Germs of Disease
like consumption germs, for instance, may be taken into
the system at any time. But when the system is
undermined the germs take root and grow. After a hard
Winter the body needs a nourishment (not a'mere tonic or
medicine,] to help ride out the storms of Spring and with
stand disease. Exposure to disease now means the taking
of disease, unless the system is properly nourished.

Brotherhood of Tailors May In
augurate a Sympathy Strike.
New York, April I.— A second in
junction was granted today against the
locked-out garment cutters, restraining
the United Garment Cutters of America
■ from Interfering with the business of
I Kaufinann & Co., Pier, Stone & Bern
; heimer and lloltzman & Bieuzsung,
and in any way* enforcing the boycott
auainst them. lie officials of the |
manufacturers' association said that the
names of the four firms had been in
advertently left out of the original
■ application. It is believed, however,
that the real reason is that the manu
facturers became convinced that the
leaders of the locked-out men have been
cleverly evadlnethe first order of Judge j
Lawrence, without making themselves
iiable. for contempt of court. A mass
meeting of the United Brotherhood of
Tailors was held this afternoon to con
sider the advisability of declaring a
sympathetic strike. The speakers were:
President Gompers, of the Federation I
of Labor; Charles F. Richer*, Abraham I
Kalian and Mr. llekew, of the Hebrew j
Trades union. A resolution was adopt- |
ed pledging moral and financial support
to the locked-out cutters, and promising
that if called upon by the cutters and
garment workers to quit work, the tail
ors belonging to the brotherhood would
close. The resolution will be submitted
to the executive committee on Monday.
In case a strike should be declared on i
Monday, about 15,000 men will be
thrown out of work.
A meeting of delegates of the trades
council of United Garment Workers of
America was held tonight. Thirty dele
gates, representing ten unions of cut
ters and tailors of New York and vicin
ity, were present, and it was decided to
hold a grand mass meeting of tailors
and contractors and the entire
clothing making industry of the i
city in Cooper union on Tuesday night !
to protest against the injunction served
upon the officers of the American Fed
eration of Labor and the United Gar
ment Workers of America before there
had been any hearing in court. During
the coining week a secret conference of
the leading officers of the trades
unions of the United States
will be held in this city to take action
on the legal question of boycotts raised
against the cutters during the present
lockout, and to adopt measures to make
boycotting hereafter more effective.
Quite a number of desertions by K. of
L. men in the shops wnere cutters are
locked out were reported tonight. A
number of non-union men were also
reported to have quit work tonight.

Painters Working on the "World's

Chicago, April 1. — Four hundred j
painters, who quit work when the noon I

blow today, did not return to work this
afternoon, and they assert that they will i
not until they are paid 40 cents an hour j
for their work. The strikers include !

i ployed by the exposition company.
The men were on the manufacturers' >
hall at work, which is about half-painted, j
and, as none of the other bisr build- 1
ings have been touched, they claim j
their services are necessary to complete j
! the work by -May 1. The contractors J
say they will not grant the demands of
the men. None of the painters who
were employed by contractors for state j
and foreign* buildings struck. The only
men who quit were employed by the !

