IlIDKS AND TALLOW.
The Shoe nnd Lcnlher Hevlew' , In Mimmlng up
the situation nt Chicago. Fays Unit the country
mile nmiket Is exceedingly sensitive and the
deulera appear to have little nrsurancc that
values will be upheld. Tlic fclump hi packer
hides Is regarded as an Indication of what may
be expected to happen In country hides at nny
time. It must be admitted , however , that the
demand for upper leather hides has been well
maintained , and In Mime cases dealers have
sold ill advance of their ability to make ilcllv-
cilcH. The packer hide market has unstained a
st-rlous decline. There have been sales of native
steers nnd Texas steers at Sc. nnd buyers seem
confident that the next transactions will estab
lish still lower quotations. The tendency of
prices of all commodities Is downward and hides
have only been sustained by the exceptional
mnallness of the supply. Quotations :

Outlook In ( Kliiiinc-lnl World HUN
SiimtMVliiit Improved.
NKW YOHK , July 23. The outlook In the Jm-
mediate financial situation Is better , owing to the
effective measures that are bclntf taken for' the
protection of the treasury gold retcrve. While
this Is gratifying to the conservative element , II
failed to Induce professional operators , both here
ami In London , to fmcgo the opportunity lo rrul-
Izu proills. The marketing of long slock Im
parted a rather fevcrlth tone to the dealings ana
considering the discouragement that hud recently
pievalled among holders and owni-ru nf M-riirl-
ties the market today displayed In the main
Unexpected Mrength. Covering of khortH wns , of

of commission houi-u buying was reported , es

The local bulls were rather disconcerted over
thu appearance of London as a teller , bill a
chi'f-rful pentlment eventually prevailed on tli6
substantial depotltn of gold In the Mibtrcasurj
by the New Yoik banks and encouraging advlct-i >

This conclusion wns today foreshadowed by an

The story of Iho rout ot HIP Knicker
bockers of IluiitliiRton , U I. , related bymtho
New York World , would never hnvo been
told had it not been for the finding of tin.-
scarlet Barter. It was found by a man , of
course an inquisitive nnd horrid person
who trnccil Its history to the end.
The Knickerbockers Is a society of so
ciety youiiK women who have been eman
cipated from the thraldom of man. I'or n
year they have been dcinonstratlni ; tholr
ability to take care of themselves without
masculine aid.
The Knickerbockers planned a beach party
for lost Saturday. Sixteen of them were
driven by a sober-minded , ancient stnge-
drlvcr to Lloyd's Neck , where they arrived
hot nnd dusty. The water looked cool and
Inviting , nnd beside them was a deserted
bath house.
"Oh , let's go In bathing ! " said n "Knluk-
or , " clapping her hands.
"Oh , wouldn't It be lovely ! " came in cho
rus.
"Hut we haven't bathing suits , " said
one.
one."Ob , pshaw , that' doesn't matter , " said
an adventurous one.
"Oh ! oh } How dreadful ! "
"I mean that we can arrange things to
take the place of bulbing suits. "
"Oh , that's different ! "
"It will be perfectly splendid , " went on
the adventurous "Knickers. " "There isn't a
man In sight. 1 know the water will be
delicious. Don't you suppose men would
take advantage of It ? It will bo sixteen to
tone. "
There was no doubt about the ratio , for
lhe.ro were - sixteen women and one bath
house. They ought to have known that
trouble must"come. .
The stage driver was told to go far away
nnd not to come back for hours. Four
of the boldest made an Investigation and
reported that the coast va clear. To bo
sure , there was a rowboat anchored about
half a mile away , but it seemed to be
empty.
Then the four went boldly Into the bath
house. They held council and determined
In what manner they could best extem-
porlxb bathing suits , matters of detail in
which no mere man has any Interest. They
swiftly proceeded to carry out their plans.
There was a bumming all the time , but
they supposed that it was the talk of their
friends.
A big gray rat ran across the floor. Four
women sav/ him at the same time and
screamed with all their might. At exactly
the same Instant a colony ot bees appeared.
"Oh ! Aouw ! Ouch ! Oo-o-o-o-o ! " came
from the bath house anil four shrieking ,
maddened , white-robed figures fled wildly
from the shed.
A figure arose In the row boat out in the
bay. It was a man. lie waved a fishing
polo frantically and then begun pulling for
the shore. The four wore rushing about
with the beeIn pursuit , with the others
demanding to know what It was all about.
They did not see the fisherman until be
was close ashore. When they saw him
there was a panic.
"Oh ! Oh ! please , please , Mr. Fisherman ,
plcasu go away. We are not drowning. It's
only ouch ! n rat and Oo ! O bees In the
bath house. "
"I see ye hain't drowning , " remarked the
fisherman , "an1 you don't look as if you
wanted mo. "
"Wo don't ! Wo don't ! " screamed the
knickerbockers. "Please go away. Oh ,
what's good for stings ! "
"Put mud on "em , " said the fisherman , as
ho pulled away.
The terror-stricken Knickerbockers were
In despair. The four victims were nearly
frantic. When the pangs had passed away
they were confronted with the dlfllcnlty of
securing Ihelr clothing. Not a "Knlckcr"
would venture in the bath house. Finally
one of them found a long pole and she fished
out the garments. Then the Knickerbockers
waited for their stage. They swore ench
other to secrecy. Ilut they forgot that tell
tale red garter which aroused the curiosity
of n man.
If you don't bcllcvo the story ask the six
teen Knickerbockers. They nro well known.

