Chioag'o, Mardh 5.—Reports of snow pro teot-ion and app eh en 3kns of ctmseruerft ira/roage created a rat-fier firm feaTing fn wh«at today and an advance of 14c was caaxle in spite yf Che iHfen^e'dullness .that, prevailed aSl 'through the sessions -t 1

Corn was weak and raced sligh'tly, whale Data advanced a frixjtkxn. Prosivi© were fthn and. closed iugjhfeil.

Wtoeat jbad ainbtiher duM day, and t'he fluctuation^ w^re even narrower than yesterday, the eatrame range being1 only %e. There- was an under curren't c*f firmness, and while .the news was ratiher scarce 'there was nothing very

bearish,

bitt Oin the contrary, it wuts 01 a nature to held the price, li it was era wiled to any influence at aJl.

YVtae&t opened firm and praettcaly unchanged, at from 60% to 6?ysc for May, but the trading was on a very limited scit.le uhen aind uttr tiwo hours tneneaiDter, fluctuating between 6ti% and 67Vfec wlcn tJhe bulk of the business during that time at G6%c.

The opening strength was due to the English cables which were steady and firm, tlhe first quotation quoting Liverpool a turn dearer t/he north/western deliveries of wheat were 160 cars smaller than a week ago and seventy oars lighter •Ohan a year ago, While the primary deliveries at western poinits wore much lighter than a week ago or even a year ago.

In addition to this, tlhe weather Is generally looked upon as very trying for wheat, awl crop damage repOrta are numerous. The speculators were very cautious, however, and -Uhere was little urgency 'in the selling tout wihile the buying was not especially active, it was sufficient to absorb the floating tots so t'hat they failed to depress the market. Besides 100,000 bushels of wneat sold to go tp Buffalo, which was one of the elements of the early strength, a round lot of No. 1 ruortlhem -was reported near the cflose of the session to (have been sold for immediate shipment, and that finally lifted an pextreme&y sduggiislh market out of the ru-t and closed it firm at 67%, the highest point of the day's fluctuations.

Corn was almost lifeless and wliat little trading there was was within %c margin. Liberal receipts and poor oaish. "business created a weak feeling:, and May opening unchanged at 30%c, sold off to 30*40 and closed at that.

Oata -were fairly active, there (being good buying by shippers and elevator mem. May opened a shade higher at 21(9) 21fflc, and Weld steady under good support, closing at tthait price fold'.

F^xyVlstons were strong at t'he opening, due to the small hog redelpts, but offerings were so liberal itiha't the advamce was soon lost.

STOCKS, MONEY AND BONDS.

fcndustrlals and Railways Divide Testernay's Trading. "Neje York, March '5.—The business in the stock market today was a"boiuit evenly £vfded 'beltrweein the railway shares and

Industrials. 11 the first class, Baltimore and Ohio attracted the greatest attention on account of. exceptional weakness. lAntiWpartfon, of radical treatment of the securtaes in any saheme of rehablrttatlton otf tlhe property caansed renewed extensive liquidation of the sitock result ing in .an extreme decline of 4 per cent *9 15!4. tlhe dotweat pal rut on record. In the industrials, Totoacoo iheJd first place ir volume of trading and extent of flucuta tios. Tlhe primary cause of the animation In this specialty was the varying gossip in relation to ithe con/test "between the company and the outside manufactures. An early decline of per cent was folIIowed by a rally of 1%, due ostensibly to the annjounoennenit of an advamce of 1 cent per pound in the price of the company's standard 'brand of plug tobacco.

Subsequently a raid was made on t'he £tock wih'ksh resulted dtn a slump of 2% Per cent. The final sale recorded a net loss of a point. Tlhe liquidation by Jtnsid ers was also believed to be discernible.

