New York, Jan. 25 —Extreme dullness char
acterized dealings at the Stock Exchange
during the greater part of the day. The
sales reached the small total of 155.0U0 shares,
against 173.000 shares yesterday, and the
great bulk of the business was in five stocks
—St Paul, Sugar. Burlington. Western Union
and Louisville and Nashville, figuring for
over 106.000 shares. The bulls had the
market well under control until a late
hour the absence of pressure of long
stock enabling them to advance prices in the
entire list. The dealings, however, were de
void of animation, and for the most part
uninteresting, many traders holding off in
conseoutmee of the feeling of uncertainty in
regard to tariff and internal revenue leg is
lion at Washington The advance in prices
wasequal to 4’@l per cent., the Grangers
and Sugar leading the upward movement.
No change of importance in the speculative
temperoccunel until about 1 oclock, when
the Lears, discovering indications of free
realizations, took measures to frighten the
small traders into selling. While tnese mat
ters produced no excitment whatever, still
thev led to moderate sales for both
the long and short accounts, the natural effect
of which was a shading of prices all around.

decline of 6 points, the first sales of March
being at 7.76 e. For a time the temper ot the
trading was undecided; but, before the end of
the first hour the tone had become hrm. and
another advance, very similar to that
of yesterday. followed. The buy
ing was general. and seemed con
tagious. though nobody could give anv special
reason for wanting to buy. The receipts were
again very large, indeed, as compared with
this day last year, but a vague belief was ex
pressed that the interior movement Is about
to show signs of exhaustion. Whatever the
reason, the buying was very spirited, and the
demand did not slacken until March had
climt ed to 7.8.3. Then tl ere were realizing
sales, under which prices receded a few points.
The close was steady, with 7.83 bid for March,
the course of the market in the
immediate future is a matter of great doubt;
all the causes that occasioned the recent de
cline are still operative and seem to us to
have increased force. But speculation often
baffles calculation and it may lie that the
market will swallow the big receipts and ad
vance in spite of everything. We hope so,
but it is hardly safe to count upon a further
advance until the movement falls off. Mean
time we advise our friends to accept any
profits they can get, either upon long or short
ventures."

