Webster's Fine Distinction.
(New York Tribune.)

NEW York Tribune.)
Daniel Webster said NJ H. Gilman of
Boston yesterday at the Murray Hill
hotel. ''as all the world knows, had a
Senchant for looking on wine when it
giowed rosy red. AT one time he was driv-
ing TO Cambridge from Boston. He was
billed to make a speech at the home OF
Harvard, and his companion in the old
fashioned gig was a member of the recep-
ton committee and a resident of the
town On the way TO Cambridge Mr.
Webster turned to his fellow traveller
with an inquiry whether there was not
some place in the neighborhOod where
they could obtain a drink. If you will
DIVE a short distance out of the way
to my house, was the courteous response,
l TANK l can promise you as good a
drink OF Jamaica rum as you ever tast-
ed. To the house the twain accordingly
Journeyed, and once there, the host, true
TO MS promise, set before the statesman
decanter of extremely fine rum. The
great Massachusetts senator poured out
trimming beaker and quaffed ii Off
without wincing. His host tentatively
pushed toward him the water jug, but
Senator Webster, after cycling 1t mo-
ment said: Thank you, no; L wanted a
drink, but 1 am not thirsty He then
went on to Cambridge and delivered one
OF his mastery efforts"

The bride fell into the trap. She ac-

SHORT STORIES.
White Man Had Free Smoke.

kSnlCdSO
An amusing scene took place in front
Of McVickers theatre one day last week
Standing within the portico of the build
ing was a negro of a distinctly classic
cast OF features. Dressed in a New
market coat, which evidently was lust
out of the hands of a tailor, light gray
trousers, and tan shoes, whose polish
was immaculate, he could not but attract
attention
As several passers-by stopped to look
at him he took a cigar from his aocket
and pensively lighted it. As the smoke
drltted across the sidewalk it carried
with Il an aroma that proclaimed the
Havana to be one of the choicest brands
on the market. The negro smoked il for
moment and then, becoming somewhat
abSent-minded, allowed it TO go out He
did not attempt TO relight it, but threw
IL from h;r2. the cigar landing on the
edge OF the sidewalk.
As II described its parabolic curve
through the air a white man, evidently
an ''out-of- work" saw it, made a rush.
and as it touched the ground picked II
uD- The negro saw the act and the
slightest shadow of an amused smile
passed across his face Slowly and al
most maJeStcally he unbUttoned his coat,
reached down into his right hand vest
pocket, and drew forth a match. Then,
with bow that was perfectly Chester
neIc'an N Its execution, he handed IL TO
the captor of the discarded smoke" say
ing pleasantly: Now, you are ali right,
old man"
The match was presented without the
slightest trace of SUperciliOUsness. 1t was
accepted in the most matter-of-fact man
ner, ana the men parted with the utmost
dignity and DOlitenesS.

POLITICAL SORE THROAT.
Denver PoSt.)

Esculapian disciples sit and disarrange

With their trembling. nervous fingers in
their spasms of despairi
Specialists With wild eyes rolling search
their knowledge tanks in vain
For speeches that will conquer these new
Ills of the campaign
First twas military lockjaw," and the
Hanna papers laughed.
Raked the poor afflicted victim with their
lnk-shOt fore and aft
Now the other side is grinD;ng, has the
laughter flag adoat
Ger most distressing ailment called
political sore throat
The bacteria that cause these dreadful
aggravating ills
Only seek exalted victims up on fame's
eternal hills;
Soar above the common people in their
loftiness of aim,
Thinking nothing worth attention but the
most distinguished game.
With Solicltude the nation now has fixed
its plying eyes
On home far in the Eastland where a
suffering patient lies
Where a man who through the papers
has gained military note
Suffers agonizing torture from political
sore throat!
While this hero bold was standing on an
oratorio height
Hurting down destructive Volleys of his
vocal dynamite,
Came the subtle microbes winging on
their fateful mission bent,
And located in the thoraX of the poor i'm
prudent gent.
DIR. Hanna quick was summoned and
with frown upon his face
Scolded well the careless fellow as he
diagnosed the case,
And commanded him instanter to hang
I'D his khaki coat
And he'd bulletin the ailment as politi-
cal sore throat
What a thrill of disappointment shot like
lightning DER the land
When the papers promulgated this i'm
perial command,
For Republican and Democrat and Bry-

