Tlio weak opcntnR CHblcH , the decline in the
Now Yoik markets , the remarkably favoiablo
weather shown everywhere and tbo nntlcl-
pated heavy Increase m the visible supply ,
combined to dlscour.iKO the bulls. Soiling wus
goner.il nnd persistent , Exhausted murRlns
nnd slop-loss orders cut n considerable IIsure ,
and nil foreign markets teemed to bo on llio

but the solllnR pressure was enormous , anil In

Tlio market qululi ! ? showed n disposition to

scorns to have lost his grip and his wheat
today on this brilliant weather und weak ca
bles. Those who have Ininxlned that 8Jo was

market will turn until tbo gov
ernment report is Issued next month ,
unless It should In the meantime bscomo evi
dent that the report is sure to bo a bad one.
The report should bo favorable , ut least indl-
catlons point that way , and wheat should bo
n safe purchase on Its merits' , wo believe. The

STOCKS AND 1IONDS.
Signing of tlio Heading Bill lies trie toil
Operations In Gonerul.
NEW Yomc , March 28 , The stock market
today was again a limited ono , the uncer
tainty ever the silver question , the slgnlng of
the Heading bill by the governor of Now Jer
sey nnd tlieshrlnkii'io of loans by the Now
York banks ull tending to restrict operations
especially for the long account und the buy-
throughout the day was of a scattering
order , while there were evidences of renewed
activity on the part of u lead In ; boar opera
tor. This was especially not'ible In the early
dealings when thu prcssiiro of stocks for sale
carried prices down over I per cent nnd v/lillo
the covering of shorts at the decline wns
Biifllclcnt to cuiiso a general rally
the resistance was no unexpected that only In
a few bhuies was there any fiuthor anima
tion manifested during the rest of the day.
The iirbltrago of the Itcrlng ssa question was
not a'factor In the market. The guner.il.mar-
ket opened ut Inslgnllluant chungo.s from Sat
urday's prices , but the weakness of the load
ers resulted In small fractional losses through
out the list. These were afterwords icstorod
in the general rally und from that tlmo dull
ness mnrkcd tlio dealings und fluctuations
were without very great chance , tlio murkot
finally closing quiet und llrni with most stocks
nt or near the best prices for thu dav , but only
slightly better than flrst prices. The Impor
tant changes , however , were utmost all In the
direction of lower prices and Louis vIllo&Nash-

OMAHA , March 2 ? . The wccK starts out wltli
a rutlior light run of stock , thla bplng In a
grout measure duo to the suvero .storm of Hut-
utdiiy , but tlio wouk tone to the markets at
tlio cliiso undoubtedly had n groit : deal to do
with shutting off recnipts.
The supply of cattle WHS only about u third
ns lance us Hutu relay and fell nbout TOO head
short of last Monday's run. There were plenty
of very decent beeves hero but notnlnx choice ,
andtiioKcnor.il quality of the offerings was
not more than fair. This fact In' a measure
prevented any grout amount of activity on
the purl of snipping nnd export buyers , and
with rather bearish eastern reports they were
but Indlffcrcnt.bldders at best , l.ocul buying
was fair , but Oiiyors were all trying
to cheapen up a llttlo and lilcls
wore generally somewhat lower than
Saturday. It was u slow , dull market
throughout iincl rather grew worse us the
morning advanced , The greater part of the
medium weight steers were nbout steady with
Haturduy'H weak close at from l.a > to IJ.55.
Heavy 1.800 to 1.400 Ib. cattlu were , weak nnd
lownr at from W.OJ to $ J.lU Owing to the
rather brisk feeder demand light 1 > JO to l.l..O
Ib. steers were not quotably changed , selling
around CJ.OO to JJ.tO. :
There was no material change In the mnr-
Icut for butuhcrs' und dinners' stock. Offer

run there was nc erious shrinkage In value of
cattle. The Increase In the supply was gen
erally anticipated , und the pronablo ollect
upon ptlces was discounted lust Friday In a
dee line of lOo to 15c. After rather
a Klow opcnlnz the market became
active as the forr.noon advanced , but the
feeling WUH weak throughout. Fat , light and
medium wcluht steers command relatively
better prices thati those of heavy weight , no
class of buyers caring to handle anything
weighing over 1,450 IDS. Dressed beef anu shlu-
plng steers were < ] Uoted at from HOO to $3.00.

