EVENTS OF THE WEEK IN LOCAL
SPECULATIVE CIRCLES.

Business Moderate and Prices Manifest .
Retiring Disposition-Price Changes
Fairly Distributed Between Gains and
Losses-Weakness Due to Lack OF Usual
Support
The week in local speculative circles was
more notable for slumpinesS than business.
Sellers took and held the floor: but, al
though apparently willing enough, they
were unable to market any great amount of
goods. Buyers were as watchful as their op-
ponents.
Although support was inefficient and the
general tone weak, there were about as
many gains for the week as losses. Birming-
ham Traction, under a hot fire of adverse
criticism, led the downward movement un-
til yesterday, when it apparently touched
bottom and anchored. There was not much
change in the rest of the street railways
Citizens and Manchester braced up little
for the day. but Duquesne fell of a trife.
Changes for the week In the listed special
ties are: Pipeage gained I Old Electric

HOLIDAY STAGNATION
MARKS THE DEALINGS ON THE NEW
YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

A Show Of Life in Reading, Rock Island
and Atchison-The New Lead Shares
Placed on tho Market-Colorado Coal
Makes a Marked Advance.
NEW York, May 2s.-The stock market to-
day was an extremely limited affair, pre-
se2ting holiday appearance throughout
the session, and while there was for the size
of the market an urgent demand for the
shorts, the movements were insignificant in
most of the active shares even though a
strong temper marked the trading from
opening to close. Some pretense to anima-
tion was seen IN Reading, Rock Island and
Atchison, eked out by special movements in
Hooking Valley and the new Lead shares,
VIII ich scored material advances. being
affected by special causes The general list,
however, remained without feature other
than hrmness.
Colorado Coal Ia the only stock of the list
which showed q marked advance for the
day. The upward movement was kept
and the close was fairly active and strong at
the highest points. Colorado Coal showing
gain OF "a per cent. and the others small ~ al,

Nothing eyentful transpired. With tho

the trade were bearish, the field making

Added to these was the windup of the

Mans Duty to Man.

The father may think to hide certain
parts of his character from his child, not
wishing him to initiate them, and may
give him precepts that he has never fol-
lowed, but the child absorbs what he
fancies is concealed and forgets the
words which contradict it. Commands
and exhortations may produce or re-
strain certain acts, but they are power
less to inspire emotions or create desires.
Often they have reverse effect.
To give every one his due, to refrain
from taking unfair advantange, or in
any way enriching ones self at the ex-
pense of another, are supposed to be du-
ties which are simply to be inculcated
and obeyed, yet how is the desire of
gain, SO intense in many minds, to be
made to yield when it conflicts with
these duties? Chiefly by crediting with
in the breast a stronger desire for justice
and integrity. The love of rectitude,
the faith i'll honor, the desire to deal
fairly and squarely with all men, must
be aroused and strengthened before any
one can be thoroughly and truly just
And the same is true with regard tc
every good quality. y.-Philadelphia Led.

wanted to See the soldiers.

A wealthy New York lady who has
travelled much abroad, but who knows
very little about her own country, was
in Washington few days ago for the
first time. She was taken to the White
House by an influential friend, and
through his intercession the private
apartments of the house were opened up
to her, and she had an exceptional op-
portunity to inspect the numerous beau
ties of the digniied but modest mansion
AS she was being helped into her car
riage on departing, a shade of disap-
pointment was detected IN her face.
''Well, what do you think of it?'' her
friend inquired.
'tI must confess to very keen disap-
pointment, was the reply. The rooms
are all very prettily decorated, and some
of them are dignihed and impressive,
but l ann sorry not to have seen the
military"
1t appeared on further inquiry that
this un-Americanized New Yorker had
fully expected to find the presidents
mansion surrounded by a military guard
in full uniform, and she was vehement
in her assertions that the German way
was 'tever SO much better than ours''-

The Dear Tnnocents.

Some Detroit ladies, not more than a
thousand miles from barrel of salt in
front of Woodward avenue grocery
store, recently organized a debating club
for the development and benefit of the
rights of women. It was their first ex-
perience, the dear things, so they ap-
pointed a committee to &C down town
and get the needed stationery, etc. When
the polite and affable clerk had about
finished selecting the articles they had
put down in a memorandum book, he
inquired of the spokeswoman of the
party:
''You will want .Cushing's Manual

''No, sir,' she said, with severity,

line it will be a womanual, sir. How
much do we owe you?'-Detroit Free

Painting Lace.

Has the lace trimming of the dressing
table assumed questionable tinge? If
washed, it will still have the "done
over" look. Rip it off, thoroughly shape
and brush, then press it little to fat
ten. Now stretch it firmly upon board
or table, with several thicknesses of
newspaper beneath it. Use a half inch
wide bristle brush and put ON paint
made from dye freely. The paper will
absorb the extra moisture. If dyed all
one even tint it is very quick work.
When the lace is nearly dry, press it
with hot iron over a padded board, as
though it were embroidery.
Any of the thin laces, especially Valen-
ciennes, can be painted in several dainty
tints, thus bringing out the pattern eff
fectively and in very novel manner,
care being used in selecting harmonious
colors. The small tasseled fringe which
comes in cotton for edging curtains and
draperies can be treated in the same
manner with the dyes. Any cotton OF
silk goods take and retain them easily,
and they will not overrun the outlines
of the design. But on linen they are a
little apt to ''spread. Mrs. M. R. Ram

Rowed Forty miles for Amusement.

