ANcTENT ENGLISH INNS.

Somehow one always hears with re- gret that one of England's famous old moss-grown, ivy-clad inns is about to be demolished. The Old King of Prus- sia hostelry is the latest to pass into the housebreaker's hands. This old inn is in Finchley. and from 1757, when the place was built. until the present day the license has been in the keeping of one family-perhaps a record in the li- Icensing annals of England
 The Old King of Prussia is pictur- |esque half-timbered house, and many noted highwayman has partaken of its hospitality. The grandfather of the present proprietor was quite a noted character, having vanquished several notorious highwaymen on Finchley Common. It is on record that he once had an encounter with Dick Turpin.
 Round and about London and its ever extending suburbs there may still be seen inns and taverns of great age and interesting associations.
 The Angel. Inn, Highgate Hill, dates back to the time of the Reformation. Originally it was called the Salutation Inn. It is built entirely of wood.
 Another famous inn is the Bald Faced Stag. at Edgware. Nobody knows when it was originally built, and it would seem as though each successive proprietor has endeavored to place his mark on it's architectural aspect, for many parts of it have evidently at diff ferent times been rebuilt. In the sta bles, it is alleged, Dick Turpin had his horses shoes turned, so as to make his pursuers imagine he had done in an op- posite direction.
 Among the very oldest of suburban London inns are the Plough, at Kings bury Green, and the King James and Tinker Inn, at Enfield. The first is said to be eight hundred and fifty years old, and the latter was reputed to have been first built as an inn and under another name nine hundred and ninety-two years ago.
 It's present name is derived from an encounter which King James I is said to have had with tinker at the door of the inn. The tinker's conversation so pleased the'king that he made the men, der of kettles "a Knight, with five hun dred a year" the records of Enfield in- form us.-London Daily Mail.

YEsrERDAY's STOCK MARKET
Lauguid speculation and Timid Opera
 tioms.

Languid Speculation and Timid Opera
 New York, April 15-To-day was an other day of languid speculation and timid operations in stocks by a small contingent of professional traders, who were not bold enough to follow prices to any distance from last nights level. Outside of professional operations there was little in the market so far as could be detected. The most conspicuous movement of the day was that in Erie, and the steady accumulation of that stock made some impression on the gen. eral list. resulting in rally from the early decline. The buying of Erie was unexplained but the existence of divi- dend holdings In the stock by the same interests as those arrayed in the con- test for the control of Northern Pa cific revived some of the old rumors about the extension of the contest to Erie, which were in circulation at the time of the first contsst in the north west. The early heaviness centered largely in the Pennsylvania group and was due to the announcement of $10,- 000,000 not issue by the Baltimore & Ohio.
 The weeks currency movement in- dicates another extraordinary accumu- lation of cash at this center. The sub treasury operations include both the payments for gold bars exported and for Japanese gold deposited in San Francisco, and have netted to the banks $5, ,1630 000. Besides this, the regu- lar express omvement with the interior has been heavily in favor of New York estimates running to over 5000, 000 Sterling exchange continued very firm and it is considered probable that fur ther gold will be exported at availa- ble opportunities. The exports of grain for the week show a falling off from last week of 640,0O0 bushels for wheat and 445,000 bushels for corn, indicating the contracted supply of commercial bills in the exchange market. The bank of England policy in reducing the dis count rate this week is believed to en- courage the repayment of London ob- lgations to Paris and this would not relax the pressure on New York for gold to Paris. The market closed inert and with insignificant net changes in the general list.
 Bonds were irregular. There was a sharp advance in the Central of Georgia junior issues. Total sales, par value $2, csc, ,OOe

of Domingo, my maid She started life as the best dressmaker in Buenos Ay- res, where she made me a dress for
 Ruy Blas.' I made so great an impress sion on her that she forsook her hus- hand and her business 10 follow me to Europe in the capacity of sewing maid; but, finding she could not see enough of me in that way, she begged me to make her my maid. And I have kept for the last my dear companion and friend, Mile Seylor, whom I brought from America. She is also my pupil, for she. too, acts. and we are always to- gether and the best of friends.
 You wonder how I find time to look through my manuscript? Well, I keep them for the holidays at Belle Isle sur Mer. As for my roles, I only need to read them through once CT twice, and that I do while dressing, driving or anywhere. If they are in verse repeat them to Mile. seylor, but have an ex- traordinary memory.
 As for my painting and sculpture have been forced to put them aside for the present.
 ''Of course. such day as I have de- scribed is an exceptional one. As a rule do not rise before 10 o'clock and then give about an hour to writing, going to the theater about midday. I am under a contract with an English magazine to send it every month an article of 5000 words which is published simutaneous- ly in England and America. I am also writing my memoirs, the material for which I get partly from friends and partly from the press notices which have appeared about me. Of these have something like five large volumes. Lately have been doing the part of my life which preceded my appearance upon the stage. when I was living at Versailles in the convent of Grand chamn.

