A SNEAKING DEAL WELL FORKED. The AdTance Too Bapid for inj Ordinarr Endurance. IS THE INTEREST OF A COMBINATION ' fSrECJAI.TXl.IGBAlITOTHIII;rATCH.l ' Chicago, Xoy. 26. There will be a big crowd in the Board of Trade gallerr, to morrow. There is a. corner on. Seven years ago corn, under the impetus of a manipula tion whi-h a great many people belieed was in the interest of Millionaire Blair, of Rlairtown, sold for a minute at $1 a bushel. There is a possibility that the price may be put there again before Monday night. The price, to touch SI, has to ro only 25 cent! from the figure bid yesterday, and 25 cents is about the adTance scored since last Tues day. A week ago to-day corn sold at 52 Cents. "Wednesday it was 75 cents. "Deacon" S V. White tried to run a deal In September. He got the price to 70 cents for a day or so in August; in September he went broke. It is a queer fact that the very people who had the met to do with bring ing around the disaster which overtook the "Deacon" are now running a deal of their own. A Regular Sneaking Deal. It has been a queer deal, a "sneaking deal," as the crowd pat it, sneaking in the literal and not in the offensive sense. It has been one which has advanced quietly upon the shorts, without alarming them, which has suddenly developed so as to leave practically no time for escape. Prices for the cornered option have ad vanced in five days 23 cents a bushel, an ad vance altogether beyond ordinary endur ance. The man who has stood short 100,000 bushels during the last five days has suffered n loss of over ?20,000. Even the little fellow who has stood out in only 5,000 bushels, the most modest risk to be made in the corn pit, faces a loss of over 51,100. If it is true that one big line is making a fight on 1,000,000 bushels, as it is claimed, the stake is worth fichting for. The lo on any such line since last Friday is about $250,000. In the Interest or n Combine. The corn deal is in the interest of a com bination. Its present success is all the more remarkable for that reason. The at tempted wheat corner of 1889 was a disas trous failure, because there were two men in it at the start Fairbanks and Hutchin son. Each afterward complained of bad faith on the part of the other. Yet corn this month has been put to 75 cents by a combination made up of at least six differ ent interests. The marvel is that there has been no ap parent breach of faith. Somehow or other the manipulation has run like clockwork; prices have been marked up and short's have been squeezed as if there was just one hand guiding the whole affair. Bartlett, Frazier &Ca, a shipping concern, with houses at Peoria, Chicago and at different places in the East, has the management of the manip ulation. A PABAIiEL TE1QEDT. 'Circumstance Which Tends to Show That Fanny Cartwright Was Murdered. Chicago, Xor. 25. A remarkable de velopment was added to-day to the mystery surrounding the death of Actress Fanny Cartwright, whose dead body was found in n lonely railroad yard, where, according to the belief of many, to cause an appearance of accidental death the corpse had been dragged after the woman had been mur dered. John Beatty, in whose company Fanny was lat seen alive, has refused up to to-night to admit any truilt on his rmrt The singula circumstance brought to light, it is thought, may tend to unseal his lips. He was arrested cven years aeo for an almost exact lv similar crime the killing of Amelia Olsen a traced v which has never been explained Amelia, like Fannv, was exceptionally handsome and lived in the same part of the citv. The Olsen girl's body was found in the middle of an un frequented prairie, and had evidently been drageed some distance. It wa6 evident she had fought bravely for her lite, and Beatty, who was arretted in the crowd of morbid on lookers drawn lothe place, had a face badly scratched presumably by a woman's fingers. He doegedly refused, as in the present case, to make explanations, but his mother came forward with a story of a quarrel between himself and his sister. The man is a team ster. He is known to have been acquainted with Amelia Olsen. PAIB WARNING TO ISBIAHD. Factional Warfare Most Cease if American Aid Is Expected. Kew Tobk, Kov. 2S.

