soberly down Queens Gate, London.
They were of course being exercised in
view of the ceremony at the Imperial in

other work than the cannibalistic one of
eating their heads off," they are in
clined to wax fat and kick. The fore legs
OF these wonderful steeds are tethered in

a Quarrel between kinrs.

According to a foreign correspondent
Emperor William almost quarrcled with
King Humbert because the latter would
not call out the Italian troops at mid
night with view to ascertaining their
discipline. The emperor insisted, the
king protested, and it was not until
Queen Marguerite explained that such Il
proceeding would arouse the city and
alarm the pope-the bersaglieri being
quartered under the walls of the Vati-
can-that the kaiser renowned his pur-
pose and went to bed in very i'll humor.

a Word About tho nusset Shoes.

y fashion writer in morning con-
temporary asks:
what is the attraction which brown
leather boots seem 10 possess for both
men and women, young and old? This
year they have made their appearance
not only considerably earlier than usual,
but also i'll larger numbers than ever be-
fore. Some declare that they are more
comfortable, but experience hardly bears
out that impression. a brown boot can
never be so pliable and so easy as one of
black leather, moreover, the brown boot
is distinctly less becoming than the
black"
The writer of this must have had
singular experience with brown leather.
The russell shoes arc worn by most peo-
pie because they are softer and more
pliable, and above all because the pores
Of the leather arc not tightly closed as
they are in patent leather, and in all
black leather that is subjected to polish
backing. The difference in comfort in
hot weather between Il ventilating russell
shoe and impervious patent leather is
quickly obvious when q change is made
from one to the other. The summer dress
of Americans has tended to comfort in
all respects during the last few years,
and no two innovations have added more
to mitigation of hot weather discom-
fort than the brown shoe and the I'M
starchcd fine cotton shirts for gentlemen.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE,
Now York Stock Market

New York. July 24-The day
opened at the stock exchange with
regular rush to sell and prices declined
anywhere from u to az per cent. The
fact that quotations in London were
above New York parity OF Saturda avs
closing, had no effect because the for.
y eign orders were mainly to sell 1t was
evident that the bears were determined
to make the most of the banking and
commercial failures both at home and
4 abroad. In many instances the figures
touched were the lowest for years past.
There were sharp rallies on purchases
J, to cover snort contracts, and around de-
r livery hour number of stocks had not
only recovered decline but were Is to 2
per cent. above Saturdays closing. AID.
4 vices from the West and from Milwaukee
that affairs in financial circles had
quieted down, had the effect of stimu-
1sting purchases. Just previous to the
Il close, however9 the bears made another
dash against the list and prices yielded
quickly under pressure.
Inc heaviness Of Atchison was a con-
3 spicuous feature throughout the after
i noon. This stock sold at the lowest
price touched since the reorganization
"a OF the property some years ago. Mis-,
7'souri Pacific. Rhode Island, and Bur.
nngton and Quincy were quoted lower
than for years past. About the only
encouraging feature was the buying for
4 both small and large investors, who pay
IN full for their purchases. The move.
ment. however, up to the present has
been insufficient to Offset the aggressive
policy OF the bear party. The transac-
lions aggregated $4,000 shares, of
which $4,000 were unlisted. Specula.
