T!iE STIXG OF TEE ADDER.
A Question na lo Whether the Bites Aro
Necessarily Fntnl.
The question as to whether adder bites are
or are not necessarily fatal is one over
which doctors and scientific people have
long differed. "While on one hand it is dog
matically averred that the bite of these
reptiles is in all cases attended with fatal
consequences, instances are given on the
other of complete and in some cases speedy
recovery from the poisoning.
In the current number of JIardioicke's
Science Vossip Beatrix F. Cresswell fur
nishes a case against the fatal character of
the adder's bite at least as regards a dog.
Last summer in Devonshire a Pomeranian
dog was bitten in this manner, bntihe ani
mal soon recovered on being treated. Miss
Ciesswell also gives an instance of a
member of her family having been
stung years ago and recovering, and
she mentions a curious fact with regard to
dogs which have recovered from snake
bites. These dogs, she says, perpetuallr
bunt their enemies, killing them cleverly
by an attack (rom behind, and whenever a
dog is known to be "dead on adders," it
may be assumed that he at some period has
been a victim of their venomous sting,
IIE BETEAYED HIS TBDST.
Severe Sentence Imposed on a Prominent
Cincinnati merchant.
Cincinnati, March 22. Judge Bates,
of the Common Pleas Court, to-day sentenced
to the penitentiary for two and one-half
years, 'William H. Meyers, a well-known
citizen and merchant. He had been con
victed of embezzling funds amounting to
114,000 held bv him as guardian orminor
children. The defense was a lack of eviljl
intent. That h nnnnrxi ,'nv..l.i1.;l
business and disaster followed. -jk
The Court in sentencing the prisoner
said: Here was a man who was not a criminal
in the ordinary sense. The penitentiary is
no place for him, he would be better out
taking care of his family. But the security
L trU5t funs must be protected by an em
phatic condemnation oi such gross and out
rageous misuse as appears in this case. Mr.
Meyer has always held a position of respect
in the community.

TIIE VITALITY. OP WEEDS.
English People Alnrmril Lest American Cat
tle Tiring Other New Fcsl.
A writer draws attention in the Hark
Lane Express to the dauger likely to arise
from the sale as manure of the waste food of
the cattle that are imported in tens of thou
sands from Canada and America. This waste
food consists of Canadian and American
hay, and may contain the seeds of undesira
ble weeds or the eggs of destructive insects.
That the danger thus hinted at is not a
merelv imaginary one many facts may be
cited to prove. About half a century ago a
Cambridge don planted in the gardens of
the Cambridge Botanical Society a female
specimen ot the now famous Canadian river
weed. No seed was possible, but
by its roots and suckers the small
specimen has spread out until it has
choked up the rivers and canals of the Pen
country, costing some thousands of pounds
to clear the waterways of this encroaching
plant Nor is it limited to the Fens, for
borne on canal boats it has been carried to
other parts of the kingdom, and may now
be met with in most of the rivers from Corn
wall to Caithness.
The introduction ot the ageratum into
Ceylon is another instance. This apparently
harmless annual was sown by a lady in her
garden at Colombo, but it has so established
and diffused itself in Ceylon that it costs the
Cingalese planters a qnarter of a million
yearly to keep the pest irom choking all
vegetation in their plantations. The English
water cress is not a serious weed at home,
but its unlucky introduction to New Zeal
and, where it throws up strong, hollow
stems 12 feet long, choking the waterways,
is a source of great expense and trouble.
Thirty years ago a small exotic veronica
was discovered in a garden at Beigate, and
was fostered as a novelty. Now it is the
commonest wed in all the fields of the
South oi England.
TK1BUTE TO SPKINGEE
Tendered by Jndco Novel la His Decision In
the P., C. !k -I. L. Tax Salt.
Cincinnati, March 22. Judge Noyes,
of the Superior Court, to-day decided a case
brought by Morganthaler, tax collector, to
recover taxes on Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
St. Louis stock listed for the years 18S1 to
188C, with penalty lor failing to list. There
are a number of these cases, growing
out of the fact that by the ruling of the
Auditor of Slate such stock was con
sidered not subject to taxation. After
ward the Supreme Court decided that
it was taxable. The test case was
against M. E. Ingalls, but Keuhen
Springer's estate is also involved. The
Court refused the prayer of the plaintiff,
and, referring to the dead Mr. Springer,
said his returns were not false either moral
ly or legally, either on account of evil intent
or technically.
"If a judicial decision," said the judge,
"can vindicate the memory of one who
never did a dishonest act of a generous,
kind-hearted, Christian gentleman, who
spent his life and lavished his wealth by the
million for the welfare of his fellow-men, I
gladly lay that tribute upon his honored
grave."
Taxes were allowed for the year 18S6 only,
without penalty.
THE PRETTIEST ENGLISH WORD.
An Armenian Gentleman Fondness for the
American Jiminy and the Result.
New York Evening Sun.l
An Armenian gentleman, now- happily
proficient in the use of English, was recount
ing last evening his struggles in the earlier
and lesser stages of his perfection.
"There was one word," he said, "that I
was a long time in understanding the use of.
That was your slang word 'Jimmy.' I
heard it constantly everywhere, and sup
posed it was in legitimate use. Besides, T
thought it the most musical and pleasing
combination of syllables I had yet heard in
the English, and I used it as often as I could
from pure love of the sound.
"One night, .it a dinner party in" "Wash
ington, when I was offered some dish which
I did not want I said, .'Jiminy, no. 1 do not
eat it.'
"Somebody laughed and choked, and I
suspected that I was the cause of it. So I
inquired and found out when and where to
use 'Jiminy.' But I was sorry to give it up.
for I still think it the prettiest word you
have in your language."

