FITTINGS THAT NEVER DE-"

The fine the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to worthless prayer,
The streams Of love and TRUTH
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes,
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves a friend indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens high;
The sorrow of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to dc;
Lose not a chance to waken love
Be firm, and just and true;
So shall a light that canot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.

Berlin, Aug. "A decision of inter-
est to American travellers has been
handed down by the Imperial Supreme
Court at Leipsic, which rules that the
Travellers Checks issued by number
of American institutions and widely
used by American tourists in Europe
are subject to the regular stamp tax
on commercial paper when cashed in
Germany The decision was taken in
the suit brought by the German branch

to recover $3.50 stamp taxes collected
by the Hamburg taxation authorities
on Travellers Checks so cashed, the
Supreme Court holding with the courts
of lower instance that the so-called

Four Catholic priests have just been
sentenced to six months imprisonment
by the military court at Diedenhofen,
Lorraine, under peculiar circum-
stances. In April they were called
out along with the reserves for short
period of military training. AS they
were not regular reserves, but substi-
tutes, they appeared in body at head
quarters and asked to be excused. The
captain in charge CURLY refused that
request and addel: "As long as you

German cities are in process of rapid
growth, not only in population but also
in all sorts of public undertakings to
add to the comfort and pleasures of
life. The rapid pace at which city
halls, school houses, hospitals, asylums
and parks have been built has neces-
sarily caused also a correspondingly
rapid increase in municipal indebted
ness. According to the latest statis-
tics issued by the Prussian govern
ment, the aggregate indebtedness of
Prussian towns of more than 10000
inhabitants increased from $703,000,-
600 to $1,077,OOO,000, or above SO per
cent during the five years ended
March 81, 1911. During this period
the municipal debt of cities with pop
ulation of 100000 or more, except
Berlin, increased from $17S,000,000 to
1851 600, 900. The debt of Berlin is
now $1O3,OOO,OOO. 1t increased only
about $11, 100000 in the five years, but
a further big increase is now planned

The Prussian State Railways have
installed at the larger railway stations
a machine which prints railway tickets
while you wait" enabling them to
dispense with the great stock of tick
cts to all towns in the empire neces-
sarily kept on hand under the old sys-
TEN. A turn of a large wheel to the
name of the desired station and a
pressure on a lever and the ticket with
its cost plainly printed on it, drops
from the machine. By a self-register-
ing connection, the ticket seller at
the end of his period of duty can tell
exactly how many tickets he has sold
and the amount of money he is to turn
over to his successor, while formerly
he had to take inventory of the entire
stock each time he went off duty, his
successor having also to check up
tickets on hand, involving sometimes
an hour or more hard labor.

New Orleans, February 1G-Cotton fu- lures opened stady at a decline Of to points. Cables were somewhat better than due, but brokers had an accumu- lation over night of selling orders to All and the supply of contracts was more than the market could absorb on the first call Immediately after the call prices were to 9 points down. but here short took profits and some fresh buying for long account was seen and the market commenced to recover, although 1t did not display any marked strength. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 1 to points under yester- days close.
 The market was nervous throughout the morning and made quick price changes below and slightly above yesterday g closing level. Around the middle of the morning bulls offered support and put the most active months up until they were l point down to points up. com pared with yesterdays last quotations Selling was heavy on this recovery and continued until noon, when the trading months were at the lowest of the morning to Ia points down net. Considerable liquidation of the long interest was in evidence and it was plain that many stop loss orders were being reached on the long side
 In the afternoon session pressure was continued for some time and prices were put II to 19 points under yesterdays close. At this level profit taking by shorts as sumed large proportions and caused a partial recovery. At 2 o'clock prices were unchanged to Q points down compared with yesterdays last quotations.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. February 16.-( Special. )- On he whole, today has been another day Of liquidation principally on the part of those not directly connected with the heavy forward sales to spin ners, which was the foundation of the advance
 From the low point there came a quick reaction and the market closed some points above the bottom. It would seem from the selling that there had been a large amount of spot cot ton bought in the south on the recent advance. which had not found a rest ing place with spinners, and 1t was hedged here today.
 As there was but little short interest in the market it was at times very heavy. When this pressure ceases tho decline. we think, will halt We believe that the English spinners have secured both coal and cotton ahead: so that the threatened coal strike will affect them only if the railroads cannot ship their goods.
 We should recover somewhat tomor- row after so sharp a decline as the south will hardly be such free sellers.

WHEAT FINISHED
 AT NET DECLINE
The Bears Maintain Control. Big Receipts and Heay-
 fer Shipments

Chicago. February 16.-Despite numerous complaints that the winter crop in the central states showed signs of serious damage. wheat today finished at net de- cline of Ise to i1c. The final tone. how ever. was firm. Latest trading left corn 14e to Adssc down; oats unchanged to isc off. and hog products less expensive by 7l5c to 1005c.
 Continued big receipts northwest and heavier shipments from Argentine formed the chief reasons why the bears were able to maintain control in the wheat pit. Con- firmatory dispatches regarding the actual resumption of work by the railroad strik- CTS who have been delaying exports from South America, discouraged spectators on the bull side and led to much aggres- sive selling. A direct cable from Buenos Ayres to a Chicago house stated that the labor troubles were entirely out of the way.
 Both India and Australia sent word too, of having forwarded increased sup plies for Europe. At the same time re- ceipts of loaded cars at primary ter minsls in the United States far exceeded
 
 pected demand for Chicago wheat added to tho feeling of depression. It was mol until milers reports of much winter kill. ing from Missouri eastward began to at tract attention that hopefulness revived among the friends of higher prices. The ensuing rally, however, could scarcely b, called impressive. Between. the opening and the close May ranged from s1.0l@ LOIS to st st.o11aa1.0l5s, with last sales a s1 .01ssm1 011s. just iac under the level O 24 hours before.
 Corn was affected by the heaviness O wheat. Big receipts also caused selling and especially as the mild weather prom ised an even larger movement of cars May fiuctuated from 6sm6slsc to sS1ad6sssc closing hc lower but firm at 6sisdes14c. Cash grades were slow. No. yelloy
