New YORK, July 22.-Ths stock marke. was
firm to strong again this morning, but still
intensely dull and devoid of interesting fea-

Il per cent further small fractional gains
were scored, all the leading railroad stocks
sharing in the improvement, the only weak

ment, which had the appearance OF
being caused by the covering Of shorts
alone. came practically to an end before the
close Of the hour, and the late dealings were
marked by utter stngnation in business as we'll

Evading the An,i-Cigarette Law.

Mrs. Charlotte Smith. who was active in Sc
curing the bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
to small boys has written letter TO the District
Commissioners, asking how the object Of the
bill can best be brought about.
She says, in her letter. that she recently OBJ
served a number OF boys of tender age engaged
in smoking the insidious cigarette. She called
the attention Of an officer to the scene. but was
informed that he could not arrest them for
smoking; the law simply forbade the selling to
children.
Upon inquiring of the boys she learned that
they had not bought the cigarettes. They
bought sticks of candy and the cigarettes were
thrown in. and Mrs. Smith wanted TO know if
something could not be done to break up such
q dangerous business.

told ME that the reason was that it was against
the law.
Il have noticed that you have given the
Washington and Georgeton Railroad Company
permission to use the parking to run their

scented to overlook the law in their case hone
you will find it possible to do the came in my

The Attempt to Kill Mr.. Blaine.

From the New York Sun.
Charles Jules Gui.cau went to work with no
more murderous purpose than animates the
men who seek n victim in the Secretary Of
State.
MIR. Blaine's present condition is no mystery
to those who know his mental idiosyncrasy He
is self-torturer in all that concerns his
physical health. This docs not mean that
he is coward. or even hypochon-
driac in the ordinary sense of the term.
But he belongs TO a class of beings. distinct
and well recognized. in which the pathologic
imagination is developed TO an uncomfort-
able and often dangerous degree. He is SEN
sltive in the extreme to what he believes to be
the dlSinterested opinion of others respecting
his physical condition. This Circumstance is
neither to his credit nor his discredit ii is
simply factor in Mr.. Blaine's individuality
Every physician knows that in the reaction
OF mental impressions and apprehensions upon
actual physical health, general intelligence, or
even exceptional Robustness of intellect liz no
barrier TO the mischief that may be wrought.
Often the danger is greatest where the intelli-
gence is most acute, and the imagination the
most active. There are cases and there are
times when an incautiously expressed opinion,
a mistaken diagnosis thoughtlcssly commune
Gated. may amount to q sentence of death.
