Wily BalIiff Had Hard Work, but at Last Scored Victory Over the
 Cardinal.

Some time ago very rich old 1tal- ian lady died leaving to her heirs colossal fortune. She was very pious and, first of all, laid upon these heirs the obligation to remit to the vatican 2,00O,000 lire. The heirs were greatly embarrassed by this bequest. They obtained decision which should put the vatican in possession of this leg acy, but neither the pope nor Cardinal Merry del Val would accept it. bai- Tiff was charged with the duty of giv- ing notice of the judgment to the holy see. He was unable to place this pa per in the hands of Plus X. or in the hands of his secretary. He could not approach the holy father and entrance to the apartments of Monsignore del Val was prohibited.
 He then devised a scheme. He learned that the cardinal had gone to bathe in Lake Bracciano. some dis tance from Rome. At the moment

At Swift's pos itive orders Stella kept the marriage secret, for his sake bearing patiently all the snubs and coldness of her neighbors sooner than to disobey her husbands command. Meantime Swift continued to correspond with Vanes- sa, not having the courage to tell her he was married. At last Vanessa hear ing rumors of the wedding, wrote to Stella asking if the latter was really Swifts wife. Stella replied, telling her everything, and forwarded vanes- sa's letter to Swift. The dean was wild with rage. He galloped to Va nessa's home and furiously confront ed the miserable woman. Describing

 Five years afterward, Stella, worn down by Swift's capricious behavior and by the need of keeping secret her marriage, fell ill. As she lay on her deathbed Swift at last consented that their union should be made public. But she murmured: Tt is too late now" and died.
 Stricken with remorse, Swift turned to literary life for solace and won great and greater renown. His say age temper and cynicism daily grew more unbearable. Finally he went in- sane and, after three years of lunacy, died.

STOCKS DROP
OFF SLIGHTLY
(E. W. Hulse & Cos. Market Letter.

(E. w. Hulse & Cos. Market Letter.)
While technically the copper metal
situation Is improving steadily, prices
of all curb securities, among which
are a majority of the copper stocks,
have been inclined to ease of slightly
during the past week In sympathy
with the general movement of stocks
on the big exchange. Politics and
talk of tariff revision have come in
for much discussion during the past
week and their influence has been
detrimental.
Offerings have been small and
what there has been of this has been
well taken care of. Buying has been
principally of stocks which have ex-
perieneed declines and which are fig
ured to recuperate their losses in the
near future. Much of this buying has
been of an investment nature where
as formerly practically all has been
trading. All agree that the copper
situation is well discounted and that
when public interest is once more
awakened this class of securities will
be among. II not the first. to rally.
Semi-offieial statements, purporting
to give the extent of copper curtail-
ment already. show a reduction of
approximately 20, 900, 600 pounds
during the present month and o
tend that curtailment at this rate will
be continued indefinitely. With the
exception that banks are holding
their money a little tigher that they
may be prepared to look after the
handling of crops. when that time ar
riyes, monetary conditions are work
ing toward a satisfactory adjustment
in all parts of the country. This hold
Ing up of money has its evil influence
at present the same as IL will be help
full when crop moving time arrives in
as much as IL makes 1t difficult for
the merchant and manufactures to
carry on business. Providing can
for moving crops is nevertheless the
largest issue at this time of the year
and the fact that IL is now known
that this has been arranged for
should shortly have a beneficial effect
on the general markets. Our quo
tations follow:
