DECISION IN TlIK NE1I11A8KA LAND CASE.
Secretary Vllas to-day delivered a lengthy
pinion in the land case of Frank II. Young ,
ifrom the North Platte land district , and cov
ering th B w M of the n w M section 14 , and
the s X of the n c , # of the s o X of the n w
$ i of section 15 , township 15 , north of range
22 , west. The commissioner of the general
land oulco held for cancellation Young's pre
emption and cash entry , covering this land.
March 20 , 1880 , when Young proved up ho
allowed improvements consisting of a house ,
ono mllu and a quarter of fence and seven ,
acres broken and cultivated ; but Special
, . Agent P. Hobbs reported that the claimant
Lad failed to comply with the requirements
. of the liw In the matter of residence and Im
provements , and a hearing was ordered by
the general land ofilco. The secretary of the
Interior says that evidence has been produced
showing that previous to November , 1881 ,
, -when the settlement is said to have been
made , Young and his father occupied and enclosed -
closed by wlro fence a largo track of
land , about sixteen hundred acres , of
which this land fenced was a part. They
, pastured cattle , calves and horses there. The
broken land consisted of a strip ilvo or six
, loot wide , plowed for a flro break , and the
' Iiouso was a fnuno 10x12 , pine floonng.roofed
* ivlth ship lap lumber , with ono door and ono
' Window. The fence was built tosorvotho
purpose of a pasture and not for improve
ment , and within fifteen days after tlnal
proof was made the house was moved oft the
land. During the year 18S2 , and up to March
20 , 1833. Young was In the employ of the
* Union Paciflo railroad , and resided with his
family In a house in Omaha. From January
1 to March 20 ho was in Idaho with his fam-
- lly , still in the employ of the railroad com
pany. The improvements uro said to bo
worth 'only S150 , design showing thnt the
tuildlng , fencing and other improvements
wcro mudo as nuxlaliarios to cattle herding
and not for improvement of the land. The
* secretary finds that young failed in the mat
ter of residence to comply with the law , ana
the decision of the land commissioner hold
ing the , land for cancellation is nfllrmed.

WASHINGTON , May" . [ Correspondence of
m the BKE.J A western mpmbor of congress
.rwlio served during the war with General
Brooke , the now commander of the Depart
ment of the Plattc * and who has known that
' distinguished soldier Intimately for thirty
years , In speaking to the HII : correspondent ,
„ said :
"General Brooke is ono oftho best volun-
- , tccr soldiers of the late war. Ho entered the
service ns captain of the Third Pennsylvania
Infantry , serving with this regiment for
' 'throe months. Ho recruited and organized
the Fifty-third Pennsylvania ; was ordered to
, ' the Army of the Potomac and assigned to
the command that was afterwards a portion
i , of the second army corps. During the
battles around ' UlciimonU , Brooke was
' conspicuous in every engagement ,
and by his soldierly bearing ho
von the admiration of every man in the army
of the Poltomac. General Frances A.
Walker , who was , at that tluio , adjutant-gen
eral of thu second corps , says Unit in making
n movement from ono side of the Chlckahom-
iny to the other , It was reK | > rtcd that the en
emy wcro ahead , and General Sunnier , in
command of the second corps , became quite
anxious and sent Goncr.il Walker to the rear to
see how matters wore going. Gonorul Walker
auys that it was one of these warm , sultry
days in July ; u storm appeared to bo coming
up , aud everything had that hushed appear-
unco whjch fotolls a coming storm , Whether
or not thu utorin would burst from the
heavens ou the robots ho could not tell. As
ho was going Into n piece of woods ho saw
some troops coming out , and ho heard the
' command'Steady , boys ; bteudyl1 Ho said
the touo of ( hu voice of that olllcer was so re
assuring that he dropped all earoand felt that
everything was safe. It wus Brooke In
command of the rear guard , und when a
few moments later , u small force of the
enemy made un attack Biooke briibhcd them
nwuy and all night long protected the rear
guard of McClfllland's army.
"In the attack upon Loiigstrcet In the
Peninsula campaign Brooke , with the Fifty-
* third , led the churgo. At the light at Allen's
farm Brooke commanded the line and suS"
tamcd tlircu separate and distinct charge )
trom Kcrshaw and Orlftlth'g brigades , nil of
which were handsomely repulsed , and the
con federates fell back with the loss of Gen
eral OrlOlth and many officers and men ,
"At Antlctam , after the cnom.vhad pierced
our lines , Urooko led thrco regiments , and
made a gallant charge , recovering the line
and advancing the right wing of Ulchard-
son's division. Everybody is familiar with
the magnificent charge made by Hancock's
division at the battle of Frcdcrlcksburg.
Urooko led his regiment , the Twenty-seventh
Connecticut. , In this charge , and advanced
nearer the enemy's works than any other
troops engaged. Mill was ordered to rein
force him. Michcll , of Hancock's staff , was
directed to move towards the position that
Urooko had slezcd , and was still holding.
Hardly forty yards from the stone wall
around a cluster of llttlo houses and near the
road nnd from this point Brooke's command
sustained n magnificent assault , but lost
moro than half the men ho took Into the fight.
After Frcderlcksburg n now brigade was
formed nnd given to IJrooko for the purpose ,
ns Hancock snld , of giving so admirable an
ofllccr n command worthy of his ability.
"At Gettysburg Hrooko was simply mag-
nlflccnt. In the history of the Second corps
General Walker says :
"And now from the rear approaches
Hrooko. Relieving the regiment of Cros ,
which fall back to the road all but the regi
ment and a half on the left ho flings his
brigade with ono mighty effort upon the en
emy. Ho will not bo denied. On through
the wheat fields In spite of till , across the riv
ulet chocked with the dead , Into the woods ,
up the rocky slope , clear to tlio open space
beyond , Into the very sight of Kmmottsburg
road , Urooko pushes , In his splendid charge ,
driving Sommes' Georgia brigade before
him. Zook and Cross are no more and
Hrooko assumes command of the entire line
thus thrust out on the extreme verge , aud
asks for reinforcements to make his light so-
euro. None appearing the enemy press him
heavily in front and on both Hunks ; so
Urooko has to retreat. "
"In this charge this gallant command lost
more than one-half of its number. No man
of the army of the Potomac who witnessed It
Will over forget tlio magnificent daring of the
leader and his gallant men. In the third
day's fighting Brooke was badly wounded ,
but refused to Icavo his. command and re
mained on the field until the end of the en
gagement , capturing many prisoners nnd battle
tlo Hags.
"At the Salient , on the 12th of Mny , 1SC4 ,
Brooke's and Miles' brigade constituted the
chief line of tlio second army corps , nnd
made the historic charge , tearing away the
nbattis with their hands. Miles' and Brooke's
brigades sprang over , bayoneting the de
fenders or beating them down with clubbed
muskets. Nearly a mile of the con
federate line was taken within a few mo
ments and 4.00Q prisoners including Major
General Edward Johnson and Urlgadier
General George II. Stuart , upward of thirty
colors and eighteen cannon were the fruits
of the victory. Brooke nnd Miles were inndo
brigadiers of volunteers for the gallant ser
vice rendered on that occasion.
' At Cold Harbor , Brooke again led a most
desperate charge , and was severely wounded.
For weeks his lifo trembled in the balance.-
When general Hancock was ordered to raisa
a corps of 120.000 veterans , ho was allowed to
select his division commanders. Ho , of
course , went to the second army corps , and
in selecting Brooke , Egun aud Carroll ho
chose thrco officers that had done as much
hard service as any thrco men in the
union army , all bearing upon their per
son wounds received in action. In speaking
of General Brooke , General Hancock said
thnt Brooke always did moro than was ox-
pceted of him. Ho never failed him upon
any occasion , aud no bettor soldier over
lived. In recommending General Brooke to
President Cleveland for promotion ho said in
case ho wus ordered to take the Hold now ho
would select Brooke for his first lieutenant ,
and that ho hud no other endorsement to
make until Brooke was given a position that
ho was so well fitted to occupy.
"Personally , General Brooke is ono of the
most kindly and approachable of men ,
sociable , generous nnd brave. Ho nnd his
charming wife will bo a valuable acquisition
to tbo society of Omaha , and the department
of the Platte has a thorough soldier and a
perfect gentleman as its commander. "

The residence of Julius Jacobs , nt
Laguna and McAllister streets , was en
tered Monday night by burglars , says
the San Francisco Chronicle. Adjoin
ing the dining room is a conservatory
which has evidently boon built since
the completion of the houso. It extends
from the side of the house to a fence ,
about eight foot in height , and is entered
by means of a door in tlio diningroom.
