Strangest of all equine bands, the “white pacers” of th cap! southern range, are doomed to y or extermination. The ranch- of Southern Utah, Western Ne- n vada and a small strip of Arizona havei passed on this remarkable aggregaiion of wild horses that for seven years excited the greatest inter- t, but which has 8o far mocked ev- v effort at capture. A few weeks ago the stockmens of the border country engaged in a wild- horse hunt-*a raid of extermination on the wild mustangs that have become a pest of the range. Many of the animals were killed, but the “white escaped the general slaughter for two very good reasons—the hunters did not come across this particular band, and, even if the opportunity had presented sentence er itself, no attempt to kill them would | have been made. The ranchmen have for years cherished the hope of some day capturing some of the beautiful animals, and for this reason none have ever been shot. Individual attempts to take them, however, have always sig- nally failed, and now an organized and determined effort is to be made. Plans have been carefully made with a full knowledge of the habits of the quarry and the nature of the country, and it is hoped that a dozen or more of the coveted equines will be taken. If it is necessary a number of the horses will | | be killed in order to make the work of capturing the others easier. The decision ¢f the rarchmen is to capture or exterminate the entire band. Unlike the ordinary “scrub” mus- tang of the ranges, whose presence is an abomination to the ranchers, the mUich-desired white beauties are of magnificent build and swift as the famed steeds of the Arabian desert. They are all of the same hue—white— and have long manes and tails of the same color. In speed they easily out- strip the ranch horses. A strange fea- ture is that they are all pacers. Very seldom have they been known to break into a run, and then only for a short distance, soon relapsing into the long, swift stride that appears to be their natural gait. The ranchmen believe at some of these animals. can be trained to become great racehorses. There are supposed to be about 100 in this band. A great stallion, of magnificent pro- portions, family—for family it certainly and he is described as an animal of remarkable beauty. At the head of the band this stallion has led his fol- lowers in ,wild dashes over the hills when pursued by the ranchers, and the pace was so rapid that the hunters were soon compelled to desist. Just now these horses are reported to be ranging along the Colorado River. In the summer they come up into Utah. It is now planned to effect their cap- ture, or at least the capture of some of the band, by having a number of parties act in concert and drive the horses into a trap—probably into some box canyon. el i— Immortelles for Wreaths, The manufacture of immortelie wreaths in Paris occupies at least fif- teen hundred persons. The immortelles are gathered about the beginning of October and come chiefly from the arid hills in the middle and south of France. They are brought to the markets in their natural condition and the yellow blossoms are dyed green, red and white znd woven rsinto wreaths by special workmen in readiness for All Saints' and All Souls’ days, when all good Parisians visit their relatives’ graves. On these “fetes des morts” the gates of the cemeteries are besét with crowds of dealers in immortelle wreaths, wire crosses and bead crowns. At Pere la Chaise alone more than two hundred | thousand persons are calculated to visit the gemetery, and the sale of immortelle wreaths varies from 20,000 to 25,000.— The Golden Penny, HITE PACERS pacers” | is the leader of this equine | SPRING TRADE S RREGULAR Improvement at the South and West Finds Little Response in the Large Eastern Cities b !BlG RAILWAY EARNINGS .

Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade to-mor- row will say: Sensational fluctuations in the great staples were the features of the week, cotton and cof- fee attaining new high records for the season, but subscquently declining sharply, Wwhile grain advanced. Trade reports are irregular, improvement at the South and West finding little resnonse at the large Eastern cities.

Spring buyers are arriving in large number, with noteworthy eagerness to secure cotton goods, even at the enhanced prices Railway earnings for January per cent larger than in 1903, Progress is slow in the iron and steel indus- try, new business coming forward reluctantly. averaged Several dispatches regarding large contracts cannot be confrmed, and it is usually found that the statements refer to old orders, While the figures. of tonpage prove much smaller than indicated. Conditions continue quiet, pros- pective purchasers procrastinating in the hope of more attractive terms. In several lines it /has . not proved possible to maintain price agreements, some producers making special rates, and the s:ason opens with the prospect that there will be an open market for cotton ties. A better outlook is reported for struct- ural steel. DECREASE IN FAILURES. Just when buyers of cotton goods were be- ginning to exhibit a pronounced disposition to place more liberal orders, the collapse In the raw material produced hesitation. Consumers have reduced supplies In the hands of dealers to a point that Necessitated replenishing, and the imquiries for prompt shipment were ex- panding, but it is natural that the market should become uncertain when the prices for goods are very high and raw cotton declines $6 a bale in a single day. Notwithstanding this Interruotion, a better volume of trade is in progress, and it is recognizcd that goods were by no means on a parity with raw ma- terial At its zenith.