"Wheeling, March 22. A blind colored
man, giving the name of George Brodenex,
and claiming to hail from Pittsburg, put in

wife, who had run away from him, taking
with her two children, aged 4 and 2 years,
and that he had followed them this far and
could go no farther. Chief of Police Del

Monongahela Cixr, March 22. An

are somewhat alarmed at the success of the
novel affair' They are greatly in favor,
however, of the proposition to introduce the
incandescent system otlighting in the mines,
as is proposed by some owners.
It is claimed this system will entirely do
away with the ever-present danger of explos

THE
MOEE SMALL HOUSES.
A Local Syndicate Almost Ready to
Begin Their Construction!
Vsr
A PILE OF MONEY IN- THE POOL.
Fairmonnt Avenue to be Ornamented With
Fourteen Fine Dwellings.
GOOD ADYICE TO T0DNG BUSINESS MEN
It was stated in The Dispatch a short
time ago that a syndicate of local capitalists
had been formed for the purpose of building
a large number of small houses. Additional
information was obtained yesterday. The
scheme is making satisfactory progress.
The syndicate is headed by the President of
one of the street railway companies, and the
other members are all prominent in business.
The capital is $100,000, divided into 1,000
shares of $100 each. Of this amount $80,000
has already been as good as placed.
Land will be bought and houses erected
along the lines of the principal street car
lines and other accessible places. Preference
will be given to no district over another. In
building some new features will be intro
duced. The housed will be rented at from
15 to $20 a month. It is tbe purpouse of the
syndicate to commence active operations early
in the summer.
The property owaed by Mr. Matt Wiess and
John Ober, situated on Fairmount avenue,
within ono square of Penn, consisting ot a
fraction over four acres, is to he handsomely
improved this season by the erection thereon
of 11 fine brick dwellings, plans for which are
being prepared by Messrs. Straub & Morris.
They will contain from eight to ten rooms
each, combine all modern improvements, and
cost from S5.500 to J7,000. These houses being
of a high class, will add materially to the ap
pearance of that part of the city. Work on
them will begin as soon as the weather will
permit.
Young men just starting out in business for
themselves should bear in mind that persever
ance is the only certain road to success. Said
one of the oldest bank officers in the city yes
terday: "When I see men changing from one
thing to another I at once conclude that tbey
will never set the world on Are. They may suc
ceed, but the chances are largely against them.
There is no sentiment in business. It cannot
be coaxed or bribed. It is governed by im
mutable law. Hard, persevering work counts
for everything. Let me relate a little of my own
experience. When I started this bank I met
with many discouragements. For days together
I didn't receive a dollar on deposit Discount
ing was equally slow. The first loan I made
was of 75. 1 persevered, however, and finally
succeeded in establishing about as large a bank
ing business as there is in the city. If I had
given up the struggle I would probably be
working on a salary to-day. I felt that it was
my opportunity to make a record for myself as
a financier, and I hung to it with the energy of
despair.
"Andrew Carnegie is not wanting in perse
verance, but he narrowly escaped disaster at
the outset of his careei. He engaged in the
iron business at the solicitation of the late J.
Edgar Thomson. One day Mr. Carnegie went
to Mr. Thomson and told him that he had con
cluded he was not altogether adapted to the
business and expressed a dssire to draw out.
He had met with some discouragement which
had shaken bis continence in himself. Mr.
