The Dreamer.

He sat alone in his attic room. His
head was bowed, his face tense and
hard, his eyes seemed to look into the
unfathomable depths of the future. In
the gloom of the dying day he too
seemed to feel that even as the warn
light was fading away so was his sun
of hope and ambition setting forever
Failure after failure had beon his UNI
just reward, yet eveR--as he felt the
presence of the spectre then at his ell
bow, waiting until he should say II
fail" new light seemed to shine from
out his wearied eyes, Visions passed in
QUICK succession, the dark visaged
phantoms of failure faded slowly away;
new forms appeared before him; he
saw ray of the sun of success shine
upon the dark shadows; again he saw
almost within his grasp the god of his
hopes. He sprang suddenly to his feet,
his whole life seemed to on fire, Then
summoning all his strength he cried:
Eureka! The Dougles Patent Closet Is
guaranteed against leakage and the
annoyance of running water"

THE CUBAN TREATY.

The Cuban Treaty has caused very great deal Of frc

ahead From the point of of the sugar raisers the
United States whether beet growers growers the
prospect of free sugar from Cuba, the greatest
growing country in the world, could only appear dsas

opposition.
Were Cuba integral portion of the United States
governed by the laws concerning labor the matter
would be entirely different But Cuba is an integral
part of the United States Independent Republic

puts the sugar growing portions of the United

There is nothing to prevent Cuban planters from run

may desire To those unacquanted with the population

DIPLOMATIC LANGUAGE,

French continues to hold its own as diplomatic Ian.
2uage when the many Ongued European powers meet for
discussion French is to be the official language of the
Hague tribunal The day will came when English and
not French will have to be the International language
The use of French diplomatic language dates from
the time of Louis XIV when French fashion, French
literature French cooking all eagerly copied and
French influence and French alike dominated every
court in Europe, great or small.
In those days built dozens upon dozens of palaces
modelled upon Versailles One can see these imfafions
of French grandeur in every country in Europe for the
admiration for such models long after the Great
Louis in his grave You it in the name of Ere
dericks Sans Souc you can still see it in the widowed
palace of the anOveran kings you can trace if in the
imperial garden of Peterhof finds no home in Great
Britain,
With this over shadowng of French Standards came
the shadOwing of French language Latin had been
the diplomatic language of Europe and Latin Secretary
was an important post in every government through
his hands passed all diplomatic correspondence and
der his eye came all correspondence from abroad Milton
was Latin Secretary of England during part of his life
French replaced Latin and it became necessary part
OF the equipment of any person of culture speak
write French Whatever else they might not know at
least they had to know French and some fearful and
wonderful French it was, reference to documents
@nd correspondence of the eighteenth and early nine
teenth centuries will show
OF late years the tendency has been away from the
French language but when European polygotism meets
some vehicle of speech has to be chosen, and
French still holds its lead BY the end of this century
that lead will be lost in all probability.

burglar in evening dress, who suddenly
appeared in her rooms on the BOule-
ward de Port Royal without knocking
at her door or being announced by her
servant. The actress was preparing
to retire for the night when she heard
strange noises in her drawing room.
Going in there she found herself face
to face with tall dark man in evening
dress and soft slippers, who appeared
to be about 40 years old. AS the ac
tress entered the stranger dropped on
one knee and made a declaration Of
love. He said that he had watched
her on the stage with admiration, that
he had tried to see her at the theater
and having failed to do so had re-
solved to enter her residence, even at
the risk of being taken for a burglar.
The actress was much annoyed, but
believing the mans story allowed him
to go away without raising any alarm.
The stranger disappeared quickly when
the door was opened for him and the
actress subsequently found that before
she had Etald his footsteps in her salon
he had broken open her Louis Quinze
table there and distracted from the
drawers all her money and some
jewels.

STORY FROM COMMISSION ROW
Aristocratic Texan Potatoes Arrive I'm
Town with some show of
HRuRhtinesE.

A car load of naughty young texan
potatoes rolled into market yesterday,
the new comers being OF the pink -blooded
bliss-triumph family who expect TO find
ready and permanent engagement in this
city at cents per. Blss-triumph is a
double barreled expression OF the potatoes
attitude this spring toward the other
vegetables with which II associates The
old line white potato is on the bum just
now. the southern pinks being about the
only new representatives OF the spud on
the market. The local have been too busy
being planted to do anything yet, and the
Kaw valley, where perhaps the largest
number of little whites come to a hill and
go out in the world. has not yet been towed
ashore along the Gulf coast So the
potato will continue an aristocrat. The
Texans have had as much trouble with
water as is usual with Texans and the
first delayed lot came through Saturday
in their ark. Some pale-faced CALIFORNIA;
will be in soon.
Nebraska Strawberries are rolling in with
exceptional strength and on account Of
cheapness of production will get the price
down again in few days. The oranges
on the market have shown commendable
business enterprise during the period when
fruits prices have had to go so high to
keep out of reach of the water, and coming
in from the western highlands have been
able to beat almost everything else to the
breakfast table. getting there before the
mush and pickles. New apples are expected
to come up from the south in a week or
two. Meanwhile the last of the crop, which
has been hard at work through the winter
is anxious to retire at $3.50 or s. a barrel

WILL REPORT ON SINEcURES
Real Estate Exchange Committee In
vestigHtinE Some Matters
Mt City Hall.

