NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the LEADING Stocks.

New York. April 4.-Today's stock mar
ket gave unmistaka BILE evidence of a sub
stantial recruiting of the speculative ele-
ment. The movement was a good deal Of
a mystery both as to its motive and as to
the identity Of operators The days OPP
eratiOns were on far larger scale than
anything in the recent history of the
stock market The dealings in st. Paul
and Union Pacific were wildly reminis-
cent of the days of the boom of last year
If to the dealings in these stocks are
added those in Louisville & Nashville and
in Southern Pacific it will be found that
considerably more than One-third of the
days aggregate transactions are account
ed for. 1t was not until late in the day
that much of the impression was made
upon other portions of the list. Such
stocks as the New York Public Utilities,
New York Central and Pennsylvania were
vance. In the final hour selling to take
profits made heavy inroads upon prices
and reduced all of the principal gains to
fractional limits. The market closed dull
but steady. The narrow movement of
prices, considering the enormous volume
of the dealings in the stocks affected.
pointed to the fact that the movement
was in the nature of an experiment and
a demonstration designed to impart con-
fidence to the general public and to in
wife their participation in the specula-
amongst many OF the specialties recently
advanced. The local money market was
quiet and the forecast of the bank state
Eent made very little impression on tie
stock market. There was an active de-
mand for bonds. Total sales. par value
s5,2S0.00o, United States bonds were all
unchanged on the last call.

An April Morning.

This morning when | woke | heard
The low, sweet chatter of q bird
Beside my window, where so long
I've missed the music of the song
That filled last summer with delight,
And saw sudden, arrowy flight
a flash of blue that scars and sings
a bit of heaven itself on wings.
The bluebird has come back ! cried,
And flung the window open wide.
/ leaned across the messy sill,
And heard the laughing little rill
That comes but once a year, and stays
Through the brief round of April days,
Then. when it's banks with bloom are
bright,
1t seems to vanish in a night.
The old spring gladness filed the air.
breathed it, felt it everywhere.
How blue the sky was, and a tint
OF color that was but a hint
OF green things growing greeted me
Along the willows by the lea.
And / could feel, and almost hear,
The quickened pulses of the year.
A warm south wind that seemed a
draught
OF wine the sweetest ever quaffed
Blew round me, bringing balmy smells
That made me dream of pimpernels,
And arbutus blooms in pinewood hooks,
And gay wake-robins by the brooks,
And | was happy as the bird
Whose heart with springs swift joy was
stirred.

An Ohio Example.

The circumstances under which most

growth have in most cases prevented
that attention to the details of arrange

scape effect which alone can make &
city beautiful and pleasing to the eye
of stranger. Washington is destined
TO be, if it is not already, the most
beautiful capital in the world. We have
many beautiful cities, for that matter,
but too many of our cities, great and
small, have 4 thrown-tOgether appear
ance, with no system to the parks no
grouping of public buildings, no reg
ular arrangement of streets and
avenues. 1t it gratifying to note the
movements on foot to beautify the
cities of the country. One of the most
notable instances recently called to our
attention is that of Cleveland, Ohio.
In Cleveland they are planning the
grouping of their public buildings in Il
manner that will make most beautiful
court Of honor The structures have to
be put up in some way. and while it is
the work should not be done with some
view to the artistic as well as the bust
ness value. 1t happened that when the
government decided to erect new
Federal building there the county need
ed new court house, the city a new
city hall, the chamber of commerce a
new home, and the public library 4 new
building, and Il movement was on foot
for an art gallery and music hall was
nearing Il successful conclusion. The
city, county and government therefore
got together, and now Cleveland is to
have Il group of public buildings that
would be an honor to any city in the
world. AS planned there will be court
of honor SIC feet wide and LOGO feet
long. and this space will be beautifully
parked. At one end of this court will
stand the new Federal building, while
at the other end, overlooking Lake
Erie, will be the court house, and along
the sides will be erected the public
library, the chamber of commerce
building, the city hall, the art gallery
the music hall. and fine school build
ing. Over $1,50O,0oO has been paid for
the land to be used IN carrying out the
plans, and several million dollars will
be used in erecting the buildings, the
estimates for the rostoffice alone call
ing for an expenditure of s4,500,00O.

EaiskIava and GETTYSBURG.

In a recent article in the PHILADELPHIA
Ledger a writer, Capt. Edward Hogan
remarked: 81 was in some hot engage
ments during the Civil War, but none
of them came within measurable dis
lance of Balaklava.'' Now the famous
charge of the Light Brigade" i'm
mortaliZed by Tennyson, was desper-
ate and heroic piece of business, a
spectacular affair, but it is nonsense for
a soldier, however varied or extended
his experience in war, to say that no
engagement of the Civil War came
within measurable distance of it, The
Ledger article brought many Civil War
veterans, from both North and South
into print, and they made the situation
very warm for Capt. Hogan. The most
notable letter was from General Null
holland who called attention to ths fact
that, while the Light Brigade" lost
regiments lost much higher percent
age in single engagements during the
Civil War. In his article written for
the Ledger he says that the greatest
loss on record in single engagements in
European wars was under so per cent.
but sixty-three regiments in the Union
army alone lost over SO per cent. and
more than 12G regiments lost over 36 per
cent" Several Maine regiments were
among them.
In this article General Mulholland de-
votes his attention chiefly to the battle
of Gettysburg. 1t is a thrilling story,
marked by the most wonderful exhibit
ton of courage, tenacity and splendid
self-sacrifice. The First Minnesota
regiment rushed into the jaws of death.
and lost 50 per cent. in the charge. The
steady courage displayed by the Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, New York, New
England and other troops has never
been "excelled or equaled' on any field,
and in the percentage of loses the rec
ord was made in that battle. The school
boy of today, as General Mulholland
says, is likely to be referred to other
lands and other ages for examples of
heroism, while the true story of iettys-
burgs battle. in WHICH thousands now
living took part, is the record of heroic
courage and devotion to country, which
every American should be familiar
with.
