MkEs 1NHuMAN1rY TO BRurEs.

Every kindly-disposed person in the Dis
frict Of Columbia will join in hearty commen-
dation Of the energetic proceeding of the
Humane Society in behalf OF overtaxed horses
and mules 1t has been a common sight to
see half-fed, spawned animals drawing loads
out Of all proportion TO their strength, goaded
on by the lash OF the driver. who would add
his own weight to the alreai iy excessive
burden There have been instances where
the poor beasts actually dropped in their
tracks. unable to move a step further. 1t is
high time that a stop were put to such cruelty,
and the Humane Society's action is a step in
the right direction.
Those merchants whose teams were stopped
by the society's agents entered an ill-con-
Bidered protest against the latter's interfer-
snce. The agents were clearly in the right,
both from legal and moral point of view,
and it argues well for the merchants dis
cretion, at least, that they finally promised
not again to offend against the law, both
human and divine.
1t is singular how utterly inconsiderate men
Ire respecting the comfort and endurance Of
beasts Of burden. Though these are valuable
not merely on account Of what has been paid
Tor them, but even more because they consti-
Iute important factors in the transaction Of
pertain classes Of business, they are fre-
suendy treated as if they were enemies Of the
human race instead of friends and helpers.
One would think that selt-interest, If no higher
motive, ought to dictate kindlier. more con-
Iiderate treatment. As regards those drivers
who seem TO take special delight in beating
and torturing animals already broken down
Dr. overburdened. the short, drastic method is
The best. Let them be promptly arrested and
heavily fined, and upon repetition of the Of
fense give them term in jail on spare diet.
IN that way reformation will probably be ef-
fected more promptly than in any other.
Meanwhile public opinion will sustain the

BLAMED ON THE ELECTIONS
Business on the New York Stock Ex-
change Almost Stagnated.
TRADING LIGHT IN CHARACTER
Leading Operators and the General Public
Keeping Out Of Wall Street Pending the
Elections or Deferred Because Of Reor-
ganization Schemes Involving Railroads.

New YORK, Oct. 24-The stock market to-
day reached the point of utter stagnation, the
aggregate OF the transactions being less than
Ga, 600, an amount of business that is fire.
quently done in less than single hour OF a
fairly active day. Whether it is that the lead
ing operators ana the general public are
keeping out OF Wall street pending the cleo
tions, or are deferred from trading by the
great number OF reorganization schemes in
volving the leading railroad properties which
are moving forward so slowly and with halt
ing steps, one thing is very certain that the
share market is lapsing into state of hope
less inanition.
During the month OF October, 1898, the
trading on the stock exchange was notably
active, and year ago to-day the sales footed
up sos, 900 shares, or an average of 10l 900
shares an hour for the entire day, while to-
days total sales are only little over 63, 600
shares. 1t is scarcely worth while reviewing
the course OF the market to-day.
The movement OF prices for the leading
shares was extremely narrow. The tone Of
the trading was generally firm except for the
specialGes, but this was due TO the fact that
there was no pressure TO sell rather than any
special buying movement the few Purchasers
being mostly small shorts whom the extreme
quietude frightened into covering in the fear
that it might be the calm preceding a storm.
Sugar moved up q reacted Ss, and rallied
i gaining x on the day. St. Paul. which
led the railway list in the dealings, fluctu-
ated within range of Is per cent. Burling-
ton was held within similar limits. Rock
Island within u, and Northwest within t,
the latter losing = and the other three ap-
preciating 1sa94 on yesterdays closing. Man
haitian recorded an advance or per cent. on
covering of short contracts. and Tobacco
made like advance on small buying.
On purchases of 500 sharles Louisville and
New Albany preferred rose ~, New Jersey
Central selling up III on the buying of 400
shares, and Oregon Short Line advancing
per cent on single 100 share transaction,
all three closing at the highest. Consolidated
Gas broke per cent, but recovered 4 at
the close. Tennessee Coal and Iron dropped
per cent. on the liquidation of the holdings
of an ex-offlcer of the company, recovering
the loss, but finally reacted y. The other
changes were trivial. The market closed
auiet but fairly firm.

AS THE CROWDS COME OUT.

