Epecial Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—There was a re- markable sight on Fifth avenue all this | atternoon in front of Mrs. Ogden Goelet's house at No. 608. During several hours a crowd of persons, impelled by a desire | to catch a glimpse of the British Duke, he of Roxburghe, and of his bride-to-be, Miss May Goelet, numbered not less than three thousand. Nearly all of the 150 persons who have been invited to the wedding Tuesday called to-day to view the presents. The wedding gifts are saild to be the most splendid and costly ever received by a bridal pair in this city. The large part of the upper floor was set aside for the display of the gifts, which are guarded by two headquarters’ detectives, Most conspicuous among them were the famed “Roxburghe emeralds,” valued at $300,000. This is the gift of the Duke's mother to the bride. The gems are reputed to have been in possession of the Roxburghe family for two centuries. Among them is a necklace of large stone, alone valued at $25,000. It is declared that the total value of the gifts to the bride, Including the trous- seau, estimated at $0,000, will reach $1,000.000.

The danger of loss by starvation, he says, Is increasing yearly, owing to the fact that the country around the park is settling up, thus limiting the range. He | thinks It would net be a difficult matter to feed the antelope and sheep, as thelr | winter range is close to Fort Yellow- stone. He places the number of ante- | lope in the park at about 1000. The mountain sheep have increased con- siderably in number in the past year ana there are now mpre than 100 in the park. The bear seem to be about as numerous as a year ago. They have done no harm to any one during the past season. The deer seem to be increasing more rapldly than any other game in the park, at least they are becoming tamer and | | more fearless than any other species. | The new buffalo herd, which is under the | | immediate charge of C. J. Jones, is do- | | Ing exceedingly well, but the increase in the herd this year was not as great as ! was hoved for. Major Pitcher says it is of the greatest ortance that the boundary lines of the yark, in addition to being surveyed shouid be so thoroughly marked as to render it tmpossible for any one to cross the line | without knowing that he has entered the reservation ————————— NS DO HOMAGE TO BELOVED LEADER | Natives Make Great Display of Sym- pathy at Delegate Wilcox's Funeral.

In addition Miss Hardin proposes to organize the young women in offices and shops on a In this way when a girl has a complaint against her em- ployer she can rely on the assistance of many of her fellow employes to prove her charges. The details are being carefully worked out, and before the Christmas shoppers swarm the streets the women expect to drive the mashers from their familiar haunts. —_————————— London Exchange Dull. LONDON, Nov. 8.—The week's busi- ness on the Stock Exchange has again been dull, with prices irregular. Greater attention has been paid to the position of the American market than to the ef- fect on the market of Far Eastern poli- tics. The renewed break in steel stocks has been a disturbing influence in the railroad list, but prices recovered con- siderably Saturday. Colombians fell heavily on receipt of the news of the revolution on the Isthmus of Panama, but other South American securities re- mained steady.
