ALL ABOUT WALKING.

If we take position on general
thoroughfare and watch the ever-mov-
ing crowd pass by we shall be surprised
to see how few men walk correctly and
gracefully. Men who are employed over
desks are apt to be hOlloW-cheSted, and
they invariably throw forward their
heads and drag their limbs after them.
as if they were impedimentS, rather
than members given to them for the
purpose OF rendering locomotion easy
and comfortable. There are others who
roll along, reminding us of the strug-
giles of vessel in a rough sea. Such
men are apt to die young, for their
lungs are cramped in space and without
room for expansion; disease enSueS and
death follows. Probably the most I'M
graceful of all walkers is the boy from
fourteen to eighteen years old. He
drags his feet carelesslv after him,
leans forward AS if he desired to get
his head at his journeys end sometime
in advance of his pedal eXtremitieS, his
shoulders are dropped, his chest drawn
in, his arms hang as if they were at
tached to him by wires, his joints seem
loose, and generally, while he may pre-
sent all of Hogarth's lines of beauty.
they are in such utter confusion as
to be anything but graceful and
beautiful. 1t is strange that pa
rents will not insist upon
correction of these faults. but if they
speak of them occasionally the boy pays
no attention to their kind admonition,
has his own way and grows up to be
stoop-Shouldered, bollow-chested man.
with one shoulder higher than the
other, devoid of symmetry. ungalnly
and ungraceful in his carriage. OF
course this is not the case with major
lty of the young men. but unfortunately
it is true of too many, and to these L
address myself. To get into position:
Stand erect, head we'll up, chin drawn
in, heels touching each other and
the same line, toes turned out at an
angle of forty-five degrees. When in
this position extend the hands over the
head to the full extent of the arms,
instant, then lower the arms to their
proper places, leaving the shoulders in
the position they were In when the
palms of the hands were together. In
this position the chest will be thrown
forward, and the vital organs will have
room for full expansion.
How to walk: Throw forward the
left foot about twenty-eight inches, eX-
tending the toe so that the heel and toe
will strike the ground at the same time.
When the left foot is firmly placed
throw forward the right in the same
manner and follow with the left. The
position of the shoulders should be
square to the front, and the arms should
hang naturally at the side. Pockets in
the trousers are made for carrying keys,
knives. ETC., but not for the hands. In
walking up grade throw forward the
body slightly and bend the knees lit
tie, and the ascent will be made with
out fatigue. Young men, if you are
aware of any fault IN your carriage
practice the above, and you will be as
tonished to find how much easier it is
to walk properly than to go along in
such way as to remind the observer
of the Irishmen's description of frog !:
when he walks lie jumps, and when
he stands up he sits down."

The Various Interests Being
Joined More Closely.
New YORK, March S.-There has been
g radical change in the situation of the
Richmond Terminal reorganization to
day, and it is now likely that the plan
adopted by the committee will be quick
Iy issued. Since the present committee
assumed the task of reorganizing
the system there has been, it is
said, good deal of jealousy
created among the interests which be-
lieyed they were ignored. Among them
the party represented by John H. In
man apparently felt hurt at being set
aside after making arrangements with
Eckstein, Norton and others, who were
appointed to act as a reorganization
committee at the annual stockholders
meeting.
The Olcott committee has had its plan
ready for over week, and would have
issued it on March l but for delay in
forming a syndicate to underwrite the
plan. This work was undertaken by
HallgarteD & Co.. of this city, who we're
understood to have agreed to raise a
syndicate of S35, 900, 900. The committee
made no effort to form the syndicate,
but expected it to be ready so that an
announcement of its formation could be
simultaneous with the issue of the plan.
The syndicate was not formed by March
l, however, and the bankers since then
have apparently made no further prog
TESS.
AS result several conferences were
held, and the various interests identified
with the system have been brought
closer together than they were at any
previous time in the history of the COM
pany. The bankers have been relieved
from the task and the committee itself
has arranged to form syndicate to
underwrite the plan. The syndicate to
be formed by the committee will have
capital of $l5,00O.00O or 500, 100000, and
directors of the company state that they
will he able to raise this amount within
twenty-fOur hours. This makes the work
of the committee now an easy matter,
and, as all the various interests have
joined hands, it is believed the re-or-
ganization under the proposed plan will
soon be completed.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

