And were the attitude of congress less
certain, there still remains the fact
that, so long as Mr.. Cleveland retains
authority, no law favoring silver could
escape his veto; so that, until the as
sembling of congress in the winter Of
1897, there is no possibility Of any
change being made in the legal status
of silver. For the interval, there is
opportunity enough for the common
sense of the nation to do its saving
work.
Operations on the stock exchange
have been on a limited scale. There
were good reasons for this due to the
inevitable waiting for the new reorgan-
ization schemes which are shortly eX-
pected to be announced. Large opera
tors naturally hold aIoof until the ma
ture of these settlements is better
Known. Another rerson was the apa thy
of the London market in spite of the
fact that foreigners are ready buyers
of all first-cless issues. Still another
cause Of hesitancy is the inclination 10
discriminate more closely in specula-
tive purchases, a disposition which is
likely to become more marked as the
advance continues. Thus far the mar
ket has not had any severe test; so that
prudent operators, even when believing
in better prices, are more particular
as to the financial condition of prop
critics as well as their business pros
poets. The induStrials have been sub
tect to several bear attacks, but thus
far the railroads have successfully re-
sisted all attempts at depression; the
steady increase of earnings and the
improved commercial and crop outlook
tdiscouraging any general selling of rail-
road stocks. The

checked buying it is true, but failed to
ifnduce any decline of consequence,
showing that confidence in the future

monthly report attracted much atten-
ton for its satisfactory results, and
from the wide territory covered and
large variety Of products carried was
regarded as excellent proof of business
improvement. The break in the indus
trials, which began on Thursday, was
not very great surprise. These secur-
tiles have long been an element of
weakness in the situation, and the dis
turhance there must naturally have an
effect upon other securities. The bears
have made one successful stroke and
are not likely to give in until having
very heavy selling. The decline, how
ever, will in the end benefit the market
by creating a fresh buying basis and
leaving the situation more clear of
doubtful cpotS.

EDISON DON'T GET IT.
NORTH AMERICAN PHONOGRAPH
STOCK HELD UP.

Sold and Wound Up
NEW YORK, April lS.-JOhn
Hardin, receiver Of the North
American Photograph Company,
gave notice to the creditors Of the
company several days ago that he
had receive J from Thos. a. Edison
a bid OF $4,000 for the Company's
remaining assets and he proposed
to submit the bid to chancellor
McGill. He sent out the notice so
that the creditors, if they objected
to the acceptance OF the bid, might
appear before the chancellor.
Several OF the creditors were re-
presented by counsel and there
was a sharp legal fight on an ap-
North American company's books.
The company failed last August.
Receiver Hardin found liabilities
to the amount Of $4,000 and
assets estimated at $125,0O0. The
assets consisted principally Of
patents. Before the receiver took
charge of the property, Mr..
Edison had foreclosed lien
on it, and when his bid for the
remaining assets was made,
the stock holders suspected that
his purpose was to get control Of
the company. When the case came
up, Lawyer Ed. Keasby, represent
ing Henry Stern and Mr.. Selig-
man, who were stockholders, read
a petition asking the chancellor to
order an examination Of the North
American company's books, to find
out the real condition Of the COM
pany's affairs. The object, he said,
was to determine whether Mr.. Edi-
sons bid was fair one or not. Mr..
Keasby then spoke on his motion
for an order to inspect the books.
He said that the North American
Photograph company bought Mr..
Edison's rights in the invention
and started in business with cap
ital of $6,000,000. There was dis
tinct understanding, the lawyer
said, that the territory of the COM
pany should be confined to the
United States and Canada. The
United Edison company bought
from Mr.. Edison, for 100000, the
right to sell monographs in every
other part of the world. The United
Edison company discovered, Mr..
Keasby said, that the North Amer
lean company, of which Mr.. Edison
was president, was shipping phon-
ographs to England, France and
other parts Of Europe, in violation
of the agreement, and desisted on
ly when the United Edison COM
pany procured an injunction from
Vice { hancellor Van Fleet.
"When we find" said Mr.. Keas-
by, "an offer to buy the property OF
the North American company
made by it's president, who is
bound by his contract to do all in
his power to promote the COM
pany's interests, (Which by the
way he has not done; but on the
contrary he foreClOsed lien on the
stock and bought it in for very
small sum-, the stockholders have
a right to ask, rs this good bid?''
The Chancellor announced that
he would dispose Of Mr.. Edison's
bid until the stockholders were in
formed of the state of the COM
pany's affairs.

