My DEAR GIBLs:-I want you at Oak

Why, I wouldn't miss it for the round

Shall we?" laughs Dell you for

Dell yawns lazily, but a little flash

IT Is Il GREAT SCHEME.

A number of young man of Balti-
more, Md, have organized club, the
object of which is to protect its mem
bers from unfortunate marriages. 1t is
+ not by any means a cooperative organi-
cation for the prosecution of divorce
cases. 1t aims, as Sir Boyle Roche
would say, to smell the rat and nip him
in the bud. When any member of this
club feels that he is falling in love, a
meeting is called, and the victim, or
culprit, then and there makes CON
fession. The symptoms are analysed
and discussed, and if the members of
the inquisition decide that they have
really to deal with a case of love, they
resolve themselves into a committee of
the whole, whose duty it is to examine
the young lady from every possible as
pect, moral, mental and physical. At a
subsequent meeting the members all re-
port as to the young lady's eligibility
as suitable wife for the young man in
question. A vote is taken. If the de
cision is unfavorable, he is sworn to
relinquish then and forever his matri
monial designs in that direction; if
favorable, he proceeds, with the clubs
wind in his sails. Who shall say that
this is not a benefcent body? No
young man in love has any common
sense. The club respects his tender
FEELINGS and adds wisdom thereto

Financial and Railroad Tips.

There is really no other live issue in specu- lation than the money issue. Individual se- curites are affected by causes appertaining specifically to them, but there is no move ment in any stock or class of stocks sufti- ciently pronounced to impart a fixed ten dency to prices. Trust securities are recover ing somewhat of their recent heavy decline, because the bears have ceased to manipulate has spent itself, and because there is evidence of purpose to incorporate at least one of the trusts-cottonseeu oil-and withdraw the veil of mystery which has surrounded it.
 The bond market has been good deal shaken up by the Atchison reorganization plan, which, regardless of it's merits, has thrown doubt upon the safety of all railway investments,
 The majority opinion is that the plan will be adopted by enough bondholders for it to holders who are not satisfied with the plan, in Boston as we'll as in London. Some of the dissatisfied holders will deposit their bonds, some will sell them, and some declare purpose to retain them and take the chance of receiving full interest. The plan could be modified so as to satisfy some of the dis senters by other means, and by giving income bondholders, if not, also, first mort gage bondholders, voting power for series of years. Such power would be a protection to the bondholders, if not likewise to the shareholders. The scaling of fixed charges is a direct bid to some great speculator or spec ulators to buy control of the property. 1t is temptation for some railroad like the Mis-. souri Pacific or the Chicago & Alton to se- cure control as an addition to their systems. There are $75, 5,00O,000 Atchison capital stock worth at $50 per share $22, ,000. At $30 control would cost less than $11 ,500,0 GOO.
 The Fitchburg railroad directors have again adopted the conservative course and passed the dividend, making the first full year with. out. any payment upon the stock. The net for fha iS S3lO, ,OO0 to $315, ,OO0, but it has been expend- ed upon the property, and will be credited in the accounts to surplus, making that item about $GO0,000.

BEATING HIS WAY.
A Hunchback's Rough Trip from Boston
 to the Pacific Ocean.


 A little over three months ago Alfred Sem ter of Somerville, Mass, and l.. B. Griffin of Lowell, Mass, wagered $500, Senter to win the money if he succeeded in beating his way in first-class coaches from Boston to San Francisco and back. and lose if he paid fare while en route. Edward F. Locke, the referee, was to accompany Senter, and his expenses were to be borne by the loser. Sen- ter and Locke arrived in Kansas City few days ago OH their way back. Senter is a hunchback and appears to be about 30 years of age. eve started out,'' he said, Con the evening of July 7th on the Boston < Albany railroad, and got to Albany without being put off. My troubles began on the New York Central railroad. I was put of three times the first day, and of course Locke had to go with mo. Owing to my de- formity was not treated harshly. Between Buffalo and Chicago, on the Michigan Southern, concocted tale of rob- bery, and on promise to pay at Detroit was not molested. In order to deceive the officials I sent bogus telegram to Chicago for money. Altogether have been busted from trains 1SO times. On the Southern roads to Cali fornia was allowed to ride long distances. At one time had to plead with an old lady with tears in my eyes not to pay my fare, as that would spoil my chances of winning the bet. have had several offers to have my fare paid, but Locke's eye was on me, and that settled it. have had rough experi- ence, and would not undertake to do 1t again for twice the money wagered."

 Two thousand coal miners at Charleroi have gone on strike.
 On the Sultan's return journey to Fez, 20 members of his guard were drowned while crossing river near Laraiche. A large number of socialist publications l were seized just as they were being brought across the frontier into Russia. Two arrests were made in connection with the seizure. The Hngarian cabinet will not resign on account of their differences with the Aus i trian cabinet, upon the question of the recog- | milton of the Hungarian army apart from the | Austrian forces, as their is every prospect | that Emperor Francis Joseph will assent to the demand of Hungary and change the title 'Imperial Royal Army" to Imperial and Royal Army"
 Excitement hrs been caused in Hamburg | by the discovery of murder similar in it's | details to those perpetrated in Whitechapel, London. The work of mutilation has been | done by the hand of an expert, who, if not Jack the Ripper, initiated him closely. The Swiss budget was presented to the national council last week. It shows deficit | of 4, 300, 900 francs.

 The bodies recovered from the Bentilee colliery show that the victims died from gas poisoning. The rescuers were compelled | to relnquish their search by the accumula- | tion of gas.

The Radical leaders of France, finding the Moderates averse to conceding a single de- mand of the Radical programme, have de- | cided to remain separate party. The | hostile attitude of the Moderates ensures a reapproachment with a portion of the | Right.
