Sugar was the feature of the late trad
ing IN the stock market to-day, although
the railroads also were prominent.
Sentiment was bullish throughout the
session. the buying being well distrib-
uted. Trading was lively and closed ac-
tive.
The encouraging news of the day to
the bulls. who worked for higher prices
in the stock market to-day. were the
railroad reports. Even Pennsylvania's
statement, after IT had been studied.
was found to be better than 1t looked.
There was q decrease In net earnings of
$io5. 900. but this was due to the extra
ordinary increase in expenditures for
improvements. Tn gross earnings
showed a decided Increase. After selling
down the stock became strong and made
. sharp advance.
The report OF the day was that OF
Lehigh Valley, which showed gross
earnings for October OF 1857 100. an in
crease Of S7o6.5o2, this was good, but
tine net went up 1898, SO. The income for
tour months was increased 10y A,672,5 l6,
making the total surplus S6,Ooy,S!3. Last
year there was a deficit of S,lli,21O,
while now the surplus Is S2,6i5,553. This
report helped all the coal roads. Erie
advanced and Baltimore and Ohio, Read
ing. Delaware and Lacaawanna were
also strong In sympathy.
Union PaciHc's report for October
showed gross earnings of S,675,57a, an
increase OF ,7e2. III while the net In
crease was S4Oo. 355. The net for four
months amounted to 1851. 2il, an in
crease OF si72,6 l5. This with the glow

Boa officials and the declaration of the
dividend on the Atchison preferred

The 1rmness CT such issues as Air

The Dangerous Rocks.

On the sea of life are left many 81
wrecks. In the majority Of cases
these failures are due to the excessive
use of alcohol. One OF the most pro-
life causes Of acquiring the alcohol habit
in these days Is a frequent use of alco-
hollc compounds advertised as tonics
for the cure of everything. Undoubtedly
there Is some virtue in the drugs enter
ing into these compounds, but the good
such drugs may do the system Is coun-
teracted by the i'll effects Of the alcohol
Many times the persons taking these
patent medicines feel much improved
for q little time through the stimulating
effects of the alcohol in the medicine,
but there is apt to be a reaction in
which the person is much depressed and
in low spirits; finally the habitual user
Of such a remedy will become dependent
upon its false strength for courage
to go through her daily duties. The
State of Kansas not long ago exposed
the practice of many people buying
these alcoholic compounds as a "tipple,"
and will require manufacturers and deal
ers In said medicines to observe the
same rules and laws as do the distillers
of WHlSKEY--and the remedies will be
prohibited from general sale.

The Survival Of Personality.


On the subject Of Immortality little need
be said. We have seen that Mr.. Myers
claims for these facts an intimate bearing
on the belief in the endleSsness of life. But
when the question Of Immortality is actual
ly raised in connection with them. 1t is put
aside as one of the infinities with which
science, even with the enlarged outlook
here claimed for it, has nothing to do. All
that he aims at establishing is the survival
of some form of psychical life after what
appears to us the death Of the body. What
is actually established in the great number
of cases granting it is established) sug
gests, l confess. to me, the prolongation of
death rather than of life. Whether such n
form of existence is desirable. and, grant
ing its disturbances. whether 1T satisfies
our religious longings. are further Ques-
tons Of which in the immediate future We
may expect to hear good deal in connec
ton with such contentious. The answer to
them must largely depend on the nature of
the life itself So far as we may judge
from the facts already before us. the OUT
look Is not favorable. Some of the mes
sages, indeed. are of the peace and happi-
ness of the surviving soul. but they are 10y
no means uniformly of this character. and
in them all there is the same weird sugges-
ton of mbecility which has been so often
used as an argument against the authen-
ITCHY of the messages.

HOUSING oLYMPIAN GAMES.
Immense Building in Course of Con-
struction at St, Louis

"A stadium which will seat 10000 persons
and which in point of size. elegance and
excellence of arrangement Will probably
excel any ether building ever erected for a
similar purpose is outlined in set of pre-
limnary plans just placed in the hands of
Harry J. Furber, jr., president of the
Olympan Games Association" said r. j.
Donnelly of ST. Louis to a Star man at the
New Willard. The structure, it is assert
ed, will house the Oiympian games to be
held IN ST. Louis In 1901.
THE building will cover approximately
eleven acres, the arena alone being 500 feet
long and 100 feet wide. The stadium at
Athens where the Olympian games were
held in 1885, was but go feet long and 100
feet wide. The stadium at Athens seated
between 40, 600 and $4,000 persons The
plans for the ST. Louis stadium provide for
more than 1900 seats in case they may
be necessary on the days when there will be
special attractions at the games.
"A striking novelty in the way of a roof
is provided for. The area over the seats
will be rooted in the usual way, but the
arena will be protected by a roof or left
without one. with almost the ease with
The roof of the arena will consist of a
series of waterproof curtains arranged on
rollers operated by electric motors. When
the games are in progress the curtains will
be rolled back. In the event Of storm all
that will be necessary to put on the roof
will be to press a button So in good
weather while the audience will be protect
ed from the suns rays the contest will
really take place in the open air and with
the aid of the adjustable roof postpone
ments will be unnecessary on account of
the weather.

