The Exercises at St. James Church Tester- day Morning. The closing exercises of Sixth avenue public school took place at St. James A. M. E. church yesterday morning, begin ning at 10 a. m. Hon. John Peabody, president of the board of trustees, Captain C. E. Hochstras- ser and Mr. R. A. Carson, members of the board, Mayor C. B. Grimes, Rev. A. M. and Mrs. Williams, Superintendent Mooty, of the public schools, and a very large audience of the patrons and friends of the school attended the exercises. A nicely arranged and very attractive programme was presented, and through out the entertainment the pupils gave evidence of being very carefully trained. They went through their various parts with entire credit to themselves and their attentive and diligent teachers. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. T. N. M. Smith. The prayer was followed by “ Welcome Friends,” a song by the graduating class. It was given in excellent style and in perfect time and harmony. W. W. Maund, a young graduate, then made a speech on “American Citizenship.” He has a clear and distinct voice, and his address^on the interesting theme was very web received by the audience. He was applauded on retiring. A very entertaining, closely reasoned and well written essay, on “Aim in Life,” by Ida Lockhart followed. She has a fall, clear voice, and her method of delivery was entirely-graceful. “Remember the Loved Ones at Home,” by the class, and “Home by the Sea,” by five girl graduates, were given in excellent style, time and harmony. Applause was general at the close of each song. A recitation, entitled “Over the Hills to the Poor House,” by Mamie Thomas was then given in an admirable and elegant manner. This young graduate gave evi dence of possessing considerable elocu tionary powers. After a very entertaining essay on “One To-Day is Worth Two To-Morrows,” by Lena Spencer, and a very flue and talented address by E. W. Hawkins, the song, “Joy! Joy! Freedom To-Day,” was faultlessly rendered by the graduating class. Rev. J. G. Yeiser, presiding elder of the C'oiumbus district, delivered the annual address to the graduates. The address was unquestionably a very able and finished piece of oratory. It re viewed the history of the educational question in connection with the negro since emancipation. The benefits of edu cation, as powerful factors in the social and moral improvement of the race,_ were pointed out lucidly, fally and in detaiL The address throughout sparkled with very brilliant and logical conclusions, drawn from dwelling on the greatness and importance, the benefits and necessity of the grand question. After some solid and sound remarks to the graduates, the speaker turned to the trustees and addressed to them an eloquent and gracefal tribute of thanks for the great interest which they had always shown in the education, progress and im provement of the colored people. He said: “Let us go along as we are going. Let oar people avail themselves of the educational advantages afforded them, and we can solve the negro problem ourselves without the aid of any others.” . . The elder was listened to _ with rapt attention, and he closed with a vig orous exhortation to the graduating class to ever live up to the true principles and excellent morals which will ever gain for them respect and appreciation in the community. After the “Graduating Ode,” by the class, Hon. John Peabody, after a neat, encouraging and instructive little speech, delivered tne diplomas to the graduates. After a vory fine recitation by Minnie NIoore, Professor Spencer announced that three of the boy graduates made a very close contest for the medal presented to the school by Rev. L. Thomas, pastor of St. James church last year. The score stood: E. W. Hawkins, 89$; Willie Price, 981; Willie Maund 98. The* medal was accordingly awarded to E. W. Hawkins, the presentation being made by mayor Grimes. The exercise 3 closed with the doxology and benediction. The Law Unconstitutional. Valparaiso, Incl., Jane 28.—James B. Harvey, agent of Swift & Co., of Chicago, ^as arrested at Hammond last week and uned f 50 by a local magistrate for selling w this city dressed beef slaughtered in Lnicago. He was committed to jail for * failure to pay the fine. On Monday he was taken before Hon. Williajn Johnson, judge of Porter county circuit coart, on a writ of habeas corpus. Yesterday Judge Johnson delivered an elaborate opinion, holding the law under which Harvey was fined to be unconstitutional and discharged the prisoner. The last legislature of In diana passed an act prohibiting the sale of fresh meat in any county of the state un less the animals had been first inspected alive within the counry where the meat was to be offered for sale. This is the first case under the new law. The judge holds that the Indiana statute is akin to the exercise of power by indi vidual states over interstate commerce, which rendered the articles of the confed eration, rope and sand, and which led to the adoption of the present national con stitution. COTTON SEED OIL TRUST. Earnings the Past Tear Stated at S 2,600,- OOO, bat No Dividend Declared. New York, June 28.