Thomson talked to him in a friendly way and
induced him to change his mind. So far as
known, this was tbe only time that Mr. Carne
gie ever displayed weakness. It was the turn
ing point in his life. His energy and persever
ance have made him not only many times a
millionaire, but enabled him to become one of
the woild's greatest benefactors.
"My advice to young men is never to yield to
discouragement. It is hard to do this at all
times, but any other course is evidence of weak
ness, and weakness sooner or later leads to
failure. Davy Crockett's famous motto, 'Be
sure you're right, then go ahead,' expresses a
truth which lies very close to the bottom of
business success."
There are real estate owners in Pittsburg
who are always buying and never selling. A
case in point transpired the latter part of last
week. An offer of about $3,000 a foot front, or
70,000, was made for a business property on
one of the principal downtown streets. The
owner responded by saying he would not take
(100,000 for it it was not in the market. He
owns a large amount ot property, much of
which was purchased several years ago at very
low figures. He thinks it a good investment,
and proposes to hold on to it. There is no ob
jection to this it is legitimate and business
like. But other owners who are disposed to
sell should not hold up such property as a crite
rion of value.
Property not in the market is no factor in tbe
making of prices; but it is often made a pretext
for nursing a boom. Owners should maikthe
difference and be reasonable
THE TREND OF STOCKS.
Pleasant Valley Active and Stronger Gas
sera nnd Tractions Dull and Lower.
A fair business was transacted at the Stock
Exchange yesterday tor a short session and a
rainy day. Orders were said to be increasing,
indicating a permanent revival. Total sales
were 290 shares, and for the week 2.050, against
976 the previous week.
Tho market opened steady with liberal bid
ding for nearly all the specialties. Pleasant
Valley was again the feature, and for which
the demand, as had been the case for several
days, was greater than the supply. The first
sale of it was at 2, the next at 27 and tbe
last at Z7J. showing a steady appreciation dur
ing the session. It closed at 27j bid and 27J
asked. It is believed that all tbe recent selling
bas been on the long side.
Philadelphia Gas and the tractions were the
weak spots in the market, all of them submit
ting to concessions. There seems to be an
utter want of confidence in these stocks, though
for what reason is not clearly understood. So
far as known there has beeu no recent change
in condition to warrant such a feeling. They
seem to be in the bands of a coterie of chronic
bears who are determined to keep them in the
rnt with or without reason.
Bank shares showed some appreciation, but
there were no transastions. There was a very
light demand for insurance for Saturday. Rail
road stocks were hrui, with Electric Switch
and Signal and tbe miners dull and featureless.

OIL CLOSES L0WEK.
Licht Trading and a Very Narrow Rnnffe of
Prices.
The oil market yesterday developed about
the same characteristics as on Friday. It did
not reach quite so low a level, hut was a frac
tion off at the close.
Tbe opening was steady at the best point of
the day. Tho market then sagged for want of
support, and moved along within very narrow
limits until the last few minutes when it firmed
up a little and closed a small fraction better
tban the lowest figure. The range was: Open
ing and highest, SflJc; lowest, 86Jc; closed,
86c
lrading was light and confined to the profes
sionals. Refined was unchanged. Taking the
week through the market was decidedly
bearish. Business however, was brisker than
for a long time, the clearances being 4,120,000
barrels the largest of any previous week this
year.

