The Market Fell Yesterday One Cent Below Friday's Prices. RESPONSIVE TO LIVERPOOL. In Chicago, However, May Wheat Advanced One and a Half Cents. Future Uncertain, The wheat market failed yesterday to continue on the upward grade which it has been pursuing since Monday. Up to the closing of the Produce Exchange call- board session Friday afternoon May wheat advanced from $1 093 to $1 17}, but yes- terday it dropped 1 cent. May wheat opened on the call-board ses- sion at §1 163{ and closed weaker at $1 1614. The market was a trifle quieter than on the previous day, there being less anxiety to buy May wheat, particularly among heavy speculators. This condition it was pretty generally conceded on 'Change was the result of a weakening of speculative tendencies combined with a responsive feeling in foreign markets. - The informal session closed 1}4 cents higher than the formal one, but street transactions later in the day fell off to $116}4, and some sales were made at $1 16. In Chicago May wheat, which closed Friday at 64)4, opened yesterday morn- ing at 633, but went up to 655 and closed 2t 653 and 3 on the street. The Conti- nental demand was impreing yesterday, but Enghsh demand was given as “dull but stiff.” Out of sympathy with the British condi- tion prices lost some factors of strength here, and then it was noticed that the men who bought largely early in the week were Testing yesteraay and appeared to be waiting developments. They evidently did not wish to go deeper untii they would have seen what next week might bring. George McNear bought largely when prices were at 9 and 10. It has been roughly estimated that his purchases amounted to 100,000 centals or more, but now that the price has advanced he and a few other heavy buyers are not exerting themselves. A group of brokers stood in the Mer- chants’ Exchange hall late in the day and while engaged in attempts at selling and buying discussed the situation. “It may go to §1 40 Monday,” remarked one broker. “Yes, or to $1 14,” replied another. “It’s all speculation.” Announcements on the Produce Ex- change board contained the information that the visible supply in the United States decreased abouc 1,000,000 bushels during the weak. This decrease was taken as an element of strength in the prices, since the smaller the supply the firmer prices be- come. In last month exports from the Argentine Republic fell off considerably, 80 there is some other caase for the flurry besides the shortness in Australia. A dis- patch from Dun’s New York Review of yesterday had this view of the situation: A deluge of foreign reports favorable to wheat speculation found ready answer in an advance of over 5 cents here in spite of West- ern receipts 50 per cent larger than last year. Atlantic exports for the week were also much larger than last year for the first time in sev- eral months, but for the crop year to date all exports have been about 11,600,000 bushels smaller than last year. The market has the idea that foreign demands hereafter must be | much greater because of the deficient supplies | elsewhere, but no one expects that the increase | will be at all commensurate with tne enor- | mous increase in Western receipts. ’ | With the comparatively dull close of the | week local brokers are anxiously waiting | to see what the market may do to-morrow. | HENRY COLAY WAS RATTLED. But He Remembered a Quotation That Helped Him Out All Right. In the early twenties of this century Mr. Clay was appointed by the Legislature of Kentucky a Commissioner to Virginia to ask of that State that a commission be ap- pointed to make a definite line of demarca- tion between the twb States. Upon his arrival in Richmond he was received with great courtesy by its most distingunished citizens. He said that his profession, poli- tics and affairs of Government had occu- | pied his time so exclusively that he was aware of knowing little of polite literature, or the favorite publications of the day. | This prompted him to ask an old friend, whom he knew to be a literary man, to se- lect some lines to introduce when adress- ing the Legislature, as a quotation ex- Eressive of his feelings to the State of rginia as his birthplace. His friend suggested a stanza from Scott’s “Lay of the Last Minstrel,” which he highly ap- proved and memorized. The day appointed for his address found the galleries, halls and. every available space crowded with eager, expectant au- ditors, and many beautiful women in bright attire gave brilliancy to the scene. He held the attention of his audience with entire success until he came to the part where he meant to introduce the quota- tion. Then his memory failed him. The shock was appalling for 8 moment. He | stood rigid and psFe before a thousand watchful eyes, in his mind only a blank, before him a turbulent sea of upturned faces. With a characteristic gesture he threw up his hands to his forehead, and in the most sonorous tones he recited the follow- ing words: Breathes there a man with sonl so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land’! Concluding his speech amid deafening ap- plause. Every one present had supposed that he was overcome by emotion, and none but the friend who had selected the quotation for him perceived the cause of his mo- mentary panic.