trait Of Oscar Wilde, of the order where the
head and the hands stand out as three spots,
everything else being swallowed up in the
dark background. The parlor is simple and

A SERPENTINE PROBLEM.
A Question That Puzzled Number Of Har.

Question That Puzzled a Number Of Har.
ward Men.
Notes and Queries.1
An astronomer from Harvard Observatory
some time ago propounded this problem to
a number of fellow-savants: Suppose that
three snakes, each two feet in length, should
catch each other by the tip of the tail. thus
making circle six feet in circumference.
Suppose that each snake would begin to
swallow the one in front of him. In what
way would the resultant figure, after each
snake had swallowed the one in front of
him, differ from the original circle? There
were many diverse opinions on the subject
some of them entering the consideration of
the fourth dimension of space, because anv
one of the snakes would have swallowed the
two in front of him and yet have been
swallowed by the two in back of him. and.
therefore, would be both inside and outside
of his two fellows.

THE RAILROAD WINS, SO FAR.
A Suit Regarding n Y at McKeesDort,
Favors the B. & o. r. r.

Judge Ewing yesterday fled an opinion in
the equity proceedings between James A.
Chambers and the B. & o. R. R.. operating +ie
Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad. A bill
was filed by Chambers asking for an injunction
to prevent the railroad company from laying
and using "Y" track on the
Chambers Glass Works property at
McKeesport. The railroad company immed-
lately filed a cross bill asking for an injunction
to prevent Chambers from interfering with 1t.
The company stated that it had "Y" track on
the disputed ground. having purchased the
right from the previous owners of the land
Chambers tore up the track and then tried to
prevent it from relaying it by getting an In
junction from Court.
Judge Ewing in his opinion said that serious
question of right had been raised, which could
not be determined npon a motion for prelim-
mary injunction. He issued the preliminary
injunction against the railroad restraining it
from using the track, but ordered 1t relaid un-
til the final determination of the case. No
date was fixed for the final hearing.

SMALL FLUCTUATIONS.
in Stocks, But it u Counteracted By
the STRENGTH of Other Shares

NEW YORK, June E-There was little inter
est shown in the dealings to-day, and only one
important movement took place. The fuctua-
tions in the general list were confined to small
fractions. Some selling Of st. Paul caused
weak feeling in the early trading. but the
strength of Oregon Transcontinental, which
rose to 371S, on the bidding of one broker, and
the strong tone Of the Pacific stocks, afterward
brought about more confident feeling. and
rally set in, which by the close Of the board
had brought prices back again to about the
level of opening figures. The Chesapeake and
Ohio stocks ERE also prominent for the COM
parative animation which they displayed and
the advances made in each of them. The mar
ket finally closed dull and firm, close to open
ing prices.
Railroad bonds were dull Changes were
entirely without significance as q rule.
The sales were only S6SS 900, of which Denver
and Rio Grande Western certificates contrib
uted s95,00O The tone, however, was fairly
firm

STRONG AND DULL.
OIL Holds Up Under the Influence Of Bear-
ish Field News

The oil market was in an anomalous condi-
tion yesterday. Absence Of New York quota
tons left the operators very little basis to trade
on. The market was strong and the opening
price was s21S, the highest was s2sz. the lowest
81 and the close S2ss. The field report was
bearish.
Brokers were very much divided in opinion
as to the outlook for this week. Some held
that prices would rule higher: others predicted
a slump. While either of these views may
prove to be correct, as nobody knows what
day may bring forth in oil, a line drawn be-
tween them would probably indicate the true
forecast. as there is nothing on the surface to
warrant belief In much of a change either way.

When q person with a delicate constitu-
tion has tendency to catarrh or consumption
whether this tendency is inherited or re-
suits from taking cold easily-it is notice

and loses strength, showing that the nutri-

In such case the sufferer should at once
be placed under influences that will restore
the defective nutrition and tend to inYigor-

1t is to be remembered that in every case
the presence of catarrh is an evidence Of
predisposition to consumption, and no
matter how slight the attack NAV be, il
should be treated with the greatest care, and
the treatment should be continued until all
traces Of the catarrh have disappeared.

The Stock Market Winds Up a Week of
Cnusual Dizziness.
Very little business was transacted In the
stock market yesterday, and there were few
significant changes in values. The only stock
that found purchaser was Central Traction,
which went at 3234 the same price that was
asked for it the previous day. The other
fractions were unarranged. For Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester Passenger Railway
230 was bid and 265 asked. 1t was reported that
considerable block was sold privately at the
latter figure. Philadelphia Gas was held
fractionally higher. The other gassers were
slightly weaker.
Electric held around the old figures but
there was no disposition to force it into promi-
nence. The demand for bank stocks was less
pressing than usual, but this probably resulted
from the knowledge that they were not on Ihe
market at current quotations The difference
between bids and offers was, as a general thing,
not very great. but the orders either to buy or
sell were not imperative, and so both sides con-
cluded to await to-morrow's Developments be-
fore showing their hands. Bids and offers
