ABOUT MEN OF THE DAY.
Rockefeller and the Surgeon.

Not as many stories of John D. Rock
efeller are told as of men who go about
more in public. But now and then we
get one. Here is the most recent: Years
ago MIR. Rockefeller was a poor clerk in
Cleveland, drawing a salary of $40 a
month. He had an ailment which re-
CURED a simple and harmless surgical
operation. He went to surgeon of high
repute in Cleveland and arranged to pay
SO much month. ne surgeon was will
ing, and it took Rockefeller about a year
to pay the bill of $40 without interest
Not so very long ago Mr.. Rockefeller
sent for the same surgeon, now an old
nan, and entertained him at his larry
Fo..s5t home The magnate wanted an
other consultation regarding the old
complaint, and chose to send for the
surgeon of his youth. They talked it
over. and then Rockefeller asked for
the bill, remarking: st won't keep you
waiting as 1 did years ago Things
have changed since then"
"Oh, I am out of practice; / wish no
Zee, Mr.. Rockefeller. That is all right.
Don't mention it,
Rockefeller opened a drawer at his
deSk. disclosing a few pounds of new
greenbacks. Putting few bills in an en-
velope he handed it to the surgeon say

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
The Leading Bull Interest Not n Fac.
tor In the Trading.

CHICAGO, April 3-There were ten ex-
citing minutes in the grain market at the
opening today. Expectation of the culmi-
nation of a movement against the long
lines held by the Phillips following led
to tremendous pressure from longs who
wished to get from under and from bears.
Philips brokers, to the great surprise of
nearly everybody, were not active. May

pressure. Phillips. credited with holding
about 100000 bushels of long May corn,

Much attention was given yesterday to
the money market outlook. There were
engagements for a million or more gold
for export during the day, and many be-
lieve that the outward movement of the
metal may be heavy during the next few
weeks 1t is an interesting fact, too,
that despite the purchases of bonds by
the Treasury Department the banks have
lost rather hea vily to the Sub-Treasury
during the week or since the last bank
statement. The bank statement. there
fore, is likely to be poor one. and with
the surplus already reduced TO less than
s. 10000 this becomes a matter of con-
siderable moment. The statement will
not appear until Saturday, and the street

One of the curious features of the ses-
sion was the advance of Colorado Fuel
and Iron and the weakness of Tennessee
Coal and Iron, so that the former passed
the latter in price. Fuel and Iron went
as high as ssh ana closed at GI1a. In Feb
ruary of last year Tennessee stock sold
for iOI and Colorado Fuel for 4sIz for
high prices. In 1899 Tennessee Coal sold
for l26 Colorado Fuel has never sold at
its present price before The two COM
panies do much the same class of bust
ness. and their prospects are supposed to
be very similar. The fact that Tennessee
is now selling for less than half the price
Of 1899 shows that that price was a swim
die pure and simple. People buying Col
orado Fuel win DO well to remember this
little bit of mark Il history.

The street is fun of excited interest
over the market likely to be developed to-
day. The holidays extend through Sun
day. three days, and on such occasions
in the past there have beer many people
that wished TO realize. Sometimes there
has been a sharp break IT, prices as a con-
sequence. The violence of the recent adj
vance, the handsome prices that can now
be obtained on almost everything on the
list, and the somewhat uncertain money
conditions make especial reasons why
liquidation should be attractive atthis time.
The result may be a break after a high
opening, On the other hand. If the mar
ket continues cry strong today, the coun-
try generally VIII send immense buying
orders into, the market before Monday
and, perhaps, the insiders may wish To
take advantage OF this to sell as much
stock as possible before they allow the de-
cline. An irregular and exciting market
is likely to be the result. 1t is probable
that there will be more of the sharp adj
vances in unexpected quarters and some
reactions well.

Burlington sold yesterday at 1855, with
an advance of points from the opening.
This price is equal TO something like l95,
considering the fact that the stock is
selling ex-dividend and ex-rights. North
ern Pacific went to only a point below
par The reason of these movements is,
Of course, the faith that the deal between
the two systems has been contaminated.
AS before, there is no confirmation of the
rumors however. 1t seems almost be-
yond belief that n railway man of the
ability of Mr. Hill should contemplate Civ
ing for Burlington stock 81, 900 In bonds
for every 100 shares, but this is the form
that the latest story takes This would
mean that issue OF approximately
500 0O0, 600 in bonds would have to be is
sued for the entire Burlington stock. At the
lowest rate of interest yet seen on rail
way bonds, ~ per cent, TINS would re
quire nearly Ss.60o 600 for interest as a
fixed charge to be earned by the Bur
lington after it has earned its present
fixed charges. In the fiscal year 1900, the
most prosperous III the history of the sys-
TEN up to the present time the surplus,
after the present fixed charges, was less
than $500, 900. If it is proposed to float
bonds bearing only per cent, which is
conceivable, the showing would be some
what better, but even then the bonds
would require an interest disbursement
of 81 100000 a year. The people that are
prices without knowing that there is any
deal. and without knowing the terms if
deal Is completed, are taking a FISK that
is extremely foolhardy.
A few weeks ago the Rock Island di-
rectors met and refused TO Increase the
dividend rate on that stock from ; to &
per cent per annum. Yesterday the stock
advanced to $50, at which price the pur-
chaser for investment win only realize
l-3 per cent on his money. 1t is con-
ceiVable that the dividend rate may be
increased to per cent later in the year
but even then the return for the invest
ment at this price will be only per cent.
Rock Island has been doomed on the story
that this system has made deal with
the Atchison. There have been two or
three official denials Of this story. and In
addition the Atchison securities are weak