A KENTUCKY COLOSSUS.
One of the ICxtraorillniiry Prodiictloim of
Itourbon County.
The famous Howard family of Bour
bon county. frequuntlyllgui-o in the
papers as being the largest people in the
world. The family consisted of father ,
mother and nine children. The cloven ,
in the ngcrogatc , measure 70 foot and Ji
inch in height , weighed 2,298 pounds ,
and the sum of their entire ages was 657
years. The computed strength of the
father nod six BOIIB was 0,300 pounds.
But Bourbon has another giant , hith
erto overlooked by the dallies , says the
Cincinnati Commercial , who can stand
Hat-footed and roach persimmons where
the tallest of the Howards would have
to resort to a chitir. This colossus is
Joe Cruig , of the Flat Rock precinct.
The balmy breezes fan Joseph's fevered
brow seven feet live and three-quarters
inches above the earth. Ho weighs
! ! 2lj pounds and is 43 years of ago.
When ho visits a locality where ho is
not known cray/ds of astonished people
follow him , gaV.ing at him as if ho did
not belong to this planet , but had
dropped from Jhp clouds.
Craig came 9 Paris as n witness in
the Case-Bryant broach of promise suit
As ho was'a witness for Bryant , ho had
frco access to Jtl o Bourbon house bur ,
und iittomptoui , tb olako his gigantic
thirst. When upbraided for getting
drunk , ho exf/jliii'pcd / that ho did not
take but a mouthful , but upon finding
how the whislcy'alTected him , ho meas
ured tlio capapit 'pf his mouth , and was
astonished to find that it hold u half
gallon. 'J J
When Craig jvjls called to take the
witnebtf stand ho was carrying an invoice
of hand-mado'tonr ' mash. As ho arose
and fullv * inllatiul Ills mammoth lungs ho
looked lko ( VJifoo grand shows" under
one tent Judge Scott was hoard to re
peat those famous lines from Milton :
"Dehomotli , the biggest born of eartb , up
heaved His vastnoss. "
Prosecutor Smith screamed to the
sheriff to "make all of those men sit
down excepting Craig , " while Hon.
William Purnoll fainted and was carried
out.
Notwithstanding Craig's immense
slzo , ho is an intelligent , level-headed
man. Ae ho never works it was sug
gested that ho was bitten by n laboring
man years ugo and now sutlers from a
sort of laborphobia , but G'raii ; says he
put in enough work getting to bo the
largest man in Kentucky.
Circubos and museums have often at
tempted to sceuro him as an attractinn ,
bul nothlixr can tempt him to forsake
Kentucky even for a time. Ho has no
faith in the "Bourbon" of other states.
A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Drnth rolln * llio Siicrnl Note * of n ( Irmul
Olit Hymn.
One who looked the crown over as wo
waited for the train would not hnvo Hot
us down as hard-hearted and Indifferent ,
says a writer in the Now York Sun , but
so wo proved to bo , as a , girl , not over 1J !
years of ago , lending' tin old man who
was Btono blind and very feeble , passed
slowly n round the room soliciting alms ,
They got iv penny hero and there ; but
oven tlioso coins seemed to bo given
grudginglyiind those who gave nothing
consoled themselves with tlio reflection
that the pair were frauds and really
needed no financial assistance. When
they had made the tour of the room the
girl led the old man to a soul in tlio cor
ner , and after u few words had passed
between them they began to sing a
hymn. She had a wonderful volco for a
child , clear and sweet , and his wns n
deep bass. The hymn wns that entitled
"Nearer , My God , UVTheo. " You have
hoard It by ti full choir , accompanied by
the strains of a grand organ , but you
never listened so Intently as would thoro.
There was a plaint in that girl's volco
which touched n chord , and there was a
quiver in the old mini's bass which sad
dened you. They sang low and soft ,
and thuy had not finished it verso when
half of us were standing up to son them