At the meeting of the Real Estate ex-
change today a committee consisting
of w. 7. Graham, Ernest Sweet and d. v.
Sholes will report on the question of sine
cures at the city hail. The matter was re-
ferred to this committee two weeks ago
and would have been reported on last week
but the visit OF the city officials, who were
invited guests at the meeting, made such
report out of order. The matter TO receive
particular attention is the deputies to GER
tain appointive officers, notably the deputy
license inspector and the deputy building
inspector. 1t has been reported by one of
the elected city officers that the principal
duty of the deputies is to draw pay. The
exchange wants to learn the facts The
committee is making an investigation in
order to complete its report and while It
will probably have no recommendation to
make to the exchange, it may have some
suggestions. So far no member of the COM
mittee has intimated the results of the in
vestigation and this will not be done until
the report is made.

YoUNGMAN MAY FEEL EASIER
HIS Former Wife withdraws Petition
to Have His Divorce Decree
Set Aside.

Mrs. Jennie L. Youngman yesterday
withdrew her petition in the case of James
d. Youngman against Jennie L. Young
man, in which a divorce was granted the
plaintiff a few months ago. and by so doing
relieved her former husband OF consider
able trouble. According to the petition
filed by the defendant in the case, after
the divorce was granted the defendant, he
fore the expiration of six months from the
granting of the decree, went TO Iowa, where
he again married. Mrs. Youngman then
moved to set aside the decree granted,
alleging Irregularities in the service had
upon her. Had her petition been granted
Youngman would have found himself the
husband of two wives and subject under
the Nebraska law to punishment for that
offense.

Provisions Are Dull and Featureless

CHICAGO, June 9.--Business in the grain
and provision markets was rather quiet
today, but closing prices were firm, July
wheat being up no July corn Nc higher and
oats also up Ac, while September provis-
Ions were from 5dI7lzc to INC higher
There was quite general commission house
selling OF wheat at the opening, due TO the
Improvement in weather conditions and the
initial sales on July were unchanged TO &c
lower at 75hu75hc. There was little fea-
ture in the early trading, liquidation by
thousands and selling for short account be-
Ing most noticeable. The general iear vas was
that the government report would snow
more favorable conditions than expected
and this caused much of the selling A
better feeling was displayed the last halt
of the session and the commission houses
bought quite freely, while there was also
covering by shorts, which advanced prices.
75A the top figure Of the day. Clearances
OF wheat and -four were equal to 1880 bu.
Primary receipts were 26l,6O0 bu., against
265,JO0 bu year ago Worlds visible sup
ply, according to Bradstreet's, showed an
Increase of 10000 bu. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported receipts OF 80 cars when,
with local receipts of 46 cars, Of contract
grade, made total receipts for the three
points of 40 cars, against 5i5 cars last week
and $50 cars a year ago
Generally favorable weather conditions
brought out a considerable selling pressure
In corn at the start, the opening prices be-
ing easier. Country acceptances were bet
ter than expected, and this, together with
the early depression. There was fair de-
mand from the commission houses through
out the day which prevented any serious
decline, and later in the session, on an
added demand the market became firmer
After selling between 4715c and 4S1sc, July
closed Lc higher at 4Slsc. Local receipts
were AZ cars, with u Of contract grade.
oats were influenced some by the favor
able weather. but the most important factor
was the selling Of good sized line of Sep
tember by a prominent holder. While the
feeling in general was quite bullish, traders
were indisposed to do much business, the
uncertainty regarding the coming govern
mcnt crop report being the restraining in
fiuence. July closed &c higher at 361sc
after selling between 35bc and 36lzc. Local
receipts were 300 cars.
Trading in provisions was exceedingly
dull and without any features. An advance
OF 10c in the price OF hogs had strength
ening influence early in the day and, al
though there was some liquidation late in
the day, most Of the gain was retained
September pork closed TIC higher. Septem-
ber lard was 567Ikc higher at $780, and ribs
were up 56I71kc at s9.221ad925.
Official receipts yesterday were: Wheat

CATTLE-There was quite a liberal run
of cattle here this morning. but none too
many to meet the requirements OF the local
trade. Buyers were all out early and the
market was active from start to finish and
the bulk of the arrivals was disposed of be-
fore the middle of the forenoon.
Beef steers made up by far the large pro-
portion of the receipts the same as has
been the case for some time past. The
market opened active and strong and soms
OF the more desirable grades sold at prices
that looked 5@10c higher than yesterday.
AS high as S was paid for a prime bunch
of cattle weighing 1860 pounds, and for an
other bunch weighing l,47S pounds. All
kinds of cattle, the heavy as well as the
handy weights, sold to good advantage and
an early clearance was made. The bulk OF
the fair to good steers now coming forward
are selling from $40 to 1885, with choice
grades from $40 to S. The common cattle
sell largely from "a to $25.
The COW market was also acuVe ana
strong. Receipts were again very hght, SO
that practically everything was disposed OF
at an early hour. Buyers all had liberal
orders, and there did not seem TO be near
enough cows and heifers on sale to NIL their
requirements. There were quite rev extra
choice COWS and heifers included in the re-
ceipts, and as there is good demand Tor
choice stuff very satisfactory prices were
paid. The bulk of the fair to good COWS
sell from 1925 to g. with good TO choice
largely from 81 to A.25, with tancy graoes