COST 0V TUB MI-t > AIS.
Anybody may get as many of Major Me-
Klnley's medals as he wants supposing that
gentleman to be elected for the Inconsidera
ble price of $2 inch. Tl.ey will of bruize ,
composed of ninety parts copper , six parls
flu and four parts zinc. H must not be
Imagined that special honor Is contemplated
In this regard for the next occupant ot the
white house , whoever he may be. Similar
medals have been struck for all of the pres
idents back to John Adams. They are
always of bronze , the only exception being
Uarlleld's. Hut this is a special medal of
gold , about the size of a Su-ccnt piece ,
minted out of respect to his martyred mem
ory. It , was made uftc * lila death to meet
a public demand. You can buy one now If
you like for $9 , which Is only a trifle more
than Its Intrinsic value.
In fact , If you want an Interesting and
beautiful collection ot medals , you cannot
do better than to apply to tho. Philadelphia
mint. There you can obtain copies of all
the medals that have been struck up to date
by the United States government. The de
signs upon them are a complete pictorial
history ot this country. Forty-eight of
them , awarded by congress to officers of the
army and navy for conspicuous services , tell
stories of the revolution , of the wnr of 1S12
and of the Mexicanwar. . On one of them
appears the famous sea fight of which John
I'aul Jones was the hero ; another represents
the capture of the Penguin by Captain Did
dle , yet another shows General Taylor at
Palo Alto , and so on. A medal given to
General Ulysses S. Grant serves to recall the
rebellion.
ARMY AND NAVY MEDALS.
These army and navy medals wore of gold
or silver In the originals. The copies for
sale by the mint , , liowevcr , are of bronze
only. The price-set on nearly all of them Is
$1.50 each. General Taylor has three for
Palo , Alto , Monterey and Huena Vista. One
must pay $8 for General Grant's. The gold
and sliver medals given by congress to In
dividuals are never reproduced except In
bronze. It Is different with those authorized
as souvenirs. There are four Washington
medals which are made by the mint In gold.
In silver and In bronze. One of them com
memorates the commencement of the cab
inet , and another the relinqiilshment of the
presidency by the father of his country.
The Garfleld memorial medal may bo ob
tained In silver for 60 cents. Other medals
In silver bear the Joined likenesses of Wash
ington and Jackson , of Washington and Lin
coln , of Washington and Grant , of Lincoln
and Grant and of Lincoln and Garfleld.
A complete set of presidential medals ,
from Grover Cleveland to John Adams , maybe
bo bought of the mint for $43.50. During re
cent years It has become customary to striio
medals for secretaries of the treasury. Any
body may get an admirable protralt of Mr.
Carlisle in bronze for $2. Directors of the
mint are accustomed nowadays to bestow
upon themselves a like distinction ; the last
nine holders of that ofllce have had medals.
The same Is true of recent superintendents
of the Philadelphia mint : one was struck
only the other day for the now superin
tendent , Major Krctz. It Is a rather Inter
esting fact that the Philadelphia mint will
strike medals for public Institutions , socie
ties and even for private Individuals , from
dies furnished by them , charging for the
service only the actual cost of the metal and
labor. Hut It Is forbidden by law to make
dies for private medals.

