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.

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. People in New York state have learned with disagreeable surprise that out of every three hundred inhabitants within its borders is an inmate of some kind of hos pital for the insane.

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.
