Written for The Evening star
In Memory of Mrs. Harrison.
The sun himself is hidden, scarce a raw
Has frightened the dull city, and a weight
OF grief Expresses all. The hand OF fate
Hung DER us heavily the livelong day,
As slowly the sad hours went on their way:
The city could not sleep, though it grew late.
And mourning, watching for the end. We safe,
And heard of how the children, at their play,
Poor innocents, had well the day enjoyed
The midnight hour had passed, we looked fol
dawn,
And while the sanglIine were with hope upbuoyed
The udings sudden came that she gone.
Today is felt grief real and unalloyed,
BY sturdy freemen, ne'er yet giv'u to fawn.

Brother and Sister Separated for Years Dis
cover Relationship OH the Eve of Marriage.
Huron. S. D., Feb. 6.-In 1882 a young man,
Fl. W. Williams, came to this city from Illinois.
He remained until the following spring, when
he went further west, accommodating some
money, and went to Chicago, where be is now
engaged in the leather business. Williams
parents lived near Springfield. III. The father
was killed in the battle of Corinth. The mother
had Just given birth to a girl baby. The shock
broke her down and she and the baby went to
San Francisco to live with Mrs. Todd. a half
sister. leaving young Williams in the care of 4
family which eventually adopted him. Mrs.
Williams died and the girl became known as
Helen Williams Todd.
Intimate friends Of Mrs. Todd removed from
San Francisco TO Chicago, and during the win
ter of 1888 she and Miss Helen visited them
At a reception Williams and Miss Todd
met, the acquaintance rapidly increased
and there we're frequent exchanges
of letters. This went on for two
years. when Miss Todd went to Chicago to 1.-Two
with friends on Drexel boulevard. her foster
mother having died. The friendship between
Williams and herself Dudded into love and bios
soned intoan engagement and the date for the
wedding was set.
few DAYS before the event was to take
place Miss Todd was looking over package of
old papers lett by her foster mother. These
letters gave faint clew to her brother and she
turned them over to her betrothed and ash ed his
assistance. An old-fashioned photograph
found with the letters matched the one Of his
ton showed that the two were brother and SIS

Review of the Market,

Henry Clews' weekly Financial Review
issued today, says:
During the past week the course of business
at the stock exchange has been quiet irregular
and, on the whole, toward lower prices. The
market has, for the moment, fallen into the
hands Of the professional traders. among
whom. as usual. the "bear" temper predom-
mates. The outside public and the
larger bull operators seem willing that matters
should take this course for while. They
have realized handsome profits or the January
advance; and. in the absence of any very pro-
nounced "buli' feeling at the present
stage, they deem it good tactics to with
hold their support and permit the bears
to knock several points off prices and
then take in new lines for a fresh advance.
There is no sufficient reason for constituting
this change Of temper as meaning that the
speculative feeling has collapsed, or that prices
arc destined to any important reaction. 1t
means simply that the spirit of speculation at
the moment is conservative and that the bull
leaders, approaching this, deem it wiser to en-
courage an undulatIng advance, with its ups
and downs, rather than to force prices in the
direction OF straight upward line. In the
meantime there Is no surrender of the general
conviction that prices must ultimately go
higher and possibly much higher, but it is con-
coded that months may eiapse before that ten
dency eliminates. and. among speculative
leaders, it is preferred that the campaign
should be SO prolonged. The extraordinary
ease In the loan market can hardly possibly fail
to produce an active, ii not excited speculation.
The ''bears" advance as their chief argument
against an upward movement in prices that
the world over affairs are in reactionary con-
dition, which, they say, is attended with a COM
mercial depression which is incompatible with
"bulf' market for securities. There is a
semblance of truth in this, but nothing more
The reasoning would be sound if the depression
to which it refers was the consequence of panic
and its usual attendant widespread bank ruptcy
The only dark spots in the home situation are
the depression Of business and the backward
ness of payments at the south and the dullness
of trade on the Pacific coast. both of which are
mainly the consequences of undue expansion
Of speculation or over-creatons OF cor
porate capital in the respective sections
Our inference from the foregoing factors is
that the market is destined to higher range
OF prices as the year progresses, but that the
elimination is likely to be reached by series
OF UPS and downs--possibly prolonged one
and that therefore. it is not safe to sell short
stock after the recent decline. but wise for the
moment to buy ON the drops and realize quick
profits,
