And fhe CocdTicu.- ncaaed Chaun cey Depew'i Eyeglasses os Security., Senator Chauncey Dtpcw a Lttle white ago was so hard up tl:st Lo tried to pledge his eyeglasses for a nickel. In the isidst ot other business lie had remem bered that there was to be an important meeting in another city cf a board cf di rectors of which he vas a member, and there was barely time to catch a train. He ran for a street car, swung on to it, with, coattails flying, and was anxiously strfdying his watch when the conductor tapped him on the arm. The senatoi thrust a thumb and forefinger into one waistcoat pocket and then into another. He plunged his hands into his trousers pocket. A blank. lock came into hi3 face, lie explored fob, pistol, inside, overcoat pockets, then in a dazed way explained to the conductor that he must have rush ed away without his pocketbook. "You'll have to get off the car then," growled the conductor," grasping the bell rope. :. ; ,;, "But I've got to catch my train on an important errand!" exclaimed the sena tor., ' . -". '' "Oh, come off! I've met your kind be fore." And the man of fares jerked the bell rope. - "But, my good man," whispered the former president of the New York Cen tral, "I'm Chauncey Depew." "I wouldn't give a if you were Chauncey Olcott! You can't give me no game of talk." "But here, sir, if you don't think I'll pay you the 5 cents take these as secur ity." And Mr. Depew removed his eye glasses and gold chain from his vest and extended them. - "Do you take this for a traveling pawn shop? Pay or get off.". The senator gazed helplessly around the car, hoping to find some one to whom he could appeal. A tired looking laundress and an errand boy were the only other passengers. The senator left the car and missed the meeting. "If that man had loaned me 5 cents on my glasses," said Mr. Depew in telling the 6tory afterward, "I would have seen that he stepped into something much bet ter than running a street car." New York Letter in New York Post. CHINESE LAUNDRY NAMES. All Sorts of Queer Information About Celestials' Cognomens, Sam Moy, speaking of Chinese names, said: "The majority of the names that you see on the sipms of laundries or tea stores kept by Chinamen are simply fancy names adopted for their auspicious signif icance. For instance. Hop Sing means "deserving of prosperity, Woh Loons means 'success through concord,' Nee Wan means integrity and harmony.' They are simply mottoes, having no ref erence to the proprietor or the members of the firm whatsoever. "Every properly constituted Chinaman has five names besides his surname or cognomen. The last is fixed and handed down from one generation to another. There are more than 300 patronymics known in China, not counting those of naturalized subjects who originated from Tartary. Their derivation is various and instructive, and they embody in their cu rious hieroglyphic shapes many a historic truth and reference to dynastic changes. The family names of the first Chinese embassador to this country,-Chin and Jum, were at one time, about 500 B. C the names of two principalities under the Chow kinss. The descendants of the great Shun, the ideal ruler In the golden age of China, were lords of Chin. The descendants of one of the younger broth ers of Wu, founder of the Chow dynasty, were the petty sovereigns of Jum. It is from this family that the present minister to the United States is descended. "The family of Wu comes from the feu dal system of China, which existed for 2,000 years. It was abolished by the first emperor of the Tsia dynasty. - He it was who built the great wall. "Every male child born in China is first called by his 'milk name.. When he grows old enough to attend school, he takes a .'book name. When he has learn ed the mysteries of composition, he com petes for literary honors under an as sumed name, which is finally adopted. When he successfully passes his exami nations and obtains his degree, his equals address him by another, either coined by them or adopted by him. At his mar riage he adopts still another, called 'style.' "Chicago Chronicle. - Stock Exchange Pranks. ', Notwithstanding the heavy business on the Stock Exchange recently, the mem bers found time to play their usual tricks on a new member, who has proved to be the easiest victim for many years. One of the standard jokes is to ask a new member to buy large blocks of stocks which do not exist. Among these myth ical stocks Western Union Rights has lone been conspicuous. When the old brokers found that the new member had never heard of Western Union Rights. they gave him large orders to buy and pretended to bid the stock up from 3 to 9. This worked so well and the new mem ber became so excited over the sharp ad vance .in this stock that they tried him on Sewer stock, Southwestern Division. At the end of the first day the new mem ber's business footed up a total of 75.000 shares. When he discovered that it was all bogus, he did the usual thing on ucb occasions, and it cost him many bottles. He was so unsuspicious, however, and bo ignorant of the names of the stocks traded in on the exchange that whenever business gets a little dull now a new stock is devised for his benefit and bid up at the rate of several points at a time. He ha. had all the excitement of doing a larg business, and he is out of pocket only his- bar expenses. New York Sun. The Old Door Opener. ,. "Ever since 1860," writes a correspond ent of the Chicago Tribune, "Captain A D. Loeffler has opened the door for every public man and for every applicant foi office who has called on the president at the White House. . All these years he has stood guard at the little door which open? Into the president s room, i.d he is said to know by sight more prominent people of the last 30 years than any other liv ing man. Captain Loeffler served during the civil war in the cavalry branch of the service and has always been on the pay roll of the war department. The other day he was placed on the retired list of the army, but he will still hold his place at the door. He opened the door for Gar field, Hayes and McKinley when eachtf the three was in turn a congressman from Ohio. He opened the door later when each of them was president and others came to pay calls. The Strenuous Ameer. . Let whoever fancies that the strenuous life is a product of occidental republics study the career of the ameer of Afghan- istan. At 15 he resigned an important post because his father would net let him govern according to his own ideas. When a youthful exile, he refused to bow before foreign potentates, making them rather consider it an honor to take his hand and sit by his side. Surrounded by a hostile army of "5.000 soldiers, he mingled dis guised among the crowd, caught the lead er by the throat anf from that vantage compelled him to make'peace. . Through the rigors of winter campaigns, sitting all night in the snow or dragging- himself through the drifts by his horse's tail, cap tured by the Russians, deserted by his followers. Abdurrahman's courage and faith in his destiny never failed. In 1SS0 the English established him on the throne of his fathers, and he plunged Into single hearted work for the improve ment of his country. European reforms. public education, scientific and - mechan ical inventions and a straightforward po litical policy, characterized the ameer s dealings with the outside world. Lying, as his country does, between aggressive Russia and India with its English, "for ward movement," Afghanistan must be regarded as one-of the strategic points of modern civilization and the ameer as no impotent factor in the bewildering Asiatic problem.