Oil Notes.
Work in the various fields will be vigorously
pushed as soon as tho roads settle.
There was a noticeable absencoof field news
on 'Cbanzc yesterday. Not a single new gusher
was reported.
It is quite generally believed that the next
pipe line report will show an increase of pro
duction over consumption.
Peodtjcers are paying very little attention
to speculation. They are devoting themselves
to business and are making money.
There was considerable talk yesterday abont
an independent pipe line to the seashore in op
position to the Standard, and tho drift of opin
ion was in favor of it.

A Six months' Record for Dullness Broken
Sugar tbe Only Fontnrc, But Some
Fairly Blronn Spots Tho
Money Bugaboo.
New" York, March 22. The dullness In the
stock market, which has been such a f eatnre
for the past week, was still more pronounced
to-day and the transactions were the smallest
for tbe morning hours for more than six
months.
Tho strong tone of yesterday remained, how
ever, as the impression tbatthe bank statement
was to be a good one was most universal and
the selling was very cautious, while covering of
shorts was indulged in to marked extent, con
sidering the limitations of tbe market. The
general list remained within the narrowest
limits, and tbe stocks among the usually active
list which fluctuated over a ranga of more tban
per cent could be counted upon the fingers of
one hand.
Sugar was again a feature for one half tho
session, but the traders sold it on the theory
that the dividend news having coma out tbe
stock would be a sale. Tennessee Coal was tbe
strong feature, rising to 57, against 54, but it
reacted late in the last hour to 56. Hocking
Coal andiron sympathized with it and scored a
net rise of 1 per cent, closing at 21.
In the railroad list the Flint and Pere Mar
quette stocks were specially strong and the
common at 34 is up 1 and the preferred
atlOOisup 2 per cent. Among the other
specialties which showed considerable strength,
the Wheeling and Lake Eric shares and Louis
ville, New Albany and Chicago wero promi
nent. The other movements nero entirely
without significance. The market closed dull
and strong at tho best prices.
Railroad bonds showed the same dullness and
steadiness which has marked the declines
throughout the week, and on a very limited
business only slight changes were recorded.
The Poitsays: Almost the only active stock
that is not lower tban last week is Union Pa
cific, though there are larger declines on a few
of the specialties, such as Oregon Short Line
and Louisville, New Albany and Chicago,
which are respectively two and e'ght points
lower. Everything soemed to indicato during
the week that the apprehensions of tigbtmoncy
were the chief obstacle to a further advance in
prices of stocks. And yet, when tbe Dank
statement was announced, it did not have the
immediate expected etfect on tbe stock mar
ket, for in the 20 minutes before tho close of
business prices fell off H to for tbe majority
of the active stocks.
Tbe fact that the early prices in London were
lower tban the closing prices here last night
may have had some effect to induce selling here
for tbe time being. But all things considered,
the entire situation, both as regards tbe pros
pects of the railroads for good earnings, and
also as regards tbe money market, have im
proved so much that it ran scarcely fail to bavo
a tenaency to make higher average prices for
stocks next week.
The rotiowinc table shows the prices ot active
stocks on the New York Stock Excnange yester
day. Corrected dallv for THs Dispatch by

