Refreshments.

The last act on the programme was not
by any means the least enjoyable aud was
participated in by the whole audience.
They Stole Pretzels.
On Thursday night some boys, presuma'
bly, glass house boys, got hungry and made
sdescent upon the house of Joseph Ritter, a
pretzel baker who resides at 1873 Fourteenth
street. The boys gained access by q back
window and scooped in lot Of the German
cakes, but when they went to divide them
up dispute arose, which awakened Ritter,
and he saw them portiCning out the eata'
bles. Thinking that they would return he
hid in the coal house, and presently one OF
the boys did return after more pretzels, but
lust as he was entering the window Ritter
caught him and gave him such good
spanking that he will probably remember 1t
Tor some time.

81. Paul has occupied the centre Of interest
IN the stock Exchange to-day. The action of
the rectOra yesterday afternoon postpOnng
the declaration Of dividend until to-day
was varioUslY construed on the street, but
stimulating orders in the eArly dealings re-
suited in an advance IN the price of the stock
from IS, al which it opened, 80 1875, which it
reached little before O'Clock. The advance
was slow and with only slight reactions, thus
exhibiting very decided strength. Various
stories were ahoat regarding the dividend,
which was afterw ards known to be 21a per
cent. on the stock. The announcement that
this " as the dividend declared was followed
by another that the directors had authorized
the issue of S5,00n,000 additional preferred
stock, which was 10 be offered to stockholders
OF record at par. but this announcement WAS
so slow IN assuming tangible form that II was
not until after the close of the board that the
street was fully informed in regard TO the
matter After tho first announcement of the
dividend there WAS a rapid decline in the
price of the stock from 1913 TO 7S1a, at which
point supporting orders in apparently un-
limited quantity made their appearance, but
the stock broke just before the close, so that
the net gain from yesterd was only Ia per
cent. Lake Shore closed u per cent. lower,
and, with 81. Paul, contributed so per cent.
OF the days business. Union Pacific was the
only other actlve stock, and closed l5s per
cent. lower. The rest Of the list WAS very
dull and unlnteresting. except the strength
de- eloped in Pacific Mail, which gained per
cent. Other changes are for small fractions.
The following are the closing quotations.
