manipulating the keys. A brief explana

Pensacola News: A good story Is going

of this city. Tuesday night he pleaded to

the evening he stood in the armory watch
ing the gay maskers at the firemen’s ltardi
Gras ball. Presently the soft hand of a
little <*hild t en masque, stole into hi* own,
and as he bent his head down to the
little on© he was paralysed for th©
moment by the soft, pleading voice,
“Please pap, take me home; I’m so tired.”
With the hurried exclamation “which is
mama?” a step forward, and touching a
lady masker on the shoulder he said, with
much dignity, “madam, we had better re
tire.” “Certainly,” sokl she, “if your press
ing engagement is finished.” Without a
word they intssed out of "the crowded ball
room into the fool night air, where the
distinguished citizen lifted his hat to cool
his fevered brow and recover his equi
librium.

Rear-Admiral Ammen of the United

“J have been looking over the subject
of the wisdom of the a/ivisaMllty of estab

West. I think it is a practical thing and
will b© a necessity as soon as the Nicara

built. Th© best course for vescsela coming
north from th© Atlantic terminus of the
canal will bo to cling closely to the coast,
passing to the west of the Islands ami of
Cuba, then to follow the line of the Flor
ida coast and take advantage of the Gulf
Bltxirn and go on to the north. This course
will be some eighty miles long- r than the
straighter one, which lies to the east of
these islands, but it will be much safer,
and it will miss the heavy trade winds
which would bo head winds In the easter

Last Monday the little steamer Alligator
entered the waters of Okahumpka Run,
bearing a company of gentlemen from
the Academy or Natural Science located
In Philadelphia. These specialists are un
der the direction of Prof. C. li. Moore,
and are engaged in Investigating the In
dian mounds, of which there are a number
of Important ones in that vicinity. Two
of them have already engaged the efforts
of the visitors. In one of these mounds
only a few arrowheads, some singular
pieces of pottery, together with a few
human bones, have been discovered. In
the other, however, a rich find came to
light. Among the things were a number
of hatchets, made of wood, overlaid with
brass, and evidently used as weapons of
war. There were the remains or about
twenty-five Indians, some beads, and ves
sels, curiously wrought in day, with some
coin hearing a very strange stamp. These
excavations are going on earnestly, afid
give premise of more Interesting disclos
ures. Prof. Moore thinks that It is quite
Impossible to determine accurately the
age of these mo-unds, but says that they
are evidently pre-Columbian.
At Bartow th© coroner’s Jury has Just
concluded an investigation Into th© death
of William Blount, a negro boy, and ren
dered a verdict that he was shot by un
known parties. It seems that a night or
two since Blount was shot through th©
head and died soon afterwards, at th©
tents which are located Just across th©
branch in the western portion of the city.
There is a party of ten or twelve people
who have been camping at Bartow for
several days by the name of Kelley, and
who are, they say, from Barber county.
Alabama. They are a roving band and
have been called gypsies, although In
reality they may not be. On the night in
question about 10 or 11 o’clock this boy
had been sent out to gather up some
wood, and soon after he left the tent a
pistol shot was heard and when th© occu
pants of the tent rushed out they heard
the groans of someone which proved to
be this colored boy, who had been shot
through the head. Tho boy joined th©
campers at Balnbridge, Go., and had been
with them about four years and was well
liked by them, apparently. It was also
developed that he had not associated with
other negroes and had no dfticulty with
any one. The only solution to the mys
tery seems to b© that some on© was pass
ing by and hearing the noise in the woods,
fired in that direction, and was fright
ened away by the exclamatiors or groans
of the wounded boy.
A Girl's Cooking School Without u
Fire.
From Harper's Young People.
Of course It Is simple enough. There
are half a dozen electric lights to each
room In the house, and this Ingenious
teacher has attached wires to the electric
main which furnishes the electric lights.
Ea*.-h set of wires thus attached is fas
tened to otne of the cooking utensils or
to the little stand upon which It rests,
and the pan or griller or stand Is thus
heated Just a* the tiny platinum wire
loop Inside the electric light burner is.
Only, as the griller is much harder to
heat than the platinum wire, and Iron or
copper is harder to heat than platinum,
the griller does not get white-ho-t, or even
redhot, but Just hot enough to raise a
blister on your finger.
Up out of the floor comes the wires from
the electric main, and then each little
cooking apparatus has its own particular
set of wires, and there are six little knobs
for connecting jtnd breaking the circuit for
each set, placed Just under the top of the
table. The cleanliness, the simplicity and
the convenience of the whole thing are
remarkable, and if you should really hap
pen to belong to such cooking school here
in America, and go to London and Fee
this school, you would be thunder-struck,
and made quite unfit to come hack to the
range and the draughts and the coal and
wood and the lighting of Ares.
The two burglar proof safes that were
the only things seen in the—lt would hard
ly be called a “kitchen”—cooking room
when you entered turn out to be nothing
more than electric ovens. They are so
constructed that the half-dozen shelves
Inside them which are attached to wires,
just as the utensils on the table are. can
be heated to any degree of heat without
altering the temperature of the safe or
oven itself. Here you can sets pates of
bread or roasts, or anything that can he
cooked or warmed to an oven. Then clos
ing the door, you turn on a certain amount
of electric current through the wires that
are attached to shelf No. 1, and the plates
are warmed. To shelf No. 2 the wires
carry more heat, and something is roasted
in no time, and so on down through the
half-dozen shelves—ail done by the turn
ing of little knobs, in* tend of carrying coal
and putting wood and paper underneath
it, and lighting matches, burning your
fingers, and blowing half your lungs
a ay.