—At a meeting of the trustees of the American cotton seed oil trust, to day, it was decided to defer consideration of the dividend question un til the next annual meeting. An approxi mate statement was presented at the meet ing, however, showing that tho trust had earned $2,600,000 in the first year, or equal to 6 per cent of outstanding certificates. The 'statement showed a cash working capital of $7,000,000. At the annual meet ing held in July, 1887, a dividend of 4 per cent was declared on certificate, payable in four quarterly installments. The first dividend was paid, but nothing has since been heard of the other three. Outside certificate holders were surprised when they learned of the action of the trustees to-day, as it had been positively stated that the trustees were in favor of paying a dividend, but were divided as to whether to declare 4 or 5 per cent. NEWS FROM JOHNSTOWN. The Number of Working People Lost Esti mated at 3000—Paying the Soldiers. Johnstown, June 28.—The time keep ers in the Cambria office estimate that from four to five hundred of their work men in the Gautier and Cambria iron works were lost. Counting the women and children dependent upon them, they put their loss of people at two thousand. They estimate the entire loss of life at 10,000. Mr. Haws, a fire brick manufac turer, thinks this guess is about right. He believes at least five hundred strangers were in town at the time of the flood. About two hundred deposit books of the Johnstown Savings bank are reported lost by depositors or their heirs. There were $774,000 on deposit, and mach of this is the property of people having no heirs. The Fourteenth regiment will be paid this afternoon, and with the exception of three companies, will leave to-morrow. They will have about five hundred men and the pay roll will amount to $20,000. Miners on a Strike. Altoona, Pa., June 28.—The mountain miners are on a strike from Gallitzin west ward, and trouble is feared in Clearfield region, where the Berwind White Coal Mining Company has extensive operations. The company is unwilling to pay its men for “dead work,” such as cutting air courses, and there is also trouble as to the method of paying check weighmen. The miners threaten to strike. There is nlso a movement among the miners who earn_4o cents per gross ton, the miners to strike for 50 cents, which is received in other parts of the region. Camp Hill Items. C amp Hill, Ala., Jane 28.—Mr. B. F.

Tho Question of the Ownership of Eighteen Miles of Rood Between Atlanta and Austell—The Legislature. Other Atlanta News. Atlanta, June 28.—[Special.]—The re port of the assessors of the Georgia Pacific railway is nearing completion, and it is stated will contain some interesting feat ures. The gentlemen composing the board are Hon. S. G. McLendon, ot Thom- asville; Judge R. P. Trippe, of Forsyth, and Hon. C. A. Turner, of Macon. Super intendent Sage, of the Georgia Pacific, has been before the board since its return to Atlanta to testify in regard to the owner ship of eighteen miles of road between Atlanta and Austell. It is not clear why there should be any donbt or mystery about the matter, but the fact remains that the officials of the road do not appear to know mnch about it, and Superintendent Sage is no wiser than the rest of them. The trouble seems to arise out of the character of the agreement between the Georgia Pacific and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia roads, as both use the same track from Atlanta to Austell. The Georgia Pacific wants the East Ten nessee to pay half the tax, and there may be such a contract between them, bat that cannot affect the ownership of the prop erty, nor is it a matter that concerns the state. The track was built by the Georgia Pacific, and it is very unlikely that they have parted with the ownership of the property. In the absence of any reliable information about the matter, the board will report the property as owned by the Georgia Pacific, and it will be so taxed. This board will make some recommend ations to the governor, among them that only one board be appointed to assess the different roads which require appraise ment by the state. They think the board will be able to do the work better and with more uniformity, and more satisfac torily. The railroad returns next year may, however, be of such a character as to re lieve the governor of the necessity of ap pointing assessors. The Railroad Assessors Report. The assessors, appointed by the gov ernor to appraise the Georgia Pacific and the Georgia Southern and Florida rail roads, reported to-day. The returns made by the Georgia Pacific are increased $161,- 948, and of the Georgia Southern and Florida nearly a quarter of a million. The Savannah, Florida and Western returns were received to day. The prop erty is returned at $3,221,775. The Legislative Session. There are already to be noticed here some sure, unfailing symptoms of the leg islative session. A number of gentlemen, who are always in town at the opeqing, have arrived, and several of the out-of- town clerks are here looking up their boarding houses. A more reliable indica tion is the supply of railroad passes which Clerk