SOME STANDARD INFORMATION

The Standard oil magnateS and man.
agement have declared a dividend of
$4,000 600 out of the earnings for the
past year, payable March 18th, and
under the announcement the stock ad-
vanced yesterday from 810@815 on
Wednesday to 81S@S20 yesterday. The
dividends during 1900 aggregated $4S,-
100000, as follows: In April, $40 per
share, in July So per share, and in
October $40 per share, an aggregate
of S2S per share In 1899 the aggre-
gate of dividends was $33 per share, in
1898, $50, in 1897, $685. in 1896, $31, and
for the five preceding years S12 per
share. In 1896 the stock sold at 5000
per share, in 1890 at $512, and now
1913 is offered and $500 asked. There
are those who believe the stock will
go to $1,000 before long time, and
who hold that it would be a good buy
as a dividend producer at that figure.
Mr.. Rockefeller is credited with hold
ing 5112 per cent of the total amount
of the stock, and it can thus be seen
that his net income on a 4S per cent
basis is about $25,000,000, to say moth
ing of the enormous increase in his
wealth for the constantly rising value
of shares. From 200 in 1896, to S1S,
yesterday, is long jump.

Rumored That There IL = Hitch In

PITTSBURG, Pa. February IAN
official Of the National Tube Co. has
received a telegram from President
e. C. Converse, which stated that the
papers for the purchase of stock of
Andrew Carnegie had been signed
but the deal was not closed .nis
Another Pittsburg man, prominent
in steel and financial circles, received
news from d correspondent in New York
to-day which stated positively that the
deal was under way, but had not been
closed, and probably would not be for
about a week. The articles of agree
ment are signed, but nothing further
has been done. This last, it is said,
came direct from Andrew Carnegie
himself, on Tuesday night The sale
will be of the stock, which carries the
control; the bonds will be retained by
Mr.. Carnegie.
None OF the officials 1of the Carnegie
Steel Company could be seen, but word
was sent out from the offices of most
that they knew nothing.
1t was learned to-day that work on
the plans for the tube mill and the
sheet mill, which has been going on
briskly in the engineering department
has been stopped.
On the second session of the Pitts
burg Stock Exchange to-day seven
shares of the stock of the Carnegie
Company sold at par, $1,000 each, or
$1,000. Tuesday three shares were sold
at par. The seller is not known but
the ten shares probably came from the
same source.
Despite whatever may be going on in
New York, the Carnegie Steel Com
pany started work to-day at Duquesne
on the proposed double merchant bar
mill which it planned to erect a year
ago.
NEW YORK, February THE
Evening Post says it was reported to-
day that hitch has been encountered
in satisfying some of the minority in
terests in the Carnegie Company
which threatened delay in closing the
negotiations attending the final con-
summation OF the deal Mr. Frick was
asked whether he was holding out for
the same terms as Carnegie and he re-
fused to answer.

wonderful deaf dumb and blind student,
now in her freshman year at Radcliffe,
has received new and exceptional honors
Miss Keller, in the middle of the term,

able one, and is made only on recommen-
dation of the professor of English on
account of extraordinary progress in
studies.
In the class from which Miss Keller has
just been advanced are about forty stu
dents of normal faculties, and above the
work of all these that of the deaf, dumb
and blind girl has stood pre-eminent.
Few persons in Radcliffe have had the
honor which is given to Miss Keller The

Instructor Copeland characterizes the
work of his blind pupil as showing a won

by which Miss Keller is able to benefit
by the lectures, is thus described by a
fellow pupil:

Gives the House Finance Committee
His Views on Proposed Financial
Legislation.
WASHINGTON, February 7.-Chair-
man Southland, of the House commit
tee on coinage, to-day received from
VIM. j. Bryan the latter's view of the
pending bills before the House making
the standard silver dollar redeemable
in gold. Mr.. Bryan says in part:
THE bill has double purpose. To
convert standard silver dollars into
subsidiary coin, and to make silver
dollars redeemable in gold.
There is no necessity for redemp-
ton. The legal tender law will main
tain the parity between gold coin and
silver dollars so long as both can be
used to an unlimited extent in the
payment of public revenues and private
debts.
LAS soon as the silver dollar is made
redeemable in gold, another endless
chain will be created and the argu-
ments used against the greenbacks and
treasury notes will then be turned
against silver.
''The measure gives the financiers
absolute control over the national debt
They can increase it at any time by
presenting silver dollars for redemption
and compelling an issue of bonds to
replenish the gold reserve. They can
in the same way contract the volume
of money in circulation since money
drawn into the treasury by an issue of
bonds cannot go out again unless it is
used to meet current expenses tand
that is only possible when the expen-
ditures exceed the receipts) or loaned
out to favorite banks.
Second. The conversion of stand
ard silver dollars into subsidry coin is
equivalent to the retirement of silver
as standard money and this is the last
act in the programme instituted some
twenty years ago, and persistently pur-
sued ever Since'

STOLE MARCH ON FRIENDS.

