He said this morning that the West was on fire with enthusiasm for free silver, and he be lieved that the next Democratic nation al convention would state the position of the Democratic party in terms that could not be misunderstood. The day for straddling, he said, had passed. The candidate and he cared not who it was so long as he whs a "sound cur rency" man would be a man who would interpret the platform as the masses have heretofore interpreted it. Senator Jones added that he looked for little relief for the cause of silver in the next Congress, owing to the present in cumbency of the Executive Mansion. The friends of silver, however, would keep up the fight until the final victory was won. McKlatey, Reed, Allison. Washington Post, 2d, It would seem that although Gov. McKinley's presidential boom has the strong support or senator frltchard, yet it will not have thtngs altogether its own way in North Carolina. At the Ebbitt last evening Hon. Thomas Set tle, of that State, said: "Gov. McKinley is by no means the choice of a majority of the Republicans of the Old North State. He will, no doubt, have the delegates from one dis trict, that in which Senator Fritchard resides, but none of the other districts will elect McKinley delegates. My be lief is that Mr. Reed is a decided favor ite in our section, although Senator Allison has quite a number of devoted followers." Honors Are Easy.

Spot prices here were weaker, bat later on the market took on a different complexion. It recovered the decline and closed steady, tbongh the speculation was comparatively small to-dsy, sales being only 107,100 bales. The recovery was due to buy ing by the shorts, some of whom became rather nervous owing to unfavorable crop reports from some parts of Texas and a ru mor tbat the Galveston News to-morrow will estimate the acreage of Texas at 10 less than that of last year. Fair Hirer, it is reported, advanced on a large business. Hliver advanced 1-ltid. In London.

Naw York, May 3. The stock market was active and irregular with frequent, in some Instances, wide fluctuations. J-eutl er rose sharply in the morning, but a little break in the common uncovered stop or ders, which carried the price down 3 from the best figures.

JNBW I OKK ISKWS DUKIAU The Feeling Was Quite Nervous In Wheat, and Scalpers Sold Feeely. Chicago, May 8. The local feeling was quite bearish tbls morning at the opening. Scalpers and floor traders were free sellers, as was also a large commission house, trie letter s sales reaching as high as Iuo.ouo bushel. In conequence prices eased off about per bushel from the cloe last night. There appeared, however, unlimited buying orders from some source, and these heavy offerings were soon absorbed, the market later oecoming firm at an advance of 1,a0. The seaboard, particularly Balti more, then began to report a good caih bus iness done, with prospects of more sales, amounting to about 105.000 bushels, were also reported in this market yesterday and to-oay. This stanea tne snorts Duying again, and prices advanced 13r? from the low point, but nan oi mis was lost on real izing f-ales outside of the cash business re ported and dry weather in several localities. New has generally been bearish. Cables, eatly, were weak, while closing quoted Ber lin, as naving lost nearly an ot neraavance of yesterday. Antwerp and Paris were also lower. Norm we tern receipts were large (498 cars) and receipts at primary points bid fair to show an Increase for the week of at least 350,000 bushels over last week. Clear ances were small 243,000 bushels over half of which was flour, shorts continue to be nervous and - are very reluctant about standing on their lines when the market shows strength. The local feeling gener ally Is inclined to the bear side, but trader are nervous, thus laying the market open to very radical changes. Investors and the oeneral outside pub. ic are still the buyers, and they are decidedly getting the best of the deal. Corn opened at about last night's close, but immediately became strong and ad vanced a cent per bushel on further cover ing by shorts, induced largely on the con tinued good export demand at the seaboard and theJIberal charters in this market. Oats do not show much change, but are firm. In sympathy with other cereals. Provisions received another set-back on free offerings and lack of demand. Packers were the principal sellers. lambok Bros.

Mere practical knowledge of any Art Science or Profession! is not the condition of an enlightened man. The mind may still be narrow, dull and hard, uninformed as to the great world and familiar only with its own 'neck of woods." The movements of society, the vicissitudes of nations, the progress of arts and sciences, have all but slight interest for him. Such a man is not broad-minded enough to apprehend Evee His Owe Chances Of development and success. How different is it with the man of wide and well-directed reading, such as the members of the Home University League are now pursu ing He grows well-informed and cultured. He is ready in resources and competent for new enterprises. His mind has proper Tone, Feeling, Breadth and Liberality, For dealing with all human interests. He is valued in business, in society and in public life. Aside from the studies of youth and the actual preparation for a given pursuit, this is the chief aim of the Leaeue now established. This is why choice has been made of the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a basis of instruc tion. This famous work is the cream and concentration of all human knowledge up to date. With the Study (uide that has been provided fcr it, the guidance furnished to its students and the capable minds that can be appealed to on points of difficulty, no such chance has ever existed for making Keen, Cultured and Useful Men and women.