The London cables retorted 'lower 'prices a/t that center. Tlhe early course of the general list was erratic but tending torward a lower level. Subsequently improvement ocourred tinder the leadership «f a covering movement "in Burlington. That stock rose 1%, partly oh purchases "by a epecuilaUvie organization. Boston 'buying advanced General Electric 1 per cent. The balance of 'the list was without feature, aside from a drop of IV2 per cent in Rubber, attributed to powerful interests that have withdrawn from the board otf directors. Later 'tihe loss was recovered buit renowetd s^lltag caused a net loss of per cent. In the final hour a general selling movement started, In which declines of 1@2 per cent from the best figures were scored.

WJTH IT IKE PRATT OF VERMONT ^HAS kiLLEU MANY BEARS.

Association With Tbls Weapon and Hil Modesty Have Made Him the G. W. ol Bear Hunters—How He Sets and Bait]

His Traps For Unsuspecting Brain.

Ike Pratt of Bennington, Vt., is the man who kills bears with a ntftchefc. fie does not go still-banting tJuem in the woods with this domestic weapon. He waits antU he gets them into a trap before he begins splitting them, but, considering the number ol bears he has converted into meat this

fwa7

and the faot that at 7-3

yejars he is stiU in the business, his specialty as a bear man* is worthy of epeclai note. When he goes out to empty'his traps, lie carries a gun with him for safety, and 00oasionally when he finds some unusually quick tempered and uncompanionable bear he has to use it. Occasionally, too, when he hasn't his hatohet with him he uses a stout club. But his regular bear stioking outfit consists of his hatchet and a big jackknife, with a blade like an eighteenth century pirate's cutlass, which he uses to do the final oarving. Ike doesn't think his method of dispatching bears is remarkable. Apparently he regards bear sticking in niuoh" the same commonplaoe light as pig sticking.

The success which he has been able to achieve in bis long career of bear slaying has been due, it seems, to bis careful attention to details. When he runs across his bear, caught, in his trap, he always makes sure first that he lain tight. If he had almost torn his fool off, or was so slightly caught that he might at last break away, he might put the hunter in an embarrassing position. Having assured himself of tbis, Mr. Pratt gets out his hatchet or bis club, sticks his knife in a tree near by and goes to work.

With bears, as with men, Mr. Pratt thinks, it makes a difference how they are approached., Most people rush up to them too suddenly and get them ail excited, and then there is trouble. He himself walks up in a calm and confidential way and waits around, he says, just outside of the reach of the tethered animal, until tho bear gets sort of used to him. Then he draws up his hatchet and waves it around in front of tho bear, and, when he sees a chance he raps him, either between the eyes or 011 the nose. That stuns the bear, and before he collects hiso'bruised and wandering thoughts Ike lias jumped in with his knife and emptied his remaining life through his jugular vein. Bears are good boxers, be says, b.qt he, never missed his blow yet.

It makes a difference, hp^eyer, just how a bear is hitched tq.aJtrap. l\Vith only his hind leg caught it inak.es the problem more intricate than When hg is heldvdown by a front paw, and often in the latter case he had to go'to the expense of shooting them. A bear that is'quite old, too, will discourage too close acquaintance on the part of any'But"then it is all a matter of knack. Thete was a man in Pownal a few years ago, "Ee says, who didn't have*the knack. In fact, it waS his first bear that he, tackled. I|e heard it yelling back of the lip'use and started out with his ax. The first.blow the bear countered and knocked' the ax out of the man's hand. Tlien he turned a complete somersault, and when he caixie up again he carried th6 man's shirt and vest, arid also considerable of the superficial area of his abdomen, on his hind claws. This made the man somewhit more cautious. He waited arbuli'd a good while and took a good deal of lively exercise, but finally he got in a lirst class hit, which raised lite batting average considerably and won the game. But ho had a good day's bear hunting out df it when it was all done.

Mr. Pratt has another distinction. For reasons best known to himself, perhaps from his long association with his little hatohet, he Is tho George Washington of local bear hunters. He is no(t an imaginative, poefeic sportsman like that inspired autobiographical bea* hunter of Williamstown, John Barney Wright On the contrary, he is just

fine workman with

bears, who enjoys his work from tha standpoint of an artistio workman, but takes it niore or less as a matter of course, without any fuss or self advertisement. For instance, when asked how many jbears he has kUled. in Jiis lifotime, ho figtores thertumber.at abouMOp .Now, as ho been trapping since he was 25 years »old, or for 48 seasons, almost continuously Jand has taken out of. the woods from two Jto six bears every year the probability is jthat his soore is fully, 100 by this time. -But not only does, he. probably underestimate the size of his catch, but he claims that in all his experiences, with his bears he has never had any particularly exciting times.

