TBJSIWILMJGTO ilESSEGERscWEbEsbAV, MARCH 17, W. "- I Everybody Needs a Spring tonic. The peculiar conditions at this season pro duce a depressed, care-worn, languid feeling, .which .per vades the entire body; When nature, unassisted, attempts i to get rid of the accumulated impurities, the energies give way, the appetite fails, a wbrn out, fun-down condition is the result. All of which can be avoided by a few bottles, of s which promptly purifies the the blood and thoroughly renovates, the entire system, tones and "strengthens' the; ' stomach; and renews the ap petite. It is the; only safe: tonic, being purely vegetable, , and the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no ar scnic, sulphur, mercury; pot ash or other mineral sub ; stance, vjhice is of so much f importance to all who know the injurious effects of these drugs. Nature, should be as- isistea. Dy na Iture's remedy, IS. S. S. Insisfe, Ion S. S. S.. There is Nothing: Half as Good!

The sensation of the, day in stock circles was a break in Missouri Pacific from 19 to IB," on un usually heavy trading. The old report of a receivership was freely circulated, but this time the rumor met with a most emphatic denial on the part of President Gould and Director Sage. Mr. Gould in a statement made public shortly after the slump in the stock denied absolutely that 8 receiver would be appointed and also expressed his willingness to cash April coupons of the company at their face value, less the usual rebate at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum. He further stated that the earnintrs of the road were im proving, net for January showing an increase of $148,000 as compared with the corresponding month of 189B. In his opin ion the attack on the stock and the re ports of a receivership were the result of a desire on the nart of the bears to cover the short sales in other stocks. The denial alarmed the shorts, a rush to cover followed and the stock bounded up to 1854. elosinar at that fierure. Wabash stock and bonds declined in svmpathv. but the ereneral market' held remarkably ""ell throuehout the raid. In fact as the day advanced railway and industrial stocks erathered strength, and near the close -the best fitmres for a loner time nast were recorded In many instances. The Vanderbilts. especiallv New York Central, pje- Four. Canada Southern, Northwestern and the Nickel Plate dis played trreat firmness from start to finish. New York Central pot no to 100. Canada Southern to - 5056. Northwestern to 110. tstiv-o1 Plate seCpr,fl preferred, to 34 and Blsr Four to 33i.

Middling up lands was 7"4c"' against 7c last year; New Orleans and gulf 7c, against 8c last year. The speculation today was quiet. What little doing there was of a local, featureless character and the fluc tuations in prices were practically un changed from last night's final - quota tions. For a time prices advanced. Liv erpool was higher both for futures and spots and the weather bureau reported the Mississippi river still rising and above danger, line at New Orleans, Memphis, Vicksburg, and Cairo. The semi-weekly receipts at the interior towns were con siderably smaller than last week and the spot markets in this country were firm and more active. The buying power soon exhausted, however, and in the ab sence of support, prices reacted on local selling. The semi-weekly receipts at thirteen principal interior towns were 13,- fc5 Dales, against 23.212 last Week and 13, 650 last year; shipments 21,456 bales. against 37,309 last week and 25,402 last year.

