The Elevation" of Men.

The attempt to elevate women, as
it is facetiously called, is no longer
an experiment; but how is it about
the attempt to elevate men by this
roundabout process? Are the men
of the day improving? Are the
politicians, for instance, any bet
ter; do they read more do they try
to fit themselves by study for legis-
lative and executive positions are
they any better informed on eco
nomic questions; are they more
sensitive to a reputation for honor
able dealing; are they more Jealous
for the good name of the country in
such matter, say, as the interna-
tional copyright? And the young
men in offices, in shops, in business,
are they being raised intellectually,
or do they share proportionally in
the great movement for the eleva-
ton of the other sex? Every one
can answer this question for him
self by little observation of the
ways in which young men spend
their leisure time. And as to the
outward refnements of life, manner
and dress? Even in the industrial
walks of life, does the young man
dress with the neatness and becom-
ingness that characterize the indus
trial young lady of the period? Are
these trifes? 1t is by the observa-
ton of the ordinary in the conduct
of men that the philosopher esti-
mates the drift of the age. In this,
which has been triumphantly called
the woman's age, one is forced oc-
casionally to note what is becoming
of the other half of the world

ENDED HER TROUBLES.
Suicide Of . Lady Who Once Was Prom
inent in Boston Society.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Homer
Wellington, who resides on Chauncey
street IN Chambers. took q dose Of laud-
anum at about s O'Clock Friday morn
ing with suicidal intent. Her condition
was soon discovered and medical aid
was summoned. Every possible effort
was made to save her life, but without
avail, and she expired just before noon
today.
Mrs. Wellington before her marriage
was Miss Nellie Boynton, and she occu-
pied prominent position IN society.
Her married life was not happy one,
and ten years ago the people of Cam
bridge were startled TO learn that her
husband had attempted TO kill her and
her children by administering poison.
He was infatuated with bad woman,
and took this means to get rid of all
Incumbrance.
The affair made great sensation in
Cambridge on account of the promi-
nence of the parties concerned, and
Mr.. Wellington was sentenced to prison
for fifteen years. Mrs. Wellington has
has not seen happy day since, and
dependency is alleged as the cause OF
the suicide. Wellington will be released
from the prison in about two years, re-
ceiving an allowance of time on ac-
count of good behavior. Mrs. We'll
lington's father was wealthy at the
time of the CRIME of her husband, and
he has since died and Mrs. Wellington

HENRY cLsW's LETTER.
The stock and Money Market Ably Re-
viewed.

btS&Su
New York, Nov. li.-The course of
the stock market during the past week
Eas been of . character to show that, in
spite OF the late dullness, il still retains
elements OF vitality which only need
the touch of the right influences to de-
velop them into lively activity. The
trading OF late has been almost exclu-
sively confined to room professionals,
and the persistent stagnancy tempted
"besrs' into large over-selling, while N
London also the pesslmlsts appear to
have simultaneously fallen into the
same trap. the short sales having In
both cases been encouraged by magn,-
tied accounts of the effects of the recent
banking failures in Berlin and of rum
ored financial dangers in Paris. When
later cables cut down these European
exaggerations to their proper dimen-
slons, it was found that mole hill had
been magnified into mountain,
and both here and in London
there Was q rush among the
"tesrs" TO cover their contracts
Bat while these tests show that the
preponderant feeling Of the market is
with the "bulls" and that in the ma
neuyerings for position preparatory to
the coming campaign the "bears' nave
been put vt q rather serious disadvant-
age, Yet too much must not be inferred
from these symptoms. The result 10 q
hopeful one for the ultimate future,
but not one that justities immediate in.
discriminate buying. At present, there
is unquestionhly a healthV confidence
at the bottom oi the market, sufficient
TO protect prices against important
drops; but conditions have not rlpened
into anything like a sanguine buying
tone. Evidently, IL is the desire OF the
influential leaders IN speculation to
avert such pIotitless result OF cOndi-
tons which promise to produce at a
later stage an active upward movement,
and they prefer to restrain the rising
tone until it ultimately asserts itself
with the power Of a pent-up. force that
can be no longer controlled. That Is
wise and good management; so far as
it succeeds the prospects of the future
are frightened; and it is to the interest
of those contemplating buying to work
in harmony with this drift.
The failure of the old and influential, i,
but very venturesOme Maverick Bank
through speculative alliances was a
sharp shock to confidence, and the
Consequent withdrawal of some mill
ions of money to Boston caused con-
siderable changing of loans with the
effect of a temporary disturbance of
the rates for call money. Later in the
week, it was discovered that the re-
sources of the bank were not nearly go
seriously impaired as was at fret sup
posed, which had the effect OF mitigat-
ing the unfavorable impression anc re-
storing the composure of the money
market. At the same time, this event,
coming so closely upon the develop
ments in the case of the Keystone
Bank and the large defalcation in q
New Orleans bank, has rudely shake n
whatever confidence in banking may
have arisen from the check on mis-
management provided through official
examinations. Unless such inspections
can be made more searching, they will
be regarded as being as much snare
as q protection.

Emerson's mlnstrels played 10 very

the performance, and that Is the last
seen of HIM.
Early Yesterday morning Captain
Downing, of the Toledo transfer COM

on a claim of $24 90 for transferring
baggage. When the boys caught on, of
course there was a howl. and they
swarmed about the harm like boes, each
claiming Individual baggage. Trunks

The property of the Emerson min

The BOYS who have money or friends
who are fixed have left town, but those
