The movements Of Burlington yesterday
were interesting, if for time rather dis
concerting to those who have predicted a
steady advance of the stock to $50 or 100,
or almost anything else. The opening
was at III L. the high price of Tuesday,
and at no time during the day was this
figure reached again. During the after
noon a heavy selling movement began,
which sent the price down to 13S 3-S.
Later the stock recovered point, and the
close was at 139 Ia or two points off from
the opening There was good buying at
the low point, however, and during the
last hour there was no appearance oil
weakness. The cause of the decline is at
tributed 10 statement made by one of the
directors of the road yesterday afternoon,
after the meeting of the directorate. to the
effect that there was no consideration OF
the refunding scheme at the meeting.
This may be the truth of the matter, or it
may not but the street realizes that the
Burlington people will not continue TO pay
and per cent on their bonds indefinitely,
while other roads are refunding at IL.

advanced fractionally in the early trading

New York Central was very strong yes
terday showing a gain for the day of / 3-S.
Gossip on the Street was TO the effect that
something underlined is to happen that will
be of immense benefit to Central stock
holders The talk of the consolidation of
the Vanderbilt roads has ceased for the
time being. 1t is very evident, however,
that something is in the wind, as this
stock has been stubborn against attacks
for the last week, and has steadily gained.
The strength of Pennsylvania, like that in
Central, was very gratifying to the people,
who realize that the activity and advances
in the standard stocks is one of the best
signs in the present movement.

Central Pacific and Southern Pacific were
both strong yesterday. Central Pacific ad-
vanced over point ard Southern two
points. There is talk of a consolidation of
the two roads. which would be beneficial
to both. Washington is said to be good
buyer OF both stocks. Pacific Mail was in
active. This company has been associated
with these railroads recently on account
of the benefit that they would share in the
passage Of the subsidy bill, but yesterday S
business seemed TO divorce them. The rea-
son apparently is that the railroads would
suffer less by the failure of the bill. which
now seems certain at this session. Never
theless it is not believed that Pacific Mail
will have much of a decline.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Nov. 10,
EDITORS ADVANCE. "
DEAR S1Ps:-Yours of the
9th ult., asking for my opln.
ion in regard to Il system of
primury elections, has been re-
ceved. prefer conventions TO
primary elections, although
neither system is perfect. In
states where the party has an
overwhelming majority. as in
Mississippi and South Carolina,
there is not 50 much objection
to primaries, rs in states where
a division in the party may
give success to opponents.
My experience has led me to
believe that, as rule, primary
elections induce the candidates
to eXpend ali their energies up
on obtaining Il nomination and
then to consider their election
secured. fractional differences
are engeudered which bear
fruit indefinitely. No matter
how vigilance is exercised,
is exercised, men are permitted
to vote at the primary who so
to the polls and vote The op.
posing ticket. The floating
vote is peculiarly available at
Il primary, and I have never
known one to be held, which
did not eventually have Il bad
result. OF course there have
been and always will be com
binations is conventions, but it
can be at least truly said that
their action is open to public
views and criticism. A man
must be very reckless
who participates in Il conven-
ton and then supports the OPP
posing ticket. In order to
perpetrate fraud in a conven-
ton, the whole convention must
be manipulated, while at pri-
mary it is oply necessary to Sc
cure the Judges SO as to control
the result.
have not the slightest per-
sonal reason for expressing
these opinions. I have no canse
to fear the people. for in a
public experience Of nearly
forty years [ have never been
Defeated i'll a POPULAR election.
The only reverse 1 have met
was the state convention of
1876, when / was defeated in
the gubernatorial nomination
by the late Gov. John S. Phelps.
My public career will close with
my present term in the senate,
and I have no Interest toprompt
me except the welfare of the
Democratic party and the sue

Very truly.

NOC ULATION AGAINST TEX
AS FEVER.
Flo many years Texas fever
as been the greatest obstacle
in the way Of shipping northern
pure bred cattle to the south
ern ranges. Heretofore losses
in cattle shipped from the north
by this malady have rarely
been less than 10 per cent, aud
frequently 20 per cent or more
In the nature Of the case south.
ern buyers could not pay salts
factory prices and run tie risk
of loss from Texas fever. TO
grade up their herds. they
would willingly buy all of the
surplus bloOded stock Of the
north every year at good
prices, if by any means the raw
ages of this fever could be re.
duced.
For a number of years DR.. j.
w. Connaway, of the Missouri
EXper iment station. and DR.. M
Francis Of the Texas Expert
men Station, with the help OF
the Missouri Board of Agricui
ture, have been working on this
problem, with the result that Il
successful treatment has been
put into operation. Already
over 400 blooded cattle have
been inoCulated and exposed to
Texas fever on the ranches for
an entire year, with a loss of
less than s per cent. During
this time Il loss Of 65 per cent
has been reported in one lot
sent without incubation to an
adjoining ranch. The climatic
conditions and general treat
ment were similar in the two
cases.
The Missouri Experiment Sta
ton is now inocuIating about
$50 head, representing the
Shorthorn, Hereford, Devon and
Red Polled breeds. These will
be exposed to the fever in the
south next summer for a fur.
ther test of the efficiency Of
this method of minimizing cat
tie against this disease. The
success Of this method has al

increasing the number of blood

Texas cattle men, and will add

The next night, on my way

heard talk of Il Runaway. L

riam came out. MS face as
. white as a ghost =.
For Gods sake, get a doc
tor, Jenks!" he cried.
Il rushed to the nearest drug
store, and, luckily, found one
there. When we got back to
the stage door Merriam was
waiting, and, without Il word
he led us to a sofa in the wings
on which Nellie Moore was ly-
ing. The doctor bent down
over her for minute shook hi
head sand said he was too late
breaks. Then she went to her
dressing room TO get ready and
Merriam sat there drumming
until the half hour was called.
That night there was good
deal Of Misunderstanding. and the
word went around that there
was to be Il weddin' at Christ
mas.
An understudy played Juliet
! that night and Merriam as usu-
al was the Romeo. The audi
ence didn't know the real rea
son for the change. but in the
tomb scene | don't see how they
could help feeling it.
Those of us who saw it from
the wings will never forget it.
The women were in Mysteries
and the stage hands and hymen
were nearly as bad. L don't
know how Merriam ever lived
through it, but this | do know:
He was a different man from that
night. He seemed to lose all
ms ambition and he Withered up
SO, that when | met him at re-
hearsal two years later | hard
" knew him. He was bent
much as you see him now, and
was playing character old men.
Every year he dropped down
further until they wouldn't
trust him with anything better
than bits and servants. Eyes,
sir, that old man has played
Romeo with the best of them"
The story was finished, but
the mandolin still tinkled. The
leading mans face was drawn,
and jerks sat thinking. Per
haps the former was thinking
of his own high tide OF prosper
Ity, and of what the future had
in store for him.
But sympathy and curiosity
are closely allied, and soon the
two men were tiptoeing through
the passageway. They paused
before the old actors room. A
ray of light filtered through the
Il crack in the thin pine door.
Merriam was dressed and made
up for Il comedy servant. His
green livery coat hung on peg
"n the wall. and the red wig
with which he covered his own
white hair lay on the dressing
table before him. There, too.
was the faded portrait of pure
faced girl in the dress of Juliet.
The actor was bent over his
mandolin and the leading man
now caught the tune for the
first time, broken. but recogniz-
able.