Fair. Howell Osborne, Blaine, Jr.,
and Others.
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch
The latest escapade of Charles L. Fair
in San Francisco may have created some
surprise among people who have not
familiarized themselves with Charles L.
Fair s genera. But to the other class
who watch the high jinks of millionaires
sous it seemed a consistent and almost
inevitable climax that the son who was
an heir to a million and just escaped
twenty times that amount from his
mother's estate, should borrow #."> and
marry a woman who sported the stage
name of Maude Nelson because her own
name—Caroline Smith— was not romantic
enough, and who had been known in New
York a s Maude Thomas, Maude Oman and
Maude Corrigan. Thisappears to be about
the proper caper with a class of young men
who come into the world with silver
spoons in their mouths. An undisciplined
young man with one or two thousand a
month to fling away, who has rampaging
appetites and a weak will, ap|>ears to set
out with the one idea of making a con
dign idiot of himself in the
briefest and di rec test manner.
He is a brilliant example of
the falsity of the hereditary doctrine
lof like father like sou, which
doctrine has recently been punctured
pretty effectually. The fathers, as a
rule, of the scattering young imbeciles
have been pretty hard-working accumu
lators. and nature evens up the matter by
making their sons sap-headed distribu
tors.
The record of Charles L. Fair belongs
to the wild oats of wealth. It is a record
of riotous living, depraved tastes, a low
prodigality and a general course of incom
prehensible debauch that ends in the
marriage of what his sorrowing father
calls a "common woman," with whom he
bad been living for a long time. As Mr.
Fair senior is reputed to be worth at least
$20,000,000 ami took his bo.vs under his
special care when he separated from Mrs.
Fair it would be interesting to inquire
whether the personal influence or the
$20,01X1,000 had the more to do with li is
son's career.
SHERMAX MARTIN AND LORD DI'SLO.
The noticeable fact about Charles I*.
Fair is that he is In no sense unique His
"Maude" act, as it may he called, is get
ting to be conventional. Just exactly
what young Fair aid may be briefly sum
marized thus: Ho blew in his money in
gambling hells, made pals of the worst
class of men and women he could find,
disgraced his family and became notori
ous as a princely bum, closing it all up by
.marrying his paramour and breaking a
bottle of beer over the ceremony. This is
so far from being new that it follows in
its main features the record of a score of
other princely bums.
The reader very readily recalls the case
of the adolescent Lord Dunlo and Belle
Bilton, which has served as a model for
so many young scapegraces. Belle Bilton
was a disreputable concert hall singer,
but she so hypnotized the young aristo
crat that he was willing to stake his eter
nal salvation on her immaculate superior
ity to the rost of the race, and suffered
the tortures of the dainueil because his
family refused to regard, when her paint
was off, with his eyes. The extraordin
ary magnanimity and dovotiou lasted
about six months, and then the machin
ery of separation was put in motion.
It was followed by the Sherman Mar
tin affair along the same lines. This
case obtained sufficient notoriety owing
to the prominence and influence of Mrs.
Bradley-Martin, the rich and respected
mother of the boy. It was at the stait
and to the finish an example of adoles
cent .susceptibility played lor all it was
worth by an adventuress against a
wealthy and sensitive family, and re
solved itself, after satiety, into a com
mercial plan to buy the woman off. The
whole record of that young man, pub
lished at the time, shows that he was
absolutly enervated by having more
money than he know what to do with,
and mentally and morally debauched by
being able to gratify every appetite and
whim. His erratic career reached a
’ climax when he threw himself into the
arms of a woman who called herself "Miss
Nunn," and who had graduated from the
variety stage.
yOCN’G BLAINE'S CN ACCOUNT ABLE CONDUCT.
The extraordinary matrimonial experi
ence of James G. Blaine, Jr., for a year
or two filled the public ears, and to this
day no satisfactory solution of his conduct
has been offered. He married a beautiful
wopian when he was not of age, and had
no other means of support than that fur
nished by bis father, and after making an
experiment of housekeeping in New York,
which proved too expensiveforthe father,
he went with his wife to reside ut the
family mausion in Augusta, Me. H-re
the young bride huda misunderstanding
with her mother-in-law and left Augusta,
but her husband remained.
Subsequently Mrs. Blaine set up pro
ceedings for divorce on the ground of de
sortion. and in Mr. Blaine's answer he
denied the desertion and alleged that his
wife left him. This young wife remained
in New York with her child, and for a
long time was seriously ill, but the hus
band never visited her. Mrs. James G.
Blaine, Jr., persistently claimed that his
absence was not voluntary, and declared
that it was owing to the mother in-law.
But whatever the cause, the peculiar
stamina of theyoung man was obvious to
the public: he virtually abandoned a
woman he had loved and married, and
who had borne him a handsome boy—
abandoned her, too. at a time when she
needed him most, and was almost de
pendent upon charity for the means of sup
port. His mother's influence over him ap
pears to have been absolute but that
influence does not appear to have
been strong enough to prevent him
from cutting a very sorry figure
before the public. His whole career,
as far as it is known, shows him to
have been a singularly weak-minded and
inordinately vain young man. He frankly
told Father Ducey that his father wanted
him to studv and get an education, but,
said he, "I have no taste for study.” He
attempted newspaper work in Pittsburg,
but ho did little or no work, save to stroll
into the city editor's room leisurely,
smoking a cigarette, where he would
usually discuss his family affairs ami
work the office for theater tickets. He
made himself offensive in Washington,
where be was blackballed by the athletic
club and repeatedly snubbed by officials.
In a word, James G. Blame. Jr., although
not the son of an enormously wealthy
man. had for a father one of the most
eminent of American statemen, and he
Utterly failed to prove that he had one
quality that had made his father eminent
and respected, and he finally disappeared
from the surface of affairs in some hum
ble employment that had been found for
him.
HOWELL OSBORNE THE MIOHT-HAVE BEEN.
Howell Osborne had a father, Charles
J. Osborne, who amassed a fortune in
Wall street and was said to be worth
from 47.000,000 to $10,000,000 when he
died. He left to his son SIOO,OOO in cash
and $500,000 in the care of trustees to be
invested for bis son’s benefit. The SIOO,-

