Washington: Aug. 2L -It has remain- ed for one of Itnele Sanaa experts in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to rperform what is probably one of the meet remarkable and difficult feats of engraving every accomplished. Not so very long ago it was believed that the man who first engrave& the Lord's Prayer on the bath of a one -dol- lar gold piece bad about reached the limit in the matter of wonderful feats with the engraver's tools. Then about a year ago, a Philadelpbia banknote ex- pert engraved the entire alphabet of twenty-six letters on tbe head of a large pin. This delicate bit of -work won considerable fame for the man who did it, and it was generally considered to he the record in freak 'engraving un- til the bureau expert entered the field. Now, however, the record of the Phil- adelphia engraver has been. greatly sur- paseed. Mr. Clarence X. 'Young, for years an employee of the Government money fac- tory, is the man. who aeconmlished the seemingly impos.sibIe feat of engraving two full alphabets, a date, and a name on the head of a. tiny pin only sixty- five one thousandths of an inch in diameter. Last fall Mr. Young and another ex- pert in the bureau had a friendly dis- pute as to just the amount of delicate work that an engraver could do. Fin- ally Mr. Young -made the statement that if the Philadelphia e-xpert bad en- graved the alphabet, on the head of a large pin he coital put the twenty-six letters on. the head of a small pin, and still have some room left. A wager was made. and Mr. Young started in to make good his assertion. In about a week. working now unit then for about fifteen minutes at a time he had atcompiished the task, and, true to hie statement, found room enough left on the pinhead to add las name "Young," in one corner. t- CHEAPER THAN APPLES. - Big Yiela ef 'teethes in Niagara Distriet This leer.

Ober, a pretty In - year old girl, sacrificed her life in trying to save that of her lover, M. la Alex- ander, of No. 2033 North Thirty-seeona stieet. Neither Alexander nor the girl, could swim, and when the latter bail an opportunity to cling to the overturned canoe she heroically ignored it in order to lend a sustaialug hand to her imper- iled lover. Exhausted in her efforts the brave girl sanit to her death just as a. volunteer crew from the Crescent Boat Club bore Alexander safely to shore. The fact that Alexander am) Miss Ober were engaged to be married was not known until the young man, in a burst of anguish, eaclaimed as he viewed her body: "My God! Just think of it! I was engaged to that, girl and had kept ft a .seeret. To think that it should be made public under sucb terrible circumstances. I feel that I shall go mad." Alexander was prostrated to such au extent that be made several, frantic at- tempts to throw himself into the river. Kind hands restrained hint and he -was lett back to the boathouse, while the body of his financee was removed to the bedgely Guard House. ..i.lettanden, who is an enthusiastic canoeist, visited the public boat-bouse near Lemon Hill, iu Fairmount Park, about 7.45 o'clock, acompanied by Miss Ober.

Receipts at the City Live Stock Market away from the shore in a confident man - were light, as is usual oa a Friday. As re - Ported by the railways, taere -were 5 car loads, composed of 35 cattle, 195 steep, 63 Iso=. Prices in all classes were unchanged. Exporters -Prices ranged trom 54,23 to 54 75 but there were only five cattle that brought the latter price, the bulk selling at 154.40 to 54.60; bulls for export sold from 53.50 to 54. Butchers -Tho best picked heifers and -steers sold from 54 to 54.20; and real good loads sold at ts.se to 54; medium, 53.50 to 83.75; common at se.so to 53.25; canners at re to e2.6o. Stockers and Feeders -There was a little better demand for feeders and a few short- ksepe. weighing from 1100 to 1150 lbs. each. sold from m.es to 54 per cwt.; feeders, 000 to 1000 lbs. each, at 53.40 to 83.75; light feed- ers, of good quality, SOO to 000 lbs. each, are worth 13.50 to 53.75; stockers sold from 52.25 to 53.25.

