sTANLEYs STORY OF FOUR
 FINGERS.

No better epitone of stanley's career has been conceived than that given by himself in his story Of four fingers" On his return from finding Livingstone. he said. he had the honor of a public reception by the Royal Geographial Society. and the especial honor of being presented ito an exceedingly distingu- ished parsonage in the scientific world. l" who regarded him with eondescending favor, and even went so far as to shake hands with him. He gave me, '' said Stanley. "one finger" After his second and third adventures, his exploration of the lakes and his open ing of the Congo to civilization. he was again publicly received. and this distin- guished parsonage regarded him with even more favor than before. Again he shook hands with him. He gave me two fingersl" Once more Stanley went to Africa, to rescue the faithful Emin, and on his return he was third time publicly received. third time the distinguished parsonage condes- cended to smile upon him, still more approvingly than before, and a third time to offer him his hand. He gave me three fingersl" Yet once more Stanley appeared in public, with fair companion, Miss Dorothy Tennant. who few moments later was Lady Stanley. There. once more, the dis Itingushed parsonage was present, and so far eendescended as to beam upon him with unreserved approval.
 The throng was too great for me to get near him." said Stanley, but have no doubt that, had I been able to do so, he would once more have offered me his hand, and on this occasion he would have given me all four fingers"
 In his tale were set forth, perhaps with half-uneonscious frankness. the weaknesses as well as the strength of his character. the changing attitude of the great world toward him, and the steadfastness of his own soul.
 When he concluded, Gentlemen, the story of those four fingers is the story of my life the listener felt that he knew him then as never before. New York Tribune.

FASHIONS IN JEWELS.

Pendants. Pearl Earrings, and Broad
 Bracelets in Vogue Once More.
 The single pearl stud is no longer the most fashionable ear ornament. More modish is one with a pearl-shaped drop, and lately there has arisen a demand for a very leng pendant made of a single stone cut in the melon form
 Gypsy rings are promised vogue when the season is a little further ad- vaneed, but they are less large than they were. and are indented at the tops instead of being a perfect circle,
 Quaint early Victorian fashions are bringing into vogue, or trying to do so. quaint early Victorian forms of jew elry. Broad bracelets are among them; one of them resembles cuff in shape. and is called the gauntlet bracelet. It is made of lattice work of diamonds or pearls, and is very light in appearance.
 Designs are also being borrowed from other Louis Quinze and Louis Seize periods, from which the dressmakers evolve so many lovely notions. But 1t must be remembered that any pecu- lar or grotesque form of jewelry in the way of bracelet is only suitable with full dress costumes.
 Old cameos are being set again in dull gold rims in medallion form, and lucky jade is being worn with con meeting links of stiffened gold chains, Girls who like odd bits of jewelry should look out for the handkerchief holder. It is tiny ring worn on the little finger to which is attached fine gold chain, which is long enough te reach to the palm of the hand. At the end of it is fastened jeweled clasp which securely holds a little handker- chief with lace border.

YESYEKDAY,S STOCK MARKET

Some stand Against Depression--De-
 cIines Wiped Out.
 New York, May 13.-The stock mar ket made some stand against depres- sion to-day, and early in the day some recovery was effected from yesterday $ sharp declines. The firmness was help led by some light buying for foreign account, London continuing to show 3 wholesome tone, with declining money market. The news over night of the fixing of the amount of the New York Central debenture bond issue al $50, GOO, ,000 instead of $30,000,000 as was understood yesterday, was not stimu- lating to the general market, owing tc the inroads upon money resources in dicated. But New York Central stock itself was little affected until the late break in prices. The decision to issue debenture bonds puts a claim on earn ings ahead of the stock. But the fact that the bonds are underwritten and the sale of treasury stock thus avoid- ed seemed to be favorably regarded by stockholders as preventing an increase in the market supply of the stock. The trunk line stocks, generally, were prob- ably affected to some extent by the threatened tie up of lake traffic, owing to the dispute between the Masters and Pilots association and the Lake Carriers association. The arrival in San Francisco of consignment of $2,- 250 OOO, which may be made immediate ly available to New York banks by Photographic transfer promised an alle- viation from the gold drain. The clos ing of subscriptions to the Japanese loan, and the prospect of early allot- ments will probably put a stop to the Japanese gold exports. The two point rise in Amalgamated Copper had some sentimental effect in sustaining the early market, although it had no ex- planation beyond the usual vague ru- mors of a settlement of litigation of copper interests. United States Steel preferred also got nearly a point over last nights level. But the pressure was renewed upon the steel stocks as the day progressed. The volume and the mystery of the source of this sell ing have very unsettling influence and seem to be regarded as a Dortend ket. The common stock made success sive new low records down to S-s,

without the slightest apparent effort at support. The forecast of the weeks currency movement made a less for midable showing than was feared. in view of the enormous gold movement of the week. Large receipts from the interior have been a partial offset and the gold to go by to-morrow's steamer does not figure in the estimate, and will not in the weekly bank statement.
