The New York Bond Buyer calls attention
to late and sing risk encountered
IN the sale of municipal bonds which Is
worthy of note. 1t says: We have had &C.
casion heretofore TO express in plain terms
Of Il denuncatory character our opinion Of
postage Stamp" Fake" "Plungers" and
other irresponsible bidders for municipal
bonds. We have since had experience which
warrants q further warning to city officials
as regards class of attorneys whom these
flake" bidders occasionally employ to turn
down" bonds they have bid for in the hope
of selling them to third party before being
called upon to put up the purchase money:
but not being able to sell the bonds, hire a
lawyer to give an opinion which will, the
plungers hope. enable them to recover their
guaranteed checks.
A plunger who has operated under various
firm names in different cities recently
bought an issue of $500, 900 of Omaha per
cent funding bonds at price away above
the ruling market rate. He could not sell
them. Wishing to recover the $4,000 guaran-
tee chek which he had put up he hired re-
porter of one of the yellow journals of this
city who had also set up as an attorney
and counselor at law. to give an opinion
which would enable him to show in court
that the issue of bonds was illegal and void
and thus compel the city of Omaha to return
the guarantee check.
1t appeared on the cross-exa nina ton of
the reporter-lawyer that he had never be-
fore passed on the question of the legality
of Il municipal bond issue. But he had no
hesitation in giving an opinion to the effect:
First-That the Omaha issue was invalid
because never voted upon by the people,
although the charter of Omaha does not
require such election as an authorization to
fund its warrants; and
Second-That it was not good faith to
bondholders of prior issues to fund addi-
tional floating debts at lower rate of inter-
est than they were paying.
1t appears. therefore that a new danger
IL added to the irresponsible bids of such
plungers. postage stamp and other irrespon-
sible bidders by the employment of ignorant
lawyers.

What Makes a Home

Lady Aberdeen. in a recent address be-
fore the national council of women of Can
ada at Toronto, said:
"What is that indefinable something that
makes a home; that reveals itself in the
books and pictures, in the arrangement of
the rooms, in the prepara ton for guest.
in the tones of the children, in the express
sion of husband and wife? We cannot de-
scribe it, but we recognize it at once when
it is present, and no house can be truly n
home without some measure of it. We do
not need just houses, where we can eat
and sleep healthily but we want homes
full of rest and peace and beauty and re-
freshment.

Bradstreet's Financial Review tomorrow

BraQStreetS FINANCIAL REVIEW LOInOrTOW
will say:
More or less irregularity has been shown
in the movements of this week. The war
news has been less of factor, but while
the tone of speculation has been generally
strong, there has been evidence of reaiiz-
ing in groups of stocks which led the adj
vance, while fresh interests have come
into prominence and displayed strength
The bond markets activity has reflected
the renewed presence of investors. Gov
ernments have declined little In conse-
quence of the passage Of the war revenue
bill by the senate, with bond clause, and
the certainty thus created that the govern
ment would soon bring out a new issue.
On the other hand, the railroad bond list
has been advancing, the scarcity of the
higher priced gilt-edged securities creating
a demand for the second and even third
grade of railroad mortgages. London has
both bought and sold American stocks,
though there still appears to be lack of
public interest in our securities abroad,
and the advances in London quotations for
them for several days are attributed to
purchasing orders from this side. While
the market here has been active. there has
been a falling off in the amount of public
participation, and the efforts of manipula-
tors has been apparent In some Of the
more notable movements, particularly the
decline of Sugar and the advance of various
specialties. The sentiment of the street
continues bullish. The ease of money Is a
supporting factor, and while the delays
hcting news. or absence of any news what
ever, from the scene of hostilties has Geen
calculated to hold back speculation, the
underlying feeling Is one of confidence in
the result, and in the strongly bullish eff
feet of further successes to our arms.

