In writing her memoir of Philip Gil bert Hamerton, Mrs. Hamerton tells many interesting things about Tenny son, who had a fondness for her gifted husband, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. Tennyson, had the reputation of not being altogether gracious, but the Hamertons always found him genial and talkative, and Mrs. Hamerton says that he told her that nothing short of downright rudeness would rid him of the prying public that dogged his foot steps and insure him a- slight degree of privacy. He told the Hamertons of a man who so dogged him that he was afraid to go outsiue his own gates, for even In front of those locked gates the man would stand and pry for . hours together, till finally ithe poet's son had to go out and request him to walk away. Hamerton, of course, . felt pleased- when told Tennyson expressed a desire to meet him. and the two men met at lunch at the house of a mutual friend. Mrs. Hamerton says of that luncheon: "I sat by Mr. Tennyson and endeavored to suppress any outward sign of the interest and admiration so distasteful to him. Nevertheless I was greatly impressed by the dignity of his simple manners and by the Inscrutable expression of his eyes, so keen and yet so calm, so profound, yet so serene. His was a fine and noble face, even in mer riment, and he was merry on that day, for the string of ancedotes he told kept us all laughing, himself included." Ten nyson's hands did not seem to belong to him. They were large and of plebe ian shape, and seemed fitted for man ual labor. His dress at the luncheon spoken of was peculiar; a shirt of coarse linen, unstarched, with rolling, turn-down collar, very like a farmer's. But the rough, soft linen formed a good setting for . the picturesque head rising above it. Will Endorse the Chicago Platform. Some of the silver people are prepar ing the way to reaffirm the Chicago, platform when the state convention meets. One gentleman has put -out 600 letters to " silver leaders, asking what they thought should be done. Nearly every reply was to the effect that the state convention should stand by the Chicago platform. The author of the letters told me. that the silver people were prepared to have the county and, city conventions endorse the Chicago platform, and that the issue would be pressed. Richmond Letter in Index Appeal. ," . Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., -was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, . but' two bottles Dr King's '-.New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful icoid, approaching Consumption, tried 'without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured.

Raleigh Tribune: President Alder- ' man passed through the city yesterday on his way to Charleston, S. C, where he delivers an address before the i South Carolina Medical college. Jack Ramsey's mouth was filled with pie for the sake of the influence of The Pro gressive Farmer.

(Special to The Messenger.) New York ftoek Market. New York, April 2.. Stocks in the main were firmer today at-intervals.! The market was inclined to heaviness on sales by the chronic bears; but at the end of the ssslon the usually active issues showed gains of to 1 Pr cent, on the day. Delaware and Hud son, Jersey Central and Leather, pre ferred, were exceptions and closed with losses ranging from to per cent. The Improvement in the market was due more to a desire on the part of recent sellers to accept profits than to any material change in the situation. Reports of the arrival of prominent American bankers and railway men in London, including J. P. Morgan and President Hill of the Great Northern appeared to disconcert the bear leaders, especially as there were rumors of im portant deals 'pending. It was said that Morgan, would take up the New York Central refunding scheme at once, and that the meeting of the repre sentatives of the Northrri Pacific, Great Northern Deutsch bank interests were for the purpose of' bringing about a close working arrangement between the roads traversing the Pacific north west. The Anthracite Coalers were benefitted by official statements that the Jersey 'Central will not pass its dividends. A meeting of the directors is looked for early next week, when the matter will be ' decided. Western Union was also influenced by dividend rumors. ' The stock early. In the day broke to 80, but later recovered the greater part of the loss. Director Sage Was quoted as saying that unless busi ness improves considerably ! he will cer tainly favor a reduction in the dividend rate to a 4 per , cent, basis. The Grangers, Northern Pacific, preferred, the Vanderbilt3 and American Spirits, preferred, showed the- greatest recuper ative "ability. Northern Pacific, pre red, rose 2 to 37 and American Spirits preferred, 3 to 33. Near the close, Delaware and Hudson, Jersey Central, and Sugar were prssed for sale, and receded 1 to 1 pr cent. While' this had an unsettling influence, the market left off firm. Total, sales were 189,595 shares, including 19,200 Western Union, 18,800 Jersey Central, 18,400 Burlington and Quincy and 14,700 Sugar. The tone of the bond market was higher. The sales footed up $1,142,000. . ' The Chicago Markets. Chicago, April 2. Whilst business was rio at all brisk, there was, never theless, a firm tone to the wheat mark et today and a moderate net gain was quotable at the close. The firmness was an incident of the opening and was at tributable to a steady Liverpool market Shorts covered quite freely at the close, that fact helping along the advance to some extent. Cash wheat was firm a.nd c higher. : . The action in corn early was quite notable. The feeling was strong and there was good buying, both by shorts and for investment. The . undertone was considered promising and the im mediate situation encouraging. . Cash corn .was c higher , early, closing easier. The oats market was responsive to the early improvement noted elsewhere -It was firm enough to induce shorts to cover some and, as offerings were but moderate, prices were at times frac tionally higher. Later, there was a. re cession, and the close was a shade lower than yesterday for May. Cash oats .were steady to firm. . Trading In provisions was not ahl 1 mated enough to aitract a crowd and outside of local professional and pack ing interests, the attendance in the pit was light. Firmer hogs caused steady to firm product values. Later, on mod erate offerings, prices fell away. May pork closed 10c lower. May lard un- ' changed and May ribs 6c lower. Cotton Pa tares. ' (Special to The Messenger.) New York, April 2. The temperature of the cotton market changed again to day and prices were a little higher. The last hour of trading was marked by more animation than has been visi ble for some time. This morning Liver pool cabled a decline of 164d in . that market, but the dispatch was without effect on prices here and our market opened two points above the close of yesterday. After the opening the south was again a seller of the next crop months and for a time the mark et was heavy. The weakness was short lived, however, and good buying by New Orleans and covering by local shorts sent prices upward. The close was steady at the top. May opened at .6.99, declined to 6.97, advanced to -7.02 and closed at 7.01 to 7.02. The move ment for the .week was liberal, but at tracted no attention. The situation in the flooded districts is not improved. We expect higher prices. . RIORDAN & CO. (By Southern Press.) New York, April 2. The Sun's cotton review says: Spot cotton here was un changed with sales of 277 bales for spinning; middling uplands was 7 5-16c, against 7c last year; New Orleans and gulg 7 9-16c,' against 8c last year. Prices advanced today in spite of low er. Liverpool cables. The. improvement, . however, was. trifling, owing to the dullness of the speculation. The prin cipal factor in the rise was' the flood In the Mississippi Valley. New Orleans bought here on a small scale, the re ceipts at the ports and the interior towns were light, the exports from the ports continue liberal and the spot markets were firm and fairly active. and but for the stagnation of the specu lation the rise today would doubtless have been greater. The fluctuations in prices were confined within a narrow range and the closing quotations were practically, unchanged from the open Ing figures.

