New York, March 22.-The Liverpool ca
bles this morning reported an advance OF
one-half point in that market and our OPP
ening was l to 2 points higher than Satur-
days close. The reports from all over the
south concerning the preparations for the
new crop are becoming more and more Sc
rious and served TO more than offset the
feeling of uneasiness caused by the politi-
cal complications in Europe. May opened
at 76 advanced to 7.09, declined to los, and
closed at 7.07@7.0S, with the tone Of the
market dull but steady. The Immediate
course of prices depends largely upon the
character of southern reports for the new
crop preparations and in the absence of
graver advices from the other side, we see
no reason to expect any material loss in
values RIORDAN 81 CO.

A reporter describes an interview
between two old college chums who
met by chance in a New York street car.
Their experience suggests anew the im-
portance of discretion when one talks
TE.Rublic places.
The Ggger was accompanied by
a pale, delicate man who bore a sacred
expression, while the other ex-collegian,
one of those fellows with>a stentorian
voice, was alone.
The two friends shook hands effu-
sively, and then began an exchange Of
"reminiscences, in which such frag-
ments as Don't you remember the
's7 game at Princeton 81 and whats
become of Jack S~o-and-So?" were dis.
tinguishable.
Then the one with the voice became
more personal in his remarks.
"Do you remember, old man, how
you always intended to be a doctor?
Ha! ha! you don't look much as though
You took your own medicine, 1 can tell
you. Faithful unto DEATH no doubt, is
your motto. Ha! hal I'll bet you en-
Joy cutting off legs and arms and TAX
ing out old 'insides' and putting in new
ones. I say, haven't you killed of
more than you've saved?"
The pale, scared man was sinking
rapidly into a faint. The big man
braced him up, and, turning to the ons
with the fog-horn voice, said:
"For heavens sake, be quiet! I'm a
professor at the Johns Hopkins hos
pital, and this is a patient I'm taking
there for an operation"
The fog-horn voice and its owner
nearly got killed trying to get off be-
fore the car arrived at the corner

A Suggestion of a Novel Trap-ERect Of
Piano Playing on Rodents.
Truth, OF London, suggests that as
mice like music there is an independent
fortune awaiting the man who will in
vent a small music box which when
wound will u all night, since such a
contrivance would serve to call mice
into traps and would be to the mice
what a decoy is to a flock of ducks, or
looking glass to a tiger. After this sug-
gestion, which is not untrue to nature.
Truth went ON to say that music that
sounds out of killer to a critics ears
would also drive mice from the house.
If the Truth writer had even actually
seen a mouse under the influence Of
music he would never have made that
mistake. Neither would he have said

Whether music affects rats is a uues-

As to the actual doings of a mouse
when listening to music it has been OBJ

man said. ''could make a pianner talk"
when it was observed that the mice
were acting in an unusual manner. The
ordinary conduct of mice when they

plaster, but on this night they squeaked
and squealed and ratified the plaster as
they had never done before. The rush
Of the rodents died way after the
music stopped, but it was hours before
the last squeak was heard.
One of the human listeners was a boy
who had some little skill as a harmonica

including the deer mouse-and the
smaller birds. The mice chiefly ran
about the player, with now and then a
squeak, but sometimes a low strain
with slight modulations would seem to
drive them insane, and then, without
hesitation, they would run over the

that man was a natural born fool to
pray for somethin he never saw and
didn't know what he was after.
And SO consequentially the boys they
went out after Doc that night. 1t
rnought not be right for me to tell
names, but 1 got the news from Handy
Stribblin and 1 can give it t. you as it
was give unto me.
There was four of us in the crowd,
and whom we rid off every man had il
clean sheet tied up in a bundle and
tucked under his arm. When we got
down there to old Ebenezer church on
yonder side of Panther creek we all dis
mounted and dressed out in white.
You see, Doc Mulligan had went
over the creek late that evenin TO tend
some of his sick, and we made nj arr
engagements for him to fall in with four
ghosts right there at the graveyard.
We had a notion that Dec mought may
be change his mind and offer up a
prayer in ase of a pushency, and we
wanted to see II he had forgot how to
approach the Throne of Grace.
Well, by and by, along in the dead
hours Of night. here comes Doc, ridin
his big horse, Jim Brown, in a swingin
fox walk and whistlin a steam caliope.
Just as he rid by the graveyard we rid
out of the woods and Hoped up behind
BIN. When Doc looked back and saw
what was comm he popped the spurs
toJim Brown and they went off through
the swamp like a storm on wheels. We
give him a clost ace for a mile or so,

Give us this day our daily bread
Burn the wind for home, Jim Brown,
Gadblame it, this is a race for life and

"Git out of the woods, Jim Brown,

the lightnins and the gale some lessons
in speed, by gollys-

"Runnin q race for blood, Jim Brown.
and by gatlins we must win or bust
With a few more long strides Jim
Brown cleared the swamp and shot on.

the lane with a straight quarter stretch
ahead and the old Mulligan home loom
IN up through the moonlight, we caught
the partin words from brave Doc Null

"Amazin grace, how sweet the sound
which saved a wretch like me-"