FASCINATION " POWER.-
Beyond the Range of Reason
to Determine as to What
It Consists.
The Power of Fascination
Plays an Important Part
in Life.
What Is It That Attracts Us
in One Face and Repels
Us in Another.
The Practical Part Which
This Psychological Pow
er Plays.
What is it? Whence does it Bprltie?
In what unexplored region of the mind
or body are its roots to be found? We
understand it is a living fact, but of its
why, its wherefore, and whether it be
an alliuity purely spiritual or partly
physical, we know absolutely nothing.
Yet it exists; and most of us have
succombed to its power, says a writer
in . the Queen. Few, indeed, are
so poor in imagination, so arid in
sympathies, as not to have become
fascinated by some one or something at
one time of life. And naturally youth
is the time most fertile in these extraor
dinary outbursts of Belt-surrender, when
that one special person is the center of
the universe for the fascinated soul, the
absolute point of perfection, and the
flawless being who can do no wrong.
Little children who are in the mental
condition of savages, find this strange
property of fascination in tilings more
than in persons. To them matter has
attributes which are lost when reason
takes the place of imagination. A child
falls in love with a bit of dead material
and will not be parted from it. it does
not signify what the thintr is. It may
be a doll or a fur rabbit, a ball or a bit
ot blanket. All who have to do with
children know that this queer attrac
tion exists in lifeless, formless things as
well os in those to which it would oe more
easy to give that occult grace. One sturdy
little fellow, who once caught a small
silver fish, would not let the slippery
(•nature out of his chubby hand till
sleep relaxed bis grasp. And then, in
the morning, when he found that his
scaly cnarm had gone, heaven and earth
came together and he broke his little
heart in howls. What did that dead,
slimy, strong-smelling charm represent \
to him? Something quite out of the
power of reason to determine. It must
have filled his callow soul with some
strange su;. r sestions of exquisite beauty
— some subtle scene of a far-off divinity,
for the moment incorporate in
those slimy, shining scales. As J
early civilization goes back for its j
gods to beasts and birds and tishes,
so children lind their friends and secret
confidants, their loves and mental mar
vels, in their hairy playmates or their
featiien-d cautives. We are never so
near the lower creatures as when .ivc
are children. We never understand
them so well or love them so much, for
the tie of community and affection be
tween a child and a dog, or a child and
a cat. is stronger than any made between
an adult master and a four-footed fol
lower, or a becapped old mistress and a :
furry favorite— one of the "little lions. I
small, and dainty sweet,'' for which !
I Artiboe flung over her old lover and i
took "far-traveled Nicias" instead. .
What is it that attracts us in one face !
and repels us in another? We might
say the plain impress of the spirit with
in if we were all attracted by the snme I
person and all repelled by the same. |
But, as with that homely old adage
which sets forth how "one man's meat j
is another man's poison," so the face— j
the person— whom we loathe an- j
other passionately desires, and that
Which we desire another passionately
loathes. The cause lies deeper than j
this. It has its beginning in "some se- |
eret source— some strange, undetected i
science of which we have not got the
key. These subtle harmonies, and no
less subtle discords, have their own "Un
sorting,' and we have to go further yet
into the mysteries of psycho-physiology
before we come upon* that well-con
cealed original cause, "Magnetic," some
cail it, which is merely resting the ele- i
pliant on the back of the tortoise— and
and the tortoise on what? When we say
"magnetic,* 1 how much nearer to the
absolute cause of this harmony— this
discord — are we? We have given a name, j
but the name wants its definition, and
theu the definition must bo reduced to
its elements. For, after all. what is this
"magnetism?" which we say we see be
cause we feel? Is it a chemical affinity
or a geometrical harmony? And in any
case how is it that one person can fasci
nate many and so prove an indefinite
amount of chemical affinity or a
strangely complex geometrical arrange
ment of atoms?
This power of fascination plays an
important part in the lives of men and
women. Too often the effects are disas
trous, though at times— as in the leaders
of large and righteous movements, or of
purer spiritual aspirations— it has been
oae of the workers of salvation for the
world. Yet lor one man who is elevated
and made heroic by the personal fasci
nation of a woman, say, thousands are
degraded and ruined. The George Barn
wells of life are more numerous tlian
the Orsons, and the Omphales and D'eli
lahs are more potent to reduce the
.strength of heroes than are the women
of heroic mould to strengthen and en
noble cowards. The fascination, to
which we all, more or less, at some time
or another, yield ourselves, has its ter
rible side- as well as its lovely". The
"demon lover" of the old poem was but
an ower true type of the fatal ■ power
which can be used by a strong mind
over n weak to the soul's perdition
and the body's ruin of the
one who yields. For, indeed, what
is love but fascination in its highest
sense and to the supremest degree?
If it were not so. how should such and
such be loved with all the fervor of a
life? We see honorable men fascinated ;
into degradation by an utterly unworthy
woman— a woman without heart, pity,
sentiment or morality; a woman who
knows no more of love" than she does of
virtue. Yet she has power to attract,
keep and ruin strong men and noble i
lives. We see, on the other hand,
women of character and posi
tion, who lose themselves, body