DUN & CO8 REPORT. The Market Still Waitlor The Market for : ProdactsVariable Textile MannfactnrM Gaining in Business Iron and Steel Bm lneaa Effected by the Trana-Mlaaomrl Dc "- clsion. ' . ' -' j V" New York, April 2. R. G. Dun & Co., will say. tomorrow in their weekly re view of trade: ' 1; The markets are still waiting,' some sagging downward and others recover ing. There is much disposition to use "the . decision of -the supreme t court against railroad combinations as an In strument for depressing stocks, .and yet the buying has prevented a decline exceeding $1 per share and fori trust stocks 20 cents per share. The reports of railroad earnings for the quarter have been somewhat encouraging, the aggregate having been on roads within the United States, only 3.2 peri cent, smaller than last year, and the March returns have been rather more favora ble than those for January or Febru ary. . The vote of the house in favor of a "new tariff bill has made no impres sion in business, since it has been ex pected since November that some -measure of the same general character would become a law. If the bill stands, with its provision making new duties applicable April 1st, the chances are that foreign imports and treasury re ceipts may be for a time considerably restricted. - . - The market for products has been variable and uncertain. Wheat closes a cent lower than last week, and .the May option has declined 2 cents. The movement of corn continues sol large as to materially affect the demand for wheat. Current trade estimates re garding the wheat crop are a little more favorable, and .are somewhat more likely to prove reliable, as the advance of the season makes the con dition of growing wheat better known. .Cotton has not changed in price, al though the floods in the southwest have done much harm. 1 . The cotton and other textile manu factures are slowly gaining in business., though print cloths and most jstaple cottons remain unchanged in prices, and restrictions of output seem ' to have given, some relief to the market. The buying of wool by mills is still a noteworthy feature", being far in ex cess of-current consumption, but there is a much greater volume of transac tions between dealers and at three chief markets the sales for five iweeks have been 63,725,200 pounds, against 25,377,676 in the same weeks of 1892, when the mills were well employed. Prices are very strong both here and at London. ' The iron and steel industry has been staggered, so to speak, by the decision of the supreme court, affecting rail roads, since it is apprehended that pur chases not only of rails, but of cars, locomotives and bridge materials may be affected. The demand for rails is still considerable and one order, is pend ing for 10,000 tons for Japan, but the reduction in Mesabf ore, with the want of agreement as yet among producers of hard ores, tends to encourage the belief in lower prices for finished pro ducts and so to hinder buying, r The great struggle between the ore producing companies of Mesabi has noti yet so far developed that anybody can feel confident as to the future cost of iron. Meantime, with pig accummu 1 at ing, although some furnaces have stopped production, the price of Besse mer at Pittsburg is a share lower at $10.25, and grey forge at $9, but there are no quotable changes in prices : of finished products, although the tone is rather weak. The new combination in cut nails only affects selling prices in eastern markets. j Turkey Wants to Take Cretan Matters in Her Own Hands. Constantinople, April 2. The reports of ngnnng in trete which are being received here daily are having a- very baki impression upon the government and the "people "alike, and in conse quence the porte has informed the rep resentatives of the Turkish govern ment abroad that the present position is no longer tenable. This information is accompanied by the declaration on theTart of the porte that unless a set tlement of the Cretan difficulty i shall be speedily reached, the porte will pro pose to the powers that Turkey take matters into her own hands. It is also feared here that a blockade of Greece by the warships of the powers will hasten' a conflict hetween the Turks and the Greeks on the frontier of Thes saly.

Here .we have an ' object lesson which ought to be costly enough to: be impressive. The Americans are dull people indeed, if this be not the last political tariff bill. Congress l.i not fit-red to such work.. It belongs to a continuous, non-partisan commission always watching- the workings of the law, always ready to listen to sugges tion, or device, making gradual modi fication's in individual schedules, as trade develops or revenue needs de mand, but never blowing up the whole .Structure with dynamite, as we now do every four years or less.

"Mr, Rockefeller's ledger shows that from September 26, 1855, until January 1, 1856, he made $50, and out of that ha paid all his living expenses and saved money.
