High School Notes.

On Wednesday morning excellent
programmes were given in both of the
assembly rooms. In the senior room
the exercises opened with a well rem
dered piano solo by Irma Watson. She
responded to an encore with another
selection played with smoothness and
excellent expression. Mr.. Eaton then
introduced DR.. Clarence Brown, who
took as his subject King Alfred the
Great He first spoke of the origin
of our nation dating far back before
the time Of the Mayfower compact
and of the debt which our civilization
owes to its Anglo-SaxOn ancestors.
These men, though rude and brutal,
were yet brave. truthful and home
loving. At the time when Alfred came
to the throne the country was overrun
by the Danes, and it was in conquer
ing these fierce warriors that King Al
fred first won military fame Greater,
however, than his achievements in
war, DR.. Brown thought, was his or
ganiZatiOn and advancement of the
institutions Of law, education and re-
ligicn. In closing, the speaker gave
estimates OF King Alfred's character
and emphasized the great influence
which he has exerted, even to the
present day, upon English government
and literature. The close attention
with which the students followed DR..
Browns talk showed their apprecia-
ton of its many interesting and in
structive points. The programme
closed with a vocal solo, charmingly

GRAIN AND Provisions.

Chicago. Dec. 14.-An inclination to
take profits and Saturday dullness
worked against the cold weather bull
factor in grains today and May wheat
closed Ssc down. Wheat had a dull,
steady market, ruling firm early, but
soon losing the gain. Weather conGi-
ons had a good deal to do with The
speculative temperament and the early
cables were something of a help. Re
CENTS were light and May opened a
shade lower to A0Ssc up at S09sc to
80%c, and quickly sold up to SOS 6elc.
Trade was not important and the early
demand from commission houses was
about the only feature. This soon gave
way to profit taking on the bulge, and
the market gradually sagged off to
1850, closing weak sc lower at
1884 079sC
Corn was fairly active and ruled firm
the greater part of the session. The
early demand was largely on the part
of the shorts, but the outside markets
were also fair buyers. The cold
weather brought the early squirt on
the fear that heavy feeding to stock
would be necessary. Profit taking
caused a recession, May closing steady,
&c higher at 6!H @67%c
Oats were moderately active, but
ruled easy after the early bulge. May
closed weak, 46}sc lower at 455ze.
Provisions were dull. but ruled
very firm. The demand was
largely for the local account and was
supplied by packers. Nay pork closed

WILL NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER
Mr. Carnegie Must Convert His Steel
Bonds Into Cash.

Washington, Dec. Alt is said to be
definitely decided that President
Roosevelt viii not accept the offer Of
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie Of SIC, 100000 in
bonds of the United States Steel cor
pOration for the purpose Of founding
an institution for higher education in
this city. The views Of prominent SEN
atorS and representatives as they have
been given to the president are prac-
tically unanimous against the accept
ance of the offer in its present shape.
The provision attached to the offer
that the government shall hold the
bonds for term Of years is considered
especially Objectionable. The president,
however, is very hopeful that an ad-
justment can be made by which Mr..
Carnegie can convert the bonds into
cash or United States bonds and that
the gift can then be accepted in that
shape