Then, all at once, with a little burst of
laughter, a number of young girls enter,
make the customary prostration of
greeting, glide into the open space be
twicn tiie ranks of tho guests, ami be
gin to serve the wine with a trace and
dexterity of which no common maid is
capable.
They are pretty; they are clad in very
costly robes of silk; they are girdled
liiie queens; and the beautifully dressed
hair of each is decked with fresh flow
ers, with wonderful combs and pins,
and with curious ornaments of gold.
They greet the stranger as if they had
always knosvn him; they jest, laugh and
utU-r funny little cries. These are the
geisha, or dancing girls, hired for the
banquet.
Saiuisen tinkle. The dancers with
draw to a clear space at the further end !
of the banqueting hall, always vast j
enough to admit of many more guests j
than ever assemble upon common oc- j
casions. Some form the orchestra. I
under the direction of a woman of un
certain age: there are several saniiseu,
and a tiny drum played by a child.
Others," singly or in pairs, perform the
dancti. It may be swiit and merry, con
sisting wholly of graceful posturing—
two girls dancing together with
such coincidence of step and
gesture as only years of train
nie could render possible. Hut more
frequently it is rather like acting than j
what we Occidentals call dancing— act- ]
ing accompanied with extraordinary
waving of sleeves ami fans, and with a
play of eyes and features, sweet, subtle, |
I subdued, wholly Oriental.
There are more voluptuous dances
known to geisha, but upon ordinary oc
casiuns and before refined audiences
they portray beautiful old Japanese I
traditions, like- the legend of the fisher
Qrasbima, beloved by the sea god's
daughter; and at intervals they sing |
ancient Chinese poems, expressing a !
natural emotion with delicious vivid- j
ness by a few exquisite words.
And always they pour the wine— that |
warm, pale yellow" sleepy wine which I
rills the veins with soft contentment,
making a faint sense of ecstasy, through
which, as through some poppied sleep,
the commonplace becomes wondrous
and blissful, and the geisha u.aids of
paradise, and the world much sweeter
than, in the natural order of things, it
could ever possibly be.
The banquet, at first so silent, slowly
changes to a merry tumuli. The com
pany break ranks, form groups; and
from group to group the girls pass, I
laughing, prattling-still pouring sake |
into the cups which are being ex- j
changed and emptied with low bows.
.Men begin to sing old samurai songs, !
old Chinese poems. One or two even |
dance. A geisha tucks her robe we'll up
to her knees; and the samisen strike up
the quick melody, "Konipira fune
fune." As the music plays she begins [
to run lightly and swiftly in a figure of |
a. and a young man, carrying a sake ,
bottle and cup, also luns in the same
figure of 8.
It the two meet on a line, the one
.through whose error the meeting
happens must drink a cup of sake. The
music becomes quicker and quicker,
and the runners run faster and
faster, for they must keep time
to the melody, and the geisha wins. In
another part of the room guests and
geisha are playing ken. They sing as
they play, facing each other, and clap
their hands, and iling out their fingers
at intervals with little cries; and the
Bauiisen keep time.