From modern comedy to Shakespearian
comedy and then back again TO old English
comedy in three nights demands considerable
versatility, but Ada Rehan is possessed of the
breadth Of ability TO accomplish it. Her Lady
Teazle is certainly superior to that Of any
living actress.
THE school for Scandal" given last night
is vastly different from the original draft of
Richard Brinsey Sheridan. The re-arrange-
ment by Mr. Daily has done away with many
of the old, tiresome dialogues which an audi
ence would bear for the sake of the brilliant
repartee and sparkling aphorisms they con-
tanned. The action is much more swift, and
the whole change is decidedly for the better.
No such scene-mounting and costuming
has ever been given the popular comedy in
Washington as was seen last night. Miss
Rehans gowns were distinct creations.
The eyer-popular Love on Crutehes" will
hold the boards at the National tonight
"Parhassius," a Greek tragedy, by Espey
w. II. Williams a theatrical critic of New
Orleans, received its first performance in this
city at Albaugh's last night, with Robert
Mantell in the title role
The play is modelled on historical limos, and
tells an interesting story with plenty Of swift
action to make it interesting. Parhassius
is blessed with talent and cursed with vaunt-
ing ambition, and on his character the plot
is woven.
Mr. Mantell gave a strong and vivid inter-
probation of the leading part, and was
obliged to respond to several curtain calls
Miss Charlotte Behrens, beautiful, shapely,
and possessed of great dramatic ability,
played Lydia, wife of Parhassius, with grace
and force.
The piece was sumptuously mounted. the
audience frequently testifying appreciation
of the different settings.

co-oPEzATE AGAINST coNTAGIoN

The new cases Of contagion from smallpox
make il imperative that vaccination should
again be generally ordered The cold weather
lust come on is favorable 70 a spread Of the
disease and every possible precaution must
be taken against il.
The health officials and the Commissioners
are alive to the danger and only need the
hearty cooperation Of citizens in preventing
what seems about to be an epidemic.
The great danger points, in this as in every
other contagious disease, is the schoolnouse-
It's gratifying to remember at this time that,
in spite Of objections from parents, large
majority Of the District scholars were vacci-
mated last spring. Those who have not been
subjected to this preventive should be so
treated, or sent home until the danger is
over.
It becomes the duty Of every iather Of a
family to see that mis- household receives
medical attendance at once. In many cases
the vaccine has lost it power and fresh virus
IS needed.
Our District officials are active; let their
work be supplemented by that Of the citizen
AID the city is practically safe.

]. ADAM BEpE,s RESIGNATION.

Somehow or other, regrets for the resigna-
fion OF J. Adam Bede as United States mar
shal do not shower down upon that pictur-
esque individual.
There does not seem to be wide public ad
miration for the civic virtue and lofty hero
sm Of a man who prefers politics to public
Office. Virtue there is, doubtless, and hero
ism, also. in such an act OF self-deeapitation as
that performed by j. Adam Bede, but withal
there is some suspicion Of the quality Of the
virtue and heroism which are so hamboy-
antly displayed.
What if J. Adam Bede were really better off
out OF the government service than in it, or if
the service were improved by his resignation
rather than injured? Under these possible
circumstances where is the virtue in throwing
up a job, or the heroism in casting oneself
outside the breastWorksy
Perhaps J. Adam Bede's preference Of poll
tics TO public Office has no great moral princi-
pie behind it. Lacking the important element
Of self-saerifce it does not seem, after all, a
lne choice

Humane Society in its work, and we venture
to suggest that it might develop its activity
also in the direction OF the humber members
Of the animal world. Dogs and cats are the
sufferers OF many a mans innate cruelty or
bad temper, and timely interference might
work some change for the better here.
The Humane Society has Stated crusade
which it should not relinquish until by one
means or another it has convinced owners and
drivers Of draft animals that these, as we'll rs
other dumb beasts, have some rights that must
be respected, even by the lords of creation.

sTREET-CAR FENpERs.

When the Commissioners issued their order
for the fender equipment of two cars on each
street railway line using mechanical power,
they had in view the practical test of the
many devices submitted by inventors for the
prevention of street railway fatalities.
Interviews had by THE TIMES with the
street railway companies affected by the
order show that with possibly one exception
there will be full compliance with the order
on the part of such companies, and further,
thai all companies using mechanical power
are willing to equip their cars with any fender
approved for use by the Commissioners in
pursuance of the power conferred upon the
latter by act of Congress.
This being the case, it appears. if state
ments made by street railway officials may
be relied on, that nothing stands in the way
of the immediate equipment of all cars
operated by mechanical power with Tenders
but the adoption by the Commissioners of a
suitable device. In view of this situation the
outcome OF the experiments about TO begin
will be awaited with interest.
The duty Of the Commissioners in the
possible practicable form of car fender, and
TO order it placed upon cars using mechani-
cal power. That the Commissioners will do
this seems certain from their recent utter
ances upon the subject. When they shall
have determined upon final and specific or
der. the public will expect the street railway
companies TO promptly comply with the
law
