NO INSPECTOR OF AGE
Dan Cupid Shoots His Darts Effective
 Iy at Seeming lmmunes.

The fact that a man does not get married before he is 21 years old does not argue that he is immune. Sedate men who figure out at the age O. 40 that Cupid can do no harm to them might welltake care. There is no age 0. immunity afd no disposition which is entirely proof say5 the Chicago I ribune.
 To substantiate this it is only nec- essary to tell the story of William Vannote, of New Bruns wicK. N. J.
 Fer thiIty-five years Valnote had not spoken to a womaL. The other day he was married. Fof nine years nc had boarded with Mrs. Mary JIcH.l . rock. a widow, and JacoJ Agan, her son in-law, and her dauelItev. He aid r 0: speak to the two won,cr. He had rCtling to say he has since explained
 Suddenly. however, Vannote awoke to the fact that he Ough, to have a wife, and so at the breakfas5 table he remarked, breaking his long silence:
 Mrs. Hendrock, ma'am, will you marry me-" Adding thereto by way of afterthought: And will you have corned beef and cabbage for dinner2'
 Evidently he thought while he was speaking he might as well make two requests as well as one and get q din- ner to his liking as we'll as a wife.
 The buxom German widow was startled. as she well might be at hear ing the words of a man celebrated for miles around as a woman hater. but she recovered her composure quickly and stammered:
 Yes, sir"
 It was left Vannote to decide whether this meant that she would be his wife or whether she would provide him with the cabbage dinner. It migh; have meant both or either one.
 Vannote thought over it moment and then asked which she meant.
 Both" she said.
 Then put on your hat" said. the

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

There is a generally distributed tip
that Copper. ST. Paul. Missouri Pacific.
and Atchison are to be moved up a few
points this week New York represen-
tatives of several Washington houses
have received large orders for purchases
of the above, and also Of Canadian Pa
cifc. and it looks as if there was some
credence put in the tip.
A tip was distributed this morning
to bet Amalgamated Copper preferred
for a few points rise The Lewison-
Harrison pool, which is manipulating
this stock, say that they will put II
above 90 again.
1t was stated for the first time this
morning that John d. Rockefeller and
associates were Interested in the Anal
gamated Copper Company. When the
stock was selling around 40. it is under
stood that Mr.. Rockefeller was a heavy
buyer. and that this week he has made
large purchases of the stock.
Foreign buying of bonds is reported
as very good. Sales to Berlin, Paris
and London have been particularly large.
On the other hand, the foreign buying
of American stocks for investment Is
light.
The next report on cotton may or may
not break the corner in that great
staple. There is. as a fact. more in
terest in corn. which is the crop upon
which the extensive railroad systems
in the West largely depend for their tom
mage. 1t appears to be certain that
there will not be a bumper crop of
corn. This crop is unusually late, and
conditions in the corn belt have not
been altogether favorable this month.
However, an average crop, or perhaps
something more than an average crop,
is looked for by the crop experts. il
the crop reaches total of 1000, 900 900
bushels that will be satisfactory.
The application of the New York Cen
trail Railroad to the New York Stock
Exchange to list $1,000 900 additional 343
per cent bonds OF 1897 indicates that that
company is continuing it's refunding
operations. The total issue OF the 31as
was 800 900. 900, of which $50, 377, 1893
were reserved to retire old bonds, $14,-
622. 667 for premiums, and the remainder,
s15, 900 900, for new construction after
1903. On January 1, 1903, the amount
of old bonds refunded amounted to about
$50 900 900, for which bonds had been
issued to the extent of SOS, 261. 900. The
present issue brings the total outstand-
ing up to 81 POI 900, which includes the
