New YORK, June 1S.-It is quiet
day IN stock circles. the transactions only
footing up 1l6, 900 shares. At the opening
the Industrials were strong with an ad-
vancing tendency, while railroad shares
Were inclined to weakness. st. Paul and
Union Pacific were especially weak at
this time The other prominent railroad
stocks declined Is to e per cent. The en-
gagement of 81, 0O0, 900 gold for shipment
operated against the market. AJchlson
sold down to ON the announcement that
the assessment will bo Sl2 on the
stock. The Industrials cut aloof
from the other stocks aud were strong
throughout. Sugar, Chicago Gas and
Electric advanced from % to u per cent,
q part of which was lost near the close on
rehlizations. The market was benefited in
the late trading by the rise in wheat.
Probably the best feature OF the advance
in this cereal list was caused by heavy
foreign buying which, if continued, will
soon put an end to the eftlux of gold.
Stocks closed firm and 1s to per cent.

About Woman.

The discussion of the woman suffrage
issue in New York is becoming almost
exciting. The opposition has reached
its lowest notch in the argument made
last week by Francis NJ. Scott, In
which he advanced as a reason why
women should not vote the fact that
there are 100 900 women in New York
State who lead lives of uuconcealed dis
honor. Concerning this, the Rochester
Post.Express very forcibly says" 1--WE do
not know that it Is claimed that noto-
rious women ought to be enfranchised;
but we do not understand how a man
can have the impudencs to stand up
and deny political privileges to these
women. and to all women for their sins,
and at the same time assert political
privileges for the men that make. pat.
ronize, and live ON the earnings of such
fallen women" Mr.. Scott has the
floor for explanations.

The WRITING WOMAN:


With Hebrew, Greek and Latin
She's acquainted more or less,
And she's obviously pat in
All the modern languages.
She has read her Herbert Spencer,
Her Kant and Schopeuhauer,
And in logic she's tencer
OF unquestionable power.
She is full OF keen suggestion,
Be the subject what it may;
And on every social question
She has something apt to say.
You may see her quick eye kindle
With bright and vivid flame
At the mention Of Tyndall
Or Huxley's potent name.
Scraps Of learning she will dish up
With skill that makes them live.
She will argue with bishop,
Say, on church prerogative.
With her own sex che will chatter,
In the proper time and place,
On some trivial household matter,
With a quaint and lively grace.
She can cook, and wash, and mangle
Though perhaps she'd rather mott,
Play tennis, ride and angle,
And rs quite champion shot.
From the public platform you will
Find her talking fact or myth,
With the vigor of Whewell
Or the wit of Sidney Smith,
'MoDgst mere minnows she's Triton
Who will always have her way:
She's an admirable Crichton,
Is the Woman of Today.

She Is Baby Barber who Shaves Five Me
In Five Minutes,

She Is Baby Barber Who Shaves Five Men
In Five Minutes.
London has been having BARRIERS ex-
position and shaving contest lately, which
has attracted not little public attention,
mainly because of the dazzling perform
ances Of a little girl s years old, who Is
called "the baby barber" Her name is Nell
lie Wick, and she is a prodigy in the tonso-
rial art. She can shave five men in less than
five minutes, has done 1t repeatedly in 4
minutes IS seconds and is said to have beat
en- even this remarkable time when she had
a favorable set Of chins to operate on. Men
come TO her nightly in scores and submit
with cheerful resignation to her deft ma
nipulation.
Miss Wick is u pretty little girl. She has
light flRxen hair and innocent blue eyes
and wears a frock Of delicate pink and neat
little shoes. As she stands on her little
stool to reach her clients boards, obeying
her proud fathers whispered injunction to
hurry up" she looks as If she had just
stepped out of a picture book. Her clients,
however. look anything rather than pic
turesque. They sit in chairs-five Of them
in IA rowland every mans head is thrown
back upon the rest, and every mans chin is
white with shaving soap, and around every
mans neck is tucked a cloth. Beau Brum-
mel himself could not have managed to
look picturesque under such circumstances
Much less are horny handed sons Of toll
beautiful to look upon in such disguise.
The exhibition ends, and the less inter
esting competition between Miss Wick s fla
Their and Mr.. Lloyd succeeds it; then the lit
