ieneral Electric was the Second in Point


New York, March 1.-THE excitement
in Tobacco subsidized to-day and the
transactions in the stock We're only co.
800 shares against 100000 shares yester-
day. The price ranged between 1874 and
S0A, while on yesterday sales We're re-
corded al the way from 75A UP to S2s4.
The falling off In business was ascribed
to the fact that the short interest in the
stock had been covered.
General Electric was second in point
Of activity, and $4,000 shares were traded
in, The stock first advanced / to 3S1s
and then broke to 36A with subse-
quent recovery to 3TSs. The early adj
vance brought about by reports that the
company and its chief competitors, the
Westinghouse company, had finally
reached am agreement as to territory,
patents, etc. The directors were in ses-
sion all day, but up to the close of the
stock exchange nothing Of an official
nature was given out In the last hour
on rumors of a serious hitch in the
negotiations the stock dropped pa to
36A, but near the close a rally to 37as
ei1sued.
There was little or nothing to the
general market, although the undertone
was strong throughout. The declara-
ton of a seni-annual dividend of per
cent on st. Paul common stock and the
reduction in the posted rates of sterling
exchange having exerted a favorable in
fluence The new Erie stocks, which
were listed by the governors of the
stock exchange yesterday, were quoted
at 14%@155s for the common, 39@40A

What is Said by Friend. OF Mayor Kiiduff
of Waterbury.

What is Said by Friends oil Mayor kilduff
of Waterbury.
The announcement of the fact by ex-
Congressman James P. Pigott of New
Haven that he will not be candidate
for congress from this district, attracts
more than a passing notice from the
democrats of Waterbury, from the fact
that it has been stated that the friends
of Mayor e. G.. Kilduff, not satisfied
with what he has already received from
his party, are seeking his nomination
for congress.
1t is said that in many respects Mr..
Pigott and Mr.. Kilduff possess the same
elements of strength in their party, and
that if Mr.. Pigott had desired the nomi-
nation it would have been the more
difficult for Mayor Kilduff to have OBJ
tanned it. 1t is long time to the next
congressional convention, however, and
many things may happen before that
time.-Waterbuay American.

On Friday evening, August q, just at
sunset, We laid in the quiet grave, all
that was mortal OF Winnie. daughter Of
DR.. and Mrs Pratt. In the beautiful
Maple Grove she sleeps. Those weary
hours OF pain and woe are gone, and for
her it was happy release. As we look
ed upon her sweet and placid face as
she lay in her white casket, almost COW
cred with the beautiful flowers she
loved so well. we fancied we could hear
the angel voices singing. and gladly well
coming her home. She seemed to be
smiling in her dreamless sleep and say
ing:
II can see your falling tears,
I can see your signs and prayers
YET l smile and whisper this:
/ am not the thing you kiss
Cease your tears and let il lie
1t was mine, it is not /.
Sweet friends what the women have
For the best sleep of the grave
Is a cage from which at last
Like bird my soul has passed.
Sad mother, droop not, faint not, and
though your tears fall like rain you
have the blessed hope that in that
brighter, happier world God will give
her to your arms again. For God mas
marked each Borrowing day and num-
bered every secret tear. And heaven
long age OF bliss shall pay for all His
children suffer here. ). L. ii.

in Memorium.

In the quiet of the Sabbath morning
when our thoughts are at leisure TO re-
call to memory the past, many in this
community will Hnger with tender
thoughts on one who has passed from
our minds, and feel that while his
genial voice and manly arts are only
now in memory, then the recollection of
such brings back TO us the pleasures of
our past associations with him. Laid to
rest in Maple Grove cemetery, for from
his native land, are the remains of our
townsman, Il. K. Mclean, and while
we pursue our daily aVocationS with
that earestness and push which charac-
teriZeS the life of the west, We can still
Finger by the way and recall our daily
intercourse with one whom all were
pleased to know, and recognize as part
Of the power which has placed us in the
foreground of commercial Importance.
Born in the highlands of Scotland, the
characteristics of his race have chung to
him through life, and so prominently did
they show forth in his every action that
we could not but admire his steadfast
adherence to those principles in incul-
Gated in his youth. The place of his
birth was Arggleshire, where he passed
the early part of his life. His moved
to Canada in 1852, where he met and
married Miss Josie Miller. They came
to the United States and located in
Missouri, where they lived for some
years. Afterwards they moved to
eastern Kansas. From there he came
to Wichita with the Missouri Pacific
railway, in the building of which he was
an important factor. He took the con-
tract to build through the Flint Hills
and on to Wichita, where few contrac-
tors cared to bid on the difficult work.
In the building of this road he was
pfenonmenally successful and at its
completion found himself a resident of
Wichita with a handsome fortune at
his command. Since his residence in
Wichita he was one of the foremost
men in every enterprise of consequence.
He was a devout Presbyterian and per-
mitted nothing to interfere with the ex-
ercise of his religion. He was chief of
the clans here in the days of the Gale
DOMAIN society, and many have rejoiced
to be with him at the banquets given in
honor of Scotlands patron saint,-An-
drew-or IN honor of her favorite poet,
Robert Burns. He was very modest
and retiring, but on such occasions the
guests would hear to nothing else than
that he should sing some songs in the
Gaelic language with which he was per-
fectiy familiar No more fitting tribute
can be paid to the memory of a depart
ed friend than to state that ne lived
true to the principles of his church and
the many virtues of the Masonic order,
of which he was an active and stearfast
member. He showed by his every day
life that individuality in character and
steadfast adherence to principles of
honesty and integrity are the true
guides to confidence and respect in bus
ness as well as social life.

turned the woman's correspondence
over TO the presiding elder. The latter
referred the letters to committee con-
sisIing of three fellow-ministers. The

he was in such hurry that he was not

man with grease on his face and warts
on his hands entered. He said nothing
for awhile, but just stood and watched
Mr.. Price write. Finally he said in a
husky tone:

good as you do"
Mr.. Price did not reply, but just kept
man remarked:
Great guns, if l could just write as

BY this time Mr.. Price was annoyed
and the stranger ventured to say:

Then Mr.. Price turned suddenly in
his chair and said, angrily:
