nature continues as a special partner. Outside of the agricultural situation, there are also visible signs of im provement. Mr. Gary's optimistic in terview regarding the steel trade had a good effect; for while It was evident ly made as hopeful as possible, it really had a basis of facts, Inasmuch as the reduction in nrices stimulated orders and .placed the steel situation on a sounder basis. In the entire country there has been a reduction of fully 30 per cent In building expenditures during the past six months, so that the June returns were decidedly encouraging. Still another sign of improvement was the decrease of 36,000 in the number of unemployed cars during the month of June. Railroad officials are now beginning to emerge from their slough of despond, and to anticipate improved traffic returns during the coming weeks as a result of the harvest and trade betterments. Another satisfactory indication was in bank clearings, which in June showed a loss of only 22 per cent compared with losses of 25 or 20 per cent and over in earlier months. The losses in bank clearings are at last becoming less pronounced In the Gastern cities, and more visible In the west, showing that the panic wave Is gradually passing westward, and Bhould in due time be lost in the Pacific ocean. Facts such as these are of 'infinitely greater value as a basis of Judgment than all the chatter and "mental healing" treatment of our well meaning prosperity boom ers, who evidently wanted others to take risks which they themselves were tin-willing or unable to assume. In view of all these favorable developments it is not surprising that the market took on a wider and stronger activity. At the moment the indications are that the present rise may be carried to a still higher level; there being no hindrance in sight except the possibility of realizing which naturally increases as the advance progresses. The present advance, however, is being conducted by big operators who have immense monetary resources behind them. The public is not in the market to any extent, and never does enter until a pronounced rise has begun to take place. It is not likely, therefore, that the present leaders will let go until a period for safe unloading has arrived. History shows that presidential campaigns have not usually exerted the detrimental influence upon business that is generally supposed. It is only when some grave issue was at stake, such as the silver craze in 1896, that business has been seriously in danger. The memory, however, of such an experience is lasting, and tends to unnecessarily stimulate doubt when occasion suggests. The operations of market leaders are just now greatly facilitated by excessive redun0ajacx la the money, market, which.

practically amounts to a considerable degree of inflation. Our banks are congested with Idle money, which they will lend only to borrowers of unquestionable credit and upon the best collateral. There is fortunately a great deal of conservatism still prevailing in banking circles; as well as a general disposition to have nothing to do with new financial schemes or flotations except those of the most desirable class. The fact, also, that many of those engaged in syndicates and other financial operations previous to the panic are still more or less tied up financially acts as a preventive upon various speculative enterprises.

PLANS BEING MADE. Committees for Centerville Home Coming Active. Centerville, Ind., July 13.

There are seven views in Centerville represented. Among them are Maple1 wood park and the Morton house. John T. Fox has been appointed treasurer of the advertising committee. THE GIANT INDIANS. Feeallar Ways of the Onaa of Tterra del Fveffo. The Onas, a tribe of Indians inhabiting the mainland of the Tierra del Fuego island, are physical giants. Their average height is over six feet. A few are six and one-half feet; a few fall below six feet. The women are more corpulent and not so tall. There is no race in the world with a more perfect physical development than the Ona Indians. This is partly due to the topography of the country and the distribution of the game, which makes long marches across the country a necessity. In mentality they fall far below their physical attainments. In the past their supply of game has been plentiful, and this may account for the lack of inventive genius among them. This lack of progressive skill is portrayed in their home life, clothing and homes. Their children suffer from it. for, contrary to the practice common among most Indians of feeding, dressing and training the children well, the Onas little ones are mostly naked, poorly fed and altogether neglected. They have abundant material for supplying themselves with clothing and homes, and yet they throw a few branches together, put skins over the windward side and then shiver under the miserable shelter. Scientists who have made a study of the subject say that the language of the Onas is the strangest ever listened to. Many of the words are not difficult to pronounce, nor is the construction of the sentences difficult, but very few words are interrupted by a sound which it is impossible to produce. The speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, distorting his face in the most inhuman manner, and then passes on to the next stumbling block. The Onas live principally upon meat, which in former years was obtained from the guanaco. New York Herald. l. this concern 70U. read careJalTri t.

