/ The Difference.

Almost at the same. time that the fore
most actor in England was receiving
his honor of knighthood from the Queen
the foremost French actress was being
badly snubbed by some Brittany fisher
men. While Sara Bernhard was spend
ing the summer in her ruined castle at
Belle Isle she noticed how dangerous
the harbor of sSouzo1l was nd how likely
to cause shipwreck to fishermen's boats
She thereupon proposed to- present the
fishermen with q stancll brigantine to be
used for .lifes saving and to bear her
name, but thesrillagers declined the offer.
They were willing to accept the gift of
the boat, but not if it was to be named
for AN aetress.-Philadelphia LEDGER

Wall Street Financiers Interested In the North
ern Pacific Reorganization Scheme Gener-
ally Admit the Plan Proposed to Be Good
Onc-Business is Dull

New YORK, March 16.-The all.impor-
tant topic in Wall street today was the
publication:of the plan for the reorganiza-
ton of the Northern Pacific railroad.
While opinions differ as to the merits OF
the plan according to the securities held
by each respective interest, and while
stubborn contest against the enforcement
of some of its provisions is threatened in
certain quarters, the financial community
as whole, taking into consideration the
record of the capitalists Identified win the
work of rehabilitation and their practically
unlimited financial resources, believes the
success of the plan to be only question
of time. The estimates by experts place
the values of the Northern Pacific securi-
ties at about S5 for the prior bonds, 6O Tor
the general lien bonds, 20 for the new
preferred and Is for the new common
stocks. Another important development
was the announcement of call by the
treasury department on the banks holding
government money for the payment OF ~
per cent of these balances within the pres
ent week. The government bond deposl-
tories hold of government money ABOUT
$22 100000, of which $l2.5OO,OOO is in
greenbacks and $9,5O0.OOO in coin, all of
which figures in the treasury cash balance.
The cali will result in taking about "a ,oOO,-
900 in cash from the banks. The stock
market today was only moderately active
and tho fluctuations recorded simply re-
common and preferred stocks at the outset
displayed weakness, the last mentioned
yielding point. Toward the close most of
the losses were recovered. Speculation was
almost entirely in the industrial shares
with American tobacco figuring for over
half of the entire dealings. Professional
dealers took hold of the industrials later in
the day and substantial gains occurred in
sugar, tobacco, general electric and rubber
Realizing sales and a bear raid subse
quently caused the loss of most of the
early improvement. The publication of
the reorganization plan of the Northern
Pacific was followed by decided animation
and strength in the bonds. In the closing
dealings recessions in prices occurred,
principally in the consul fiyes, seconds and
thirds. The general list was featureless,
aside from firm tone. The Northern Pa
cities contributed $2,154,OO0 toward
aggregating sales OF S3,OS5,OOO. Govern
ments were firm on transactions of $780,
coo.