HIS PLUNGING O'ER, .
Death of a One-Time Prominent
Chicago Broker.
Chicago. April I.— V.C. Place, known
on the board of trade as the "Pittsburg
Plunger," died at Mr. Clements, Mich.,

and seven or eight years ago estab
lished a brokerage business in Pitts
burg. lie founded a chain of bucket
shops covering about a hundred
agencies In Ohio, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania, and In a couple of years
j amassed a fortune of over $500,000.
When the board of trade shut off its
official quotations Place closed his
bucket shops, moved to Chicago, satisfied
the directors of the board that he was
earnestly desirous of doing a legitimate
I business, and was admitted to member!
-! ship. He speculated on a mammoth
scale, his operations at times
rivaling those of Pardridge, Ilutch
inson or Cudahy. Eventually he met
with serious reverses, and during the
last couple of years did not cut much of
[ a figure." lie lost his health about the
time be lost the big end of his money,
and has been visibly failing tor several
months. In the heyday of his success
Place thought nothing of bujing or sell

Railway Shares Beginning to
Feel the Effect of
the Fair.
Chicago, April I.— The great provi
sion deal on the board of trade, which
! for twelve months has kept the price of
j pork, lard anil short ribs under domina
tion of two firms, was loosened up to
day. Cudahy iV Co. and N. K. Fuirbank
it Co., who have since March, 1802, been
in command of the provision market,
have abdicated. They are satisfied
seemingly with the $3,000,000, which
they are said to have cleaned up on
I their twelve months' manipulation.
! The markets for provisions to-lay, with
| out the support which those linns have
| been in the habit of giving them, were
i extremely weak. There was a drop of
I $1 per barrel in pork and $1 per 100
| pounds in lard. When the crowd saw
i that the hog meats were abandoned by
j their late supporters, there was a gen
! eral rush to unload, resulting in the
I heavy decline referred to. A.J.Wright,
! more familiarly referred to as "Charley.
Wri.'ht, is one of the heaviest winners
by the break, as he was among the big
gest winners on the great advance of
the summer and winter, lie was also
the originator of the big bull deal, and
was a limited partner in it, but with
drew when he thought prices had got as
high as the circumstances warranted,
lie then took the bea,r side. The big
drop in the price of provisions was the j
principal feature of the markets today.
Everything else was similarly affected, ,
but to a less depressing extent than the
provision deal. Tonight, compared
with the clot-ing prices Thursday, the
following are the losses sustained: j
Pork, l>2'..e lower; lard, S:>Ke; ribs, i
?.?.y,c. Wheat and corn le, and oats %c ;
lower.
Wheat opened a little higher on some
bad crop damage reports, but tine
weather and some contradictions of the
early reports started rather free selling,
which soon made prices weak. The
subsequent break in provisions in
creased the depression in cereals, and
on the down tun: there was heavy liq
uidation, slop loss orders and exhausted
margins, which carried May off r r e
from the early figure. July went off
about %c. There seemed no support
whatever for May and not much for
July. During the late hour the market
was quiet and closed about &c from bot
tom figures.
Com opened a shade better, but there
were liberal offerings and prices soon
started down with but little subsequent
recovery. Commission men had liberal
selling orders- and on the weakness
longs liquidated freely. John 15. Lyou
was the'largest Individual .seller.
In oats there was a good trade and a
weak feeling, prices declining to the
lowest point, on the crop, the drop being
Kb, and the close 1 at }£c above the in
side figures. The depression was due
to 'sympathy with corn and to selling by
101 l ITS.
Hog products at times were almost
panicky. The selling was enormous,
with very little demand except to cover
shorts, and none of the big bulls showed

