An Anecdote Of Greeley.

A call was once made by q dozen
noted artists of the Academy of De-
sign. in 1870. on Horace Greeley. Mr..
Clarence Cook, then the art critic OF
The Tribune, had been saying things
about the academy exhibition which
caused the venerable chiefs Of that es.
tablishment to boil with Indignation.
One day committee went down to
The Tribune to complain. Mr.. Greeley,
having listened in silence to what these
gentlemen had to say, looked up from
his desk, twinkle in his eye. and
said. with his peculiar nasal falsetto:
Gentlemen. I judge from your re-.
marks that Mr.. Cooks articles are
widely read. They will therefore con-
tinue to be printed in The Tribune.
Good morning."

A shock to Richard.

A Shock to Richard.
Mabel had been waiting for her low
er's return for what seemed to her an
age. Her heart turned to stone as she
thought of him, young, slender, but
braTe to rashness and recklessness,
closeted aaone with her stern father in
the grim old library. The door opened
at last, and he stood before her, q flush
on his cheeks and an expression in his
eye.
Ibid you see papa, RichardT" she
asked with trembling eagerness. He
held her In his arms for a moment
without speaking.
Eyes. dearest" he said at length.
! '.And what did lie say, Richard? Tell
me what he said! He refused you?
Oh, your eyes tell me! He refused; he
win not give me to you? But I will be
II am yours! I do not fear his harsh
ness-we willSfy!"
SBut Richard looked, down into her
pleading face and shook his head slow
ly, like q man in a dream.
''Tell me. then, for I cannot wait!
Was he brutal and cruel to you? What
did he do? What did he say?'
Richard drew long, deep breath. ana
again looked down at the face turned
up to meet his troubled glance. He
sighed and whispered slowly:
= .'He only said. Thank heaven! and

POWER OF EXPLOSIVES.
Gen. CrOZier's Reference to JThOs
Used With 12-inch Army Rifle.

Gen. CrOzier's Reference to Those
Used With 12-inch Army Rifle.
Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance, in for
warding the report of the board which con-
Quoted the recent tests Of the Gathmann
gun, made the following highly compli-
mentary reference to the power and eff
cheney of the explosives used with the
twelve-inch army rife:
''As this test has afforded the first occa-
sion for the demonstration to others than
the officers Of the ordnance department
who have been concerned with their de-
velopment Of the power Of the explosives
used with the new twelve-inch army rifle,
1t appears pertinent to invite attention to
the cardinal points of the achievement
namely, the development of explosives:
Sufficiently insensitive to be fred with
safety from high-power guns with full
charges.
Sufficiently insensitive to Withstand the
shock of impact against heavy armor plate
Sufficiently powerful to produce as great
shattering effect as is desired.
THE development OF a detonating fuse
which Is capable of being fired with safety
from hfgh-power guns with full charges
(which Is sufficiently powerful to cause
the realization Of the full force of the ex-
piosive.
Which, set in action by the impact of
the projectile, produces detOnation after
sufficient delay to insure penetration and
the greatest destructive effect both upon
and behind the plate"

NEW YORK. December 10-OpenIng
prices in today's stock market reflected
fractional gains as the result OF a better
tone In the London market and the rally
In copper. The stock last named was
bought in round amounts by recent sellers
and added "a per cent to yesterdays best
prices.
The report that the company had made
an agreement with the Rio Tinto producers
to limit the output was revived and helped
agreement was said to have been made
some two months ago. and it's Significance
at that time was disregarded.
Traders We're forced to cover today, how
ever, because OF the conclusion that the
reafhrming OF the story by insiders at this
time was an indication that they were WILL
Ing to help a rally. On the advance there We're
signs OF good selling, and the street as a
whole showed little interest In the copper
movement, except as its action influenced
other properties.
Missouri Pacific was bid up rather sharp
ly at one time by the inside factions, and
rumors of an impending advance were nu-
merous. In this connection the strength OF
wabash is significant, since II suggests ac-
uvity looking to an outlet on the eastern
Seaboard for the Missouri Pacific or Gould
system.
The effort Of Wabash to get east OF Pitts
burg is meeting with opposition so far as
properties is concerned. but IL is quite pos
sible that certain Independent surveys now
In progress are being conducted in the in-
tereSt OF this ambitious project
Union Pacific was feature OF the Lon
don market at an advance OF rs OF 1 per
cent. and was rather firm In the local trad
ing in spite Of the fact that St Paul was
under pressure from Chicago nearly all day.
There may be no good reason for coupling
these two properties or comparing their
fluctuations. but the street seems to see
desire for closer Relationship between
them based upon the success OF the North
ern Securities Company.
American Car and Foundry was again
strong under big demand based upon the
prosperity of the company and the better
prospects for an Increased dividend. A
better buying demand for American Smelt-
ing was noted during the day and a revival
of rumors as to dividends on the common
stock accompanied the inquiry.
The Steel and Traction stocks merely re-
nected the changing conditions OF the gen.
eral market and were Inclined to be ir-
regular.
Money again advanced to per cent dur
ing the morning and later came down
under g. but advanced again under an
increased demand. There are numerous
evidences of shifting of loans, and high
money is regarded as an accepted fact for
the balance Of the year. The course OF the
against the banks. and the rate for call
loans is purposely advanced every time the
market becomes active.
As matter Of fact. the banks are not In
position to finance a bull market and are
not encouraging any big demand. Liqufda-
tion is In progress. and lower prices seem
certain toward the end OF the year.

