Trolley Types,

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: A young lady apparently of good breeding and position boarded an up- town car few days ago, and took va cant seat in the forward part of the car. In one hand she carried letter and i'm the other Woman-like, a pocketbook.
 The car. had gone but block when it was hailed by woman either in great hurry or under an intense nervous strain, for she waved her magenta par asol wildly at the motorman, while her excited cries of stop! Stop!' could have been heard a block away
 She made straight for the seat occu- pied by the young lady, and in stern voice commanded her to "Please move" Realizing that first come is first served" the lady kept her place, and the other, who was by no means slender, climbed and struggled until she was safely seated Deposting a bag, from which the end of bundle protruded, on the seat beside her, she proceeded to set tie herself. In her lap was large pack age, while under her arm was brown paper parcel half open at one end, thus allowing the feet of the fowl within to be freely seen. The magenta parasol now peacefully furled leaned besitie it's owner, who, when she had regained her breath and the other passengers their composure, turned to her seatmate and asked, "Ain't you a woman?"
 The person addressed made no reply.
 Cause if you are, then you're the most unpolite and insultin' one I ever II, r. it1cr of I11 seat" Still the young lady was silent, but her quiet acceptance of the inevita- ble seemed to add fresh eloquence to the excited one. Why can't you say word?" she asked Seems like you don't have common sense. Didn't have my arms full and you settin there with nothin' to hold at all? Q yes, you're all dre ssed up fine as silk, but you ain't no manners anyhow Who's that letter for? Some fine friend of yours spose We'll if your friends are like you they're pratty queer -"
 Here she was interrupted by the arri- val of that mueh-enduring mortal the conductor. Handing him five pennies, she demanded; Cant you put that woman off this car?'' The conductor, impressed by the humorous side of the question, laughingly said, Couldn't &C., commodate you, ma'am," and returned to the rear platform. "Wel guess can't stand it any longer" announced the aggrieved one, and at the next cor her she picked up parasol bag and bun-. dles climbed once more over her silent neighbor and descended with muttered complaints to. the ground. The silent lady smiled sweetly, shook her trampled skirts and settled herself for the rest of her journey The passengers laughed and the conductor, after ringing the bell, turned to a man near by, we have 'em often," he said, "They're all queer, wo- men are" IT.

l tobacco stocks first checked the ad- vance. The railroads held firm for a | time, but before the day was over bull sh enthusiasm had somewhat expended itself and the closing dealings showed a | rather easy tone. with prices of the rail- roads sharply below the best. A move
 ment in the vanderbilts was by far the
 most conspicuous of the day, and was, of course, based on the reported lease of the Boston and Albany by the New York Central for a term of 999 years The ramifications of the Vanderbilt
 properties are so vast and the possibili- ties of consolidation so important that
 movement in these stocks is always cer tain to have stimulating effect on the whole railroad list.
 But for the same reason the Wander bilt group is very likely to be picked out for manipulation by operators for rise. As the floating supply of these stocks is not large such manipulation is not so
 difficult as it might seem. New York
 Central was at one time to-day up 3
 points, but it lost one point on the fail
 ure of official confirmation or even ad- mission of the correctness of the Boston and Albany report. This, together with the further engagements of gold for ex- port, was the important influence in the reactionary tendency throughout the market. Chicago and Northwestern, St. Paul and Omaha, Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line securities all re- sponded sharply in sympathy with New York Centraps strength. At 138h which New York Central touched to- day, the return on investment at the present dividend rate of per cent. is about 2S per cent, which is nearly the same as on the United States per cent. bonds. This affords a strong contrast to the industrial group of stocks, the majority of which return at least T per cent at present prices and some of them as much as 10 per cent,
 To-day's price of New York Central, of course, had a large speculative ele- ment in it, based on the prospect of fu- ture increase in the dividend rate But superior security in the case of this and other railroads which return per cent. or less on present prices is responsibla for the greater part of the difference in prices as compared with the industrials. The weakness of the New York Traction stocks to-day was due to rumors of ap- preaching labor troubles. Sugar and few other specialties showed early strength, but the industrials, with few exceptions yielded before the close.
 Good reports of current railroad earn- ings, especially in the west and south west, were factors In the strength of railroads. Decreases in operating ex- penses of southwestern railroads was a feature of the May statements received the May income of Atchison being in- creased largely by this means to the ex- tent of over $500,000 St. PauPs May statement, on the other hand, showed the gross increase more than swallowed up by the enlarged operating expenses.
 Railroad bonds were generally firmer but the volume of business continued rather small The total sales par value were $1,894,000,

