 M,.or Grade stocAs OnIy.

A Stagnant condittan-hovem in
 Minor Grade stocks OnIy.
 New York. March S.-To-days stock market was stagnant. It was only in stocks of minor grade and which are usually obscured market that move ments were distinguished at all. There were a few advances of a. point or more in this class. These advances gave the impression of frmness in the mar ket, which would have been otherwise without any tone.
 The fixture of the date on or before March 25 for paying over the govern ment deposits to be used in the Panama canal payments opens the way for clearing up one of the uncertainties hanging over the market. The $10000,- GOO paid over to the Panama republic contemplates withdrawing only 20 per cent. of it's payments from New York, leaving $S.O0o,O0O for investment here. The transfer of the remaining $40O0O, 900 is expected also to increase the money supply in New York both by transfers from interior government de- positaries and by payment from the sub-treasury. But the effect of the ac tual distribution to the canal company shareholders is a more abstruse prob lem in It's probable effects. The ac- emulation of exchange already made by the bankers having the operation in charge and the proportion of Panama canal shares already held in this coun- try are the factors looked to to modify the effect of the payment. This opera tion and the movement of gold to Arr genuine and of currency to Chicago, both of which continued to-day, were without appreciable effect on the money market, although sterling exchange was rather firner. Overtures towards e settlement of the freight rate war were reported, but so were fresh cuts in rates. The adjournment of the soft coal joint scale committee without an agreement deepened the apprehension of strike. The Paris settlement is of less engaging influence, which will not be entirely dissipated until next week. Bonds were steady. Total sales par value $1,035. 900.

LAW AND LAWYERS.
Interesting Paper by Attorney Lewis
 B. Stanton.


 E. Stanton.
 An interesting paper on "Recollec- tions of Law and Lawyers" was read before the Connecticut Historical so- ciety Monday evening by the Hon. Lewis E. Stanton of Hartford.
 He first spoke of English lawyers with particular reference to Erskine. Of American lawyers he told of David Paul Brown of Pennsylvania, and gave anecdotes of many leaders of the Amer ican bar. Mr. Stanton said that this state had been justly famous in regard to her law schools, no state in the Un- ion giving a man better legal educa- ton. He spoke of John T. Wait of Norwich as one of the brightest men of many resources he had ever met, and gave many instances of his wit In clos ing he said:
 Perhaps the highest mark of our profession is the independence of the attorney Within certain well-defined limits the advocate stands in place where he knows no fear. Lawyers in all ages have stood for liberty and the rights of man. They instinctively de- fend the weak There is no nobler work than the task which a lawyer sets for himeslf when he takes up the cause of the poor against those who are en- trenched behind money and power lie may suffer many defeats, but he will rise above them all. Courts may put him down or rebuke him, but if his cause is just it will win it's way through the courts. Wit and quick repartee is not given to all. But to each of us the path of persistent industry lies open. Many times it happened that more patient plodder who makes no pretense to genius will come to the front and in some legal and forensic contest will carry off the highest prize
 At the business meeting new mem bers were elected as follows Mrs. Mary Bulkeey Brainard and Gilbert W. Chapin of Hartford; Charles E. Beach of West Hartford, and William F. Hopson of New Haven

THE SYMPHONY CONCEPT.

Tn spite of the indictment weather yes terday afternoon WOolsey hall was fill- ed with very large audience. the oc- caslon for which was the fourth sym phony concert. It was a notable pro- gramme which was presented. Dramatic from beginning to end, was the music. which came from Beethoven. Weber, Wagner, and Tschaikowski- The solo- ist of the afternoon was David Bispham, who is so we'll known to New Haven audiences. Ludwig Hoffman deserves mention as a soloist in the serenade for strings and cello written by Volkman. Beethoven's dramatic overture to Egg mont began the concert. It is stirring and masterful, and was well played un- der the efficient direction of Dr. Parker. Weber's scene and aria from Euryan- lthe Mir. Bisphafn presented as his first number. This composition is a tremen- dous feat for orchestra, as well as for the violin. Mir. Bispham. who seemed 10 be suffering from a cold. sang, nev- ertheless, superbly. His magnificent voice with a thorough understanding of tone production and adequate dramatic interpretation compels one to place him in the role of the greatest singers of to- day. His enunciation was faultless. All through the aria he maintained the proper temperament.
 Such a deafening applause greeted him that he responded with an encore, that charming old English ballad Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" | MT. Hoffman, who played the cello solo in Volkman's serenade has been with the orchestra all the winter, and has been Of most valuable acquisition. In his solo yesterday he displayed good lintonation, adequate technique and charming pianissiino control. His efforts evoked hearty applause.
 In Wagner's Wotan's Farewell from Die Walkure. MT. Bispham again rose to heights of tonal eloquence. In this also he executed the beautiful magnetic music of Wagner with consummate skill. The orchestra which had a hard task in this role as also in the aria by | Weber, accompanied very well, although at times it was not quite subservient enough to the singer. MT. Bispham was again obliged to respond after this solo and sang most beautifully The Even ing Star" from Tannhauser.
 l Tschaiskowsky' sixth symphony, known as Pathetic, closed the concert of the afternoon. The symphony is one of fathomless intensity and sorrow. reliev- ed by tremendous whirls of passion. The orchestra played with insipration breath and full balance tone. The band seemed to be sufficiently prepared to un- dertake such a difficult composition. Dr. Parker's reading of the score was in- spired, and held the men under splendid control to which they responded with unanimity of attack with tonal finesse.
 As a sign of musical development it can be said that at each concert the or chestra is one step nearer the goal of perfection.
 The next concert will be held at Wool- sey hall on the afternoon of April IA.