NEW YORK March S--The stock market,
while showing after.the first hour material
decrease in the amount of business done
from that of the last few days, lost none OF
it's unsettled character. and prices dropped
all along the line, though in the general list
only small fluctuations were noted. The
change in the New England directory could
scarcely be called factor i'll the day opera
tons, although New England still held iJs
place as one of the few leading stocks.
There was further pressure from hear sources
upon Reading, but there weae evidences OF
heavy covering, and late in the day it became
firmer, and was maintained within small
fraction of its last nights price.
The talk of the day was almost all upon
st. Paul, aud, coupled with heavy sales of the
stock apparently for foreign account, were
new rumors that there would be no dividend
at the meeting of the directors soon to be
held. The afternoon also saw special press
ure on the stock, evidently sales for the short
account, and a loss of = per cent from its last
nights prices was shown at one time. The
rumors received. of course, no official con-
firmation or denial. There was more sup
port to the Vanderbilts. which retired from
any prominence in the market but the
grangers were all lower, in sympathy with st.
Paul.
Z One of the weakest points in the market.
especially in the early dealings. was Chicago
Gas. which, selling ex-dividend and ex-
rights, retired from 757s to 74l2, while the
other industrials, without exception, were
dull and featureless throughout. The gen
eral list opened quiet and at irregular
changes from last nights figures, and re-
NAMED unsettled within narrow limits
throughout the entire day, following the
leaders in temper, but making no material
movement in either direction.
The final raid established the lowest prices
of the day, and, while there was feeble
rally in the late trading from the covering of
shorts, no stocks succeeded in rallying more
than Insignificant fractions, and the close
was unsettled at close to the lowest prices
for the active shares, but within small frac-
tons of the opening figures for the foremost
of the list. The final changes show lossee
almost invariably. however. and New En-
gland is down 3 per cent, st. Paul PA, Lacka
wana IA, Wheeling and Lake Erie 1l2, and
Reading per cent.
The Post says: Undoubtedly the most re-
markable element in the days stock market
was the stubborn resistance during the
greater part of the day to the general down
ward tendency. Those affected by the mar
ket have already refec ted i'll the last two or
three days trading. Itlends at least some
color of probability to the report that the re-

called the meeting to order, and ex-GoV.
Howard, OF Connecticut, presided.
Records were approved. and G. A.
Prince offered vote to authorize the
issue of ffty-year 5 percent bonds
to an extent that may be authorized by
law, secured by all the comyany's
franchises and property, the directors
TO apply for the necessary legislation
and to dispose of the bonds for the COM
pany's interest.
E. Z. Cole, of Boston, asked for more
information as the amount of bonds.
c. A. Prince said the quantity was "a
mathematical problem" and might be
subject to statute limitations. Mr.. Cole
said that estimates ought to be fur
nished and the amount limited. Z. A.
Prince said the directors wished to re-
tire the higher rate bonds, the preferred
stock and double track the Western dl-
vision.
Mr.. Cole moved in amendment that
the amount be limited to 100000
above what will be necessary to retire
outstanding bonds and preferred stock.
Frost Lord, of Waltham. requested to
be allowed 10 record his protest against
the further bonding of the road as lille
gal and unWarranted. His request was
granted.

cept Parsons Jr., who had III, 425.
There were cast for Austin Corbin 60
votes and Charles Howard 90 votes.
The bond vote was adopted with
only 924 opposition votes. The Cole
amendment had 1924 votes. and was
defeated by III, Ill votes. 1t was voted
that the meeting adjourn to be called
before June l, by notice giving any nee
eSsary notice of any proposed contract

met and elected Charles Parsons pres

Director McCaulay says: 1.-The vote
today was the largest ever cast at any
annual meeting-larger than at the q.