FINANCIAL*
W«mv York.
Nev»' Yobk, Anril I.— The stock mar
ket was active almost from start to lin
ish. There were tree purchases to cover
short contracts, and the buying for the
long account was characterized by a
greater degree of confluence than has
prevailed for some time.' This was at
tributed to the fact that the April inter
est i.nd dividend disbursements are ex
pected to restore ease to the money
market in a few days, and to the belief
that railway business will be enormous
for months to come on account or. the
world's fair. The April interest pay
ments have also stimulated the inquiry
for investment stocks and bonds. The
professionals' generally take a hopeful
view of the situation, and experienced
little difficulty , in advancing prices
today. The decline in Distill
ing and Cattle Feeding of over
2 per cent, owing to the
fact that the stock will no- longer be in
demand for election purposes, the trans
fer booKS having closed today, failed to
check the rising tendency of the general
list. National Cordage common rose S&
to 07%, Pittsburg & Western preferred
2}.j to 42, Lead 234 t043%, Jersey Central
2 to 122, Delaware & Hudson 2 to 122,
Sugar 1% to 107%, General Electric \%
to 108%, and Lackawanna 1% to 147%.
The rise otherwise was equal to 34@1
per cent, and the grangers were especi
ally in demand. Buying was stimulated
by the increase of $1,400,000 in the bank
reserve, a loss having been generally
looked for. At the close prices were '„
to % below the highest figures attained,
but the tone ot the market was strong,
notwithstanding the announcement that
the further sum of $1,000,000 gold has
been engaged for shipment to Europe
on Tuesday next. This makes §1.500,
--000 engaged up to the close of business
today. The sales aggregated 170,599
shares.
The Post says: "Similar to that of
last week, today's bank statement was
much more favorable than had been
predicted, the receipt by many oanks of
ietral tenders from neighboring cities
having, in large part, eluded the notice
of inquirers. Bank gold holdings were
again substantially unchanged. Consid
erable liiihtwiil be thrown on the tenac- j
ity with which this specie is held by the
facts developed in Comptroller Hep
burn's March report. This embraces
all the national banks in the country.
Compared with a year ago, it appears
the banks of Chicago have increased
their {fold coin and certificate holdings
$1,428,136, while tiie bulk of the legal
tenders has in the same time fallen oil
15,620,343. and now stands at the unusu
ally low figure of $5,826,559. Now, of
the entire cash holdings of those
twenty-three brinks, fully 10 per cent is
in gold. To appreciate this remarkable
fact comparisons should be made with
the Fourth National Bank of New York
city, whose holdings of gold coin and
certificates sir. the present date make up
GO cent of its total cash resources.
While the Chicago banks in the past
year have been increasing their stock
of gold by a million and a half, and
while most of the other Western bank
ing centers tell the same story of ex
panding gold reserves, the banks of
New York city have lost in specie near
ly ?25.000,000. It would hardly be fair un
der such conditions to blame the local
banks lor refusing to turn in voluntarily
any more of their gold balance to the
treasury."

activity and the presence of holidays in- I

in Europe, and there were no cables I
markets from there. Reports of injury I
to the winter wheat crops are still com- |
ing along. Michigan is emerging from i
snow In all parts, and that state is now i
the subject of solicitude on the part of j
speculators. On the whole, reports from !

London, April — Discount rates
were easy during last week at V?i for
three months and 1?.; for short. Re
newal usual bonds at quarter day,
stock exchange payments and holiday
requirements brought about a brisk de
mand for money, borrowers having ob
tained assistance from the Bank of En
gland to the extent of £3,000,000. All
foreign gold demands are still met by
arrivals in the open markets, while a
fair amount continues to flow into the
I Bank os England. The silver market
advanced throughout the week, the
improvement being chiefly due to a
steady demand for India. . The heavy
curtailment in remittances eastward ill
j the last few weeks has strengthened
j exchange. On the stock exchange dur
j ing the week a remarkably linn tone
I prevailed in every department, and
prices generally were better. Although,
this was chiefly duetto operators for a
fall closing their accounts, it must be
admitted that there is a very hopeful
feeling that business will materially
improve alter Easter. It is doubtful,
however, whether the revival will come
immediately. The change will more
probably come slowly. Consols rose }{
between makiug-up day, March 27, and
Thursday, March SO. Foreign securities
were well supported during the
week, largely on account of
the various loans pending. Argen
tine securities rose l}>l. Brazilian 1 and