 The successful man is he who takes advantage of his opportunities. The unsuccessful one is he who permits the opportunity to go by without availing himself of it's advantages.

Not a Crime to Marry.

"The law that married woman shall
not teach in the public schools is fool
ish and tyrannous." This was the We
hement declaration of Dr. Waite, in
the discussion Of resolutions presented
at the New York Legislative League by
the president, Mrs. Lille Devereux
Blake. The resolutions were called
forth by the case of Mrs. Jennie Van
dewater. public school teacher, who
has lately been brought before the
Board of Education for disobeying the
law that a woman shall net continue to
teach after she is married. Several OF
the league members regarded this case
as special one, and declared that be-
cause of Mrs. Vandewater's unusual
ability in helping defective children
she should be retained. Others, with
DIR. Waite, thought the law was cruel
in any case. and confined the privi-
leses of an intelligent woman"

Best In the World.

10 years with Kidney Disease which
finally turned into Bright's Disease I
was treated by Doctors in Chicago but
they didl't do me any good. The best
Doctor in Estherville treated me for
five years with no better success. l

made up my mind to give them trial.
Il am very thankful to be able to
say that they cured me completely
and think they are the best medicine

The honest, earnest, straightfor-
ward experiences of real living men
and women are the only material used
in advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills.
One such testimony Is worth more
than thousand unsupported claims.
The people who have used Dodd's
Kidney Pills are those whose evil

But what she would have thought
was broken into by sudden exclama-
ton from farther back in the wagon.

upon the ground on either side of the

Whoa, boys" he called to the
.sOrses, which were too weary to note
that they were no longer asked to go
farther on. Then the driver got de-
liberately down.
"Well turn out here" he said. strik-
ing his heel upon the ground with
significant gesture. as was an uncon.
scious custom among the men who
chose out land for themselves in a
new region. "We'll stop here for a

Drugs Fail In Pneumonia.

Drug treatment is useless in cases
Of pneumonia. The medical profession.
so far as medicines are concerned. can
be of no assistance in the fight against
this disease. The sooner the profession
will acknowledge this to the public and
set to work to discover some specific
to save pneumonia patients, the better
for all concerned"
This startling statement by DR.. A. d.
Bevan, who stands high in the profess
sion, stirred up members of the Chicago
Medical Society at their meeting.
Several physicians spring to their
feet to protest against this arraign-
ment. All had to admit, however. that
there is no definite remedy known. and
they based their protests solely on the
contention that they might influence
the patient favorably by giving some
ease and by the moral effect of their
presence.

WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
That Is Why the American Govern
ment Is So Strona.

Some time ago a committee OF Brit
ish educators called the Mosely Com
mission. visited this country to inyesti-
gate Its public school system. One OF
these commissioners at banquet Civ
en- them in New York City was seated
next to Brander Matthews and re-
marked: Il am beginning to think you
educate the people very well here" Mr..
Matthews replied: mot at all, we are
the people and we educate ourselves. !"
After considerable reflection the Eng
lishman said. he thought that remark
gave him the key to the mystery be-
tween America and the rest of the
great nations of the world. Yes, that
ss the mystery, which is no mystery
at all to Americans. In almost all
other countries rulers are born as such
under the old superstition of the di-
vine right of kings" while in the
United States all citizens are rulers by
the divine right of the people" and
this has proved so successful as to
place this country in the very fore
front OF the nations of the world in lit
tie more than century.
OF course. there are bitter political
nights here, which seem to foreigners
to threaten the stability of the govern
ment, but they merely serve to purify
the political atmosphere. But no mat
ter how bitter the struggle and the con-
sequent disappointment thereon, to the
defeated party, no man dreams of a
possible change of the American form
OF government. That has long since
posed beyond the domain of discus
sion. 1t is settled forever, God save
the people. Santa Fe New Mexican.
