The Correct Thing in Dogs.

A change III the style of dogs is imminent.
The queen has become the owner of white
collie, which IS as rare as white blackbird,
and consequently the craze for collies of that
immaculate hue should break out here imme-
diately. If you cannot obtain q white collie
right off, you might take an ordinary chin
cllilla and black dog and bleach him; or, bet
ter yet, paint him white, like those ghostly
chairs which adorn fashionable drawing
rooms. At all events, the white collie has
now the royal cachct to all American homes
where high bred CANNES are loved for them
selves alone.-Boston Herald.

Growing rnbero.es in FLORIDA.

A Florida pcrfmnery company has nineteen
acres Of tubcroscs in Fairfield and San Mateo
and expects 10 plant nearly 200 hundred acres
more. The manager of the company says
that Florida is the Gully place in America
where these beautiful flowers can he grown
successfully Healso says that Florida is far
ahead OF southern France, where the flowers
are raised extensively BY irrigating at u great
expense. He asserts that be has known the
flowers from ono acre of land to sell for s., 900
in one season. The expense Of planting one
acre is less than the cost of planting straw
berries, the expense Of caring for them not
nalf as much, aid the income fourfold
greater.-Chicago News.

Wire Fences in England.

A meeting of hunters was held III England
recently to protest against the nso of wire
fences. 1t was asserted that great danger
had arisen in the rapid spread Of wire fenc-
ing, which endangered the lives of all sports
men and led to acts Of cruelty to horses and
hounds. The meeting was told that wire
fencing was 80 per cent. cheaper than wood,
End that wire was so much used iii some
5,srts Of the country that hounds had been
literally cut to pieces. The meeting mlani-
r1ously resolved to request land owners to
provide their tenants with timber for f,nc-
ing-Chicago News.

a Wandering Juror.

LAFAYETTE, March 19.-In support Of
motion for new trial in the case of Daniel
Drew, conviC ted for murder and sentenced
for life, his attorneys have submitted aft.
davits setting out that, after the jury had
been instructed and had retired, and before
they had arrived at verdict, David Nc.
Laughlin, one of the jurors, was upon the
streets of the city, separated from the other
members, and not attended by bailif or
other officer. The facts are, that about
o'clock the balliff started with the jury
to get supper. On leaving the jury room
one of them stepped into the water closet.
The baillf, not noting the fact, left the
court house with the eleven members, and
came out upon the street. A few moments
later Mclaughlin found himself left be.
hind and unable to find his way out of the
court house. While wandering around he
came across one of Drew's attorneys, who
piloted him out to the street, when he hur-
ried on to the clearinghouse. Mel lugh-
lin was seen to-day, and makes an affidavit
that be did not speak to a soul save Drew's
attorney, and then merely asked him how
to get out Of the building.

Too Many Fires at Greencastle.

GREEECAsTLE, March 10 Last night
happened the fifth fire within a week.
This is too many-fre-bugs are at work.
Mrs. Ratlif7s barn was entirely destroyed.
The fire-alsrm dismissed the several church
congregations without the benediction,
and in less time than it takes 10 tell it.
The building was but recently erected. the
old barn having been destroyed by fire
year ago. 1t was insured on Friday for
$500 in the Phoenix of Brooklyn. 1t is
thought by many that the succession Of
fires is the work of boys who delight in
such vandalism, the uniform hour Of s
o'clock, at which each barn took fire, being
at variance with the general rule of incen-
diarism.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Produce.


CHICAGO, March BIN spite of the fact that
receipts OF all grains were larger than the esti-
mates the opening hour on Change to day was
marked by frmness and slightly better prices.
The little bulge was OF short duration, and be-
fore noon grains sold at or below the opening
prices. When there was an upward tendency
there was fair activity. but with the depression
in values came dizziness. There were a good
many foreign buying orders in the wheat pit,
and these held the market steady early. But
when IL was announced that the decrease in the
visible was but 40S, COO bu when twice that
amount was anticipated and that the receipts in
the northwest were very large, the tendency
was downward, prices declining &c. May
opened at 1910. advanced to 1870, reacted aud
closed at 1890. Corn was only moderately active
to-day end trading was mostly local. The feel
ing was firm early In the session, there being a
fair demand for shorts, and prices were adj
Vanced about &c. The advance brought out
more offerings and prices gradually reacted.
May opened at 5114@51sse. Oats were dull and
heavy and very little change occurred in values.

TERRE HAUTE, March 1S.-[Speclal. AT
a recentmeeting of the ex Prisoners of War
association letters were read from Senator
Voorhees, and Congressman Johnston. Sen.
ator Voorhees, wrote: 81 have always be-
lieved that the extra suffering and dangers
incurred by Union prisoners OF war were
such as to entitle them to the most favora-
BILE legislation. 1 have always favored
every measure looking to pension for that
class of soldiers, and such a measure will,
in the near future, doubtless become q
law. / am anxious that the arrears of
pensions should be paid, and have bill
pending, introduced by myself, to that
effect"
The association resolved that the Morrill,
bill was not what was wanted, but in the
absence Of anything else it would be &C.
cepted.

The stock market to-day presen ed a marked
contrast to that of last week. being strong
throughout the list. though quiet 10 dull, AMI
marked advances were established in most OF
the active list. The revulsion of feeling was in
greater part due to the sudden collapse of the
Atchison strike. and this morning there was
rush TO cover shorts. Afterward the impression
gained ground that the Gould interests were
buying their speciaities. and some good buying
for the long account ensued. London also pur-
chased the leading shares, and the report
of the Gould stocks strengthened the
general confident feeling. Later, the &C.
cision in the Bell Telephone case started
a liberal demand for Western Union and
it showed the greatest strength of the day. The
contradiction OF the report that the Louisville
d Nashville company had sold the treasury
stock Issued for dividend purposes created a
better feeling in that stock and so aided the
Improvement. There was no bad news to-day
and while the bears and traders resisted for
time the upward tendency, they soon started in
10 cover, finding the attempt 10 be futile. The
first sales were made at advances over Satur-
days closing figures of from = to - per cent,
and further gains OF small fractions were estab-
lished IN the early dealings, but the bears were
enabled to knock the list of TO shade below
the opening prices when the early demand had
been supplied. The upward movement was re-
zumed before noon. however, and from that in
ereasing volume OF business, The improvement
was most marked at about delivery hour and
the best prices were recorded in the last hour
The market finally closed quiet but firm at
about the best prices OF the day. Everything,