—Conrier Journal. . Some Famous Cooks. Ude was the kitchen director of the fa- mous Crockford’s of London. He was a good cook and a bombastic author. His famous axiom was that it was gasier to compose an oratorio or an opera’ than to create a new entree, and that a cook was a greater artist than a Royal Academician or a professor of music. Soyer was also an extravagant and exaggerated writer on culinary topics. Apart from his services to the English troops during the Crimean war, he is mainly remembered by his hun- drea guinea dish, to produce which a hun- dred turkeys had to be killed, of which each supplied only the two dark meat lumps on each side of the rump, called by the French ‘‘le sot Iy laisse.” Francatelli’s *Modern Cook’ has become a classic through the ease with which bis recipes are susceptible of practical application. He was Queen Victoria’s chef and the in- novator in reducifig the number of dishes served at dinners of the time. Gouffe was ‘e culinary artist of the first class. His book is a standard grammar of the French school of cookery, and no work treating of superior domestic and bigher cookery has surpassed it in prnctic-f exactness and painstaking minuteness.—New York Sun. ——————— All Agree.

BRANCH STORES EVERYWHERE. GEORGE HALL CRITICISED, An Armenian Takes to Task the San Francisco Representative of the Sultan, REVOLUTIONARY SOCIETIES. The Turk Prays Every Evening for the Death of All the Un- believers, A. Ananoun, a well-known Armenian of this City, sends the following communica- tion concerning the recent article of Mr. Hall on the Armenian question: SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25. Editor of The Call: In Friday’'s Chronicle there was an article about the Armenian ques- tion .written by G. Hall. The article clearly shows that it was written by a Turkish Consul to please his august Sul- tan for some favors. We understand Mr. Hall's unfortunate posi- tion as a Turkish Consul, and feel sorry for him that his position makes it impossible for him to use his able pen otherwise. And we most sincerely advise him not-to stain the noble character of a citizen of America, the land which is a patron of the oppressed. It 1s better for him to keep silent in these critieal times, when' thousands of innocent lives are in danger, rather than to write about a question oé which he seems to have imperfect knowl- edge. For Mr. Hall has never been in Armenia, nor seen the soil of Armenia; nor have his curious searching eyes ever caught glimpses of the glazing domes of the Turkish mosques, nor his sharp ears—so quick to hear of Armenian of- fenses to report 1o the Sultan forsome reward— heard the prayers of the faithtul under the skyward towering domes, repeated five times a day, that “Oh, Allah, make the children of the unbelievers orphans, and give them, their wives and their Kossesnion!, to the faithful.” Nor has he seen the Armenians, except a few in this City, and we beg to remind him that whoever and of whatsoever character those few Armenians may be, yet they do not makea nation nor give a fair idea of its people. Judge Nye, in his address in the Oakland mass-meeting, said: “I know some of the Ar- menians in the cit {wlzh one I am very well acquainte as DOt been one born in America, nor has one stepped on the soil of this country, any better American than that Armenian.”” ' And again, Mr. Glad- stone, Mr. Stevenson, James Price of the English Parliament and Dr. Cyrus Hamlin, Rev. Dr. Green, Dr. Bliss and many American missionaries and travelers and writers have sald that the Armenians are an industrious, intelligent, faithful, peace-liking people. But what difference would it make, whatso- ever kind of people they may be; it is enough that they are of the human family. Let us look into the question from & Christian and humean point. It has been proved by able and trustworthy ersons that over 60, Armemans have been illed, that many are still being killed, and that half a million are left destitute and at the point of starvation. It is almost foolish to stop and inquire into the cause. Iam sure when Mr. Hall’s house was on fire he did not stop and inquire into the cause, but escaped and rendere nelr to his mother and to others in the house. Itis not time for inquiry. That has All'eld?' been done, and it produced the most appailing and heartrending results. It is time 10 extend some helping hand. Are we human? Let us do our human duty, then. The most astonishing part of Mr. Hall’s article was a wholesale denial and an effort to whitewash the Turk of the crimes commitied before the heavenward rising protests of Europe and America against his outrages, Lacking eviaences to support his views, M; Hall refers to Senor Zimmenes, a Spani traveler. All who have read last January’s papers will remember Senor Zimmenes, the so-called Spanish traveler, was paid by the Sultan to lecture in London to divert the pub- lic sympathies from the Armenians. It was discovered that he had never been in Armenia. In London the public would not even hear him. What that talsifying Spanish traveler said is unjust, is cruel. ‘I deny most emphati- cally his false accusations against missionaries, who, even in cases when Protestants were ar- rested, would not interfere for their release- Poor missionaries were often harassed and ac. cused in Turkey for not using their influence to better the condition of the Armenians, The missionaries were not the cause. It was the Bible they had in their hands, the Bible that they preached, the Bible which tells of human rights and how God made man free— that Bible is the cause. Shall we then de- nounce and accuse this Bible for what it has done for humanity? But the Bible will be preached, though Mr. Hell may dislike it. G will reign and the bells of sweet liberty will ring from shore to shore and lund to land, though the Sultan may oppose and Mr. Hall may object. They are passing obstacles; soon the way will be cleared of them., Concerning the Armenian revolutionary