esting Occasion.
President Hadley OF Yale university
gave an informal talk before the stu
dents of the Hopkins Grammar school

from Hopkins in 1872 and he gave G
short but very interesting account of
the school as 1t was at that time. He
dwelt at some length on the Importance
of careful and minute study. Speaking
i'll his usual convincing manner he made
a profound impression by the examples
which he cited, of the success gained
in after life from the formation of such
habits of study. He said in closing that
the habits he had acquired at Hopkins
were daily becoming of greater and
greater value to him.

cHICKERING PIANOS.

In. 1923 Jonas Chickering commenced
making pianos in Boston and laid the
foundation of the famous house of
Chickering &Sons. His contemporaries
at once recognized the fact that he was
making good pianos. In 1903 the fact
is everywhere recognized that reputa-
ton for excellence established eighty
years ago has not only been maintained
but steadily increased through: this un-
usual period. We would especially call
attention to the "Quarter-G Grand" the
smallest Grand embodying modern
principles, ever made.

The iron and steel industry is at it's
highest ebb, and the coal business is of
course booming, While the copper trade
is also gradually showing improvement,

VICTORY FOR STEEL TRUST
IYJUSCTIOEIN THE HODGE SUIT
DISSOLVED ON APPEAL.

No Legal Obstacle Now to the Carrying
Out Of the Plan Of Converting $780,
100000 of Per Cent Preferred stock
Into Per Cent Bonds.
Trenton. ". J., Feb. 5.-The New Jer-
sey court of errors and appeals to-day
unanimously decided in favor of the
United States Steel corporation in the
appeal case where Vice-Chancellor
Emery had granted an injunction re-
straining the corporation from convert
ing s2OO,OOO.OOO of I per cent. preferred
stock into per cent bonds. This was
the suit that was brought by j, Aspin-
wall Hodge after the decision in favor
of the corporation in the suit brought
by Mrs. Miriam Berger This removes
all obstacles for carrying out the cor
poration's conversion plan so far as any
litigation in the New Jersey courts is
concerned.
The opinion, which is not yet filed,
will be written by Justice Van Syckel.
The members of the court after a con-
ference took vote. The only appeal
now can be made to the United States
supreme court.
New York, Feb. 5.-The Hodge suit
for a permanent injunction against the
conversion of $2OOOO0,0O0 United States
Steel preferred shares into bonds diff
fered from the Berger suit, lately de-
cided in the company's favor, in that it
alleged bad faith in the participation of
directors in the underwriting syndicate
without giving notice of such participa-
ton to the shareholders meeting. Gen
eral belief in Wall street has for some
time been that the temporary injunc-
ton, granted by Vice-C Chancellor EN-
cry, would be dissolved by the court of
errors.
Judge Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation, and repre-
sentative of J. P. Morgan & Co., refus-
ed to speak about the decision. It's eff
feet on the market for the stock was
favorable. The new bonds sold on the
curb for delivery, when issued" were
but slightly changed, sale being made
just before the news came out at 81.
They were "a bid yesterday. An i'm
preston prevailed in Wall street, in
some circles, that the conversion plan,
after all, might not be put through,
but that the. company would be salts
fled to use it's surplus earnings for the
contemplated improvements and to let
the 5000, 900 conversion undertaking
lapse.

Wendell Phillips used to tell this sto-
~ on Emerson with considerable glee:
"Once while / was lecturing in the
west a young fellow came up to me as
was leaving the platform. He intro
duced himself, explained that lecture
course was being talked Of in his town
for the next season and wanted to
know If I would be kind enough to
suggest some good lecturers l replied
that l would be glad to do so and
named Henry Ward Beecher, George
William Curtis, Bayard Taylor and
Emerson.
Emerson? Emerson?' said the
young fellow, looking perplexed. Who
is Emerson?
II informed him that Emerson was
the leading philosopher of the country,
one OF it's great original thinkers. The
young fellow reflected moment and
then observed:
We'll, Mr.. Phillips, Wen put Elmer
son on our course If you say SO. sup
pose man of that sort ought to be en-
outraged"

He Didn,t Understand.

A little fellow out West Roxbury
way some ten years old, perhaps
twelve, bested his grand1nothers the
other day rather neatly. All three
were at the table when one of the la
dies casually mentioned the name of
the family nurse. Immediately the
little fellow wanted to know who the
lady was. One grandma innocently re-
marked that it was the nurse that took
care Of the boy when he was born.
but why didn't mamma take care
OF me? l was her baby, wasn't I?'
queried the little fellow. True" says
grandma; "but. you see, mamma doesn't
understand how to look after little ba-
bies. particularly the first one. and we
have to have nurses who have learned
how in the hospitals" That seemed to
settle 1t, but all Of sudden the little
fellow blurted out. well. then, Who

A Magnetic Personality,

A magnetic personality, which at
tracts the common run of mOrtals, as
moths are attracted to a candle. is
much coveted in these days and is GER
tainly 4 valuable possession, but it will
perhaps be some consolation to the wO.
man who cannot attract the attention
Of everybody in a room the moment
she enters it that many great men and
women had no personality worth
mentioning. There is a story of Fanny
Burney sitting unobserved in corner
and having to be dragged into promi-
hence at rout. Browning was disap-
pointed when he met George Eliot,
though they afterward became friends.
Charlotte Bronte was always at dis
advantage in society, and many other
similar cases might be mentioned.
Great minds are often without this
charm of manner, while persons of
quite ordinary talents may have the
faculty of mesmerizing not only those
with whom they come into immediate
contact, but all their contemporaries,
thus acquiring fame out of all pro-
portion to their merits.
