How Two Children Conferred and Enjoyed
Happy Day.
Five men, all prominent in the finan-
cial circles of the city, were clustered
about table in the gentlemen's dining
room on the second floor Of Reisser's
restaurant a few days ago, discussing
the current gossip Of the busy world in
which they moved. After the more SUBJ
stantial portion of the meal had been con-
sumed and the quintette were comfort
ably slipping at an expensive brand of
| champagne the conversation turned on
the various methods of gettin: the
greatest amount of pleasure out of the
coming holiday season. As soon As the
subject was preached one of the party
became unusually quiet and took scarce
ly any part in the lively discussion
which followed. After the other four had
offered various plans and suggestions the
silent member Of the party remarked:
''You are all wrong, and to prove the
truth of my words wish to tell you a
little incident which happened to me
Christmas eve two years ago, and of
| which / have never spoken since.
While stopping to glance almost I'M
| consciously at the display in the
windows of an Eighth street cOnfec-
tiOnery store my attention was attracted
by two children. boy apparently about
eight years old and a girl about ten.
They were joyously pointing out all the
dainties in the windows to each other
and specializing upon the amount Of the
many good things which could be pur-
chased for quarter. They appeared to
be warmly dressed, but their clothes
were of the plainest and cheapest ma
terial. and they were evidently the
children of poor wOrking-man, who
was able to support his family. but to
supply them with none Of the luxuries
of life. From their conversation 1
learned that their father had given
each of them twenty-five cents to spend
for Christmas, and the great question
was what to buy with the money. While
the matter was still undecided a
poor, haggard-looking woman came
along leadiag little girl, and they both
looked as if they had not eaten any
thing for some time. The woman
stepped up to another woman richly
dressed in furs and timidly asked for
help, but her appeal was UNDECIDED and
she was haughtily ordered to stand
aside. AS the poor creatures skunk away
in the greatest detection noticed a few
hurried whispers between the two chill
dren, and they quickly followed the
woman and child, and when they came
up with them pressed something into
the woman's hand, who was left speech
less by the sudden good fortune. AS the
children passed me when they returned
heard the girl say: They'll enjoy it
more than we would. Well be at home
tomorrow with nom and pop and have
good dinner and they'll have nothing
When recovered my senses both par
ties were gone, but I'll wager any thing
that those children who gave their all
had happier Christmas than /. who was
the possessor of thousands, but gave
nothing towards making others happy"
The story apparently touched those
present, and in short time the table
was deserted with the wine bot
ties still partially full.-Pbila- Inquirer.

And a rosy little mouth,
And face that shines with beauty
Like q sunbeam from the south.
And her manners are SO charming
And her talk so full Of thought
That II you but pause to listen
All the world is soon forgot.
Thus we neared her fathers mansion,
And were in the best Of cheer,
When she asked: Wont 1t be Jolly

How delightful, quick answered;

OF the weather and the times,

To the words We had to say.

A dispatch from Jackson Miss; says: A
conference of colored men of this State yes
terday promulgated an address to their race
in which they call Constitutional conven-
tion to assemble here August 20. They
claim it is the design Of the Democratic
party to abridge If not to practically destroy
their Liberties. They declare that the negroes
as a race should be represented in con-
yention, and urge that negro organiza-
tions be at once formed in every county
where they are in majority or have
chance of election, with view OF negro
delegates. Where negroes stand no chance
of election they are urged to vote for white
men who they think will extend Justice to
their race.
They declare they are not responsible for
the race issue, but charge it to the white
line Democracy, and declare it their pur-
pose to elect men of their color or show the
world that they are denied free ballot and
a fair count.

SUGAR TRUST AGITATED.
THE ACTION OF THE HOUSE ON THE
ANTITRUST BILL

Causes Dismny in the Ranks of the Holders
of Sugar Trust Certificates in the Ex-
change nj New York Over 10000
Share. Change Hands.
NEW YORK, June N.-The holders of
Sugar Trust certificates were dismayed this
morning when they read of the unanimous
vote by which the House adopted the con-
ference report on the antitrust bill. and
long before the opening of business the sugar
post on the floor of the Exchange was sur
rounded by large and excited crowd of
brokers discussing its effect. They
soon realized what the, effect would
be, however, for when the Chairman's
gayel fell the entire crowd began to
offer the certificates. The first sale was
made at 7515, decline of 1% per cent, and
in the next minute the price fell 81 per
cent more. On this decline heavy stop
orders were reached, and in the first half
hour 41,OO0 shares of the trust changed
hands. Some covering by bears who sold
early in the week on general principles
caused rally of ~ per cent, but the flood
of certificates continued to pour out and the
price continued to decline, the last sale be-
ing made at SO, decline of 75s per cent
for the day Many spectators who bought
the certificates above 80 last week are Grip
pied and it is feared Will have to liquidate
Monday.
The representatives of the Sugar Trust are
anxiously awaiting the decision Of, the
Court of Appeals on the legality of the trust
If it is in their favor or allows the transfer
of the assets, the trust will at once be
changed into corporation. The decision
will probably be handed down on Tuesday.
The incorporation OF the trust would have
been effected some time ego, but for the fact
that its property is tied up by injunctions
pending this decision.
