SEYMOUR LECTURE.
Distinguished Educator is Heard
by the High School
Pupils.
HE MAKES TWO APPEARANCES
Addresses on Julius Caesar" and 1.-THE
Passing of the Spaniards in
the Americas"

Yesterday afternoon Prof c. w. Sey-
mour delivered two lectures at the
high school. The first one was to the
students on Julius Caesar" and the
second to teachers and the public on
The Passing of the Spaniards in the
Americas" Both were forcefully and
dramatically delivered, holding the au-
dience intensely interested. Another
lecture will be heard next Wednesday
at p. IN.
In his address to the students Mr.
Seymour said. Julius Caesar was one of
the greatest, if not the greatest man
that ever lived. He had an ambition
which at the age of A started him on
a career that made him what he was.
First at the command of those at the
head of affairs in Rome, he made him.
self a general feared by all who stood
in his path Mr.. Seymour traced him
through his campaign in Asia, Ger
many. France and England until he
had made Rome the master of the
known world His death was caused
not by old age or disease. but by trait
ors to whom he had shown mercy and
kindness.
Spanish Supremacy.
In the second lecture. as the subject
will indicate, Mr.. Seymour traced the
rise and fail of the Spanish supremacy.
Spain has had her day he said.
When the sun shone with her zeal and
shed its glory over the whole world.
with her great naval battles she won
the title of mistress of the seas, but
she quickly fell away from this glory.
for as her kings degenerated. 50 went
also her power" He told of the vast
resources and lands controlled by her,
and of how one after the other they
secured independence and broke away.
He described the great battles and the
great leaders until, all. Chilli. Peru,
Mexico and the Indies had broken
away from the yoke of Spain, with the
exception of Cuba and the manner in
which control of that isle was lost in
modern history.

TO BENEFIT SCHOOLS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 1.-Union Pa
ciic, which. on comparatively light sales.
sold at 1872, was not able to carry with
1t Southern Pacific. which hung around
BON during the first hour OF trading. The
market ostensibly hung fire because of I'M
certainty as to the bank statement, which
1t was believed would be one OF the poorest
Issued within two years.
Atchison common was strong on reports
that the directors were to give it 2h per
cent regular and "a per cent extra, bringing
the dividend to per cent per annum. with
out obIigating the company to the payment
OF more than D per cent per annum. There
are $0O.OOO.000 of per cent bonds. which
are convertible into common stock at par.
and IL is believed that a large part of the
recent buying Of Atchison was by holders
of the bonds. At the present price Of the
stock the conversion would yield a hand
some return, and, In view of its POSSIBLE
ties, 1t would seem that the convertfbles
themselves should command q higher price
than they are selling for at present.
Prices from London this morning were
pro forma, and the close there on the curb
was without meaning. for the reason that
Londoners are unwilling to assume obliga-
lions while money Is in such an uncertain
state here. and with a two days holiday be-
fore us. Call money in London was NOM
irally to IA per cent, but toward the
close of business today there was no de-
mand and these quotations were nominal.
St Paul was strong and was not affected
fnimicably by the announcement by the
New York stock exchange Of the company
increase of common stock from $5S, 1S3, 900
to $50, 1873, 800. The national banks of the
country Increased their circulation to the
extent OF 81 800. 043 during the week. The
government receipts were slightly in excess
of expenditures for the same period of time.
Money at Chicago Is one-half per cent high
er, rates today being quoted there at per
cent on call. and nominally the same rate
for thirty to sixty days.
. The bank statement was much better
one than had been expected by the street.
1t was believed pretty generally that the
small surplus of last week would be turned
into a deficit result of the transact
lions during the present week, while the fig
ures show that there Is still margin.
Enough an uncomfortably narrow one, to
the credit of the clearing house banks.
Following the appearance of the state
ment there was all-around improvement in
the market, which was led by Union Pa
cif1c.
