When Robespferre WAS ture.

When Was "SturE."
Under the terror Robespierre used to
play a peaceful game of chess at the
Cafe Regence. and the story Is told of
a youth who once challenged him and
beat him twice. Robespierre. after his
defeat. asked how much he owed. nc
stakes having been previously fixed.
The supposed youth. who in reality was
a girl in mans clothes. presented an or
der for the release OF her lover from
prison. and Robespierre signed it. Ma

was seen at the famous cafe, but he
showed himself no tactician at chess

Mr.. Rolker in McClure's robs us Of
some misconceptions as to snakes.
When a snake is decapitated it is dead.
The tail will remain sensitive for some
hours without reference to shutdown.
The rattlesnake does not suicide by Bit
ing itself. No snake is susceptible to
the poison Of it's own kind. That the
black snake will swallow it's young in
time of danger is true. and they are
then digested. making the mother a

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Heavy Early Drop is Met by orders,

. NEW YORK. May 21.-There was a short.
sharp conflict between the contending ele-
with very feverish fluctuations during the
hrst hour. The pressure TO sell fairly
oyercame the market at one time and car
for the movement below last night. But
the supporting orders, which were in evil
absorbed all offerings until the pressure to
sell had spent itself and the decline was
transactions were lone in the first hour.
Afterwards there was a slow but ~increas-
ing upward movement and the market
level. There was a continuance of liquf-
dalton from the first hour as shown by
Paul 'H ana the Tnited States Sssi teeff Stocks ST X;
and some of the Canadian stocks which
suffered in yesterdays speculative col
Steel stocks was based on the somewhat
equivocal tone of the weekly Iron Trade
downward tendency in many branches Of
the trade was pointed out. The argument
that an abnormal condition in iron is be-
ing abandoned by yielding prices for a
more normal and therefore staple basis is
coupled with the admission that the price
~ wnicn puyeIs ana sellers Will hnalIy
ing of ST. Paul was believed to be for
important interests owing to its volume
and IT was feared that the demand of
freight handlers in the northwest carried
a threat of serious trouble. The weakness
selling of the Burlington Joint bonds were
attributed to the same cause. But the
same confidence with which the heavy
offerings thrown upon the market we're
absorbed served to relieve the fears of a
wiping out of margins and shrinkage of
collaterals which have aggravated the
weakness Of the market for several days
past. An important factor in the support
Of the market was the heavy buying for
way from 5000 to over 100, 600 shares for
the day. This made itself effective not
only in the stock market but in the for
eign exchange market, where the appear
ance of bills from the arbitrage broker
age houses broke. the rate some 10 points
ports a matter of doubt. The reduction
of the Bank of England discount rate from
4q3h was the basis of the improved tone
of the English speculation. The weekly
its decrease in other securities of eSs,-
$50, 900, shows that the enormous loans of
last week to float the transVaal loan have
practically been repaid.
1t shows the confidence Of the bank Of
flcials that the large supply OF. foreign
capital now loaned In London will not be
disturbed by allowing the interest rate
to relax. TIL likelihood of further de-
mand upon our own gold supply Is there
fore diminished. Finally the decided re-
restorative of confidence and relieved the
pressure of liquidation of stocks to cover
losses by the shorts in cotton. The market
lost much of it's animation on the up
failed to wipe out entirely yesterdays
losses. But the demand was well main
tanned at the higher level. A feature of
the day was some further wide declines
in the marketing OF inactive stocks ,

United States bonds were all unchanged

CATTLE-There was a very light run OF
cattle here this morning anu besides that
a number of trains were late IN arriving
owing to the heavy rains OF last night,
which crippled the railroads to some ex-
tent and delayed trains. Buyers took hold
with much more lite than they ala yes
terday ana prices were somewhat better.
Beef steers sold freely at an advance of
5qlOc as compared with yesterdays low
market. All the packers seemed TO be in
need of quite a lew cattle and as receipts
were very limited 1t only took a short
time for everything TO change hands. All
kinds improved, but the greatest advance
was on the handy weights OF good flesh
and quality.
There were very few COWS and heifers on
sale this morning and as a result statesmen
experienced no difficulty in getting good
eteauy prices for al kinds. Buyers did not
show any great anxiety for supplies. but
still they went around early in the morning
and bought up everything in sight at yes
terday's quotations. Sellers tried to get a
little more, but packers were not at all IN
clined to advance prices.
There was 10 particular charge In the
prices paid for bulls and veal calves. Any
thing at all desirable sold freely at steady
prices.
Supplies of stockers and feeders were
again very limited and the market could
safely be quoted steady on anything decent.
Spectators sold practically all the good
cattle they had on hand yesterday and as
a result they all wanted fresh supplies this
morning. The few cattle that did arrive
changed hands freely at fully steady prices.