LETTING FLATS FURNISHED
An Innovation in Real Estate Bushes
in New York.

A recent variation of the real estate
business in New York has been the
putting upon the market Of furnished
flats. Household furniture suitable for
the requil ements of ordinary flats is
now abnOrmally cheap. The big
Michigan concerns have revOiutionized
the furniture business. and it is posi-
Bile to equip a small fiat at almost
nominal cost. Some enterpriSing indi-
VidualS, taking advantage Of this, hire
from a landlord either a whole house
or so many of its flats as may be va
can't for the term of year or more.
The house or the flats are furnished in
cheap but substantial style and then
the tenants are advertised for, with
the result that it is often easy to Sc
cure them for furnished apartments
where unfurnished fats would be a
drug in the real estate market.
There is a large Bohemian class in
New York, made up in part Of artists,
singers and actors, who have occasion
to remain here for perhaps a month or
wv hC u I1iilS, SJlNlOlll 1ohSSI7 <tIlbl q
furnished fiat meets all their require
mentS. Again, there are many persons
who have not money enough to fur
nish a fiat as they would like, but who
do not object to paying an additional
sum per month for a fiat already fur
niShed.
Among the good features Of the pres
ent furnished fiat system is to be put
at the head the item Of protecting
from breakage. 1t is an old saying
that three removals are as bad as a
fire, but actually they are a great deal
worse, for against loss by fire there
is generally some recompense from in
surance, whereas from losses from
breakage in moving there is none
The damage to furniture, more eSpe-
cially to the fragile ornaments which
are familiar part of every New York
fiat, is very great and this item
amounts to considerable in g year to
those Of a rowing or dissatisfied spirit
something not unusual among the
tenants of small flats in this city
A familiar figure in many of the
cheap flats in New York is the INSTALL
ment-plan collector. Persons furnish
ing their own flats ON the installment
plan are haunted by the spectacle Of
this callOus and unsympathetic in
truder, whereas those who hire flats
already furnished are freed from the
annoyance. In some parts of the city
where the competition for flats is no
longer active, landlords have found it
profitable to furnish their own flats.
This system of furnished flats is 4
natural outgrowth Of real estate con
ditions in New York and it is claimed
by real estate agents that it pays very

RECOVERED SPEECH AND DIED
Peculiar Accident to a Girl Who Had
Lost the Power of Articulation.

Miss Belle Decker, daughter of
Wickham Decker, died at Brunswick.
\. Y, a few days ago. She was a!
mystery to physicians and many eX-
perts from New York city examined
her, but We're unable to diagnose the
case. About year ago Belle, who
was at that time a well-developed and
handsome girl, fell down the stairway
at her fathers house. When she was
helped up the girl complained Of her
back hurting her. She continued to
attend school, however, for two weeks,
but could no0go any longer. A day or
! two after the girl left school she lost
the power Of speech. She took to her
| bed and remained there up to the
time of her death She did not seem
| to be suffering from any apparent
! physical trouble and yet wasted away.
! What puzzled the physicians the~most,
! however, was her sudden loss of
speech. Her sense of hearing WaS,un
usually acute, yet she could not utter
i a word She learned the deaf and
dumb alphabet, and from that time
| w dS tUIc " CdIlS OI1 So1lN S<tCAOLi
with members Of her family. During
the years illness she gained d foot in
height but just before her death
weighed only thirty pounds. Last
Monday at midnight Bellies oldest sis
! ter, who was watching at her bedside,
was startled to hear her eXclaim: 81
| can't stand this any longer. I'm dy-
ing" They were the only words the
suffering girl uttered. She sank back
upon her pillow and was unable to
/ talk afterward, although many eNpe-
b.! dientS We're tried to induce her to dc
so. Within twenty-four hours there
,I after she died. After the girls death
the physicians said that her vita
} organs were in good condition. They
! were unable to account for her death
:. as they had been for her illness. The
only theory they advanced in regard
: to the sudden loss of her power OF
J, speech was that her vocal powers
had been affected by an injury to hel
spine at the time she fell downstairs.
