STORIES OF OLD HICKORY.
General jackson Always Appreciated tn
Services of Good Soldier.

toneral jackson Always Apprec1ateo tne
Services of Good Soldier.
Washington Post.l
In certain popular restaurant in this
city there hangs picture of Andrew jack
son-"Old Hickory"-in his old age, when
he had become the sage Of the Hermitage.
1t is interesting because It differs somewhat
from the accepted representations of him,
and is evidently and undoubtedly authentic.
jackson has always been popular hero be-
cause he was so human-a 'human volcano"
one writer calls him. When he became
President old General Solomon Van Rens-
selaer was postmaster at Albany, n. Y,
under an original appointment from Presi-
dent Monroe
Van Rensselaer, was one of the heroes Of
the War of 1912 on the Northern frontier.
In politics, however, he sided with the
Federalists, or as they had come to be
known, the National Republicans" He
was great friend and admirer of General
William Henry Harrison, and always
claimed that he was the real hero of the
War Of 1872, as perhaps he was on the
Northern frontier When Jackson became
President an effort was made to have Van
Rensselaer, retired from the postofice.
Two different delegations with the same
object in view left Albany in the same
month. They came to this city and told
"Old Hickory" how Solomon Van Rens-
selaer would load his clay pipe, and then,
sitting out on the public veranda of the only
hotel in Albany, the capital of New York
State, would puff tobacco smoke and de-
nounce Jackson and all the works of his ad-
ministration. When "Old Hickory" heard
all this, he took from his mouth his own
clay pipe, and said:
Gentlemen, Solomon Van Rensselaer,
was the first man in New York in 1872 to
raise men to fight the enemy, and he led his
own men, Now, bv the eternal, he has
gained the right to abuse me if he wants to,
and he can do so as much as he ID
pleases."
Van Rensselaer, held his office until finally
removed by Van Buren. He was reinstated
by President William Henry Harrison,
though disappointed in not being called to
the Cabinet as Secretary of War.
General jackson on another occasion,
when complaint was made that Major
George Croghan, whose defense of the fort
at Lower Sandusky against force of 1000
British regulars and Indians was one of the
most memorable exploits of the War of 1872
and made the whole country ring with his
fame, had fallen into dissipated habits and
should be dismissed from the army, re-
piled:
"Major Croghan has earned the right to
get drunk every day of his life if he wants
to, and, by the eternal, the United States
should pay for the whiskyl'

Wonderful Things Diver Among the

The living things of green and red and

ence with coral reef It seemed as though
sudden flood had overtaken me as L
walked in a conservatory of rare growth.
There we're the polyps of the Astra tribe
SO like the garden aster in form and deli
cacy of coloring; the star-like oculina; the
lace-like branches of the towering madre-
poro. Brain stones, some of them 8 feet in
diameter, were scattered in my path. I
stumbled over one of them, and paused to
notice how like the head of giant it was
in shape and in its brain-like burrows
Scattered here and there in the midst Of
the honey-combed craters of the reef, were
shells and marine things of kinds that had
never seen before. I remember the labor
spent trying to pull up beautiful coral
growth that looked like a miniature tree.
1t was no easy task to detach it, and when
with the aid of hammer and chisel I broke
its hold upon the cliff, it seemed to shrink
and die. Its beauty was gone, and threw
1t in disgust away. I could see every object
clearly for at least so feet in every direction.
Small fish would stand and watch me as

A QUIET WEEK, BUT SOME IMPROVE
MENT IN THE OUTLOOK.

With No Support Values Gravitate Toward
Lower Level-A Rally In Railroad
Shares An Encouraging Feature-Condi-
tions All Right-Business and Figures.
Nothing transpired during the week to
lift the local stock market out Of the dead
calm OF inaction which has characterized 1t
all summer. Total sales on call were 7ol
shares against 1.l22 the previous week. With
no support to speak Of, prices were weak
and in most cases lower, Atrbrake being the
only conspicuous exception. Philadelphia
Gas, Duquesne and Birmingham Traction
lost about per cent each. A redeeming
feature of the week, although coming too
late to have much effect, was q sharp ad-
vance in railway shares. This had been e1-
pected for some time and was the leglti-
mate result of big crops and steady in
creases In railway earnings.
II the improvement be maintained all
branches of speculation will soon feel the
will move up to higher level. Conditions
are favorable to this view, but in the pres
ent bearish temper of the country investors
are slow to see the strong points of the mar
ket, while they are keenly alive to every in
fuence that has a tendency to block the
way to q complete recovery. So far as can
be seen the crisis in speculation has been
passed, and any change must of necessity be
for the better.
Sales yesterday were so shares Philadel-

Reports Of Foreign Requirements Has
Bullish Effect on the Wheat Market
There Was No Excitement, but Business
Was Fairly Active.
CHICAGO-Wheat was firm throughout
most Of the session to-day. There was no
excitement, but good steady buying and few
reactions. The news was bullish. The
Brddstreet bullish report on the crops Of
Europe and its probable import require
ments and on estimates by Beerbohm that
Great Britain and the Continent would take
100000 900 bushels of American wheat were
strong bull factors. Early cables were a lit
tie mixed, but prices abroad appeared to be
well sustained. The continued freedom Of
the export movement was one of the strong
features. Brddstreet reported both coasts
for the week for -four as equal to 4,300 900, as
against 2,l6S,000 bushels for the same week
last year. story WIS also started that the
reported prohibition of the breadstuffs iru-
portations from Russia had been officially
confirmed, but this was subsequently de-
MED.
Still these various reports made shorts
more or less apprehensive, and there was
free covering. 1t was part OF the gossip that
Pardridge and George Smith bought in the
tail end of their short line, and the smaller
shorts did the same thing. Some h il storms
were reported in Dakota and also hot winds,
which were damaging the unmatured
wheat.
Under the influence Of these reports the
market started of firm, and December sold
s0%@9O4c. 1t halted at that and gradually
sagged off to 90Ac. Then came reports that
nearly 600, 900 bushels Of wheat and some
flour had been cleared from the Atlantic
seaboard, causing rally to 9oIc again, and
the close was at 90Ac.
Corn was strong and higher. The flrmness
in wheat and provisions gave it its first
strength, but later it was materially helped
by the Iowa crop report, which Indicated
reduction in the condition of the corn crop
in that State during July of 81 points,
railing from CSC on July to S915 on August
This started shorts to covering and the
price of September which opened 1910
up at 563l057c, advanced to 5734c. Later, on
realizing sale it reacted to SIC but shot up
again at the close, going to $3.50, and closing
firm at 5S1ac.
Oats were quiet but firm In sympathy with
corn. September started at 27Ac; sold to
and CLOSED at 2S14c.
Provis ons were firm in sympathy with
grains and the fact that hog receiptswere 800
head less than the estimate. September
pork opened at $40 co. ranges at $40 5715Q
10 65 and closed at $40 CO.
Lard was steady with a range of &c. closing
at medium figures and 2Ac over Yesterday
