THE TITLE MARKET.
Emily Posts New Novel to Run Se-
 riaIly in Everybody's.

A new serial; describing the visit of an American girl to her aunt. who has married an Italian prince, and her eX periences in Roman society, is an nounced by Everybody's Magazine, to begn in the February number. The story is full of action and constant in- terest to American readers, from the moment that the heroine, Nina Ran dolph, leaves her New York home for the steamer.
 ''Nina's father talked with her for some time on various topics: on the beauty of Italy, the charm of the peo- pie; of his admiration for Eleanor Sansevero. But, dearest he ended. one word on the subject of European men: you will probably have a good deal of attention. I don't want to spoil your enjoyment, but you must remember the hard, cold fact that it will be chiefly because you are Miss Millionaire
 " am sure they couldn't be any there than here She began calmly enough. but grew vehement as she continued: How many of the pro posals that I have had from my own countrymen during the past two years have been for me, the girl. and not merely for your daughter?'
 Her father, having stirred up her resntment, now tried to soothe it down.
 You must not get cynical, little girl Every advantage in this world must have its corresponding disadvan tage. I merely want you to follow your extremely sensible and wellbal- anced head. Only, remember he add ed with bantering good humor. I am not over keen about foreigners, so don't bring a little what-is-it back with you, and don't expect because it has a long string of titles dangling to it, that it will be welcomed with any enthusiasm by your doting fatheri So, away with you!' He again looked at his watch. Better get your things to- gether; you haven't any too much time "

THE MARKET BROKE
 UNDER HEAVY SELLING
The Steel Situation Isl Filling Speeu. lators With Suspense.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The stagnation that has prevailed in the stock mar ket changed taday into an active sell ing movement without any counterbal- ancfng demand to meet. A severe in- road on prices was the consequence. The whole marke hinged upon the de- velopment of the steel trade It is gen. orally known that the conferences go- ing on between tn officials of the Steel Corporation are likely to result in changes of the schedule of prices which have been firmly held by the corporation Reports of independent steel companis that were making con- sessions and getting what business is going were met by deprecatory com ments that there were small propor- tions of such business. The position was complicated by the fact that the market prices of the stovk of the Steel Corporation have been held by main force as well as by the prices of it's product. The belief that a position so long maintained by the leading steel interests is about to be abandoned un- edrmined the whole market

MARKET CONDITIONS BY PRIVATE WIRES

New York, Feb. 1S.-The list has been unsettled and lower during the day, the feature being the heavy pressure on the steel issues, attri- buted principally to the insistent talks of a reduction in the prices of finished products. Discussion as to the extent of tariff revision has also been a disturbing influence and the professional element has attacked prices vemorously and succeeded in piercing liquidation on the decline. A great mining pool frightened their loads, accounting for sharp declines in various issues, but at the levels prevailing near the close some sup port was noted, the aggressiveness of the professional would seem to de- note the caution of a good sized short interest and although scattered liquidation has occurred on the de- cline, the securities held by the pub lie are for the most part very well protected and congestion in likely to occur at almost any time when shorts commence to even up their accounts. It is true that conditions do not warrant an extended upper movement of the list, but it should be much to the interest of the large holders of securities to hold prices around prevailing levels until financ- ing of the future is completed and the ease of money is a factor which should tend to work against a ma terial decline.

THE JOINT THROUGH LINE
L. H. Chalmers Starts an Un- dertaking Designed to Com plete Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Central Arizona Enterprise.

L. H Chalmers yesterday under tinental railroad line which will put Phoenix on a through road from the east to the coast, the project first un- dertaken by the Santa F'e and later devolving upon the Southern Pacific through its purchase of the Phoenix & Eastern, and held temporarily in abeyance, presumably by the scarcity of money for railroad construction, due to the panic. In other words, by the time the Southern Pacific can get busy and construct the lire through the canyon of the Gila between Win kelman and San Carlos, the Santa Fe will have its Parker line finished to the western terminal, and the trick will be turned. MT. Chalmers pro- ject is to get the Southern Pacific started, and he is earnest about it.
 His plans were outlined yesterday afternoon to the directors of the board of trade and again last night before the city council, both organizations taking favorable action upon it. MT. Chalmers speeches were prefaced by references to the advantages of such a railroad, which phase of the ques- tion is too well known locally to need exploitation at this time. Everybody along the line of the railroad wants its early completion and regards it as one of the most important developing projects. Mir. Chalmers said his plan came to him by reading a press dis patch to the effect that MT. Hartman q Car Ar, tonic for a three weeks period of rest and simple life, as recreation from his strenuous business duties, and MT. Chalmers plan is to send a deputation of the right kind of people to call on MT. Hartman under these most favor able circumstances, and by facts and figures demonstrate conditions that will surely impel him to undertake this construction at the earliest possi- ble moment.
 In making his remarks, MT. Chal- mers said he made no denial of the fact that he was a local attorney for the Santa Fe railroad, but that the subject in mind is one of his own conception, and he has not conferred with a single Santa Fe official in con- ncetion with it. Further calculating his plan, he said that a committee should be appointed by the board of trade to locate MT. Hartman and dis cover when and where would be the most favorable time to see him; that it should in the meantime prepare a statistical brief by which MT. Harri- man could be readily shown the pres ent business of this section and the prospective bushes in the event of construction; that it should be a busi- ness talk along business lines with business man. He advised that Colonel

