New YORK, March 10. The most i'm
portant factor this week was the ad-
vance in money rates, the highest rate
being 30 per cent. This had the effect of
shaking out some stock, but considering
all that the market had TO contend with, il
must be seen that prices held up remark
ably well. The sentiment Of the week
has been uniformly bearish, and brokers
were reluctant TO advise the purchase
OF stocks in view of the high rates for
monev. The expected relief from Wash
ington vas not forthcoming, aud IT. was
the popular view OF people that il new
bonds would be issued by the govern
ment the money market would let up.
but some thought the reverse would have
been the case. as 1t would have caused
further contraction.
The most favorable feature has been
that the banks throughout the country
are willing to assist the governm ens ma
teriaiIy, aud the banks of Chicago have
Deen most liberal, AS they could best at
ford to be. The exchange market is at a
point where further exports OF gold are
not To to looked for.
Nothing new has come out about the
Reading New Eagland eptang clement,
but IL Is reported that the Reading re-
ceivers Will issue statement on Tues
day showing that the fioa ing debt is
only $4,000, OO0 which is much less than
expected.
The bank statement was somewhat
better than expected, and IL the least bit
OF good news snould come out next w eek
the market Will rally sharply.

wonder if Il male pen, says Walter
Besant, writing in the Queen, may ven-
ture little word upon fashion, and be
suffered to live. What should most
humbly, and with the utmost Difference
submit is the following; How far is
fathion limited and directed by the
wide spread of art and aesthetics: And
If fashion-which more or less rules
and guides every living woman-be-
comes ugly, unnatural, and lnartistic
what becomes of your hoasted spread
OF art and aesthetics? 1t cannot be con-
tended that the simplest and most ele-
mentary artistic ideas have ever enter
el into the heads Of peop'e who can pu
on some of the monstrous things we
meet with in the streets. Now suppose
we had committee Of lady artists,
with, perhaps, one or two artists of tn
other sex to regulate fashion: Could
there arise, with their safeguard, any
fear Of crinolue's return: Would
there be enormous hats like umbrellas:
Should We ever behold Jumps and
humps and bumps stuck on the ;shoul =.

Saved by an Organ Grinder.

A deyout woman of Baffalo was recently
sick, as her family and friends believed, unto
death. She had made her preparations, and
was daily awaiting her end with patient res
ignation. Her hours of suffering were cheered
by the glmpses of the unseen world that
came to her, and one day she called to her at
tendants who wer: grouped about her in hour
ly anticipation of her decease. "Oh, that
heavenly music Don't you hear it?" Strong
ly impressed, in spite of themselves, by her
f"rv"- 'h' rect strained their ears to catch the

sound from street piano manipulated 10y
II Italian across the street swung full into the
rollicking measures of Johnny, Get Your Gun.
There was 4 moments silence in the sick
room, then an involuntary burst of laughter,
in which the sick woman joined. From that
moment reaction set in, and to day, though
still an invalid, she has the prospect Of years
of life before her.

In the year 1914, the torefathers of the stu
dy sons of Norway, gained their indnpan,,-
ence, and since that time, their children have
kept the 17Lh Of My, as the day of all DAYS
in their history. It. WIS, the efore, m eet that
on this l74h OF May in this Columbian year,
they should commemorate the event, in the
formal dedication of Norway's building, erec.-
ed on the exposition grounds. Many of these
people doubtless think that all this fuss should
he held in honor of their countrymen, Left
Erickson, as the discoverer of America, in
stead Of Columbus. G ". Nelson, of Mime so
ta spoke in his native tongu, to the 100 900
Norwegians, and addresses were made by 9th
er distinguished Norsemen. Out of compll-
ment the grounds were kept open until II
o'clock at night.
Prominent among the many state and for
eign buildings, is the one for which the legls.
lature OF Illinois appropriated $S00,0OO to
build and furnish, and tluIy the money has
been we'll spent. The dedication of this pal
ace took place last week, and G ". Altg I'D and
his brilliantly arrayed staff were on hand to
lend their presence TO the exercise. There
was speech making by the governor and also
by Chicagos mayor, Carter Harrison, soldiers
in bright uniforms, music, and ladies bedecked
ip rainbow -co!orel bonnets. Perhaps the
favored few who held ''invites" to the good
things to eat on the second f,or, voted that
part Of the ceremonies the best. So
Certain it is, That when the de,iicatory exer
cires of other states are held, they will have
to stir themselves to equal their sister state,
Illinois. @G s15zz. i.

A Remarkable Duel With Balloons.

One of the most remarkable duels ever
fought perhaps, took place in 1903 between
two Frenchmen. OF course the quarrel arose
about a lady--a certain Mile. Tirevet, who,
it appears, was unable to decide which of the
two she preferred. She finally found way
out of the difficulty by promising to marry
which ever Of them worsted the other They
thought over the matter in a calm and iudic-
ial spirit for IN onth and at tn, end decided
to fl sht duel in The air. Accordingly two
balloons were m lde exactly alike and upon
the appointed day each scared aloft, accom- pa
MED by his second. They were armed with
L blunderbuss, the agreement being that they
were to fire. not at each other, but at the bal
looms. They arose to the height half mile
and then tie preconcerted signal was given.
One fired and missed; the other followed suit
with more disastrous effect. He bit his oppo-
nent's balloon, which instantly collapsed
with the result that the occupants of the car
We're dashed to the earth with frighlful rapidi-
ty and instantly killed.

He Couldn't Find an Honest Man.

An old gentlem ,n evidently glherer of
statistics, but with kindly face which shaded
off to something like philanthropy about the
edges, was gazing abstrac.edly down the
street.
Suddenly he stepped up to gentleman who
was awaiting horse car, and, touching him
lightly on the shoulder, said: "Excuse me,
but did you not just drop s. bill?' at the
same TIME holding out in his hand the sum
mentioned.
The gentleman questioned gazed moment
at the note, assumed look of excitement,
made hasty search of his pockets and said:
"Why, SD did, and hadn't missed it," hold
ing out his eager hand.
The old man slowly drew out note book
and said: 81 thought So" He then took the
| name and address of the loser and, putting
the note in his pocket, walkel away.
SWELL" s,id the o her, "Io you want it all
| as reward?"
''Oh, did not find one" returned the benev
olent old mln, "but it struck me that in q
big place like New York there must be large
quantity of money lost, and upon inquiring
find you are the 31st man who lost S. note
this very morning."