Harden is sending out to members. The passes certainly bring the legislature to Atlanta. Personal Mention. Governor Gordon is absent in Bullock county, where he made a public address on yesterday. Hon. W. J. Northen, of Hancock, was among the visitors about the capitol to day. Internal Revenue Collector Arnold. The newly appointed collector, Dr. Arnold, arrived here to-night. It is rumored to-night that 'Collector Cren shaw does not propose to give up the office without a fight. He tendered his resig nation recently to take effect September 1, and he says if the department wants him out earlier they will have to remove him. A Burglar Sentenced. John Jones, a negro burglar, who ab stracted ten dollars’ worth of property from a colored neighbor’s house, was con victed to-day and sentenced tc twenty years. HAIL AND RAIN STORM. Minnesota Visited by Floods—Two Men Reported Drowned. Minneapolis, Minn., June 28 —The Journal’s Rusford, Minn., special says: A combined cyclone, water spout and hail storm passed from one to five miles east of here last night, destroying everything in its path. A belt two miles wide in the pathway of the storm for thirty miles in length is absolutely laid waste, trees being as bare of leaves as in winter. The loss by the storm can’t fall much below $100,- 000. Immense trees, two feet or more in diameter, have been tom up and twisted off. For two miles in width the merciless hail pelted everything into the ground. It crossed the railroad track where the sec tion men were at work, and they say that hail fell fally as large as a man’s fi3t. An drew Fizisco, of Yucatan, was drowned in the flood. Another drowning is reported from Houston. THE CRONIN CASE. Members of the Clan-na-Gael Ordered to Testify Before the Grand Jury. Chicago June 28.—The grand jury re sumed its work on the Cronin case at 10 o’clock this morning, and before they went into session they gave it out that they would finish the case to-morrow. Unless new evidence is discovered in the meantime to prolong the session, the final findings of the jury will be returned into court to-morrow atternoon. The line of investigation followed by the grand jury this forenoon was toward uncov ering the outer circle of the plot. Some thirty Clan-na-Gael men were summoned for to-day’s session, and the questions put to them were all framed with the view of finding out if possible who was responsible for spreading the malicious report that Dr. Cronin was a spy. Young Carlson, whose parents own the cottage in which Dr. Cronin was murder ed, and who has been prominently brought forward by the police in various attempts to identify the suspects, says that an at tempt was made yesterday to terrorize him. He declares that two men came to the cottage and distinctly threatened him with death if he should identify Martin Burk, now under arrest at Winnipeg. Disastrous Prairie Fires. Helena, Mon., June 28.—All efforts to check the forest fires whieh started in Cascade county, near Sand Coules, two days ago, proved unavailing. Advices up to last night show it has covered an area of over 100 square miles, and has destroyed the best hay ground in the vicinity. The loss will be very heavy, owing to the fact that the dry season had already greatly reduced the hay crop. No such prairie fire has been known in Montana in years. So far no lives are reported lost, though several ranchmen were burned out. PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS. Marshal Wilson's Successor Appointed. Fred Douglass Gets an Office. Washington, June 28.—The president has appointed John G. Watts, of Virginia, marshal of the Wee tern district of Vir ginia. Frederick Douglass, of the District of Coiyrnhia, to be minister resident and consol-general of the United States to HaytL Daniel M. Ransdell, of Indiana, to be United States marshal for the District of Columbia, vice A, A. Wilson, resigned. Captain Meredith, of Chicago, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, vice E. O. Graves, resigned. Ransdell and Meredith are natives of Indiana, born in or near Indianapolis, and both served in President Harrison’s regi ment, the Seventieth Indiana. At the battle of Resacca the former lost his right arm. Since, Ransdell has served as clerk o f the city of Indianapolis and clerk of the county of Marion. He has been active in local politics for many years, and in his former public position is said to have proved a capable and popular official. Captain Merideth is a practical printer. He has for fifteen years been superintend ent of the steam plate printing depart- years Indianapolis Journal composing room, and of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His ex perience, it is said, renders him well quali fied for the position to which he has been appointed. J. G. Watts, apoointed United States marshal for the Western district of Vir ginia, in place of James R. Jordan, re moved, held that office under former republican, administrations, and was re moved by President Cleveland. He lives at Tazewell, Va., and was recommended for the marshalship by Senator M&bone, Representative Wise, Messrs. Brady, Lang ston and others. