The discouraging foreign news depressed prices here at tn opening, but leading bulls came to the support of the market. The promi- nent operators were believed to be buying Prices rallied and advanced. The later Liverpool news was somewhat better, but speculation there was less active. There was some disposition to liquidate. however, and so all of the rise was lost on the near months, while the next crop deliveries re- ceded The trading here was dull except for brief period of activity at the start.

New York, May Mathematician matters were the controlling influence at the stock exchange today. At the opening specula- tion was characterized by strength, the better outlook for an amicable settlement of the difficulties from the wrong out of the seizure of the American schooner Competi- tor by the Spanish government having led to fairly large purchases for both foreign and home account. London bought nearly vile and Nashville figuring most prominent ly in the dealings. The early rise was equal to h@1A per cent, the industrials, grangers and internationals leading. The buying power, however, was soon exhausted and period of dullness followed. In the after 1 ao1n asred ne araet was more active selling was partly based on reports of an Anglo-Russian dispute over territory in leading republican candidate for the presi- dential nomination to announce his position on the. currency question.

NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

The old man stood IN fear and trem-
bling. Re had been found out at last,
and he dreaded the awful consequences.

just come home from her daily work
down town. and her sharp eye had de-
tected on his coat sleeve a long hair Of
unfamiliar hue
John, she cried in a severe tone.
after she mad changed her business suit
for a house robe and showed her reet
into a pair OF slippers. Come into the
drawing room; have something TO say

Her husband meekly responded to her
call His face was blanched and his
footsteps showed that he was weak
about his knees. He had every reason
to be afraid. The court. since the in
PRODUCTION of women's juries. had
shown no mercy 70 faitbless husbands.
and only a week before a friend OF his
had been sent TO Sing Sing on much
slighter evidence.
John, she repeated. I've suspected
this for long time. In the interest Of

STOLE HLARSE AND COFFIN.

Meehan's Wild Ride Until He Colllded
With a Telegraph Pole.
New York. March ia man cannot
steal a hearse. even on Cherry Hill,
without mourning a certain degree Of
o1'oauy. Cherry Hill is often uncon-
yentiOnal. but il draws the line. John
Meehan and a male companion, walked
through the Cherry Hill distric, md
in various saloons became inglOuously
drunk.
Shortly before six o'clock Meehan
and his friend found themselves in
front Of No. 15S Cherry street Within
was a scene of mourning. Outside, by
the curb stood a hearse and two horses.
The driver of the hearse was upstairs.
Meehan and his companion saw the
hearse and experienced one of the dis
graceful inspirations Of inebriety. How
they realized it is no matter. Within
the space of two minutes both men were
seated on the box of the hearse, and
that SOmbre vehicle was putting down
Cherry street at pace never before
eQualled since Mark Twain'S hearse
driver ran a race with the old trotter.
Such a sensation had not been seen
on the east side since the year Of the
big wind. AS the hearse clattered down
the street, swaying from curb TO curb
as if it were the drunken vehicle of a
dissolute spirit, all the denizens stood
on the sidewalk and held up their hands
i'm horror. At Water and James streets
Meehan who held the reins, turned q
sharp corner. IN another instant the
hearse was in collision with a telegraph
POLE a big black caSket was projected
through the glass sides OF the vehicle
and the horses came to a standstill in
front o. the sOrriest looking wreck ever
seen in New York. There was Of course
no policeman within call Meehan and
his companion, sObered at the sight OF
what they had done, get down and 81
leutly stole away.
Before midnight Policeman John Nc
CCrmic5. OF the Center street police sta
ton. met Meehan, who had foolishly
fingered in the neighborhood, and ar
rested him. The prisoner was taken be
fore Magistrate Wentworth. He ex-
planned that he had been drunk and
knew nothing Of the hearse or the cask-
et or the episode Of Cherry street. The
Magistrate held him in $500 on the
charge of malicious mischief.