The burglars cut out thrco panes of
glass and entered the little bower of
rosos. Nothing then remained between
them and the coveted silverware but a
glass door , the pane of which they
quickly cut and then passed into the
dining room. A young lady in the house
has a pot parrot. ITo is a very intelli
gent bird , apparently , hut thus far ho
has only mastered a few worus in Eng
lish , which consist of the question ,
"What do you want ? "
Tlio bird lodges in the dining room ,
and no sooner had the burglars invaded
his sleeping apartment than ho rustled
ills feathers and sprung his knowledge
of Kngllbh on them.
"What do you want ? " ho croaked in
his dibtnal graveyard tone.
It was far into the small hours of the
morning and tlio olTcct of this strange
voice proceeding from an unknown and
unscon source , was startling. It seemed
to the excited minds of tlio burglars ns
if some former owner of the silver hud
come back from the grave to protect his
property , and with considerable haste
they vacated the promises , overturning
tlio Ilowers in their llight. The inmntos
of the house were aroused by the noise ,
but when they reached the dining room
they found nothing but the glass gene
mm. the parrot gabbling away nt a f right
ful 'rate.

I had an excellent opportunity to
study this remarkable ruler of Vene
zuela , says a writer in the Milwaukee
Sontinnl. Personally ho is of imposing
tnppenranco and royal bearing. Fully
six foot in height , his stalwart frame is
beginning to show age , for ho is in his
sixtieth year , and his mustaoho and im
perial are almobt white. Ills skin is
lron/.od ) with the sun , and ho has the
most effective pair of black eyes I have
ever soon , Suave and courtly in man
ner , there was an occasional gleam in
thorn that told , of a rchorvo pubsion
boding ill for nn enemy in his power. I
would us soon think of tampering with
n loose tiger as with Gu'/.mnn Blanco
in his pro.-ont position. To the nuto-
criitio power thnt ho wields und
to its exorcise for his country's good. I
attribute Uio present quiet , prosperous
condition of Venezuela. As I hoard
from every hand , until ho was called to
governnoadvanco had boon mudo after
Spanish rule was overthrown ; since
thnt time there has boon no stop. The
country is being opened un by railways ;
oillcial corruption and misgovernment
is sternly punished when discovered ;
revolutions and anarchy nipped in the
beginning ; commerce and all possible
ugriculturo flourishes , and , best of all ,
workingmun are beginning to depend
upon receiving steady pay for steady
work , a thing previously unknown.

Second district. The York county delegates

resentative and confirmed the report , assign
ing ns his reason that the simp Judgment
taken by the central committee In culling the
convention would give him no opportunity to
canvass the district. Advices received hero
from western counties are to the effect that
Laird men are packing the delegations. In
oiio county the chairman of the central com
mittee appointed the delegates himself with
out oven calling a meeting of the county
committee. With Mr. Harlan out of the
race the nomination Is oor.cided to Laird ,
probably , by acclamation , and with n strong
opposition candidate the result next Novem

In p history of ono of the most noted In
dians now on the reservation. In Dakota :
Cold Hand , the nohlcst Roman of them
all , Is part Slbusjxnd part Reo. llo
stands full six root high In his moccasins
sins , nnd Is by no means n good looking
Bpeclmcd of the Indian. Ho never know
what fear was , and the moro dnrlnpror
foolhardy the ddod , flio bettor ho liked
to perform It ; and although ho Is now
nearly blind , lame and crippled , j-ot
there nro no two Indians on the great
Sioux reservation who would undertake
to cope with him. For twcnty-flvo years
ho was chief scout and mall carrier at
Forts Rico , Lincoln , Grand River and
Standing Rock , nnd for ton years ho
waq the only dispatch bcurer between
Fort Rico and Grand River agency. IIo
boars the finest testimonials from the
various connnan'dors of the different
forts of any man in the west , but , alaal
for man's ingratitude , tiftor twen
ty-five years of faithful nnd
invaluable service , nnd being ren
dered blind and a helpless cripple In
the service of the United States army
as a scout , ho stands how as a blighted
oak , without recompense , without re
ward , not oven n small pension , simply
because ho is an Indian ji brilliant
monument of our government's grati
tude , lie received his name from
swimming the Missouri river with throe
scalps in his hand. Clutching them
tightly , his hand became cramped. A
friend asking him what the matter was ,
ho replied that his hand was cold but
its owner was warm. Since that time
ho was "Cold Hands"
On account of his being such ascourgo
to the Sioux nation , they oltcred a
standing reward of twenty-five white
scalps for his apprehension , or death.
Ho laughed nt thorn and their noward ,
and at night would sneak into their
camp , slay ono or two of their braves ,
give his well-known war whop , nnd
gallop buck to the post. This feat ho
performed so often that ho became such
a terror to thorn that ten of the bravest
men of Gall's band bound themselves by
oath to neither cat nor sloop until they
had his scalp. The next day Captain
Collins sent him to Grand River with
dispatches ; ho had just reached the
present site of Standing Rock when ho
heard the exultant whoop of his enemy.
Giving his horse the rein , ho kept long
arrow range ahead of them until ho
came to Battle Crook where ho disap-
peaiHjd , and to do their best they could
not either Hud him or his horse. They
camped there that night , but before
morning Cold Hand stole in to the camp ,
killed and scalped four of them and run
off their ton ponies. Arriving nt
Grand River noxtday ho presented Ma
jor Noam's n couple of ponies with his
compliments. On his rotorn ho stood
olT the other six , Uillftig throe of them.
The other three thought they had
enough of it and returned to camp. On
another occasion irrlyingunexpectedly
on a Blnckfoot camp , ho shot ono of
them and ran for it. iTlioy headed him
for the river , it being just breaking up.
Turning on the bank , ho shot another
of them , and thqnr juinpud on a cake of
ice. Ho sprang from one cake to another
until ho was about half over , when ho
fell , the currcntKCarrj'ing him nearly a
mile before ho miiaged 'to land. Ex
cept for tlio wottiufr lie was not much
worse for his coU'Ubnth.
Such acts as tlutSo lie was continually
doing , out of shcter foolhardincss or to
show the variouii'ho Ule bands how lit
tle ho cared for tlfem. IIo was woimded
four times. From cold and exposure he
became almost blind , nnd rheumatism

OVER ABRAHAM AND THE IRISH.
The Tariff Discussion Starts Out
Nicely , But LcAils to Sharp nnd
nt Times Hitter Colloquial
quial Debate.
HOIIRC.
x , May 5. Dlsttcsslon of the
tariff bill was resumed.
Mr. Woodburn of Nevada controverted the
claim of the democrats that their party was
the friend of the laboring man , and cited tlio
.fact that the democrats had Inaugurated their
entry to power by cutting down the salaries
of employes ; that their secretary of the navy
had scon fit to pare down the wages of the
hod carriers nt the Mare Island navy yard.
Ho proceeded to make a speech bitterly de
nunciatory of the iwltey , which ho said was
outlined by the Mills bill , of surrendering
American markets and American labor to the
free traders of Great Britain. Turning his
attention to tlio Cobdcn club , Mr. Woodburn
said It was an association of British ummi-
facturora for the avowed ' purpose of destroy-
IriK the protective tariff system of America
nnd to facilitate the sale of British goods in
the American markets. Hovlowing the namca
of the Americans which appeared In the club
tUQmbcrshlp , hocallcd'attcntlon to the fact
that all were democrats , among whom wcro
Senators Beck nnd Vance , Secretaries Endl-
cott and Bayard , ox-Heprcsontatlvo Morrison
nnd Speaker Carlisle.
Mr. Bynutn Inquired whether Garflcid had
not been a member of the club.
Mr. Woodburn replied in the negative.
Mr. Dynuin Is not Mural Halstcad , n
friend of Senator Sherman , a member 2
Mr. Woodburn ( holding up his list ) There
is not a republican to-day In public life on the
roll of membership of the Cobdcn club.
Mr. Byuum denied that the list was a true
one ,
Mr. Woodburn replied that it was a true
list the last ono published.
Mr. Bynum Tlieti these names have been
removed.
Mr. Farquhar of Now York By what au
thority do you make that statement ?
Mr. Bynum Because I have It from n
member of the club.
Mr. Woodburn Hero is the record.
