MOSEY, STOCKS AND GRAIN

New lork Hears Became Ajreressive and Knocked Down the Stock List. Soon u Londoners Begin to Boy Local Traders Flood the Market At Indianapolis Cere &ls Were Firmer and IIiher. THE HOND MAKKET. Railroad Issues Unusually Quiet, Following Stock. At New York, Saturday, money on call waa easy at 1 per cent., the last loan being made at l1, closing offered at lli per cent. Tnme mercantile paper, 2",'25 percent. Sterling exchange was quiet but farm t S-LKU for eixty-day bills aad H1 for demand. ILe total Bales of stocks "were 116,3:6 shares, including tbe following: Atchison, 1.550; Chicago Gas, 1.K0; Erie, 1,520; Louisville fc NashTille. l.tCS; .Northern Pacifio preferred. 5.S24: New England, 135: Heading. 13,500; St. raul, 7,215; Western Union. 1.778. The t.tock market has played a moderate Tolnme of business to-day. but the animation was again at the expense of values, the besrs, in the inarkud absence of organized support, becoming aggressive, and their operations resulted in material looses among the stocks which received particular attention from them. These were prmciDallv Burlington, liock Island, Northern I'acitio preferred. Lakawanna, Sugar, Kansas & Texas. The only strong points in the list were held without making any material improvement. There was considerable encouragement to the bulls at the opening in the shape of bnying. apparently for London account, but as usual of late, upon the appearance of foreign buying, selling begins with more vigor, and while it is preposterous to say that no long stocks come upon the market, Che propelling force in the declines established is undoubtedly the short sales of the bears. The general list, as a rule, was dull and as featureless as usual, and tho lirra opening was succeeded by a drooping temper, in eympathv with the movement among th leaders. The close was fairly active and weak at about the lowest prices of the day. Railroad bonds were unusually quiet, the total transactions being only 613.000. while -the prevailing temper of the share list waa closely followed, with the result of making eome material losses for the day. The most prominent case was the Kansas & Texas seconds, which were sold dowu on the probabilities of the non-payment of the next coupon. The other changes, however, wero generally insignificant, and the number of bonds traded in was unusually small. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were neglected.

BLOWN CP BI DYNAMITE.

Two Persons Killed and Three Injured hj Enemies cf a Pennsylvania Jeweler. riTTsnrriG. Pa., June 4. About 1 o'clock this morning an explosion -of dynamite occurred at Kensington. Pa., in the house of J. K. Turner, a jeweler. Two persons were killed instantly. They are J. K. Turner, jeweler, and Misa Emma Scbett'er of Emlenton, Pa. The wife and two chililrxn of Mr. Turner were badlr ininred. That the bouse was blown up deliberately seems certain. 3lr. lurner was never known to have dynamite in his dwelliug or store. The explosion was of trreat Jorce, breaking windows and doors at somo aistance.. GOWClt ROniNSON'S LIFE. An American Tlcture of the Man Whom Lieutenant lletheriugton Killed. Boston Letter in New Yrk run. The following extracts from a private let ter, dated Yokohama. April 12, to a leading resident of this city lrom a tormer dostonian. throws considerable light upon the personal character of Gower Robinson. whom Lieutenant iletherinston killed, ana explains why there was a swift change in the public sympathy to lletherinaton wnen the facts in the case became known: "It is certain that the best part of the community, after tho lirst heat of passion, roused by what seemed to be a willful as sault. but what has since been proved to have been the unpremeditated act of a noble man hounded to frenzy, has entirely approved of lletheriiigtou's deed. "Kobinson was not a wealthy Lnsltsn banker. For many years he was a clerk in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, and was gradually promoted until he occupied the position of cashier, or. as we would call it, paying teller. In course of time he was ottered the next promo tion, viz.. to be accountant, but declined. alleging as his reason tor so dointr that he preferred to remain cashier because his duties were linished each day when he had balanced his cash, and were not resumed until just beforo 10 o'clock the next morn ing, thus giving him more leisure than any other person in the bank, excepting the manager, undoubtedly the intimate in tercourse with people of all sorts and conditions who came to him to transact business not forgottiug the fact that among the thousands of globe-trotters who call at the banks for money there are many attractive women was entirely congenial to liobinson. "Having once declined promotion, he fell out of the line, as it were, and by and by. when ho saw juniors passing over his head. he realized that he had made a mistake, and began to chafe. About a year ago he left the bank and established himpelf as a stock, exchange and bullion broker. He soon lormed a partnership with a yonng Dane, Vladimir Iliad. They were probably very well contented when they had $GX or SOO to divide at the end of a month; but wealthy! iso. "In personal appearance Kobmson was to many people to almost all women attractive. He had