THE GRAND ARMY,
An Order for Which There Arc No
Recruits.


The Now England Magazine for
August, 1890, contains the following
by Geo. S. Merrill: "The Grand Army
Of the Republic is a unique organiza-
! ton. In the words Of Past Com
mander- in Chief: NO child can DO
born into it; no proclamation OF Pros
ident, edict OF King, or ukase OF Gear
can command admissions; no univer-
slty nor institution Of learning can
ISSUE diploma authorizing its holder
to entrance; no Act Of Congress or
Parliament secures recognition; tho
wealth OF IL Vanderbilt cannot pur-
chase the position; its doors swing
open only upon tho presentation OF
tho bit Of paper-torn, worn, begrimed
it may be-which certilios to an hon
orablo discharge from the armies or
navic' Of the Nation during tho war
against rebellion
And, unlike any other association, no
new blood can come in; there arc no
growing ranks from which recruits can
DO drawn into tho Grand Army of tho
Republic. With the contamination
of peace through victory, its rolls
were closed forever. It's lines arc
steadily and swiftly growing thinner,

day by day details are made from tho

shall muster out the last comrade of
tho Grand Army of the Republic"

The TroubIeOn the Pittsburg Traction
Companys Line.
Mr.. KURTz INTERVIEWED.

The alLabsorbing topic in street railway
circles at the present time is the strike Of
the gripmen on the Pittsburg Traction Com
pany's line. Both sides are equally conf
dent Of success. So far the Citizens line has
not been involved in the trouble While
riding on car of the Butler street branch
Of the latter road the writer had the follow.
ing conversation with Mr.. Harry Kurtz, Of
S415 Charlotte street, who was in charge Of
the car at the time:
"Two years ago caught q cold. paid
no particular attention to it, and it soon be-
came worse. Ny head was stopped up. Ny
nose would become elogged, first on one side
and then on the other. There was a constant
dull, heavy pain in my forehead. Ny eyes
were infamed, and at times so weak that
could not see to read. There were ringing
and buzzing noises in my ears, and after q
short while became quite deaf.
"I tried several physicians, but could OBJ
tain no relief Indeed, I grew worse rapid
~. The trouble extsBdsd to my chest and
throat. Sharp pains, stabcing like knife,
would shoot through my chest, extending
often as far as the shoulder-blades- My
throat and the root o. my tongue were very
sore, and IL was extremely difficult for me
to swallow any solid food.
''GraduaIly my whole system became az
fected. I could not sleep at nights, and
would arise in the morning tired and unfit
for work. had dry, hacking cough that
annoyed me terribly.

WALL STREET GOSSIP.
Singular Situation Of Lower Prices on a
Good Bank Statement.


Good Bank Statement.
New York Special to John M. Oakley & Col
NEW YORK, January 1L-If . good bank
statement is going to bull stocks We ought to
have bull market now; indeed, those who are
on the scene of action and got the statement at
a quarter of u ought to have taken advantage
of their early information and bought stocks,
but they didn't. 1t showed a gain Of Eve and
a-half millions in actual cash, or million and
a-quarter more than the gain In the reserve on
account OF gain Of dve millions in deposits,
which increased the reserve requirements.
The market was lower after these figures
came out than before which is, we fear, sad
sign of indifference to the market. This chill
ing indifference Is one of the worst features Of
what by courtesy may be called the speculative
situation. New England and Chicago Gas
were little higher this morning. while Wis
cOnsin Central was slightly weaker and Sugar
Trust considerably lower. Reading holds up
tenaciousiy the argument being that the stock
is better OF than it would be II interest had
been paid on the first preferences. That is
true il it is meant that 1t Il better for the stock
than IL the money to pay unearned interest had
been borrowed.
If the interest has not been earned. and Mr..
Corbin says it has not then it is hard TO extract
bull argument out Of the fact. for II they
can't earn anything on the first or second or
third preference bonds the prospect OF q dIvi-
dend on Reading stock is very remote. To-day
the stock was only four points lower than the
third incomes. 1t appears to be short inter
est on one side and q concentration Of bull
holdings on the other that supports the stock,
time may be possible, but we do not see how
lower prices in the end can beaverted.
Petroleum was lower and speculation In IL -
too discouraging to merit attention.

New York Tribune.i
Volumes might be written about the neat
handed Phyllis of the country hotel. who
serves blackberries with soup, mixes relieves
and entremets de douceur, and garnishes
the edge of pudding plates with indigestlble
and oleaginous hunks of tawny cheese.
But, after all, she is only acting under Or
ders. There is no guile in her rustic inno-
cence. She no more deserves blame than
the hallboy who answers every midnight
call with a pitcher of freezing drinking
water and places writing materials on a
crazy-legged, marble-top table, whose glacial
surface sends a cold chill down the spinal
column every time the hand touches it.
The real criminals are the miscreants who
establish hotels with a single eye to the
almighty dollar, to whom the human
stomach is of greater durability than a
copper-lined retort, and who aid, abet and
otherwise encourage unthinking emulation
of that Questionable fowl the cormorant.

thence equals that of the cook-ridden, clerk
