NEW YORK, May 1.-Chicago was Q bullish
factor to-day. The strongest arguments of
Westerners were the labor izzle and the agree
ment of the general passenger agents upon the
plan including in its scope the territory be-
tween Chicago and the Rockies to be submitted
for ratification on Tuesday next More specific
arguments were the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy's favorable report and its plans for ex-
tensions, indicating hopeful view OF affairs
and the closer welding of bonds between the
Chicago and Northwestern and Union Pacific
by the election of the president of one to
the directory of the other. Securities Of both
OF these sold promptly. ana were among the
strongest features of the list. The Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy advance was assisted by
running to cover Of some shorts put out yester-
day. The friends of the Chicago Gas trust, or
company as 1t is now, have insisted all through
Its many trials since IS fall of nearly 20
points in November last, that it was first-rate
thing If the public would only see 1t, safe div1-
dend payer with good prospects, aud that its
selling price was simply absurd. The public,
led by the Chicago bulls, seems to be
from recent advances in stocks. st. Paul lead
in speculation to-day, and activity was confined
substantially to stocks which have been prom
inent heretofore. Pacific Mail was among the
many noticeRbly strong features. In bonds,
Atchison incomes, Missouri. Kansas and Texas
securities anG Texas and Pacific seconds were
prominent. Money was little close. In the
afternoon it was reported that the Pennsylvania
dividend would be 2h per cent. regular ana "A
per cent. at extra and s per cent. allotment
on this the whole market took another squirt.
Lake Shore was prominent feature. Flint and
Pierre Marquette advanced nearly two points.
The bid for the next semi-annual dividend on
preferred is 3Ss per cent. Preferred is entitled
10 per cent. on-circulatiye from net earn
ings, and pro rata share with common of any
dividend over per cent. on the entire stock.
This days trading showed marked advances over
last nights closing, and yesterday losses were
more than regained. Advances in st. Paul and
in Louisville and Nashville were in the face of
earnings for March, both of which showed de
creas, the former OF S3 49, the latter of S54 2S2
Reports of labor troubles in Europe also failed
to-atect the rising bull tide. 1t was stated that

AUSTIN, TEX, April SO.-Barton VS.. theStAse;
from Colorado. This is a conviction under At
SIS, P. c. The Indictment follows the Language
OF the statute in defining the offense. feld:
Unnecessary to specify the persons whoss lives
were endangered. On the trial below. over de-
fendant's objection the state was permitted to
prove another obstruction in addition to one
alleged in the Indictment, which other obstruc-
tion was made on same night, and soon after the
first. and at . point on the railroad about
three-fourths of a mile distant from the first.
1t was proven that defendant assisted in placing
both distinctions on the track. Held: Admis-
sable for the purpose of showing the motive or
intent with which the first was committed. and
also for the purpose of developing the geste,
but 1t devolved on the court to instruct the jury
as to the purpose for which it was admitted, ara
to restrict their consideration of it TO th6t pur-
pose only. This the court failed to do. Excep-
ton reserved. Even had there been excep-
ton reserved the cause would have to be re-
versed. The error is fundamental. Reversed
and reminded. Opinion by Wilson.

main question at Issue was the value

In such state of case the proper way is to show
the value at nearest market, and where no mar
ket value can be shown then the intrinsic quail
ties of the thing, its uses, and any facts which
would naturally affect the mind of parties buying
and selling in determining the price to be asked
or given for same. The charge of the court was
too general and indefinite upon the measure Of
damages. The jury should have been instructed
as tc the market and intrinsic value as here laid

Older Than Tho Pyramids.


