Commercial Houses Liquidated May
Wheat Yesterday.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The general
feeling on the market, outside of the In
dustrials, is confident an effort may be
made to rally Sugar point or two, but
the bull deal is over for the time being
The Pacific Mail steamer Starbuck is on
the rocks at Amapala, but will probably be
fioated.
-Iranscontinental stocks, including
Pacific Mail will probably yield one or
two points for the reason that the pro-
posed agreement to advance rates has
fallen through.
1t is said that the actual earnings OF
Western Union are scarcely equal TO the
8 per cent. that is being paid on its stock.
A special from Chicago says that COM
nilsson houses liquidated May wheat,
but in the aggregate were good buyers
of July. The general crowd sold wheat
short and are still short. Private advices
from Indiana report clinch-bugs In the
wheat fields. This was given out as an
ostensibe reason for the advance yester-
day. In reality it was the report OF over
selling. The visible supply on Monday is
anticipated to show 1lo millions decrease.
London consols are up is, Americans
are better, about is to Il. This is con-
trary to the expectation of the bears who
promised the street that London would
be a seller.
Chicago Gas for March gained in net

A GRAND DOG WATCH.
Held Under Auspices Of the Farra-
gut Naval Veterans.
Speeches by Gov. Llppitt, Mayor McGuin-
ness and by Other Guests.

What most of societies would call a
banquet the members of Farragut Naval
Veteran Association call a grand dog
watch, and that was what they held last
evening in Tilling hast's parlors Besides
the members of the organization there
was a large attendance of the members
OF their families. From until o'clock

could more properly be called a family
gathering, and in this His Honor Mayor
Il. ID. McGuinnesa, took part. 1t was ex-
pected that His ExceIlency, the Governor,
Charles Warren Lippitt, would also be pres
ent, but he was unable to reach the hall
until after the party were seated at the
tables. He was greeted with hearty ap-
plause upon his arrival.
The supper, which was a good one, was
of course the leading attraction OF the
evening, and after prayer by the associa-
tion's chaplain, John Francis, II was
thoroughly enjoyed. This was followed
by speeches, and as the first speaker,
National Fleet Paymaster T.. +. Dustin,
who was tosstmaster for the evening, in
troduced Governor Lippitt, who made a
felicious speech.
His Honor Mayor McGuinness was the
next speaker, who called attention To the

he was told v the officials that the gov
ernment was not building any more
cruisers, nothing but gun boats, and here
his honor said that Providence was no
small town and she could we'll afford TO
wait until Uncle Sam got ready TO build
some more cruisers. end then get one

Last night was the opening engagement of
'The Ideals" under the management of
John A. Himmelein, and the house was
packed. This is cheap attraction as far as
admission is concerned, but judging from the
manner in which they produced "The Golden
Giant Mine last night it does not apply any
further. The company is very evenly
balanced and the performance does credit to
a high-priced company. There are a number
of excellent specialties introduced, foremost
being the singing and dancing of Baby John

Snrprise to a Pastor.

Rev. ID. /. Evans yesterday finished his
fifth year as pastor of the Welsh Baptist
church, on West Oak street, and last evening
the congregation surprised the pastor by
presenting him with purse of greenbacks
II need scarcely be said that such tangible
gifts are always acceptable to a pastor. The
spirit that prompts such gifts is a great en-
couragement to the pastor in his work, and
particularly so in this case, where the church
has sustained severe losses numerically, so
many of its older members having been
summoned by death during the last four or
five years, and many more having removed
to other cities. The presentation was made
at the clese of n very effective and full meet
ing by Mr.. J. p. Williams, the senior deacon
of the church, whose chief pleasure seems at
all times to be to add to the pleasure of others.
In the course of warm and appropriate ad-
dress Mr.. Williams spoke of the unity of
purpose and general good will of the whole
congregation towards Rev. Evans The
pastor feelingly responded, making reference
to kindness shown him on previous occasions
still fresh in his memory, and closing by ask
ing all to join in prayer to God that He would
lead many of the young people to fill the
vacant places of those departed to His honor.
Mrs. Evans was the recipient of handsome
toilet set from the members of her Sunday
school class. The pastor and his wife tender
their sincerest thanks to the congregation
and others who contributed to the gifts.

Charles alias Butch" Lilly, Joe Caddy
and Lance Parker, alias THE Geezer" boys
ranging from to IA years of age were
before Justice Shoemaker Saturday afternoon,
charged with stealing cakes from the delivery
wagon of Ploppert, the East Centre street
baker, who claims that the boys are a part of
Il gang who have been making repeated raids
upon his wagon and were caught in the act
on Saturday. Lilly and Parker pleaded
guilty. Caddy, the youngest of the trio,
said he did not steal the cakes, but helped to
eat them. Lilly, the eldest boy had nothing
to say further than to plead guilty, but
Parker was talkative and insolent to an
extreme. He said Lilly was the captain of
the gang and he was a good butty. Arthur
Shay, Esq, who happened to be in the
Justices office said kindly to Parker, why
don't you try to he a good boy? If you keep
on this way you will come to a bad end.
Parker nonchalantly replied, Whatever the
captain says goes. If he says he will be
good l will. If he won't, / won't, see Send
us down to the Jail, where the sun never
shines. | don't care. Wen eat all the
tobacco they have in the Jail" Justice
Shoemaker tried to get the boy to talk
sensbly but failed completely and the other
two were disposed to say nothing and abide
by the declarations of the spokesman The
Justice finally committed the trio to the
lookup pending conference with their
parents. They are now under bail for trial
at court.
