A FINANCIAL GENIUS.
Bought Typewriter and Didn't H==s a
Cent TO Pay for 1t.

"Do YOU see that young man over
there?' said a man on cable car, in
Heating young man reading paper
in the seat opposite. He's one Of the
greatest financial genlases in the coun-
try, ii little things are any indication
OF mans ability and character. He'll
be a millionaire before long, or I'm
no judE OF people,
The young mans appearance did
not seem to indicate that there was
ANYTHING out Of the common about
him, and his admirers companion
said 60.
"Well, I'll tell you how came to
discover his genius" said the man
who had spoken first. when tell
you what he did think you'll agree
with me He secured a typewriter
without paying a cent for it and with
out doing stroke OF work for II, and
he did 1t in perfectly honest and
legitimate way, too. In fact, he ac-
tually made money on the transaction.
| only discovered how he did it BY
accident, and I've been wondering at
the genius and simplicity OF the
scheme ever since. He was formerly
employed in the same office with m.
and We both had to DO a good deal OF
writing. One day he came up to me
and proposed that We should hire a
typewriter together.
We can hire typewriter for 81
a month, he said, and if We split it
between us it will only cost - cents
week each. We can do that all right,
because We wouldn't be using it at the
same time, anyway. If You give me
.aB rtft f.f
Of the typewriter mpanies and have
them send down 4 typewriter. Ill
arrange the whole thing so az TO save
you any trouble
II agreed to this, and the young man
went off with the g. Every month /
paid with perfect satisfaction. A bout
a week after the first payment |
learned that my friend was not paying
anything for the typewriter, but was
actually making little on it. He
was hiring il ont to a man who only
used ii occasionally, and whom he
persuaded To pay him ~ cents week
for the use Ot 1t. I thought this was
ratt er clever, but I didn't realize the
full measure Of my friends ability
until gear had expired. Then
learned from a man who had called to
collect a payment On it that be had
agreed 10 buy the typewriter on the. in.
-tallment plan, paying 81 month for
il. The man was calling for the last
monthly payment on it at the time,
aud the typewriter il now the property
0f nv friend II took him year ~
pay 1t off at q a month, and he was
receiving - cents a week for it all
the time. / never took the trouble
10 figure il out. but can see that he
must have been making little on it
while ne vas paying for it."-New

LESSON OF A BROKEN TRUST.

From iar-off Vancouver comes a
warning and lesson to those VINO may
look upon the requirement OF wealth
a. the chief object Of existence. II il
a story Of specu lation, broken trust
and self-destruction. The president and
cashier OF bank in that city, having
wrecked the Institution for which they
were responsible and, driven by fear
and remorse, went 10 a lonely spot and
took their own lives, the one weapon
serving for both. They bad speculated
with the money of,others in their fever
ish haste 70 acquire riches, and their
consciences could suggest no other
way 10 avoid the disgrace Of discovery
than that final resort OF the demented
and the cowardly-self-immolation.
These men considered money Of
greater moment than any other thing
more desirable than reputation, hon
esty, peace Of mind, mental attain
ments. They proved that the easiest
thing in the world 10 get is wealth and
that the hardest is 70 earn it honestly.
Bv their actions while living they said
% every young man: Get money, no
matter how" But By their tragic
death they say: BE honest. and be
content with what honesty brings you,
and you will never be really poor.

Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, March 16-There were a number of very extensive advances scored in this mornings stock market, but the rises were by no means uniform. The conspicuous features of the market were Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Manhat- tan, among the local traction and Bur lington in the Granger group. In the in dustrial quarter of the market, the To- bacco stocks were the conspicuous feat tres, rising further on large transactions, which were again based upon the pros- pective acquisition of the Havana Com mercial Company and of domestic cigar manufacturing concerns. As regards the notable advance in Burlington, nothing further could be said than that the stock was again absorbed in large quantities. apparently by the same parties who have been purchasing the stock for some time past. The noteworthy movement in the local traction issues was not directly ac- counted for through the local traction is- sues was not directly accounted for through any commonly known develop ments. The issues of all the railroad com panies were notably strong. The course of prices in London seemed to be owing to the reported friction between the Brit ish and Russian forces in China, and al- so to the absence of more definitely fla vorabe news from South Africa. New York Central was likewise in good re- quest.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, March 16.-There was not nearly as much steam today in the mar ket for spot cotton as during yesterday, notwithstanding which fact fairly good demand for the staple obtained and the sales for the short hours footed up 16OC bales of spots and 1750 bales to arrive Additionally 1000 bales were tendereed and accepted on contracts. The heavy break in prices at Liverpool had a measurably depressing effect upon the market on this side to the end that factors were unable to obtain previous prices for their hold ings. and such transactions as were re- ported were at figures below yesterdays level. At the noon closing the exchange committee on quotations reported the market quiet.
 The market for contracts was only mod erately active today. There was fairly steady run of trading in the near months. Again conditions were so shaped that the near element had all the best of 1t. Liv- erpool broke badly, partly under the in- fiuence of disquieting news anent the po- litica1 situation in China, but principally as the result of the heavy. movement at interior points on this side and the very bearish visible supply statement, declin- ing 1-16d on spot and 4-64d to 6-64d on con tracts.

COTTON OPENED
 WITH A DECLINE Prices Ruled Downward
 Throughout the Day HE GENERAL TONE WEAK General Speculation Held Aloof, But the Market Was Quite Active at
 Times On a Local Basis.
 The Close Steady.
HE GENERAL TONE WEAK

New York. March 16.-The cotton mar ket opened easy at decline of six to twelve points. The English cables re- ported net loss of 41h96-64d for futures, while the spot market closed at 1-l6d de- cline. Ii was reckoned here that the En- gish weakness justified a decline of eighteen to twenty points in our market, but there was considerable short interest which gave the local situation some sup port. Following the opening the mar ket was regarded as weak, advices from mill districts in New England as well as in the South being of discousaging pur- port with renewed rumors of shutting down of the Fall River mills until the print cloth outlook could be mare more promising. General speculation held aloof but the market was quite active at times on a local basis. The English de cline was attributed to the disturbed po- litical situation and to the increased visi- ble supply.
 The market closed very steady with prices net three to seven points lower.
 New York, March 16.-Cotton quiet; middling, SAC; net receipts. 150; gross re- ceipts, 3034; sales, 100: stock, 7,642; eX- ports, none.

The. desire among all to sell at once caused still further decline the first part of the week and it was moi until after May got down to S.24c We'd nesday that there was any evidence of the break having culminated. It matters not whether the selling was voluntary or forced by banks. The cotton came out and had it's effect and is now In stronger hands. Advices towards the last of the week were that the pressure to sell was over with, and the bulk of weak held cotton has been forced out, with indica- tions of decided falling off in the move- ment very soon. The weakness shown by Liverpool early in the week was also caused by the large offerings from this side

Hobson AIabama's Hero.

From the Anniston Star.
 Despite the jibes of a frivolous press, honors are still heaped upon Hobson of Alabama, and the little kissing episode that once caused some to look with dis favor upon the brave young Alabamian has been forgotten, while his achieve ments stand out with greater prominence as the months pass. A handsome testi- monial of esteem is to be presented to Captain Hobson next week by the people of his own State and of his own town and county. which is pretty good sign that those who know him like him and appreciate the service which he rendered to his country Hobson is all right and there should be more like him in the United States navy.

 The gold mines of this County @ow in operation, while not making fortunes for the operators, are paying fairly we'll The Pruett mines, operated by Terry & SteyH is running all the time, and the ore now taken out is paying about 8 per ton, and they are satisfied, as the cost of mining is only about 50 cents per ton. This mine last year, with a five-stamp mill, paid the operators about 5000 net. Improved ma chinery has been put in since Christmas and the mine will show a decided in crease in gold per ton. without increased cost of mining.

Erratic Legislature.

From the Randolph Leader.
 The late Legislature was undoubtedly cratic. In many respects 1t resembled a drunken man. However, some things it did were sober In striking contrast with the characteristics of the legislat tive body was the calm conservatism of the Chief Executive. On the last day of the ses- sion he vetoed thirteen bills, which rep resented a saving of some $50,0 600 to the State-to say nothing of the moral inter ests conserved Governor Stanford had previously vetoed a number of unwise bills. He is said to have broken all rec ords of the previous Governors in the ex- ercise of the veto power. The people are with him.
