The attention of our readers IS
respectfully called to the new ad-
vertisement OF the Valley Furni-
ture Company on the last page OF
this issue. Mr. Kennedy has had
years of experience in the furni-
ture business and is a competent
Judge OF quality as well as prices.
He quotes few OF the latter IN his
advertisement for your benefit,
which you will perceive are eye
openers.

4 letter received by some OF the
boys at Rocky Ford from Curtis
| Sheldon conveys the news that he
/ is firing on an engine on the d. &
r G. from Salida to Leadville.
| His first experience was that OF
two engines running together, and
| Curtis jumped out OF a cab window
and plowed furrow in the ground
with his nose-the first plowing he
has done since he left Otero county.
The second experience found him
twenty feet under a snowslIde.
His engine went into the slide at
4 O'Clock in the evening and the
next morning at S o'clock they
found themselves pulling out. The
boys at Rocky Ford think he had
better come back and sling type.

Gently worked Uncle Sam for a
stand-of at the local postoffice.
She walked in in very business
like manner and busting up to the
stamp window, all smiles, sweetly
asked for six cents worth of letter
postage. The accommodating dep
uty postmaster graciously complied
with the air of a Chesterfield, and
the lady quickly affixed the little
red likenesses of the father of his
country to her billet doux and was
about to retire, when the dulcet
tones of the d. p. m. smote upon
her ear: "Haven't you forgotten
something, lady?" Dear me,
yes /; but really, left my pocket
book at home on the piano. I'll
have to owe you six until | come
down town again" And she never
came back any more.

to get the fighting editor of this

not worked yet. The fighting edi-
tor is as mild and gentle IA dove,

that fact affords him some protec-
tion. The d. p. m. gave him an
item this week and then told the
male man whom it concerned that
we were cooked and primed for a
beautiful roast. The male man
got down to the TRIBUNE Office be-

Return of a Rebel.

Mr.. Fred. Wundenberg, returned
to the country by the City of Peking
this morning, after prolonged visit
to California. Mr.. Wuudenberg,
who at one time was Postmaster
General of Hawaii, was unjustly
accused OF being mixed up in the
1895 circus, cast into dungeon by
his former friends and eventually
requested to leave the country. The
kamaaina will find Honolulu very
changed since he left-and not for
the better. His sugar stocks are
very much improved however.

The Colonel Resigns.

Colonel j. Fl. Fisher, commanding
the First Regiment, N. G.. H., has
rendered his resignation and has
asked the Commander in chief to be
relieved at once from the position,
which he has held with honor to
himself and to the N. CTS.
Mr.. Fisher does not retire from
his military position on account of
the trouble in Manila. His health
and business interests demand that
he resigns from his important posi-
ton as commander of the Hawaiian
National Guard.
He has no intention of going back
to his old trade in the lather bust
ness. Banking and politics are good
enough for him.
Since childhood almost Mr. Fisher
has been soldier-a trade not
often followed by men of his race
He has served in the militia in Cali
fornia and been member of every
military organization in Honolulu
during the past decade. There il
no longer any use for a military
show here and Mr.. Fisher hangs uf
his sword borrowed from Kala
kauai, his uniform and his title
When the military banker ano
broker returns to town he will b'
hailed by all as a good old fellow

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
KEW YORK, June I4-There was some
pressure to sell stocks during the opening
hour this morning, traders and houses with
western connections leading the decline
London was not a factor and commission
house business WAS only sufficient TO sug-
gest latent strength The larger interests
seem willing to delay aggressive opera
lions, but outside of the professional circle
there is little disposition to sell. The short
interest contributes most 20 every period
of depression, and the incomplete contracts
OF this character may yet be made the basis
of a sharp recovery.
Early in the day Sugar was under press
ure and the usual fear of some tndiscre-
ton on the part of Mr.. Havemeyer in his
replies before the trust investigation was
offered In justification OF the sales In
some weH-informed circles the sugar trade
difficulty is now regarded as a matter OF
very small moment and the conviction is
gaining ground that the price of the stock
is not really concerned with the trade rate
war. After selling the stock down below
las during the forenoon. a spirited demand
from the early sellers was encountered
and a rally of per cent from the low level
resulted. The movement was purely profess
sional however, and the new prices did not
hold.
The industrial list generally was strong
ana weak by turns, on previous DAYS OF
the week, the room moving prices about
TO suit its own whims. The steel stocks
hold only indinerently on the rallies and
the dividends are not offered with the
usual satisfactory results.
In the railroad list there IL no liouida-
ton of significant volume. and there Is un-
abated confidence in the ability of the bet
ter properties to continue present earnings
The recent reports are all encouraging.
but there is sufficient uncertainty as to the
crop situation to promote caution In the
more conservative investment circles. Buy
efs are advised or constrained to withhold
their orders until something more definite
comes into the situation, even though they
pay higher prices for the decreased risk
Nashville is being given excel en4 support
on It's increasing prospects for a dividend,
and IT is expected that the speculative ele-
ment will make the most of this cpmpanyss
first disbursement. The prevailing opinion
is that stocks bought with discrimination
will show handsome profits during the later
summer, but that the upward movement
may be far from uniform
The money market continues easy and
the prospects for significant gold exports
are less alarming. There is almost nothing
in the main situation to warrant depr@s-
sion. excepting always the mistakes of over
capitalization in the new properties
The weakness of Metropolitan Traction
caused a general raid on prices toward the
end OF the day. The expected dividend of
2lz per cent on Minneapolis and st Louis
first preferred was declared during the day.
