THEODORE TILTON AS HE AP.
 PEARS AT SEVENTY.
No. 7O9 Chapel Sure ct, Near Orange, NEW HAVEN CONN. Chartered by This State.

Only a few weeks ago Theodore Til- ton, the antagonist of Henry Ward Beecher in 1874, celebrated his seven tieth birthday anniversary in his resi- dence on the Avenue Kleber, in Paris. As a rule his natal anniversaries are marked by gathering of the American literary set Tilton recites a poem or makes an address. This year the func- tion was postponed, and the report went the rounds that the last had been held.
 Mr Tiltion is, however in fairly good health. He may be seen any morning along the Rue de Rivoli, and his color and spirits belle all the ugly rumors. He keeps up his journalistic work though he does not care to have it more particularly identified. From the day the -Beecher jury disagred he has summed the public gaze of his countrymen at home; and it is no kind ness to indicate the present sources of his income, though the Americans read him much oftener than they read some other American correspondents residing in Europe. His contributions appear under various names.
 MT. Triton was asked if it were true that, after his death, the world would be given an opportunity to refresh it's recollections of the sensational litiga- ton of thirty years ago; but he replied that he did not care to discuss the mat ter.
 From another source it was ascer- tained that he has prepared a full statement of the whole difficulty, which will be brought out by leading New York publishing house thirty days after the death of Tilton.-London Cores pondence New York Commercial.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET
Action Indicates Rather More Conserv-
 atism in Speculation.

atism in Speculation.
 New York, Jan. 2.-The action of the stock market to-day indicated rather more conservatism in the speculation than was the case last week even while money rates were ruling at 100 per cent. level. The speculation made pro- gross to-day and there was a broad and active market with plenty of evil dence of strength. The strength, how ever, was in spots and the market showed a large degree of irregularity due to the pressure of profit taking on some of the chief market leaders of last week. The action of the market also showed the strain of maintaining tbe speculative position in the face of hope deferred in the easing of money, The money situation to-day was appre- ciably less acute than last week, but nevertheless the market was undeniably stringent. The rate opened at 50 per cent and there was small disposition to yield below 35 per cent. while the ac- tive operations of the day were still in progress, and belated borrowers made a late rate of SO per cent. This was a distinct disappointment to the hopes of some of the boldest of last weeks spec ulators: Many who took sighting view of the importance of 100 per cent. rate for one day or two days re- gard with less equanimity the possibili- ty of a rate considerably less although still high, should it be maintained for a period of days or even weeks. The money market was less affected to-day than was hoped by the large disburse- ments of dividend and interest money for which provision has been making by the accumulation of cash and by the release of sums gathered into trust companies to strengthen their showing for the annual statement, The money situation in foreign markets, however, eased decisively. Discounts declined at London, Paris and Berlin, sterling ex- change rose at Paris and Berlin and there was a sharp marking down in the price of gold in the London market. The course of money in foreign markets is of importance to the New York situ- ation owing to the very heavy sums borrowed from foreign lenders for the conduct of the speculation here, and which fall due within the next few weeks. The facility with which these obligations can be renewed may have a bearing on the future of the speculation here. Some special effects was produc- ed on sentiment by manifest pressure upon the United States steel stocks, Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper which were influential leaders of last weeks advance. he recovery in the money rate on the demand from belat- ed borrowers late in the day added to disappointment over the small outside participation in the market induced general throwing over of stocks in the final hour which carried the average level below Saturday and wiped out many of the earlier gains. The closing tone was irregular.

Legislators should accept paltry places
at the foot of the list was intensely
repugnant to the Senatorial sense. AS
statesmen representing watchful and ex-
pectant constituents, many of whom ex-
ercise valuable influence in behalf of
their party, they could not consent to
closing the door of hope. Every Con-
gressional di~trict has its share of
elderly and highminded students of the
worlds affairs, men who may have been
rudely buffeted by fortune and who
cherish the hope Of lodging further
cruel strokes by landing in a pleasant
consulate. They are men who have
done yeoman service for their party,
and often they retain connections that
can not he ignored. Are these to be
superseded and thrust aside by pop
injays? Are the oxen that tread out
the corn to be muzzled? Is the accurs-
ed thirst for gold to commercialize the
honorable office of consul, so long the
haven of ancient mariners tempest
tossed on chartless political seas, the
asylum Of Indulgence, the badge OF de-
cayed gentility?