Mr. Pratt comes by jiia sporting instincts naturally, for both his grandfather and his father were the .greatest hunters of their tiine9 and used to chase the deer about the hills to the eastward of the vil lage when deer were more plenty than foxes are now. Ike thinks, however, that in his long experience he has improved on the methods of his ancestors and says he would like to try trapping with them now, His father, he says, always thought it was necessary to 6ot.h!& traps in a spring hole, but he has found he has fully as good sucoess on bare ground. He generally tries to find a place where the animals cross through the woods. Sometimes they have beaten paths, he says, just like oattle. In these paths he sets his. traps. He is a great man for finding traced'.arid "dents" of bears. "Dent" is early nineteenth century for4'tracks.'' Ike never says1'traoks.'' In bating Mr. Pratt prefersa sheep's head, but he also uses, other meat and honey occasionally. He doeh't think much of bait ointment, for he says when bears are looking for food thdy generally find the trap, and when thdy don't want it you can't induce them to touch your bat anyway. In the summer when vegetable food is plenty and in winter when the bears get through eating naturally he thinks it generally all use to t?ap for them.—Springfield

Uniform Spelling.

A discussion having been raised in the oolumns of The Times as to the correct spelling of certain words, Dr. E. A. Abbott expressed strong opposition £0 a rigid official othography, saying, "Is it not time that we should give up this wasteful, arbitrary and often erroneous attempt at uniformity?" Professor J. Earle echoes this opinion, asserting that the process of compelling a uniform orthography is a strife against nature. lianguage is a product of life, and it shares the incidents of life, of whloh none is more pervading than abhortenoe of fixity.

Geological ISrrors.

The easy liability of geologists to erroneous conclusions is set forth in a paper by Mr. F. D. Power. He thinks it unwise to assume that, because the gravel of a river comes from the rooks of its watersheds and there are undiscoverable any fragments of soft rook among the pebbles, so soft rook exists within that area, it being, indeed, quite within tfie range of possibility, and highly probable, that the soft rock was unable to hold its own among the harder debris, and became worn to sand or silt the supposition, too, tha^ one single accompaniment is sufficient cause for particular resuit must be qualified by the consideration that others are •tea JoaoBsta&i^sat*.

THOUGHTS OF,$REAT ACTORS.

Mr. I»unt's Valuable'.^Collection of Antographirf Offerinsri From the Stage.

A valuable and unique collection of signatures and autogrcyphio sentiments by distinguished actox^^aiid actresses'of the past and present is ,"contained in a large acrapbook owned bjjj. Osborne Lunt, as

sistant

treasurer of tfieStar theater. Mr.

Lunt has been 20 ySars making his tlon.Here are some of its contributions, which are of sentimental interest, at least to those who admire eminent personages Of the drama:

John T.' Baymond writes his famous line, "There's millions in it." "Bearing the cross. Time is short, and, If your oross be heavy, remember you have not far to carry it," is from the beautiful emotional actress, Matilda Heron, who has since laid down her burden. "Ye seek in vain who, having, cal&ot hold," is the opinion of Clara Morris.

The line of Bob Brlerly in "The Ticket of Leave Man," "Poor broken heart hunted down,'"' is in the strong hand of W. Florence. '_a "We are arrant knaves all believe none of us," quotes J.' W. Carroll, the old comedian of tho WaTIack company. ^.

Harry Montague, J^eW YoflEVmfisti $bp ular matinee actor, quoted the famous lilies from Tennyson, "True h'ett?£s are more than coronets and simple faith than Norman blood."

