f1usnl Love - f1efel
On the-morning that Hyde sailed for
America, Cornelia received the let
ter he had written her on the dis
covery Of Rem's dishonorable con-
duct. So much love, so much 10y,
sent to her in the secret foldings Of a
sheet of paperl In hurry OF delight
and expectation she opened 1t, and
her beamlng eyes ran all over the joy
full words It brought her-sweet fiut-
tering pages, that his breath had
moved, and his face been aware Of
How he would have rejoiced to see
her pressing them to her bosom, at
some word of fonder memory or de-
sire.
In the afternoon, when the shopping
for the day had been accomplished,
Cornelia went to Capt. Jacobus, to
play with him the game Of backgam-
mon which had become an almost
daily duty, and to which the captain
attached a great Importance. Il owe
your daughter as much as 1 owe you,
sir" he would say to Doctor Moran,
"and owe both Of you a bigger debt
than can clear myself Of"
This afternoon he looked at his vic
itor with a wondering speculation.
There was something in her face and
manner and voice he had never before
seen or heard, and madame-who
watched every expression Of her hus-
band-was easily led to the same OBJ
servation. She observed Cornelia
closely, and her gay laugh especially
revealed some change. It was like
the burst of bird song in early spring
and she followed the happy girl to the
front door and called her back when
she had gone down the steps, and
said, as she looked earnestly in her
face:
you have heard from Joris Hyde?
I know you have!" and Cornelia nod
ded her head, and blushed and smiled,
and ran away from further question.
When she reached home she found
Madame Van Heemskirk sitting with
her mother, and the sweet old lady
rose to meet her, and said before Cor
nelia could utter word:
Come to me, Cornelia. This morn
ing letter we have had from my
Joris, and sorry am l that did thee
so much wrong"
Madame, l have long forgotten it,
and there was mistake all round"
answered Cornelia cheerfully.
"That is so-and thy mistake first
of all. Hurry is misfortune; even TO
be happy, it is not wise to hurry. Lis
ten nowl Joris has written to his
grandfather, and also to me, and very
busy will he keep us both. His grand
father is to look after the stables, and
to buy more horses, and to hire serv-
ing men of all kinds. And long let
ter also l have from my daughter
Katherine, and she tells me to make
her duty to thee my duty. That is my
pleasure also, and have been talk
ing with thy mother about the house.
Now l shall go there, and very pleas
ant home shall make it.
Then Cornelia kissed madame, and
afterwards removed her bonnet, and
madame looked at her smiling.
For nearly week Cornelia was too
busy to take Arenta into her con.
sideration. She did not care to tell
her about Rem's cruel and dishonor.

CROW WANTS A Nav rRIAL.
Says Supreme Court is in Error In
Continental Tobacco Case.

Continental Tobacco Case.
Jefferson City, Mo-: Attorney Cen
eral Grow has filed a motion in the
Supreme Court for a rehearing in the
Continental Tobacco Company case,
In which an opinion was handed down
by the court several days ago, holding
that the company had right to buy
up the independent concerns and that
the Attorney General was in error in
proceeding against the company and
endeavorlng to GUST it from doing
business in the State.
Mr.. Crow alleges that the decision
of the court was at wide variance to
the decision OF the Federal Court in
the Northern Securities cases. which
the Attorney General says is analo-
gous to the case at bar. Mr.. Crow, in
his motion, quotes extensively from
the Federal Court decision, and says
that the precedent set in this decision
was completely overlooked by the Su-
preme Curt.
The Attorney General also contends
that he also did not have n fair show
in presenting evidence before the com.
missioner in the Continental Tobacco
Company case. He AYERS that he was
not through presenting evidence when
the commissioner rendered Judgment.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 1.-The stock market
was still under pressure to-day in spite
of some resistance by the speculative
leaders, notably st. Paul. The move
ments in this stock recently have al
most served to dominate the market,
so that its firmness to-day naturally
had some effect on sentiment
It's influence was modified, however,
by the patent fact that selling was 60
ing on elsewhere under this cover and
also by the assertions that a large
bear account was taking profits on the
long decline in st. Paul by covering
short contracts for many thousand
shares. Short covering was also re-
ported in Rock Island, but with less eff
feet. The reports of damage by the
floods affected Rock Island and had a
growing influence on the operations in
Missouri Pacific, Atchison and Union
Pacific. Missouri Pacific. after offer

The gathering strength in the wheat

this group of railroad stocks. There
was renewed liquidation also in a

SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 45Ac, sales 300 casks,
and closed steady and unchanged, sales
200 casks. Up to the closing on the
Board of Trade the demand did not
appear to be very material, but after
the closing exporters got busy, and
within short time the market was
swept of the offerings at 451Rc. The
afternoon session was one OF. the live
Hest recently held on the Board of
Trade, and not until over half hours
discussion did the committee decide
just what to do. A leading factor, and
president of the National Tank and
Export Company bid 45Ac for all the
turpentine in Savannah. The export
ers wanted it more than he did, and
went out and paid 451ac for the re-
naming offerings. From now on there
promises to be a fight, with the tank
company bidding against exporters for
the offerings. The tank company say
they will not let the price go below
45c, while the belief is they think it
should at least be Soc. This being
the case it looks like there will be
an interesting market until there is
an adjustment to the existing ideas
of both sides. The receipts to-day
were 748 casks, and the exports 2,414
casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm and unchanged, sales $50 bar
rels, and closed firm at the prices be-
low, sales 1882 barrels. The demand
was satisfactory The receipts were
1902 barrels, and the exports 1882
barrels. Prices as follows:

Following the call trading became
slightly more active under demand
for later positions, shorts covering and
the South sending buying orders which
advanced prices to level about 40
10 points above the closing last Fri
day had been attained. Then there
was some taking of profits by the room
under more favorable weather
forecasts and prices were worked back
to nearly the opening basis. Almost
Immediately there was another rally,
however, on the moderate estimates
for to-morrow's receipts at leading
points; better accounts from New Eng
land spinning centers and slight
improvement in the demand for cot
ton goods.
In addition to this, exports for the
day were heavy, and although the
port receipts again greatly exceeded
last years, the unfavorable crop talk
proved the dominating factor, prices
being rapidly forced up until a net
gain of 1920 points was apparent. with
September selling to 1019c, touching
a new high level for the season. From
this there was a slight reaction I'M
der renewed profit-taking, but the mar
ket was finally steady at net unchanged
prices to an advance of II points. To-
tai sales futures estimated at 100000
bales.

Baxter and Co... Cotton Letter.

New York June lin the cotton
market this morning opening was to
points advance on very small trans
actions, the absence of business was
partly owing to the continued close of
the Liverpool market until Tuesday. A
good deal of rain fell in the Atlantic
states, and the temperature in some
districts of the Southwest was too cool
Furthermore mail reports from Texas
was not as bearish as looked for, in
fact they continue rather poor and de-
note little improvement, while boil
weevil seem to be gaining ground and
worms of other variety are hurting the
cotton Some improvement is noted in
the Atlantic states, but all in all, the
crop situation has undergone no
change of importance, and there is
nothing to warrant the expectation of
a bureau report on Thursday other
than probably Is points poorer condi-
ton than last year. The two crop
months moved up 10 to IL points dur
ing the morning on covering of shorts
