: he Stock Market Dull.

New York, March 21.--The only fea- ture discernible in to-day's stock mar ket was it's dullness. This dullness was the exact reflection, however, of the doubt and hesitation which prevail in all circles over the next probable de- velopment in the Cuban question. Ap- parently there was a limited volume of sales for short account at the open- ing, which resulted in sharp declines to practically the low point of the day. There were lower prices made in some few stock late in the aimleSs drifting of the market. <
 Business was, however, almost stag nant after the opening until near the close, when there was a sharp rally in prices, apparently due to the rebuy- ing of stocks sold at the opening. There was no spirit or animation in the rally and prices drifted downward again at the close. There was only small vol ume of stocks offering all day, but the demand was almost nothing and the result is that the prices are lower all around, losses reaching point in some of the leading specialties. There is every indication of a large outstanding short interest in the market, but In the presence of the possibilities in the po- itical outlook this interest is very per- sistent in declining to cover. It is the prevailing belief that early develop ments at Washington will include the report of the Maine board of inquiry and a presidents message on that and Cuba.
 This keeps purchasers out of the market. and, on the other hand. the large short interest warns the bears to proceed with caution. The consequence is semi sta gnation, such as was wit messed to-day. Such selling as there was was attributed to Washington &C., count, and there was some selling also by large individual operators.
 London was a seller, but not to a large extent. The list of stocks and bonds that moved at all was compar- ative short one, the market being very narrow Foreign exchange stiffened slightly to-day and no engagement was announced of gold for import. Dis counts in London and Berlin were re- ported slightly easier. The outlook here favors easier money on account of the gold importations already arriv- ed or on the way. Banks are not yet disposed to make time loans and great caution in the buying of commercial paper is also manifest.
 The bond market was on corre- spending scale of dullness with stocks and prices were lower. Total sales $950,000.
 United States new fours were F per cent. lower and the old fours registered A per cent. lower, while the old fours coupon and twos were F per cent higher bid.

in 300 leagues of the Ladrone islands a severe gale was encountered in which both vessels sprang aleak. The Glou- cester, greatly crippled through the number of men she had lost by disease, could not be kept afloat; in conse- quence, she was abandoned, and her officers and crew transferred to the Centurion, which after many perils came to anchor in the roadstead of Macao on November 12, 1742 Even with the accession of hte survivors of the crews of the Trial and Gloucester, not above 300 officers and men remained alive on the Centurion. After refitting at Macao this vessel proceeded to cruise off Cape Espiritu Santo, where she lay in walt for the Manila galleon on its return voyage from Acapulco. Finally, on the 20th of June, 1743, the long wished-for craft hove in sight. Af- ter brief engagement it surrendered, with at least $1,5O0,000 of treasure. With the prize Anson made sail for Canton, whence, after reftting, he departed for England where he safely arrived @ year later Of the 1,520 officers, sailors and marines that had embarked in the English ships, more than a thousand had perished through disease and the perils of the sea, while of the squadron voyage around the world, which lasted four years.-F'rom the New York Even ing Post.

CoLLEGEMEN AND TEMPERANCE

COLLEGEMEN AND TEMPERANCE.
 The comparative temperance of diff has received much consideration of late and in particular representatives of Yale and Princeton, institutions which have enjoyed special attention, have appeared very willing to believe that the men of those universities were not more bibulous than the sons of mo- license Harvard. It is noted as a fact which, though not at all conclusive, may have some bearing on these com parisons, that the tickets to the annual dinners of the Harvard club in New York cost $6, which sum pays for all the wine that may be drunk; whereas the tickets to the annual Princeton din- ner in New York cost $5, not including wine There can be no great difference between the cost of the food at these two dinners, and the inference seems reasonable that the Harvard graduates at their dinner drink only $1 worth of wine apiece. When we consider the occasion, and that champagne now costs $2.50 or $3 quart, this seems to indicate a very moderate average in- diligence. Whether any hotel-keeper would venture to entertain the Prince ton graduates on the terms the Har- yard men get has not as yet transpired.
 Our neighbor the Voice meets with misadventures in it's campaign against the colleges which would modify a less impasSioned organ. It is lately pro- claimed that Bishop Vincent had de- clared that he would not send a son to Yale; but Bishop Vincent has written to say that the only son he had he did send to Yale, and has no reason to re-

Recollections of George H. Ellsbree
 About 1S46.
 George H. Ellsbree says the tempera- ture a year ago to-day was twenty above zero. In speaking of the remark so many make that the winters are growing warmer MT. Ellsbree said when he was married fifty-two years ago March 20 the frost was out of the ground, the roads were all settled and the weather was about the same as for the past week.
 In referring to the same subject re- gently Principal s. T. Frost said the winters were not growing milder &C., cording to statistics. He said an old man will remember some winter in his early years which was particularly severe one. But if they would take an average winter of fifty years ago and compare 1t with the severe ones of re cent years they would find that the theory of milder winters was not a true one.-Meriden Journal

LIBERTY OR REvENGE2
Woodenleg Might Have Got of Jail
But Preferred to Keep Corl<Ieg In.