a handsome, effeminate face, bright ey 8, good complexion and a daintv moustache. He was always most carefully groomed arfd was neatness itself. He was always overdressed, never well dressed; flashy and conspicuous, but that in itself is awfully allunngtomany women. No healthy-minded man wears - French heels! "Gower'e pin cushion, larue even had it been intended for a lady's dressing table, bristled with nearly a hundred scarf-pins. Dainty boxes and cabinets were tilled with linger rings, buttons, lockets und Knickknacks, lie carried his cigarettes in a real gold case. For clothing, he had enough such as it was to have stocked a fair-sized shop, but it would have been diihcult of sale, for few sensible men care to wear shirts cut so low in the neck as to expose the chest, or waistcoats that fairly howl, they are so loud, borne ot the young blades, in moments of hilarious festivity, used to amuse themselves by dis arranging the shelves and then laugh at Oowers wildness at hnding'his treasures in confusion. "His appearance at the meetings of the Yokohama Kace Club in jacket, tights. boots, and spurs when be rode, as ho often did for the ladies' purse, and wou, too, or in light overcoat, lavender trousers, patent leather boots and white top hat when he gave the ladies a treat in the paddock or grand-stand was something to be remem bered. "His attentions were limited strictly to married women young ones by preference if they were ailable. but the old ones, who were Battered by his attentions and were willing to natter him in return, were not neglected when no new young beauty was In the neld. boveral times the yonng man had been warned by irate husbands to cease obnoxious attentions, and in a way which made him, although a good fencer and clever with the gloves, draw oil. He was an arrant coward and dreaded of all things personal chastisement. It is a thou sand pities tnat lletnerinitton was pre vented from horsewhipping Kobinson long ago. It would have disgraced the latter and stopped his nonsense, while it would have Jeit the former s hands clean. "It is news indeed to hear that 'Gower Kobinson was known ns the handsomest man in Yokohama.' He did come of a good English family, but his maternal grandmother was an Italian, and the strain of blood sho.ved very distinctly in his ap pearance, manners and accomplishments. He had very little to do with general so ciety, preferring to devote himself entirely to private atlairs, and the wonder is that he had not been driven from thecountry at the end of a cowhide long ago. "The trial revealed a systematic hounding of poor Hetberington to madness, and he has been acquitted. It speaks well for lokohama tnat a number ot Englishmen, liobinson's own countrymen, proposed to take the horses out of hi& carriage, when became from the court to drive to the jetty to go on board the Marion, and drag it themselves." TRAINING FOR HEALTH, Severe Course Prescribed for Patients Who Wlsli Vo Recuperate 1'Iiyslcally. New York Evening Post. Perhaps athletes are to be the physicians of the future, for it has beeome somewhat the fashion for men broken in health throuuh overwork or in Kb. living to so to them for treatment. A welJ-knowu athlete wuo takes charge of such cases, treating his patients at a little farm that he own?, describes the regime in bis camp. Tobacco and liquor are prohibited, and a prompt rising ut O o'clock without au extra wiuic of sloep insisted upon. I he first day. light calisthenics, bath, and rubbing down follow rising; then the patients dress in flannels and outer garments that are not too heavy, and take a short walk. At 8 o'clock a breakfast of fruit, oat-meal or cracked wheat, with a little milk. eggs. boiled or poached, toast or stale bread. and one cup of tea or couee is served. No greasy food and little water or other liquids are allowed. After break fast the patients rest for an hour or an honr and a half, in the open air if the weather is line, reading or talking. At 10 o'clock a rapid walk of three or four miles is taken, or a horse-back ride. Those in training for feats of strength fpnt on sweaters and travel ten or twelve miles. Slowly at first and increasing the pace till it becomes a trot, then a run. When too tired to keep up. then the pace is moder ated until the men are rested, when more rapid movement is begun again. Upturn ing homo at noon the men wrap themselves in blankets, and lie down in a large room that has been thoroughly aired. If thirsty they are permitted a little hot water, nut a drop of cold. When in a pro fuse perspiratiou they are quickly rubbed down and wrapped agflin in their blankets until perspiring again, and once more rubbed down. The next thing is a cold piunge in a large room where the water. kept at a temperature of 70. flows through a large tank tilled with rock salt. Three showers of thirty seconds each are then had and the patients are znbbed dry and given massage. They then rest until the l-o'ciock dinner, a meal of roast or boef lied rot, boiled potatoes, cabbage, car rots, parsnips, or other vegetables that are wholesome, all plainly cooked. Neither gravies fried foods, sweets, nor a dessert of any kind are permitted. A patient anxious to increase his weight may have a glass of ale or liurgundy. A rest of two hours follows the dinner.

