Teach Children to Swim.

In view of the many and narrowing
deaths by drowning that are always
among the distressing incidents of the
summer season, it would seem as though
parents would consider it far more nee
essary TO have their children taught to
swim than to spend so much care and
trouble on accomplishments that are of

foreign nor local operators thought the
 news of sufficient importance to branch
 out on the short side. As matter of
 fact the Street has about come to the
 conclusion that the labor troubles so
 far as the stock market Is concerned
 have about run their course. The re-
 ports of the strike on the St, Paul road
 not being confirmed the shorts began
 to cover. and the fractional loss noted
 was recovered.
 | After the morning hour the railway
 list was quiet and firm throughout. the
 denial of the St. Paul strike and the im- proved condition of the western railway
 situation exerting good effect. The
 feature of the day was the activity in
 American Sugar. of which 5500O shares
 changed hands. The stock declined to 97. rallied to 9s% and receded to STA.
 The early decline was due to the decis-
 lon Of Judge Barker of the Massashu-
 setts supreme court in the suit brought
 against the company for not filing It's
 annual report with the state authori- ties. Chicago Gas after declining to
 73S, rallied to 74%@%. Lead. Cordage
 and General Electric were in better re- quest. The last named advanced to 37h,
 the best price for some time past. In the final dealings American Sugar developed renewed weakness, but the
 general list held tolerably firm. The passing of the Louisville and Nashville dividend. the failure of L. D. Alexander & Co.,. members of the New York Stock Exchange. and rumors of heavy gold
 shipments by the French steamer late fin the week had no effect. In the inac- tive stocks Pullman ruled firm at 15s@ 159. Louisville. New Albany and Chica- go preferred rose 2A to p, Denver and
 Rio Grande preferred 1lA to 27. and United States Leather preferred 1h to I55.

Parents Would Not Come After Them and They Are Turned Adrift.
 The three thirteen-year-old runaways from Salem. Mass, Willie Murphy, Johnnie Kelly and Jack Frazella, who were apprehended in this city Wednes- day by Patrolman McKeon and locked up at police headquartesss were yester- day turned adriftt by the police and given the freedom. of the oity.. After their arrest Wednesday afternoon Ser geant Cook telegraphed to their par ents. asking what should be done with the boys. Yesterday morning Captain Wrinn received an answer from the boys parents to the effect that they could not afford to aome after them and as there were no charges against the boys, the police were obliged to dis charge them. NY "-I "ssa r RNH
 Prior toS turning tileIn loose upon the streets Captain Wrinn and Signal Officer Began visited the town agent 8 office with a view tp. .haying the town authorities send the boys home. When Captain Wrinn explained his business he was told that the tpym. could do nothing to help the boys home, as they were not town charges, Captain Wrinn then went ito, the Organized Charities, but Acting Superintendent Carpenter informed him that he could do nothing for the boys and as their parents evidently showed, mo interest in them, it would be manifestIy unjust to the charity funds to sxpend any of 1t in caring for the boys. ,- ts.,
 Finally after all the resources had failed the captain decided that, the only thing he could do was to turn them adrift and let them shift for themselves. Accordingly about 1 o'clock. he and Sig nal Officer Began pooled their issues and bought a dinner efor tha by this time, thoroughly hungry travellers. After the boys had filled themselves with chicken. roast beef, etc., the cap- tain.-teld them they couId go and the boys went apparently -ase happy and contented as could bs. They expressed determination 10 walk back to Salem If they couldn't get there tn any other way, and when last sen were making rapid strides in the direction of Fair Haven. .., :,
 The telegram from the boys' parents stated that they could not afford to come to this oity after their runaway children. and as the boys had runaway their parents had decided to let them shift for themselves and sse whether they fared any. better. -s 2. :. fs4 z.ss
