the astonishing record of making one thousand pounds night. This she did at New Orleans. But neither she nor any other prima donna ever kept up that sort of thing at a steady income. Possibly the best-salaried woman in the world is Madame Hegion. of the Paris Opera. She is paid 3,Sso pounds a year, and the secnnd star. Madame BreyaI. gets 3.2s0 pounds. Madame Ackte is the third lady employed by the Paris Opera House. and her pay is 2,s0O pounds a Year.
 The amounts to. be made by featuring rival the salaries of prima donnas. Ian Maclaren once made ten thousand pounds in six weeks. which is at the rate of between eighty and ninety thou sand pounds year. Sir H. M. Stanley did even better. His earnings on the platform ran to twenty-twO thousand pounds a night. These sums were fixed fees, and did not depend in any way upon the size of the house.-Toronto Mall and Empire.

ADVICE VERSUS HELP.

When horse drawing a cartful of coal got stuck on West Street the pub lie was promptly on hand with advice.
 'tPut on the whip!" shouted the driver of an express wagon.
 Take him by the head!" added a truckman.
 Cant you see he is stuck on the center?" asked man who was prob ably an engineer.
 ''If it was my horse" said man with bundle of cloth under his arm, ''I would tie blind over his eyes, I've seen | 1t tried a hundred times, and it makes 'em pull their best"
 Don't believe it." said man with a cane. I've owned horses all my life, and I've had some very bad ones among 'em. The only way is to blow in his right ear.''
 You mean the left" said small man with big voice.
 No. I don't mean the right ear, I've tried it often enough. I guess,''
 A crowd of 50 people had gathered, and the driver got down and looked the ground over. One wheel was down in a hole in the pavement. He stood looking at it, his hand on the horses hip, and everyone around him rendering advice, when a couple of sailors came along. One of them called out: "Ay, mates, but here's craft on a reef"
 "Over with her. then" Both seized the wheel for lift, the driver clucked to the horse, and away went the load as easy as you please. They were the only two of the whole crowd who had not advised the driver how to do it.--New York Press.

The great life insurance companies pay very high figures to the men who control their investments. The two largest in the world each allow their presidents thirty thousand dollars a year, and the third fixes it's presidents remuneration at twenty thousand pounds. There is one actuary working for an assurance company with head quarters II London, who gets fifty-six hundred pounds year.
 The richest corporation in the world is said to be the Standard Oil Trust. MT. John Rockefeller is it's president. But the three million pounds which forms his yearly income from the oil holdings is not salary, but interest. His viee-president, however, MT. Alex ander McDonald, Scot with a marvel eus head for finance, receives regular salary of forty thousand pounds year, and has his fare paid to Russia or Bur- nah whenever he wishes to inspect the oil fields of rival companies.
 Railway companies-at least, on the other side of the Atlantic-are not stin- gy. MT. Pierpont Morgan paid MT Samuel Spencer ten thousand dollars a year to give expert opinions on the rail- way properties he was buying up; and MT. M. Ingalls, works also for Messrs. Morgan and Vanderbilt for the comfort able remuneration of fifteen thousand pounds a year.
 As managing director of the Consoli- dated Goldf1elds of South Africa, Limi- ted, MT. Rhodes used to get about sev- enty-five thousand dollars year, and MT. Rudd's salary, also as director of the same company, was fifty thousand dollars.
 The Sugar Trust pays it's officials well. A notable instance is the ten thousand pounds year which the chemist, Mir. J. o. Donner, gets. But MT. Donner has to work hard for his money. Sugar from every part of the world, cane and beet, comes before him, and he has to exercise expert opinion on it.
 The great experts in all of the princi- pal commercial lines are we'll paid. Three thousand pounds a year is the salary of the chief tea-taster and blend CT of one great British tea firm. This gentleman has also the expenses of a three months holiday paid yearly. He needs it badly, for tea-tasting is most trying to the nerves and health.
 Four thousand two hundred pounds year is the remuneration of laborer A. J, Day, who is employed as "roller' at the Pittsburg mills by the Steel Trust He was formerly one of Mr. Carnegie's men. He is the best man at his special work--the rolling of steel rails-and is paid accordingly.

