Murphy & Co.'S stock Letter.

New York, March 1.-THE stock
markets movement was somewhat ir-
regular to-day but taken all together
they indicated the experience of con-
siderable underlying strength. The in
fluence of the unprecedently favorable
bank statement on Saturday, continued
Consolidated Gas rose over per cent
on opening, more apparent than the
continued growth of the companys
business. General Electric advanced
over per cent. on the continued dis
cussion of a possible stock dividend
The sharp advance in Sugar was due
to reports that decisive action was
to be taken at the House Republican
caucus tonight on the Cuban tariff
question. In the railway list the
Southwestern stocks were strong on
favorable weather advices from the
West. Local fractions were irregular
but showed considerable strength in
the afternoon with B. r. T. in the lead
The unsatisfactory condition of Cop
per was responsible for fresh heavy
selling of that stock and it ended a.
net loss of rs on a rally of half per
cent. from lowest. Ice issues were de-
cidedly weak and practically for COM
mon on unfavorable dividend rumors
Virginia Chemical was somewhat re-
aetiony. The market generally closed
strong.

and Eye on Calendar.
From the New York Tribune
On the morning of March 3, 1892,
Anton Jansen, a gentle blacksmith.
whose spreading chestnut tree rears
its head at No. rs West One hundred
and-first-street remarked to his sis
ter Mrs. Rettinger
I'm never touch a drop of booze in
ten years.
Mrs. Rettinger smiled a sweet sad
smile that had a world OF meaning in
it, for she had heard that sort of
thing before, yes-once or twice before.
But, remarkable to relate, as the nurse
says when she comes to a particularly
incredible part of the fairy story. jan
sen kept his word. For ten long years
the blacksmith lived an arid life. For
one hundred and twenty weary months
he ranked as the human Sahara with
never a single oasis. Sometimes when
the scent of spring was in the air
he may have cast a thirsty eye at the
embracing portrait of the Harlem goat
engaged in posing magnificiently with
his forefeet upon a barrel of book Or
he may have shifted enviously as he
trudged homeward from work and
caught the odor that came through
the doors of the Dutchmans at the
corner. But he always kept on. He
never luiliSu III. ne Kept HIS NOTu
Jansen didn't forget the time limit,
though. He kept his eye on the cal
endar. He counted off the years and
the months and the weeks and the
days. Sunday night he went to bed
and dreamed gorgeous dreams of the
morrow.
Monday morning Jensen arose bright
and early and after breakfast an
nounced his intention of going forth
into the glad world and annexing
bit of it's gladness.
1T is a glorious anniversary" said
he.
So he took his sister and fastened
to Harlem bank, wherefrom he drew
$500 that he had laid up against
rainy day. He judged that wet
weather was about due. In another
pocket he had an additional humidity
fund OF $125. 1t did not take him
long to lose Mrs. Rettinger after that,
and she saw him no more until 6
O'Clock last evening. At that hour the
celebrant returned. According TO his
sister, he carried big revolver in his
hand and his lee scuppers were all
awash. He climbed the stairs and be-
gan to shift the furniture somewhat
roughly. A rocking chair was the first

lola ATTACKS PARIS WOMEN.
Tells Them That Their Interest in
Literature Is Only Pretense.


From the New York World.
Paris, March 15.-Emile Zola's debut
as lecturer is the sensation of the
hour in Paris.
He was invited to deliver a series of
three lectures before an exceedingly
aristocratic woman's literary and po-
litical club. AT the very beginning he
teld his smart rustling hearers that
they knew nothing about literature or
politics, but were simply possessed of
that surface knowledge which society
women find useful in daily chit-chat to
create an impression of intellectual
culture. Then he proceeded to demon
strate that a real understanding OF
literature or politics required hard
work, of which such an audience as he
saw before him manifestly was inca
pable.
You pretend to be interested in
these questions" NJ. lola said, "but
really you are not. Your days are idly
devoted to foolish amusement and use
less actions, interminable to ill-mak-
ing seances with dressmakers, lunch
cons, dinners, pink teas, o-called lit
erary lectures, receptions, balls and
theaters. You spend your time in gos-
sip which is stupid when it is not
wicked.
You shifk motherhood, and when
you have children they are mostly en-
trusted to mercenary hands. You
grovel with astonishing alacrity to
gain admittance into social circles
above your own, and cannot conceal
