Although a thorough examination of
thr hold ana made, the Irak ould not

getting her to Alaaka aafely rather than
loatng heavily on the cargo by unloading

The arhooner waa to have dulled today,
but lata laat night It waa lilacovered
that the leak In thr veaarl'a hull had
widened and water waa pouring In at
the rate of ten Inchea an hour. Thr
Idea of aendlng the achooner to era

HER WHISTLING LARYNX.
Eva W. Spear, Eight Yeara Old. la Able
to Wander t'p and Down Two and a
Half Octaves.
New Haven. Conn.. April 18. The ex
amination by medical experts of Eva W.
Spear, the eight-year-old daughter of W.
H. Spear, of thla efty. who has attracted
a great deal of attention on account of
a peculiar formation of the throat known
aa a whistling larynx, waa postponed, to
day, aa some of the physldana who de
sire to Investigate the case could not
be present.
Medical men, musical men and several
prominent specialists have asked to be al
lowed to Investigate the case. A well
known mualc teacher states that ahe has
a range In her whistling of two and one
half octaves. The only other case on
tveord hi that of a woman who baa a
range of one and a half octave.
Mr. Spear's daughter can whistle with
her mouth closed, and doea not use her
lips, tongue or cheeks In whistling. She
has had this strange power since sfe
was two years old. and music teachers
believe that she will develop wonderful
ability aa a whistler. The peculiar for
mation of the larynx doea not affect the
child in any way. She haa alwaya been
strong and vigorous.
THE PAST WEEK IN TRADE.
New York Financier Says There la N
Decided Gain.
New York. April 11-The New Tork
Financier says this week: The atatement
of the associated banks of New Kork
city for the week ending April 18 shows
the net receipts of currency during tke
week from the Interior were lighter than
had been estimated. The actual net
increase In caah holdings In the banks
only amounts to IU5.50Q, and as tt.Mu.000
was sent abroad. It Is evident that the
week's receipts from domestic sources
can barely have exceeded tl.W0.0iO. In
general business circles, the week In
dicated a gain, although not aa percepti
bly at Eastern cities as west of the Mis
souri valley. In that section, and also
In Ralllmore and Pittsburg, there has
been extensive retail buying, and thla has
naturally resulted in a better demand at
wholesale. The general tone of the finan
cial week, however. Indicates .hat there
Is no abatement In the almost universal
disposition to deal with unusual con
servatism and not to anticipate future
wants.

FOR AN EARLY CONVENTION.
Business Men Urging Democratic Leaders

Albany, N. Y., April 18,-Chalrman
Hinckley's announcement that the Demo
cratic state convention to choose dele-gatea-at-large
to the Chicago convention
will not be held until June 13 or 24, which
has the Indorsement of Senator David
B. Hill, together with a ausDlclon that
the convention will not adopt a dearly I
defined financial plank, has aroused much
opposition from the business Intereata.
Tho huaineaa men say tha convention
should lie called at once and should de
clare umqulvoeally for the gold standard.
In order to counteract the free, silver sen
timent manifested by other states.
There Is a growing feeling that the
flnarvial Issue must not be evaded In fa
vor of Morrlaon, or any other candidate,
auapectrd of silver leanings, and consid
erable pressure Is being brought to bear
upon Senator Hill to exert his Influence
In favor of an earlier convention.

SOUND MONEY RESOLUTIONS.
, Rand-McNally Bankers' Monthly.
The New York Republican state con
; vention passed the following resolution In
i regard to the money question:
j "The agitation tor the free coinage ot
' silver at the ratio of If to 1 seriously
t disturbs all Industrial Interests and calls
1 for a clear statement of the Republican
, attitude upon thla question, to the end
that the trade of this country, at horns
- and abroad, may again be placed upon a
, sound and stable foundation,
i "We recognise In the movement for tha
tree coinage of sliver an attempt to de
grade the long-established standard or
our monetary system, and hence a blow
to public and private credit at once
: costly to the national government and
harmful to our domestic and foreign com
merce. "Until there Is a prospect of Interna-
tlonal agreement as to silver coinage,
and while gold remains the standard ot
the United States and of the civilised
world, the Republican party of New York
declares Itself In favor of the firm and
honorable maintenance of that standard."
AMATEUR FORTUNE-TELLING.
Home fortune-telling Is one of the
amusements included In the programme,
and those who object to fortune-telling
on principle will tlnd it a useful way to
disenchant the creduloua. The "Sybil,"
dressed In gaudy calico, with an old.
broad-brimmed hat tied down over her
ears, will ask to have her palm crossed
with silver. She will then recite this
doggerel verse:
If foky kek Jens bute
Ma sal at lende.
For sore mush klna dromany
That tute kek Jlns.
Thla is supposed to be the Romany
! Rye tongue, and translated reads to tha
, effect taht "the hearer Is warned to 11s-
ten to every one, for every one may
I know something which ha haa yet to
learn."
Tea-cup fortune may be used to vary
the entertainment and at the same time
furnish light refreshment to the family.
; Those who tell the fortunes can learn
rrom books on fortune-telling, so that
the apparently wonderful feat of telling
you all you know and much that you do
not know becomes a very simple scheme.
WAYS TO BRIGHTEN THEM.
What to do In the long evenings that
are now here la the question just now
agitating the home, and It la a pertinent
one. Life is formal and dull to the more
. respectaote cntid, because he Is debarred
j the pleasures of Bohemia, and the charm
of Bohemia Is Its spirit of amusement
"Laugh and the world laughs with
. you."
Man only blames himself In order that
he may be praised. Rochefoucauld.
