yLOSNG PRICES OF PHILApELPR1A STOCKS

FRIDAY, Aug. 5-P. NJ.
The transactions in stocks to-day were a little
larger than those of yesterday, but the market was
marked by the same fcatures-duness and weak
ness There were rumors in circulation to affect
values. But the contradiction which time has given
to the recent report of 'settlement of the rail
latOrs who had purchased stocks because of their
faith in the rumors and of their belief that "set-
tlement" however little it might affect the immedi-
ate revenues OF the railroads, would make a small
boom" in stock speculation. The news of the day.
which was not known during board hours includes
the announcement by some of those persons
who were the enthusiastic believers in an
early adjustment of railroad matters
that the negotiations that were in progress have
failed. The official reduction by Commissioner
FINK OF the schedule rates West-bound freight Ia
from 10 cents to 40 cents for first class and from 40
cents to ID cents for fourth class which rates are nj
least 10 cents above the present actual rates for
first class and cents above those for fourth class
freight This order of Mr.. Fink was made
after consultation with representatives of
the Central and Hudson, the Erie and the
Boston and Albany Railways. As to the market
of the day, while there was no rush IN

Cotton Factories.

The Nashville American furnish
es the following interesting facts in
regard to cotton manufacturing in
Georgia. We hope they will slim
ulate such enterprises throughout
Tennessee. In regard to a cotton
factory enterprise in Augusta, Ga,
the American says:
1t happens that we have observed
the reports of several years of Ope-
rations uf the Augusta cotton fac
tory. 1t was founded before the
war, and purchased by its present
owners, or their assigns, of the city,
for one hundred and forty thousand
dollars on ten years time, with in
tereSt at seven per cent, the pur-
chaserS paying in sixty thousand as
commercial capital. The capital
was consumed i'm repairs, and in
1868 they report the entire property
paid for out of the earnings, and
100000 worth of new machinery
purchased, the capital increased to
5000, 900 by the addition of a pOr-
ton of the surplus, besides paying
dividends regularly, leaving prop
erty valued at 5000, 900 in 1868. The
financial panic, of course affected
the industry, but not seriously. In
1869 we find 3799, 326 pounds of cot
ton consumed, in 1871 little over
three millions, a million and a half
in 1874, 4,707 ,232 in 1878, 5,447 ,403
in 1879, which is the last report we
have.

why He SVVeared OFF,"

Senator Garland, of Arkansas,
one of the brainiest members of the.
United States Senate, in former
times was very fond of toddy and
good time with the boys now and
then. He is a tetotaler now, and
when rallied not long ago by some
of his fellow-senators on his abste-
miousness, gave the following cause
thereof: ''No, gentlemen, there's
nothing the matter with me, but
Tve stopped. You know we had a
pretty hot canvass in Arkansas last
summer, and l went all over the
state stumping. Well, saw the
graves of a good many good fell
lows who began with me, and who
are now in the dark valley or the
light one, whichever it may be. l
saw the wrecks of other men who
started with me to be jolly and
good fellows. The graves and the
wrecks set me thinking. From
thinking / began to calculate.
Well, on a rough calculation,
found that l had already drank
about a barrel ard half of whisky
more than L was entitled to. Then
| said to myself that if drank any
more l should be drinking some
other fellows whisky, and, as l
didn't want to do that, / stopped.
There you have the whole story"

Living Underline snow.

A young Bohemian couple living
near Glencoe met with a peculiar
experience during the last snow
storm. They were living in a lit
tie shanty under the hill, which
was covered in a drift, and the
husband dug his way out, and went
over to one of the neighbors. An
other storm coming up, he was I'M
able to find his way back, as moth
ing of the house could be seen. 1t
was three days before they could
find the house, which was finally
done by sounding with a pole.
They dug through the drift and
found the young wife as comfor-
table as could be expected for girl
Just married and her husband gone.
A somewhat similar experience is
related of an adventure of Gus ORA
house and Herman Kloke, of West
Point, during the same storm.
They were driving around in the
drifts just over the county line, and
their horses stepped-plumb into a
chimney. On proceeding to inves-
tigate they found a house under it
and family living in it as snug as
you please. They hadn't seen day
light for d week, but were making
the best of the situation.

A Vendetta.

Dumas romantic story of "The
COrsican Brothers" WIS suggested
by a genuine incident. Louis Blanc
and his brother closely resembled
each other in manner, person and
features, and they were, moreover,
connected by that mysterious feel
ing, which when they were sepera-
ted, made each sympathetically
conscious of what had happened to
the other. One day while the broth
erofLOuis was enjoying himself with
a party of friends he was observed
TO change color; he complained of
sensation as if he had received a
blow upon the head, and avowed
his firm conviction that something
must have befallen his brother then
in Paris. The company treated this
as a mere imaginary notion, but
some, more curious than the rest,
noted the day and hour to see how
far this warning was justified by the
actual event. And the result was,
that at the precise moment Louis,
while walking in the streets of Par
is, had been knocked down by a
blow on the head, dealt by some one
who approached him from behind.
He fell senselesS to the ground, and
the ruffian escaped n0r could all
the efforts of the police afford the
slightest clew for his detection. On
this incident the famous play was
founded.

..COuttsy, Old Girl"

"Couttsy, old girl, it's time to
light the fire." said Ashmead, gen.
tly touching the dowager with the
great toe of the LETT foot. She was
sleeping placidly, her lips pouting
and retreating with the gentle pull
sation of her precious heart. But
the touch aroused her after the
second prod, and, to be truthful, it
displeased her. 1t was a mistake
in Ashmead Bartlett to arouse the
sleeping-that is to say, somewhat
aged-maiden. For turning upon
her side and raising upon her ell
bow, while the frill of the nightcap
throbbed with the feeling it could
not express, she remarked in gen.

Edwin Booths First Appearance
on the StmRe.

William Winter, in HaTper's for June.
Edwin Booths first appearance
on the regular stage was made Sep.
10, 1919, at the Boston Museum, in
the little part of 1'ressil, in Cibber's
version of "Richard I'LL" Junius
Brutus Booth, his father-the rival
of Edmund Kean, and one of the
greatest tragedians that ever lived
was then keeping an engagement
AT the museum, and Edwin was in
attendance on him as dresser.
Tressil had been cast to the prompt
er of the theater, but it CHANGED
that this person wished to avoid
the duty of acting ii, and that he
succeeded In persuading Edwin to
undertake il. This arrangement
was made without the elder
Booths knowledge, and he only
became aware of it by reading in
the play-bill the announcement of
his sons first appearance, duly I'M
derlined. Stool J" was all me said
when he.Fead this announcement;

again holding out his leg; and this
was all the comment that Edwin
Booths first professional appear

whom he idOliZed. He learned
subsequently, though, that his IA
ther had been down at the wing,
and had watched this first effort
with evident interest and satisfac-
ton, and then FASTENED back to his
nOnchalant pose in the dressing
room. There never, surely, could
have been a more singular being
than Junius Brutus Booth. This
little trait of character is but one of
thousands that marked him as a
unique person.