MEALS AT THE AQUARIUM, It Doein't Cost Mack to Board Freak Water Fishes In Winter. The biggest eater in the New York aquarium is the West Indian seal, which is between six and seven feet in length, weighs about 300 pounds and eats daily ten pounds of food, in two meals. . The food consists generally of cut op codfish and eels, with occasionally, for variety's sake, a meal or two of cut up herring. The big seal's appetite is uniformly good the year round.! The smallest eater in the aquarium at; this season is another very sizable crea tion, the Mississippi catfish, nearly four feet in length and weighing about 75 pounds, which in winter eats absolutely nothing. This big fish has eaten nothing at all since early in November last, now nearly three months ago. It lies perfectly still on the bottom of its tank for days and weeks at a time, without changing its position and showing no sign of life except upon the closest observation, when the faintest possible movement of the gill covers is discernible, indicating res piration. The big catfish is practically in hiber nation. In its native waters it would-at this season bury itself in the mud. Its abstinence from food excites no uneasi ness as to its condition. It is natural for to go without food at this season. From Dec. 19, 1899, when the catfish was received at the aquarium, until the fol lowing June 8 it ate nothing. But, while the catfish thus goes without in the win ter, its summer appetite Is good. The big catfish is not the only fish that abstains from food in winter. Nearly, if not quite all, of the fresh water fishes in the aquarium do so at this season in a greater or less degree. This would be true, for example, of the smaller cat- fishes as well as of the big one and of the bullheads, the black bass, the pickerel, the bony gars, the trout, the salmon and others. In summer all .these fishes are fed daily. In winter they are fed only every other day, and that not because the ma jority of fishes actually need the food, but to make sure that such individual fishes as might want to eat are supplied. On the salt water side of the aquari um the feeding goes on, and the fishes eat, in winter and summer, substantially the same. That is because the water is kept at some approximation to a uni form temperature, as it must be o keep the fishes alive. On the fresh water side the water is "artificially cooled in sum mer, as it must be then to keep those fishes alive. But they can stand the cold water of winter, in which they here lie dormant, as they- would in nature. On the other hand, many of the fishes on the salt water side, besides those whose home is in tropical waters, would die if it were sought to keep them in water of the temperature hereabout in winter, for in nature these fishes would in win ter seek warmer "depths or waters farther south. These are fishes that under nat ural conditions would eat the year round, and natural conditions being here as far as. possible rreserved they eat here -the year round likev.-jpe. New York Sun.

The character of today's market for stocks was very similar to that of yesterday. Absorp tion of railroad stocks of a high grade by buyers of abundant resources and of a substantial k nd went on side by side with wide fluctuations in some of the highly speculative specialties. So far as the railroad department ; was concerned, activity was shifted to some extent from those stocks which were most prominent yesterday. During the latter part of the day there -was abundant evidence of large profit tak ing. Stocks which had been strong early in the day fell back materially, and many usually prominent stocks which were not notably active today were allowed to fall back below, last night's level. Nevertheless, the day's gains are very striking, both by reason of the character of the stocks affected and the amount of , transactions ; and the extent of the gains in them. ! Yesterday's late movement in Bur lington was continued at the outset this morning and the stock was carried up 2 to 150, a record price. , The strength of the stock was due to .the fact that large competing railroad in terests are admittedly buying the stock, professedly for investment, but, according to the Wall street interpre tation, wth a possible view to consoli dation or at all events to the extension of a community of interests. Union Pacific and Pennsylvania were all said to be interested in the buying. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad stocks cont nued to show conspicuous strength, the common advancing 3 and the preferred 2. There was also a striking movement in Atchison preferred, which carried it up 3 points. The common stocks of th's road, Union Pacific, Southern Pa cific and Louisville and Nashville were also very strong. . The later movement of the day had some appearance of manipulation for the purpose of sustaining the market, while profit taking was in progress elsewhere. The reactionary movement took a point or more from the best prices of many of the stocks. There was a long list of stocks of smaller railroads wh'ch were moved up all the way down a po nt to 2. Long Island rose 8 on light transactions and clos ed with a net gain of 6.- : - Among the Industrials, Amalgamated Cooper and Sugar claimed the largest share of attention. The former open ed down 1 on reports of a renewal of , antagonistic measures in Montana, It was strongly supported and was ral lied 2 at one tlme, bttt dealing it broke below 101 and closed with a net loss of 2. Sugar was forc ed under last night for only a brief period and after varied fluctuations closed with a net gain of 1. The steel stocks continued much neglected and heavy In tone. The formal steps to wards the completion of - measures to rnsure the exchange are still- in pro grss. While ' the new securities thus remain non-existent, operations In the group are hampered. i . The railroad bonds continues active and prices generally higher. Total sales, par value, were $5,080,000 United States 3's registered declined uer cent, on the last call. The total sales of stocks today were 1,122,300 shares. ; - The Drr Goods Market. - . New York, March' 6.