Danes and Germans.
From the Nineteenth Century.

From the Nineteenth Century.
The character and temperament of the
popula alton of North Schleswig are very
quiet and peaceable. AS an official Prus-
sian record Of criminal cases states there
is in the whole German empire single
province in which so few sentences are
passed by the criminal judges as in North
Schleswig. There were only half the Prus-
sian average of tn, cases and cases OF
robbery with murder and murderous as
sault These favorable crime statistics are
due principally to the good bringing up and
intelligence of the middle and lower classes
as well as to the cordial and harmonious
family life of the Danish population Among
the individual members of the family Their.
always exists a consistently affectionate
and hearty tone In their intercourse with
each other. 1 visited many theaters.
taurants and inns. which were principally
frequented by the Danish inhabitants. but
nowhere saw an improper action nor an
ill-nannered offense. The intercourse be-
tween master and servant is also always
friendly and polite.

REPORTS DISCOUNTED.
Doubt Expressed of Stories of Atroci-
ties Committed by Soldiers.

E l.. Thorson, representing a Chicago
mercantile establishment, was at the Ra-
leigh yesterday. He returned about SIX
weeks ago from a trip to the philippines
and is inclined to doubt that there have
been atrocities committed to any great ex-
tent by soldiers in the islands, Mr.. Thor
son said to a Star man:
Il did not hear any complaints at all in
Manila where 1 spent most of my time.
either from the whites or the natives.
There are many people in the United States
who undoubtedly would faint If they saw
a child spanked, and 1t often takes more
severe discipline to treat with full-grown
sayages My opinion is that the blood
curdling reports which have been circu-
lated more or less freely here originated
from letters of soldiers who felt that they
were not getting quite enough glory for
their work. and used their imagination
a little when they wrote nome. Inc ma
tives do not seem to believe that their
friends are being tortured with barbaric
ingenuity. and the soldiers, even the boast
full ones, laugh at the reports.
Manila is AmercaniZed to an extent
which seems wonderful in a place located
as it is and comprising the class of people
which it does. The sanitary conditions are
excellent and the police service is good.
This department is made up Of American
soldiers native soldiers and native police
officers and there is little crime commit
ted in any part of the town. They were
working on the ships which were sunk by
Dewey's fleet when l was out there. and 1
understand that one of them has been
raised since l left.
THE country surrounding the capital is
too beautiful for description. Proceeding
inward for few miles the traveller finds
unbroken forests which are masses Of
color, blooming trees plants and bushes ex-
listing in every place where the soil is such
as to allow vegetation. Little brooks
course through these places toward the sea-
and tropical birds and animals furnish
music and add to Its beauty. There is no
artist who could do justice to some of
these scenes. and they seem almost to
SAVIOR of fairyland to a person used to the
more modest colOring of our northern
fields and forests. l suppose that they will
be cleared out in most sections. when more
settlers come to take advantage of the
agricultural opportunities, but they are
worth seeing and preserving.

INDIANA Ne. ] II 1 RAGEDY.
Young Man Kills His Father and
Wounds Mother and Sister.

Frankfort, Ind, Feb. 25.-Edward
Woods, the seventeen-year-old son of
prominent farmer, several miles
north of here, killed his father, shot
and fatally wounded his mother and
sister. and then committed suicide.
The motive for the crime is not
known. After the shooting the young
man went to the home of "a neighbor
and said that robbers had entered the
Woods home and killed his father,
mother and sister and that he escaped
after a. running battle1 with the des-
peradoes. He was apparently greatly
excited and said he was organizing a
posse to pursue his fathers slayers.
The boy then continued on his way
toward this city and stopping at the
next house, told the same story. When
he was questioned concerning the
shooting he cecame confused and re-
sented the inquisitiveness of the farm.
er to whom he told the story. Young
Woods said he had no time for further
words, as he had to run down the rob.
bers, and he started toward the barn.
yard at the farmers home. After the
boy disappeared behind the barn, a
shot was heard, and the farmer to
whom the boy had been talking but a
moment before fastened to the barn,
to find the youth with a bullet through
his breast