the $600,000 he could not touch Whether

Correspondence strictly confidential. ATLANTA, CA. and AUGUSTA, CA,
ell Osborne's habits or only developed
them cannot be stated positively. From
the very start in New York life ho was a
habitune of the theaters, and it may bo
said that, like young Blaine, he bad no
taste for study. He become known totho
public by reason of ills Infatuation for an
act ress named Fay Templeton, which in
fatuation he took no pains to conceal, but,
as is usually the case, appeared to ho
rather proud of it. The report of his
marriage to that woman, the attempt of
his valet to smuggle her diamonds into
the country, his associations with
her have all been related ad
nauseam. After Osborne’s father
died the young man weut iuto business in
Wall street with W. L. Stowe, made
some astonishing deals, got heavily in
debt and then went suddenly to Kuropo.
For a long time his creditors did more
than his mistress to keep him before the
public.
When his mother died, leaving an es
tate computed at $!l,O(Hi 000, these credit
ors had renewed hopes. But the will of
Mrs. Osborne was a bitter disappoint
ment tQ them. It practically disposed of
everything in trust funds, and Howell
was to receive the income of *.'10,000 Ta
this will was attached a singular provis
ion—that at the young man's death the
executors are to divide the principal
among such of bis lineal descendants as
may be the issue of a marriage, between
him and a wife who, prior to such mar
riage, had not any timo acted, snag or
danced professionally, or otherwise per
formed for hire on a dramatic stage or
other place of public amusement
or entertainment. Tills posthumous blow
at the woman Howell Osborne had
so publicly patronized appears to have
had no effect in dampening her spir
its. As the young man had complained
bitterly of the struggle a fellow of his
tastes had to get along on the SIIO,OOO a
year which his father had left him, it
may be easily guessed that the additional
income from his mother’s provision was
accepted without “citation.” it is worth
mentioning that when ho was interviewed
about the seizure of Fay Templeton's
jewelry he acknowledged having given
her diamonds worth *60,000. The whole of
Howell Osborne's career may be summed
up in a “might-have-been " With over
indulgent parents and a chance of being
an influence either in society or in busi
ness, he chose to squander his patrimony,
outlive his income and make himself
known and wondered at solely for his ec
centricities and his trivia lities.
OTHER HICH BORN KKF.AKS.
The marriage of llobert 1.. Cutting to
Minnie Seligman was an sstonisher for
New York society. Not even his after
determination to go upon the stage him
self produced half the dismay in his own
circle. The surprise was greater than
when Clinton J. Kdgerly married Hose
Coghlan for a wife, or when the rich cot
ton manufacturer married Marie Wain
wriglit, who afterward married Louis
James- wffo now. b.y the way. denius
that they were married. Mr. Cutting can
hardlv be classed among the howling
swells who sling money as they go. He
was a very popular manat one time in his
set. and it was the belief of his parents
that he would make a most advantageous
alliance. Their disappointment was
naturally very great at his step, and so
largely did the public sympathize witli
them that when Mr. Cutting first made
his appearance on the stage in "Mv
Official Wife” he came within an see of
being guyed off the boards.
To these flaming examples of rich men s
sons there might be added scores of other
names of comparative ly unknown young
bloods whose fathers have come suddenly
into fortunes in Texas or Montana or Col
orado, and whose first desire is that their
first-born shall get to New York and show
the effete youth of that metropolis how
to spend money. Of that class is Willie
Leonard, apparently, who has been shoe
ing the chorus girls ot the Casino with
golden slippers. But he is less of a nov
elty than the gilded sons of Manhattan,
whose mission is the depletion of their
father’s hoardings. He comes in steady
relays from the back woods and the
plains. But he doesn’t stay long. He
breaks down, gets tired or is guyed to
death after his resources dry up.
Someone thoroughly conversant with
dramatrimony and social economics
ought to publish an annual report of the
amount of money that changes bands
from fond arid doting fathers to ballet
flrls. But it would require a pawn
roker, and not a philosopher, to tell what
becomes of the money after it has changed
hands.
The moral side of the question may be
left to McAllister, who in some leisure
moment may tell us if there is not some
thing wrong in the education and discip
line of rich men's sons, and if it would not
be trotter for the community, and more
comfortable for their families if, in imi

SHE CAN’T GET 3 AHEAD.
It Costs This Wife #4.08 a Year to
Borrow #3 Every Monday,
From the Now York Sun.
The promoters of Dr. David H. Greer’s
new pawnbroking scheme will probahly
not take the risk that an ICastsido pawn
broker does on a pledge that is offered
regularly every week. The pledge is an
old, battered silver watch, which has
long since outlived its usefulness as a
timepiece, and the actual value of which
as Junk is about $3. It is the property of
a hardworking laborer, and is the solo
possession in the family that ready cash
eau bo raised on. The laborer's wife hss
no trouble in securing a loan of $3 on the
watch from the pawnbroker.
"it is an exceptional c use, but T would
Dpt feel that the boss .tad lost anything
even if it was not redeemed.” said the
money lender’s clerk. “That woman has
been cumin l ' here for years every Monday
morning and pledging that old watoh.
She al wavs gets the same loan, and is
here like clock work every Saturday night
to redeem the watch so that the old man
can wear it to church on Sunday. She
keeps it polished ail the time. I would
not give her 50 cents for the watch, but it
Is worth exactly *4.68 to us iu the course
of a year. You see she is obliged to pay
the usual 3 per cent, every time she re
deems it, VVo are cocksure of her re
deeming it every time. Of course there is
profit in such transactions, Dut this is aa
extremely rare case.”
FOUGHT A MAN-EATING HORSE.
The Ravenous Animal, Brought Up
on Meat, Turns Cannibal.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 22.—A flesh-eating
horse, owned by Nicholas Reinhardt, an
Ash street butcher, yesterday turned
cannibal, and began Ratine its master,
licit h udt, who had raised the horse from
a col, tiad early taught the beast to eat
raw meat with rolish. Recently the
horse had grown so vicious that ita

stull the nag bit a largo piece out of ita
master’s arm, chewing it up with evident.
reUsh, and after that bit several other

Yesterday afternoon John O’Hara, a
stable boy employed by Mr. Reinhardt,
attempted to put a bridle on the horse,
when the animal suddenly tried to swal
low his right arm. The boy moved to
withdraw the arm; but the horse only
sank its teeth deeper into the flesh. Th
boy’s sereams bro .ght several people to
the barn, and the horse was shot by a
policeman, but not until the boy’s arm
was so badly torn that amputation at tha
elbow was necessary.
