The use of the term lady" is plainly courteous writes Margaret Deland in "When Lady: When Woman" in the April Ladies' Home Journal Even when the street car conductor cautions us, Don't get off, lady. till the ear stops,' or the cash-girl walls at us, Here's your change, lady" and we feel half impatient and half amused, we hardly know why, even then, we do re- alize, I think, and appreciate, that it is meant courteously. Woman, here's your change" would be distinctly un- pleasant, even though strictly true, and not meant to be impolite
 There is, however, another term which is coming more and more into use, which saves us either of these ex- tremes. mean the old, dignified, non- committal word, madam" "A con ventional term of address," the dic- tionary declares it to be, "to women of any degree"

LATTER DAY DIPLoMACY,

Principally Runs in the Direction of the
 Almighty Dollar.
 Of what use is the diplomatic corps2 To those who take only the hardpan view of the lives of men and of nations a satisfactory answer Is, perhaps, diffi- cult. There Is a great deal about the latter day diplomacy which is orna- mental Newspapers and the press ser vice forestall much of the information which diplomatic representatives are supposed to gather and forward to their governments. Wars are few and far between, and thus diplomacy's field in that direction is narrowed, says a wri- ter in the Boston Sunday Herald A French kings instruction to the diplo- mats he sent abroad was:
 "If they lie to you, lie still more to them"
 That kind of diplomacy is out of date. No doubt many of the things about which the diplomats busy them- selves might be left undone without se- rious loss. But there are new fields for diplomatic energy, and some of the for eigners at Washington are finding them. The minister of a South Ameri- can republic has just completed se- ries of visits to the stock breeding es- tablishments of this country for the purpose of giving his people the bene- fit of the knowledge thus gained. The Mexican minister at Washington has for a dozen years devoted himself in- defatigably to the fostering of commer- cial relations between his country and this. He has advanced trade interests in many ways. This is the direction which the work of the most enterpfls- ing diplomats is now taking. The Gen. tral and South American ministers and their suites, In particular, are bent on making a showing of practical benefits for their respective countries, as the re- suit of their diplomatic service in Washington. They entered with zeal into the reciprocity policy, they hailed with satisfaction the Pan-American and they encouraged in every way possible the international survey to demonstrate the practicability of a down the backbone of the con- tinent. They are hearty supporters of the bureau of American republics, and they are ready for the next thing which promises to speed the day of develop ment for the three Americas
 Diplomacy as practiced at Washing ton, is undergoing a. process of evolu- ton, and 1t Is in the direction of the mighty dollar.

The Week Opened With Strong and
 Active Market.

The Week Opened With Strong and
 Active Market.
 New York, April 1.-TEe week opened with strong and active market for stocks. The bull ranks were swelled by outsiders and they included all varieties of railway and miscellaneous issues The market received its initial impulse from London, the foreigners having taken round amounts of St. Paul, Atch- ison and Louisville and Nashville. The rains in the winter wheat belt and down to the gulf made many bulls and the importation of these rains just at this particular juncture, when damage was threatened to the growing crops, was much commented on. Another thing which stimulated the rise during the first hour was the further advance in silver.
 The early gain in prices ranged from 4 to 2 per cent, the improvement being most pronounced in American Sugar, Tobacco, Jersey Central, New England, Reading, Chicago Gas, Hooking Valley, Louisville and Nashville, Leather, the grangers and the international stocks. The rise in American Sugar was accom- panied by rrmors that the company in- tended to distribute an extra dividend next month. The statement recently made that the company was using a part Of it's enormous surplus to else out it's previous dividend payment and the attitude of Germany in the matter of sugar bounties did not have much ef- feet Chicago Gas moved up to 721s on reports that the directors at the end of the week will order the distribution of the regular rate.
 During the afternoon Lackawani1a suddenly broke 2% to 16OA, Jersey Gen. tral fell IFS to 96ss, New York and New England 27s, to s6B, and the general market from A@h per cent, The de- cline was attributed to realizations and was not entirely a disappointment to those who have been responsible for the recent upward movement. Speculation left off steady, with the usual active stocks from A to 1% per cent below Saturdays closing: Chicago Gas, Su- gar, Tobacco, Manhattan and New York Central gained 1s to < per cent.
 In the inactive issues Metropolitan Traction dropped 41s to S6 on sales of 100 shares in sympathy with the decline in Philadelphia.

HUGGBD TIE LAWYERS.
RICHARD WELDON ACQUITTED BY
THE COURT.
His Old Mother Shouts for Joy and Hugs
Everybody in Sight--several Gentle
men Get a Good Squeeze.


The case of the state against the negro,
Dick Weldon, for the murder of Marshal
Huff of Parrot, nearly two years ago,
was decided last week when the jury
said that Weldon was not guilty.
It will be remembered that julie
Spikes was indicted for the murder of
Marshal Huff, the tragedy taking place
when Spikes left an excursion train at
Parrott in order to buy a bottle of
whiskey. The marshal was called on
to stop an alt creation between the bar
tender and Spikes. He arrested Spikes
and while carrying him to the lookup gave
him permission TO get a handkerchief
from his valise. Instead of handker-
chief Spikes got out pistol and shot
Marshal Huff, killing him instantly, and
then disappeared.
A year ago detective, Fox by name,
arrested a negro III Mississippi who an
swered to The description of Spikes.
When put on trial here the negro claim
ed a case of mistaken identity, saying
that bis name was Dick Weldon and that
he was in Alabama at the time the muir
der was committed. Evidence was such
that the case was continued by the state.
Citizens of PARROT believed that the
right man was under arrest, however, and
upon their evidence the grand jury re-
turned new indictment charging
Weldon with the murder.
When the trial came up WeldOn's attor-
news introduced testimony that Spikes
and Weldon were different persons, and
that Spikes was on the excursion train on
the day of the murder while Weldon was
at work in the mines near Birmingham.
The jury brought in verdict of not
guilty, and then occurred highly