Relations will not have II 90. That

A TWO.FOOt Rat.

A warehouseman at the Oriental
dock, in Baltimore, had the distinc
ton the other day of killing the larg
est rat ever seen along the local water
front. The rodent .-veighed nearly
seven pounds. and from the tip Of his
nose to the end of his tail he measured
two feet.
1t was only after desperate fight
lasting twenty minutes, that the im-
mense rat was killed. For some time
scraps of paper and wood in the tool
room of the warehouse indicated that
a swarm of rodents was at work. Then
C1-, ra2crning, the warehouseman en-
countered the big fellow. With a
broom handle he attempted to put an
end to the rodents life, but the rat
showed fight. Back and forth he
scampered, and when cornered he
rushed at his assailant. Once he hid be-
hind a coil of rope overhead, and then
he dashed at the mans head. The
latter lodged but the rodents sharp
teeth grazed his face. At last the rat
was killed and measurements proved
that he was the biggest ever seen in
port.
The animal is supposed to be spe-
cies found in South America and it is
believed he came here in a ship, all of
which carry many rodents.

Senator Lodges bill providing for
the reorganization of the consular ser
vice has been shorn by the Committee
on Foreign Relations of its most in
cendiary and detestable features-the
provision for examining candidates
for appointment, and this still more
Objectionable section:
THAT whenever a vacancy shall
occur in the Office of consul general
or consul above the sixth ($4,000) class
members Of the two classes next below
that in which the vacancy occurred
shall be deemed eligible to be selecte I
to fill such vacancy"
This was a palpable attempt to en-.
graft the merit and promotion system
unon the consular service, and thereby
to deprive national lawmakers OF their
ancient sacred right to assist the Presi.
dent in selecting consuls general and
high-salarted consuls. A majority of
the committee regard it as the sordid
injection OF commercialism into pure.

OUR SUGAR CONSUMPTION.
Beet Sugar Now More Than Hail the
WORLDS Total Production

OF the more than 1000 million dol
lars worth of merchandise brought In
to the United States during the last
year more than $50 million dollars
worth was sugar. Sugar formed by
far the largest single item in this larg
est importation which the United
States has ever made in any single
year.
The L tied States is increasing
steadily and rapidly its consumption
OF sugar. The sugar producers al
home are increasing their output OF
both cane and beet sugar, but even
their rapid increase in production is
not keeping pace with the increasing
home demand, and as a consequence
the quantity of sugar brought into the
country increases from year to year
1t has doubled in the last twenty years
while population meantime increased
but SO per cent. The annual average
importation during the five-year period
ending with 1885 was 1,031,149 tons
and diving the five-year period ending
with 1905 the annual average was 2,106
043 tons. despite the fact that the sugar
production at home had grown from
176,035 tons in 1885 to approximately
100000 tons in 1905.
The United States Is the largest
sugar-consuming country in the world
though the per capita consumption IN
this country is not as great as in the
United Kingdom. The total consump

The Goo.Goo unIawfuI.

The misdemeanor of flirting is de-
scribed with such particularly of de-
tail and specification in the ordinance
just enacted by the city council of
Houston, Texas, that no masher need
plead ignorance if apprehended in the
act of committing any of the evil
deeds that constitute mis- highly OBJ
jectionable art.
He is not to make remarks at an in
opportune time. nor cough in an in
opportune way, not cast glances of
any sort whatsoever In an inoppor-
tune direction, especially such glances
as are commonly called goo-goo eyes.
which, by the way, are not so accur-
ately described as might be desired.
The said goo-goo eyes, being, we be-
lieve, product of Buffalo, N. Y, are
perhaps not widely known by that
name in Texas, where the masculine
fist has always been rather prone to
knock out any masculine optic that
hath manifested a tendency to the
goo-gooish, whether identified by that
name of classification or not.
Barring this lack of specification
with respect to goo-goo, the law is not
only comprehensive, but so plain that
the maximum fine of 800 may prop
erly be imposed for every proved vio-
lation thereof.-St. Louis Republic.