Mason of Kirkville, Mo., a dealer in wild ani- | mals. Gnawing through the wire net- | ting of the big box in which they were confined, the beasts sped through a door into the alley. Just drawing up to the building was W. W. Wilson, a partner in the business, with a load | of produce. The horse tried to climb | the side of a barn and then tore down the alley. Three of the wolves ran east in | Englewood avenue, This one was captured later by driv- ing out and into a box with boillng water. A gang of railroad laborers | saw the' three beasts approaching and | fled, one man shinning up a telephone pole. A short distance away H. J, Smalley and C.

Late in the day the police were notified that two wolves had been seen at' Eighty-seventh street and !V\'eslern avenue, and that a hunting Record-Herald. —_——— Curious Case in French Court. In a recent novel Georges Ohnet | called one of the products which his principal character placed on the mar- ket “a brictonine.” He was not aware at the time that a liquor of that name actually existed, but its manufacturer promptly brought an action for dam- | @ages. The Civil Tribunal of the Seine | gave its decision against the novelist, | While it exonerated M. Ohnet from ma- licious intent, it held that ignorance was no excuse, and that it was the duty of writers to satisfy themselves that products to which they intended to refer did not exist. In this case. added the court, M. Ohnet could easily have consuited the register of trade- marks. Consequently the court ordered the passages objected to to be erased from the book under a penalty of 10 francs a copy. while the plaintiff was awarded 500 francs damages, and the right to have the judgment inserted in two newspapers.—New York Tribune. —_—— ANTIOCH, Feb. 5.—The bardware store of 3.

It is stated that there | are no organic complications to add to the seriousness of the case; but the Sehator at the time of the attack was in a Jliterally worn-out condition, so! that his extreme physical weakness} and nervous depression, coupled with | his age, 66 years, and frequent recent rheumatie attacks, makes the case onef { of much more gravity than an ordinary attack of typhoid fever of a compara- tively mild character. The crisis of the fever is not ex- pected before the middle of next week. THhe Senator is conscious and to-day insisted on some ‘papers being brought | to him ‘for his signature, but was so | weak that when he was put off two or | three times he dropped off into slum- | ber from exhaustion. He gained con- | siderable rest during the day, but to an extent his sleep was the result of | his weakness. His physicians to-night | expressed confidence in the Senator's recovery, but admitted that even if no complications or unforeseen” develop- ments of any kind occurred recovery would be a matter of weeks and will require meanwhile the most caretul‘; ‘and painstaking nursing. No one save Mrs. Hanna, Miss Phelps, the Senator’s niece, and Elmer Dover, his secretary, are permitted to see him, aside from, the physicians and two trained nurses, of whom one is a typhold fever expert | from Philadelphia, CONDITION NOT ALARMING. President Rooseveélt called at the Ar- lington Hotel during the day to inquire | abeut Senator Hanna's condition. He | | saw Seeretary Dover, with whom he conversed for ten minutes about the | sick man. The physicians gave some | | consideration to the fact that most of | | the Senator’s immediate kin are out of | thg,city and that several of them are as far away as Thomasville, Ga., but | decided for the present at least there | was no occasion to send for them. It is hoped to_bring about a sufficient im- | provement'in Hanna’s condition to per- mit his removal to Thomasville. ! Five physicians were in attendance | to-day: Dr. Rixey, the regular phy- | sician; Dr. Magruder; Dr. Brewer, from { New York; Dr. Behronden, an expert | who examined the Senator's blood for typheid indications, and Dr. Oster, the expert diagnostician from Baltimore, | who will continue in consultation with | the other physicians during the Sena- tor’s illness. #The physicians are unable to say where the Senator caught the typhoid | fever. There is a typhoid fever epi- demic at Columbus, Ohio, where the Senator visited last month. He left | there about the 13th ultimo and .be- came ill nine days after that time, the length of time that medical authorities give for the breaking out of the fever infection. A great number of inquiries, telegraphic, mail and personal, ar reaching here about Senator Hanna’ condition. Governor Herrick called on the long distance telephone from Columbus, Ohio, to-night to inquire after the Sen- ator and asked to be kept informed of | the progress of the case. Secretary | Dover told him he believed the situa- | tion thus far is not alarming. TEMPERATURE IS HIGHER. Dr. Rixey called to see the Senator | shortly after 8 o'clock. His object was simply to take Hanna's temper- ature, which he found at that time to be 102 2-5, higher, he remarked later, than it had been at any time since he has been attending the Senator. This, however, the doctor did not consider alarming, as it might be due to cer- tain local causes not directly the re- sult of fever. The 8 o'clock call was | the last Dr. Rixey intended to make for the night unless something unex- pected should occur. The most satisfactory case to-day apparently to the Sena- tor's family and friends was the cheerful and bright' manner of the Senator, despite his almost utter pros- tration. This they attribute in part to the slightest kind of an improve- ment in his general condition and to his relief at the announcement of the exact character of the disease, which thus removes his own and his fam- ily’s uncertainty in the matter. The | Senator took milk nourishment sev- | eral times to-day, retaining it on his | stomach without apparent discomfort. Certain pains which he ‘has experi- enced in thé stomach were relieved by the administration of a sedative. Late to-night the physicians declared there is nothing immediately alarming in Senator Hanna's condition provid- ed unexpected complications do not manifest themselves, but they ac- knowledge it is yet too early to fore- cast the result of the Senator’s sick- ness, { ! | i spect of the | —_———— A Short Trip Postponed.—Louis Leech informs us that, after conferring with his wife, he is not going on that South Dakota excursion—West Branch (Iowa) Times.

