Thought She Was a Calf.

When Mime. Schumann- Heink was thirteen. her father was transferred, to Gratz. where singing teacher, Ma rietta von Leclair. recognizing the young girls talent. offered to give her singing lessons without compensation. For two years she studied nothing but solfeggios Then she began learning songs. She had very deep contralto without any high notes at that time.

THO THE PUBLIC.-The notice insert- \ ed in The Press by my husband, Valentine gerafin. is another proof that he married me only for speculation. Everyone knows that from the day married him I have always work ed even when was i'll, and the fruit of my la- bor went to his family, who repaid me with aw- full hlmiliations Now these people, whose only God is the Almighty Dollar. know that there is nothing else to be gotten out of me, and that my health is so poor that there is no hopes for them to get anything from me in the future. in view of this, they have treated me so bad that have been compelled to seek shelter in my parents home in order to save my life, which has been threatened so many times.

The wrong of Intolerance.

The intolerant state of mind is in- furious both to the state and to the in- dividual. It goes with conceit and deadly pride. The strange thing is that men are apt to plume themselves upon their intolerance. 1t is evident that mans conduct and nations conduct should be the result of thought and judgment, but intolerance stops thought and destroys judgment.

Nearly two years have passed since the announcement made by Radcliffe Hicks of his intention of establishing the Hicks industrial and educational institute, with an endowment of $1,OO0, ,0OO, which was to be so romantically located among the beautiful hills of Holland, commanding 8 view of Lake Snipsic. Charles Phelps of Rockville Is one of the incorporators of the institute, and he has no knowledge of any action having been taken in regard to the institution since It's incorporation by the last legislature. There Is not any faith in the project here now, and 1t does not seem that 1t was ever much more than a "dream," although 1t served to se- cure 8 vote of thanks from the Connecti- cut legislature to MT.

At the present time there seems to be quite an opposition to the adoption of the new constitution. It Is difficult to see what those who wish to do away with the present unequal representation of the small towns and wish to increase the number of representatives from the cities can gain by refusing 1t. Under the pres- ent constitution 1t will be no easy task to get the legislature to vote for another convention very soon, as the members from the small towns will continue to be able to control the house, and will hesi- tate long time before they will vote for another convention called for the purpose of taking away nearly all their present representation. That the new plan of representation Is an improvement over the present one is not denied by any one desiring more equal representation, but just because they can not have all they desire some of them advocate the refusal of the acceptance of any improvement. With the new constitution 1t will be much easier to still further improve the situa- tion. The new constitution ought to be voted for.

The Chinese cultivated wheat 2,7OO years before the beginning of the Chris tian era. always considering 1t as gift direct from heaven Scientific az riculturists are of the opinion that it was widely known and cultivated by prehistoric man.

 Old American Bottles.
 In early American glassware the his- tory of our national art progress mas been written. Choice and precious in- deed are the crude blue green and brown amber bottles made early in the nineteenth century, the portrait bottles bearing busts of Washington, Franklin, Lafayette, De Witt Clinton, Zachary Taylor, Kossuth and Jenny Lind. Lo- cal decorative subjects on many lines of ideas were treated by the first Amer ican bottle makers, and the most ex- Quisite Venetian bottle cannot outrank in value, to patriotic American col lector, the primitive old flasks orna- mented with Indians, Masonic em- blems, the eagle, stars. flags, log cab ins cannon and steamships or such outdoor themes as the seasons, birds, fruit, trees. sheaves of wheat, the fish erman, deer. the gunner and his hounds and the first bicycle.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 13.-After dull and
hesitating market during the great part
of today with isolated upward movements
here and there, the market broadened
in the final hour and moved upwards
quite generally with considerable show
of strength. The activity was attributed
TO the same speculative leader, who has
been concerned in all recent important
movements, and whose return to Wall
Street this week gave immediate rise to
Ia show of awakening. Whatever the
motives of the buying, the bull leader
ship secured a larger following today
than at any time this week, notwith-
standing a number of new developments
not Immediately encouraging to rise in
prices. The preliminary figures of the
weeks currency movement, which are
usually the center of interest in Fri
days market, gave no promise of a strong
bank statement The Sub-Treasury alb
sorption of 2,4O6.OOO apparently has been
little more than offset by the balance of
receipts from the interior. There is no
indication of any considerable loan con-
traction during the week, and the time
money market continues to reflect the
cautious desire of borrowers to provide
themselves with fixed sums for a con-
siderable time to come Today's crop
news was not regarded as favorable, ow-
ing to complaints of too much rain in the
southwest.
The advance of a point or over in the
Reading stocks was an important SYM
pathetic influence upon the later mar
ket, but there was no news to show a
prospect of an early settlement of the
strike. The increase in the demand for
stocks was incontestable nevertheless.
In some cases the movement was due to
individual causes. Sugar advanced on
the oversold condition of the market for
the refined product and was benefited
also by the reports of a special Presiden-
tial message to Congress reinforcing the
recommendation for Cuban reciprocity.
There was number of very large indi-
yidual buying orders for Mexican Cen
trail executed in the early market, but
the buying was not followed up. The
drop of eight points in General Electric
was probably due to reports of new
combination of electrical manufacturing
companies backed by influential capital
lists. The stock afterwards rallied four
points. Chicago and Eastern Illinois
rose four and a half points further on
persistent rumors of an offer for con-
troll. The days reports of railroad earn
ings showed a continuance of the in
creases over last years corresponding
period. The market closed rather quiet
but steady.
There was large demand for Wabash
debenture BIS at an advance of 215 per-
cent. The Burlington joint As were also
in demand. The market generally was
firm Total sales (par value) $500 900.
United States SIS declined IA per cent.
on the last call.
The total sales of stocks today We're
$31, 100 shares, including the following:
Atchison, 1.4O0; Erie, $500: Mexican
Central, $4,000; Missouri Pacific 34,50O;

tion to buy spots and the few daily sales
are made under quotations. 1t
is only natural that the trade refuse to
depart from the hand to mouth policy in
augurated some time back when we con-
slider the current prices ana the fact
there will be a suffciency of cotton TO
meet all requirements. With the dis
existing in the new crops it is
evident that spinners Will prefer buying
then than to pay the enormous premium
exacted for spots at present. Tho bun
of operators are now interested in new
crop months. Daily weather conditions
will continue to regulate values ir those
positions. II. 3. BEER
