The trouble was rel- ative to the supplying of this society with all the tickets desired by the members. ‘The action of the board of arbitration in the matter of the dis lof the tickets has been severely eri and the administration has been characterized as a despotism and it has been intimated that it has been moved by fin- ancial rather than artistic principles in the matter in questio - Lt comsmnitte bev charge of the of @ tickets — decided that at future Wagner festivals at Bayreuth the members of the various Wagner societios forming the ge: Wagner society will have the exclusive right to purchase the tickets until May 15 preceding each festival, after which time the tickets will be offered for tale to the general public.

Henry Clews in his Weekly Financial Review isnued today says: “In my last week's survey of the influences affecting the stock market, I gave special prominence to a set of factors which might be construed favorable to the sell- ing of certain securities. At that time those factors were so sere, occupying the at- tention of operators that it appeared probable that they might produce at least a temporary decline; and, with that view, T suggested solling ‘special stocks rather than buying. At the same time, however, the mar- ket bad another side and another set of influ- ences, which though, for the time being, dor- mant'and uninfluential, were yet plainfy des- tined to have a favorable influence pee prices sooner or later; and asthe market of the past two weeks seems to have been in some measure moved by those considerations it may be proper to make due reference to them. “The wheat crop now promises to surpass both in quantity and ity the earlier esti- mates, 580,000,000 to 600,000,000 bushels being now regarded as not an impossible yield. The specinl importance attached to thie fact is that wheat being so largely an export crop this unprecedented sup- ly of it gives us the greater power for controlling the return of the abnormal ex- ports of gold for the last eight months, If Eu- rope should need doubie the average supply of American wheat of the last ten years we sball beina position to send it. This fact cannot reasonably be denied a favorable allowance in estimating the probabilities of a reflux of gold to the United States. ‘It is quite possible that unfavorable features in the condition of European finances and commerce bave been exaggerated in the common estimate. It always happens, after panic, that fear and apprehension unduly sway the public mind and make the after-effects more serious they might or nced be. But it is well io remember that two pani never come in immediate succession. imm- diately after the crash recovery sets in, and though it may proceed alowly and amid timid- ity aud caution on every side yet the process is one of sure improvement. “It seems proper to add a word as fo th prospects ot our home money. We havenow- & week or two later than usual—reached the turning point in the domestic ex: and money bas begun to flow westward. Although the amount of the reserves of the New York banks is double what it was at the same time | asked last year, yet that may not provent our “local” cash resources being drawn down to a point threatening stringency. That is a matter, however, that can only be determined by experience. ‘It ia not to be overlooked in this connection that the active elreuiation of the country has incronsed some seventy millions during the last twelve months, which, in the absence of any increase in the trade of the country, should pass for an element of some importance in estimating the Prospects of the money market. laving stated some of the favorable factors which lack of space excluded from our last week's review, 1 would nevertheless repeat the opinion then expressed—that the “b ele- ment does not seem to have fully exhausted itsolf; hence the point does not appear to have yet been renobed at which it is sate to load up eavily with stocks, except for brief turns, and the buying ahould be confined to periods when slumps are produced by the active traders.” meme eats LOCAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, Final Arrangements Will Be Perfected for the Kegatta Next Week.

Yesterday = morn- ing’s mail brought to the mansion, among other packets, a letter addressed to that lady, care of the White House. It was forwarded without attracting any particular notice beyond the comment that it was odd that any one should sendmail matter to Mrs. Polk here after forty years bad elapsed since her occupation of the President's mansion. But when ‘faz Srax later in the day announced the death of the lady the oddity of the incident was doubly impressive. & POEM IN TEN MINUTES. How Mlle.

How to Eai Onc—The Best Preparation Be- ing to Steal it From the Macon Teiecraph. “What's the best way to eat a watermelon?” inquired a citizen. | “hat depends,” said another. “Henry Grady once gave his method, and it was.a good one for eating melons honestly obtained, but if you want to eat a melon to get the full flavor of it, imagine yourself a boy again, and, after eneak- ing into a patch, crawl over the field until you get the one you want and then get over the | feree with itand sitdown iiacorner. Then | break it open and eat while watching through | the cracks of the fence for the owner of the | patch. Grady"s idea was to go out in the cool | of the morning before the sun dried the dew, thump the melon: il one gave Lack the proper jsound, and then, with a short-bladed knife, | give a’rake all around it the jong way. Throw away the kmife and give the melon a whack on | your knee. ‘The meion purts and leaves all the | bearton one half.