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Extent of Easiness Done iu Listed and Un listed Stocks Yesterday. New York, June 28.—Dealings in the stock market to-day presented few features for comment, and dullness was the most conspicuous characteristic throughout the day. Trust stocks were very quiet as com pared with their late activity, and while presenting a firm front did not show any marked fluctuations, except in last hoar. The trust to be traded in, the American cattle trust, which opened at IS, sold up to 19L London prices were lower this morning and the first prices in this market were also off small fractions from last night’s figures, though the only important conces sion was in Jersey Central, which yielded | per cent. This stock was an element of weakness throughout, and on very high trading It showed a loss at the end of the day. The bearish feeling was soon check ed in the morning by unusually heavy buy ing of New England, and it acted as a check to the drooping tone of the rest of the market, nntil the issue of the Van derbilt statement, in which an increase in the operating expenses of Lake Shore was taken as an opportunity to hammer the list by bears. Buying of New England was taken as evidence that some new de velopment in regard to the company was abont'to come oat, and the stock was aa- vanced.from 11 to 53, but the high prices brought out considerable stock and it yielded. | (In the afternoon further engagements of gold for export also intensified the bearish sentiment and more unfavoradle news from the west came in to help prices down, and St. Paul became the leading weak stock, notwithstanding very favor able reports of earnings for the month of May and five months of the year. The declaration of regular dividends upon Van derbilt’s also helped to check the decline except in the case of Lake Shore. After the advance in New England culminated about noon, activity in the list became much smaller and changes in quotations were made on an exceedingly small scale. Among the inactive shares Ohio Southern showed marked strength in the evening, rising from 14J to 16c, after which it was entirely neglected. Sales of listed stocks reached 176,000 shares and unlisted 56,000. The active list is almost invariably lower. THE CHICAGO MARKET. Review of Speculation in the Grain and Provision Markets. Chicago, June 28.—A marked change again occurred in the wheat market as compared with yesterday. The feeling developed was decidedly unsettled and a sharp advance occurred daring the session, bat it was fully sustained. Trading was active, in a speculative way. The open ing was about the same to ic lower than yesterday’s closing, which was dne in part to the rather easier tone of European ad- vcies and was a sort of continuation of yesterday’s weakness, bat shortly after the opening became strong and advanced 1| to lie for various deliveries, declining I to Ic and closed lie higher for July, lie for August, and lie higher for December than yesterday. The advance was attrib uted to bad crop news received from the northwest. The feeling throughout the session was nervous and feverish. A fair business was transacted in corn, and the feeling developed was a little as- settled, prices ruling lower early and higher later in the session. There was no news of importance on the market, and § rices were governed chiefly by local in- aences. The market opened lower than the closing prices of yesterday, and was easy for a time. A firmer tone then pre vailed, due largely to the good shipping demand, and prices advanced Ic., ruled easier, and closed a shade lower than yes terday. A good MBiness was transacted in oats, but a nervous feeling prevailed, and prices fluctuated within a range of Ic. to|c. A fairly active trade was reported in mess pork, but the market was somewhat unsettled and prices ruled irregular. Opening sales were made at 7Jc decline. A farther redaction of lc was had, with moderate trading and a larger scale. Later, the market exhibited more firm ness, and prices rallied 71 to 10c, and closed comparatively steady. A quiet and rather doll feeling prevailed in the lard market. Prices ruled 2$ to 5c lower and the market closed quiet, at medium figures. Short ribs were easier. Early in the day prices receded to 5c, but during the latter part of the session was steady, and prices rallied again and closed steady. Cotton Futures. New York, June 28.—The San’s cotton review says: Futures opened a little un settled and presently declined tinder sell ing to realize profits, but the bulls came to the rescue and a fresh advance carried prices for this crop a few points above tbe closing figures of last night, bat in the last hoar there was fresh selling to realize, andqy which prices gave way, especially for August, which touched 10.64. Cotton on spot is 116 dearer and more active for export and home consumption. Pennsylvania Liquor Licenses. Philadelphia, June 28 —The state supreme court to-day awarded a writ of peremptory mandamus in the case of the petition of the Prospect Brewery Com pany, of this city, for a mandamus to license the court judges to show cause why a brewer’s license was refused the company.

