Carlo, Ill. Feb. ia steamboat
man named Williams. whose home is
in Montreal, is patient in the United
States marine hospital here, afflicted
with a disease known as anaesthetic

Of the skin, only a few white patches
appearing on the chest and limbs. The
patient has been In the hospital about
a week, and DR.. G. NJ. Guiteras, sur

secretary OF the Illinois state board of
health, as to what disposition to make

WITH THE EDITORS.
The Applause Of Fame Tardy.


D. NJ Delmas, when he resided in
California, was eminent among us as
a lawyer and an orator, but the rest Of
the country did not take note Of him.
At an advanced age-Delmas must be
well up in the sixties-he goes TO New
York. and in few weeks, by his mas
terful handling OF a celebrated murder
trial he becomes conspicuous figure
to all of the United States and a large
part Of Europe. The New York press
deems him the match Of any man at
the metropolitan bar. From success
full provincial lawyer with a local re-
pute he has developed suddenly into
one of the foremost pleaders in the
nation.
Yet ia San Francisco Delmas has
tried cases that called out more power
and talent from a pleader than the
Thaw case calls out Indeed, the Thaw
case to Delmas, is an easy job. It Is
so inherently dramatic that II does
not require. as another case might the
art of forsenic BeIaseo. And fifteen
or twenty years ago De1mas was pny-
sically superior and intellectually sure
~ not inferior to the Delmas OF today
why. then. was fame So tardy in dis
covering him? How does it happen
that after so brilliant and Industrious
career-for hard work is ait the bot
tom OF Delmas' ecogni-
ton should have come to him in his
old age out of a case that hardly puts
his talents to a strain2
OF course the reason is that in New
York ne is in the focus Of mems minds;
in the center of the stage where the
spot light plays. San Francisco is in
the wings where only a very few can
see a man performing. Geographical
position IS an important factor OF sue
cess. 1t has put mediocre men into the
White House and kept men OF grear
ability and high ambition in private
life There are a number Of practi-
TONERS at the san Francisco bar who
are the equals Of Delmas; but the

NEW YORK LETTER.


New York, Feb 13.-The stock mar
ket resumed its upward movement
after the holiday of yesterday. Prices
started the day strong and higher with
a broader and more geenral activity
than at any Anne in the past two
weeks. The entire list participated in
the advance. OF the chief features.
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
the F'reat Northern ore stocks were the
strongest. These particular specialties
have been laggards during the past
week but today a buying wave APP
peared which brought about a sub
stantial rally of about three points in
the railroad properties and one point
In the ore stock The buying was
ascribed more to shorts covering who
had become too aggressiveIy bearish
than any change in the technical con-
dition of the market.
Union Pacific, St Paul, Copper,
Shelters, Sugar, Baltimore & Ohio,
Atchison and Reading all showed fair
gains for the day, almost every one of
these active shares had an upward
| tendency and closed the day higher
than the opening. Union Pacific being
| especially strong. 1t had an advance
of two points and maintained almost
the entire gain. The directors of Union
Pacific are to meet this afternoon to
decide on the forthcoming dividend.
1t is not believed that the dividend
viii be changed from the prevailing
10 per cent per year.
The industrial shares came in for a
little more activity. particularly loco
motive common and Biscuit. The
! former showed an advance of three
points for the day and the latter a lit
/ tie over one.
The Biscuit company has raised the
dividend on the common shares to six
per cent. This induced considerable
investment buying. The general mar
ket closed exceptionally strong.