Ho was anxious to know If the adopted cit
izens of Irish birth and their descendants
would continue to perpetuate In power a
party whose leading members voted for Cobden -
den frcotrude. Cjodenfrou trade meant that
the parliamentary independence of Ireland
was entirely valueless. Could the adopted
citizens of Irish birth knowingly nominate
for president of the United States , Grovcr
Cleveland , when they were informed by the
London cable dispatches that the surplus
fund of the Cobdcn club was intended as n
reinforcement for him In tils efforts to con
trol our markets and hand them over to
British traders. Could they.still cling to n
party , existing ou an empty but attractive
sound , that pointed with pride to its prime
minister , Thos. F. Bayard , and that held out
as u shining example of its confidence , patri
otism and liberality an ox-mombor of the
house who basely apologized to the British
minister at Washington for his contemptible
duplicity in introducing a resolution of in
quiry as to the legality of nn American citi
zen condemned aud executed by a British
jury and British court. Ho referred to A. S. *
Hewitt , the democratic mayor of the demo
cratic city of Now York. If Cleveland stood
by his letter of acceptance and refused a ro-
nomination , no democrat could hotter
relleet the -aims , hopes and aspirations of
the democrats of the country than A. is.
"
Hewitt. ' In conclusion ho said his reading of
the history of this country compelled him to
stand by the American protective and tariff
system , which was stamped with the ap
proval of every leading statesman of the
nation.
As Mr. Woodburn concluded speaking Mr.-
Brycoof Now York , crossed the main uislo
and excitedly denounced as misrepresenta
tions Mr. Woodburn's allusions to A. S.
Hewitt.
Mr. Woodburn I have said nothing but
what I can prove ,
"I say it is false , " exclaimed Mr. Bryco.
"That is what democrats always do say , "
suggested Mr. Houek of Tennessee , amid
laughter.
Several republicans stated what Air. Wood-
burn had said was a matter of record and a
matter of notoriety.
Mr. Brunim of Pennsylvania , who was
seated within a foot or two of Mr. Bryce ,
suddenly plunged into the controversy , and
shaking his linger in front of Mr. Bryco's
face , said Hewitt acknowledged it on the
floor of the house and apologized for it. So
whan you say this man ( referring to Mr.
Woodburn ) says an untruth you say what is
falso.
In a moment the house was in a state of
great confusion and the members crowded
around the two gentlemen , facing onu an
other , who continued their angry colloquy ,
which was not , however , Intelligible.
"If there Is the power in this house to
order , " cried Mr. Buchanan of Now Jersey ,
"I demand order , "
"Let the gentlemen go out Into the lobby.
Is this the senate of the United States ( "
queried Mr. Hopkins of Illinois In an In for
million-seeking tone , which set the house in
a roar , which poured oil upon the troubled
waters , for in a few moments Mr. Bryce and
Mr. Brumn were boated together und talking
amicably.
Mr. Mporo of Texas said if congress wanted
to produce poverty and want in the land , let
it increase thu expenses of the people.
Mr. Bynum of Indiana said when the gon-
tlcumn from Nevada ( Mr. Wood bum ) was
reading the list of members of the Cobden
club he had propounded him a question as to
whether Mr. Qarliold , when ho lived , was
not a member of the Cobden club , as well as
Mur.it Halstcnd , 'J'lio gcntluinnn had re
sponded that no republican living was nmem-
lx > r of thu club/
Mr. Huejuumn interrupted to declare Mr.
Woodburu hud been incorrectly quoted.
What hu did say was that no prominent re
publican in public llfo wus a member of the
club.
club.Mr.
Mr. Bynum said that he revised the list of
members of thu Cobdcn club , showing that
.Mural Halstuud hud been admitted in IhbO.
It showed the name of Hugh McCullough , a
former republican secretary pf the treasury ,
admitted in 1871 , and of Stanley Matthews ,
admitted In 1875 , n member of the United
States Supreme court , and appointed by Gar-
Held , no * doubt , for the reason that ho wus a
member of the Cobden club ,
Mr. Buyno He was not upiwlnted by Gnr-
flold , [ Republican cries of "Better got
posted. " )
Mr. Bynum I stand corrected in that ,
Hero were aUo the names of Theodore
Uoosovolt and Cyrus \V. Field and a number
of others. I will not road 'liom because the
gentlemen would denounce them as mug
wumps.
Mr , Uuchanan Most of them are.
Mr. Byuum Garllold'H name appears In
the publication of IbTl us being admitted in
l&OU.
l&OU.Mr. . Bayne Ho repudiated connection
with thu club and Bald ho was elected with
out his consent or knowledge. [ Derisive
laughter on democratic side. ]
Mr. Webber , of Now York , said Roosevelt
liadslnco recanted.