The THE ENTRANCE RULE AT THE BAL TIMORE AND OHIO DEPOT. ‘Why It te Necessary. pains to look into the matter, and to find ont the reason for the enforcement of this rale. Itie learned from the railroad officials that Probably one-fourth of the entire m ot Passengers coming to the depothare been using the carriageway and also availing themselves of the opening afforded by the crossing of North Capitol street. The last named method of entrance is regarded as extremely danger- ots, as ail trains entering and leaving the de- Pot, together with shifting engines and trains ‘of empty cars, are passing every minute of the day and night. The increased amount of travel during the summer months necessitates a larger ber of trains and the danger at thie point Passageway is dangly increased. Another reason for this rule is that complai had been made to the railroad officials bt sons who come tothe trains by en- ‘frances that those who come in by the othet ways bad au advantage in securing the choice seats in the trains, leaving nothing but the side” for those who conformed to the jons. t also interferes materially with the work of making King up and shifting trains to have a num- Persons congregated on the form and makes the work of cleaning. og and watering trainsdoubly dificult. Under circumstances the rule is beld to be a reason- able one and it is declared that the railroad ny would attempt to enforce any regulation that would work the slightedt un- necessary discomfort to its patrons. The same regulation ts enforced at every railroad depet in all the large cities of the country. poner ee ROSALIE GEIST CASE. She Will Remain With Mr. Trueworthy Under a New Arrangement. This morning in the Circuit Court room Chief Justice Bingham decided the case of Rosalie Geist, who was brought before hi on @ writ of habeas corpus issued on the peti- tion of the German Orphen Asylum, direcied to Burnett Truoworthy, wo it was alleged was restrained by the latier of her liberty. ‘There represenung Mr. Trueworthy and the father; Mr. Simon Wolf, who, with Sr.W.G. Johnson, represented the asylum; Dr. Walker, Louis Kettler and others who are interested in the asylum, ‘The chief justice eaid that the questions in- Yolved were not difficult, and it was suiicient for the petitioner to show a legal right to the custody of the child, and the question was as to custody, not the manner how be hoide, but simply has he the custody Hie did not discover that there was anything in the by-laws made by authority of law which could be complained of. ‘The object of tue asylum was beneficent and it should receive the encouragement of the community and also of the courts; it should Le Upheld in its good work. While the courtesbould sce that no injustice a» done to the individual they should taxe care that nothing be done to frustrate the designs of the institution. It was perfectly compecent for # parent to release the Custody of the child to the institution, and ia England it had been held that the instrument may be revoked by the father, and in this coun- try it can bedone when it is chown that it is for the weltare of the child if the parents’ condi- thon is changed so asto enable them to care for the child. The welfare of the child is the object and au institution of this Kind should not feel in any order made by the courts that their work is disparaged if the court orders the contest to the father, the nataral guardian. He did not think that there was any great difficulty; ue young lady prefers to go with the respondent and the father tur some reason joins in that request, and, as he understood, counsel was wiliing thut ber request be com- plied with. They, however, think that ther authority under the rules and regulations should apply. Upon the whole be thought it would be the best for her that it should be so, be wise for her to remuin with subject to the rules and of the asylum. It nate ‘or her that when she went to Mr. Ochman’s and did not like her position she did not go at once to the commitive, ashe Was sure that she would have been asmsted im obtaining wnother place. He suggested that an arrangement be made by the committee with Mr. Trueworthy of the same character as that made with Mr. Ochman, with the exception that one-balf her wages be left with the asylum until she is eighteen years of age. It would be best for all that this be done, for the father does not show that be is entitled to the custody, having no home to which te take her. Looking to the future it was proper that she should have some one to look to till she became of age, for there may be a disagreement or something happen when it will be an advantage to her to have the watchfainess of the institution over er. He suggested that they make an arrange- ment as mudicated and be would then sign we order. . Mr. Danicls called attention to « report of the case which is supposed reflected on Ma. Ochmai justice sxid that be had seem Ihe chi nothing which reflected on him. Mr. Woll stated that the object of the asylum Mas to have its rights defined and that Dr. Walter, chairman of the committee, would come in on Monday, when the arrangemente, he thought, would be made.