At the conclusion Of the cabinet meet
Ing Attorney General Knox made the fol-

tion OF a circuit judge for the seventh cir
cult, In which the Indiana people have
been SO vitality Interested:
The only thing that made this a difficult
case to decide was the large number of
excellent men to choose from whose names
mad been presented. The senator's gave the
president their views upon the merits of
several whose fitness for the place they
conceded After the most careful consid-
GRAFTON Judge Francis E. Baker seemed
to the President to combine more qualifca-

Will be rendered the place"
Judge Baker Is associate Justice of the
state supreme court of Indiana. He has
been consistently advocated by Senator
Beveridge 1t is said that Senator Fair
banks did not want Judge Baker, but ii
Is presumed that there must have been
some agreement on the selection before
the President reached a decision.
The case has been one of most abb
sorbing interest both here and in Indiana,
and the outcome has been eagerly watched
for. Numerous Interpretation will proba-
bly, be placed on the selection.
National Committeeman New of Indiana,
who was at the White House this after
noon, said that his understanding of the
Indiana judgeship case was that the two
senators had submitted to the President q
number of names from which to choose;
that Judge Bakers was among them, and
that he was selected by the President him
self.

PERPETUAL INJUNCTION

Question Involving Practice, Concern
ting Landlord and Tenant.
Justice Bradley Of the Supreme Court of
the District Of Columbia yesterday signed
a decree making perpetual the Injunction
issued some time ago in the case of Charles
H. Nicely against Oliver P. Johnson, Charles
Curtin and Charles II. Parker. Several in
terestings questions were raised in the case,
and 1t Is stated thatsthe ruling of the court
will change In some particulars the practice
relating to the service of landlord and ten
ant writs issued by Justices of the peace. It
appears that the defendant Parker entered
suit before the defendant Johnson against
Nicely for the possession Of certain property.
The summons was issued to the defendant
Curtin, who is constable, and he left It
with some one on the premises which were
claimed In the suit. No personal service
was made upon Nicely.
On the return day Of the suit Neely ap-
peared before the Justice of the peace and
contended that he had not been served with
process according to law and objected to the
justice proceeding further In the matter.
The justice of the peace overruled the plea
to his jurisdiction and entered q Judgment
in favor Of Parker. NeeIy then prepared to
apply to the Supreme Court of the District
for a writ of certiorari, but was informed
on the day he intended filing his petition
for the writ that the justice OF the neace
mad already Issued an execution In the ca se
He then filed bill In equity and secured a
temporary Injunction against the justice Of
the peace, the constable and the plaintiff.
In his bin Neely alleged that he had never
been served Bersoifaiy with the summons
in the case;ssAnd that he could have been
served If TyheH conlstabae6 had ATTEMPTED TO
serve him? a4ae Also alleged that the execu-
tion in the oase Had been issued on the sixth
day, exclusive of Sunday, after the entry
Of the judgment against him, which he
claimed was one dAyabefore it could be le-
gally issusd. " In his tanswer Justice john
son set up that the thine Of the issue Of the
execution was In accordance with the prac-
tice Of the justices Of the peace Of the Dis
trict in such Eases.
It appears that the only point of difference
between the parties was as to which would
pay the costs of the, Justices court
In disposing Of The case Judge Bradley
held that the Judgment entered by Justice
johnson was void because of the defective
service Of the summons. In constituting the
statute under which the original suit was
brought he held that It Is necessary to serve
the defendant personally where such service
can be had, and also that, whether or not a
substitutional service Is used, the manner
of serving the summons must appear In the
constables return.
Francis Carroll Mattingly appeared for
the complainant, L. Cabell Williamson for
Justice Johnson and B. F. Leighton for the
defendants Curtin and Parker.
