NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, November 1.-The bulls
In stocks recovered much of their lost
ground to-day. The announcement that
the New England had at last gained an
entrance into New York city was used
for all II was worth. and the strength of
the stock In the early trading rather
disconnected the bear leaders who made
such an effective raid on the market yes
terday. Nevertheless. the bears made
some impression on prices in the first
hour Of business. Burlington and Quincy

Lackawanna jumped 3 points. and this
checked the declining tendency OF the
market.
About this time advices from Washing

certainly dispose OF the silver-repeal mat

change added TO the bullsh feeling.

a Runaway Horse.

A runaway horse. maddened with terror,
and dragging the broken remnants of n
light vehicle after IT, was stopped on
Cary street near Foushee yesterday after
noon about O'Clock.
The animal ran up on the sidewalk and
in some manner caught the wheels OF the
vehicle IN a tree-box. which stopped it's
flight
The horse was badly scratched and cut
but not seriously hurt. No one knew TO
whom II belonged and 1t was taken to
the Third Police Station-hOuse A man
called for II later in the afternoon. lie
told the officers that II was owned by a
livery stable. and that at the time OF the
runaway II was being driven by Mr.
Louis Wendenburg. The animal was near
the suburbs Of the city when II took fright
and ran aWaV.

Broadly speaking, German schoolboys
never play. They have no time to do so.
They attend day schools forlorn Of play
grounds and are so desperately overweight
ed with lessons that all their spare energy
and vitality Is used up in the endeavor to
get through the work diurnally allotted to
them. They really have no opportunity
from the commencement of the school term
to its close for running or jumping, playing
at ball or marbles, paper chases, or any of
the other Gmu~cments to which English
schoolboys, as "A rule. devote themselves
with an eager assiduity seldom displayed
in the dry aud thorny pursuit OF knowledge.
When n German boy exhibits symptoms
of exhaustion and debility, caused by over
work, his parents enter him at gymnaStic
institution and compel him to attend one
or two evening courses Of Scientific calls
themes, very possibly at the expense of his
position in his class at school. "Turnerei, "
however, is not presented to him in the
light of play, but downright hard physical
work, which may be productive of develop
mcnt to his muscle and benefit 10 his general
health without atlording him any keen sense
OF recreation.-London Society.

grasses grow and are being harvested be
fore your eyes
Next comes group of handsome build
ings, those Of Nebraska, North Dakota,
Kansas and Texas on one side the avenue,
with Minnesota, Arkansas and Kentucky
ON the other At this part of the grounds
the states press so tlickly forward and
with such show Of riches and public spirit
it il no wonder the foreign visitors 20
away with new and broader conceptions Of
the yastness of America and the greatness
Of her people. Every one of these build
ings is n credit to its state, and worthy
rarclul inspection.
Another group demands attention. Here
are clustered Maryland, West Virginia,
Delaware, Florida and Louisiana. They
are all handsome buildings, and all are
thronged with visitors from morning till
night. Florida has unique structure in
reproduction Of old TT. Marion at st.
Augustine, and Wf"nn it wonderful dis
play of the fruits and other products of
the land OF flowers. Louisiana's old plan
tation house, with It's creole kitchen and
cafe, is visited by many thousands of peo-
pie. Utah has one Of the finest buildings
ON this avenue, ana is trying with all the
art of hospitality to convince the re-
lnNlhVVf ol the country OF us ellglDlIlty 10
statehood. Montana and Idaho have pic
turesque buildings, the latter being an i'm
mcnse log ranch. Virginia, just beyond,
presents a reproduction of a Mt Vernon
mansion, the home Of Washington. A
very good imitation it is and even the fur
niturc and interior decorations are much
like those to be seen on the banks of the
Potomac.
iowa occupies n post Of honor on the
lake front where She has a building which
captivatcs every one. In large hall is
shown IN amazing example of the decora-
tive uses OF cereals and grasses. The
walls and ceilings, the pillars and pan $
of the apartment are all treated with this
material, and with such ingenuity AM
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1893-06-08

most attention, probably, on account Ct
its interesting contents, is that Of France,
which occupies n commanding position on
the lake front. 1t is reproduction Of the
Hall of Hercules in the Palace of Yer
sailles, where Benjamin Franklin signed
the first treaty made by the United States
with another power. Many of the La
fayette relics loaned by that patriotic
family are here displayed. With an Ionic
pavilion the French have connected the
Hercules hall with twin structure some
sixty feet away, and within the court thus
formed they have placed statuary, flowers
and fountains The corridor running
from one building to the other contains
an exhibit which cannot be excelled in
popular interest. 1t is that of the City of
Paris and consists in part of large pic
lures of all the notable buildings, plazas
and boulevards in the French capital.
There is also a complete exposition of the
methods of government employed there
the police, the fire department, the hos
pitfalls, the great sewer system, the street
cleaning department, etc. Everything is
worked out in that manner precise yet
picturesque which is decidedly French.
Probably no other municipality in the
world spends SO much money for the COM
fort and health of the citizens, and men
