To Suppress Anarchists.

LONDON, Dec. 10-The Rome corre-
Gpondent of the Times says: II have
reason 10 believe that the International
aru-anarchlat conference which has
been in sesslon here for several
weeks has proved success. Great Sc
crecy Is maintained regarding the pro-
ceedlngs and conclusions, but the dele
gates seem satisfied that they have laid
splendid foundation for a Uniform sys-
TEN OF dealing with anarchists. The
conference declines to recognize anarch-
ist Outrages as political crimes.

The stock market to-day moved ir-
regularly and resulted In mixed
changes In prices. The general market
had a good undertone, but was devoid
OF interesting features. Little was done
in the standard stocks and the indus
trials except Sugar, which broke nearly
f6ttr points and rallied fractlonaliY. The
confirmation OF the report that Secre-
tary and Treasurer Searles would retire
owing to ill-health, was used In depres-
slug Sugar. Central Pacific was strong,
In anticipation OF reorganization plan
which was expected to follow any set
Element which the company may make
with the government Southern Pacific,
which would benefit In any favorable
development in Central Pacific, rose
three points. Baltimore & Ohio stocks
were affected favorably by reports that
the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
plan OF reorganization was well received
abroad. Lake Erie & Western was ag-
gresslvelv strong without any new de-
velopmen4s In the property becoming
known. Metropolitan Street Railway
gained three points after having been
comparatively Inactive and weak. The
revival Of talk Of underground rapid
transit was probably the cause Of weak
ness in Manhattan. Prices were well
held until the last hour when there was
break in Atchison and the grangers.
Traders worked for decline on the
theory that such a movement was usual
before the Christmas holidays. Active
bulls professed qualification at the con-
tinuance OF outside interest In the
market which was reflected In the UNI
due prominence of some Of the minor
stocks in the trading. Tennessee Coal &
Iron became strong and moved up two
points and the rest OF the list sympa-
thlZed In this movement fracti0nallV
and the market left of flrm.
Operations In railway and mlscella-
neous securities were attended with the
same aggressive show of strength which
has characterized the dealings for some
time. Business, however, was some

Bouillon a la Vermont.

A new railroad was opened up the
other day in Vermont town, and IN
honor of the event the company enter
tanned some of the prominent residents
of the locality. Bouillon was the first
entree. 1t was served in teacups, as is
said to be the proper style. The first
trustee took it for coffee, called for sugar
and milk and used them, passing them
on to the second trustee, who followed
his example and passed them to the
third, who helped himself and handed
them to the next, who, in turn, MIXED
and sweetened his cup, and passed them
on to the editor, who took the contents
of his cup to be tea and took milk only,
and passed them to the clerk, thence to
the president, and the rest Of the officials,
and then somebody said "soup," and
thereafter nobody thought he cared
much for bouillon anyway, and now If
you ask one of them, 'Do you take
sugar and milk in your bouillon" an
explosion occurs.-Troy Press

Chinese Minister Learns Euchre.

The Chinese minister has learned the
fascinating game of euchre and likes it.
A week or ten days ago he received an
invitation to q progressive euchre party
and didn't know what 1t was. While
he likes to 60 out and see people and do
things and is very eager to learn Amer
lean habits and customs, there are SO
many attempts to impose upon him that
naturally he has to be little cautious,
and never having heard Of progressive
euchre he took friend into his conf
dence and asked for advice. The invita-
ton came from one of the most delight
full homes in Washington, at which Mr..
and Mrs. WI have been several times
entertained. Therefore the friend knew
the place was all right and explained to
the minister the features OF the game.
The latter became much interested, sent
to bookstore for manual and studied
it with the greatest of attention all one
day. Then he turned it over to his SEQ
retaries, Mr.. Chung, Mr.. lung, Mr..
Chow and Mr.. Yang, and made them
learn the game. Each day thereafter
until the date of the party the minister
played for an hour or two with his staff,
so that he became quite proficient and
won the first prize.
He shows the same zeal in everything
he undertakes. He asks as many ques'
lions as Lii Hung Chang, and by the
time he returns to China will not only
be thoroughly Americanized, but will
know all that is worth knowing, and
more, too about the habits and prac-
tices of the foreign devils" in these
parts. Washington Letter in Chicago

air of suspicion paying teller never

"Identifedl'' she said. 'Why,

"I'm sorry" said the teller, "but
the rule is invariable. y
"But," protested the woman, II
really am the Mary l.. Brown named
on the check. You don't doubt that, do
you?"
The teller looked embarrassed.
:'It's only form, madam" he said,
"but we must insist on some identihca-
tion."
A happy thought struck the woman.
Her name was on her handkerchief.