"miscellaneous. " One of them was given

LIFE HAVING MEDALS.
Nations generally have preferred to make
their bravery medals of no Intrinsic value.
HiiBBla , Switzerland and Germany h-tvu
chosen Iron for the material. The Victoria
CIOBH. so highly prized , In cf bronze. It U
awarded without reference to rank for in
dividual acts of heroism In battle , and it
bears no Inscription save the words , "For
Valor. " The mcdalu of the United Statca
navy are bronze stars , attached to red ,
white and blue ribbons. They are rarely
awarded , becuueo they are Intended par
ticularly as rewards for the saving of lives
from drowning , and this tort of service Is
covered by the life saving medals of the
Treasury department. These life saving
medals are of gold or silver. The gold oius.
which are worth $40 each Intrinsically , are
granted only In cases where the recipient
has risked hU own life.
In one ci-.uu a llfe-savlnt medal was re

HONOUS TO I'OttKKSN'RKS.
Kiich jtar congress appropriates fj.oiio for
the Department of State to buy glfto for
foreigners , Usually the Kifts ixic medaU
and watches , \\hlc-h arc confeired upon per
sona who save American ships and lives ot ,
Ameilr-an seamen. The medals are struck
at the Philadelphia mini , win-re the dlo Is
kept. The wall-lies cost about $ lrt each
wholesale. Other gifts are purchased by the
chief clcik of the derailment , who uses hla
own judgment In their ( --election Some
times money Is given to poor sailors , when
It Is supposed that they would prefer It.
The medals and gilts are .awarded on recom
mendation by our consuls and diplomatic
ollleers abroad. They arc understood to bo
presented by the president ot the fulled
States , and nro sent to the eotuul or min
ister , who hands them over to the govern
ment of the country to which ( he re , iplent
belongs. Xow and then It Is mvcssju-y to
confer a hnndsome present upon some for
eign potentate. For example , not long ago
the Depattment ot State scut n gorgeous
vase to the sultan of Lvlgga Khln. In recog
nition of service to the shipwrecked new of
the Hobert L. llclkiiap.
The constitution provides that no eilirer ot
the United .Stales government shall accept
presents or titles from foreign powers with
out obtaining the consent of congress. Such
PCI mission can only be obtained by the pas
sage or a bill , which must be signed by the
president. Congiess. however , Is liberal
enough in this regard. In 1S94 It allowed
Commander Davis , U. S. N. , to bo appointed
grand commander ot the Order of Isabella
In recognition of his services as roprct-cnla-
tlvo of government "near the person ot
Her lloynl Highness the Infanta Eulalle. "
The head of this order Is the king of Spain
himself , and membership In It content no
bility. Thus Commander Davis Is n Spanish
grandee , and 'lie has a right to wear on fes
tive occasions n mantle of yellow velvet , n
tunic of whllo velvet trimmed with gold em
broidery. white shoes with gold bows and
a Spanish hat with white and yellow feath-
eis. At the same time , as a reward for at
tention to the duke of Veragua. Commander
Dickens , U. S. N. , got the cross of the Third
Class of Naval Merit.
Congress recently permitted Admiral John
fl. Walker and Surgeon General J. Hnftltd
Tryon. I'S. . N. . to accept the decoration ot
the Order of Ilollvnr from Venezuela. Gen
erals Schoflcld , Uuttcrflrld and O. O. Howard
are entitled to wear the cross of the Legion
of Honor of France. The same dignity Is
enjoyed by Prof. Cleveland Abbe of the
weather bureau as a reward for services la
science.
run CAT CAIIIIIT TIIH TIIIII-\

