His Regard For Himself.

The comfortable, well clad citizen was
going along Woodward avenue home the
other evening when a big, burly tramp
stopped him and asked for a dime. The
citizen looked him over and asked:
do you have no more regard for
yourself than to beg on the ~streetsT
"That's just it, boss" was the reply.
"It's because 1 have regard for myself
that I do. There's too many dogs in the
back yards."-Detroit Free Press.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

New YORK, April 22.-The stock
market was cratic i'll the course
throughout the morning. The profess
sional element had the market all to
themselves, and were apparently much
mixed if the frequent changing i'll their
position afford any criterion. The tenn
per of speculation changed almost half
hourly, and the fluctuations, if not wide,
were frequent, although the sales were
small, aggregating only 123, 1919 shares.
The continued engagements of gold
for export to Europe had de-
pressing effect, while the Unexpectedly
good bank statementled to sharp rally.
At the start prices ran off ! to 155 per
cent, the latter in General Electric,
which touched 81, the lowest quotation
of the week. After 1880 a. m. the shorts
showed a disposition to cover, and an
advance of 4 to 215 per cent ensued.
General Electric rose from 81 to 991S,
Manhattan from AS to 1464, American
Cotton Oil from 4S34 to 45, National
Cordage from $50 to 500, Ma
tional Lead from 81 to SO, Lake
Shore from 1915 to 1923, Chicago Gas
from S334 to IS, Rock Island from S14
to S214, American Sugar from 1907 to
1O1I, and Missouri Poetic from Az to
49,. After the bank statement had
been discounted the bears made another
raid in which Lake Shore touched 1274,
Manhattan 144sf, General Electric 9755,
Missouri Pacific Az and Northern Pa
cific preferred IS. Final quotations
showed rally of q to Is from the low
est, but the tone of the market was
generally weak.
The Post says: "As might have been
expected, the sterling exchange market,
the real center of the weeks monetary
sensations, changed this morning into
state of distinct weakness. That yes
terdas's top rates were abnOrmally high,
was plain to all observers. The posted
sight rate of $4,000, figure never
touched in eight years past. reflected
simply a panic among remitters; en-
coUraged. not improbably, by manip-
uIative bidding up of rates.
To cool = headed bankers, the
sterling exchange was such as has not
presented itself half dozen times since
the resumption of specie payments. 1t
was noticed in this column yesterday
that bankers with heavy London cred
its, at the height of the days excite
ment. drew exchange freely and sold at
the market. When it was learned that
the government was still accepting
treasury notes for gold. other bankers
equally observant, went promptly short
of exchange. Neither of these opera
tons involved the shipment of gold,
and the best witness to the
actual violence of the demand
was the fact that this fresh
supply of bills, coupled with the heavy
sales against today's gold shipments,
only relaxed and did not utterly break
the strain. The situation, then, is clear.
So over whelming was the days demand
for bills, and so completely have the
wants of importers been anticipated for
a week or more to come, that, barring
general panic, decline III next weeks
rates is simply inevitable. If bonds
were to be sold abroad by our govern
ment, break of doubled rapidity must
follow. The situation, all things con-
sidered, HIS been one of the most ex-
traordinary in financial history"

NOT DANGEROUS.
Fast Trains May Be Safer Than
Any Other, With Proper Con-
struction and EUuiDment,

struction and Equipment.
In the current number of the Engln-
eerlng Magazine appears an article on
Increasing tue Speed of Railways" by
William Barnet lie Van, an eminent
mechanical engineer. Some consider
atoms connected with the subject are
thus stated by him:
1t may be said that in constantly de-
handing more rapid facilities of travel
people invite corresponding increase
of the rate of danger to be encountered;
but it is very doubtful if the proposition
can be maintained.
The facts 20 to prove, rather, that
faster trains develop more care on the
part OF the railroad people, and that
there is really little, if any, more la
bility to accidents on such account. AS
a rule the "Wild freshman" and "Fly-
ing Dutchman" and Cannon ball' are
run on schedules so arranged as to III
sure the utmost degree OF safety, so far
as all ordinary contingencies are con-
cerned. Their success depends largely
upon this point, and the railroad COM
panies we'll understand that they can
not afford to take any unavoidable FISK.
The demand for increased speed carries
with it the demand for increased prud-
ence.
Fast trains must have men of superior
skill and caution to operate them; they
must have good permanent-Way to
move upon; and they must be provided
with all known appliances for security
and comfort. The general effect, i'll
short, is to improve the railroad system
in all respects, and to eliminate from
1t the carelessneSs and incOmpetency
that would be source of fixed peril
under the siOweSt of fixed time Sched-
ules. There must always be more or
less danger on a railroad train, but it is
by no means sure that anything is
gained in the way of safety by taking a
train which runs twenty miles All hour
instead Of one which goes five times as
rapidly.
On an English railway high rate of
speed is maintained, and this, when
kept at regular rate, unchanged by
numerous stops, is found to be safer
than the slower rate, stopping often
and subjecting machinery to con-
cusslonS and jerks in starting and stop
ping, which disorders parts of the train
more than is done by the uniform
velocity of high speed. The writer has
covered the space of five miles at
the rate of seventy-fiye miles
an hour, and Notwithstanding this
extraordinary speed, there was an ell
tire absence of oscillation. SO far as
any motion of the cars was concerned, it
was impossible to tell whether they
were going at the rate of seventy miles
an hour or twenty. The multiplication
of fast trains. therefore, is thing to be
commended and encouraged; ana the
railroad authorities are wise to make
them as fast as they can within reason

IN A SILVER BOX.
Wealth UnaVailing to Save the
Life of O. Sick Beetle,

Life of Sick Beetle.
San Francisco Examiner.
A young lady, elegantly dressed,
called at bird store on Kearney street,
yesterday afternoon. She was in great
distress on account of the illness of a
pet that she spoke of in the most en-
dearing way. She opened small, solid
silver case, and reposing upon bed of
cotton was black beetle.
''Poor buggie has been sick for over
week. | am willing to pay 800 if you
will cure him. Can't you do something
for him?"
She told how she had received the
beetle about year ago from friend in
South America. She kept it in small
box, feeding it with grass, leaves, small
pieces of fruit, ana occasionally she
would give it drop of water.
On leaving her room it was her GUS
tom to shut the hug up in its box. A
month or so ago she was called out sud-
denly and neglected this precauton.
Upon returning she called for her pet,
and was surprised and delighted to see
it crawl from its retreat toward her.
After this she would frequently leave
it free, and it would obey her call. The
cold weather of the past few days and
his desire for rowing caused the bug to
contract a cold, from which, the clerk
told the SOrrOWing young lady, he can
not recover. Upon hearing the sad
news the young lady closed the box and
left the store with tears streaming from
her eyes. Entering her carriage. she
was driven away in the direction OF Mob