Dnll nnd Stubborn Market, With Balls Con
fident of Higher Prices.
Special to John M. Oakley ft Co.
.New roBK, March 22. The stock market
to-day was duller than ever.il It can be intensi
fied. We believe that there was not a sale of
Lake Shore, and only a scattering sale hero and
there of standard stocks. Manipulators took
advantage of the few entries in the speculative
race, and trotted out somo dark horses. Hock
ing Coal and Iron, Evansville and Terre Haute
and Flint and Pere Marquette common and
preferred were favored.
Next to these came Sugar Trust and Ten
nessee Coal andiron. Lead Trust was slow,
possibly on account of Senator Sherman's trust
bill, and Sugar heitated to go npwith a 2 per
cent quarterly dividend pending, because tbe
public dittrnst the whole outfit on account of
the trust legislation and litigation, and further
because of the proposed reduction ot duties on
sugar.
The market was very stubborn and strong,
but no one seems to be willing to venture in or
to try to get out. Bulls are confident of higher
prices next week and are gratified at tbe bank
statement, which showed a gain in reserves of
about $2,600,600. There was a fractional reac
tion alter its appearance, and the market
closed with firmness and dullness as its only
characteristics.
The Reading Company will squeeze out and
pay to its first income holders ot 1 per cent
on its coupons due last November. "Tbe
mountain brought forthja mouse." The Coal
stocks still hold up their speculative beads as
proudly as if their "black diamonds" were real
gems.
Trade reports are not as satisfactory as they
were a month or two ago. Country merchants
arc asking for extensions; collections are only
fair. At Chicago money is in active demand
from grain and provision merchants, and man
ufacturers' requests for renewals are also large.
Very few banks aro taking new paper Irom out
side applicants. Merchants complain that col
lections fall to show any improvement since
March 1. Payments from the Northwest are
especially slow.

No Snap In the Wheat Pit The Early Ad-
Tanco Lost Stocks Abrond Sloro
Life In IIou Products.
Chicago Wheat The volume of trading
was not aslargeto-dayasduringthe preceding
days of the week, and there was less snaptotbe
market, but witbalthe marketheld its own well
during the most of the session. Trading was
largely of the professional order, and there was
considerable covering by shorts and some sell
ing by longs at tbe advance. The market opened
Hlic lower, then ruled firm, advancing J
c, again weakened off, selling off to inside
prices, fluctuated and closed about c lower
than yesterday.
The early sharp advance was attributed to the
reported large clearances from New York, but
when operators realized that tbe market had
been bulled two or three times on tho expecta
tion of tbese clearances, the market soon eased
off. Late postal advices from Europe give the
long side of the marketconsiderable encourage
ment. While tbe recent low estimate of stocks
at Odessa are not generally credited, it is ad
mitted that they are less than 8,000,000 bushels.
Dornhnscb. in an article regarding the wants
of tbe United Kingdom, estimates that it will
require 72,000,000 bushels of foreign wheat to
supply their needs to August 3L ana of this
quantity, countries outside of America can
lurnish only 42,000,000 bushel!. Crop reports
from abroad' were 'not particularly favorable,
and the outlook in India is rather discouraging.
Corn was traded in to a moderate extent, and
the undertone was heavy, but the market held
up fairly well, duo almost entirely to tbo
strength in wheat. The market opened at
about tbe closing prices of yesterday, was
steady for a time, then declined Jc, became
inactive and closed He lower than yesterday.
Oats were quiet and without important fea
tures, price changes being small, and closing
sales were about tho samo as on yesterday.
Pork Trading was quite active and prices
ruled irregular. Shorts bought rather freely
early, and prices were advanced 1012c. with
quite a good business. Toward the close prices
rallied and closed steady.
Lard quiot. A good demand from shorts
tended to develop considerable strength early,
and prices were advanced 23c. Offerings
were somewhat larger later, and the feeling
was easier accompanied with a reduction of
25c, and the market closed steady.
bhort rib sides Trading was quits brisk.
Prices were advanced 57ic early in the day.