London, June 28.—The shareholders of the company whose concession to build the DeLagoa Bay railway has been can celled by Portugal, held a meeting in Lon don to-day. It was resolved to resist an attempt on the part of Portugal to take the work out of the company’s hand, as such action wonld result in a grave crisis. It was farther determined, in the event of Portugal’s persisting in carrying out the threatening action, to call upon the Brit ish government to demand from Portugal the payment of her debt to England of £3.(M0,Q00, incurred in 1814, and to ask that such sum be applied to the purchase of the railway. It was also decided that the company should claim damages from Portugal and request the British govern ment to enforce the claim. The House of Commons. London, June 28.—In the house of com mons this evening Mr. Lea, member from South Londonderry, a liberal opposed to home role, complained of dealings be tween London guilds and Irish tenants, and demanded the appointment of a com mittee to inquire into the matter.

Bollins and McGinnis will die. H’DOW MURDER TRIAL. Cohen and Mag ath Make Eloquent Pleas in Behalf of the Prisoner. Charleston, S. C., Jane 28.—Asher D. Cohen and Judge Mag rath addressed the jury to-day in the McDow murder case in behalf ot* the prisoner. Each made a strong speech. Cohen asked that his client be acquitted on Ike plea of self- defense, and closed with a thrilling pero ration, asserting that the prisoner had already suffered punishment; that he was a changed man, and beseeching them to let him return to his devoted wife, “to be baptized in the tears of their little girl into a nobler and better life.” Judge Magrath followed with a very impressive speech. Both speeches evi dently made a good impression on the jury, as well as the audience. The final speech for the prosecution will be made to-morrow by Major Julian Mitchell, and after the charge by Judge Kershaw the case will go to the jury. Major Mitchell stands at the head of the criminal lawyers of the state, and his speech to-morrow is expected to be a very fine one. A FREAK OF NAl'VRB.

Mary Anderson’s Illness New York, Jane 26.—The report re ceived by cable from London yesterday that Miss Mary Anderson would not ap pear on the stage next season, was con firmed at the office of Abbey & Grau to day. This conrse was only adopted after a long conference between Miss. Anderson’s friends and the physicians who have been in attendance upon her during her illness. The mystery attending Miss Anderson’s illness has given rise to ail sorts of sensational rumors re garding her mental condition. Last night it was rumored in theatrical circles that Miss Anderson was confined in a private asylum in England. Mr. Matthews, the representative of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau, who has been connected with Miss Anderson in a business copacity, said to day: “The simple fact that Miss Ander- osn has canceled all her engagements ofr next season is no certain indication htat there is anything serious the matter with the famous actress. I was with her at the time she broke down here, and I can say that her failure to complete the season was entirely due to overwork. I have the best reason for knowing that she is resting quietly at her heme in Tonbridge Wells, ana that the idea that she is con fined in a lunatic asylum is absurd. Miss Anderson is quite well oft, and can easily afford to be idle for a season. Her time will be filled by the Gaiety Company of London.” A Royal Engagement Announced. London, June 28.—Murray’s Magazine announces that Prince Albert Victor, the oldest son of the Prince of Wales, has been affianced to Princess Victoria, of Prussia, sister of the Emperor of Germany. With the announcement the information is given that the queen will give the prince a marriage settlement, and parlia ment will not be asked to make provis ions for him. Panama Canal Belief Bill.

