From the Chicago Post.
 You have to be very careful for long time," said the doctor.
 "I suppose so,' replied the patient. 'If you expect to entirely recover from this you must obey my instructions implic- itly." "Then I shall ask you to make them very explicit" ,~ The doctor bowed gravely and that far- away look came into his eyes that denotes in a doctor an occasion of great moment when his vast learning is to be brought to bear in serious problem. sa You mustn't smoke,' he said. ii "Great mackerel!' cried the patient. r.

Paine, Murphy 6 Co.'S Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Paine Murphy & Co.,
 Birmingham. Aug. 9.-London shared In our disappointment in the delay in recev ing the reply from Spain and consequently sent lower prices. The opening here was in full sympathy, but after selling frac- tionally lower there was an upward turn under the lead of Chicago Gas and Metro poiitan. We called attention to our late advices regarding these two stocks The strength continued until the adjournment of the cabinet meeting when it was con strued that the non-receipt of Spain's an- swer meant a probable demurrer regarding the conditions and the market showed It's disappointment by realizing weakness This delay threw a pail over the balance of the upward movements and any further delay will be more emphatically demoralized by further realizing. While we are believers in higher prices ultimately, we do not feel like advising purchases at present.. only in specialties, like Tobacco and Gas.

In Wall Street.

The belief was general today that Spain's reply to the United States proposals was of such a character that it might endanger the whole negotiations for peace for it's failure to return straightforward questions to the questions at issue. This belief was effec- tive in depressing securities all over the world The effect was especially marked, inasmuch as values have recently improved sharply on the prospect that peace would soon be declared. Holders of stocks were therefore inclined to take profits in view of the less favorable outlook. Spanish bonds fell both in Paris and in London. It hardly could be said, however of United States bonds, which nevertheless showed some de- presslon. American railroad securities de- cined in London and in Europe and there was selling in New York for foreign &C., count. Offerings here on the decline. New York offerings here on the decline were very large, but there was evident also rmarkabe power of absorption, which held prices, with few exceptions, almost per active periods of the trading. Recent lead CTS suffered quite severely, and in this list are included especially Burlington, St. Paul. Rock Is and Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Sugar and the Rubber stocks Yesterdays proht- taking, followed by today's selling, caused renewed fears among traders that large dealers were selling out. The bears were active, but nervous all day and their coy- ering induced numerous rallies. There were several individuals to stocks which showed sufficient strength to exercise a sustaining influence, among them being Cleveland, C. C. C. & St. L., c. & O., Leather and oeo- ples Cas- the latter rising an extreme 5 points, but reacting the days final proft-taking movement. Prices at once rallied to last nights close and in few cases above, but the bulk of the trading was at a lower level, which seemed to ln- spire confidence and lift the depressions. Dealings in bonds were on considerably reduced scale and prices were more firmly held than in the stock market. Total sales $3,550,O00. -.

Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Go.
 Birmingham, Ala, Aug 9.-The spasmotic strength of last week abroad eliminated Saturday and cables have been showing weakness since, today's cables showing decline of nearly 2d. from yesterday, with the demand poor. This, coupled with more plentiful supply of wheat and antici- pated freer movement, caused considerable selling today in early transactions and wheat sold off nearly cent from the weak opening. In the last hour there was some covering and prices -steaded up, closing at about the opening prices. The market is cratic, sentiment favors selling, but the short interest is again becoming large and will bear watching. Corn was steady and shows considerable strength in place of growing weaker. Provisions are subjected to liquidation. -e

EDGAR Allan Poe.

The bust of Edgar Allen Poe is to be
placed in the .-.rary of the University
OF Virginia, and thus the famous in
st.tution which expelled the. boy does
honor to tAe memory of the man
Poe was wild and reckless while at
the University, but not vicious or
mean. His expulsion was the prime
cause of the harshness with which
his adopted father treated him, and
may be considered the beginning OF
the misfortune which wrecked his
i.fe. Who can estimate the damage
done to the sensitive boy by the Sc
verify which selected him as an ex-
ample to break up the gaming which
had become common? Rules should
bend to exceutional natures, as the
career of Chatterton and Shelley and
Poe admonish receptors.--Florida

MY BANDIT BAND.

When, in the dusk of evening, come to where
Three little faces at the window looking down
at me,
And hear .he shout OF Papa" and the sound
of scampering feet,
And find myself prisoner ere I can beat
retreat;
The robbers seize my parcel and search my
pocket through,
And bear me 10 their castle spite of all that 1
can DO.
There the queen of this banditti gently chides
their boist'rous gee,
And asks how many kisses it Will take to
ransom me.
Oh is there any pleasure in all the busy day
Thats quite as sweet as listening, then, to
what the children say?
Helen thinks hundred kisses are enough to
ransom me,
If I'll change them all for pennies bright as
soon as am free:
While Henry claims that Papa is more val
uable than that
And so the rascal confiscates my oyercoat and
hat:
But tender hearted Josephine makes terms
for my releases
Wen let you co. dear papa, for just one kiss
apiece"
When I've paid my ransom gayly this valiant
rObber band
Escorts me to The table, with guard on
either hand.
There for u b essed hour ! fling nv cares
away,
And grow younger as 1 listen to what the
children say.