Mr. Boutello asked if the gentleman did
know , as every newspaper reader knew , that
President Garflold hud publicly and repeat
edly repudiated any connection with tun
Cobdoiiclub ; that his election was a compll-
mont paid him with that knowledge , and that
ho absolutely refuted to become a member.
Mr. Bynum It wus a compliment paid to
him on account of the sentiments ho ex
pressed. When and where did he repudl-
ate HI
Mr. Boutollo promised to produce abund-
aut proof of his statements ,
Mr. Uussoll of Connecticut I would like to
ask the gentleman from Indiana whether J.
S. Moore , known as "Parboe" Moore , u
member of tno Cobden club , was not , us I
inn informed , the arthor of the Mills bill !
Mr.'BynUm The authors of the Mills bill
are u majority of the ways and means com
mittee.
Mr. Hussoll Has not "Parseo" Moore
been controlling the spirit of Uio majority of
the ways and means cammiHeo I
Mr , Breokenridgo of Kentucky-Docs the
gentleman make the charge on his own res
ponsibility and veracity !
Mr , Bayno t mnko no charge.
Mr. Brockcnrldgo U the gentleman will
take the rc.sixmsltnlltyof making n charge on
his own veracity , then I will make It an
Issue.
Air. Buchanan asked If the gentleman
would admit that the minority members of
the committee wore not admitted to the meet
ings of the majority when the bill was in
preparation ,
Mr. Brockcnrldgo Is tlio question as to
whether the gentleman referred to the pri
vate meetings of the majority hold for con
ference I
Mr. Buchanen Ah. the gentlemen held
secret meetings , did they ! t am glad the
gentleman confesses the secrecy of their
meetings.
Mr. Brcckonrldgo replied , amid democratic
applause , that surely tno gentleman did not
think the majority of the commltteo expected
the miiiorty to ngreo with thorn in their
efforts to reduce taxation.
Mr , McCormack , of Pennsylvania , took the
floor and devoted himself largely to a criti
cism of the lumber sections of the bill. IIo
wanted to know If the scheme of the ma
Jorlty of ibo committee ou ways nnd menus
was not n free trade schema. If all Imports
were treated as lumber and wool had been
treated , would the president say that the
nui'stlonof free trade was wholly irrelevant !
Mr. Stockdale , of Mississippi , advocated
the bill.
The commltteo then rose aud the house
adjourned.

Kcnl Turkish Uuths ill Algiers.
No traveler in the cast can consider
his sojourn complete , says F. A. Bridge-
man in Harpor'a for May , without the
experience at least , if not luxury , of a
Turkish or Moorish bath. If you go ,
you go to persmro , and to see everybody
and everything around you perspire.
After undressing and depositing your
watch and valuables with the proprie
tor , go to the hot room and stretch
yourself upon a raised platform in tlio
centre oftho tcpidarium , built of largo
slabs of marble over an oven in which
a raging fire is eager to roast you.
Think of tlio dolmens of old , upon
whoso back the Druids offorud their bac-
rilices , and imagine yourself nny ani
mal you ploaso. When you are roasted
on ono side , turn over nnd try another
corner of your altar to llnd a cool spot.
Then lie on the stone floor , and
lot your grinning attendant
crack your bones , pull your joints ,
mid twist your nock , and knead you
with liis hands , mid walk over you with
his knees , then lot him roll oil your old
skin , and with evident pride lay before
you long strings of your worthless hide ,
a do/.on of them in a row ; then you begin -
gin to realize that you have hud one
bath in your lifetime that has been of
some gcnunino use to your human ex
istence. Pumice stone for the soles of
your feet , and strong soap and wisps of
hoinp or similar fibre , help to take off
your second skin , but you keep your
third to go homo with by fixing it with
a bucket or two of cold water. Then , to
keep what remains of you together , und
to prevent your third skin from trying
to got away. , your attendant wraps you
tightly in towels as big ns shoots , and
your head in a lurbrn , and porches you
on high wooden sandals to keep your
feet out of the water , for the pavement
is also perspiring freely ; small rivers
flow in every direction. In this becom
ing garb , like n man buried
by mistake in tlio catacombs , you
come forth and lie down with the other
mistaken corpses , and help them drink
tea , and perspire once more , and throw
another mantle of smoke about you
'
with a , long pijio. Then you are fit 'for
nothing ; ho still and lot the world wag
as it will. The hours sot apart for men
nt the baths are from 7 o'clock in the
availing until noon , thus furnishing
them with good sleeping quarters for
the night.
