Stock Exchange In Vcrmont)
Chicago, March 25.-Wheat opened 4
lower than the closing price of yesterday
on weak cable quotations and selling of
May by commission houses. The market
held firm throughout the day and closed
at the top price for the day-with the feel
Ing very bullish. Bradstreet's worlds
visible supply showed a decrease of 3,7oo,-
900 bushels. The buying of wheat to-day
was the best that has been seen in a long
time. Mitchell was heavy buyer of May
wheat said to have been for Armour. The
wheat market is heavily oversold. Corn
and oats did not change very much, but
held firm with wheat. Provision market
was weak at the opening on heavy re-
ceipts OF hogs and lower hog market, but
after the early decline a disposition was
shown by local packers to buy pork and
ribs causing prices to rally up 10 cents
for pork, 10 for ribs and 5la for lard. The
provision market closed fairly steady. ana
we think the break has spent it's force,
and that the low record has been made for
the season. Counselman 81 Day.
New York, March 25.-The stock market
was dull and featureless to-day. London
prices We're steady; consuls l16 higher
than on yesterday. Transvaal matters
quiet. The Changers opened firm, but
later weakened off on selling of long
stock. ST. Paul was fairly steady, Tho
earnings for the road show up fairly well,
Sterling exchange Is strong but still one
cent from gold shipping point. Sugar was
active and firm. Raw sugar Is strong at
top prices. Holders of Northern Pacific
preferred are trying to get together to
form n committee TO protect their interest
and get better terms; we think this stock
cheap at II. The stock market during the
afternoon was rather dull, but closed
quite steady. Cotton was weaker and de-
clned 10 points from yesterdays closing
price. Cotton seems to droop away, and
is likely to go close to before it turns or
meets new buying. May cotton opened at
7.5G and closed at 75l

NEWS OF LINcoLN,s DEATH.
An Illustration Of the Improvement I
the Means of Communication.

An Illustration Of the Improvement In
the Means of Communication.
Writing upon the subject of s'The Ro-
nance of Our News Supply" Mr.. W.
q. Fitzgerald tells a story about the
death of President Lincoln which strik-
ingly illustrates the improvement effect
ed in our means of communication dur
ing the last 80 years. In those days
there were no.Atlantic cables working,
and news of the shooting of the presi-
dent and his subsequent death had to
come by steamer. All night after Wilkes
Booths fatal shot had been fred Reu-
ter's agent at Washington waited for
the announcement of Lincoln's death,
which was known to be imminent.
The president passed away at . 80 the
next morning at the very moment
great steamer was leaving for England.
The energetic agent hired fast tug and
pursued the departing steamer until he
was near enough to cast on her deck
tin canister containing the mournful
tidings. This was the only intimation
Of Lincoln's death received in England
by the mail. It was the custom in those
days for swift yachts to meet the in
coming Atlantic liners off the coast Of
Ireland. Tin cans Of special construction
were thrown overheard by the officers Of
the steamer and picked up by the yachts,
after which the messages were conveyed
with all possible expedition to the near
est telegraph office.-London News.

In tn Q Beginning

OF a new year, when the winter season of
close confinement is only half gone. many
find that their health begins to break down
that the least exposure threatens sickness.
1t is then as well as at all other times, and
with people even in good health. that the
following facts should be remembered.
namely; that Hoods Sarsaparilla leads
everything in the way Of medicines; that it
accomplishes the greatest cures in the
world; has the largest sale in the world,
and requires the largest building in the
world devoted exclusively to the prepara-
ton of the proprietary medicine. Does not
this conclusively prove. If you are sick.
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
you to take?

Marine Music q Failure.

Until some recent discoveries by Pro-
fessor Saussier of Vevey, Switzerland,
It was not suspected that fishes were af-
fected by music. In shallow inlet Pro-
fessor Saussier found queer arrange
ment Of strings in the water which de-
manded examination. Vawing the af-
fair from a distance will q water tele-
scope he saw that some fishes, which
had, by the usual painful method, gain
ed possession Of several fragments Of
fishline, were passing them around two
sticks thrust into the water by some fish
erman. When the strings were strung,
the stakes were wedged apart by piling
stones between them so as to tighten the
strings, three or four fishes rolling q
stone along the bottom with their noses.
The operation was necessarily slow.
The professor watched it at intervals for
two or three days.
Finally, when all was ready, the lar
gest fish seized stick or bone, and,
using it as a plectrum, twanged the
strings with it, while the other. fishes
gathered around to hear the music. OF
course, there was none, as the SUBJ
merged strings refused to sound. After
several trials the fishes tore mp their wa
ter harp in disgust. They had probably
caught their idea from Aimee Saussier,
the professors daughter, who was in
the habit OF playing harp by the bank.

The BORE WAS SHOCKED.
q Blunt Letter That Reached Him From
| the Interior Department.

ING Aubcr1O< Oep8rSme0L
The following anecdote is related Of
Judge Cox, who was once secretary Of
the interior: There is class Of people,
and large one, who find pleasure In
corresponding with the departments on
trivial subjects and prolong the cor
fespondence indefinitely. Agentleman,
Jet us call him Mr.. Jones, was one Of
these persistent specimens who wrote to
the interior department. Although re-
plies were made to his inquiries, be al
ways returned to the front with another
bnimportant question. His case became
subject Of conversation among the
clerks. and at lunchtime one day some
one referred to Mr.. jones' ability as
letter writer.
IF had my way, " said clerk, 'tI'd
soon put an end to his nonsense -
"How would you do it?''
"Why, I'd write him letter like
this, and he wrote as follows:
DEAR Mr.. JoNHs-Yours Of the 9th inst.

tellectual capacities are rather inferior to
those Of boneless Goldfish. am tired of you.
~~0PAa6 JS0 w II uob WElbo BShluy 1 REMAIN,
yours respectfully,
The letter was passed around and read
and finally carelessly thrown aside on q
desk. It remained there until evening,
when 1t was collected, with others, by
the messenger whose duty it was to car
y letters from the several divisions to
the secretary for his signature. It
chanced to be among some letters re1at-
ing to routine matters, and Secretary
Cox affixed his signature without read
ing it. Then it went through the mail
to Mr.. Jones. The following day the
secretary received a communication
from Mr.. Jones. He was shocked and
grieved; he was fearful that the govern
ment was tottering to its fall. When
cabinet officer descended to penning
such sentences. he said, be feared for
the welfare of the country. Mr.. Jones'
wounded feelings were soothed by a per-
sonal letter from the secretary, and to
show that there was no hard feeling on
his part MIR. Jones at once renewed his
correspondence with the department..

little joke he had at his wife's ex-

to find all the seats taken, save one at
each end of the car, and they seated
themselves accordingly. When the
conductor collected the fares Mr.. Field
announced In audible tones, as he gave
him dime. at the same time pointing
to the far end of the car: 'This Is to
pay the fare Of the lady over there
the one wearing the new, beautiful
brown silk dress. !" All eyes were turned
to her and her pretty face took most
becoming rose color, but back OF the
glance she threw at him was
one Of mingled indulgence, appre-
citation and mirth at the unexpected
and apparently truthful announce
ment.