A Nervous Tension. “Why did you shoot that man’s dog?” asked the justice; “he says he was per fectly quiet and never disturbed any one.” “Well, no,” the prisoner admitted, “I never heard him howl in all his life, bat he always looked as though he was goin’ to.Ke’a come out in the front yard a dozen times a night, squat down, look at the moon if there was one, draw his breath, open his mouth and ax himself for a howl from here to Jericho, and then change his mind and crawl under the porch and go to sleep. I never heard him howl, bat the suspense was killing.” —Brooklyn Eagle. Miss Clara Barton. The world-famous Clara Barton and her trained assistants are working wonders at Johnstown. They are at the hospitals eas ing the wounded and comforting the dy ing. dan Barton is a native of Maine. She m a teacher in early life ot In 1854 she went to Wash ington to be clerk in the govern ment service. See appeared in Straabarg the morning after its capitulation to the Germans with a scarlet croos wrought in her sleeve above the elbow. Her humane work was carried on in Paris after the fall of the commune. When the Missis sippi overflowed its banks in 1884, Clan Barton appeared laden with relief. Her work in America, additional to what has been mentioned, has relieved the sufferers of the Ohio floods, Michigan fires, Charleston earthquakes, Texas drouth, Mount Vernon tornado, and now the awful calamity at Johnstown. She is president of the American Bed Cross Society. The motto of the Ameri can branch is: “Relief in war, famine, pestilence and other national calami ties.”—Buffalo Express. THE TAHITI ROMANCE. Consul Doty’s Marriage With a Dusky Beauty. Cannibalism does not exist in the Society islands, or the amoroos consular official would have been in danger of a little shock when he surveyed the tables laid for the wedding breakfast, says the Lon don Telegraph. Nominally the Tahitians are Christians, yet it is a mistake to sup pose that their education has at present reached a very advanced stage. French being tbe recognized language in tbe schools, it is not surprising that instruction is carried on under con siderable difficulties. Thus it is probable that even the queen herself was rather puzzled when she received the letter from the American consol asking for the hand of the Princess Polona in marriage. She may have considered it in the light of an official communication, a sort of demand note from the United States government to be followed, in case of non-compliance, by the visit ot a warship. The Tahatia court has not forgotten the lesson it learned so long ago as 1838, when a French frigate forced French missiona ries upon the island, or again, four years later, when another French cruiser ex torted from luckless Queen Pom are a treaty by which she placed the island un der French “protection.” Such memo ries would make the islanders cautious in resisting the will of a great power; and, perhaps, the safest thing that could have been done nnder the circumstances was to bring the consul’s presumptuous request under the notice of the Gallic com mander of the island. In that case very likely Consul Doty wonld have been re ported to the government at Washington tor trying, by a matrimonial intrigue, to undermine the authority of the masters of Tahiti. An interesting question now pre sents itself as to whether the newly mar ried consul will find Tahita “ slow,” and, if so, whether he will take his princess back to New York and exhibit her to admiring friends in Broadway, or leave her behind him and take an American trip himself; or, having married her, will he send his princess to Europe or America to be “educated” according to oar stand ard? He wonld have a precedent for the latter coarse in the visit to England of Princess Kalane, daughter of King Kala- kua, of the Sandwich islands, who has just arrived on oar shores in order to undergo education. This little princess is fourteen years old, and she would have been ac companied by ber royal father had King K&fakua’s treasury been in a condition to support the expense of a return ticket by steamer to Earope. As it is not, bis maj esty reluctantly 'stays at home. Princess Polona is probably more than fourteen years old, or Consul Doty would not have doted on and married her. Perhaps she is already sufficiently educated for his tastes. A black princess, who is plso a bine-stocking, wonld be rather a discord in domestic dyes. AN ABlS LITTLE SALESWOMAN. How a Young Woman in a Chicago Sto-e Secured a Raise in Salary. I heard a story abont a pretty little widow the other day which contains a hint to young women who are suddenly thrown upon their own resources. This little woman lost her husband,Jand in the course of time it became necessary to do