With an antiquity rivaling, probably
exceeding, that Of the pyramids Of Egypt,
and a reputation scarcely inferior. it Is
remarkable how little notice has been
taken of the death Of the colossal dragon
tree Of Oratava. This gigantic. hoary
headed vegetable veteran died almost
suddenly a few years ago, and may be
said, like the deacon's old masterpiece,
to have gone ito pieces all at once--all
at once and nothing frst-just as bubbles
do when they burst" After a babyhood
Of centuries, decades Of maturity and a
decadence Of ages, it does seem pitt
able that the departure of this wonder of
the world should have evoked little Or
no comment. Fl.
When Alonzo de Lugo, the conqueror
Of Teneriffe, came to Oratava, in 1893,
he spared the tree. but, scandalized at
the profane mysteries which had taken
place in its interior, he converted its hol-
lowness into a chapel for holy mass.
Humboldt. in 1899, gives its height "a
appearing about fifty or sixty feet, and
its circumference neal the roots al forty
Eve feet, and the diameter Of the trunk
at ten feet from the ground is still twelve
English feet" and he computed its age
1T 10000 years. The opening was 90
large that q table was placed in it round
which fourteen persons could seat them
selves. and q staircase in the interior
conducted the visitor up to the height
whence the branches sprang.-London

Personal journalism.

Apart from the value of personal
journalism as historical material, l hold
that the desire for personal details with
regard to public men is healthy, rational
and should be yielded to. Statesmen
are not ciphers, without form of blood
or passion. Their u%tterances and acts
are not pure intellectual s~ecretions. II
you want to know how such and such
an act of weakness or folly is ineligible
at some crisis in the history of a politi-
clan, you must have learned something
more of the politician than you can get
from the verbatim report of his speeches
or the colorless and dry language of his
public documents. Behind every speech
and every act there is the mana weak
man or strong man, high OF low, gem
erous in purpose or base in intrigue.
You cannot get rid of this background,
if you want to describe the event accu-
rately. You cannot do SO when you are
listening to the man, though you should
never have to describe hint. p.

PhOtOrnmlC Lantern.

The photoramic lantern is the name Of
a new device by which a Photographic
artist claims to be able to project upon
a screen or wall, not mere fixed objects,
but scenes Of life and movement, such as
are observed on the white table in the
camera obscura. The invention includes
q peculiar sort Of photographers camera
Of about a foot square. The instrument
is pointed at q particular moving object,
and by turning the handle . number Of
photographs r taken every second.
These successive phases Of a scene in
movement : then converted into trans
parencies and placed in succession upon
q long strip, which is wound on rollers
and passed through the Photographic
lantern, with results which appear to be
similar to the well known philosophical
toy, the "zoetrope."-New York Com

The Timber Culture Law.

Among the many bills introduced
In Congress by Representative Hans.
broug!,, is one that will prove ofgreat
benefit to hundreds of settlers who
have honestly and in good faith en-
deavoured to comply with the act
providing for the growing of trees on
the western prairies, comm only
known as the timber culture law.
This proposed repeal is the outcome
of a suggestion by the Hon. He 1ry
w. Lord, formerly Register of the
Devils Lake land office and which
obtained wide circulation at the time
of its publication last summer.
AS it embraces the features of the
bill proposed by Congressman Hans
brough, we give the communication
in full. 1t is as foil VS.:
The repeal of the timber culture law is
probably at no late date. 1t has escaped
very narrowly in several sessie rs Of CON
gress and ''the pitcher that goes often to
the we'll is sure to be broken" Whenever
the law shall be repealed, or before that
time, every coLsideration Of justice and
equity demands of the govern ment tha.
some provision 81 all be made for the nume-
erous claimants who have done their level
best, and have failed to make trees grow in
sufficient quantities to entitle the entrymsn
to patent. Many Of the settlers have al
ready spent on their tree claims as much in
cash and cultivation as the government,
price for the land, $20O-and are still with
out trees to the required number Of 675 to
the acre.
Over and over again the %entryman has in
good faith com Piled with the law. He has
planted the niece ssary 2,7OO trees TO the
acre again ard again; but frost or heat,
drouth or grasshoppers or gophers have got
away with them. and he hos become dis
oouraged through no fault Of his own.
Trees are difficult to start in many To-
cations, and though they may do we'll when
started, yet it is necessary, almost, to bring
each tree up on a bottle to ensure it's escape
IRON all the ills its young life is heir to.
1t woulc be but q fair concession on the
part of the government; if it were to pro-
vide that each claimant who had and who
could prove that he had for a series of years
camplied with the law. should bs allowed to
make final entry and obtain patent by teud-
ering cash payments for the quarter sec-
tion. as in presumption fling, $500.
HenrySW. Lord.
We shall watch the progress of tt is
measure and if passed will publish it
for the benefit of our readers.