societies, of which Mr. Hall makes mention, as to their being wicked and fiendish, I will in another article enlighten the public, but let me say nere that ninety out of 100 Armenians in Turkey are peace and quietloving people. It is natural that persecution, oppression and tyrannical government creates secret societies to help the persecuted. These were | organized with a real human feeling to devise ways and means to ameliorate the condition of the Armenians, when it was seen that petition- ing, pleadings, appeals, prayers for mercy, and even protests did not move the stony-hearted Sultan, A. ANANOUN. TOWN OF VLADIVOSTOK. Street Scenes That Are Characteristic of Russian Life. Viadivostok has the aspect of an in- ferior Hong-Kong, of about a quarter the size. Hills crowned with forts rise around |itup to a height of 800 feet. It lies on | the south side of a peninsula twenty miles | long, called Maravief Amursky, in 43 degrees 6 minutes 51 seconds north lati- tude and 131 degrees 54 minutes 21 seconds east longitude. The town | is between four and five miles long, but is straggling and unconnected and of no breadth. Some streets are very steep and all are horribly dusty in dry weather, being never wntere&i. and being continually crossed in all directions by droshkas driven at a smart pace. Instead of pave- ments the streets have ‘‘sidewalks” of planks, as commonly seen in new Ameri- can cities. You take six stout planks, some twenty-five feet long, and lay them side by side, and you continue the process for the requisite number of versts or miles (three versts are two miles), and the *‘side- walk” is complete, save for a few props and nails where the ground is too soft or the foundation degenerated into holes. The droshkas are driven by red-headed, snub-nosed Russian izvezchiks, in low, glazed, stovepipe hats, with very curly brims, red sleeves, plaited black skirts and high boots. In them one often sees, lolling as passengers, a couple of frowsy Chinese, or a still frowsie Krorean. The fare is only 80 kopeks, or 1 shilling and 18 pence, an hour, or over half an hour; and from point to point there are tenpenny and five- penny fares, according to distance. The regulatious forbid charging more, but, with fine irony, allow the driver “to take less, if he likes.” He may not leave his cab to take care of itself, may not ‘‘sing, make a noise or cause a disturbance’’; he must temper his pace to a_ “town trot” and *keep to the right-hand side of the road.’ . The troika has a dashing look; the horse in the middle trots under the arched dugs, whose object and effect, when properly put on, is to keep the shafts at the same distance apart. The small horses right and left are cantering and their bodies in- cline a httle outward from the car. In Vladivostok are faw complete triple teams; generally there are only the ‘‘middle horse” trotting and one other cantering on its near side. The water barrel on wheels, drawn b; giorse‘or k;ull. and often driven by a sol- er, 18 a frequent sight carrying water uj to the forts and to tl%ehuppeh{owgn. A im'xlf nier horse vebicle is the sit-astride, cush- ioned beam, on which izvozchik and cloaked and spurred officer sit, with dang- ling legs, one behind the other—the of- ficers behind.—Fortnightly Review. ——————— The finest Y At st emerald in Emm belongs to TESTING AR FENDERS Two That Did Not Create Much Enthusiasm Among Supervisors. One Knocked the Dummy Down With Sufficient Force to Kill a Human Being. Two fenders for the protection of the trav- eling public from being mangled by trol- ley and cable cars were tested yesterday on West Mission street in the presence of the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors, representatives of the Market-street system, the inventors and a large concourse of lookers-on. The first, which the owner claimed is in successful use in Cincinnati, 8t. Louis and other Eastern cities, consists of a yielding buffer, extending the full width of the front of car and to a height of about three feet. Itissoadjusted that the impact of any body which comes in front of the car causes a scoop to drop and pick the body up. An ironbound dummy, representing a full-grown man, was placed on the track and the car run against it. The blow was of sufficient force to have killed a human being and a spectator remarked that the corpse would look better if it had been run over by the car. About the same result was attained when the dummy was laid flat on the track. The inventor was not satisfied with the test, and said that he could obtain better resuits with a dummy stuffed with straw, and was promised another chance to prove that his fender is of practical use. The second fender was called the Peck- bam, and consisted of a wooden frame holding a rigid scoop three inches above the track. As in the case of the other fender, the dummy failed to go under the wheeis, but was thrown down with suf- ficient force to jar it very much and bend the iron stiffened legs out of shape. The same 1mpact would disable if not kill a human being. It was decided to give both machines consideration and perbaps another trial at some future date. MIND BUILDING. Philosophic Idea the Development of Sense and Motor Centers. “‘Physical sensation is intensified ac- cording to the degree of intellect a person possesses. People with brains ever on the alert, and of intuitive intelligence, ex- perience either pain or physical pleasure to a far greater degree than do those whose mental ability has never been so highly developed.” This truism, uttered by 8. Millington Miller, M.D., seems to have been his in- centive for writing an