Two one-legged men were confined
recently In Jail in little Kentucky
town. One had wooden leg and the
other, who was a greater rascal and had
had more means at his command, wore
cork leg. apparently well-behaved
and quiet, both men got the privilege OF
the prisoners walk which run around
outside of the cells. Beyond this was
the jailor's walk and beyond that was
freedom.
The eork-legged man was really a
desperate character, but sly and Gun
ming. He meditated much on the erelation
OF the jailor's walk to the outside world.
II was OF; "step farther" he face
-tIousiy told his companion, who ad-
mired his humor. In some manner he
became possessed of a file, with which
he converted n case knife into a saw.
With this he succeeded in saving in
two one of the bars of his cell. He
made a confidant If his fellow prisoner,
who expected TO joir him In his es-
cape. The plan was so well concealed
that finally nothing but one iron bar,
which could easily be sawed in two dur

triumph, the hangmau's rope was al
<most dangling before the eyes of the
prisoner. Everyone in the courtroom
craued his neck as O'Brien rose and
faced the jury. All were surprised to
see the calm and confident look which
clothed his face. 1t seemed impossible
that he could have any hope of acquit-
tai or even of saving his clients life.
He paid more attention to the medical
witnesses than he did TO the others and
labored to break down their testi-
mony.
after pretty good argument from
the facts which he had 10 work upon
he drew his address toward close and,
picking up the bottle which contained
the remainder of the drug, held il so
the l. mcn could see II.
Now, ge.itlemen,' said the attorney,
as he paused and significantly looked
at the bottle, Just 10 show you that
this is not the deadly poison which the
witnesses for the state have sad 1t is,
i will drink it and prove that it is harm
less
There wasn't person in the room
whose hair did not stand on end and the
people sat as motionless as if death had
grasped them. O'Brien, confident and
composed, raised the bottle to bis lips,
drained il 10 the bottom, set il on the
table and, as coolly rs if he had been
slipping wine, turned TO the men in
whose hands the life of the prisoner
rested and said:
Gentlemen of the jury, thank YOU
very kindly for the attention which you
have given to my argument
Then, making a graceful bow, he
walked quietly from the room. This
much the jury and audience saw, but
the physician in waiting knew the rest.
BY the use of antidotes, emetics and
slillful use of the stomach-pump. he
had in few minutes removed all the
poison from O'Brien's stomach and
quickly the lawyer came back into the
room. coolly sat down and listened TO
the closing and disiointed remarks of
the prosecuting attorney.
The jury retired. 1t had believed
that the bottle contained poison, but
OBrien had taken il and was not dead.
How could ii be? Anger, malice pre-
pense, deliberate murder, long-plotted
homicide, every element of criminal in
tent vanished at the thought that
Ol'rien was still alive. In five minutes
after they had retired the 1q men re-
turned verdict of not guilty. OBrien

DARING ACT OF A LAWYER.
His Desperate Attempt to Save His
Clients Life.

|
Two old-time Chicago lawyers were
talking the other day about some noted
cases which had been tried in Cook
county and of the attorneys who had
/ shOne at the Chicago bar. The name
and fame of "Billy" OBrien, once one
that ever stood before jury in this
state. came up and then followed a
flood of stories about him.
"O'Brien," said one of the lawyers,
defended in the Cook county criminal
courts, 260 people, and during all his
varied and exciting career never lost a
case. He was one of the quickest men
TO see and take advantage of a point in
favor of his client and when pres sed to
the wall would somehow squirm out
and make what seemed certain convic-
tion point for triumphant acquit-
tai.
''O'Brien once had a client who was
on trial for murder and all the evil
denee had apparently gone 70 show con
clusively that malice and the coolest
of deliberation had prompted the pris,
oner 70 take the life of the victim. He
had administered poison. The elements
of the deadly drug had been taken from
the decedent's stomach, and on being
Gnalyzed were found to be identical
with the remainder of the poison In
the bottle, which was offered in evil
dence and which stood before the eyes
of the jury. The horrid skull and
crossbones glared from the side of the
bottle, which was turned toward the
II men who were soon TO decide whether
the prisoner at the bar was to live or
TO be swung into eternity. The court
room was crowded with an interest
ed throng, which was at n loss to know
what sort of an attempt O'Brien could
possibly make in behalf of his client.
"The states attorney was just about
to close his opening argument and IN
a few moments more the attorney who
had never lost IA case would certainly
meet his Waterloo. But 0'Brien was
not TO give up without struggle. Ne
ccssity inspired him. and he had already,
before the evidence was completed, pre-
pared an outline of the manner In
which he would approach The jury
"O'Brier knew physician, an eX-
pert chemist, whom he could trust, and
This man had examined the poison, and
the attorney knew too well from his lips
that il would kill him. Furthermore.
he knew it was this drug that had
killed the person for whose murder his
client was on trial O'Brien called this
doctor into the seclusion of a private
room and said:
Doctor. this is a desperate case. Tell
me candidIv and TO certainty how
long can live after drinking the re-
mainder of the poison in that bottle?'
"'Why. O'Brien. you couldn't live more
than three minutes.
THE face of the great criminal law
yer lighted up and he saw hope that he
might yet win The case.
"'Three minutes said he, that is
enough
"Then il was finally arranged that
the doctor should be in waiting for the
attorney after the latter had got
through with his argument. He took a
station in an adjoining room, where
O'frien could quickly reach him and
waited with his preparations to coun-
teract the poison. The states attorney
closed his argument with an apparent
