The attention of the sultan of Turkey
is called to the fact that Mr. Morgan is
leaded his way. It might be possible to
negotiate a loan sufficient to meet that
obligation to Uncle Sam now long; over
due. President McKinley is taking no un
necessary chances. He declined to walk
out on the bridge at El Paso or to enter
the Congress gold mine. In taking pro
per care of himself he is merely fulfill
ing1 a duty to the country over which he
lias been elected to preside.
Each additional report on the Nicar
cgua canal project raises the estimate of
the cost a few millions. These estimates
started at about $100,000,000 and the one
mot recently made places the probable
cost at $250,000,000. There are still a few
experts to hear from.
Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, known

which has recently been published.
THE ADVANCE IN SANTA FE.
"Wall street," says Henry Clews, "is
apparently figuring on the consolidation
of various roads to comprise three trans
continental lines, connecting by rail the
Atlantic with the Pacific ocean. This
movement started by the Northern Pa
cific securing control of the C, B. & Q.,
to complete its through line. The N. Y.
Central and Pennsylvania people, it is
thought, must necessarily fall in line in
self-defence, hence, the rise in Atchison
common to 90 implies that the Pennsyl
vania road may be buying it for control,
find the same theory applies to the N. Y.
Central people in endeavoring to ac
quire control of the Union Pacific road
to complete its through line to the Pa
cific coast. Whether these impressions
nre true or false, they form the basis
of rumors which in this wild market
are acted upon as though they were
based upon actual fact, hence, the recent
rapid advance in the price of both Union
Pacific and Atchison stocks. It is a pity,
however, that the N. Y. Central mag
nates were not sagacious enough to buy
In the control of Union Pacific when its
Etocks sold down to SS a share Instead of
now paying up to 130 for it. It is also
unfortunate that the Pennsylvania peo
ple did not buy Atchison common stock
when it sold at $3 a share and the pre
ferred at US as recently as six years
ago, instead of paying 105 for the pre
ferred and 90 for the common at the
present time. The same applies also to
Pdr. Hill's recent purchase for the con
trol of C, B. & Q at 200 when only a
comparatively short time since it could
have been obtained in the 60s. It is a
different "proposition buying properties
for consolidation purposes at a bankrupt
price and at a tremendously advanced
figure, especially when it is taken into
consideration that the connections are
for all time."
KEEP COOL.
LFrom the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
For several months prices of nearly all
stocks have been steadily rising. As a
result buyers have seen their invested
iiundreds swell to thousands, and their
thousands to millions. Their success is
inspiring general imitation of their ex
ample. Buying stocks for a rise has be
come the fashion all over the country.
The speculative fever the desire to
grow rich quickly has risen to such
heights that its inevitable decline must
prove fatal to many of its victims.
For it must be remembered that prices
can not always advance. They must in
the long run be governed by the earn
ing power of industry. If the X., Y.
and Z. railway's business, for example,
one year with another, enables it to
pay 4 per cent dividends, its shares at
J 100 each are manifestly desirable, but
the man who buys X.. Y. and Z. stock
at $200 will receive but 2 per cent. Of
Course, the great majority of such buy-
era expect to sell out somewhere above
$200 and retire with the profits.
But there must always be a last man
"the holder of the bag" to be caught
when the price declines to its natural
level. Such men find their incomes cut
in half, or worse. Then the family
must move to a cheaper house, and the
boy can not go to college, and perhaps
the sheriff winds up a business that
would have given a steady income had
not its life been drained away by haste
to grow rich.
Of course, legitimate industry will not
be vitally injured by stock-market flur
ries, but, in the light of the visible facta
and the teachings of experience, now
seems a good time for men careful of
their own future to be wary of Btock
speculation. The American people as a
whole. In all their industries, were never
more prosperous. But undue haste to
get rich, while it can not destroy, may
check and Impair this prosperity. It Is
a good time to keep cool.

Catarrh
The beet authorities say, is a disease
of the blood.
Therefore local applications cannot
cure.
Being a constitutional disease it
requires a constitutional remedy
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
By thoroughly purifying the blood,
this great medicine reduces the in
flammation of the mucous membrane
and stops all catarrhal discharges of
the nose, throat, stomach, bowels,
bladder and generative organs.
Catarrh is especially dangerous in
persons 'who inherit or have acquired
a predisposition to consumption.
In these and all other catarrhal cases,
Hood's Sarsaparilla so thoroughly ren
ovates the blood and restores strength
and vigor that it permanently cures.
In fact, because of the character of
the disease, and the peculiar merit of
the remedy, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the
common-sense treatment for catarrh.
" I was a sufferer from nasal catarrh, grad
ually growing worse. I began taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla which completely
cured me of that troublesome disease."