In anticipation waited for the yipness of

They viii yawningly but listen to his
weakest platitudes,
For he dare not reach the frenzy of his
more excited moods:
He must bleat like infant lambkin stead
of butting like a goat
Till his wise physician cures him of poll
teal sore throat
Where the sad sea waves are sobbing on
the shores of Oyster Bay
Sobbing for the suffering patient in a
most pathetic way
Ger his head in silence hanging his
fast whiting laural wreath,
Lies the restless victim gnashing those
distinguished cleaning teeth
His heroic heart is wounded TO the very
inner core,
He is fillC with tribulation, for he wants
to talk some more,
But he cannot t0ot his bugie, cannot
sound another note
While he suffers so acutely from political
sore throat

VIEWS OF HENRY CLEWS.

There is nothing discouraging in the
situation in this country. We are bet
ter off in all respects tAaif saHya other
nation on earth. We have more gold,
greater prosperity, lower rates OF in
terest for money, a higher government
credit and vastly bigger crops for this
years yield than any other country
has. The treasury's exhibit of our
foreign trade for the last fiscal year
should act as an antidote to pessim-
ism, which Is indeed disease, in view
of all this array of favorable condi-
tons. The situation in China is still
so clouded as to defy analysis. In
spite of so-called news from the Chi
nese capital, the opinion generally
prevails that Oriental prejudice and
barbarism have thrown not only policy
but reason to the winds, and invited
stern retribution. The cupidity which
the Chinese officials display in at
tempting TO pacify the ire of the west
ern nations is far from being relished.
Pekin has a population of over
100000 people. 1t is surrounded by a
defensive Chinese wall with gate en-
frances to it. Every drop of water
and every particle of food used has 20
be taken through these gates each
day. which requires the manual labor
of many thousands of people There
are no people more easily bribed than
are the Chinese, which would make it
practically easy for foreigners to send
out communications TO the outside
world, and the face that this has not
been done for nearly a month now is
pretty good evidence that the ministers
and all the foreigners have been mas
sacred
The speculative situation is con-
trolled by conflicting elements. There
is a strong undertone TO the market,
and manipulation succeeded in Hiring
few stocks TO higher level last
week; but neither the public nor in
yestment buying responded to the
stimulus, and the early half of the
week witnessed fresh realizations,
which We're perceptibly stimulated by
Mr. Keene's bearish statements. I'm
der ordinary conditions much Import
ance could be attached to Mr. Keene's
utterances. but we regret that his
present state of health is such that he
may easily be tempted into taking u
duly pessimistic views.
Much, Of course. depends upon the

crop outlook In spite or injuries here
and there the prospects are decidediy
encouraging, not merely because OF
sufficient yields of wheat, corn and
cotton. but because of what is equally
important, the promise of profitable
returns to farmers. The latter are
certainly enjoying a period of pros
perity; so, too, are the industrial
classes, for labor is everywhere well
employed and wages are often higher
than year or two ago. SO long as
these conditions continue, there VIII
be 10 anxiety about the future. Ex-
| cessively high prices for manufactured
products and overproduction resulting
from the rush of orders a year ago
are working out their own cure. That
was q buyers panic. From now on
buyers will be more cautious. and ere
long more normal relations will be es-
tablished between supply and demand I;
if, indeed. the readjustment process is
not already near its completion.
The iron trade, though still unset
tied, is in much better shape than
three or six months ago. and new or
ders ere already coming in with In
creas.ng freedom. The textile trades
are also adjusting themselves to the
new conditions; prices have been re-
duced; production is being curtailed,
and though inferior distributors are
carrying over larger supplies than a
year ago, still the consumptive demand
promises to be large, and this should
give producers another good season.
The fall trade in all lines promises to
h0 lihoPol IN vol, ticTa arf Ntsx-
in results, though not attaining the
overstimulating profits of 1899. The
election has remote yet important
bearing upon the market. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that Mr.. Mckinley will
be chosen for second term, and strong
efforts are likely to be made to lift the
market in anticipation of that event.
Elections, however, usually produce
some unexpected features, and no
doubt certain operators will welcome,
If they cannot manipulate, scares be-
tween now and November.
Money continues easy, but, later on,
as crop and trade demands develop,
higher rates can be anticipated. For
tunately the Treasury will not be a
disturbing element in the money mar
ket, thanks TO Secretary Cages able
administration. Europe may be oblig-
ed to draw upon us for gold if the Chi
nese complications provoke any SER
ious outbreak; but as time goes on and
evidences multiply that the powers are
working tremendously, the prospects OF
serious disturbances diminish. We are
in better position to spare gold than
any other nation and any serious
outflow would be readily checked by
higher interest rates. Very soon grain
and cotton bills will be in better supply
and this will restrain gold shipments.
The foreign trade balance continues to
run heavily in our favor, and this phe-
nomenon can only be explained by the
fact that the United States is lending
large sums abroad and that our secur-