Montreal: While the volume of trade at the moment is up to that of this time in previous years there is stilt a. quiet tone to things generally. Demands from wheleeale stocks are light, but retad trade in the city and prvincial towns is fairly active. In the country there is less doing, as the harvest occupies the tanners' attentions. The grain so far bas been well saved, and the outlook continues brigatt for all lives of trade. The abolition of the bounty on steel rails will have bue little effect upon the earnings of the steel companies. Walnes generally continue firm. Sugars are steady. While cheese is a little easier and butter is firm, and the export de- mand for these daftly products is brisk, showing large increases in exports over previous years. Country remittances and collections are fair to good. Toronto: There is rather more ac- tivity noticeable to some lines of whole- sale trade, but the volume of general business is still quiet. Grocenes are moving better and fall orders are good. Hardware is fairly brisk. Country trade is still quiet but remittances show bee provement. Wholesale houses are well satisfied with the businese on fall ac- count coming from the west. Orders are good, but they are not entirely bee Mg filled as check to over -speculation 'in peircbases. All lines of menu/atter, ing industry continued activity engaged. Quebee: There is a fait movement in wholesale circles during the past week, particularly in arygoode and groceries.

It was letirned last nigbt that just as Miss Ober had released her bold on the canoe a second launch appeared and struck the frail eraft. Prior to that time she appeared to have a chance to reach the shore, but the sudden Shock and the subsequent Leavy swells rendered that impossible. • The unconecious form of Alexander was carded to the public boat house, where he was resuscitated with consid- erable difficulty.

Two Thousand Men Landed Ffom the Fleet. Quebec, Aug. 21. -The petty officer:, and men of the second cruiser squadrbn are now baying their turn in the festivi- ties prepared for them by the citizens of Quebee. Ile weather continues beau- tiful, and the day was inauguratea by a grend naval and military street par- ade, which was a splendid sight. Early this morning a dozen field guns and their carriages weretlanded from the warships, and hautea up Mountain Ilill to the Dufferin Terrace to await the disem- barkment of the sailors and marines, two thousand in number, out of the four thousand men on the ship. The disem- barkment and re -embarkment of the lin- mense complement of men was a sight well -worth seeing. .at 9.30 o'clock a steam launch towing three boats took poeition at the sbip's gangways, when the men, carrying small arms, jumped on board with the alamity of monkeys, and in less than half an hour they were landed and in line on the Ring's wharf, when. headed by the band of the flag - !hip Drake, they =railed through Champlain street and up Mountain Intl, mei sent the guns down by jack tars - who preceded them. The sailors and their officers then proceeded up St. Lou- is street until they came opposite the Eeplanade, and were joined by the Roe -al , Canadian Garrison Artillery, with its !band of music, in command of Major ' Ogilvy, and the Royal Canadiao Rifles, in command of Major Fages. The com- bined forces. which made a splendid and formidable showing, mewled out by the Gmnd Alice with the preehion of veter- ans and down Maple avenue to St. John street. thence through St. Rothe and bn the T.ower Town to the laing's wharf, -where the sailors embarked in their boats, and went on board their veesels in the saute order that they landed. The streets were lined -with citiztms to watch the pantile. and, judging front the enthusiastic txpplattee that greeted the jack tars they met 'with great favor.

CONTROL OP INSURANCE. President Roosevelt Pavers a MOSt Im- portant Step. . Oyster Bay, Aug, 210 -Federal super- vision of insurance was the subjece 01 a conference at negamore Hill to -day, The parties to the conference were: President Roosevelt; Senator Dryden, New Jersey, President of the Prodential Ineurance Company, and james M. Beck, formerly Assistant Atturnetatieneral ofe the United States, and now el:004)41w counsel for the Mutual Life Insurance . Company of New York. The Presidenti for a coneilerable time, but especially since the tliscloe- tires made during the last few mouths regording the Equitable Life Assurance Society, has mattifestea a deep interest in the problem ef national contuol uf the insurance business. in his meesage to Congrese last December Preeident Roosevelt said: $everal nionUIS ago at his request the subject was inveetigattel by Commissioner Garfield, of the Bureau. of Corporations, and the cuuclution wee reached that under exieting reierat laws the inntrance business .could not be supervised by the Bureau .of Cor- porations because, in the light of the constitution, and, in view of certain decisions of Federal eourts, it was not. regarded as interstate commerce. At the last session of Congrees Sea - :dor Dryden introduced a measure pro- viding, in brief, for supervisory control of interstate insurance businces by the Bureau of Corporations. It was along the lince of this bill that the couterence to -day proceeded. The President is known to be in favor of the Federal control of insurance bueinees if it can be brought about constitutionally. That the Supreme Court of the United , States eventually will be called to pasz wella upon the question there is little doubt. e BROEE UARA 1 Chatham Lady Arrested on Port Stanley" Complaint.
