To the surprise of bulls and bears
alike. the stock market continues to
move up despite the delay in Washing
ton over the tariff and the continued
reports of damage to the corn crop by

that the dulness had lasted long enough,
and that 1t Is time for change.
They believe that the tariff must be
determined speedily whether the bill as
it is finally passed suits the sugar peo-
pie or not, and that this cause of I'M
certainty once removed business will
take a start In all sections OF the
country,

for her husband.
She took with her 81 In q pocketbook
which she carried in her hand. She
said she would be back at 8 o'clock.

time, and as the evening passed and it
reached midnight, her husband was pre-
pairing to notify the police, when the
Hat bell rang.
When no one came in after Mr.. Hast
ings sprang the electric latch. he rushed
downstairs and found his wife leaning
heavily against the door in a semi-un-

half carried and half dragged his wife
up the stairs to their nat on the first

There he laid her upon a lounge and
discovered tab she had, tightly clutched,
one in each hand, her pocketbook still
containing ss75 and her umbrella with
the handle in two pieces.
Mrs. Hastings seemed to be suffering
greatly. but refused to allow her hus