Bradstreet's Report
NEW YORK, June 1O-Bradstreet's to

NEW YORK, June 1-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Accompanying reports of seasonable
quieting down of the spring demand LOT
and movement of merchandise, come proofs
that the spring business of the year 1898,
with a few notable exceptions, has largely
met expectations. Particularly confirming
this latter view of the character are the
heavy totals of bank clearlngs, large rail-
way earnings. heavy exports, total OF fall-
ures we'll down to the normal and excep-
tional steadiness in prices, following the
notable advances registered some time ago
Weak or lower prices for a number OF ce-
reals during the last week, in the face of
heavy export business point to the very
good crop prospects for wehat and other
grains, influencing holders toward parting
with their stock.
Cereal exports are slightly smaller than
last week. but are still far above the total
in the corresponding weeks OF previous
years. Wheat exports this week aggregate
4, ,730, 1852 bushels, against 5,24S,000 bushels
last week, 900 bushels in the week a
year ago, 1922 900 bushels in 1896, and 17Si,-
600 bushels in 1895.
Corn exports for the week are 6,6O5,O0O
bushels last week. 239S,00O bushels in this
week a year ago, 1,636,00O bushels In 1876,
and 655 900 bushels in 1895.
Business failures this week number 22l,
an increase over last week of 43, but COM
pared with total In this week last year
of 254. in 1896 of 244, in 1895 of 1872, and in
1894 of 227.
| Business failures in the Dominion Of
Canada this week number 26, against 21

Cow Peas in ''Orn.
From Practical Farmer.

w. III. Brevoort d Son, Vim
cennes. Ind, say that they are
anxious to try the COW peas in
corn, for manurial purposes and
for feed. They say that the past
dry season the Wmppoorwill
made no vines. They sowed both
in corn and on plowed land. On
neither was there sufficient growth
to pay. Corn on sandy river bot
toms there makes so dense a
shade that crimson clover does
not thrive and they fear the same
is to be the result of the peas.
So far as the peas are concerned,
we do not think this will be the
case. The Whippoorwill peas,
while early and productive of
seed, are not rank growers, and
under the most favorable condi
tions make less vines than many
other sorts. For your purposes
the Black pea will he greatly
better, and may be just what you
need. But we would also try an
experiment with the Wonderful.
This is the greatest grower of all,
but ii is late pea. But we feel
certain that in your part of Indi-
ana YOU can acclimate it so as to
become productive of seed. Plant
u few in rows and cultivate them.
Plant as early as the ground is
warm. If you succeed im ripcn-
ing any seed it will soon accli-
mate itself. Some years ago
when this variety was first sent to
Delaware it made very few ripe
peas. But since it has been cul-
tivated there and grown from
home raised seeds it has become
the standard sort. 1t would be
better for you to get the Della
ware grown seeds and we feel
sure that they can be had from
VIM. Henry Maule, of Philadel-
phia, who has offered this variety
for several years. If you get them
to ripen there is nothing better
among Southern peas.

No Crime to Falsify Age.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
Even In Russia 1t seems, despotism does
not go the length of forcing a woman to
tell her age or of Furnishing her for stating
1t inaecurately. A certain Princess Eu-
galytcheff was recently tried at Moscow
and sentenced to lifelong intarnment in the
province of Olonetz for embezzinE 14o,"Vo
rubles. After the proceeding in court had
come to an end. and after the noble lady
had retired to the country for her some
what prolonged rest from urban gaieties
and temptations, too-careful official dis
covered that among the papers in the case
was the princess certificate of baptism,
and that she had changed the date of it
from 1877 to 1s61 Instantly this grave
crime was brought to the notice of the au-
thorities. and the convicted embeZZler was
summoned to meet the charge of falsify-
ing an official document Then a curious
fact was disclosed and a surprising amount
of light was thrown on Russian society.
The Prince Euga!ytcheff. who was cited
as q witness by the prosecutor, said that
whether his bride was twenty years older
OF younger than her certified age was a
he could say was that he received the sum
of $500 rubies for giving the lady his
name. that immediattl after the marriage
ceremony he procured for her separate
passport, and that since then he has known
nothing more of his wife her private
Affairs. The jury calamity declined to con-
Wet the accused princess on the trivial
rent back to her provincial exile. Princes
evidently come cheap in Russia, and this
is perhaps the most interesting bit OF news

\ Haunted Railroad Car,
From the Paris Reporter.

From the Paris Reporter.
Every one has heard of haunted houses,
but the railroad men know there are haunt
ed cars as well. For instance. on the
Louisville and Nashville there is a caboose
known as 1905 which carries on in the
most supernatural manner. What do you
say to a caboose that suddenly begins to
shake and SILVER like a man with the
ague, and this, too, when it is standing
alone on a track? My informant solemnly
asserted. also. that ''19t,S is subject to at
tacks Of hysteria. 1t jumps up and down
without Tire slightest provocation. He says
it did the most remarkable thing however
One day near Richmond. 1t was standing
on a siding with all brakes set. All at
oEce it started and ran up grade over an
embankMent INTO a field.