some thing to support herself. After trying a good many places she was given a position in a State street dry goods store, with the handkerchief count er as her department. The first day she was there, a gentleman came along and stopped at her counter so look at her goods. She felt that she ought to sell him something, so she went at it en ergetically, and though the man tried in every way to elude her, he couldn’t do it, and was finally forced to bay half a dozen handkerchiefs. When she got her salary at the end of the week she fonnd a sub stantial increase over the figures at which she had been engaged. She asked the cashier the reason. “Because of a sale yon made the first day you came. If you remember, you sold half a dozen handkerchiefs to a gentleman after making a long talk.” “Yes, I remember,” she said. “That was Mr. Partridge. He thonght your salary ought to be raised.” This was a good while ago. The lady is happily married again. You may be sure that a' girl who ca§ sell goods to the pro prietor of the store will not be any too long in getting a husband, and a good one too.—Chicago Mail. The Romance ef Chess. The great game has its tender, its ro mantic side, as no game can bave at which more than two people play. It smiles on lovers, and can even be the cause of love. Only a few years ago a chess player, condemned to live in the country, solaced his solitude by playing it cards games brought or daily took his move. His antagonist was a lady; before the con test was over he had got to know this lady, and their acquaintance ripened into inti macy, intimacy into love, and love was crowned with marriage. And this couple, not unmindful of the kind influence which had brought them together, determined that the very rights of their marriage should “something saver” of the game. So they invited from London a certain clergyman whose genial face—“the front of Mars himseif”—is well known in chess circles; none but a chess player of his em inence should celebrate their union. And when the bridegroom and bride rose from the wedding breakfast it was only to sit down to a game of chess—the first of their wedded life. Ah! happy, hap py, pair, nnder what happy auspices did you start on the highway of marriage! What a fine air of romance, of sweet tenderness, lingers round these lines of Lord Ly tton: My little love, do you remember. Ere we were grown so sadly wise. Those evenings in the bleak December, Curtained warm from the snowy weather, When you and I played chess together, Checkmated by each other’s eyes. Ah! still I see your soft white hand Hovering warm o’er qneen and knight, And so on to the sad close when the poet laments: That never, never, never more, As ia those old still nigh s of yore. Ere we were grown so sadly wise. Can you and I shut out the skies: Shut out the world and wintry weather. And eyes exchanging warmth with eye3, Piay chess as then we p’ayed together. —The Gentleman’s Magazine. John Gilpin’s Ride Read in Coart. The court said the proceedings were cer tainly monotonous and a little poetry would be welcomed. He would, however, like to know how the poem could be made evidence. Mr. Bullock argued that the poem was good evidence. It was in evidence that Plaintiff Howard had said his father lived close to John Gilpin’s inn, at Edmonton. Now it was in evidence that Howard’s father lived within fifty yards of the Bell Inn, Edmonton, by which John Gilpin’s borrowed horse took him at such break neck speed, and it was necessary for the jury to hear the poem to grasp the facts. The plaintiff objected that John Gilpin was a myth, and that the whole story was notoriously the product of Cowper’s im agination. To the immense satisfaction of the jury the court overruled the objection and the adventures of Gilpin were read. The audi ence laughed and applauded; a mole hitched to the court boose yard railings brayed as if to express his sympathy with the aes which started Gilpin’s horse, and the whole incident was intensely fanny.— Memphis Appeal. REVIEW OF BUSINESS. A WEEK OF CONSIDERABLE EXCITE MENT IN SPECULATIVE CIRCLES. Crop Reports Unusually Favorable—Baal - ness Prospects Not Gloomy—The Money Market—Gold Exports. Failures for the Week. New York, Jane 28.