A LEADER IN AMERICAN CARICATURE. Joseph Keppler, the Originator of Colored ' Cartoons. Jweph B. Blsliop. in June Century. The founder and chief developer of con temporary political caricature in America, as we behold it in the many-colored cartoons of Puck and Judge, was a young artist and actor from Vienna, named Joseph Keppler, who reached tU Louis in lbCS in search oz nis ioriune. He had studied drawing under the best teachers in Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts. but a strong inclination for acting had taken him npon the stage. During the tirst year or two alter his arrival in America ne went about the country as a member of a traveling theatrical troupe, appearing in the theaters of many cities, including those of St Louis, New Orleans and New York. His hand turned naturally to caricature, and after vain attempts to .sell some of his drawings to daily newspapers in fu Louis, he etarted in that city in 1N,9 an illustrated lithographic weekly, in German, with the title Die Vehme. The subject of his first caricature was Carl Soburz, at that time a conspicuous ligure in St. Louis. The paper had a short lite, and was succeeded, in 1S?0, by a new venture called ruck. Two volumes of this were issued. that of the first year being in German alone, and that of the second in both German and English. The enterprise was doing fairly well when Keppler was com pelled to abandon it, ile went to New York city in 1873, where he did some work for a weekly illustrated paper for a time, and also reappeared npon the local stage as an actor. In September, 1870, the first number of Puck of the present day was ltsned m German, and in March, 1877, the first number in English made its appearance. The Puck of those early days was a very different thing from what it is now. Its cartoons were drawn on wood, and were in white and black. The drawing was strong, but the composition of the pictures was almost as crude as that of the old lithograph sheets. Keppler at first followed the French and Italian scnoois or carica ture, exaggerating the size of the beads aud the length oi the legs. He very soon abandoned this, howmm a . ever, and began to leei his way toward the gradual unfolding of what under bis guidance has become a distincta a . . k . m a 1 fcii ly American scnooi ox caricature, iu into he began to draw on atone, and in order to brighten the etlect of bis pictures he com menced to tint them slightly with a single color. In 1879 two colors or tints were used, and from that time on the growth haabeen steady and rapid nntil the bright and multicolored cartoon of the present day has been reached. Calling Down an Actor. New York Ledger. A well-known actor, who advertises him self by a conspicuous display of diamonds. was parading the veranda of a hotel in Dal las. Tex., with several of his gems in tight After strolling paat a group of ladies several times ho suddenly stopped and said to them: "Ah. I see that you admire my diamonds. Permit me. This one is worth $2,000. This cost me 12,500. This olnster pin 1 valne at fS.000. 1 have with me diamonds worth 530,000, and I own $10,000 worth which I have stored for safe keeping in a Chicago bank." The ladies smiled upon him silently and contemptuously, and he took his depart ure. That evening, when the actor en tered the hotel dining-room, he was seated at a table in the middle of the room alone. A few minutes latter a half dozen young men in full dress entered the dining-room, in a body and sat down at the same table. In the center of each immaculate shirt front shone a bit of plate-glass as large as a marble, while brass rings bearing great settings of glass fairly loaded down the hands of the newcomers. The actor glanced about the table and his jaw dropped from sheer astonishment Before he could recover himself one of the young men arose, and. walking around the table to the actors seat he said in a tone that was distinctly audible throughout tho room: "Ah. I see you Admire my diamonds. Permit me. This one is worth 8 cents a pound, retail. This cost me a nickel, just as it is. This one I value at a dime, l .have with me seventy cents' worth of gems, and I own a glass-works at Chicago besides." The actor was speechless, and. without finishing his supper, hastily arose and left the room, followed by a lively chorus of ehs and ohs. Municipal Politics. Moorfield Storey, in New England Magazine. The tendency in this