A NEW IKSUBAHCE DECISION. "thrSLgar Ecfinlnc Company Falls to Re cover on an Accident Policy. Chicago, Nov. 26. In the case of the Chicago Sugar Kcfinery Company, which Judge Grcsham has had under advisement for the last six months, he has just handed down a decision in favor of the plain tiff in the sum of 44,241. Especial inter est was manifested in the case by insurance men, as it was a test case for the form of policy issued by the Casualty Company. All kinds of accidents to employes, in the nature of boiler explosions, etc., were cov ered by the polirv. The accident which caused the death of the Sugar Befining Company's employes, and for hose deaths the company claimed f 100,000 from the Casualty Company, arose from an explosion of dust. The cause was laid to be spontaneous combustion. Because 11 CORNER CORN of the nature of the cause of the accident the Casualty Company denied the Sugar Refining Company s right to recover. KIDNAPED BY A SERVANT. MILLIONAIRE'S ONLY CHILD TERIOC5LT STOLEN. MYS- Ifo Clew or Its Whereabouts A Young Waitress Takes the Child From a Ball In Which It Was Flaying on a Simple Pretext. Kansas City, Ifov. 26. This place was startled his evening by the announcement of the bold kidnaping of the two-year-old 'son of David T. Beals, President of 'the Union Xational Bank and a "millionaire capitalist, well known throughout the "West. The abduction was under conditions that make the tracing of the child and his ab ductoress extremely difficult. Mr. Beals is an elderly man, and this be ing his youngest child, is regarded by both parents" with peculiar favor. They are nearly heartbroken over his mysterious dis appearance. The kidnapping was done by the waitress, known as Lizzie Smith, engaged in the Beals' household. Just as the family was finishing the din ner this evening the waitress remarked. that she would go out after the evening paper, which is always delivered on the veranda of the house. She had been gone but a few moments when Mr. Beals heard an outer door slam. This, vhile not being unusual, somehow excited Mr. Beals" suspicion, and going into the hall he found that his little son was not playing about. The child had been plav rog in the hall with two of Mr. Beals grandchildren. Upon being questioned they said that Lizzie had taken the child out of a side entrance. Search was begun at once for servant and child, but up to the present no trace of them has been found. Mr. Beals at once put the case in the hands of the city police and the Pinkertons, and they are making every effort to find the child. The waitress, has been in the Beals household only three weeks. Very little is known of her. FL0WEBS GOOD TO EAT. Blossoms or Various Kinds That Are TJseful on the Dinner Table. Washington Star.l FlowerB may some day enter more largely than at present into the list of foods for hu man consumption. Already, as is remarked by a recent writer, they are much more widely employed for purposes of diet than is commonly imagined. Artichokes are imma ture flower heads, and cauliflowers are a sort of flowers. The common cabbage, a rare wild plant in nature, furnishes under culti- vation tne cauoace, wie turnip txtuuage, me cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, according as the leaves, roots or flowers of the plant have been specially developed. Brussels sprout are buds which have not reached maturity. Another variety of the cabbage, called 'brocoli," is grown on alluvial soil that has been reclaimed from the sea. It is a distinctively maritime plant, and to se cure for it sustenance as nearly as possible like its natural food star fishes are gathered on the branches for manure. s The crop is put into casks which have contained wines of Burgundy, or Bordeaux, an agreeable aroma being in this way added. Finally the brocoli comes to the table in the form of pickles or chow-chow. Xellow pond lilies make delightful pre serves. The flowers of the Judas tree are made into fritters, with butter added, or mixed with salads: or sometimes the flower buds are pickled in vinegar. Xasturtium flowers are often used in salads. The flowers of the caper bush are familiar in sauces. Cloves, used for flavoring, are the unexpended buds of the clove tree dried In the sun. Every one hare seen and many have eaten violets, jas mines and rose petals in the form of pre serves and -candies. The flowers of the abutilon esculentum are commonly used as vegetable in Brazil. Some North American Indians regard as a delicacy the cooked flowers of the pumpkin vine. WEECKED BY A BE0KEH BAIL, A Cincinnati Southern Express Train Goes Down an Embankment. Chattaxooga, Nov. 26. A reporter has just returned from a wreck on the Cin cinnati Southern Railroad. An express train which left Chattanooga for Cincinnuti at 6:30 r. m., ran off the track six miles out of Chattanooga and 150 yards south of the Tennessee rier bridge. The engine fum bled down an embankment, completely wrecking it and killing Fireman Pat 'Wolff and injuring the engineer. The bjgeage, mail, express and smoking cars jumped the track, but did not go down the embankment. The train men were badly shaken up, but not seriously injured. No passengers were hurt. A tramp stealing a ride was badly injnred. A broken rail is supposed to be the cause of the accident. MRS. KARTELL SEEKS A SEPARATION From Ber Randsoiue Actor-Husband, Bat She Doesn't Want a Divorce.