N.--U IVIIne.
Otis Lyons ot Dutch Neck. N. J. , owns
a cat that for pure and unadulterated gump
tion hasn't Its equal In Jersey , and prob
ably not In the wide , wide world. U does na
wonderful tricks , but puts Itself to prac
tical use In n way that is astonishing , re
lates the Philadelphia Times.
Tom , as the cat is called , came to the
Lyons home one stormy night last winter
and made Its presence known by scratchlnK
on the door. Ho was n long , gaunt , wild-
eyed , unfed creature , and a plan was laid
to do him up In a sack anil drop him In the
pond , but when In the morning an attempt
was made to catch him. he skurrled up ail
elm tree and sat on a topmost branch , lookIng -
Ing dcflancc at the men on the ground.
When a member of the family got n gun
the cat took refuge behind the trunk of the
tree and kept on the opposite Bide of It
from the would-be shooter as he circled
around looking for an opportunity to cover
the cat with the gun.
Finally the old man Lyons paid' "That
cat ain't no fool an' J leckon wo won't lese
notbln' by Jest takin' care o' him cf 'o wants
ter stay with us. "
It was settled that way and when Caleb
Lyons , the son , had put away the gun , the
cat seemed to know how things had been
decided , for ho came down the trco and
rubbed up against the old man Lyons' leg
In an appreciative way.
From that day Tom was a fixture In the
Lyons household , and ho began to give an
exhibition of his common KCUUO right away.
His llrst remarkable show of Intclllgcnco
after he came down from the tree was made
one Sunday when the Lyons family was at
church.
Tom was left contentedly snoozing In a
corner of the kitchen when the family left
the house , and the old man Lyuns wan
nearly knocked off his scat In the midst of
the sermon when the cat eune Hying down
the aisle and , clawing at the legs of hl
trousers , began to yell at the tup of hla
voice.
The minister stopped talking and every
body got up to see what the rumpus was.
Tom was unmindful of them and continued
to yank away at Otis' trousers.
"He's got a lit , father , " whispered Caleb ,
"take 'lin out. " Otis went outdoors. Tom
at his heels , and when they were outsldo
the cat got a fresh hold on the old man' : !
trousers and showed a disposition to drag
him In the direction of home.
"There's sumptliln' wrong down at the
house , boys , " said Otis to his sons , ' 'an I'm
goln' ter see what 'tis. "
The men and the cat started for the houso.
about a iiuarter of a mile away , and when It
was reached smoke was pouring from the
kitchen window. The dour was thrown
open and the carpet on the kitchen flour wan
found to he burned to a cinder. A coal of
fire had evidently fallen from the stove grain
upon the floor and started the fire. That
Tom understood the danger was shown by
his action. Ho got out of the house by
diving through a pane of glass.
Jimmy , the youngest member of the Lyon
family , rides n bicycle. Ono day last spring
he returned from a spin on the wheel and
left It standing on the front porch. A dirty
knight of the turnpike , who had evidently
seen better days , happened along the road
and his eyes fell on the wheel. Ho could
rldn and ho WUH sunn astride the bicycle.
making his way to the gale.
Ho might have succeeded In getting away
with the plunder had not lie fallen under
the eyes of the rat , who happened to stroll
around the corner of the house Just as the
tramp was moving away.
Llko a flush Tom WOH ufler thn thief , and
leaping Into the air ho fell on the man'H
shoulders and net his teeth In his neck.
There was a howl and a crash that brought
the Lyons family to the yard , and they found
the tramp rolling on tin- ground trying to
get away from Tom's ' rigid Jaws. The cat
was finally Induced to loosen his hold , and
after the tramp'tj wound had been cared for
'
ho was allowed to go.
Ono day Farmer Holhrmik'H horse ran
away and went down the road that ran past
the Lyons farm at a tearing gait. Tom WUH
sauntering around the yurd am ) his atten
tion was attracted by the rattling of the
wagon. As soon us he saw the horse comIng -
Ing ho ran Into the road , leaped at the
linrsu's head and hung on like u good fol
low with teeth and claws.
The hnrso , thoroughly astonished by Ilia
cat's action , halted and watt taken In charge
by a passing farmer.
When Mr. Lyons wants to halt hla COWH
and keep them within a certain area ho tells
Tom to watch them , and ho does It with all
thn faithfulness and wisdom of n shcpherd'H
dog. If Iho animal strays outsldo the limit
It IB hustled buck by Tom. who quickly at
taches himself to the cow's tall and staya
thiro until the la back to where she be
longs. _
