Financial.

New York, March 16.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says
 Business was narorw and dull today and prices were weak on reports of fric- ton at Pekin between the British and Russian troops. All stocks were infiu- enced by this.
 Even the American department felt the effect of it, and was weak in sympathy with our stocks and closed down an aver age of 3s of a point below parity. Illi- nois Central was an exception, closing up 31a points, or 1k point above parity.
 Tintos fell off 1b points on the weak position of copper. Money was just a shade easier today though call and loan rates were unchanged. Discounts were 31a per cent. Silver was steady.

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL,

There is always compensation. Our
angels go out that our archangels may
come in.
Unhappy is the man for whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers venerable.
1t is poor wit who lives by borrow
ing the words, decisions, mein, inven-
lions and actions of others.
What an absurd thing it is to pass
over the valuable partA OF a man, and
dx our attentions on his infirmtties.
Virtue will catch as we'll as vice BY
contact; and the public stock of hon.
est, manly principle will daily accumu-
late.
A greater value should be set on
having received instructive and useful
lessons than of possessing great store
OF wealth: for the latter is transitory
good, the former is durable.
There is scarcely generalization
for one sex which does not apply equal
" to the other, so perfectly alike IN
nature are men and women. The dit.
eerence ia only In circumstances.

A MILE A MINUTE.
high Speed by q Trolley Car In Phila-
halv1hio.

aISh Speed by Trolley Car in Phila-
delphia.
In whatever other respects Phlladel-
?hia may be slow she has a trolley car
which sweeps through the city in the
gray hours of dawn and which, taken
day by day, is swifter than anything
Else of its kind or class in the world,
says the New York Sun. 1t starts from
the heart of the city just after the
newspapers are out Of press and tears
away through the silent streets in a
northerly and westerly direction, up
and down hill and along valleys, with
occasional stops to throw out bundles
until twenty-seven minutes later 1t
tests on the northern summit of Chest
nut hill, fourteen and three-quarter
miles away. This is at the average
rate Of thirty-fiye miles an hour, in
GLIDING at least one stop every three
tourths Of mile. Sometimes on its
route 1t has run a mile in a minute
and an eighth and it has made the dis
lance in twenty-five minutes, includ-
Ing the stops, which is just the sched
ule time of the steam express trains for
practically the same distance between
the same places, though on neither the
Reading nor the Pennsylvania rail-
ways do the trains make any stops.
Sometimes, as on market day, there
are Interruptions, when sleepy teams
get on the lines of metals, and occa-
sionally another trolley car gets be-
hind time and doesn't give it the right
of way promptly. but despite the occa-
sional delays, for two yeas, in all
conditions of weather, facing rain or
snow, with mechanical incidents ad-
verse to it's career, it has mails on an
average thirty-five trips out of thirty
five on time and only once has it bee1
longer than forty-five minutes in COW
ering the distance. On that occasion
the wreck Of hay wagon was on the
road and for this the Eagle Flight
trolley was not responsible. From the
fact that this car carries the morning
newspapers for distribution it might
be thought to be journalistic enter
prise in Philadelphia, but this is not
the case. 1t Is an experiment by IT,
Union Traction company to test the
Of high speed and the
avenness Of schedule time under cor
ditions peculiarly favorable for secur-
Ing exact factors for all the problems
It is sought to solve. Every trip is OBJ
served by electrical experts, the induc-
lion is estimated, the power measured,
he state Of the metal, the thermomet-
'1cal and barometrical conditions noted
IS we'll as the humidity and fog at the
Inherent elevations along the line, and
when 1000 trips have been made the
lata thus gathered will be considered
With view Of formulating result to
'e applied in such directions Of econ
my and accelerated speeds as may be
opened up.