Rumors of a coming bond issue were the cause of this weakness The Sl0,- O00. 600 Atchison bond issue was the sub- ject of continued discussion and the cause of the heaviness in Atehison and Of some other stocks in which bond issues have been feared, but denied. The revival of apprehension over the Russo-Japanese dispute affected the market by reflection from London. The irresponsiVeness of the market to the consistent firmness of United States Steel preferred was the more notable in view of the overwhelming preponder- ance of its volume of business, amount ing to one-third of the whole. The usu- al forecasts of the bank statement in- d:cate gain in cash on the regular express movement of between three million and four million dollars, while sub-treasury operations, including pay ments for foreign gold, have yielded to the banks s3,O41, 900. This did not al- low for yesterdays receipts of foreign gold, which amounted to nearly $2,50O,- 900.
 Call money was correspondingly easy. With these conditions existing on the verge of the last week of the year, it is not surprising that sterling exchange should continue to rise strongly away from the gold import point.
 Cotton bills have grown comparative ly scarce also in the exchange market, and it is not without significance that the weeks exports of grain have fallen nearly 1,250 bushels below those of last week, most of the decrease showing in wheat, while the value of imported dry goods rises more than ssOO,OOO over those of last week.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value $1,S75,00O.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.


 Strong Upward Movement in Steel Pre-.
 fsrred Overcomes Inertia.
 New York, Dec. 1s.--The inertia of to-day's stock market was slightly overcome in the last hour of the trad- ing, in sympathy with the strong up- ward movement in United States Steel preferred, following the formal an- nouncement that the steel billet pool had determined upon maintenance of present prices. The effect of the an- nouncement was immediately felt. United States Steel preferred was taken in enormous blocks at an advance of 21s over last night.
 The effect upon the general market however, was scarcely more than to overcome the heavy and dragging tone which had held prices back all day, Pennsylvania showed the most marked sympathy with the rise in United States Steel preferred, and gained over 8 point. The dealings in United States Steel stock completely overshadowed the whole market in point of volume. Amalgamated Copper continued active, but was sluggish, and the London mar ket for raw copper reacted. There was a conspicuous selling movement in Rock Island. That stock fell over g. point, St. Louis and San Francisco sec- end preferred 35s and the Rock Island i've per cent. bonds a large fraction.

LEASING The
OLD CITY HALL
PROPOSITION 10 TAKE 1T FOR A
LODGING-HOUSE.
Can the Council Make Contract for
Period of Five Years-DOnOrs of
the Statue Of the Mississippi Still
Ready to Fulfill Their Promise

Emil Johnson, will rent the old city
hall on Bridge square at $4,000 a
year provided the city will give him a
fve-year lease, and the council COM
mittee on public grounds and build
ings will recommend that the Johnson
offer be accepted. City Attorney
Frank Healy advised the committee
that the council could not execute a
contract extending beyond the life of
the present body.
During the discussion of this point
Alderman Fred M. Powers inquired If
the ruling applied to franchises, and
the city attorney held that the pres
ent council could not bind its success
sors to contract. The good faith of
the city was the only foundation for
franchises. Mr.. Johnson is willing to
take his chances on a 1ve-year lease,
however, and hopes to get it from the
council. John Gorrien offered to pay
$2,40O year for the city hall, and
the Salvation Army offered $1,000 a
year.
When the attention of those who
offered to erect on the site of the old
city hall the Mississippi river statue
was called to this matter, it was stated
that they are still ready to carry out
their proposition. 1t is understood
also that some Of the donors are will
ing to place the statue in the capitol
grounds in ST. Paul it that seems to be
the best plan. The lease Of the old
building for a lodging house would
perpetuate indefinitely the mainten-
ance of the old building. and, used as
a cheap lodging house, it would prob
ably be even more of a discredit to the
city than it is now.