Sequel to a Night of UghtnlnK The Office . in Char)ott Completely Desiroyed De trnettoA of Architect Hllbnrn's Hand some New Offices. . ' (Charlotte Observer.) The Charlotte office -of the Western Union Telegraph Company was complete ly, gutted by fire Sunday morning. 'The Western Union office Is a two-tory brick building. Above it on the north side tower the walls of the Central hotel, and on the south the walls -of Mr., H. G. Spring's hew building, the Central hotel annex. Over the roof of the building runs the covered way connecting the Cen tral and annex. The entire ground floor of the bulldlnar was occupied by the West ern Union. The second floor was used as offices bv Architect Milburn. In this lit tle building, betweei two blr, tall ones, a fierce fire raged for perhaps an hour. It was kindled by electricity, not of the machine made kind, but of the kind that Franklin discovered with his key. Saturday night was one of the occasions when telegraph operators plaster their hair down with Taste, for -during the night a severe electrical storm was- In progress. At intervals the rain coming down upon the roof, would sound as if it were being poured from a tub: windows would echo the rattle of the thunder, and the flashes of lightning would periodi cally blot out the lesser lights of gas and Four Ca electricity. The very air seemed to be electrified. "The Western Union men closed up shop promptly at 12 o'clock Saturday night, and Manager Burts and his- operators went home. At 1:25 a. m., the telegraph instrument in The Observer office was stricken with dumbness, and after re peated tests. Operator James located the trouble in the Western Union's city office. It was not until 2:25 that a key to the Western Union office could be secured, and then the operator found that the plug to The Observer's special wire was out of the switchboard. Mr. James put the plug back in the switchboard, and returning to The Observer office, resumed taking the press disoatches. At the time of his -visit to the Western Union, every thing was all right there no fire, or sign of fire. . At 6 o'clock Sunday morning a boot black saw smoke issuing from the West ern Union buildinsr and an alarm was turned in. Chief Culpepper saw at first glance that he had a stubborn fire to sub due, and he called out the entire depart ment, including the steamer. Half a dozen big streams of ' water were soon ripping and tearing away things inside the house, but the fire .soon got through the roof and leaped high in the air be tween the two big bul'dlngs. In the front part of the building the first and second floors were putted: in the rear part, they were burned out from floor to roof. The buildine is the property of Colonel t Robert M. Oates and Mrs. Mary Wriston, ' owners of the Central hotel. They had no s Insurance. The buildinjr can probably be rerilncerl fnr SI. 000. the walls belner Intact. The Western Union's loss 4s $3,000. The Charlotte office is the largest in the state, and one of the most important in the south, as all the southern wires are con nected here. The office was equipped with eighteen sets of instruments. 1.000 cells of batteries and a switchboard for seventy-five wires.

Less than three weeks apo he completed the equip ment of his ofTice rooms on the second floor. The feature of the rooms, how ever, was Mr. Milburn's display of archl eniirol dnLwInn embracing his work in that line for eighteen years past, ah oi i these were tofally destroyed, not so much as an unsoiled scrap being saved. Mr. Milburn estimated his loss, from a pecuniary standpoint alone.- at $10,000.

Mexican home life is unique; it dif fers very essentially from the domestic life of the' Anglo-Saxon race, for it is founded on respect for parents. The Influence of the Catholic church, is powerful in maintaining a high grade of family behavior. ' , There is a sweetness and a charm about a well-ordered Mexican home which is a revelation to northern peo ple, who have! imbibed a false idea or matters herei The women of the best Mexican families are naturally of a gentle disposition, but they command obedience and rarely spoil their sons, whom they idolize. There are excep tions, but they, are not enough to break down the general society discipline As for the girls no reputable Mexican father or mother would allow for a moment the thought of permitting a girl of any age to be on the streets after dark unless accompanied by an older person, a trusted servant or elder brother. So. even among girls of the humbler class, there is no street stroll ing in the evening. They may, in' warm weather, go to the alameda, or public park, where there is a band con cert, but always under escort." They may go to a tertulia, or evening party, but with some competent person. ;They may dance, mildly flirt, on such occa sions, but they are always under the watchful eve of "a relative. There is plenty of proper freedom for young girls and a larger liberty in the cities than formerly, but they -are not anow ed to run about without an escort and a very careful eye is kept upon i them by parents and relatives, even to dis tant male cousins. Such a thing as a young girl or young woman of any character or family be ing upon the street at night alone and unattended is unknown. Your daugh ter goes to visit a friend in the . after noon and stays to tea, then the gentle map and lady of the house, the gen tleman alone or.old servant brings her home. So the. streets of this big town are never the scene of foolish flighty iris being followed and "picked up" by strangers. And as for men who in sult young girls and women, the rem edy is usually a sudden and fatal one. In milder cases the newspapers give minute descriptions of the "satyr," who has insulted a lady and the public is asked to take warning. One fellow who, in an interior city, made an in sulting remark about a lady standing at a window, iwas conducted to the alameda and, in view of the chief part of the town's best society, was held down on a stone bench and caned until he yelled for mercy and was then or dered out of town on the next train. He went. . In another city a male teacher, who was "too rresn" in nis conauct towara young girl -pupils, -was waited on by a deputation of gentlmen and asked to favor the CUV; by nis permanent ao sence. He, too, went The etiquette regarding the protection of women from insult is such as prevails in the southern states of the American union. There is no fooling ori the streets, in the theaters and public places with respectable women. There is some thing left here of the old Spanish idea of the sacredness of womanhood, and the line is sharply drawn between hon est women ano the other Kina.