—R. G. Dan & Co., in their review of the trade for the week » say: It has been a week of considerable ex citement in speculative circles and of a heavy general trade without material change in conditions. As all depends in a large measure at this season on crop pros pects, it is most encouraging to find re ports in this particular unosqally favor able, the only noteworthy exception being that the damage to cotton and grain from frequent rains is reported at Galveston. At the northwest grain looks fine, a great improvement being reported in quarters where there had been some apprehension. With crops of unusual magnitude highly probable, and with the general value of business so maintained than an increase of * 30 per cent over last year appear ia the clearing house returns, the prospect is net gloomy. Accounts from interior points are decidedly favorable. At Cleveland and Pittsbnrg, the iron and other trades continue to mend. The glass factories have abont all closed for the summer, it is thought, with stocks not too large to meet the present demand. Coal mining on the Monongahela is dull, and it is expected that the agitation against com pany stores is to be commenced in that district soon. Speculation has been quite active, espe cially in trust stocks, grain, coffee and oil. The sadden boom in oil has lifted the price over 8 cents, and has caused some speculation failures. Refined has been ad vanced 30c per 100 gallons. Wheat has advanced 2 cents, with sales of 24,000,- 000 bushels on Wednesday, and 55,000,000 for the week; but all accounts of harvest ing thus far have been satisfactory. Corn and oats have declined each a fraction, and coffee is still sold heavily, transactions reaching 740,000 bags, and has declined Ic. Pork and pork products are all a little stronger, without a definitely assignable reason. Sales of cotton have been 110,000 bales, and the price is about Jc lower than a week ago, receipts and exports still falling far behind those of the corresponding dates last year. The general average of prices has fallen a trifle daring the peat week. Speculation in trust stocks haa been remarkably active and stimulated by a host of rumors, but the excitement ana feverishness have inclined conservative people toward caution. The stock market has not been as strong as some expected, notwithstanding marked activity in some securities. The state of the anthracite coal trade causes some hesitation, for the trade ia doll and weak, and the production in May appears to have been 150,000 tons more than in the same month a year ago. Sales much below nominal prices are reported In the iron business there is a stronger feeling at all points with a quotable im provement in some grades, especially of mill iron, but bar does not improve ac cording to expectation, and rails are not changed in price, nor are large transac tions reported. At Pittsburg and Cleve land a stronger feeling still prevails. The money market has stiffened to some ex tent here, as is natural after heavy ex ports of gold. But the treasury has paid out during the week abont $3,000,000 more than it has taken in. There ia no where observable any actual stringency, nor fa apprehension noticeably influential. In* deed, it is one of phenomenal, which most deserve attention, that there is generally a prevalent feeiing of confident indiffer ence to the changes of the money market, apparently based npon the faith that in any event the treasury will control the situation. Exports of merchandise for four weeks have been but 13 per cent above last year’s, while merchandise imports for the month thus far show a small increase. Business failures occurring throughout the country daring last week number for the Unitied States 184, and Canada 31, total 215, against 220 last week. The Chicago Races.

As Though Jersey Couldn’t Supply Enough of the Pests. Everybody around the rotunda of the custom house, says the New Yoric Sun, when they heard Edward H. Kraemer, the veteran animal broker, say to-day that he had just entered a big lot of live mos quitoes, thought he was either romancing or losing some of the quick sense which enables him instantly to tell a Yorkshire from a Dandle Dinmont terrier. Eddie went on to say, in the presence of the credulous- minded brokers and clerks, that four pack ages of the pestiferous insects had ar rived on the steamship Alms a from Vera Cruz. Two of the packages contain ed live mosquitoes, and two dead mosqoi- tees baked in the form of cakes. They came from Mexico, of which country they are natives. Eddie described the pests to be as long as his hand, or many times the size of their famous Jersey cousins. “What are they for, Eddie?” he was asked. “To feed soft billed birds, such as rob bing and others.” The brokersaid that he paid dnty on the live skeeters at the rate of 20 per cent, and that the insects were consigned to Reiche Bros., of Park row. “The duties,” he replied, “amounted to $21.” One of the Reiche Bros, said that the firm was expecting a shipment of mosqui toes from Mexico, but that they were dead ones. If any of the lot get here alive they moat have been restored to life on the passage. They are caught in nets ia Mexico and dried. They are food to thrushes, nightingales, mocking birds and other soft billed birds.