Mr.. Van Voorhis Interviewed.

Hon. H. c. VanVoorhis was the first
of the newly elected congressman to
reach Columbus after the battle He
was registered at the Neil yesterday.
Mr.. VanVoorhis is justly proud of the
record made last Thursday, for, so far
as --nown, he is the only Republican
congressman in Ohio to increase his
plurality of two years ago. His dis
trict is composed of Guernsey, Morgan,
Muskingum, Noble and Washington
counties, and he carried every one of
them. His aggregate plurality is
O. votes. Two years ago it was 274S
Last year Governor Bushnell had
2S1S. This was one of the districts
that Chairman Blacker talked of car
rying. In conversation Mr.. Van
Voorhis said that he was more than
pleased with the result, but said that
he lost several hundred votes, or rath-
er his opponent, Mr.. Stanbery, gained
that many from the fact that the mi
hoiity pdltleS udu uO congressional
or county tickets in the field. 1t was
tie rule in his district for the voters
o. lat CLASS to cast a ballot for the
Union Reform state ticket, and then
vote the Democratic congressional
and county ticket. Despite this, how
ever, in his own county the Republi-
cans had elected their entire ticket by
majorities ranging from 200 up. He
was of the opinion that in case the mi
nority parties had state ticket in the
fieI. they should also have congress-
ional and county ticket SO as to give
the voters an oportunity to vote their
real sentiments. The law as to pe-
titions was passed some years ago. 1t
required per cent of the
aggregate vote to petition a ticket on
the Australian ballot, and it was af-
terwards changed to l per cent, as the
first figure was deemed prohlbitory.-

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER ~, 1893

The Italian anarchist who assassi-
mated the Empress of Austria gets i'm
prisonment for life as his dose. He
should have had nlne lives; so that all
of them mighe be taken. Under the
laws of Switzerland, heis to receive the
extreme penalty which is life impris-
onment.
Luccheni admitted that he came to
Geneva in order to kill the Duke of
,rleans: but he added, he arrived too
late.
The prisoner Ten remarked that in
spite of this the Duke of Orleans
would be killed within year. He
also said that if ..e had possessed fifty
francs on the morning of the assassin
alton instead of killing the Empress of
Austria, he would have started for It
ally with the intention of killing King
Humbert He added: 1T does not
matter, however, as another will kill
Humbert shortly"
w ucu lHc lull pCHdlly aio"Cu W
the Swiss law was imposed upon him,
Luccheni laughed and cried loudly
Long live Anarchy" and Death to
the arlstocracy."
Whenever anything was said tend
ing to show that he had attempted to
deny his guilt or to escape its conse-
quences he invariably interrupted op-
emily glorying in the crime, which he
said was premeditated, adding in one
instance, II did my utmost to make
the stroke fatal"
He declared that his motive was
found in human suffering. My doc
trine," he frequently reiterated, "is
that one who does not work should
not be allowed to live"
The jury was absent only twenty
minutes.

An Ohio River Renaissance.

So much as been said lately about
raising sunken ships that 1t reminds
me of very successful operation at
our landing about fifty years ago.
Some time about 1850, perhaps a
year or two sooner or later, Captain
Foos Robinson had but new boat
which had been dropped down to the
landing to get on its engines and fur
niture and ff...ngs. Just then the
Licking got on one of its periodical
tears, and shot ice across the river on
top of the frozen Ohio and stove a
hole in the new boat, sinking her at
the landing.
do not know that they even took
the trouble to sop the hole, probab-
ly not so that the water could run
out where it had run in.
Captain Robinson went up town and
bought several hundred, possibly
thousands, of empty oil and whiskey
barrels, which he bunged up alright
and forced into the hold of the vessel
one after the other until the boat was
fioated, when she was towed up to the
ship yard, docked and repaired.
AS each barrel contained over six
cubic feet of air it would certainly
float half cubic foot of iron, and they
could possibly have packed enough
empty barrels between the decks of
the Maria Teresa to have floated her
in her waterlogged condition just be-
low the surface as vessels loaded with
timber sometimes float for months

Of all the candidates for State Office
at this weeks election, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt was the best known person
ally in Washington; consequently
there has. been more rejoicing over his
election than over that of any other
governor Of the bunch Col. Roosevelt
made many friends and admirers in
Washington while he was Civil ervice
Commissioner, and Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, and his short but
brilliant military career with the
Rough Riders added largely to the
number. In fact, it is common to hear
his political opponents say: We'll,
I'm glad Teddy won" n man is al
ways judged by what he has done, and
by that standard Col Roosevelt will be
sure to make a splendid Governor for
New York.
There are reasons for believing that
President Mckinley favors amending
the civil service rules so that veterans
of the Spanish war shall have the same
footing as veterans Of the Civil war
in all applications for appointment to
Office, and that steps with that end in
view will shortly be taken, although
there has nothing been said officially
on the subject yet.