Charley Thome, another leading man who was a feminine idol, now also dead, wrote with a,touch of world weariness, "I am pleased to think my name is of some use to you it is 6t very little to me." "Ever dhou," sdiribbled the late J. K. Emmet. "All the world's stage," writes Mrs. Q. H. Gilbert. "Tp hold the mirror up to nature," is the sentiment of ifine. Ponisi.

Quoting from "As You Like It," Mrs. John Wood says oi her name, "A poor thing, but mine own.?' "You shall know all tomorrow," is the Comforting assurance of M. W. Leffingwell, once the gr6at burlesque comedian of Niblo's, who has' since learned the great secret for himself. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead," is by Frank Mayo

Steele Mackaye, fdr whom a thousand friends and admirers still mourn, wrote, "I regret that you will permit me only to return you so worthless a thing as the name of J. Steele Mackaye."

Mme. Janauscjhek qtiotes BrunhiWe, "Where thought''Shears there ignorance tarries not."

John McCullot|gh .proclaimed, "There ib a world elsewhere.'' Genevievo Ward,1 now retired in England, but once a great Queen Katherine at Booth's theater, remarks cynically, "All hoods make not monk's."

These are only a few of the expressions, sage and witty, that fill Mr. Lunt's volliriiB. In addition are hundreds of autographs, among them the signatures of Edwin Booth, Joseph Jefferson, Charlotte Cushman, E. A. Sothern, Mark Smith, H. S, Murdoch, Edwin Forrest, Lester Wallack, Honry Irving, Ellen Terry, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kendal, Maurice Barrymore, Lotta, Maggie Mitchell, Osmond Tearle, Dion Boucicault, Ristori, Salvini, Duse, Bernhardt, Coquelin, Lydia Thompson, ISfcilson, Mary Anderson, Langtry, John Brougham, D&n Bryant, Parepa-Bosa, Patti and Jenny'Eihd.—NeW York Her-' aid.

A Question of Tarnish.

Varnish, some one has said, isthegreateistof tho "old masters." How much it has to do with some of the queer Gothic, Byzantine and pre-Rapba.ellte misfits that have been exploited in New York I would hardly dare, to say. Its mantle, too, like that of charity, covers a multitude of sins—of the "restorer." Oddly enough, though, while some buyers delight in nice, n$w_ varnish, which, duly tinted, gives th# flauch prized "golden tone," they cannot,-abide ever

It is either m&stio or copal varnish that has to be remove^ from the old picture, and there is danger in either case. Mastio Varnish can only be got rid of by constant rubbing, and that is very likely to make the painting "bloom." Copal varnish is readily dissolved'tiy alcohol, which, in Inexperienced handg, is almost certain to eat into the painting itself. The expert picture cleaner seeks to avoid tbis by the rapidity witll which he uses the sponge in one hand as he washes away the alcohol with another sponge dipped in turpentine before the alcohol can do any harm.—Art Ama,teur.

Some Remarkable Jumps.

Long jumping must be something worth seeing when the winner is forced to jump upward of three-quarters of a hundred feet in order to gain the prize. At the great athletio meeting held at Stockholm in 1894 there were several competitors In the "running springboard jump," each of whom managed to clear more than

the winner making a record of 70 feet 3 Inches. The Swedes ahd Norwegians, it is true, do not jump in the same fashion that Americans do. They have a runway at the athletio grounds at Stockholm which Is down the side of a hill 200 feet In height* At the bottom of this an Immense springboard is set in such a way that the "spring" end is six feet above the ground. Xt is froin this that the jump is taken. However, if we think of the matte* properly, this 70 foot flight through the air is a wonderful feat after all.—St. Louis Republic.

Civilization.

It is a philosophio writer who thinks the root of the servant question lies in "dishes, knives and- forks,", which he terms .the curse of our civilization." Instead, therefore, of arguing for a remedy for the effect—viz, the servants—he thinks energy should be directed.- toward removing the cause. The world: will be better and mankind will be happier, he maintains, when diahes cheap enough t? b® discarded at every meal are manufactured and the burden of perennial dish washing removed. —New Yofk Times.