New York. March 2.—Riordan & Cos.
sav of cotton: "Speculation In cotton
during the week has been tame and spir
itless. the small fluctuations having been
governed almost exclusively bj the vary
ing volume of the receipts from day to
day. On Thursday May sold at 5.44 c, the
lowest price on record, but yesterday the
market stiffened and to-day heavy buy
ing to cover shorts caused further im
provement. The close was firm at the
best prices of the week. 5.55 c being bid
for May. To-day’s advance has had a con
siderable influence upon the sentiment cf
the room traders, and there are more ex
pressions of bullish feeling this afternoon
than have been heard here for a long time.
The reaction thus far has only amounted
to 9 points from the lowest, yet It seems
to l>e regarded as possessing groat sig
nificance. The Immediate cause of the
rise is said to be the receipt of telegrams
from Houston, Tex., forecasting a sharp
diminution of the movement in that sec
tion. This is hardly in accord with the
predictions which were current just before
the close yesterday. But to-day's advices
appear to gain more general credence.
Everybody admits that cotton at the pres
ent low level of prices is going to be ex
ceedingly sensitive to any such favorable
Influence as a marked reduction of re
ceipts. The international agitation in fa
vor of silver is tending to Increase confi
dence among all Interested in the cotton
trade. But it is mainly to a lessened
production as a result or smaller acreage
and a largely decreased use of fertilizers,
that the friends of eotton are looking to
give us a permanently higher market. Un
til later In the spring prices may continue
to fluctuate without important change,
but, in our opinion, the. chances, in the
long run, are all In favor of the buyer.”

New York, March 2.—The weekly state
ment of the Associated Banks shows tho
following changes: Reserve, decrease,
$1,768,225; loans, Increase, $1,588,700: specie,
decrease, $4,844.2Ct'; legal tenders, lncreitse,
$3,406,200; deposits, decrease, $119,100; cir
culation, increa e, $153,900. Tile banks
now hold $28,064,500 in excess of the re
quirements of the 25 per cent. rule.
The Financier, commenting on the
above statement, says: "Asa result of
the week's operations, the reserve de
creased $1,768,225. The statement does not
balance. The banks gained through the
interior movement during the week about
$1,726,000 in currency, but lost at least $9.-
000.000 to the eub-treasury on account of
deposits of specie incident to the consum
mation of the bond syndicate deal, mak
ing the net loss for the week over $7,000.-
000.
The Increase of $4,814,200 In specie was
due entirely to withdrawals for treasure
deposits, but the increase of $3,046,200 in
legal tender does not seem clear unless
legal tenders have been paid to the hanks
In exchange for gold. The increase of *l,-
588,700 In loans Is a very favorable feature
of the statement, but there ts reason to
believe that this, too, was In part caused
by the bond operations. At anv rate, the
increase must result in gains to the banks,
and Is of a larger volume than has been
reported for some time. The hanks now
hold In excess of their legal reserve $28,-
064.500, and the amount has been decreas
ing regularly. Interior receipts are also
of lesser volume, and the sudden Jump in
money rates one day last week was to
a measnre indicative pf what may be ex
pected if the banks' reserves continue de
clining. Rates for loans are still low
but a hardening of the money market is
not improbable, especially as the reserve
is only about one-third the amount re
fiorted for the same week last year. The
mportations of gold from Europe will
not swell the bank totals, as this money
goes directly Into the treasury.”