bettor. The girl kept her eyes on the
floor at her feet. The sightless eyes of
the old man her father were raised to
the coiling , and oven his wrinkled face
crept a glad smile as they finished the
chorus ;
"Noaror , my God , to thee
Koaror to thoe. "
The hymn wns not finished when
every mini began feeling for a contribu
tion and women opened their portcmon-
nnios. It was different now. They were
no longer frauds , and every one wns glnd
to give something. Two or three were
ready to move nbout to take up n col
lection , but they waited for the end of
the hymn. When ifcamo to the chorus
of the last verso the old man wns
singing bravely. Halfway through his
volco suddenly choked and the
last twir lines were sung by the
girl nlono and died away in a sob and a
cry. All of us saw the old man's head
drop forwiyro nnd his body lurch. lie
would hn vb fallen to the floor had not
the girl sei/.ed and hold him up. A
dozen of us were there In a moment , but
wo were too lato. The ofd man's life had
gone out as you breathe upon the llamo
Df n candle , nnd on his ashen lips still
trembled the snored notes of the refrain :
"Nearer to Thee ! "
Red Tape ill Legal 1'rnclco
Philadelphia Times : Said one of the
oldest and most successful legal practi
tioners of the cltv bnr to ono of his ris
ing young students a short time
ngo ; "My dear young follow , never fai
to remember that in the successful
career of n lawyer there is no one item
so important to his reputation as 'red
tape. ' You may smile at this remark ,
but it is as true as holy writ , and the
proper use of it in binding up a legal
document has saved imtny n court paper
from being handed back for perfection
or rooision to its legal sponsor. In
earlier life I practised in the
court of ono of the most particular
judges in this commonwealth. I
presented , as I believed , a well prepared
report which I asked for confirmation ,
and to my surprise the judge , unfolding
It and looking it over , found a hundred
and one faults nnd directed mo to prepare -
'but In bettor form '
pare another ono , ,
us ho said. I was utterly nonplussed.
My time was so limited it was utterly
impossible. An inea struck me. That
night in my otlico I put on a showy out-
sidu wrapper , with a handsome endorse
ment of the title , with the most liberal
supply of the widest red tape that I
could'find , in graceful bows. The next
morning I nervously presented it again.
The judge received it smiling , adding ,
'That is the correct way all papers for
tno court should bo drawn up. ' There's
nothing like red tnpo. " '
A Fight with a Shark.
The Now Zealand Herald describes a
desperate light between a man and a
shark which occurred in Manukau har
bor. Mr. Henry Jaoobson , wlio is em
ployed at the North Manukau Heads _ as
beacon-light keeper , was out in his boat ,
about six miles down the harbor , when
it was struck by a squall and swamped ,
nnd the [ occupant left in the water.
Jacobson dived , nnd endeavored to re-
llovo the ballast , but wltliout success.
Ho then grasped an oar , nnd being a
good swimmer , struck out for land ; out
as a strong tide was running ho was
swept down the harbor a distance of
three miles. At that point ho was at
tacked by a largo shark , which grabbed
at his hand. He protected hlmelfhow-
ever , with the oar , which ho tried to
ram down the shark's throat. The fish
then made a circle round him and re
newed the attack. By this time , however -
over , Jackson had his shoath-knifo
drawn , nnd desperately stabbed the
shark , ripping its side open , so that the
water became rod with blood. A fur
ther attack wns made when .lacobson
ngnin stabbed the monster near the tail
and it swam away. At that time a
boat came in sight , and Jacobson , ex
hausted , was hauled into the boat , hav
ing boon in the water two hours and
thirty minutes.
