A man in Cincinnati bought a bar rel of whiskey thirty-five years ago and kept it in a third story dry room, well ventilated, and in all the intervening period used only one pint for testing. There remains to-day only one and four-fifths gallons of the original thir- ty-five the rest being lost through evaporation, says the New York Press. A celebrated physician says: "One small drink of this whiskey contains more electricity and rejuvenating prop critics than any medicine that can be prescribed" As to quality, connois- seurs agree that this whiskey, consider ing it's pure distillation and great age, < is the finest in the world, and that no king or emperor or the Rothschilds, Morgans, Vanderbilts, Astors.

The Rev. Minot J. Savage sounds a note quite out of harmony with the general tone of criticism of divorce. He sees in divorce an agency which is used almost always in the interest of oppressed women, and believes that the large number of divorces is, there- fore, altogether to be welcomed, as it gives women 'another chance for a free, sweet, wholesome 1ife." He ar gues that the divorce laws are abused, but not in nearly so many cases "as the frightened ministers of a great many of our churches seem to imag- ine.,'

: Landlords liability insurance is the newest wrinkle in the hotel and insur- ance business. The New York hotel keepers in particular are weary of try ing to guard their patrons from rob- berries, which are largely facilitated by the vast dimensions and numerous en- frances of the new sky-scraper hostel ries. Guests of hotels who happen to be robbed are averse to remaining in the city to testify against the thieves who may be caught, and they are sel. dom punished. The hotel patron who is the victim prefers to keep still and let the hotel-keeper reimburse him for his loss which is required by law to the amount of $500.

Ian Maclaren, in a recent address de- livered in Central Hall, Manchester, England, says the Congregationalist, ''ventured to put in plea not often used for rich people and scholars" He spoke of the oft-repeated warning against culture as endangering the simplicity of the faith, and added "Yet I stand here to remind you that when our Lord had been crucified, and the question was whether His body was to be flung to the dogs or was to be buried, it was not the apostles or the people or any of these who had rushed after Him, but g. capitalist of Jerusa- lem and scholar from the university that had the courage and the love in them to take the body of our dear Lord and bury it with honor against the day of His resurrection

Secretary Cortelyou tells of an Eng lishman whoswas out West in the early days and fell in with long train of prairie schooners. The leader of the caravan, according to "The Buffalo Commercial,'''' announced that he and his fellow emigrants were going to found a town, having everything that was needful and nothing that was un- necessary. ''We won't have any waste he said. '"There isn't a person in our party who won't do some inn portant duty in the new town" The Englishman pointed to an old and feeble man, with 8 bent back and a long, thin, white beard. But that very old man there,'' he said; ''he can't pos sibly be of any use to you, can he?' "Oh, yes,'' said the leader "We open our new cemetery with him.

railroad system is in contemplation, but the identity of the railroad intended shifts constantly in the surmises current in the market. St. Paul and Atchson were both pointed to at different periods today while the New York Central suffered some decline, having a dragging effect on the rest of the list. The coming lead merger which is assuming definite shape was a contributing effect in the stocks immediately affected The movement in the southern group of railroads was helped by the general growth in the cotton movement and the encouraging reports from the wheat belt was a supporting medium in the market. The easing of the money market encouraged the reason ing of the speculative element that there is plenty to go around for all their pur- poses. The demand for exchange lifted the price a liberal fraction. The extent of the days advance invited considerable real izing, and the market closed irregular and generally below the best.

BROADENING SHOWN
 IN STOCK MARKET Spotty Tendency Amongst the
 Railroads Persists STEEL MAKES RECORD PRICE Movement is Based on the Extraor- dinary Activity In the Iron and
 Steel Trade-specuative Party Formed.
STEEL MAKES RECORD PRICE

New York. April 6.-The stock market broadened out today Into a much bet ter distribution of strength, and there was a decided growth in animation as well. The tone of the railroad list was not so distinctly different from that of the industrials as was the case yesterday, snd earlier in the week, but there per sisted rather spotty tendency amongst the railroads.
 The melting influence to the notable revival of speculative interest was the organized movement in United States Steel preferred, which stcck was rushed up to a record price by rapid steps on an enormous accumulation. This move ment was of course based on the extraor- dnary activity and prosperity in the iron and steel trade. But this is not a new de- yelopment. nor is there an immediate fu- ture situation in that trade. It was ip- ferred, therefore, that this suddenly az Rressive tone developed by the stock was due to the formation of a speculativ , party to conduct market operations, rather than a spontaneous spread over night through the country at large of a desire to buy the stock
 The preliminary rise in London, and the complete buying of the stock here. car Tied the impression that the campaign has its ratification abroad, well as in this country The obvious nature of the op- eration did not have deterrent effect at all on the sympathetic influence of tho movement amongst the speculative ele- ment for some time tlnt the United States Steel stocks were neglected and compar- atively unresponsive to the unprecedented trade conditions in that industry, the eff feet being to suggest some unknown con- dition back of the superficial situation which might prompt ultra conservatism on the part of the insiders in the cor poration. The relief offered by todays de- velopmeN from the dampening effect on the general list of the siuggishness of the bulky and unweldly steel issues was very quickly manifest throughout tho market
 The purpose of the s1OO, O,oO0,O0O increase in Union Pacific stock was as much a mystery as when first announced, and the wide range of conjecture on this point was potent influence on the speculation in various stocks. The opinion is general that the acquisition of control of-another

Ware 6 Ls,ar:. Market Letter.

The market seems to have alternate days of strength and weakness. This was che of the latter, and October ran down to 770 after selling at 7S0 yester- day and 7.80 early in the day. It was the same narrow irregular set of affairs with the only change being that in May.
 May did not seem to be as strong as heretofore. This may be due to a genu- inc effort on the part of holders to get out. or it may be due to desire to shake out any holders in May
 At any rate the May premium is artifi- cial, and the market would be healthier if July went to ten point premium, as 1t should do under normal conditions
 October weakened today on better weather. The tone of the market was easier than for two days. but those most in touch with the situation fail to see the least change in the general position.