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, July disappointing
cables and large receipts were mainly
responsible for slump which wheat
took to-day, September closing 11sc I'M
der yesterday. oorn closed W and
oats Ac@3se lower. At the end Of the
session hog product was 5@7h to zoe
reduced in price.
Liverpool turned a deaf ear to the
bulge here yesterday and dished out
disappointment to local holders by
closing 1sd lower to 1sd higher. Paris
was also lower at 761sc to 751sc. and
for a time fluctuated between 1878 and
76c, business being Of a quiet order.
Northwest reports varied. Some were
as bullish as they were when the
drouth was on, while others predicted
crops almost double the more gloomy
estimates. An hour before the close
holders became discouraged and be-
gan selling. The outside demand was
very slack and there was no hope to
be drawn from the cash business.
September tumbled down to Use and
closed weak, 11sc lower, at 757Ac. Pri-
mary receipts exceeded last years
$4,000 bushels compared with 100000
DuSltlS. DlHIltdpO1lS anu DuluIn IL
ported PIT cars against 265 last week
and 344 a year ago. Local receipts
numbered 1T cars, 80 Of which graded
contract. Clearances at the seaboard
were equal in wheat and flour to 405,-
600 bushels.
Corn was quiet, but compared with
wheat the marked showed considerable
firmness. Country offerings, although
in some instances freer, were generally
small and the cash demand remained
brisk. Liverpool was a disappoint-
ment, but following the opening the
dip caused by the English easiness was
overcome. Later, however, the pro-
nounced wheat weakness caused a frac-
tional recession from the top. There
was some reselling by shippers who
had good profits on their freights. Re-
ceipts were sol cars. September sold
between 1875 and 383sc, closing Ac I'M
der yesterday at 3S1ac. The weakness
OF wheat was an influence the oats
market could not ignore. Traders sold
ON the weakness OF the big market and
the elevator people unloaded moderate
ly on the expectation of larger arriv-
ais next week Receipts to-day were
III cars. Sales ranged between 22%c
and 221ac, closing Nose under yes
terday at 221sc.
Provisions were quiet and easy. The
market opened firm because hag re-
eeipts here and from the west were
light and because the market at the
yards showed an advance. Hogs later
eased off, traders in hog receipts sold
moderately and packers did very little
buying, all of which cost the market
its early bulge and more too. Septem-
her pork sold between 1900 and ITS
and closed zoe lower at S11 rs; Sep
TENDER lard between Sc 1906 rs,
closing 5Q71ac down at Sc Is, and Sep
TENDER ribs between 81 05 and S. 95
with the close 712c reduced at S. 50.
Estimated receipts yesterday: Wheat
252 cars; corn 253 cars.

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The market
for dry goods retains its slightly
firmer tone though no radical increase
in business is reported. The reduction
in bleached cottons has helped to make
an increased yardage, while in Brown
goods are slightly better, some makers
having practically withdrawn from the
market. The curtailment at Fall River
has been a bullish factor which is
likely to be of increasing importance.
The opening Of light weight wooden
on Monday is awaited with interest
by the trade.