New York. March 2.—The advance in
sterling exchange and the receipts of
lower prices from London led to a general
decline in the local stock market at the
opening. The foreign selling confined to
St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and
Northern Pacific, preferred, but the trans
actions for European account were small
Local traders also sold Louisville and
Nashville, the Grangers, General Electric
and Jersey Central, and a decline of u
to 2 per cent, followed. Louisville and
Nashville declined 2 to 47**; St. Paid, 1 to
64; Northwest, 7, to 874,; Burlington % to
69%; Rock Island, •% to 61%; Genera! Elec
tric and Jersey Central. 1% to IS%. The last
named subsequently recovered to 84%. Su
gar distilling and lead were exceptionally
strong. Sugar advanced 7s to 93. houses
with Washington connection* being the
largest buyer*. Trade conditions are said
to be improving and it I* also understood
that the regular dividend will be declared
after the adjournment of congress. Dis
tilling moved up to 14p Lead sold up to
28. Cordage weakened, selling down 46®
444 for common, aial 2 to 16 for the guar
anteed on the preferred, in contemplation
of an independent Cordage company, with
a capital of $566,00*. United States Leather,
preferred, advanced 1 to *)>4. Speculation
closed Irregular, the railways being rather
weak and the Industrials firm. Net
changes show losses of 5* to 1 in the rail
road list. Distilling gained S. Sugar V
Lead U. and New York Central 16 per
cent, on the day. There was very little
news afloat to affect the market. In some
quarters more activity is expected in
stock exchange circles to follow the ad
journment of congress. The sugar people,
it is thought, will take the vote in hand
and make a turn on the bull side. Again
the time for the declaration of the divi
dends on the St. Paul, New- York Central
and Western Union is approaching rapidly,
and this will give operations something
to tore trades on. In regard to Western
Union, It was stated that although the
report of earnings for the current quarter
is not expected to show the regular divi
dend earned. No change will b made in
the trade rate. The directors expect that
whatever deficiency these may be. will be
more than made up 8n the last half of the
fiS'-al year. Speaking of dividends. It was
stated on good authority that the Balti
more and Ohio road for the six months
ended Dec. 31, 1894. show earnings of 256
per cent, after the payment of all charge*
The sales of listed stocks aggregated
70,009 shares; unlisted, 17,000 shares. The

Chicago, March 2.—The edge was en
tirely off wheat to-day and the buyers
during the late flurry were maneuvering
to accept as little loss as possible on the
property bought at somewhat higher fig
ures. There was nothing particularly in
teresting about the trade. The holders of
“puts" furnished the main prop to prices,
but even they were disposed to let them
drop, and thus secure greater profits on
their Investments. May w heat opened from
r.4%0 to 5154 c, declined to 54c, rallied to and
closed at 51%iC—54c under yesterday. The
cash market was quiet; steady and un
changed.
Corn—A half session of the stereotyped
F-aturday order existed In corn. The com
plaints of traders at the inactivity and
lack of trade were general. A materially
easier feeling ruled in prices. May corn
opened frtfm 4554 c to 45c, sold between 44%c
and 455*0, closing at 44**015c—54®'%iC un
der yesterday. Quotations on cash corn
were not altered. Business In that branch
of the market was dull.
Oats were in their usual condition of
stagnation. The very moderate business
was transacted at prices averaging slightly
under those of yesterday. The weaker tone
v. as derived from wheat and corn. May
closed *4(854c lower than yesterday. Cash
oats were quiet and unchanged.
Provisions—A dull and uninteresting day
was passed in product. The packers were
holding off, whilst scalpers believed that
moderate returns were to be had on the
bear side and to that end sold small
quantities. The hog market was steady
which fact sustained values temporarily
at the opening, but later they ceased off
slightly all round. At tho close May pork
was 25y85c under yesterday. May lard
and May ribs each 254 c lower.

CHINESE! PRIMROSES.
Something: About the Delicate East*
ern Flower.
Correspondence in Garden and Forest.
At the top of the list we place Sutton's
purity. This sort has fern-leaf foliage of
a dark purple hue that sets off the largo
pure white flowers to great advantage. I
■have never seen flowers of any primula
that can compare with this kind for size,
substance and purity, and we shall grow
no other white variety, except a few plants
of pearl; the latter is a fine selection of tho
old variety Alba magnlflca, and has simi
larly green foliage. The pink colors we
have sifted down to rosy queen, a fern
leaf, compact-growing and very free-flow
ering variety that has flowers the color of
the Grace Wilder carnation. It has en
tirely superseded the older and well
known Reading pink, owing to its deli
cacy of color and free growth. Reading
blue is still the best primula of that shade,
and it is of a more decided lavender-blue
each year. We have never had this sort
so good as during the present season, ow
ing, perhaps, to the cooler temperature in
which it was grown. We find that a tem
perature of 45 to 50 degrees is better than
a higher temperature for the full devel
opment of the rich colors, and to give
substance to the flowers. For a good
scarlet we have selected Reading scarlet
as one of the most reliable and the rich
est-colored. It has, however, the tendency
to come into flower early in the fall, and
wet therefore, sow it a month later than
the other kinds, say at tne end of April.
The other sorts are sown in March, except
the blue one, which is more delicate In
constitution, and takes longer to develop-
It may be sown in January, or early in
February, if large plants are desired for
next fall.
There are fewer winter-blooming plants
that give more satisfaction than Chinese
primroses, whether for conservatory or
house decoration, if a good strain of seeds
can be had. Choice primulas are no more
difficult to grow than poor ones, and take
no more time and care. We use a light,
rich soil at times, making it a little richer
at each potting, until the plants are In the
pots they are in flower in. A 5-inch pot
will produce a good plant, but a size larger
is preferable, and if very large plants are
required an 8-lnch pot can easily be filled
by the larger ones before winter sets in.
Primulas sometimes get what the older
gardeners call water-pot fever; their sus
ceptibility to overwatering is the only
drawback to their cultivation, but this is
easily overcome by a little care. A slight
shade is necessa* - in the hot months of
summer, and plenty of air while the nights
keep warm.