Lorenz of Toledo, Ohio, denied all knowledge of any transaction in connection with the sale of Groff letter box fasteners. The four checks which she at different times gave her husband, who indorsed she said, she signed solely because her husband re- quested her to do so and without in- quiring into their purpose. She had ab- solute faith in him, she said. Mrs. Lo- renz was perfectly cool on the - stand and promptly answered the questions put to her by her counsel. During almost the entire day George E. Lorenz was under cross-examina- tion. He denied that he ever sought Machen’s influence to further the in- troduction of the Groff fasteners to the postal service. Just before the afternoon session Justice Pritchard summoned into his private room the jury and counsel on both sides. He announced to them that two jurors had informed him of the receipt of several letters bearing on | the case, which represented that they | ought to stand by the Government. It is understood that the Government counsel disavowed any responsibility for the communications, while counsel for the defense availed themselves of the opportunity to say that neither by word nor act had any attempt been made by them or their clients to influ- ence the jury in any way. —_—————— How Spencer Learned Things.

At the lowest levels of the day prices were from 152 to 180 points lower than what cotton was | selling for at the first of the week. The market was thrown into a panic s after the opening by the immense amount of cotton that was offered for sale. Where the offerings came from was a mystery, but thousands of bales were thrown upon the market, forcing prices down 10 and 20 points at a time. Such wild scenes were never before witnessed. Thousands of people lined Gravier street watching the traders scrambling in their eagerness to get near the center of the ring and offer their cotton. There appeared to be ten sellers to one buyer. At the height of the turmelil, when it looked as if the market must go to pieces, the bull leader; W. P. Brown, ,pleaded with the brokers to stop of- fering their cotton 15 and 20 points un- der the market. “You will break the market and your- selves if you contgpue,” he said. “Take the cotton yourselves and make a | profit on it.” Brown's stand against the srlI(‘nz im- mediately had its effect and it was clearly evident to every one that the rules of the exchange were being broken by the way many brokers were offering cotton. The bull leader followed his speech by heavy bidding and buy- ing and in a few minutes other longs followed his lead and in a short time, in place of the panic, quiet reigned and prices showed a material recovery, al- though the market had a weak" tone up to the close.
