Sculptor at Work In Jail.
S The Italian sculptor, Q. Cisarlello,
mho has been In prison at Naples for
(tha last eighteen months, has recently
been allowed to practice his art In tha
prison. The Idea was suggested to him
tP - postal card sent to him by a friend,
with a portrait of the Crown Prince of
I (Italy on It.
I He sketched a group showing the king
3 land oueen and the bov and made appli
cation for modelling clay and tools and
Ixor permission to have a child of 3
, years to visit him (rally to serve as a
.model for Prince Humbert. The tools
.and clay were furnished, but the child
J 'model was refused.
i Cisarlello went on "with the work and
, lie baa Just finished it Fellow pris
oner occasionally posed for the adult
jflgurea, but he had no material for the
child except the postal Card,
t Notwithstanding this, the work Is
' ald to have merit The government
lias ordered -the model to be cast in
' bronse and the finished work Is to be
aet un In front of tha prison.

Cheese Market is Sensational.
A most sensational tone is shown In
the cheese market all over tho I'liltd
States at this time. In this market
the price Is advanced another Ho a
pound, moat sales of flats being made
at 17c a pound. In a few lnHtancei
some dealers are still selling flats at
14 He but all will likely put the price
to 17o flat tomorrow morning. This
condition In the cheese market at this
time of year is most wonderful. The
condition Is not local, for everywhere
cheese values are breaking all previous
records for their highness for this
period of year. According to T. 8.
Townsend of the Townsend rreamery of
this city, who has Just returned rrora
an extensive trln throughout the east.
supplies of cheese held there are fully
SO per cent short of the normal stock,
and prices are advancing almost every
day. While in the east Mr. Townsend
saya that a decline of le a pound was
shown In the Elgin market one day, but
the demand on this account became so
heavy that the price not only regained
the loat value, but advanced over the
former figure.
Tillamook Supplies Are Vary Small.
Cheese supplies at Tillamook are said
to be the smallest ever noted there at
this time of the year for many scaaons,
and this in a measure accounts for the
many recent advances in the price there
The greater northern demand at this
time is also aiding the advance here,
but one of the principal causes of the
higher prices Is the fact that but little
cheese has been purchased by local par
ties because of the enormous values
asked.
Practically all sales of city croam
ery butter were made today at 32 He a
pound, the figure quoted by the recent
advance. One or two creameries sold
some of their old customers at the old
range, but all will charge the nigner
price tomorrow morning. The Improved
tone Is likewise shown along Front
street, and the best product there
brings 30c today.
Igg Market is Steadier.
A steadier tone Is shown today in the
local egg market. While a considerable
number of bad eggs continue to come to
market the general run of supplies Is
of better quality. Price unchanged as
yet.
Poultry market, while not overfirm. Is
steadier than durlnr the orevlous week.
and supplies are all moved off at the
values quoted Dy in journal.
Oantalonnea Sell at Iiow PUruras.
Very low figures were named again
in the cantaloupe market during the
past 24 hours. Some sales of quite
good fruit were made as low as $1.50 a
crate, and It la stated that the railroads
have been offering Jobbers cants
as low as 31 a crate. The express
charges alone amount to 90c a crate,
and the crate Itself cost 16c each
Where the California grower gets off Is
not fully exulalned. Dalles cants
are arriving In better shape and values
range from 32 to 32.60 a cratu ror Dest
stuff.
Tomato market Is acting better to
day. Supplies are of Improved quality
on account of the cooler weather, and
shipments are now holding up well.
Price advanced somewhat.
Fanrv neaches are selling higher.
Some from The Dalles sold this morn
ing as high as $1.36 a box. but this was
received but for one snippers supplies
The higher priced stocks were not even
urawrorfls. crawroras are ranging db
tween 31 and 31.26 a box.
Potato market Is firmer, owing to
the smaller supplies, some selling as
high as 31-36.
Chlttlm Bark Is Advanced.
Owing to the very light peel In both
Oregon and Washington this year on
account of the scarcity of labor, the
Srlce of chlttlm bark Is advancing, and
ealers are freely offering 6c a pound
this morning.
All lines of dressed meats continue
firm In tone with prices at the top.
Famine in Halmon trade more pro
nounced. No arrivals coming from any
direction at this time.
Watermelon trade Is very heavy, with
price at 31.50 for best.
Peppers from The Dalles are In larger
supply, but the price holds well at 10
12c a pound.

day." This Is an advance of 25o over
yesterday's advance figures. At tha
new range of values the market Is ex
ceedlngly firm and tt Is quite likely thst

value.
Cattle tTp With Scarcity.

movlnar readily at 13.76 4. This Is an
advance of 25c over former figures. For

At the present moment both the
orange and sugar-cane growing Indus
tries of Louisiana are seriously threat
ened by the ravages of the New Orleans
ant, which Is a South American, that
entered this country by way of the city
whose name it bears. The efforts made
by the state to keep out the cotton boll
weevil have been unsuccessful, and the
commission having charge of the matter
has about given up the fight The con
clusion arrived at was that the weevil
could not be exterminated, but that Its
destructive operations could be kept
Careful planting and burning the stalks,
but this same commission has taken up
the warfare against the misnamed New
Orleans ant, which Is said to be more
of a menace than the weevil ever was.
It Is said that the sugar plantations of
Grenada, in the west indies, were al
most wiped out of existence by these
ants in a campaign which extended over
iv years.

Reports from France are to the effect
that electricity may supplant drugs In
the capacity of an anesthetic. What is
called electro-narcosis Is being devel

which is said to produce complete in
sensibility without any Injurious results
whatever. He has conducted experi
ments sufficient to demonstrate its
value. A current of from six to eight
volts completely deadens the brain of a
rabbit, and this suspension of Its func
tion can be extended Indefinitely with
out danger. In the case of the human,
where It has been tried, the part re

no after effects are noticeable.
