STOCKS SLOW.
Cuban Question Affects Security
Markets of the World.
Wall Street Bulls Manage to Exert sus-
tanning Infuence-situation Reflected
in Money and Bonds.

New York. March 2S-The doubt over
the outcome of the Cuban controversy
between the United States and Spain
was a depressing influence in the local
stock market today as it was in every
market for securities in the world. In
Paris the weakness of Spanish As af-
fected all the other securities by sympa-
thy, and the same influence weakened
the markets in London and Berlin, the
heaviness of American railroad securi-
ties being am additional factor at the
latter two centres.
On the local exchange there was a well
defined bull party whose operations
were attended with more or less success,
thus subtracting very materially from
the sum of the depression. The motive
publicly avowed by this bull party for
its attitude is that prices are lower than
are warranted by intrinsic values and
by the political outlook. But it is doubt
less influenced also by the technical con-
dition of the market which is full of
short contracts waiting to be covered
on the expected slump on decisive de-
velopments in the Cuban situation.
There is temptation for bull clique TO
mark up prices in such market and
force the bears to cover. The success of
the bulls today was only moderate in in
ducing covering, but they did discourage
further short selling and twice rallied
prices from declines, running up to
point or over in many prominent stocks.
The market closed with one OF these
rallies in force, so that net changes are
foy the most part insignificant, and
there is fair sprinkling of gains. Ihe
industrial specialties continued to be the
chief sufferers from depression. Manhat-
tan, Metropolitan street railway ana
Sugar were marked out especially FOR
selling pressure. The railroad list was
pretty well sustained, and the Northern
Pacific stocks and Union Pacific prefer
red showed not little firmness. The re-
sistance to the threatening news deVel-
opments of the day can only be attrlb-
uted to what is regarded by the bull FAC
tion as its oyersold condition. The money
market seems to be waiting on the
Cuban question equally with stocks
Bankers are loath to put out money IN

WORCESTER THEATRE.

The annual appearance of Americas
favorite juvenile actor, E. H.
Sothern. which occurs this eve
ming, will be greeted by
packed house, the advance sale having
been on the phenomenal order. Mr..
Sothern has the added interest this
time of presenting drama by the in
genious and witty Anthony Hope, who
in this piece, "The Adventures of Lady
Ursula" has made his first essay as a
dramatist. The star has become ben
edict since his last visit, and Mrs Soth-
ern, otherwise Virginia Harmed, is
prominent in her husbands support.
Assisting the pair are Royden Erlynne,
Owen Fawcett, Morton Selten, Kate
Pattison Selten, Rebecca v arren and
others.
On Friday and Saturday comes Sow
ing the Wind" one of the most thrilling
dramatic compositions that have been
put forth during the present generation.
Its theme, sex against SEX indicates a
conflict of interest between a spirited
girl born under the cruelest fate, and
the man who is responsible for her be-
ing. Through the chances of fate this
man is the adopted father of the girls
lover, and seeking to defeat the suit be-
cause she is unable to account for her
parentage The final verbal duel be-
tween these two is a magnificent battle,
and always carries the house by storm.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY s. 1898

from disappointment, had been in the hab-
II of purchasing a little gold leaf, and
slipping it secretly into the mess in the
crucible! But the old servant, being call
ed away for a. time. had entrusted his
wife with the money to purchase the gold
leaf. and INSTRUCTED her 10 put 1t in the
crucible, and this woman had used the
money for her own drink, buying Dutch
metal" to pop in the crucible instead!
With the shout of laughter that this dis
covery caused to ring throughout Europe
lin which the deceived chemist had the
sense to heartily john, the ready scientific
attempts at shaking the thirst for gold by
making mixtures in a crucible may be
said to have come to an end until the pres
ent moment
But so recently as 1928 MIR. Kellerman, of
Lilley. a VILLAGE between Luton and Hit
chin, was reputed TO have found the great
secret, and he was visited in the year men
toned by Sir Richard Phillips, who found
him living absolutely secluded locking
himself in a room fun of crucibles. retorts,
jars and various shaped and sized bottles.
with old books piled one on another, and
a sufficient quantity of dust over all to
make the whole like a picture of Teniers.
The alchemist assured his visitor that he
had, indeed, discovered how to make gold
Asked why he did not do some such pub
lie .benefaction, olle answered that it was
ly, with such contempt and neglect, that he
was resolved to do nothing for them, but
to let his secret benefit nobody and die
with him. But on leaving the alchemist the
traveller met man who had been employ
ed for eight years as his assistant, and
he declared that Mr.. Kellerman had never
made any gold; for he was quite sure that
il he had made such q discovery, he could
not have concealed il from his assistants,
while, on the contrary, they had Witnessed
his severe disappointments at the termina-
ton of his most elaborate experiments.
That unfortunate experimenter in his
suspicion of all mankind, his belief that all
were against him. and that he must pro-
tect his life by padlocks and pistols, ex-
hibited certain and well known symptoms
of insanity; and it is likelYathat the same
result was produced indpaliSt other earlier
cases by the fr0tless and Painful search
for gold, the unslaked thirst, and the con-
tlnual mirage that this method of gold
seeking implies.