of Rock Island at this level Careful peo-

that he had succumbed to the rigors of

CubanS Will Get Cold Comfort

Cuban Constitutional Convention, which
will reach Washington tonight or tomor-

tation of getting changes in the condi-
tions for the withdrawal OF American
authority, they will be shown at once
that they would have better remained at
home.

Is Charged With Stealing
Hides on the Sidewalk

In front OF Justice Wilson'S court this
afternoon large pile OF hides were
strung out upon the street to obstruct
traffic and let everyone know that the
Justice was hearing the famous hide
case. The case is one of considerable
importance, for the reason that cor
ner would soon have been secured up
on hides in case Jose Maria Ugel was
allowed to continue his operations. The
complaint was made by Jim Contreras,
although the real victim seems to have
been NJ. G. Samaniego. Expert testi-
mony was introduced this afternoon in
the person Of George scholefeld, cattle
inspector, who examined the hides. The
hides were left outside the court room
during the trail.
From the evidence presented, it ap-
pears that Ugel had been stealing hides
for long time, and had extended his
operations to include barley and other
stuff which he could dispose of with
profit.
Ugel was held to the grand jury and
Robles. whom he implicated, was dis
charged. The evidence brought out the
remarkable fact that Ugel had stolen
hides from Contreras, stole them from
him at night, and the next day again
sold the same hides to L. Zeckendorf.

The Boys in Blue

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Secretary
Long has prepared and made public a
statement showing the percentage of
Americans among the enlisted men in
the Navy, and 1t is much greater than
most persons had supposed it to be. Du-
ring The Spanish war the total enlisted
force OF the navy was 22,s2s, of whom
10, 406 were native-born and z,422 for
eign born, the percentage Of native born
being 65. Including those who have been
naturalized the total percentage OF Ame-
ricans was 80. 1t was not so many years
ago when it was the fashion in some
quarters to make sneering remarks
about our warships being manned by
foreigners, and 1t was very near the
truth, too. Now, with an American per-
contage of 80, which is steadily increas-
ing, such remarks cannot be made.

at the prospect of the catastrophe likely

and had succeeded in removing all the

even his supporters on the committee

They also say that he recognizes the
necessity of having northern man, at

recognizes the hopelessness of again no.
minating Bryan. He is not converted
to the idea exactly that the nominee of
the next convention should be a gold
democrat, but inclines to the view that
he should be free silver man, but one
who is not regarded as extreme. II is
said that this view is based upon the
belief that such q man would appeal
both to. the free silver men and the
gold men in the party, whereas the no

would unquestionably drive away votes

Social Drunks
Among Women.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. April 24.--"If
there is any one feature OF the drinking
custom which at this time is occasion
for alarm, it is the appalling increase OF
inebriety among women"
The statement was made by Joshua l..
Baily, president OF the National Temper
ance Society of Friends, to large audi
ence of Friends, and caused much eur
prise.
II was told few days since by a
pupil of one of our most fashionable
young ladies' semineries," continued
Mr.. Baily, THAT their principal, in
counseling them to avoid extremes, de.
clared it was as vulgar to be a total
abstainer as it was to drink to excess !;
that one was the indication of weak
character just as much az the other.
What must be expected as the results OF
such tuition, when these young girls
enter society and become members of
the fashionable set?
"Iatemperance among fashionable
women, as have learned from some OF
their own class, is much more observa-
BILE, even in Philadelphia, than it was
some years ago. In New York social
leader, who refused to allow her name
to be used because OF her family connec-
tions and her personal relations to the

women of the highest circles has reached
an alarming state.

Another Flow
Beaumont Keeps Up.

BEAUMONT, Tex, April 24.-The sixth
great oil gusher was brought in this af-
ternoon. 1t is fine we'll and fully as
great producer as any of the others. 1t
is owned by the Haywood Oil Company,
of which Dewey Haywood, young Chi
cago man, is the principal stockholder
and owner. 1t is located 1000 feet south
west from the Beatty well, and 500 feet
from the Lucas. 1t is directly on top of
the little Hill which is supposed to be
the center OF the oil-feld. The company
owns fifteen acres in this tract. The well
is 4 inch, 935 feet deep, and was begun
early in March. 1t was due to come in
yesterday and was therefore expected.
Notwithstanding this the drillers got
the rotary pipe caught and had consi-
derable difficulty getting it out, causing
the loss OF several thousand bar Fels Of
oil,