Tlio baths are the great places of ren
dezvous for Uio Arab women , who spend
an afternoon there frequently ( their
hours being from noon till 7 o'clock ) ,
and they certainly deserve this much
of social intercourse. They are been
with their children in the streets
going to tlio bath , accompanied by a
gorgeous nogrcsL- carrying a bronze
vebsol filled with necessary articles and
other baskets and bundles containing a
complete change of linen , also several
strings of orange blossoms. Orange-
flower water is not to bo forgotten , for
it enters extensively into their luxuries
as a drink with their meals and as a
perfume. For the latter purpose a bottle
of bnibs , silver , or gold , with long neck
and a popper-box termination is used ,
with which they sprinkle guests at
homo and friends at the bath us well as
themselves. The baths , again , "take in
washing , " especially of heavy woollen
hurnooses , balks , blankets , etc. , which
tlio attendants und the moutuho ( a
young boy servant , whoso name is evi
dently of Spanish origin ) wash with
their feet and plenty of soap and water
on tlio marble pavement in tlio hot
room. These articles are hung ,
with the bath towels and other
linen , to dry on the terraces.
To make a study under
the drippings of such an entire laundry
may ho looked upon ns a feat , aside from
the fact that tin ; moutcho boomed afraid
to Icavo mo within ranch of such valua
ble wet linen. With sulphur fumiga
tions tlio yellow burnooses , arranged
like tents over tlio smoke , are blenched.
This operation is equal to a thousand
matches burning unwelcome inconho
under tlio artist's nose. The bath at
tendants nro apparently wonderfully
constituted to avoid rheumatism anil
pneumonia ; they go in nnd out of the
heated room for hours together with
only a towoi round thvir'loins , but they
do catuh cold all the same.
A Cnutloiiri BonaCor ,
Now York Tribune : It is ono of the
misfortunes of tlio rich senators to bo
constantly besieged by applicants for
fiinnll loans. Among the most wealthy
men of the senate of Brown is Georgia ,
whoijo patrmrclual hoard and air of
solemnity make him u particular target
for tlio impecunious. The way in winch
ho repelled one of the applicants on nis
generosity is rotated bomelhing like
this :
Across the hotel tuhlo from the sena
tor sat a bud-oycd woman boarder who
had once been in good circumstances ,
but upon whom adversity hud frowned
of late.
"Senator , " said the sad-eyed lady ,
"you Southerners nro so chivalrous , so
ready to assist these in diatrchs. "
"Yes , " replied the senator , hesitat
ingly , ho hud heard that before from
bad eyed people and lie thought ho di
vined what was coming.
"Would you , senator , with your true
southern chivalry , do mo a favor and a
great kindness'/ "
"Yes , madam , what is that Is it
depends eomowhat "
"Think well , senator , before you
promise , for it is n great kindness. "
The tones of the same old song the
Bonntor hud Heard many times before
from parties who wanted a $10 loan.
"I am afraid , inndnm , that I will have
to but what is it you wlbh'/ "
"That you pass thq catsup you have
everything on your side. "

The In Imclc.
Cnirido , May 5. ( Special Telegram to
the UKK.I The past week has witnessed
considerable ) speculative activity In the lead
ing grain and provision markoU , with rather
more than thu usual fluctuations hi prices.
As n rule , Influences were favorable to the
fllong" .Interest. Dry weather In all sec
tions of the west and on the 1'aclllo ciast
was a strong prop under the grain markets
during the early part of the week and caused
a material advance in prices. Later n report
of refreshing rains In most noctlons had a
weakening Influence nnd some effect In re
ducing prices again. The general backward
ness of the season Is admitted. Though the
damage to crops mny bo overestimated , yet
the outlook Is unfavorable for an average
ylel'd of souio bf the umall grains. The mar
ket for some articles Is undoubtedly over
sold and operators have probably changed
over considerable property with a view of
some relief , but unless tno stocks incrcasa
substantially no particular benefit can bo
obtained from that proceeduro. Seeding Is
behind hand hi most sections of thu west aud
the weather has been cold and wet. so that
farmer ? have made llttlo progress during the
past week.
