DULL MARKET.
Manipulation by Small Profess
sional Traders Was Apparent.
Stock Market Fluctuated Over a Wide
Extreme-A Late Rally Was Feature
Of the Day.

New York, March 1S.-Todays stock
market fluctuated over a wide extreme,
first upwards and then downwards, and
with a later recovery above the early
high point. But it is noticeable that
the days net changes, although mostly
on the side Of gains were not very
large. The extreme dullness was a
feature. This and the character of the
rumors which affected the market, in
dictated the manipulation of small pro-
fessional traders, whose existence de-
ponds upon a movement of prices,
whether up or down.
The late rally was the feature OF the
day and was significant of the nervous
waiting attitude OF the speculative
world. This rally was effected on de-
tailed rumorS as to what had been TAX
ing place at the secret meeting Of the
cabinet in Washington. Compromise
with Spain over Cuba was the burden
of this rumor, accompanied by the in
formation that Spain was perfectly will
ing to grant everything, on the sole con-
dition that her flag remains in Cuba.
The professional short sellers FASTENED
to cover open contracts, on the strength
of this report, and another TO the effect
that a distinguished officer of high
rank in the United States navy had ex-
pressed the opinion that the Maine was
destroyed by an internal explosion due
to an accident.
Business in the furry caused by these
rumors was more active than at any
time during the day, but was not on an
unusually large scale, especially consid-
ering the wide movement of prices.
Neither was the rally well held, the re-
action touching practically all stocks
and amounting to a substantial fraction
in many cases. As for the opening
squirt, it was largely assisted by the
buoyancy of the local traction stocks
based on the reported Offering OF the
rapid transit commission for an extern
sion of the elevated system. Manhattan
more than recovered its dividend on
the first quotation on the strength OF
this. and Metropolitan jumped IA
points. The subsequentmovement down.
wards was equally conspicuous in these
stocks and other speeialties. The heay-
mess and dizziness were without the
slightest interruption after the opening
squirt up to the recovery in the last
hour The relapse in Spanish fours IN
London and Paris was not Teassurins.
Notwithstanding yesterdays slight
hardening in the rates of exchange and
the distinctly easier tone in today 5

amount of $500, 600 was engaged for i'm
port today.

SUBLIME AND THE RIDICULOUS.

A sentimental gentleman, out for an

large number of northern people have been in Anniston during the past week prospecting. A number of them have bought homes here and will make this city their home. Several purchased farms near town and some are still looking around, who expect to buy as soon as they find desirable places.
 The leading lady of the "Wang" opera company, which played here to a crowded house Thursday night, was Miss Laura Denia Shorter, who is we'll known in An- niston, having visited her cousin, Miss Hat tie McKleroy, several times. Miss Shorter has been on the operatic stage for less than year, but with her beauty, vivacious acting and excellent voice, her success was immediate.

For is she not peculiarly American and all our own! "Koroskoe Is called "A Desert Drama,
 and so perfect and vivid and glowing Is the word painting that when we lay the book aside we, too, grasp personal ex- perience of the glare and heat and fatigue of the forced journey and in imagination plainly see '"The camels, some brown and some white, kneeling in a long line, their champing jaws moving rythmieally from side to side, and their gracefully poised heads turning to right and left in minc- ing, self-conscious fashion" Words are full of associations, and when sktllfully combined the associations heighten each other with striking effect. Added to this phrasal power, which Dr. Doyle possesses to a remarkable degree, Is his splendid de- scriptve power That ability which an au- thor possesses in varying degree to make the reader see as he himself saw 1t with the bodily eye or In imagination These two powers are used by Dr. Doyle with pecu- liarly brilliant results in "Korosko' from the fact of the unusual and unfamiliar scenes of his story. No one less talented than he would dare attempt "desert drama There is much of interest that could be spoken of in detail. but that could only detract from a whole that is singularly beautiful and impressive, with a sym metry that is graceful and compelling.

year or so ago A. Conan Doyle paid a visit to this country and delivered some lee- lures. There was a good deal of comment upon it and some said that he must have liked us or he would not have tarried so long, but they also pertinently remarked that he gained nothing in reputation by his visit as he possessed none of the charm, magnetism nor sympathy which keep mans personality before the public." Dr. Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. He was intended for the medical profession and after studying in Germany and thoroughly preparing himself for that profession the love of letters drove him in his early twen- ties to try his fortune in the literary world. He came of line of artists so he inherited from his artistic ancestry a sense of form and color, a faculty of constructiveness and a vivid imagination Then his studiousness and his industry have turned his capacty into abilities. It is said that he read over 200 books preparing to write the White Company" and that Micah Clark and "The Great Shadow" required equal wit and conscience.
 Sherlock Holiness may be said to have made Dr. Doyle's reputation in this country particularly and yet in spite of the good offices of his accomplished friend Sherlock he preferred to be judged by his more se- rious and laborious work as 1t appears in his historic romances. But he found 1t llse- less to protest and though his creator killed him." refusing to be identified with him longer, the great reading public con- sdered him for a long while to be Dr. Doyle's one original character. So hawless are his reasondngs that it Is said by some that a course of "The Adventures of Sher- lock Holmes" would not be bad training in high school class in logic.
 Dr Doyle is, above all things. ambitious and his ideal is historical fiction In his former works he treated various periods of history in different countries, yet his books have heretofore overpowered me by their mass of detail and failed to appreciate them. His latest work which has just been published in book form, ran as @ serial first, though it has been materially enlarged and altered since then, says the author in the preface. If there are others who have not voluntarily paid adequate tribute to A. Conan Doyle, let them forget the space between Sherlock Holmes and "KoroslSo" and again give him of their attention for the Tragedy of the Korosllo" will be grateful surprise.

HOWARD COLLEGE.
Prof. Brand Added to the Faculty Students
 Praise the Age-H Herald News Service.

Prof. Edward Brand, first honor gradu- ate of Kentucky University, has recently been appointed to the chair of higher Math- ematics at Howard College, thus relieving Prof. Roof of several classes, and enabling him to devote more time to psychology and moral philosophy. The students in the civil engineering course, under Prof. Brand, are now receiving practical application of the principles taught.
 A good many of the boys attended the entertainment given by the ladies of the Friday night.
 Great interest is being manifested in re- gard to the Howard gymnasium, which now seems a sure thing. Dr. Hawthorne will lecture at O'Brien's opera house on the night of April Ii, for the benefit of this fund. Many tickets have already been sold. The subject of pr. Hawthornes lecture is "The Worlds Great Orators" which is said to be the best lecture he has ever delivered.
 At a mass meeting of the students sev- eral days ago, it was decided that the Towards would challenge the University for a joint debate to be held in Birmingham in the near future. The university has not yet been heard from.
 Gov. Joseph F. Johnston will deliver the baccalaureate address before the graduat- ing class at Il o'clock a. m., June 8. The president is to be congratulated upon se- curing so able a man as Gov. Johnston.
 The Howard boys are very much inter- ested in the war news, and all speak in the highest terms of the excellent service The Age-Herald has been giving in this line.