article on “Mind Building by Sense Development,” in the new magazine, “The Progress of the World.” In iilustrating his sense development idea, he says that the teacher gets hold of the aunditory center of a child through its ear, and by insistently repeating a certain idea over and over to that child, develops the brain tissue of that particular nerve center; causes blood to flow to it, just as continually beating and assaulting any portion of the y_will cause blood to rush to that spot. The aroused brain cell sends out a tiny, feeble feeler in response to the demand made upon it. In time, as it awakens more and more to its responsi- ‘:muu, it pulls out other feelers or ten- These, reaching out, seek for some- thing to cling to, and form a connection with other cells which have been aroused by appeals to corresponding senses. The sense of toucn, or what is known as general sensation, is the most acute of all thefive senses. Every one marvelsat the brainlike sensi- bilities of the hand which can pick outa counterfeit note from a pile of a hundred bills when the owner of the hand is blind- folded. The tactile or inner surface of the hand, where ail the sensibility exists, con- sists of an endless number of tactile cor- puscles, set in rows on the ridges of the inner ends of the fi According to Meissner, these corpus crepitate or give forth a sound and these sounds differ atevery age of every individual. In the case ot the blind this sense of touch is so marvelously developed that if they finger an object carefully several times they are | able to form with’ clay a correct copy of i Discussing the meaning of the term “‘ti: sue habit,”” Dr. Miller says that the nervous tissues, which are composed of cells and connecting fibers, acquire a habit | $1.00 fuflfl Gents, of the transmission of certain sensations and the performance of certain thoughts. What 1s called “racking the brain” is due to this condition of affairs. It isasif a solitary wayfarer in the woods had Teached a point where his path_branches outin half a dozen_ different directions, and not knowing which trail will lead him to his destination he is obliged to try each path in turn in vain, andis at last com- pelled to strike out of his own accord through the woods. s Then it is that a sensation (which did not sufficiently impress itself originally upon its sense center) in search of this vague memory, runs down this fiber and down that fruitlessly, and finally isobliged to absolutely create a new pathway of thought. As Professor Jordan very ap- propriately suggests, it is not nearly so important that all the sensations of a grow- ing child should be im;l;resscd_ upon it as that those which it will need in future life shall be indelibly burned into its brain, 1t is plain that the education of a child is not a ‘‘drawing out” at all, but a build- ing up. 5 fiecent experiments have shown the in- telligence of monkeys can be very much improved by patient education of the va- rious sense and motor centers. The mon- key is a docile animal, and far more ready to Teceive education than a vast majority of children. Still, the education of a mon- key’s brain is a slow and laborious opera- tien. Let us suppose the case of 2 monkey who is very dirty and slovenly in appearance. It has been found that such an animal can | be made to wash itself just asa man does with water; to comb and brush its hair; to clean its teeth; to wear clothes and to show great facility in putting them on and taking them off. The mon- key is such an imitator that the ouly trouble in these cases has been that the special education given to it runs riot with its brain, so that it is constantly brushing its hair, or cleaning its teeth, or putting on angd taking off itsclothes. In matters of fact, the possibilities of the mental develop- ment of the monkey and of the dog, too, are absolutely unlimited, and it i not at all unlikely that the voice center in the brain of these animals and their vocal cords can be so developed as to enable them to use articulate speech. Dr. Miller appears to regret that the sense of smell 1n man has been allowed to fall into desuetude, while in the dog it has always been and is now being carefully cultiyated. 1f man’s sense of smell has become vestigial, why, asks the doctor, should the dog’s and monkey’s sp&eech centers not be developable?—New York Commercial Advertiser. ————————— i Yankee Cheers for a Brave British Ship. The harbor was death, the high seas salvation, and Captain Kane determined upon a desperate effort to get out. The Calliope matched her engines against the awful tornado. For a time she stood sta- tionary, then crawied or rather sidled to to the gap in the outside reef, close by the Trenton. which was pitching at anchor with fires drowned and wheel and rudder gone. As the Englishman at last | | | { came to the wind outside a rousing cheer went up from the American flagship, returned with a will by the British tars. When Captain Kang hastened to acknowledge the parting cheer sent after him as he put to sea, our ad- miral replied: “My dear captain: Your kind note received. You went out splen- didly and we all felt from our hearts for you, and our cheers came with sincerity and admiration for the able manner in which yvou handled your ship. We could not have been gladder if 1t had been one of ourships, for in a time like that I can say truly, with old Admiral Josiah Tatnall that ‘blood is thicker than water.’ ”— From “The Neo-Republican Ascendancy.” by President E. Benj. Andrews, in the Februs ary Scribner’s. —————— Italian women as a rule object to mars rying foreigner NEW TO-DAY, BARGAIN SALE!
