NEW YORK, May 29.-The share specula-
ton today was strong in tone but WAS
rather dull. the volume OF business being
lighter than for some days PAST. The
holiday tomorrow hal possibly much to
DO with both the advancing tendency Of
prices and the general activity. The bears
who are constitutionally opposed to
remaining short over holiday were the
main buyers in the market to cover their
short contracts aud to the short interest is
due the appreciation in values. The feel
ing of uncertainty which fills the specula-
tive mind on the eve Of holiday kept
some purchasers out Of today's market
and this tended to restrict the
business. The feature of the
day was the heavy demand for
Chicago Gas, the buying in which is be-
lieved to have been for the same CLIQUE
which has operated SO successfully in su-
gar and which. it is said, has formed u
bull pool in Gas. Their purchases sent the
price up sharply to "a. An advance of 2ss
per cent from yesterdays closing price,
with only q per cent reaction ut the close
Sugar led the market in poiyt of activity,
fuctuating between 9935i i@101 Is and closing
per cent down from the highest point of
the day, but ~ per cent higher than on
yesterday. Tue trading in the stocks was
in small lots, showing the big operators
were not in the market. A drive was
made on Burlington and Quincy in the
early dealings on rumors that the
April statement would show
heavy decrease in net earnings and
the stock gave way q per cent, but when
the statement was published and made a
far different showing. the shares came
Tito good request aud an advance of rs
per cent was recorded. of which ( was lost
subsequently,. St. Paul was bought by
London and rose "a, closing Is below the
best. The rest of the market except Atch-
ison. in which there were some moderate
dealings for London aud Boston accounts,
was inactive, but the tendency of values
was toward a higher range and specula-
ton was firm at the close.
The railway bond market was somewhat
Irregular during the day but closed steady.

Queer Thmss IN a Wen.

While worSmen were once engaged
in sinking a well on the farm of David
Cumming, in Washington township,
Ringgold county, Ia, they had some
queer experiences AT depth of four
teen feet they found between peck
and a half-bushel of white walnuts or
"butternuts," and at a depth of TWEEN
ty-six feet a fine pair of deer's horns
and large log of wood The horns
were very soft when first taken out,
but soon hardened on exposure to the
air. The peculiar part of the whole
affair is the fact that there is not q

CALIFORNIA'S CROPS.

SACRAMENTO, Cali. May 29.-Directol
Barwick of the California weather service,
in his crop bulletin for the week ending
May IS, summarizes as follows:
While all grain and hay crops through
out the state are short they are much
greater than crops known to have been
harvested when the most favorable wealth

were almost ruined in the early fruit belts

NEW YORK, May 29-The demand was
very uneven, nevertheless. a good volume
of sales was reached as the result of the
deliveries on former sales of summer un-
derwear, hosiery, brown sheetings aud
drills. colored oltons, cotton tunnels,
clothing, woolens aud shirting fabrics.
There was very light trade in seasonable
stuffs. Printing and odd cloths were dull

that although the rules as TO quiet and

members TO have heard an attempt at
musical whistle within the terrible look

seems to be the natural safety valve Of
good spirits and satisfaction, and the
grumbling man couldn't whistle if he
tried.

Some people have very queer views Of
matrimony. They allow the clergyman
to put the double team harness on, and
then they begin to kick until they have
smashed the wagon into kindling wood
They solemnly swear to love- honor and
obey, but before the honeymoon is over it
Is changed into vinegar moon. 1t is the
old story of the monkey and the parrot, for
the circus begins soon after the benediction,
and one Of them starts for the divorce
courts before the confectioner has been
paid for the wedding cake
There are several illustrations of these
statements close at hand. One young lady
informs us that she had rejected her lover
on three separate occasions, but finally sur
rendered because it was easier, on the whole,
to marry him than to keep telling him hat
she wouldn't do it, They got into a quar-
rel on the way home, and the husband left
his beloved, his prize, his treasure, his
duckling, in horse car, while he went to a
drug store for some arnica and court plas-
ter.

Time dragged rather heavily at the Di
Carlos after Pats departure. There was
no one now always ready 90 give a hu-
mOrous turn 10 commonplace thiugs-to
raise a playful breeze over the duh mo
notony Of everyday life. Whether the
baby bumped her head or a customer
quarreled over his bill, the occurrence,
served mp with Pats piquant wit, had
always become a delightful joke.
II is possible that not even Carlotta
missed him more than did the signora
And the little family toes missed him!
Dainty pink buttons that had not been
allowed to see light came all the way
out, as If 10 inquire for the absent Pat,
and grew familiar with the floor and the
bauquette, like other little dago chill
dren's toes. And yet the signora vowed
that she had done nothing but pay out
money for shoe patching ever since Mr..
Pat went away.
In the evenings the young men and
boys still came and laughed and talked
with Carlotta.
At first there had been occasional ex-
pressions Of surprise, with inquisitive
glances, at SOcolas marriage TO the
other, but the mothers fiat and surprised
denial Of her Carlotta's ever having been
thought Of in SO absurd connection
soon silenced all concern about the mat
ter.
Pat came usually on Saturday night
or Sunday, and was always an honored
guest. 1.-THE madam never tired Of re-
hearsing to him the events Of the week
or exhibiting the baby's last tooth or
promising gums, nor did she ever fail TO
hold out for his inspection "the mos'-a
easy-walkin pal shoes ess-a ever was-a
wear"
And so weeks Tapped over weeks I'M
til months had passed and folded like
wise one upon the other.
CarlOtta was still to her fond old lover
dainty little saint within high niche,
and when he said his Hail Mary at
night, as he had tried to do ever since he
had confessed himself in love, he kept
seeing her picture sitting in the garnet
window i'll the moonlight and wonder
ing how far his piety was at fault. Even
irreligious men say prayers when they
are honestly and purely in love. Pat
was only unreligious.
He still told himself, as he told her,
that she was free and must listen I'M
trammeled to any story Of love that
should please her. And yet when he laid
by small sums of money he thought:
Chow purity it'll shtuff out Ter little
/ pOckutbOok" or, II wondher wull she
lave ut in dhry goods shop or hide ut
in an ould shtoclun! But savin or
shpindin, sure she'll be handlin er own.
God bless herr
He expected to find young men sitting
around the shop IN the evenings when he
came home, and the sound Of an accor.
| dion or flute or tambOurine or familiar
laughter reaching him as he approached
the house served but to identify the
| crowd.
Ii was only when the accordion be.
came his invariable greeting, when, ever
| descending upon the family in the mid
die of the week, he found it still there.
! that he began TO consider that Carlotta
had never told him about this young mn.