The Ex-Kintr Claims That Malietoa's Ten ure Is Not Permanent. COMMISSIONER IDE ON THE DISPUTE SAN.FRAjtciSco, Nov. 26. Among the .passengers on the Mariposa from Samoa was United States Land Commissioner H.C Ide, who was sent down to Samoa to straighten outthe land titles, in conjunction with the English and -German Commissioners. Mr. Ide was compelled to resign on account of illness in his family. Speaking of affairs in Samoa. liersaid: ".Tbe native people regard the taxation to which they .have been subjected as oppres sive. Petty chiefs have left Apia and gone to Mataafa, who is quartered at Malie, six miles distant, and hostilities may be ex pected at anytime. They look to Mataafa to redressjlheir wrongs, real or imaginary, and the. latter chief makes no secret of his ambition to succeed Malietoa. In fact, he has declared himself in this respect. He says he is the rightful King of the Samoans. He argues that in the Berlin treaty the powers laid down that Malietoa should be Xing until his successor be elected. He demands that an clectioa-take place. He has the people with him,' he claims, and, therefofe,.says he is the rightful King. "When the news of his warlike attitude reached Apia the council was called by Malietoa and a proclamation issued order ing the chiefs to disperse. The latter re fused to obey, and their lands were de clared forfeited to the Government and they themselves declared rebels. This was the condition of things when I left Apia, and if the powers do not interfere, it looks as it war could not be averted, 'Baron Von Pilsach, the German Presi dent of the municipality and. the adviser to the King, has resigned, but still goes on conducting Samoan affairs. He will not leave there until after January L Notwithstanding the fact that Ma taafa is the moving spirit in fomenting the tiouble, the natives claim there are too many offices held by the foreigners for which they have to pay. They think the office of the Chief Justice and President could be combined, and that similar other changes could be made." Commissioner Ide said that it has been "discovered there are more deeds on record in Apia than there is land in all Samoa. The titles had all been filed, indexed and registered, but the work of straightening out titles will not be completed for two years or more. TOWERS OF SILENCE. Tbe Grewsome Places Where the Farsees Dlsposo of Their Dead. Denvei News. J The Parsces, a peculiar sect living in Bombay, were formally from Persia; they ore fire-worshipers, and give the bodies of their dead to be devoured by vultures. Re ceptacles for this purpose are built re sembling round towers about 25 feet in height, the interior arranged in three sep arate tows around the entire inude, varying in size to receive the bodies of men, women and children. These towers are roofless, the edges of which are continually covered with vultures and birds of the air, who feed on the bodies of the Parsoe dead. In Bombay these towers are on the beauti ful eminence, Malabar Hill. The sides of the road leading to them are carefully walled, flowers and ferns grow in profusion out of the chinks in the walls, the carriage road leads up to a flight of 80 steps, at the top of which is a great yellow and white eate or archway. On the right side of this 'entrance is a large marble slab, with the large letters-in gilt which reads: "None But Parsees Can Enter Here." "We were, however, allowed to enter and were met by a enerable old Parsee, who had served in this quiet garden for nearly 30 years. He bade us follow him, which, with terror in our hearts, we did, he leading us through the labyrinth of that immense and lovely .garden, beautiful in every sense of the word, with flowers, ferns and trees of trop ical growth, down to the walls where we could view the great five white towers, on the edges of which sat or flopped the great vulture ghouls; the trees, too, were filled with these impatient creatures, who moved about restlessly, stretching their great necks as if to catch tne sound of the tramp of feet, 'which were. drawing nearer and nearer, toiling up that long, steep hill with the re mains of two bodies, which but a few days before were teeming with life and mortality and the dearly beloved of the Parsee house hold, now to them a thing unclean, being borne on tbe shoulders of a despised sect to be placed in one of these dreadful toivcrs, the prey of those fearfully greedy carrion birds that in one-quarter of