Eastern markets have shown a llltlo moro
strength In a general way. aud foreign mar
kets were steadier , with little change to uoto
in prices , Kcculpts of grain at leading west
ern markets were moderate for this season of
the year , wtillo shipments were liberal.
Largo fleets leaving Chicago , Milwaukee , De
troit and Toledo , having cleared for the
lower lakes with largo ( ] uaiitltlcs of grain ,
nro gradually decreasing the stores , excepting
of corn and oats , and thu supplies of provis
ions are also decreasing at the leading packIng -
Ing centers , and It is understood that con
tracts have been made for the movement of
Increased quantities , particularly of lard.
In the speculative markets June and July de
liveries attracted the most attention. Deliv
eries on May contracts wcro nioderatcly free
of wheat , i > ork and lard and comparatively
of corn , oats and short rib sides , and all de
liveries wcro readily accepted.
The arrivals of live stock wcro moderately
free , and the packing of hogs In tlio west is
well maintained at lending points.
Financial Affairs.
CHICAGO , May 5. [ Special Telegram to
the DUE. ] There Is no particular change to
note la local financial affairs. A moderately
active demand for money prevailed during
the past week , but there was no urgent de
mand from any quarter. The supply of loana
ble funds was quite liberal , and the market ,
In a general way , Is gradually working easier
in sympathy with an easier feeling in uioue-
tary affairs throughout the country. The
purchase of bonds by the government Is in
creasing the supply of loanable funds
at all the leading financial centers , aud this
money seeks investment hi other securities
or other channels of tradcconscqucntly , with
slightly reduced Interest rates , merchants
and speculators are Inclined to engage in
business moro actively. The demand for
money from operators on the board of trade
was fairly active , though no largo sums wore
wanted. Margins were called moderately
free on speculative trades and this feature
called fo'r a little financial assistance tempo
rarily. Deliveries of property on May cott-
tracts required a little moro money than
usual on 'tho llrst of the mouth ,
The prompt shipment of grata
and provisions will tend to release
considerable inoney , a fair proportion of
which will find its way back again to the
leading bunks. The monthly settlements In
nil brunches of trade has given rather moro
business temporarily. Lumbermen are
moderate borrowers in a general way , and
are gradually enlarging their yard supplies.
Wholesale merchants , too , nro quite liberal
borrowers , but their jlemands nro not press
ing. Very little currency is being forwarded
to the interior at present , as receipts of pro
duce at the railroad stations are compara
tively light. Collections nro reported only
fair , as the backwardness of the season has
disarranged affairs generally among the
farming interest. Hates of interest nro with
out material change , ranging at 5 ( 0 per cent
for call , and C@3 per cent for umo loans ,
Money Is quite easy in the eastern markets
and borrowers are readily accommodated at
1 > 42 l > er cent on call aud 4J < @ 0 per cent for
prime mercantile loans. Advices from foreign
oign money markets also indicate an easy
feeling In that quarter with money plenty
and interest rates favoring borrowers.
Now York exchange was in fair supply and
the demand was moderate. Shippers bills
changed hands at 2A@BOo premium nor S1XK ( )
und the market closed steady at 40@50o pro-
mium. Foreign oxchanpo was inclined to
( miotness , tlio export of brcadstuffs , cotton ,
provisions , petroleum and stocks wcro mod-
jratoly free nnd shippers sixty days docu
mentary bills were in good supply with n
comparatively light demand. Sales were
made ntW.S 1) 4.65 } , and closed steady ut
. .
Utithur more Interest than usual centered
In the Now York stock market during the
week. With nn easy money murkotopcrators
were Inclined to tr.uto more freely , und the
aggregate ) busines w.is larger than for some
time past. The market indicated moro
strength In a gunor.il way and a material
udvuttco In prices was gained. Foreign oper
ators were more Inclined to purchase and
outside speculators generally were buying
with more freedom. Wall street operators
traded heavily , especially In the lending
stocks , UailroadH , as a rnli > , report good
earnings , and labor troubles have about dls-
appeared in all suctions of the west. Freight
rates In most quarters are being CQUulIzdd
md iu-o generally moro favorable to carriers.
While the market showed increased flrumoss
during Uio greater portion of the week , there
was evidently moro desire to realize ncartha
close , especially by foreign operators and thu
"room trading" clement , and the outside fig
ures were not supported to the close , The