REVIEW OF YESTERDAYS STOCK
 MARKET

MARKET
 The following by Prince & Whitely was issued late yesterday afternoon:
 The market opened with fair degree of enthusiasm, being influenced by pub- lie reports (foreshadowed in our letter of the 24th insD of the acquisition of the Boston & Albany road by the New York Central, which in turn revived be- lief in consolidation and developments in other directions of the Vanderbilt system, and buoyant market in Lon- don for such American securities as are traded in there. Were it not for dis content on the part of operatives on the local traction properties, who percelY- ing the constant advance in wages of almost all other branches, threaten to strike, we think the early advances would have been maintained through out the list: as it was the traction stocks lost in value and somewhat af- fected the general list in sympathy. We have no doubt, however, that these matters will adjust themselves, and that the underlying strong and favora- ply conditions will assert themselves as far as values are concerned. Exports or more SOlu Dy lO-nOfTOW SledllleI had some bearing on the market, which in the main was with a changed and more cheerful undeTtone. Foreign ex- change was very dull and unchanged for actual rates 1858, 4 and 4S8 It is assumed that part of the gold ship ments now taking place are against in- terest and dividents falling due on July l. F'urooean crop news is unfa- vorable, which tends to insure good prices for our cereals. Wheat opened lower, but there appears large export demand, so heavy receipts at primary points and good crop reports lose their otherwise depressing influence in a measure. Many latent foreign orders are reaching limits and we hear of heavy engagements for Europe. A small upward reaction seems in order. Cotton again was weak early, but there seems more speculation at the present price, which taken into consideration certainly seems low. The stock mar ket closed with a good undertone. When the threatened strike matters, which appear to be the last fetish of the bear clement are settled we look for a better market

BOSTON NOT INCREDULoUs.

In Boston yesterday the reported leas- ing of the Boston and Albany by the Central was not regarded with incredu- 1ity. It seems to be the general opinion in well informed circles that there was something in the wind in the case. Sam uel Hoar, general counsel for the road diemissed an inquirer to-day with the laconic reply: 1T can say nothing what ever upon the subiect,' and even said h reply to another question that he did not know when a meeting of the New York Central would be held this week.

Acquired Early.

Acquired Early.
six Is the age at which would-be
pianists should begin serious work.
says the great teacher Leschetlzky, the
Fiennese master Of music. from whom
Paderewski learned to perfect his art.
When Paderewski went to Leschetizky,
some ten years ago, It was as a concert
performer who bad already achieved
success IN Russia and mastered an ex-
tensive repertOry. Leschetlzky heard
him play Tor awhile and then said:
You have some very bad faults, but
you have talent. You have played too
many things and nothing well enough.
Your wrist is hard and stif. II you
come to me you must forget for six
months that you have a repertory; you
must play nothing but exercises for
technique, six hours a day for exer-
cises, and nothing else"
The verdict was a serious one and
Paderewski gave It a serious consider
alton, ending by determining to be
come the renowned Leschetizky's pu-
pill. All day long for six months this
finished concert performer worked
away at the mechanics Of piano play
ing. at exercises specially devised for
him by Lesehetizky, and some devised
by himself with reference to peculiarl-
ties OF his own hands. Every evening
be was given a lesson at the professor S
house as a mark Of special favor, for
with ordinary pupils all lessons ended
at In the afternoon, and one lesson in
two weeks was the best that even the
most proficient might attain.
One hour, two hours, three hours,
these nightly sessions lasted, for Les
chetizky gives no heed to time, once his
serious interest IS aroused. These two
men were together constantly; they
took long walks; they played hard
fought games of billiards, both being
adopts at che game; they talked lnces-
sanity. for Leschetizky has a fluent
| tongue, and what the older man knew
Of the art of making music he gave
freely TO the younger man.
1t is worthy OF record that this store
OF musical knowledge, transmitted
thus from man to man, was a sort OF
sacred heritage handed down from the
great Beethoven, for Leschedzky's
master was Czerny. and Czerny ofter
declared that all he knew about music
he got from Beethoven in a few weeks
of priceless intercourse with that great
est Of all musicians.
Leschetizky accorded this extreme
favor to Paderewski because it pleased
him to do so and for no other reason
The young Pole had no special inhu
enee and very little money, but he had
conspicuous talent and an untiring res
olutiOn to do the work put before him
he would have succeeded in any
thing" remarked Leschetizky, 'iI