country is to con-, centrate innnicipal authority in a few hands. In Glasgow and Birmingham the best results are achieved by enlisting a large number of able citizens and dividing the work among them, some taking charge of sewers, others of. lights, others of water, etc It makes little dilterence which system prevails if only good men are induced to do the work. Make it in popular estimation as great a tribute to a man's business ability to make him an alderman as it is to make him a director of a bank or railroad, and men will be glad to take positions in the city -government Make it. as it is to day, rather a questionable distinction to be prominent in city politics, and except the few whose public spirit leads them to do a disagreeable public duty, or whose ambition makes them take municipal office as the first step in public life, the men who hold city office will do neither their city nor themselves any credit If your city officers are bad men we cannot have too tew. Of aldermen or counoilmeu who intriguo for patronage or consider only what their votes or infiuence in the city legislature can be made to yield, the fewer we have the better. Once persuade the people that the government of a city is a mere matter of business, and induce them to treat it as such, and muuicipal reform is assured. I low tlie Queen Proposed. New York Commercial Advertiser. When Queen Victoria proposed to Prince Albert the otter was accepted at once, and the happy Pribce Consort-elect wrote the following letter to his grandmother at Gotha. The letter has been preserved half a century, and is now among the aged and yellow documents which are preserved among the historical records: 'The Queen sent for me alone to her room and deolared to me. iu a genuine outburat of direction, that I bad gained her whole heart and would make her intensely happy If I would make her the sacrifice of sharing my life with her, for she said she looked on it as a sacrifice; the only thing whieh troubled her was that she did not think she was worthy of me. The joyous openness with which she told me this enehanted me and I was quite carried away by it" In the meantime the Queen wrote to Baron Storkmar. to whom she had said but a while before that she would no marry yet awhile: "I do feel so guilty I know not how to begin my letter, but I think the news it will contain will be sufficient to insure your forgiveness. Albert has completely won my heart and all was settled between ns this morning. I feel certain be will make roe happy. 1 wish 1 could feel as certain of my making him happy!" flere's an Idea, Philadelphia Press. If you have an old-fashioned silver castor don't keep it auy longer tucked away on the top shelf iof tho china closet Get it down, unscrew the top piece and standard, take out the bottle rack, leaving merely the silver body, into which get a tinsmith to fit a little pan with a drawing hole to fit over the screw hole of the castor body, and when the silver is polished you will have as handsome and fashionable a fern-holder for the center of your dinner tables as yon conld buy for a considerable price at tho stores. Why It Rains on Paget Sound. Seattle Prens-Tlmes. For thorough, all-around, easy-going enjoyment of existence Puget sound has an average of advantages possessed by no other place on earth. The Lord has been good to Puget Sound. He has given the middle West a monopolv of the cyclone business, the south has exclnsivo control ot the output of snakes and reptiles, the East Its periodical blizzards aud other climatic atllictions, and entirely forgotten to visit Puget sound with any exoees of weather, except of rain, and that is

An Architect's Trick. Cos ton Transcni t. The petty trick of so arraying the names of immortal geniuses in the murol Inscription on the public library as to form an acrostic advertising card of the architects' firm, if it be an apprentice's trick must not only be disavowed, it must be erased. Now that it has been discovered and given to the public, like the figure of some animal accidentally formed by tree branches, ona would be able to see nothing else iu the facade, majestic as it is. Indeed, the mora dignified and imposing the building th bigger the joko becomes. Not even thej eminent firm of architects in question could stand such an eternal guflaw, and, the public which pays the bill certainly will not. , C. E. KREGELO k WHllffi FUNERAL DIRECTORS. 125 1ST.
