OF course you didn't, unless you were

STocKs.-The stock market to-day was
quiet and even dull the greater portion OF
the session, but became more active in the
late trading, while stiffening up under an
Increased demand for both sides Of the &C
count: There was throughout the day
good demand for stocks, while the offerings
were very light, and Notwithstanding the
dullness firm to strong tone prevailed.
The news Of the day was favorable.
There was not in any part Of the day any
important pressure to sell. The rumors OF
trouble in the anthracite coal trade were
still circulated, buta short interest OF some
magnitude was developed in the coal shares
and further selling was frightened on, re-
sulting in the development of considerable
demand for those shares at advancing
prices. In the general railroad list
considerable strength was seen in the Van
derbilts, Wheeling and Lake Erie and
Union Pacific. As rule, however, the
great majority OF the list were dull and held
within narrow limits, though sharing In
the advance which oyfQpAen n all horizons

NEW BOOKS.

Ernst Won Wildenbruch is an author
whose genius is as yet little known
among readers in general outside his
native land. There could be no more
fitting time for the publication of
mis- novel, Francesca da Rimini," than
now, when his drama, Harold" is be-
ing so widely criticised. Francesca da
Rimini" is a story of Francesca Won
Maienberg. whose story only suggests
that of the woman whose Inflated love
Dante has imm0rtaliZed. 1t is a story
of rare delicacy and purity. with a re-
markaDle know ledge OF human nature
The plot is slight, and the tenor of the
novel is philosophical rather than mar
rative. The translation is exceliently
done.
In the Bachelors Baby" the author.
Coyne Fletcher, a Southern writer. has
abandoned the rich field the new South
offers for the well-worn paths of the
conventional English novel. Miss
Fletcher has written clever little story
in somewhat the style Of THE Ouch
esS." Her Irish characters are inimita-
bic, and her American heroine very
sweet and lovable. The Bachelors
Baby is not in any sense a great novel.
but 1t is wholesome and entertaining,
and written in very pure English.

HE GOES OUT.

Rev. HOWARD .MAcQUEARY, the
Ohio Episcopal clergyman who has the
distinction of being the first in that de-
nomination in the United States to be
put on trial for heresy, has voluntarily
put himself out of the range of further
action by the religious persuasion. The
conclusion of the trial was that he was
out of the approved path, and a time
for meditation and retreat was allowed
him. He now writes letter to the bish-
op, avowing his inability to turn back.
Further consideration has Intensified
his convictions, and he cannot escape
the ecclesiastical condemnation by any
mental alchemy or dishonesty. He does
not concede the justice of his SEN
tence. or its legality, but, rath-
er than protract controversy in the
church, he decides to step out. He dis
solves his connection with that denomi-
nation without going into the civil
courts. This is the manly. honorable
course, and will increase the respect

NEBRASKA POLITICS.

Nebraska will have contest of some
interest this year, although the only po-
SitionS to be filled are supreme court
judge and two regents, generally re-
garded as non-politicai in the main. All
the parties have held their conventions
and named their candidates, the Re-
publicans last. The conventions were
all large and stirring, and erected plat
forms bulky enough for general po-
litical campaign. The question of rail-
road control is the disturbing local issue,
and the leading Democratic paper, the
Omaha World Herald. bolts the Demo
cratic ticket and supports the Alliance
candidates. for the reason that the con-
ventlon failed to repudiate the veto by
Gov. BOYD of the railroad bill passed
by the Alliance legislature. 1t in
siSts that the Democrats are not
liz the fight this time, and that
it will be between the Independents
and Republicans. If the former have
not lost their grip they will probably
sweep the state and make it doubtful
for next year. The railroad interest
seems to have been influential in the
Republican convention, at least in the
shaping of the platform. Outside of
the state the only Importance attaching
to the election is as to the evidence af-
forded of the strength of the Reppb-
iican party. and how it is affecting the
new organization.

HOW HE BECAME "LUCKY."

Lucky" Baldwin, the multi-millionaire
and miner and horseman. of California, was
seen in Chicago the other afternoon He was
ON his way to New York to see his string of
horses, but he stopped in Chicago to close
contracts with furniture dealers to furnish
three million doIlar hotel he owns at San
Francisco, known as the Baldwin hotel. and
also an immense hotel at Santa Anita. Cal.
aud another in Eldorado county. California.
Asked as to how he obtained the sobriquet of
Lucky Mr.. Baldwin said that when he
made his first deal in the Ophir mine the
Flood, Mackay and O'Brien gang tried to
...down'' him, but he ''downed" them. On
account of this victory over the bonanza
kings heswas then called Lucky Baldwin.
Mr.. Baldwin says that all the sympathy on
the coast in the Searles-Hopkins will con-
tests with young Timothy Hopkins. and
everybody believes he ought to get the
money he is fighting for. Mr. Baldwin
says it Is a mistake to believe that the
bottom has been knocked out of the
California real estate boom He saws the
days of fictitious prices are over, but that the
state has the soil and the climate lie makes
more money, he says. off one acre of an
orange grove in California than he does off a

to sell a half million dollars worth

THEY PROVED THEM.

Church circles on the West side were
busy yesterday discussing the doings OF
the ecclesiastical court which has been
there in session during the past week,
and there is some difference of opinion
as 20 whether the worthy Methodist
who was on trial has been completely
vindicated, or whether he has been in
completely indicated. On the whole,
the general view is that he has reason
to congratulate himself ON the result,
and that, even if he carries out his
threat of appealing to the bishop, he
will not be in much better position
than he is at present. This business of
demanding the ruling of ones friends
and neighbors on the scandalous re-
marks and criticisms which are float
ing around about him is a danger
Gus pastime. jury trials are notori-
ously uncertain, and every mans ca

who had never heard of the charges
before heard of them when you made
your denial. and did not believe the
proofs of your innocence" "Oh, no."
said the old man, ut was worse than
that. They proved them on me-" Dis
erection is the better part of yalor, and
the surest yindication is the vindication
which time and prevailingIy good rep