YET ERA N OF THREE WARS.
John J. Overton Is Still Sprightly at
the Age of 104.
The attention of the people who were
at the Santa Fe depot this morning was
attracted to the battle scarred veteran
of three wars, John J. Overton. He is
104 years old, and was waiting for his
train, being en route from St. Joseph, to
California.
Mr.Overton was born in Warren coun
ty, Pa., in 1797, and served in the Black
Hawk war, the Mexican war and the
Civil war. He served in the Fourth Il
linois in the war with Mexico and with
the 40th and loth Iowa in the civil war.
Mr. Overton is a small man weighing
probably 130 pounds, is slightly stoop
shouldered and his hair is beginning to
be streaked with gray. He would not
be taken ordinarily to be over 65 years
of age. Pie wears a Grand Army suit
and fedora hat of the style worn by old
soldiers.
Mr. Overton belongs to two organiza
tions, the G. A. R. and the Odd Fellows.
He Joined the Odd Fellows in 1S31 when
there were but 13 lodges of that order
in America. He is the father of seven
children, all of whom are living. Dur
ing his whole life Mr. Overton has never
drank, or used tobacco.He is as spright
ly and healthy at the age of 104 years
as many men are at the age of 50.
He reads without glasses, having nev
er worn a pair. Hi hearing is slightly
defective in his right ear from the fact
that it was injured during the Civil war
by a bombshell .explosion.
"I have never lived in Kansas," he
said to a State Journal reporter. "I am
sorry to say this. Kansas ia a great
state and I know much of the state
from what I have read but I am now on
my way to my home at Long Beach,
California. I have been visiting my son
it St. Joseph."
He voted for Jackson when he first
made the race for president in 1824 and
has ever since voted the Republican
ticket. "I believe in expansion and pro
tection," he said.
He also had the privilege of seeing
Fulton's steamboat on the Hudson river,
the first steamboat that was ever built,
and also rode on the first railroad ever
built.
A FEW STOCKS RALLY
While Many Continued to De
cline Till the Close.
New York. May 8. When United
States Steel preferred had reached a
decline of 12 points today apparently
unlimited buying orders appeared in the
stock, which rallied it to 8 points. There
were other rallies in sympathy, Brook
lyn Transit recovering 6 points and
other prominent stocks from 2 to 3.
Other stocks, however continued to
break to still lower levels, Missouri Pa
cific touching 99, Amalgamated Copper
losing 124, Illinois Central 11, Western
Union 10 American Tobacco 9, Erie S1,
Manhattan 7 and Union Pacific extend
ing its loss to 17 points. In the clos
ing deal the market continued its wild
and erratic character, sudden rebounds
in some points being offset by renewed
declines on others.
CARNEGIE WAS THERE.
Attends Annual Meeting of Iron and
Steel Institute.
London, May 8. The annual meeting
of the iron and steel institute com
menced today. It is attended by all the
prominent engineers in Great Britain,
while almost all the engineering cen
ters are represented, Andrew Carnegie
being among those present. The new
president, William. Whitehall, devoted
almost all his remarks to American
methods, declaring Great Britain "would
be compelled to adopt them.
William Garrett . of Cleveland, who
read a paper, prefaced his remarks by
declaring Great Britain's supremacy in
the iron and steel trade, so long held,
was now lost. He then went into a
detailed comparison of the methods of
British and American rolling mills,
with no Mattering deductions for Great
Britain, and concluded with declaring
that if the British steel makers did not
follow the example of the Americans by
combining, and also by only manufac
turing at points most advantageous for
shipment and using the most econom
ical methods, the manufacture of Iron
and steel would become a lost art in
Great Britain.
The chairamn in announcing Mr.
Carnegie's gift of 6,500 pounds to the in
stitute for original metallurgical re
search, said Mr. Carnegie had decided
to double the amount, and to announce
he has decided to distribute it among
various nationalities one-third to Dr.
Matthews (American), "one-third to Dr.
Goldberg (Austrian), and one-third to
Dr. Stansfield (English).
Mr. Carnegie in proposing a vote of
thanks for the president's address, said
that in his opinion the president had put
his finger on the right spot. The whole
lesson of this address was:
"You must look at home and develop
the material you have.
"Get right at home, said Mr. Car
negie, "and do not worry about things
abroad."
The way to get hold of foreign mar
kets, Mr. Carnegie continued, was to get
hold of and conquer the markets at
home. It was not necessary to thank
him for the prizes he had given for re
search. He had to thank the institute
for he felt it was a field In which a
great deal more money might be profit
ably spent.
