TIE EASIEST THING.
Why John Randolph, the Dwarf, Dropped
tho Gum Drop Industry.

That John Randolph, late of Chicago,
Should forsakc that wicked city for the
more cffeto environment of Greater New
York is not surprising when his really
pathetic story is known l met Mr..
Randolph recently, after lapse of
years, wearing an air of settled melan-
choly, IL wide brimmed hat and hair
that hung to tho middle of his back. AT
first hardly knew John, he had changed
so much.
He is less than . feet high, broad of
beam and is blessed with Il pair of legs
that resemble Il horse collar 1t was
those legs that supplied the missing
link i'll the chain of recognition For
years Mr.. Randolph flourished in tho
gum drop industry i'll the Chicago Ten
dcrloin With IL candy tray strapped TO
his stomach, John stood i'll front of thct
atcrs and other places of amusement
and infested saloons, doing IL thriving
gum drop trade at all hours until the
footpads finally drove the little man
from his native heath
Il couldn't stand it any longer" said
John, with u half Sob "Not only did
the footpads break me up in business
but they hurt my feelings so that l had
to leave town. How would you like to
be carried into an alley, held up by the
heels and shaken like IA meal sack I'M
til everything i'll your pockets fell out?
Well, that's what those Chicago thieves
did to me, II respectable business man
L was too little to sandbag, and the
footpads used to jolly me and say I was
the easiest thing i'll town. Then the pa
pers got to printing pieces about John
Randolph being shaken down again,
with pictures supposed to be funny, but
couldn't see the joke.
"This winter was the worst of all. L
could stand being robbed two or three
times II week, but when they got to
shaking the coin out of my clothes every
night, and sometimes twice of an even
ing, L left town. l intended to go into
business here, but they won't let me
wear Il tray, and if l carried basket
the people would be stepping i'll it. But
I've got Il new scheme. Sec my hair and
hat: Well, I've got some buckskin
breeches with fringe on them and re-
volver, and I'm going to strike the dime

NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Feb. 1j.-The week opened
with considerable depression at the stock
exchange, the result of the receipt of lower
quotations from London and advice that
u panicky condition prevailed on the
vienna bourse in consequence of the
Turko Grecian troubles. The foreigners
had selling orders in this market for the
international stocks, and altogether the
bears had II fine opportunity to hammer
the market. This they did with vigor
and success, dislodging stocks held by the
spectators. The circumstances consitl-
cred, the effect was by no means start.
ing. a few of the specialtics which have
limited market at the hest. yielded
somewhat, but in the general list the
losses were II point or less, and the furry
was soon over.
Among the important declines were
Colorado Fuel and Iron. 9 1-2 Leather
preferred, l Ia; Tennessee Coal and Iron,
l l-2, and American Spirits preferred,
I'D per cent. That there was free sell
ing of the Changers, Louisville and Nash
vile and the Industrials for the short ac-
count was plainly indicated during the
afternoon, when on advices thaG the uni
ted powers had decided to intervene in
the Turko-Grecian troubles, the market
TOOK sudden turn for the better, prices
advancing far more rapidly than they
had declined during the day, aud the
shorts found much difficulty in covering
Sugar moved up rs; Leather preferred,
rs; Tobacco, ,; Tennessee Coal, ? 3-S;
Illinois Steel, :, and the balance of the
list Ia to 3-S per cent. There we're two
notable EXCEPTIONS namely: Manhattan
anu Western Union, which were pressed
for sale throughout the day. Manhattan
declined from IS 3D. to Sc 4 on the old
story about IN iSSIIa Df bnnIS
The sale of about 4, 900 shares of the
stock by broker who usually acts for
one of the insilcrs attracted general at
tention. The stock subsequently rallied
to So, but closed vt 81 Ii, IL net loss of