NAPOLEON'S ESCAPES.

fcecklcH mt Daacer, the Great Sola dler Waa Oftem Wemaacd. In reply to the question in what engagements he considered himself to have been in the greatest danger of losing his life Napoleon once said, "In the commencement of my campaigns." Indeed, if further proof were demanded to show that he did not spare himself at Toulon it is only necessary to add that during the ten weeks of its siege Napoleon, in addition to a bayonet wound in his thigh, had three horses shot under him, while at the siege of Acre during the expedition to Egypt he lost no fewer than four in the same manner. During the last days of his life, when captivity, disappointment and sickness had well nigh completed their work, it is said that the agony of his fatal disease drew from him on many occasions the pitiful cry of, "Why did the cannon balls spare me?" During his long military career Napoleon fought sixty battles, while Caesar fought but fifty. In the early part of his career he was utterly reckless of danger while on the battlefield, and this spirit of fearlessness contributed largely to the love and esteem in which he was held by his armies. There was a curious belief among the English in Napoleon's time that he had never been wounded, and indeed the report was current that he carefully if not in a cowardly manner refrained from exposing himself. Nothing could be more contrary to the truth, for he was in reality several times severely wounded, but as be wished to impress upon his troops the belief that good fortune never deserted him and that, like Achilles, he was well nigh invulnerable, he always made a secret of his many dangers. He therefore enjoined once for all upon the part of his Immediate staff the most absolute silence regarding all circumstances of this nature, for It is almost impossible to calculate the confusion and disorder which would have resulted from the slightest report or the smallest doubt relative to his existence. Upon the single thread of this man's life depended not only the fate and government of a great empire, but the whole policy and destiny of Europe as well. NATAL AUTOGRAPHS. SlaTO Manual of the Child That Does Kot Chance In Life. There is born with every one of us and, continues unchanged during our lives an unfailing and ineradicable mark or marks, which absolutely distinguish each one of us from every other fellow being. These physical marks never change from the cradle to the grave. Thi born autograph is impossible to counterfeit, and there is no duplicate of it among the teeming billows In the world. Look at the lnsides of your hands and the soles of your feet; closely examine the ends of your fingers. You see circles and curves and arches and whorls, some prominent with deep corrugations, others minute aud delicate, but all a well defined and closely traced pattern. There is your physiological signature. Run your hands through your hair and press finger tips on a piece of clear glass. You see all the delicate tracing transferred not two fingers alike. Even "the left hand knoweth not what the right hand doeth." They are distinctly different. Even twins may be so little different in size, features and general physical condition as to be scarcely distinguishable, yet their finger autographs are radically different. In fact, in all humanity every being carries with him on his baby fingers and his wrinkled hand of decrepit old age the identical curves, arches and circles that were born with him. Nothing except dismemberment can obliterate or disguise them. Criminals may burn and sear their hands, but nature, when she restores the cuticle? invariably brings back the natal autograph. What 'a In m Xame? Frequently in the south one finds among the negroes as remarkable Christian names as those bestowed upon their offspring by the Puritan fathers. A gentleman of Virginia tells of a negro living near Richmond who for years had been familiarly known to him as Tim. It became necessary at one time in a lawsuit to know the full name of the darky. The not unnatural supposition that Tim stood for Timothy met with a flat denial. "No, sah'" exclaimed thejjegro. "Man name ain't Timothy. It's What-timor-ous-souls-we-poor-mortals-be Jackson.

ACTED LIKE DOGS Men Stand on Bank and Watch Woman Drown in Chicago River.

