WILD SCENES.

The Lambs Are Properly Sheared Yesterday by the Sharks of the Stock Market.

Special to The Journal. NEW YORK, May 9—The great excitement and heavy decline in practically all securities, except' Northern Pacific, which began on the stock exchange yesterday, continued to-day. From the moment of the exchange's opening the trading was furiously active, and for the first half hour, at least, apparently without support, although Northern Pacific rose higher and higher on the bidding of the frightened shorts. This stock rose rapidly from 170 to 190, and then, almost without a pause, the advance kept on.

All this time, as fast as Northern Pacific went up, other stocks were going down. The opening declines in New York Central, Missouri Pacific, Louisville and Atchison ranged from 2 to 5 points, and it seemed for a time as if orders were being given to sell without regard to prices. This wildness was uninterrupted until about 10:40 when for the moment, at least, there was a disposition to steadiness.

Northern Pacific stock opened at 170, went to 1,000 before noon and finally closed at 350, sensationally breaking all records in the stock market. At the close it was ackhowledged that the Morgan-Hill combination had been beaten to a standstill. The market fluctuated wonderfully during the xnorningfalthough the decline in everything but the Northern Pacific was noticed. The break for real values has begun and with the one exception not a stock on the market but closed lower than the opening. Some of them closed many points lower.

Dearest mother thou has left, And our loss we deeply feel. But'tis God that has Dereft us.

He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled, When in Heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tears are shed.

Weep not, mother's toils are over. Weep not that her race is run God grant we may rest as calmly,

When our work, like hers is done. 'Til then we yield with gladness, Our mother to him to keep, And rejoice in the sweet assurance. "He giveth his loved one sleep." Precious mother, she has left us,

Left us, yes, forever more But we hope to meet our loved one, On that bright and happy shore. Lonely the house, and sad the hours

Since our dear one has gone But oh! a brighter home than ours, In Heaven Is now her own.

Call not back the dear departed. Anchored safe where the storms are o'er On the border land we left her,

Soon to meet and part no more. When we leave this world of chances When we leave this world of care. We shall And our missing love one

In our Father's mansion fair.

Through all pain at times she'd smile. A smile of Heavenly birth And when the angels called her home

She smiled farewell to earth. Heaven retalneth now our treasure. Earth the lonely casket keeps, And the sunbeams love to linger

Where our sainted mother sleeps. CHAS. SAKJTOBD. "JOHN'S BEST" flour—a home product. Buy it.

Good Show.

Theater goers will bo given an opportunity to see one of the most cleverly written and one of the best staged dramas produced in recent years when "Human Hearts" comes to Music Hall May 15. This play which has run the gauntlet of the dramatic critics throughout the United States for the past four years and never received anything but enconiums like "Shore Acres" and plays of kindred type, portrays simple country people in their home surroundings. Being laid in the hills of Arkansas its author has afforded an opportunity for depicting characters whose traits peculiar to themselves have furnished America's best writers with many a theme of intense human interest. The comedy side of these people is so nicely blended in "Human Hearts" with a deep heart interest of a pretty and well told story that the auditors must perforce smile through tears that will not be restrained. It is a play that none who love the best in dramatic art should fail to see.,, Jt:,.
