NATURES PARADISE.
Interesting Features By Rev. A. G

Interesting Features By Rev. A. G.
 Rogers, D. D.
 "In Natures Paradise" was the sub- ject of finely illustrated lecture on southern scenes and life given by the Rev. A. G. Rogers, D. D., in the new Music hall last evening. The name Natures Paradise" describes the re- zion through which the lecturer with clear description took his hearers. About 1.500 people, representatives of the best families of the city, enjoyed the lecture, following with eye and ear its every detail till the close.
 Dr. Rogers is lecturer of ability, possessing both the art of clear, vivid description and oratorical power. He started last evening with his party of 1,500 New Haveners from Washington, delaying there to glance a moment at some of the magnificent government buildings with few timely allusions to national patriotism.
 Following the line of the Southern Railway, the lecturer took his audi ence all interest southward to the famed and beautiful Hand of the sky" reaching Chattanooga when the hour had passed. The glimpse which the audience caught in that fleeting hour of southern life and landscape enchanted old and young alike Scenes of histori- cal fame, the home and the tomb of Washington, Jefferson's Monticello, the site of the first battle of Bull Run re- called to the audience many events of the nations history. There were also the scenes of the rural south, the fine cotton, tobacco and sweet potato fields, the planters mansion and the negro cabin There were shown views of the splendid cotton and iron mills Of the new south which are giving northern manufacturers such a shaking up. Best of all were the pictures of the natural beauties of the region, mountain and valley, the rushing cascade and the quiet running stream ever changing and ever beautiful. Of special interest were the scnes of Mountain Retreat in North Carolina, whose invigorating climate and fine scenery several of our citizens have so much enjoyed.
 Tn the course of the lecture picture of Fitzhugh Lee, consul at Havana, was thrown on the screen and was re- ceived with hearty cheers. A picture of the Maine was also shown and other opportunities for the patriotic senti- ments of the hour given for expression. On closing the audience sang "Ameri- ca" and separated to their homes there to dream of their evenings excursion l to the Land of the Sky"

Discussing the remedy which should be applied to the evils he found, Mr. Thurston said:
 "I counseled silence and moderation from this floor when the passion of the nation seemed at white heat over the destruction of the Maine; but it seems to me that the time for action has now come. Not action in the Maine case I hope and trust that this government will take action on the Cuban situation entirely outside of the Maine case. When the Maine report is received, if it be found that our ship and sailors were blown up by some outside ex- plosion, we will have ample reparation without quibble or delay; and if the

The Stock Market Alternately Feverish
 and Stagnant.
 New York, March 24-The stock and stagnant, closing at the lowest with the losses confined to fractions in the railways but ranging from i to points elsewhere. The local securities, including Metropolitan Street railway, Manhattan and Consolidated Gas and Sugar and the grangers were the feat ures. The Cuban situation was the all important factor to-day as it has been for long time in the markets fluctua- tions. Prices rallied sharply at the opening on the assumption that there would be more delay in dealing with the Cuban question.
 London, after an easier opening, closed better but the sales from that quarter there were largely in excess of yesterdays purchases. The change of attitude of foreign financiers toward American securities was used by the bears to hammer the international shares at frequent intervals. The pressure against St. Paul, New York Central, Louisville and Union Pacific preferred resulted in recessions of over a point as compared with the high prices established in recent trading. The weakness afof Spanish fours did not escape observation as it was coup led with the announcement that the Spanish torpedo flotilla was proceed ing westward. Washington selling em- phasized the local speculators inter- pretation of the activity in the navy department, and the declaration of the senate by a recent observer of the con- dition in Cuba that the horrors there were impossible of exaggeration and called for intervention, was not with out effect. These things taken collec- lively checked the momentary bidding up of prices which followed the sen- ate's determination to adjourn until Monday. Covering of shorts from time to time hardened the markets tone, but this In each instance failed to last. The selling movement in the final hour brought about the lowest level of the day. There was engaged to-day for l import one third of a million in gold. The gold imports would have been | much larger recently, it was said, but | for the purchase here of round amounts of seventy-day bills of ex- | change.
 Government bonds shared in the gen. eral depression of the security mark | cts with quotations for the active is- sues showing losses in bid prices of 4 per cent. except in the fours register l ed of 1907, which lost F per cent. | Following are the closing prices re. ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and Brokers. 46 Broadway, New York,