The Queen and Prince Consort stole
a march on their friends when they ar
rived at the railway station with a
ternoon and boarded a special train
waiting there to take them to Loo
Palace. The people waiting in the
streets and about the palace in The
Hague were disappointed to see the
royal escort gallop back alone
The civil ceremony in the palace of
justice was very brief. The bride and
groom, the Queens mother and the
mother of the groom, and six witnesses
inscribed their names upon the official
document. The minister of justice first
asked the mothers, according to the
usual form, if they had any objection
to the marriage, and they answered in
the negative amid general smiling.
In asking the bride and groom if
they were willing faithfully to fulfill
all the duties of the married state, the
minister of justice said:
''The question is most important, not
only to you but to your beloved coun-
try"
The Queen and hger bethrothed an
swered in the affirmative, whereupon
the minister of justice said:
81 now declare you married accord
ing to law, and l wish you all possible
happiness"
Turning to the husband, he said:
For the love of your bride you have
left your land and your people. You
have promised to be a true and faith
full husband. The loyalty of all our
people will be assured to you

RETURN TO THE PALACE.

The rings were then exchanged, after
with a Bible and offered his congratulate
tons. The wedding party, headed by the
bride and groom, then left the church.
The return to the palace was made in
the same order as that observed at the de-
parture for the church, except that Queen
Wilhelmina and her husband rode alone
in the royal coach. The people shouted,
bons. The queen bowed in acknowledge
ment, and even Duke Henry was affected
by the ovation. Arriving at the palace,
the wedding party assembled In the white
room, where the court felicitation" was
held all congratulating the happy couple,
beginning with the members of the family
and ending with the foreign representa-
tives.
Mr.. Stanford Newell, United States min
lister to the Netherlands, congratulated
the bride and groom in behalf of Presi-

A WORD TO THE QUEEN.

Then turning to the Queen, the min

you have seen how all the people,
from the youngest child, have given
you their homage at your coronation
and how they rejoice with you to-day,
praying God that all possible happi-
ness may be your portion. Your hap

BRYAN ON EDWARDS OPPORTUN-
titles.

Mr. Bryan, in the current issue OF
the Commoner, has some potent obser-
yations to make on the career that lies
before King Edward VII, who is now
the supreme ruler of more than $780,
OO0, 900 people. His opportunities are
such as come but to few in a genera
ton and his responsibilities are COM
mensurate with them.
''It is too much to expect" says Mr..
Bryan, "that one man who was born
heir to throne and who was reared
in an atmosphere of royalty will regard
the people as the source of power.
Neither can one who relies upon in
heritance for his own social and official
standing be reasonably asked to disre-
gard the claims of both and distribute
favors according to merit, but there is
much he could do without surrendering
his belief in the monarchical principle
or disturbing the aristocracy.
"He could announce his willingness
to Join Parliament in extending to the
people Of Ireland the rights and priv
ileges now enjoyed by his English sub
jects, and he could express desire for
the termination of the war in South
Africa, in which Englishmen are being
sacrificed and Beers slaughtered in or
der to raise the British flag over few
gold mines.
IF he will devote his time to studying
the needs of the people rather than to the
pleasure and designations of court; if he
will visit the crowded tenement houses
and workshops of the great cities and de-
wise some means for their betterments; If
ne will acquaint himself with the condition
of agricultural labor and use his influence
to keep the farm land from being swal-
lowed up by vast hunting estates; if he
will investigate the monopoliZation of in
dustry and prevent the destruction of the
independent merchant and manufacturer;
If he will see that the laws are enforced
against those who plumber by wholesale,
as we'll as against those who do wrong
on a small scale-if, in other words he
will show that he is anxious to live for
those who, in any emergency, would be
willing to die for him, he will add honor
to the Crown rather than receive dis
tinction from it."
King Edward will go much farther
before he meets with better advice than
this from the great American COM
mOner.
