For several reasons. The opening of the new
Electrical Railway at Liverpool on Saturday
by Lord Salisbury attracted more attention
than any event of the, week outside the
walls Of Parliament. The national bias in
favour of mechanical skill was grained by
the acknowledgment that a late Prime Minis.
ter. whom no one ever accused Of treating
politics as a ~rastime, had yet found time to
treat electrical science so seriously as to quail

invention. The enterprise itself is, if not new.
a novelty in England on the scale in which it
ia now presented. The question of locomo.

vital to the working men. who grudgs the
drain on their limo and pockets made 10y even
the least expensive and quickest systems now
in use; and, lastly, there is q widespread feel.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The strength OF
Louisville and Nashville on the stock
exchange to-day was ascribed to foreign
buying. London and tho continent ap-
peared to be more favorably impressed
with the acquisition of the Chesapeake.
Ohio and Southwestern by the Louis
Vile and Nashville in connection with
the Illinois Central than it was yester-
day. Lackawanna moved up on the
execution of buying orders for m oderate
amounts. Since the Vanderbilts be-
came interested in tho road the stock
responds quickly to purchases. The
firmness OF the general list was short
lived, however, for soon after the open.
ing the bears resumed their tactics
against the high priced Grapgers.
Rock Island Is also favorite with the
shorts just at present and to-day sold
down az per cent. The argument ad-
vanced by the sellers of the Grapgers
Is that the roads are also into period
of loan earnings. The st. Paul, how
ever, reported its earnings for the fourth
week of October to day and showed
gain OF $4,000 over the corresponding
period Of 1892 when the receipts were
considered phenomenal. Still the bears
have the whiphand for the moment and
they are gradually shaking out long
stock held by spectators who were
sure that the passage of the silver
repeal bill would start up a boom ut the
stock exchange. After midday some of
the smaller traders accepted profits on
the short side and rally OF u to Is per

1t was noticeable that when prices
improved the market became dull, and
shortly before o'clock. when this pur.
chasing power was exhausted, drive

1t Was All Love.

A writer for the Boston Transcript
was the witness the other day Of very
pretty scene on street car. There was
an old negro woman-a very black old
woman-whose face, besides being black,
was pockmarked. No doubt superb
cial observer would have called her re-
pulsive, but there was sweet and kind
ly look in her eyes and benevolent ex-
preston about her black features which.
as you looked at her, gave you glimpse
of something beautiful
At her side, with his sweet child face
toward the window, knelt little white
BOYD handsomely dressed little chap
with blond curls and blue eyes. He
asked the old black woman questions
now and then, which she answered with
deep, grave, kind voice, and she called
the little fellow honey"
Presently this little Caucasian leaned
over tenderly toward the old woman,
put his arm lovingly around her neck
and laid his pink and white cheek against
her black face That obliterated every
bit of responsiveness the woman might
have had with every person of sentiment
in that car. To this little boy the old
black face was entirely beautiful, be.
cause it was all love. The beauty that
he saw was n good deal more than skin
