Speculation Characterized by Strength Through the Day.
 | New York, May 6.-SpecuIation at the
 stock exchange was characterized by
 strength almost through the entire day.
 The only weak spots to the market were
 the anthracite coalers and Chicago Gas.
 The first named ruled strong until late In the session. when Reading ran off
 from 171A to 1614, Jersey Central from 96% to 951S, Delaware and Hudson from 129& to 129, and Liackawanna from 1601a
 to 159A. Lackawanna subsequently re- covered to 16O. Readings weakness was due to reports that the Earle Olcott contingent had parted with it's stock. The old rumor that the big New York companies were seeking the control of Reading failed to check the declining tendency of the shares. Chi cago Gas held well until the last hour. when the price broke point to 731s. Western firms were prominent buyers of the stock during the early trading, the veto of the Frontage not having materialized.
 The general market ruled strong, and the leading issues, except those just re- ferred to, were all in demand. London bought Hberally of it's favorites and dealers report steady absorption of bonds for European account. It Is an- nounced that Barring Brothers have pur- chased $500,00 Minneapolis and Great Western five per cents. from the Great Northern Railway company. The ship ments of securities to Europe this week, according to present indications, will be very heavy. The sterling exchange market is feeling the influence of the heavy drawings against these purchases and to-day the market was positively weak and posted rates were reduced one half cent to SASS and $49015.
 In addition to the weakness of the sterling exchange the market for stocks was benefited by the copious rains in the spring wheat region. This led to good buying of the grangers, and these issues scored material gains. It is un- derstood that the earnings of the gram gers are improving and that the April statements will be far better than gen.
 
 American Sugar was the special card. The stock touched 115 and closed within a fraction of this figure. The rise was due to the further advance in refined. It is stated that the big refnerles are not anxious for orders even at current figures and are Inclined to hold off for higher prices Distilling and Cattle Feeding rose to 1144, the best in years. Tn the inactive issues Canadian Pacific rose S14 to 52, Nickel Plate first prefer red 4 to 69 Oregon Navigation to 23, Consolidated Gas 2 to 142, Chicago and Eastern Illinois preferred 1% to 971l, Flint and Pere Marquette preferred 4 to fl, Louisville, New Albany and Chi cago preferred B to 29, Mexican Central 21s to 1S, and Minneapolis and St. Louis preferred 21a to 55. Speculation closed strong in tone. Net changes show ad- vances of 14@Q1% per cent Reading and New Jersey Central, however, lost 1409s per cent.
 Railway mortgages were in brisk de- mand. The sales were $2,655,0OO

Connecticut's Burglars Work Right Along
 Without Interruption.

without Interruption.
 Higganum, May 6.-The burglars gang made another attempt on the local postoffice and store yesterday morning. About ] o'clock the night watchman at the Cutaway Harrow com pany's works nearby heard terrific explosion and hurried to the store. He saw there had been mischief and noti- fled Postmaster R. B. Clark. He found the safe wrecked and the windows shat tered. There was only twenty-four cents in the safe and this had been left, the burglars evidently being alarm ed by the force of the explosion.
 MT. Clark, after hearing of Mir Davis experience at Durham, had de- termined to put the combination on which the safe was locked in con- spicuous place, but he forgot it, Satur- day night There is no clue. The watchman heard a team go by just before the explosion. MT. Clark had just had his safe repaired after the damage done to it when it was blown by burglars, last August. At that time the burglars got eighty-four cents.
 R. Emmet Spencer's store, in the same building, was also entered but nothing was taken. The tools were. obtained at Emil Modehn's blacksmith. shop.

An Express on the New England Hit an
 Obstruction Near Waterbury.
 Waterbury, May 6.-An attempt was made last night to wreck the west bound United States express train on the New England road, which arrives here at 11:35 in the cut east of Terry vile.
 A heavy railroad tie was placed on the rails and braced with stout pieces of timber.
 The train was at such a high speed that the obstruction was thrown out of position. The pilot of the engine was badly wrenched.
 The spot where the tie was placed across the track is a dangerous one, being on curve and near a f1fty-foot embanlzment. The train was heavily loaded.

The small letters and ep az they
appear between the Christian and
surnames, as in Thomas Kempiy and
William ap Hugh, are authorizations
OF Latin propositions meaning "of,n
''at' or ''from." They generally re.
fer to the town or place where one
was born, or to the family estate In
the case Of the first mentioned person
above, the famous author OF ..Imita-
ton Of Christ, = the denotes "frorn. "
His real name was Thomas Hammer
kin, but he was born in the town OF
Kempen, near Cologne, and on that
account was known during his school
days, and always after, as Thomas a
Kempis, which was equivalent to
Thomas from Kempen. In modern
times these propositions have been
almost entirely eliminated from our
nomenclature, and are now only found
in the contracted forms as in ''Pugh, 9

Emperor William was much disaD-
pointed because the entire regiment
OF the Dragon Guards, whose chief
he Is, was not brought over from
Dublin to Aldcrshot to meet him. Hs
went SO far as to point out 10 his
uncle, the prince Of Wales, and after

to bring a regiment to greet lis hon

politely intiinated to the German mon
arch that there would certainly have
been an unpleasant discussion in the
house Of commons upon the question
OF the enormous expense Of removing
the whole regiment from Ireland to
England merely for few days and
sheer display, William II. remarked
"May be you are right" but he added
that the next time he would himself
review the Dragons at Dublin.

some day, in the parlance OF the

cav that both Jonas ana his mother
expected her to be the notable, hard
working housewife the elder woman
had always been.
Her hands grew brown and hari,
her dresses grew old-fashioned and
she had neither time nor care to re-
model them, as she seldom went any
where except occasionally to church,
and more rarely still on brief visit
to her fathers.
Then the babies came as the years
went by-boys, always boys.
If / only had girl" thought
Mary sometimes, she might grow up
to help me and do all the light and
pretty things that have forgotten
how to do; but these boys will never
care for such things"
Mother bingham lived but a few
years after Mary came there. To the
last she was happy and content, fond
Of Mary, and at home in the farm
house still unchanged.
"Jonas will have to hire help for
his wife, now that his mother is gone
people said.
But he didn't seem to think of that.
AS long as Mary did not complain he
never dreamed she was OVERRIDING OF
needed anything she did not have.
One of the established traditions oil
the house was that they must have a
hired girl through haying time, never
at any other time of the year unles:
in case of sickness.
So through harvesting and the fall
house cleaning, the meat-killing and
the spring sugaring, up to hayinp
time. Mary's one pair of hands did the
work till-she broke down.
Jonas was worried about indoo
matters. Not that he was so misery
he did not like to pay hired help, bu
who was to take care and oversee i
all?
OF course the Mortons were as agi
tated as Jonas himself. and as muc
as they could came to the rescue; bu
