mittees Having that part
Reunion work in charge, there is
a wide and. broadcast misunder
standing throughout the country
about the hotel rates that will be
charged during the Confederate
gathering. A wrong impression
has been in circulation for several
days past, to the effect that the
Memphis hotels were letting their
sleeping quarters for the week du
ring the Reunion at the rate of
$12 and $16 a day for one room.
This is true in part, but it
means that each room will bring
in that amount of money owing to
the fact several persons will be
assigned to the same room and
each will be charged the regular
rates. Naturally if this is done,
and four or five people occupy the
same room, an aggregate amount
of 12 or $16 will be the result.
Tho hotel rates will not be advan
ced. The only difference will be
that, whereas one person occupied
a single room, during the Reunion
week several visitors will be as
signed to the same room, and will
sleep on cots. No rooms will be
overloaded or crowded.
During the Reunion, a limited
number of Confederate Veterans,
properly identified, will be lodged
and fed free. Where the visiting
Veteran cannot afford to pay for
his lodging and board, it will be
provided for him. In no instance
will railroad fare be advanced. If
a Veteran desires to visit Mem
phis, he must provide the means
of coming here and returning. If,
after his arrival, he presents good
and sufficient evidence that he is
unable to pay for board and lodg
ing, it will be given him free. The
Committee takes it for granted
that there will be no difficulty in
a Veteran in good standing secur
ing the necessary certificate of
identification. It can be readily
had for the asking, and when it is
presented here the Committee will
accept it and will provide the nec
essary hospitality without further
delay. The Committee also de
sires to be assured that the Veter
an cannot pay his own way. The
Committee simply desires to guard
against imposition, and will do all
that it can to prevent hardship
and delav.

‘ ‘I have been suffering from dys
pepsia for the past twenty years
and have been unable after trying
all preparations and physicians to
get any relief. After taking one

have been sold in the old Stock
Exchange, now to be rebuilt.
This total does not include sales
upon the Consolidated Exchange
or by curbstone brokers or in
bucket-shops ; it does not include
dealings in oil, wheat, corn or in
unlisted stocks or local securities.
Yet it is a sum vast beyond com
prehension—almost beyond belief.
The saving banks of the whole
State hold in round numbers $i,-
000,000,000. In a single quarter
a single exchange in a single city
has sold stocks valued at more
than eleven times the entire sav
ing of the people in this form for
many years.
The total assessed valuation of
New York City last year was $8,-
654,122,198. In a single quarter
a single exchange has sold in
stocks more than three times that
sum.
In 1890 the total of all forms of
tangible value in the United
States was a little over $4,000 per
family. In a single quarter a sin
gle exchange has sold in stocks
$16,458 for every one of the 700,-
000 families in the Greater New
York.
Is any proof needed that this
speculation is excessive? That it
is out of all proportion to the real
needs of business? That it is a
menace to the community, and in
individuals a folly fast mounting
toward madness,as another record-
breaking day yesterday proved?
Caused a Sensation.
A New
In Pennsylvania the other day a
Hungarian made application for
citizenship. Among other ques
tions the judge asked, “Who is
president of the United States?”
“Mark Hanna,” replied the ap
plicant. “ Why do you think so?”
asked the judge. By way of re
ply the applicant pulled from his
pocket a newspaper and pointed to
an editorial sentence which read:
“Notwithstanding the claim of
thr republicans, Mark Hanna is
president.” The Hungarian was
passed, and became an American.

tients in the state.

A few days ago Professor Crook
of Chicago told his class of young
men in the Northwestern University
that he had never touched liquor,
smoked, chewed, said a profane
word or kissed a woman. This as
tonishing declaration immediately
caused a sensation, and before night
the young professor, who is said to
be handsome, healthy and not a
crank, became the talk of the town.
Indignation was expressed by prom
inent women right and left, not
merely because the professor had
classed love with the other frivoli
ties named, but because he boasted
of his ability to continue a life real
ly ascetic so far as the fair sex and
intoxicants are concerned. The sto
ry is funniest, however, in its. sequel.
The next day the professor was “del
uged by offers of marriage” by tele
phone, telegraph and letter from
“maids, widows and grass widows,”
all the offers breathing “a spirit of
idolatry, reverence and warm senti
mental devotion.” Those hundreds
of unlucky men who are driven to
advertise “a loving heart” through
the newspapers should take a hint
from Professor Crook’s experience
and announce their absolute indif
ference instead.
A Well street story has it that
George J. Gould has made $5,000,-
000 in the last four vea.s. Half of
that sura, the story goes, has been
made daring the past two months.
“Leaving out the fractions,” says
the New York correspondence of the
Baltimore Sun, “Mr. Gould’s earn
ing capacity when working for him
self is $7 every time the clock ticks.
President McKinley works a whole
year to earn what Mr. Gould makes
in three hours of an afternoon.”
Captain Lara, chief of the» ve
police of Manila, was killed \vh le in
the discharge of his duty. The gev-
emment, in grateful recognition of
his services, has granted his widow
the exclusive cock-fighting franchise
for the city of Manila. The fran
chise, it is said, is worth $10,000 ,r
more a year, since cock-fighting is
the national sport Thus we have a
new pension system instituted under
the auspices of the United States,
and one that is capable of considera

it, indeed, Aguinaldo might be trans
formed from a white elephant into a

the franchise for poker rooms or
dope joints, either of which could
be made a good thing by careful
nursing.—Savannah News.
