a Soldier to the Queen.

A Russian military paper not long ago
informed its readers that the life of the
officer in the British army was one of the
utmost ease and luxury; every officer,
even the humblest subaltern, owned his
yacht, his race horses, and his box at the
opera-when quartered, that is to say,
where such luxury could be obtained

ETC., the majority playing cards every
night for enormous stakes. and spending
large sums on presents to actresses and in
other follies
Such description is more picturesque
than accurate, for although in many corps
the cost Of living is high, yet foolish ex-
travagance is the exception rather than
the rule. In Her Majesty's Household
Brigade, for instance, which is the corps
4 elte although the officers are nearly
all wealthy men yet the style of living
does not approach the magnificence with
which it is credited in the imagination of
the foreign Journalist and by the facie
pens of some of the prominent lady novel
lists. Life in the Guards is very pleasant,
according to the British officer who writes
of ''Social Life in the British Army in
Harper's Magazine for September, if the
member is blessed with good private
means; his mornings, and occasionally
the greater part of his day, are taken up
with the drills and routine duties of his
profession, which are no great tax on his
intelligence or on his physique, and his
spare time is devoted to those amusements
common to young men of his class and
education. The Troopers are usually
great race goers, and therefore habitues

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 3.--Londons early
cables to this side reflected fractional ir-
regularity, but in the main foreign prices
responded fully to yesterdays sharp adj
vances. The victory in the Philippines was
construed as favorably abroad as at home,
and American securities sold at a parity
with New York in consequence. AS was to
have been expected, however, the rapid
advance yesterday gave way to a period
of conse rvatism today, profits being taken
| in anticipation Of a moderate reaction.
Some of the largest buyers of stocks
during the weak periods several weeks ago
were noted among the sellers today.
The early selling in st. Paul was especial
ly significant, because of the source from
" hich the orders came. Beyond the belief
in a reaction there is no confidence in
lower prices, and on all sides optimism is
most pronounced.
The course of prices still depends upon
the character OF the war news, bat every
advance must be followed by digestive
pc Rod, during which stocks will GO iuto
strong hands.
The speculative buying yesterday and
early today was rot for strong interests,
except in special instances, and moderate
advances may tempt liberal sales.
The market at bottom is founded upon a
solid basis of merit, and the new buying on
concessions is almost certain to be for the
stronghold account. Every fresh indica-
ton of Spain's downfall will find prompt re-
Election in the stock market.
The war prospect is almost as brilliant as
that of the countrys agricultural and COM
mercial prosperity, and new value is GER
tain to be added to the corporate wealth of
the country. Money is no longer in danger
of becoming scarce to a degree materially
injurious to new undertakings, and even
Should high interest rates become a factor
| they will not prevail for any considerable
| period.
| The bond market has already begun to
show the confidence Of investors in the
| cheaper class of bonds, and especially those
| having speculative value.
The railroads in the northwest section are
hauling freight almost to the extent of
| their capacities, and a prosperous summer
| is certain to be followed by increased or
renewed dividends.
Low-priced stocks, many of them at
| least, coming to the front as possible
earners of 1 or per cent dividends. The
best features of the situation will only be
exploited fully after the war interest apates
and war speculation gives way to COM
pleted action on the Cuba question. The
| largest profits will accrue, however, to
| those who buy with discretion prior to the
general demand which must follow the per-
| manent removal of the Spanish obstacle to
American prosperity.

mentioned. Philadelphia street il located
little beyond Milwaukee street. and fs