THE TROUBLE IN A NUTSHELL

Russiays Repudiation g. Challenge to
 Three Powers.
 On April IS, 1902 solemn agreement was signed between the Wal Wu Pu or Chinese foreign office and the Russian minister in Peking which provided for the evacuation of Manchuria. Accord ing to this agreement which is called the Manchurian convention, the evacu- alton was to be accomplished by Rus sla in three steps as follows: The re- glon south and west of the Liao river was to be evacuated at the end of six months from date, the region from the Liao to the Amur provinces at the end of twelve months, and the northern country back to the Siberian boundary at the end of eighteen months.
 The statement that these conditions were fixed between Russia and China in solemn agreement does not imply that they were any more solemn than the agreements of Russia and China have ever been. which are, perhaps, but little less solemn than agreements between many Occidental nations But they were given to the powers and accepted by them notwithstanding the preposter- ous assumption of superior domain which they contained, and those powers were fully persuaded to insist upon their execution.

YALE TRACK TEAM TRAINING
 TABLE.


 TABLE.
 The vacation work for the University track team began on Tuesday when the squad reported to Trainer Murphy at the field. On account of the recent rains the track is in poor condition, but the jumpers have been able to do good work. Trainer Murphy is con- centrating his attention just now on getting the three relay teams-the one mile, two-mile and our-mile-ready for the University of Pennsylvania games, which are scheduled for Saturday, April 23 The makeup of these teams has not yet definitely been decided on Captain Clapp will probably be one of the members of the one-1nile team, and Parsons will run in the two-mile event. Captain Hall, of the Cross Country team, will run in the four-mile
 Judging from the showing made at the different indoor meets, Yale should have strong team and one capable of making very good fight for the cham pionship.

SALE AND LEASE OF STATE land
Board Decides Upon Its Policy for loO4-Sale to
Take Place in Only Four Counties.

Interested persons were Invited to ap-
pear before the board. but no one
came.
Under the present conditions 1t
would not be possible to sell more
than a few thousand acres of this land,
as it is practically all under term
leases, but the leases on about 10000
acres expire Jan. /, 1905, and there
will then be an opportunity for offer
ing a large part of the tract, In the
meantime the members Of the state
board will have ample time to look
the section over and reappraise any
tracts which need a change in mini
mum valuation
There is practically a million and
a half dollars Of state property In
volved, and the board does not be.
lieve in being too hasty in disposing
of it. After a thorough investigation
the board may decide to offer some OF
these lands late the present year, as
the contracts on such sales will not
interfere with the leases which expire
the first of next year. At this time II
would be impossible to investigate the
land thoroughly.

Old Line Companies Seek to Drive Out
MutuaIs


The mutual insurance companies OF
South Dakota and the old line COM
panies seem to have declared rate
war that promises to be sharp and in
teresting. The board of underwriters
Of the mutual companies held meet
ings in Canton at which business was
conducted behind closed doors. and 1t
difficult to ascertain any of their pro-
ceedings except that their meetings
were attended by delegates from all
the mutual companies in the state, and
that the proceedings were warm and
active at times. A sweeping reduc-
ton in insurance rates was made, and
it is thought that there will be lively
times in the insurance camp pretty
soon. The action taken by the mutual
companies is said to be prompted by
a SO per cent reduction In the rates re-
Gently declared by the old line compa-
MES, which is believed to have been
made with the hope Of putting the
mutuals to fight. The latter, however,
declare that they are firmly intrench-
ed in the favor OF the business ele-
ment Of the state, and that they can
more than hold their own against any
onslaught made by the old lines. They
say that there are seven mutual COM
panies in operation in the state, and
that each one Of them has written q
million dollars worth of business dur
ing the last eighteen months, and that
they are making rapid progress from
month to month. Patrons Of insur-
ance companies in this part Of the
state are looking for exciting times
the next year during the insurance
companies doing business in the
state.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1904-01-21

The state lands board. composed OF
the governor. state auditor and COM
missioner of schools and public lands,
met at Pierre and decided upon the
matter Of sales and lease prices for
the coming year. All the lands which
will be offered for sale this year are in
the counties of Sphinx, Beadle, Kings
bury and Brown.
After considering the matter OF
leases 1t was decided to make no
change in prices west of the Missouri
river and to lease only for fve-year
terms in that section. In the Missouri
valley counties east OF the river the
list remains practically the same as
last year In the northeastern portion
Of the state slight advances were
made on lease prices, while in the
southeastern portion a decided ad-
vance was made.
In Marshall county there Is tract
Of about 5000 acres of state land
which practically cuts that county
through the center. and the residents
are DESTROYS that 1t be disposed Of and
placed on the tax list Of the county.
