 Mrs. Mary E. Hitchcock will give the second lecture of the public course in College street hall this evening. Sub- ject. "The New Land of Gold" Mrs. Hitchcock won golden opinions from the press wherever she has spoken, as will be seen from the following excerpts:
 The New York Herald: The audience listened with rapt attention to the nar- rative describing the land of which so little is known. A.. *.
 The New York Tribune: The pictures seem so real it almost takes ones breath away.
 The New York Times. The lecture by Mrs. Mary E. Hitchcock was most in- teresting.
 The Montreal Witness: Mrs. Hitch cocks adventures are like a. romance. Minneapolis Tribune: Mrs. Hitch cocks experiences are of the most en- tertaining character, related in a bright vivacious manner.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES.
As Reviewed by the House of Prince &
 Whitely. .tE

Whitely. fs.
 New York, October 15.-C Considering the higher quotations and better sem timent as denoted in the early cables from London. to-day's course of the stock market has been a decided disap- pointment to everybody who entertain ed the hope of Improvement. There seems to be absolutely no absorbing power of the stocks offering and the outside public takes no interest in the proceedings of Wall street.
 The industrial creations are bearing the brunt of what is called the attacks of traders. and their support on the part Of those who hoated them is very poor. Confidence is lacking and there are no signs of it's early awakening. Reports of good news fined no credence; large railway gross earnings, good crop reports and heavy export demand at fairly high prices therefore pass by un- noticed.
 The declaration Of the regular divi- dend on Amalgamated Copper had but little effect on the stock. ,~#
 The calamity mongers are now talk ing of reduction of next dividends on Pennsylvania.
 On the announcement of dividend of 1h per cent. on Reading second pre- ferred, the market rallied fractionally chiefly on short covering and the clos ing was about per cent. over the low est.

S6OO,O 1000 FOR HOADLEYS.
ALLEGED PROPOSITION TO SET
 TIE THE PLANT WILL CASE.

Direct Heirs Said to Favor n cOmpro-
 mIse-Famons suit Involves Estate
 Valued at sI7,oOO, O,OoO-COunsei Won't
 Talk.
 The case of Charles F. and Horace G. Hoadley vs. Morton F. Plant. ct aI., executors on the estate of Henry B. PIans. is now on its way to the su- preme court of errors. It is learned on good authority that an attempt was made last week to reach a settlement in the matter upon the basis of the pay men of S500, 900 to the Hoadley brothers. The attempt was a failure, however, and the attorney interested within strive to get the facts, which have become hopelessly, tangled, as far as laymen go, before the highest tribunal in the state.
 It will be remembered that when the late Henry B. Plant died he left a will by the provisions of which $17,000,00 was to be held in trust until the testa- tors great-grandson (not yet born) should arrive at the age of twenty-one, the heirs of the testator's half brother were to have a share in the division of this trust fund. At present Charles D.. and Horace G. Hoadley represent the heirs of the testator's half brother.
 The heirs of Henry B. Plant decided that if the will could be probated in New York state they could get around this little provision, withdrew the mat ter from the Connecticut probate court and proceeded to settle up matters &C., cording to their own opinion of things. It was at this point that the Waterbury men stepped in with an injunction and began to tangle matters up with legal actions without number. Some kind of a judgment was rendered in the super for court, but whether that judgment was favorable to the Plant heirs or the Hoadley heirs is a question too deep for laynen to determine. An appeal was made in any event. ....
 Since the appeal was entered attempts have been made to. settle the case. The proposition of settlement is said to have come from the plaintiffs. It is hinted, however, that the Plant heirs would be willing to pay considerable sum if the Hoadley heirs would with draw their claim. not that the Plant heirs were willing to concede that the Hoadley heirs had claim, but for the sake of peace. The Plant heirs no soon- CT plan to enjoy a little rest than the Hoadley heirs find some new ground to work upon and the whole matter has to be aired in the colrts again.
 Beyond admitting that their was some truth in a report that a. settlement had been suggested, Attorney Burpee, coun- sel for the Hoadley heirs of Waterbury declined to discuss the subject yester- day.

The iron crown" which worked up

ages to such an extent as finally to be-
come an object of worship, is. in fact.
a gold crown, the secret magic of the
name resting on the tradition that the
inside ring of iron was made from the
nails which were driven through the
hands of Jesus ut the time of the CRU
cifiXiOn.
But little is known concerning III"
history of the iron crown until after
the coronation of AgilUif. king of the
LombarGs. 1t is generally believed that
it was made for that monarch In the
year J91. 1t was used by Charlcmagne

When looking around to discover So
clal grievances or TO lind subjects for
philanthroric work. why has 10 one
thought of the hotel maids and wait
crS? Their lives are hard, for they
have long hours and must be on duty
both early and late. Their time of is
taken in SnatchcS, and they seldom get
n whole day.
\ kind lady. observing this at a no.
tel, asked her husband to give his morn
ing paper every day 10 the man who
waited ut their table. The gratitude
expressed showed how tedious the man
found his idle tine when he was ''on
duty" but had nothing to do and moth
ing to read.
y book or paper to Il Chambermafd,

gratefully received than the ever vel

y little consideration as to unusual
demands meets with equal apprccia-
ton. Any one who has Travelled mulch
and not kept his eyes shut soon learns
that hotel work is hard for those who
do it regularly and continuously and
soon becomes willing to he less exact
ing and more aware of certain needs in

piled by gifts of money. \ little per-
sonal interest is worth much more in
