THE f. S. DEAN COMPANY
Read what the wall street Reporter
ofNew York city Has 10 Say
October PC. 1896.

ain response to the many inquiries sent
to us from all over the United States rel
alive to the Incorporating of E. ,. Dean
& company, bankers and brokers, at IS
Broadway, n. Y, we take pleasure in
informing our readers that the company
has been incorporated with capital of
ST. 900 10000. under the laws of the
state of New Jersey. The capital is fully
paid, worcestershire, and there is no
stock for sale. The officers of the COM
pany are Myron L. Barnard, president
Louis Balback, vice president; and ].
Lamberry, secretary and treasurer. The
company have enlarged their facilities
greatly already, and are negotiating for
the entire floor at their present address,
3S Broadway, as we'll as for wires across
the continent. Our representative, who
called at their offices on Thursday and In
terviewed the manager, went away with
the impression that the E. s. Dean com
pany had taken hold with a vigor. 1t
was on the 18th of the month. their div
dend day, when they sent out their semi
monthly checks, and more busy set OF
workers would be hard 10 find than the
clerical force of this company. They
send out thousands upon thousands of
dollars in profit every Ist and 18th, and,
as the manager eNpialneut their CuSlpIh-
ers live in both hemispheres, and some
carry four or five distinct accounts, ne
cessitating the closing of the books twice
a month. 1t is certainly a great system,
and is brought down to fine point-as
It must be-to carry out in detail and in
a business like manner such an under
taking. Judging from the success of the
old firm, and taking that as criterion,
we wish the new company the same
genuine success and prosperity-a point
which it will not be difficult to attain and
even exceed-judging from the gen
tlemen in charge of the business.

4 Mar.sIou. Fsat d Memory.

Marcus tells us that during his trav-
els over Europe, ne met the "marvel of
znarvelsr at Padua. The marvel IN ques.
ton was a young Corsican, who was in
the city for the purpose of pursuing his
studies az the university. Maretus,
having heard that the young man was
gifted with an extraordinary memory,
dcsred to put the student to the test.
The person who had informed the
traveller concerning the wonderful re-
tenhvencss of the young Corsican's
memory declared that he was so gifted
IN that faculty that he could repeat as
many as 10000 words, II read over to
him but once. Marcus and three dis
tlnguished Nenetians agreed to test the
accuracy Of the statement. A commit
tee visited the student of extraordinary
memory and found him willing to sub
was read over TO him an almost interim
'nable list Of words strung together
without any conservative order and
0ithoU any meaning whatever.
The Young man stood all the time
with his attention deeply fixed aud his
eYes half closed. When the long
string % words had been read of he
ooked up cheerfullS and repeated the
whole of the uninteresting catalogue of
words without a single fault. Then, to
show now carefully his wonderful mem
.ory had retained every word. he went
through the list backwards. When that
task was finished he took each alternate
word-hrst, third, fifth, etc, and re-
pea.ed them until the company was
thoroughly convinced that they were in
the presence of the most wonderful
prodigy of memory that the world had
ever produced

The original ancestors of the modern

coyeries of Brogniart among the fossils
of the mines of Commentry, Allier,
France. to have been some ten times
bigger than their modern descendants
They had big heads and very largely
developed jaws, armed with powerful
teeth, which must have made them look
quite like flying dragons. The ances-
tors of the beaver are shown by fossil
remains to havs been about as large as
black bear. But the greatest differ
ence, both in size and character, would
appear to exist between the gentle, easy

BILE of pertaining for several years a

Gently went through it and found that
there were near fifty hands employed in

homemade suits made by Cutler Bros.

Archer Y. Huntington, son of Mr..
G. p. Huntington, in an interview
last night said: 81 am positive in
my belief that Spain is right and
that her course is perfectly justi.
fable in the Cuban affair. In case
of war, my sympathies will be
with my native land, yet L earn
estly believe that the United States
is entirely wrong.
"Our interference in the Cuban
rebellion is exactly parallel with
the interference Of England in our
civil war. A Cuban republic is an
impossibility. The best class OF
Cubans are Spaniards and the ma
tives could never govern them
selves"
"What do you think would be
the result Of q war;"
"The United States would win
ultimately, but Spain would make
a good fight. l don't think Amer
leans have right 10 discuss even
the advisability Of annexing Cuba

Egyptian Dervish War.

CAIRO, April 4.-Considerable
anxiety is felt here in unofficial
circles concerning the fate OF the
advance guard of Egyptian troops
operating against the Dervishes.
The telegraph line between Koro-
sko and Murat Wells has again
been cut by Dervishes, strong
force OF whom is also reported to
be near Assuan.
On the Berber road the enemy is
also reported to be in strong force,
and in addition to Murat Wells,
the Dervishes are threatening Fort
Helsib, on the Egyptian coast Of
the Red Sea.
Dervishes, it is further announc-
ed, have arrived at Kokrebs, fifty
miles east of Suakim. Another
battalion has been sent to Suakim
to reinforce the garrison. 1t is
thought the Dervishes will attack
the Egyptian entrenched positions.

A CHEERFUL VIEW.

The Argentine Boundary Dispute With
Chile May Be Satisfactorily Adjusted,
NEW YORK. April Ga dispatch
to the Herald from Buenos Ayres
says: A member of the cabinet,
whose influence is more than ordi-
narily marked in the counsels of
the government, has permitted an
interview with him to be published
in the Diario. He declares that
from present indications there is
no reason to believe that any rup-
ture will occur between that coun-
try and Chile. The relations of
the two governments are very sat-
isfactory. though there are yet i'm
portant matters of detail TO be
settled before there will be a final
arrangement in the boundary
question.
The state of trade is favorable
here, though the high price Of
cattle will prevent the export Of
them to England, which it was
thought at one time would be very
heavy. There is much inquiry for
wheat and flour for expectation to
Brazil. La PrenZa advocates the
extension of trade and other rela-
tions with the United States. The
government will extend every ia
cility and aid to the party of STU
dents from Princeton college who
have come here on an exploring ex-
petition.