Epes Randolph should also be first and his cooperation se- cured. and if possible he should be persuaded to accompany the delegation that called upon MT. liar riman, but that if he refused the dele gation should go any way. He be- lieved in going to the fountain head, or as near it as possible. He be- lieved in making the straight talk in the place where it would be effective, if anywhere He said the Southern Pacific is now spending millions in construction in Mexico, and he be- lieved, if the proper business showing could be made, it would even more gladly spend a little money in com pleting this undertaking and placing 1t on a proper revenue basis.
 The board of trade left the matter in the hands of the transportation committee. which consists of B. A. Fowler. Dr. J. c. Norton and Da. A. J. Chandler, requesting MT. Chalmers also to serve as a member of the com mittee.
 In the evening MT. Chalmers made a similar talk to the city council. and a motion prevailed that the mayor ap- point a committee of three or more to cooperate with the board of trade mittee in this enterprise. The mayor announced that he would announce the committeeman later.

Skinninq Live Snakes.

Very few of the people who are the proud possessors of belts, pocketbooks, card cases, and numerous other arti- cles of snake skin, realize the agony that the demand for civilization for fads has meant to the original owners of the material from which these ar ticles are made, says the March Popu- lar Mechanics.
 It is difficult to skin a dead snake, and the skin is often spoiled in the course of the operation, while, on the other hand, it is a simple matter to skin live snake, and the skin thus gained is worth much more. Dead snakes bring from ? to cents, ac- cording to their size, and live ones from 25 cents to s1.
 One of the largest snake skin com panies has factories in Sumatra- When a snake is received from a hunter it is seized adroitly by an operator. one hand squeezing the neck and the other holding the tail. It is then attached by the neck to the trunk. of a palm tree an assistant holding it by the tail

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Nobody in the local trade pretends to be wise enough to know just what is going on in the local camps of the bull leaders. They sold a little May wheat so as to prevent the price from going above 114 the first hour. Their broker bought quite a little May wheat later in the session, na turally the pit trade cant distinguish between the extentions for ordinary customers and the operations of the leaders. It seems evident from the action of the market that support will be felt any time the price has a declining tendency. It is a market in which trade cannot act on the new failure as they come out without running against Some contrary influ
 ence in the market.
 Kansas City reports rain to be followed by colder weather. We ad- wise the buying side of July wheat on a chance of a crop scare. Soft and unreasonable weather has continued over the corn shipping sections of Illinois. and to sole ex- | tent over the western states, until it has started more or less of a scare among the remaining shorts. Illinois points in some cases report impas-
 sable roads. Strong local people were
 on the buying side of both May and
 July on the advance. These condi- tions over the country will not last long and corn will move freely as soon as roads improve. We believe
 in taking some profits on long corn
 at this level.
 | We advise the placing Of resting
 orders well under this market, to take
 hold of some product at the right | spot for a higher level of prices later | in the season.

How Old is Alice?
She is Is TOdaV

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-It is re-
marked in Washington social circles
today that Lincoln's birthday is also
Alice's, and that young woman,
daughter of the president and wife of
Congressman Mick Longworth, is
the recipient of many gifts and con-
gratulatory messages. 1t may be tell
ing but Alice was born on February
II, 1884, and is consequently 25 years
of age today.
Mrs. LongwOrth will observe the
third anniversary of her wedding to
the Ohio congressman next Wednes-
day. There have been rumOrs of late
that an interesting event, in line with
the presidents well known ideas on
the subject, is expected in the Long
worth family in the not distant fu-
ture, but these reports are impossible
of confirmation. In fact, it is limited
in the highest social circles of the
national capital that Mrs. Longworth
is very Independent and modern in
her views on ethical and sociological
topics, and does not feel constrained
to accept all the theories promulgated
by her father.

A BIRTHPLACE WORTH SAVING.
(By Mark TWainl

There is natural human instinct that is gratified
by the sight of anything halowed by association with
great man or with great deeds So people make pill
grmages to the town whose streets were once trodden
by Shakespeare and Hartford guarded her Charter
Oak for centuries because it had once had hole in
it that helped to the liberties of colony But in
most the connection between the great man or
the great event and the relic we revere is accidental
Shakespeare might have lived in any other town as
we'll Stratford and Connecticut charter might
have been hidden in woodchuck hole well as in the
Charter Oak. But it was accident that planted
Lincoln on kentucky farm halfway between the
lakes and the gulf. The association there had sub
stance in it.
Lincoln belonged just where he was put. If the
union was to be saved it had to be Of such an
origin that should save it. No wntry New England
Brahmin could have done it. or any torrid cotton
planter regarding the distant Yankee as a species
of obnoxious foreigner It needed man of the bor-
der, where civil meant the grapple of brother
with brother and disunon raw and gaping wound.
1t needed who knew slavery not from books only,
but a living thing knew the good that was mixed
with it's evil and knew the evil not merely as it affect
ed the negroes but in it's hardly less baeful influence
upon the poor whites. It needed one who knew how
alike they at bottom who them all reflected
in himself and felt their dssensions like the tearing
apart of his SOUL
When the war came Georgia sent an army in gray
and Massachusetts army in blue but Kentucky
raised armies for both sides. And this man. sprung
from southern poor whites, born Kentucky farm
and transplanted to an Illinois village, this man. in
whose heart knowledge and charity had left
for malice, was marked by Providence as the to
''bind up the nations wounds" His birthplace is
