Best Days Trnding for Many Moons

Yesterday was a redletter day at the Stock
Exchange The proceedings were in the nature
of revival meeting. Captain Barbour was
happy. The brokers were pretty well loaded
up with orders, and they didn't allow flies to
settle on them. Bidding was lively, and sales
were so disproportionate to the usual run as to
render the word immense" not out of place as
a descriptive epithet. The transactions footed
up $50 shares, of which La Noria contributed
g75.
Central Traction was lively feature. 1t

The Chicago Anarchists Will be Allowed
to PeaccabIy Celebrate.
CHICAGO, September 26.-In response to
question as to whether the Anarchists of
the city will be allowed to parade on No
vember IL, the anniversary of the execution
of the five Haymarket leaders, Superintend-
ent Hubbard said to-day: "That all de-
pends upon how they propose to parade. IF
, they want to carry red flags and Transparent
cies, with notices rejecting upon law and
order, the permit will not be granted. If
they act like gentlemen, there is no reason
why they should not have professions just
as any other class of men might. So long
as they are orderly there will be no inter-
ference with them"
"And as to public meetine?"
Public meetings in halls do not require
permits. Public outdoor meetings will not
be allowed. There will be no interference
with the meetings unless they become riot
Gus on disorderly. However, there will be
plenty of police protection in case there is
any difficulty. In general, there will be no
interference, so long as the Reds behave
themselves"

THE LADIES TAKE A HAND.
They Propose TO Make il Very Warm for the
Chicago Gamblers

ChicaEo Gamblers.
CHICAGO, September pa number of
prominent ladies Of this city have formed an
association and have hired LAWYER to pros-
ecute the gamblers of the city under the
State law. The work was begun to-day
with the arrest of John Morris, the proprie-
tor of gambling house on Clark street.
The attorney for the ladies says that there is
every reason to believe that the gamblers
will very soon become frightened. The
State law against gambling is very severe.
1t provides that person convicted the first
time of the ofense of running a gambling
house or renting property to be occupied by
q gambling house shall be fined S1OO. and
that on second conviction the fine shall not
be less than $500 and the additional penalty
of six months in the county Jail. and on the
third conviction that the penalty shall be
$500 fine and one year in the penitentiary.
The ladies, whose names, except that of
Mrs. Van Ardet, are not made public, in
tend to push the cases to the full extent of
the law. They are taking steps to convict.
not only the gamblers themselves, but also
the men who own the buildings VIII ere gam
bling houses are conducted.

ton of our Quotations will disclose. The ad-
vance in creamery butter has been fully sus-
tanned by events. A leading jobber Of cheese

OIL GAINS A LITTLE.
II Opens Steady nud Closes at Nearly the
Best Figures.

Best Figures.
The oil market was steady at the opening yes.
terday, but without significant features. The
first sale was at 99S from which the price ad-
vanced to 99ssc declined to 9sSc, rallied and
closed firm at 99Ac, almost the best figure of
the day. McKelvey was the principal buyer
here. New York and Oil City were light SELL
ers. There was no outside interest, trading be-
ing entirely professional The principal bear
ish influence was the Jefferson Center well
about due.
While almost everybody is bullish, one of the
principal obstacles in the way of a revival of
business Is lack of leader to set the pace and
excite enthusiasm. But in the present condl-
tion of the market, and in the face of famine
of certificates, operators are afraid TO go long
or short, and the result is that both Sides look
ing to safety, are compelled to go slow and
take things as they come. There is very
small opening for q ''plunger." y

On his last birthday, month or two
ago. youngster in knickerbockers
who lives in the East End received
from his father q silver watch. the
price Of which. it is safe to say, did
not exceed fifteen dollars. 1t will not
surprise you to hear that the boy took
the watch TO pieces after it had burned
in his pocket but three days. When
every wheel lay In his hand the boy
naturally fell to thinking how he might
put the watch in running order again.
He must be something Of mechanical
genius, for he succeeded in getting the
dismembered works inside the case In
some sort of shape. 1t is hardly re-
tlcction on the boys skill. either, tina.
after the mechanism was put together
it failed to respond to the winding
stem. But the boy persevered. He
detected the root OF the trouble in the
balance-wheel, which seemed to inter.
fere with other parts of the setting.
So at the balance-wheel he tinkered,
until, to his unfeigned astonishment.
after he had lacked up tho wheel with
q bandage OF cotton thread, the watch
began to tick again. pittsburgh Dis.
