WORTHY OF DAVID HARUM.
A Trade in Horsehesh Made by a
Memphis Man.
From the Memphis Commercial }

David Harum was a good horse tra5er
but q recent transaction In ho-sefesh
which vas made by a well-known Mem
phian shows that there are others who
know how TO get the long end of a horse
trade Several weeks ago this Memphis
man saw a fine buggy horse which he
thought he wanted He located the oxner
and asked the price "ona fifty" was the
reply After looking the animal over close
Iy and trying her speed, he concluded it
vas good trade. and without more ado
wrote a check for the amount. The next
day he found that the mare was as blind as
a bat but this did not hinder her speed
nor detract from her general appearance.
He drove the animal for several weeks and
succeeded in attracting the admiration Of
another lover of horsefesh. who made q
proposal to purchase.
Well said the Memphian. Il save one
fifty for her, but / will let you have her
for one sixty-five.
The prospective owner looked the animal
over and concluded he had bargain. He
paid over the money and took the mare
When the animal was unharnsssed. tie
first thing she did was to run sgainst a
post, and then by way of emphasizing the
fact that she was blind, fell over a barrel
The next day she buyer came back TO the
Memphian with blood in his eye.
Colonel you know that mare you sold
me-" he begin. well. she's stone blind. -
II know It." replied the colonel, with an
easy air.
You didn't say anything to me abou;
,, it," said the purchaser his face re5dening
with anger q
We'll, I'll tell you. replied the co onei
that fellow who sold her to me didn't tell
me about 1t, and Il Just concluded that he
didn't want 1t known"

To the Sick.
IndisputabIe Facts.

Disease. fermentation and decay are caused
by microbes and germ life; when these or
ganic pests are destroyed there can be no
sickness
@ntiseptics are 50 called because they destroy
microbes; surgeons always use antiseptics in
performing dangerous operations
Carbolic acid is a common antiseptic, but is
poisonous if taken into the system strong
enough 10 destroy the germs of disease
RadaIn's Microbe Killer, composed of GASES,
is an antiseptic, perfectly harmless 10 the
human body, but doubly powerful in destroy
lng disease if faithfully applied. Physicians
frequently use Merobe Killer in treating Can
GERS, and recommend it for Catarrh, Tubercu-
losIs. etc; others know it to be Invaluable In
Bright,s Disease and Bladder Troubles
Fermentation of food in the stomach causes
Dyspepsia, Sourness, ETC.; Radam's Microbe
Killer destroys the CAUSE and sweetens the
stomach
IMPOVERISHED blood is the home OF germ
life; when pure ft IS the fount2in OF life, the
source OF all health and vigor-
Radam's Microbe Killer is the only rationai
remedy for all diseases; its antlsepuc power
eradicates every disease from the human BODY
These facts are incontroveTfiole.a and we IN,

STATUS OF THE FAILURE
Price. MeCormick & Co s Assignee
Tides Over a Difficulty.
An Agreement with the BANKS in
Behalf Of the Customers of the Sus-
pended Firm-Forced Liquidation
to- Be Avoided-A Sensational Re-
port From Rome Discredited.

NEW YORK. May 26-Theodore H.
Price. senior member of the firm of Price,
Mccormick & Co.. reached his office at
1890 o'clock this morning His attention
was called to a despatch from Rome, pur-
porting to quote George Crocker as saying
that in his opinion. the failure was caused
by private speculations in cotton by a mem
Der OF the firm unknown 10 the other
partners and contrary to the rules OF the
firm which forbade speculation. Mr.. Price
said: 80
Il have read the Telegram. but I doubt
its authenticity. have seh;a cable mes
sage 10 Mr. Crocker TO K.thdraw such a
statement II be ever made ii, although ]
do not believe that he ever made the
statement"
A great deal Of interest was taken today
in the means by which the loans on call
made to the f-m of Price. Mccormick &
Co.. would be Iiquidated. 1t was under
stood that the banks had notified the failed
firm Of their intention 10 demand settla-
ment.
Much relief was expressed. however. al
the information given this morning thai
the assignee had arrived al an agreement
with the banks by which all the customers
OF the failed firm. whose stocks are by
pothecated may obtain the same from the
banks by paying the latter the present
market price for the securities. Should IN,
present price be higher than il was at the
time OF purchase. the difference VIII pG
paid over to the assignee, who will pay ts
the actual holder OF the stock the differ
ence in case the present price Is lower.
Through this method il was thought tha'
a great deal OF forced liquidation would
be avoided and the whole process Of wind
ing up the firms affairs expedited To
days StocF Market showed that there wa.
very little enforced liquidation. and II wal
understood that many OF the firms E.rgei
customers had availed themselves o: ,u'
device set. forth.

Wall Street today furnished sn exceed
ingly dull and uninteresting article of sport
for the bettors, not TO be compared with
the Brooklyn handicap which attracted
much attention among them. Business
ceased altogether al times and the entire
transaction of the two hours session were
very small even compared with many 9th
er dull sessions recently. No security at
tracted more than momentary attention.
and there was little deserving Of comment
anywhere. Sugar recovered part of the loss
OF yesterday closing with a small net gain.
The grangers, the Pacifics, the steel stocks,
and as matter OF fact practically the en-
tire list made fractional gains. but none
OF them were of such a character as TO
inspire much enthusiasm. At the end OF
the week il may be said that tie expected
has occurred The professionals have done
nearly all the business of the week and
fluctuations have not been important The
market has been fairly strong, however, as
every attempt to tumble prices has been
met by people willing 10 buy at or near the

Yesterday 1t was at 33 toward the close.
Today it sold as low as 2s is and closed

in this way has been something Of sur
prise. The professionals have had such
complete control OF the surface fuctua-