if you go that amount in the hole you are
expected to look pleasant when you pat on
your overshoes. One night a tenderfoot
dropped in and asked if he could come in,
"Oh, yes if he wanted to." There was then
$5,000 on the table, and after the hand was
played the newcomer put aside his fur-lined
overcoat and silk tile and presented a crisp
$100 hill tor chips. The banker they have
bankers in poker games out West looked
surprised.
The players looked at each other and then
at the stranger.
"Well, what's the matter, gentlemen?"
said tbe Eastener with a bland smile.
"Ain't I in tbe game?"
"There was a silent moment,
"Why, of course," said the dealer, "here,
banker, come up for this gentleman, he
wants a white chip."
You couldn't have kept the traveler in
that place with a lasso. He left town that
night on an east-bound freight train.
THE WORKING DAI.
Some Lines of Interest Apropos of the
Elgin-Hour Movement.
In revising the old couplet as to division
of the day, His Honor Judge Seymour, of
England, has cleverly adapted the version
which we have from a translation of some
old Latin lines, and which in the first in
stance had reference to a lawyer's time,
thus:
Six hours to sleep, to law's grave study six.
Four spend in prayer, the rest on nature fix.
Another version is original, and is by Sir
William Jones, the famous Oriental scholar,
who expresses the same ideas as follows:
Six hours to law, to soothing slumbers seven.
Ten to the world allot, and all to heaven.
Six and seven and ten make only 23, but
surely a point is gained here by the unex
pected substitution of the word "all" for
"one."
man?
Eizht hours for work, eight hours for sleep.
That only leaves us eight
For all tbe things that make men good.
And all that makes them great ;
For thinking ana talking, for love and joy,
For learning and pleasure and play,
There'd be time in all our lives forthoso
If we worked eigbtbours a day.

MW EVIDENCE
Of the Great Work Being Performed
by Drs. Copefand & Blair.
CONTRACTOR FiSHEL'S STORY.
"An oil contractor's life is not all sun
shine by a good deal," said Mr. Fishel.
"He has to be on the ground to oversee the
work, and is thus exposed to all kinds of
weather. This was the cause of my trouble.
I caught cold after cold, until it finally de
veloped into a case of chronic catarrh. My
bead and nose were constantly stopped up.
First one nostril would be clogged and then
the other. My eyes were weak and watery.
There were roaring and buzzing noises in
my ears. I had a dull, heavy pain in my
forehead, directly over my eyes. 1 could
feel the mucus dropping from mj head to
my throat!" "
The speaker was Mr. H. J. Fishel, a
prominent character among oil men, and
widely known throughout all the oil district
of Western Pennsylvania, lie is a con
tractor and rig builder, and long experience
has made him second to none in the busi
ness. His residence is at 217 Coltart square,
one of the most beautiful sections ot Oak
land. Mr. H. J. Fishel, 217 Coltart square.
"Mv throat became raw and was all
choked up. I was constantly hawking and
raising. A dry, hacking cough set in. The
trouble hung on this way for some time, when
I contracted fresh cold, and from that on grew
rapidly worse. Sharp pains would shoot
through my chest, extending as far as tbe
shoulder blades. Palpitation of the heart set'
in. This would be followed by a slow, irregnlar
beating and a feeling of dizziness. My nights
became restless. My throat would fill up and
my breathing was labored and difficult. I
wonid arise in the morning more tired than
when I went to bed. I bad no appetite, and
had a nauseating sensation in my stomach
after eating. There was a heaving feeling in
my chest as of a weight pressing down. My
stomach became so tender and sore that at
times I was unable to bear even the weight of
my clothes. I became weaker every day. I
was reduced in weight from 153 to VS pounds:
in fact, I was more like a dead man than a liv
ing one.
"I tried various remedies, but obtained no
relief. I bad read often of the snecess Drs.
Copeland & Blair were having with cases sim
ilar to mine, so determined to try them. I
found their charges lower even than patent
medicines, and placed myself under their care.
'Words cannot express my gratitude for them.
I am to-day well and hearty. I gained 23
pounds in weight, have a good appetite and
sleep well. To be brief, all tbe symptoms I
hare mentioned have disappeared, and I am
satisfied that Drs. Copeland & Blair have en
tirely cored me tt my trouble.''
Mr. Fishel can be addressed at bis residence,
217 Coltart square, and this interview readily
verified.
HOME TREATMENT.
Jacob Altmeyer, of Risher, opposite MeKees--port.
Pa., states: "I commenced treatment for
my catarrhal trouble with Drs. Copeland k
