Nothing could have been more unfor-
tunate fer Charlotte Crewdson than the
circumstances under which she was left
an orphan and an heiress. Her mother
had died when Charlotte was about
twelve years old, and the girl had been
thrown entirely on the society or her
father, who, with all his good points,
was not the best company for young
girl. He vast is hardly necessary to
say, for Charles Crewdson's name Is still
a household word in turf circles-a jockey
by profession. and quite in the very first
flight.
Yet, though he was known to be
straight enough rs q rider, and, in fact,
enjoyed a high reputation. his tastes ana
his company were far from being re-
fined, and Charlotte had been used ever
since her mothers death to the constant

Yesterday the Tennessee Supreme

Intruder and clutched him.

and also Srasped the burglar. who con-
tlnued to force his way out of the door
with Hogg grasping him. Finally Hogg
pulled the burglar back into the room,
knocked him down, knelt on his chest
and yelled for gun with which to
make an end to the miscreant.

Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock

NEW YORK, Jan. a.
The market developed decided strength to-
day and the short interest was compelled to
cover in many directions Realizations at the
advance were well absorbed and the late reac-
ton was no more than might be expected An
unsatisfactory feature was the failure to secure
good response from Europe, but there were
indications of renewed aggression on the part
of some of the bull traders. The more hopeful
sentiment of the street was not supported by
any new favorable Developments but the opin-
Ion seems to be growing among many shrewed
operators that the low level of values has re-
fiected to considerable extent the existing adj
Verse conditions. There is talk among railway
managers of signs of slight revival in traffic and
it is reported that efforts will be made to secure
greater stability in freight rates east and west.
A feeling of relief is also experienced in the
financial community at the absence of the I'M
fortunate developments which have been limited
at tor the last week. With regard to any per-
manent improvement in values much of course
will depend upon the future course of Washing
ton legislation and the returns of the transpor-
tatlon lines. Ii business should begin to pick
up or confidence be strengthened for any other
reason the total lack of pressure of long stocks
would add to the difficulty of the bears in MAX
ing further recovery of stocks At the moment
there is better supply in the loan crowd, and
owing to the reaction in the short interest it
would not be surprising to see some reaction.
But we believe there has been a distinct change
for the better in the tone of speculation, and un
less unfortunate news should check the i'm
proving tendency of sentiment it seems to us
that it will be safe for the time being to buy.
