eminent I'd deprecate any iilea that
they dnslred rupture with the United
States on their own Initiative. or that
they sought 10 irritatc the United

clearly defined In n sharp recovery In
the price OF Spanish shares, both In
London and In Paris. Americans wcsc
almost much steadler In the foreign eS-
change. but there was nothing In the
carly quotations from there to give n
opening here. The market was quite
nggresslvely strong during the whole OF
the earlier part OF the dag, but II Ia
questionable whether this was due to
any large amount OF buying for fiew ac-
counts. That the short interest was
largely Increased yesterday wns easily
TO be seen and shrewd professional ma
nipulators were able &c discern this
morning that the market was In an ov-
ersold condition. The better outlook In
the relations between Spain and the
United Suites made tho shorts nervous
and there was something OF scramble
to cover at the opening. The manlpula-
tlon for the rise was designed 10 I'M
cover bear margins and the keen de-
maDd at the advance proved the ma
noeuvre to have been successful. It did
not require a very large advance to
invite further liquidation, and the last
hour saw prices fall almost to last
nights point. Covering by beiated
shorts caused n slight stiffenins again

a number OF dividend announcements
and the statement that no bond issue

situation.

For Tennessee's Welfare.

The campaign for the industrial de-
velopment of Tennessee is being
pushed vigorously. Mr.. Herman JUST,
who was so efficient as the head of the
bureau of publicity and promotion of
the Nashville Exposition, is one of the
active campaigners. In an address at
Memphis he pointed out that Eastern
enterprises that are coming South are
poinp to the Carolinas, Georgia and AL
abama. instead of Tennessee, and said:
"These manufacturing enterprises are
seeking other fields for establishment
because the laws of the Eastern States
are of a menacing character to them,
and naturally enough they win not
come to this State, which has laws sim
liar to those from the bad effects of
which they are seeking to escape"
The tax laws of Tennessee, in Mr..
Justi's opinion, seem to offer the chief
objections because they are so fire.
uuently changed, and consequently in
duce conflicting constructions, The
movement in the State, which ought to
be successful, is not to secure eXemp-
lions, but merely to insure equality In
assessments.
The men who are working to that end
are inspired soly by an earest desire
for the Advancement of all the interests
of A great State The should be en-
! courared by the united sentiment of all
! classes, for in the healthy development
| of all Tennessee's resources are the
greater comfort and prosperity of every
! Tennessean. -Manufacturer's Record.

A Horse Story.

Austin Coppinger as everyone knows
is an inverate hunter and no one under
stands better than he how to trap the
willy coon or circumvent the timid tur-
key. But as a practical joker he can't
be beat. Recently he was out riding
with a gentleman from another State,
and had several hounds along. The
dogs were trotting merrily along ahead
of Austin's Buchephalus, when sudden
ly they stopped aud pointed to the cor
ner of the fence, where good fat coon
was reposing. Austin's horse stopped
at once and looked at the object as was
natural. The stranger, however, was
more interested in the horse than the
than the coon, and exclaimed What
makes him stand so stiff? | never saw
"a horse look so straight and hard at any
object before. What makes him do it?"
Austin at once saw a chance for a Joke
and replied without winking, IT'S
pointer! Points jest like dog. See
his uOse-how sharp it is?"
The stranger at once pulled out his
purse and paid for tho horse on the
spot, rrmarking as he did so that he
was gong to have that pointer horse,
or burst his bank account
A little while later they were cross
ing stream, and the water being high,
the stranger lifted his heels we'll up on
the horses TANKS to keep his feet from
getting wet No sooner did the horse
feel the pressure of them there than he
stopped in precisely the same attitude
as before. Quoth the stranger, See,
he's pointing again! There must be
some game nearby" and be scanned the
woods along the bank of the stream for
glimpse of an animal,
Thereupon Austin calmly remarked
81 forgot to tell you that he will point
at fish, also, and there S fish in the
water near you" The stranger was
charmed.
The whole secret was that Austin had
taught the horse to stop when be press.
ed his flank, and the horse, being long
narrow-headed concern, il looked just
like be had been pointing.

An Ecclesiastical Fad.

The ecclesiastical fad is the latest 1t 10
the newest Of the new; newer than the
bangle. than the Cuban flag; newer than the
pique ascot ties. The fashionable, the un-
fashion able and the would be fashionable are
affecting 10. Il finds outward expression in
the rosary.
Even IL ones religion does not demand its
use, the rosary gives touch OF sentiment
of fervor, of undercurrent TO the apartment
or to the attire. Watch the Fifth avenue pa
rade Sundays aud you can see rosaries OF all
kinds and descriptions-some historical, some
beautiful, some from far Rome bearing the
papal blessing TO find resting place smid
fashions frivolities: some uupretending.
There is the rosary Of plain beads secured for
q song. There ic the rosary of carved beads
of rosewood or sandal, with its pungent
odor. There nre beautiful rosaries Of gold
and silver, with the Tiny pendent crucifxrs
and polished heads Of graduated sizes, which
can be bought for SIS or s2O
In the jewelel rosary ono has an unlimited
range OF choice. For $500 you can have one
made Of opsls, the stones selected and cut TO
size.
Or for $40 or $50 you can have one OF blue
enamel, Of yellow and white iopazes. Of car
bupclea
Look at the den Of the bachelor maid or
the mere conventional room OF her fashion
able sister, you will find rosary somewhere
dangling from bracket knob, overhapg ging q
carved crucifx in n shrine, or, perhaps,
tucked away in jewel casket, to be drag
eed out only on religious holidays or in the
Lenten season. II thore 10 a latent charm
against sickness and iii luck in insnimatc
things surelv the rosary should stand at the
head OF The list.
The ros lry IL divided into groups OF beads,

can rosary contains fifteen OF these decades
and the lesser rosary or chBplct three diyis-
tons Of fivo decades each. IN Herald.
