Wall Street Today.

New YORK, Jan. 6.-London prices came
lower this morning and our market responded
with declines from Saturdays figures at the
opening from TO 4 per cent generally,
though few stocks showed moderate advances.
The coal stocks gave the key note TO the mar
ket, and, although Jersey Central and Della
ware and Hudson were neglected, Lackawanna
and Reading were specially weak, the former
losing l2s per cent to l3i1S, though the loss in
Reading was only fractional. The general list
followed, with declines OF small fractions gener-
ally. though sugar refineries and Colorado coal
retired Il per cent each. Pacific Mail and
Tennessee coal were positively strong, how
ever, and the latter advanced l& per cent to
S71. The downward movement IN the rest OF
the list was of comparatively short duration
and the recovery was quick and complete, many
stocks rising TO fractions above the opening
prices. Toward the end of the hour the up
ward movement became more general and
more pronounced, Colorado coal and Texas
Pacific becoming specially conspicuous. Be-
sides the two coal stocks Missouri Pacific ST.
Paul, Texas Pacific and lead trust were the
active stocks, with moderate business in the
remainder of the hist. At III O'Clock the mar
ket was active and strong, generally at a shade
better than the opening prices.

Representative W. II. Wade of Missouri has
laid aside the Quakeriike simplicity which has
heretofore characterized his demeanor and
his attire and now promenades PENNSYLVANIA
avenue with a huge ribbon and metal badge
on his left breast. The badge is a conspicuous
affair, and its object is the designation of those
gentlemen from Missouri who actively favor
st. Louis as the site for the worlds fair
Col. Wade says he is certain that ST. Louis is
going to win, and shakes his badge as his testi-
mony of faith. IF did not believe we were
on top would not have invested my hard
earned cash III this gaudy emblem" said he.

Nothing Saved.

A little boy was walking with his
father one day. As they trudged along
the father saw an old horseshoe living in
the road, and bade the boy pick it up
and take it along.
The lad looked at the shoe carelesslv
and replied that it was not worth carry.
ing, whereupon the father said nothing
more, but quietly picked it up himself.
He pretty soon sold the old iron for
penny at roadside smithy and invested
the coin in cherries
The day was hot, and presently the
man noticed that his son was beginning
to cast longing eyes upon the box of
cherries, but did not offer any to his son.
He made pretense of eating them, and
dropped one to the ground as if by acci-
dent.
The boy picked it up quickly and ate
it with relish.
A little further on another dropped.
and this, too, the lad lost no time in Sc
curing So, one by one, all the cherries
were dropped and picked up.
"Well," remarked the father, when
the last one had been eaten, lit did not
pay to pick up that horseshoe perhaps.
but if you had stopped once for that you
wouldn't have needed to bend twenty
times for the cherries"
The moral of the story is an old one,
but more generally known than heeded:
Lazy folks take the most pains. -
Youths Companion.
Johnstown weekly Democrat. (Johnstown, Cambria County, Pa.) 1889-1916, 1890-03-07

\ remarkable degree OF Intelligence
and kindness to stable companion is
shown by horse in Boston. One of the
mounted police officers leaves his horse
in the stable connected with the station
on Blue Hill avenue, near Dudley street,
while lie answers to the roll call at noon
and again at o'clock. The officer fas-
tens his horse to the post forming one
corner at the head of another horses
stall, and as soon as the animal is tied,
the other picks up a mouthful OF hay,
forces it through the iron grating about
his stall and waits until his guest has
eaten it. Then he repeats the operation
and continues his hospitality until the
officer returns for his horse. He began
to do this without any suggestion from
the men, and he does it twice a day,
much to the satisfaction of his visitor.
His performance has attracted consider
able attention in the neighborhood, and
his polteness has won him many friends.

Edwin Forrest.

From Joseph Jefferson's autobiogra-
ply in The Century we quote the fol-
lowing: Edwin Forrest, with all his
faults, had warm and generous impulses.
! know of one instance where a poor,
old actress went to him in distress. In
former years he had known her father
and respected him. Touched by her ap-
peal for assistance, he lent her a large
sum of money, with the almost certain
knowledge that he would never get it
back again 1t was never made public;
no one knew of it but the receiver and
myself. The Forrest home has done much
good, and is likely to do more; and those
actors who either by age or by infirmi-
ties have been debarred the privilege of
following their profession will naturally
be grateful for this rich legacy.
Even in the days of his theatrical fame
and prosperity Forrest was an austere
man, and as he grew older he became
morbidly misanthropical, holding him
self aloof from all but his most intimate
friends. The latter part Of his life was
embittered, too, by illness and the loss
of public favor. Until the closing years
of his career he had been blessed with
perfect health; this became suddenly
shattered, and the unexpected attack
wrecked his dramatic power. He might
have borne the stroke of illness, but to
one whose imperious nature could not
brook the faintest slight the loss of pub
lie admiration was heavy blow; one,
too, that would have shocked a wiser
and more even tempered man than Ed
win Forrest. Still he toiled on, and was
unjustly censured for acting past his
powers. But what was he to do? His
physicians told him that he must act if
he would live; the wheel must be kept
in motion or it would fall. His perform
ances in the larger cities were given to
empty houses, while bright and youth
full aspirants were drawing from him all
his old adherents.
His former friends forsook him, and
naturally, too: they could not bear the
pain of witnessing their favorite of other
days declining night by night No actor
can hope to hold an interest in his audi
ence merely by what he has done in
years gone by; in acting it is the present
that the public have to deal with, not
the past. To witness age and decrepi-
tude struggling to conceal their weak
ness in the mimic scene is too painful.
The greater our affection for the artist
the less can we bear to see him suffer
and go down.
In the vain hope of struggling ON, the
old tragedian sought "the provinces"
Here the people flocked in crowds to see
the great actor that they had heard of
from their childhood; not with the faint
est hope that they would find the grand
eur of the past, but from the curious de-
sire to see ruined tower just before it
falls