Willis Holly, Mayor Grants secretary,
used to amuse himself by rowing around
Staten Island whenever he got holiday
from his arduous newspaper work few
years ago. He did not row very fast,
but he always made a complete circuit
of the island. | think the distance is
about forty miles; at any rate, know
that Mr.. Holly had to rise before day
light in order to get home with the COWS
in the evening. 1t is feat that he used
to speak of with proud, beaming eye,
and never wondered at it. must say,
however, that in the course of seven or
eight years consideration of the subject,
have never been able to understand
exactly why man should care to row
around Staten Island. Blakely Hall in

Strange Oversight.

1t is dangerous as well as wicked to do
wrong in the presence of children. An
observant little boy was in a street car
the other day, and followed every move
ment of the conductor with the greatest
interest.
A very stout woman boarded the car
and sat down next to the small boy. She
took ticket out of her purse, but when
the conductor came along he somehow
failed to notice her. He passed and re-
passed her several times, and finally,
with nervous glance around, she re-
placed the ticket in her purse.
This was too much for the small boy,
who had all the while kept his eye on
her, and the next time the conductor
came along he exclaimed:
"You didn't get her money, mister.
don't see how you missed her. She's the
fattest lady in the car. Anybody could
see her."
This complimentary allusion to the
woman's weight caused blush to play
over her broad face, and she quickly
produced ticket, while all the other
passengers sniled.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

November in American Hi,torv

A most notable November in our his
tory was that one in 1866, the first day
of which was observed throughout the
thirteen colonies as a period of mourn
ing, on account of the going into
effect of the hated stamp act. 1t in
creased the burden of taxation upon
those who had no voice in their own gov
ernment and aroused them to such a
sense of injustice that ten years later they
rebelled and the war of the Revolution
was begun. On the first day of Novem-
ber, therefore, the church bells were sol
emnly tolled, flags hoated at half mast
and business was everywhere sus-
pended. All over the land such men as
Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, James
Otis and John Adams addressed patriotic
speeches to throngs of their country
men and fred their hearts with thoughts
of glorious ndependence.-K Nun

JIM AND JOE.

Yes, there was Jim, and sure's you're born
There never was a better fellow:
When things went wrong he didn't growl
Nor curse his luck, nor groan, nor below:
But-racking long the same old way
He'd light his pipe and go to smokin,
Till things came round all right again.
With Jim still laughin and a-jokin.
Then there was Joe; with him, you see,
Nothin was ever goin squarely.
He'd swear the world was near its end
cause some one hadn't traded fairly;
Good men were just about played out,
The DEVILS reign was drawing nearer;
Somehow-just why he could not tell
The world was CROWN queer and queerer.
We'll. as it happened, Jim was poor,
And, as it happened, Joe was wealthy;
Jim. he was rather small and weak
Joe was a giant, strong and healthy;
Yet when it came to sheer content,
And light'nin some one else's trouble
BY smilin DER his own, why Jim
Could just beat Joseph more than double.

The First Iron Shin.

The first iron ship has more reputed
birthplaces than Homer. Both the Clyde
and the Mersey claim pre-eminence in
this respect. Sir E. J. Robson, of Edin-
burgh, designed an iron vessel in 1916,
which was not launched till three years
later; and it is said that an iron boat
was worked on the Severn even as far
back as 1887. Steel was not used in the
construction of merchant ships hulls
until 1859. Old salts were not alone in
their belief that wood was meant by
Providence to float, but iron to go to the
bottom. A naval constructor of some
repute once said, 'sDon't talk to me of
iron ships; they are contrary to nature. ;"
Now none but small craft are built of
wood in this country. Jour

A busy woman doctor in Brooklyn,
whose practice is SO extensive that it
keeps her driving over the city's i'll paved
streets for many hours every day, has
had made for her brougham which
combines about as many comforts as is
possible to pack into so confined space.
To begin with, under the seat is a capa-
cious drawer, divided into compartments.
to hold those surgical instruments which
doctor must carry
In the same drawer is found room for
two or three small handbags containing
an assortment of medicines. There is
also space for small portable electric
battery in its polished wood case These
are all hidden away, however, when the
drawer is shut, and so do not mar by
their painful suggestiveness the snugly
comfortable appearance of the rest of the
interior.
There is nothing out of the way about
this, of course. The novel features are
all in the front of the brougham facing
the occupant. The most striking" is a
pretty clock, by which the doctor times

.Products of. Mexico.

Although the soil of Mexico and its
tropical location are both favorable to
agriculture, the lack of energy of its
working population, combined with the
lack of a sufficient water supply, neu-
tralizes its geographical location, and
the production of corn, beans, coffee,
sugar and other. kinds of products are
barely sufficient to supply the home de-
mand.-New York Times