structed the German commissioner Of
the public debt at Cairo accordingly.
This. of course. places Great Britain
before the world as being again support
ed by Germany. and must tend TO upset
the calculations Of the statesmen here,
who have. in spite OF the recent con-
ferences at Berlin. been hugging them
selves with the belief that the estrange-
ment between the Kaiser and Great
Britain growing out OF the Transvaal
affair was so deeply rooted that there
was q possibility Of an alliance between
Germany France and Russia against
Great Britain. particularly in regard to
the latter's colonial policy in Africa.
There is, however. another feature in
the game being played between the
powers at the present moment. Ad-
vices from Rome say that French and
Russian agents are intriguing there in
efforts 10 detach Italy from the drei-
bund. 1t is asserted that these agents
have spent great deal Of money to as
siSt in bringing about the overthrow Of
SignOr Crispi, late premier, who was
known to be a staunch adherent Of the
dreibUnd, and, incidentally, to help the
accession 10 power OF the Marquis di
Rudini, who is reported to be luke
warm toward the dreibund. These
agents are now said to be doing every
thing possible TO influence the new Ital-
ian cabinet 10 effect a change in the
foreign policy which would detach Italy
from her allies. But even the most
sanguine politicians of the French cap
ital doubt If anything will be accom-
plished in that direction, especially az
ter the honor bestowed upon King
Menehk. by the Gar.
If Italy detaches herself from the
dreibund she must do so before May 6
OF the present year, on which notice
must be given by any power desiring
TO withdraw from the dreibund, other
wise the bond Of the three power"
continues Tor another six years.
A dispatch from NassOwah says that
Gen. Baldissera, the Italian commander
in chief, has ordered all nOn-cOmb2tants
10 leave Kassala by the next caravan.
as the Italian military commander there
has expressed the opinion that their
withdrawal will enable the garrison to
hold out until the At5aTa river rises in
July.
Special Cairo dispatches to-day say
that serious disturbances are taking
place daily az Beyrouth. It is added
that $4,000 armed Christians have pa
raded the streets warning the MOslems
to be ready to protect themselves

THE . ZERO JOSHUA.

The prominence which has come to a
colored pedagogue during the past few
months would be very surprising if one
did not take into consideration what
Prof. Booker 7. Washington is trying
to do. He is preaching the gospel Of
labor and self-help to his fellows, and
from its very nature his work rises far
above limitations of race. 1t is hard
TO think Of another man who has under
taken such a task in such a great and
inviting field He has had the sagacity
to perceive the opportunity and he
seems to have the ability for the execu-
ton OF his purpose. He recognizes that
the only real help the negro can get is
from himself, and he has gone about his
huge task with a degree of practical
wisdom rarely manifested by man
whose training has been in educational
lines.
The value OF what he is doing is ap-
parent from the account Of the fifth an
nual conference he has conducted at
Tuskegee, Ala. The resolutions were
sent out in the press dispatches, and
show he has struck at the root of the
evils which are holding down the black
man. The revolutions assure negroes
that they VII obtain their rightful
places in NE community as soon as
they possess Christian character. edu-
cation and property. TO this end pa
rents are urged to bring up their chill
dren with more care, to do away with
the one room cabin. to cease borrowing
upon mortgages. to buy land and ac-
Quire the mechanical arts. There arc
other interesting points, but these are
the main features. They are full of
common sense and contain as much
practical suggestion in them as can be
expressed in the few lines which are
their limit There is no word of poll
ties, no suggestion OF oppression. none
of the can't into which other friends OF
the negro, white as we'll as black, have
fallen.
Reports OF the progress made at Tus-
kegee speak eloquently of the work
that Prof. Washington has undertaken.
Last year there were eighty-two houses
built there and paid for by negroes, and
twenty-five more than half paid for.
At Mt Meigs $4,000 worth of property
has beer accumulated within nine
years. AT Kowaliga, a colored town Of
600 inhabitants. more than 1000 acres
of land have been acquired and not
more than eight or ten families live in
one room cabins. Union investment
and loan companies have also been
formed, and in various other forms this
gospel of self-help is manifesting its
workings.
In all the speeches Prof Washington
has delivered we find no trace of repin-
ing. no suggestion that legislation is
needed for the black man more than
for the white. He realizes fully the dis
advantages under which negroes labor.
but is equally we'll persuaded that they
can only be removed by their own exer-
tons He has been called the Joshua
Of his race, who is to lead them into
the promised land of prosperity; and he
appears to be altogether deserving Of
the title.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
