When the Boy Phenomenon, magnet
ic healer, was here, almost two years
ago, some of Aunties friends induced
her to test the treatment of the healer.
The history of Auntie's life was ex-
planned to the Phenomenon and his
manager, and the healer went to her
home and gave her treatment. So well
pleased was Auntie with the result
that she presented the Boy Phenome-

"The Rice Pudding" a comedy in
two acts to be given at Harmonic hall
on Thursday, March IA, at SIS p. M, by
the Young Ladies' Mission circle of
| Center church for Sweet charity's
sake" promises to be one of the most
fashionable events of the season In
the cast may be seen the names of
some of New Ravens younger set,
among them being Miss Carmalt, Miss
Sanderson, Miss Whittlesey, Mr.. Will
son and Mr.. Mckenzie. While the play
is to be strictly amateur affair, yet it
will not be the first time that the
members of this cast have been seen
before the footlights. Perhaps the most
attractive and leading feature is that
the presentation of the play is under
the able management of Miss Blanche
Whittesey. This fact at once makes
it certain that the play will be a great
success.

The Man Who Attempted to victimize
President Hadley.
Alfred Parsons, the man arrested

the man who, representing himself to
be DIR. Sandys, an eminent English
educator, fleeced President Low Of Co

About February l man who repre-
scented himself to be DR. John Edwin
Sandys, of Cambridge university, and
presented a letter purporting to be a
letter of introduction from President
Gilman of Johns Hopkins university,
called upon William H. Beebe, secre-
tary of Columbia university The let
ter purporting to be from President Gill
man, was addressed to either President
Low of Columbia, or to Secretary Beebe.
President Low not being in when the
stranger called Mr.. Beebe took the let
ter. The stranger then requested Mr.
Beebe to cash for him a 5000 check Mr..
Beebe not having the cash at hand and
thinking from the letter that the man
was all right sat down and wrote a let
ter to ex-Postmaster General James,
president of the Lincoln National bank
in New York, requesting him to cash
the check.
The man took the letter and check to
Gen. James and told him that the check
was one for some lectures which he
had delivered at the University of
Pennsylvania. The check was drawn
on the Philadelphia Trust company.
General James relying on the letter
from Mr.. Beebe had the check cashed.
1t was later ascertained that the
check was forged, and President Low
paid over the amount, 5000, to General
James
Yesterday Afternoon Secretary Beebe
came to New Haven with Sergeant
Woolwich, a New York detective and
with Detectives McGrath and DAILY
they went to the Jail There Parsons
was placed in line with seven others,
including Waterman Lewis Chidsey.
and then Mr.. Beebe was taken into the
room where they were and asked if he
could identify any one of them as the
man who had called upon him and pre-
cented the 5000 check. Mr.. Beebe at
once and without any hesitation picked
out Parsons as the man. Parsons re-
fused to say word while Mr.. Beebe |
and the detectives were there.
Parsons will be taken before the city |
court this morning and If he agrees to |
go to New York, where he is wanted |
on the charge of forgery of the 5000 |
check, he will be at once taken to that |
pity otherwise extradition papers will |
be secured.

| New York, March 6.-London advces this

very light. Here we opened quite strong

that at the advance the market met with

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 29-Amalgamated
Copper was again an unsettling influence
in the whole ock market. It's down.
ward course was not very erratic, the
decline being punctuated by only few
points of resistance and by no effective
rally. The resistance was not long
maintained at any time, and the price
was soon allowed to sag again. Near the
end of the day the price, touched rs, an
extreme decline of SIS and closed only
shade better. There was no appear
ance of any attempt to support the stock
market and it was left to it's own
courses. The decentralization in the raw
copper market in London was the i'm
polling cause of the decline. There were
enormous sales there of spot copper and
of futures resulting in a drop in the
price of the former of e per ton, and in
the latter of "a per ton. The stocks of
all copper securities scored violent de-
clines in foreign markets, and the prices
of metals slumped all around in London,
including pig-tin, lead and IRON Ana
conda fell 3 points in sympathy with
Copper. Rumors were very persistent of
a determination on the part of the COM
pany to abandon the attempt to sustain
the price of spot copper, but no official
admission could be secured on the sub
ject. A judicial decision adjudging a di-
rector of the company guilty of contempt
of court for failure to testify in the suit
against the absorption of the Boston and
Montana was possibly a subsidiary cause
Of the weakness. The decentralization of
Amalgamated was without notable effect
in the general market until near the
close. There were a number of strong
points developed due to individual
causes and the market was inclined to
harden all around on the published fore
cast of a favorable bank statement, but
the final drop in the Copper stocks caused
the loss OF the principal part of the
gains and carried prices point or more
below last night for Union Pacific

H. AND B. BEERS. MARKET LETTER

New Orleans, La, Nov 29.-Notwith-
standing Liverpool advices were not en-
couraging our market opened slightly
higher. but declined to s points later
on the bearish weekly movement and
visible supply statement, assisted by the
weakness of spots, closing at a net loss
of to points. The total stock of
American ashore and afloat to Liverpool
is 10000. against 1872, 900 last year, an
excess of 1000, verifying our prediction
made some weeks back that it would ex-
coed the quantity held last year in a
short while, dispelling any fear of man
ipulation in consequence of scarcity of
supply In the early part of the week,
owing to the light interior receipts and
the large relative loss of stocks it was
thought that the amount marketed would
be under last year, but to the surprise
of every one, it showed an increase of
26 900, and the total from September 1st
to date is only $4,000 under last year.
The visible supply of American increased
5000 for the week, against an increase
of 81 900 last year, and the aggregate is
1908, 900 against 1888, 900 last year or an
increase of 1874 900. From the above it
will be seen that the claims of a strong
statistical position are unfounded. AS
Liverpool's stock is $4,000 larger than
last year, the amount in sight is practi-
cally the same, and the visible supply
is $4,000 over the corresponding period
last season, having wiped out a. large
deficiency which existed some few weeks
back, demonstrating that the spinners
are pursuing hand to mouth policy,
confirming the unsatisfactory textile
conditions reported generally. In view
of the present situation, we reterate the
anticipation of the bureaus estimate
being 100000 or under The proba-
bilities are that values might seek a
lower level. AS it's however, operators
will not enter into new engagements
until after the issuance of the report, and
receipts in the meanwhile will continue
to regulate prices. H. & B. BEER.

New York, Nov. 29-Cotton market
opened quiet with prices 1 to points
higher and was steady all the morning
on light general buying led by room
shorts and scattered demand from
Southern commission houses. Fluctua-
tions, however, did not exceed five points.
Cable news cut little figure as an in
fluence revealing an apathetic situation
abroad Some surprise was shown To-
cally in sudden stiffening up of De-
cember contracts; these reached no on
covering and singular absence of offer
ings. This change brought out the fact
that single local house owned at least
$4,000 bales of the total New York stock
of $4,000 bales, certificated cotton, and
was practically master of the situation
at present, so far as December was con-
cerned. In the. early afternoon the
market eased off under rather larger
estimates than expected for tomorrow's
New Orleans and Houston receipts, and
under larger average estimate fthe
crop by Liverpool Cotton Exchange mem
bers than looked for. The insight fig
ures showed a total for the week of
247,S1O bales, against $4,000 last week;
900 two years ago, and 474,000 three
years ago. Some 48 members of the
Augusta exchange estimate the crop at
10,520000 bales. Near the close the
market lost another point or two under