ONE STEALS HER PURSE. Chicago, July 13. While 200 men and boys sat or stood within a comparatively few feet of her and in sight of nearly 1,000 others, an unidentified woman fell or rolled purposely from the north pier at the mouth of the Chicago River Sunday afternoon and drowned. Although she screamed repeatedly for assistance, not a hand in the crowd that watched her struggles in the water was lifted to save her. Instead, one of the gazers stole the woman's purse and hat, which she had placed on the pier beside her. and fled. A half hour later the body was taken from the water by Capt. Carland and his men. "Those men acted like a pack of dogs," said Capt. Carland, who has been in charge of the North Pier Life Saving Station for years. "Any one of them could have stepped down to the landing and pulled her out by the hand. They all gathered at the end of the pier and looked on while she arose to the surface two or three times screaming for help." Statements of witnesses differ as to whether the woman intentionally hurled herself into the river or whether she first fell over on her side and then rolled into the water as if stricken by the heat. SHE WAS INSULTED. Ths Sting In the Letter That Came For Her Husband. "Harry, love," said Mrs. Knew to her husband when he entered his home a few evenings ago, "I've been dreadfully insulted." "Insulted?" repeated Mr. Knew indignantly. "By whom?" "By your mother." "My mother, Flora? Nonsense, dear. She's the kindest woman in the world. And how could she insult you? She isn't here; she's miles away." "But, Harry, she did insult me," persisted Flora, "and it was done In a letter." "Show it to me." "I'll tell you about it. A letter came for you this morning addressed in your mother's handwriting, and so, of course, I opened It" "Of course," said Mr. Knew dryly. "It was written to you all the way through, you understand?" "Yes, I undertsand that, but where i does the insult to you come in?" j "In the postscript. When I read ; along to that it said, 'Dear Flora Don't fall to give this, letter to Harry; ! I want him to have it' Now, tell me,' wasn't that an insult?" Pearson's ! Weekly. j The Unprodigal Son. The president of a club of New York waiters said the other day of a parsimonious young man: "He resembles a chap they tell about In Bucks county. "This chap lived alone with his father. On the old man's death he would Inherit the farm. "Well, finally the old man took sick. His end drew near. The son sat up with him a night or two, expecting him to pass away, but he lingered on. "On the fifth or sixth night the son. Instead of sitting up, put a lamp, turned low, very, very low, on a table by the bed and went off to his own room with the caution: " 'When you feel that It Is all over with you, father, don't forget to blow out the lamp.'

RECKLESS AARON BURR..' The Dramatic Story of His Msrrlags In Old Age. The story of Aaron Burr's marriage In his old age to the widow of Stephen Jumel, who was well known In the early history of New York city, is a dramatic oue. Conceive, If you will, the picture of Burr, gifted adventurer that he was, broken in health, branded in the popular mind as the murderer of Alexander Hamilton and returning from a long exile to find himself an outcast in the city where he had nce been the political monarch of all be surveyed and a distinguished figure in society and at the bar. Conceive, if you can. this lamentable old man, smirking through his wrinkles, bowing and prancing rather stiffly because of his rheumatic joints and with his mouth full of pretty platitudes, paying court to the widow of Stephen Jumel, herself in the prime of years and health. Remove from the picture its surface Incongruities, and you have a bit of pure pathos unequaled In the annals of foolish great men. But something of his old time pow er to charm the gentler sex must have , stood by him in his years of mental j ana pnysicai misery, ror in nis suit ror the widow Jumel's hand and fortune he won gloriously, dramatically. Rebuffed repeatedly, Burr finally declared In passionate rage that on a given day li would arrive at the Jumel mansion :t panied by a clergyman, who should uiurry them on the spot. He would give his prospective bride no quarter, no chance of escape from the inevitable. She was amused at the threat and dismissed the old man with more than her usual coldness of demeanor. Burr stuck to his avowal and one July day rolled up in a carriage, and with him was a minister, the same who fifty years before performed the marriage ceremony for Burr and the mother of his daughter, the beautiful Theodosia. There was something of a scene in the old house on this day. There were tears of anger on the part of Burr. Relatives remonstrated; Burr remained Immovable. All feared a scandal. Tbo minister, book in hand, stood unobtrusively in the background. There were more tears, more declarations of undying love, and the widow Jumel became Mrs. Aaron Burr. They were married in the great drawing room of the Jumel mansion. Burr squandered with reckless hand the wealth acquired by Stephen Jumel and left for the enjoyment of his marital partner. There were many bitter quarrels between the ill mated pair, and they were soon divorced. Burr died in 1836, but madam lived until 18G5, dying a recluse and a miser, the money received from the Jumel estate hoarded In an unused chamber. Stones and Glass Houses. The origin of the saying. "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones," Is as follows: At the time of the union of England and Scotland London was inundated with Scotchmen, and the London roughs used to go about at night breaking their windows. Buckingham being considered the chief Instigator of the mischief, a party of Scotchmen smashed trie windows of the duke's mansion, known as the Glass House. The court favorite appealed to the king, who replied, "Steenie. Steenle. those who live In glass houses should be careful how they fling stones!" New York AmeriCan vV" Mathematics at Oxford.
