STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York March 30.-There was a few
erish tone in the stock market through
out todays two hours session and vio-
lent manipulation was in evidence from
time to time TO check a reactionary ten
dency. Heavy realizing was manifest in
the opening dealings, especially in Bur
lingtou Northern Pacific and the United
States Steel stocks. These stocks main
tanned their recent prominence in the
trading, so that their downward course
had q correspondingly large effect on
the general market. Burlington was bid
up suddenly to IL over last night about
midway of the session, touching a rec
ord price of 1862. but it quickly fell back
under the food OF realizing offerings and
closed with only a fractional net gain.
There was a violent rise at lie same time
in the local traction stocks. Lake Erie
and Western and -ennessee Coal Real
ling had already affected these advices
before the appearance Of the bank state
ment. The bears sold the market on the
large inroad made upon the surplus re-
serves of the banks and caused declines
running to a point in some cases. Sup
porting orders We're met, and the rally
was made effective by sudden and vio-
over last night of ga points Atchison
was marked up 1% at the same time. A
revival of old rumors of a combination
between the two systems accompanied
the advance Rock Island fell back
sharply on realizing, and the closing of
the market was feverish and irregular,
with profit taking in force at some points
in the list The United States Steel
stocks did not hucuate more than a
fraction. but the dealings in them were
very large. There were wide advances in
number of high grade and equally in
active stocks. including Lackawanna,
Morris and Essex, Pullman and Colorado
Fuel preferred running from 81 to 10
points the latter figure for Colorado Fuel
preferred. The decline in the cash re-
serves Of the bank was less than had
been estimated but the loan expansion of
S61loSoo made additional reserve require
ments and 50 encroached upon the sur
plus.
Closcing prices Of stocks were as fol-
lows.

 Trial.

The case of the state against Allen Clyburn, a negro, who is charged with cutting timber on lands owned by the Bluff City Lumber company. was call. ed in the circuit court this morning. but was later postponed owing to the illness of the defendant The prose. cution tried to prove that Clyburn was not sick, notwithstanding rep. utable physician had testified in court that the man was not in a proper con. dition to attend court. but it failed as the report to the effect that the negro was in the city last Saturday in good health was based on hearsay only. Judge Grace said he would not post pone case unless he had good req sons for doing so and he believed that Clyburn, who was out on bond. was not able to appear and properly de- fend himself against the charge.

HIGHER CLASS OF BEGGING.
College Presidents Advising Million aires as to the Best tSes for
 Their Money.

"l have always avoided what the world calls begging. l often tell people that have never begged any money and that l am not sbeggar, ? writes Mr. Booker F. Washington in that interesting chapter of his auto biography which describes how hun dreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for the school at Tuske- gee, Ala. When it is remembered that famous college presidents ara said to groan under the necessity which makes them virtual =beggars for their colleges, these words of the head of Tuskegee ring with re freshing boldness and originality. He feels that the work of soliciting con tributions for q worthy cause re quires quality of tact and sincerity that raise it to the dignity ot tho finer professions and he has no apol- ogy to offer for his calling. The scholar and philanthropist. charles Loring Brace, had the same feeling. He gave recklessly of his time. often spending every evening of the week in delivering sermons and addresses, the object of which was to raise money for the Chidren'S Aid sotiely. and of this eXhausting work l." said: No public duties of mine were ever more agreeable than these"
 The theory of these two men was that such an appeal for money as either of theirs is primarily an ap- peal 10 reason; that those who have been exceptionally favored with this worlds goods will welcome the chance to give when they are assured that their money will do good. and when they know the character and intentions Of those who a,e to have it's spending. The rich are likely to develop q one-sidcd genius that of aequiSiti ion. says the New York Post. Skillful disbursement requires an equal genius, and here the practical philanthropiSt can and should help the rich man. meeting him not as a suppilant. but as an equal. The facts show that the man of business talent appreciates the different talent of the philanthropist and welcomes his aid. We in Boston are constantly indebted to you for doing onr work said a business man who had just made a large contribution to Tuske- gee. and Mr. Washington gives il as the result of his experience that "more and more rich people are coming to regard men and women who apply 10 them for worthy ob- .ieets, not as beg2ars, but as agents for doing their work" From this point of view the collector for good causes becomes virtually a bearer of light and aid to those who need them.

Hard-Headed Scotch at It,

A great majority of the Free Church of Scotland is in favor of the proposed union with the United Presbyterians, and next summer should see the two great denominations joined together. Only the presbyteries of Skye, Loch- carron and Bingwall have voted against the proposal. Nevertheless all is not peace within the borders of the disruptonists The malcontents are chiefly highlanders, and their blood is literally afire at the suggested sale of their dearly bought birthright. They have sent round the fiery cross and anti-uniGn meetings are taking place every other night. Advocates of the union are just as strong-headed on their side, and they attend the gather ings to answer the misstatements" at once With both sides in a passion, reasonable argument is impossible, and the Philstine is vastly enjoying the scenes which of course are faith fully reported.