dorsement the board could have. There
was no opposition and no opposition
ticket. Of course we cannot tell the
amount of bonds we may issue. For
instance, in Connecticut you cannot,

no other cases of sudden dropping of
complaints which would indicate that
the complainants had been bought off.
He had been informed of other in
stances, but knew nothing personally,
and had never made any investigation
except in the case of Stowe.
Being asked about the position OF the
railroads regarding the furnishing OF
cars to track buyers, Gen. Becker said
that there was a great deal of opposition
to the idea on the part of the railroads
at the time he became member OF the
commission, but it had grown less, es
pecally during the past year. There
had been more complaints on this
score from the southern part the state
than from any other section, and more
particularly on the lines of the Milwau-
kee road. The railroads were changing
their attitude, however, and were allow
ing shipments from side tracks, and by
farmers, only stipulating that when a
car was ordered the grain must be in
sight to fill the car. This was in the
case of track buyers more than with
farmers.
In regard TO the Shelby letter Gen.
Becker said that Mr.. Mohler, of the
Great Northern road, had informed him
that the letter was written by clerk,
and he considered Mr.. Mohler'S eXpla-
nation as a disavowal on the part OF the
road of any purpose to attempt to lnf1u-
ence prices. Mr. Shelby had once asked
the commission if the road would have
a right to attempt to regulate prices in
order to protect themselves, and wit
ness had told him decidedly not. Their
business was that of a common carrier
exclusively.

This closed the testimony Of the day,
and discussion enSued as to whether
the investigation into the charges
should lie extended. Gen. ChildS sal d
that beside the sum necessary to carr y
the committee through the period
deliberation over the testimony already
submitted, there would be about $1,000
left from the appropriation.
Gen. Barrett said Mr.. Wolcott had
agreed TO come and testify relative to
the contract IN which he was the party
of the second part, but no reply had
been received to letter written him
five days ago. He was outside the
state. and could not be compelled to
testify. Gen. Barrett said that he had
been informed of a case similar to that
Of the Nelson Store company. 1t was
at Hermann. where merchantlnamed
A. Wells had been told that he would
be furnished with no cars by the Great
Northern company in case he persisted
in paying more than the list price for
wheat, and he would like to have Mr..
Wells and the Great Northern agent at
Hermann summoned, and this The COM
mlttee decided to do. 1t was also de-
cided to summon MI. Stowe, of Wa
dena; Mr.. Amsden, who signed the
Wolcott contract for the elevator COM
panY, and the Nelson Store company, as
well as Mr.. SomerS, the Great Northern
clerk who wrote the Shelby letter. Some
of these witnesses are expected to be on
hand at 10 o'clock this morning. to
which time the committee adjourned.

JUDGES IN CONTEMPT.
A Kansas Bond Case Assuming
HarSh Lines.

Harsh Lines.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March S.-Twenty
years ago it was proposed by outside
alleged capitalists to build the Tebo d
Nosha railroad. To aid the enterprise
st. CLAIR and CasS counties each voted
S75O,0O0 i'll bonds. The road was never
built and the counties repudiated
the Indebtedness. The bonds, how
ever. fell into the hands OF lnno--
cent third parties who brought suit and
obtained judgmenta against each county.
Up to the present time the counties
have successfully resisted the collection
of the Judgment. Recently United
States Judge Phillips ordered the
county judges to make a special tax
levy for the purpose of liQuldatlng the
indebtedness.
The county judges, as we'll as the
people of the counties, were determined
not to pay for what they did not re-
ceive, and declined to make the special
levy. Judge Phillips declared them to
be in contempt of his court, and ordered
them to appear before him March
s to receive their sentence. The
judges pleaded for time in which
to arrange compromise, and Judge
Phillips gave them until March 81. So
intense is the popular prejudice against
paying this railroad debt that. rather
than incur the odium that would attach
to the responsibility of providing for
its payment, the county Judges, six in
number, will suffer the punishment for
contempt unless they arrange a COM
promise with the holders of the bonds.