an hour will have stripped the body of every inch of Hsn ana leit tne Dorics to bleach and crum ble in the scorching sun. Only Parsee men follow the remains of the dead to this last receptacle, save a dog led by a string, and who is the last to look on the face of the de parted. That, according to the Parsee creed, will take the soul straight to heaven. MUM JOES OF DOGS. Well-Prserved Specimens Found In Many nMhe Egyptian Museums. Popular Science Monthly.! As there were cemeteries for cats, there were 'also for dogs, where their mummies are to be found by the thousand. I am cog nizant of 'them at Siout, Sheik, Fadl, Feshn, Sikkarah, and' even Thebes, and most of the Egyptian museums possess more' or less well-preserved specimens of them. One of these mummies was recently opened and drawn by Herr Beckmann, a German. It was a small harrier, about 18 months old. There is hardly anything left of it but the bones and the stin, and a few bits of muscular tissue between the teeth, reduced to dust It had been wrapped In a wideband of coarse cloth glued' to the skin by a thick layer of bitu men. Over this envelope they had ap plied a thin mat of dried reed-stems like those, which are found on many human mummies of the twentieth dynasty, and later,'fastened by a long cord of braided grass. The animal, 'thus bundled up, presented theappearance of a cylindrical mass, or of a veritable basket of game, with both ends left open. A decent shape had to be given to this queer-looking package. A net work of fine cloth was thrown over the part which answered to the body, so arranged as to de- sign parallel rows" of superposed squares alongjts length; a kind of ornament which is found on many mummies of small animals, as of the cat, ichneutnions, the -ibis and the hawk. According to usage the head is cov ered with a pasteboard mask, in which the phsiognomy of the animal was reproduced as far as possible. It was painted a dark brown, except around the eyes, the lips, and the", nostrils, which were white. The half opened mouth showed the points of the teeth, and the ears rose above the head. 3Ian.-eating,'wild men are told of in the "Travailes" of Ed w aid Webb (1590), who was ornethiii! of a sixteenth century Tom Ochiltree: "In. the Court of Prester lohn there is.a-wllde man. and another in the libjhvtreet of Constantinople, whose allow ance is every day a quarter of raw mntton; and when atiy man dyeth for some notori ous offence, then they are allowed every day a quarter of man's flesh. These wiltlo men are. cliainedUo post every day, the one in Prester Iohu's court, the other in the high sireet.of Constantinople, ench of tlieni linv lncamxntell about their shoulders, and all over: their bodyes they have nonderiul Ions; haire.

Genuine spruce gum has almost disap peared, as a regular article of merchandise, from the Bennington market. Formerly the supply was abundant, the priee low and the quality first class. But the supply now de pends on mere chance, the gum picker giv ing little attention to the gathering of the commodity, as there is no money in the business. The saw mills, pulp mills and forest fires have wrought snch devastation among the big tracts of spruce trees, which formerly clothed the Green Mountains, that the occupation of the gum picker is gone. Sometimes a lumberman, or a mountaineer in Woodford, a town adjoining Benning ton on the east, discovers a tree that will yield several pounds of marketable gum, which is brought to Bennington, where it finds a ready market t a good price. The price depends entirely upon the quality, ranging all the way from 50 cents to $1 50 a pound. Gnm of poor quality is readily distinguished by its opaqueness, and by its very intimate admixture of minute hits of bark, which become entangled in the gum when it exudes from the tree in a semi-liquid state. Poor gam ft further distinguished as being too heavy or too light, bitter and permanently sticky to the teeth in some cases and very hard and crumbly in other specimens. Gum of the finest grade is either translucent or transparent, of a light amber color, filled more or less with minute bubbles of air, breaking with a short, shining fracture, and having a sweet, peculiar and balsamic odor i and taste. The word "gum, however, is popularly misapplied, as the substance is, properly speaking, of a resinous nature. feather Boat and Collars in' Cloak Depart ment. , Finest goods, our own importation and close prices on all.
