STOCKs-The chief feature of interest Of
the speculative situation today was the
UNEXPECTEDLY good showing made by St.
Paul for the month Of May, the nst earn
ings being only S73 05S less than for the
corresponding month of 1898. II was
thought that the May report would show a
loss of over 100000. and when the figures
were published the effect on the
market was quite pronounced and
induced purchases, not alone Of
St. Paul and the other Changers, but also
Of the list generally. Another favorable
factor Of the speculation was the very
small withdrawal OF gold for shipment to-
morrow, only 100000. The London
cables came in with reports Of a good
market abroad for American securities,
and there was buying in most Of the inter-
nationals tor the foreign account. The con-
ditious seemed entirely favorable TO an up
ward movements in the railway list and
some Of the Industrials came under the
rule. Sugar was notably strong on brisk
buying, the bulk of the purchases being
credited TO heavy operator who had COW
cred his shorts and taken the other side Of
the market The market in the afternoon
was strong and moderately active, the i'm
proving tendency continuing up TO the

PIcbe1au Ingram Pounded Between Mar
bic Fronts.
In this moving and Spring cleaning time
grounds on which carpet can be beaten are
quoted high on domestic exchanges and their
value is sure to be as far above par as is
Yerkes' street railway stock in parts of the
city where houses are thick. 1t was in one
of these parts the other day that one OF the
unemployed" who had been hired for the
occasion by family that was wrapping up
its penates and other bric-a-bric in burlap,
preparatory to a shift in flats. went forth
looking for bit OF grass on which to pound
an ingram.
In fact it was in the most exclusive section
Of the North Side. On Astor street the "un-
employed spied vacant lot. He made for
it. and presently his stout three feet of rubber
hose which he had nailed to II broom handle
was raising a cloud of dust. 1t loated lazily
toward the windows OF The two splendid
mansions that walled the grass plot in on
either side.
Whose carpet are you beating?" was the
testy query that was shortly pelted down on
the FOUNDER.
"oh, it's one I've got job to Clean he
replied. with meek Indifference. This was
too much for the irate questioner
"That land Is ours she said. with the
hauteur of Clara We're de We're. land don't
you bring another carpet there to beat
mo. won't; but guess I'll finish this
one.'' and the rubber hose continued its pie
beian thud in the aristocratic street until the
carpet had yielded up its dust. Then the
unemployed took his renovated burden and
went back to the stufTy fiat. As he dropped
the carpet to the floor he said. in answer
to a question as to where he had given it an
airing: ''Oh. over there on Astor, between
a couple OF marble fronts. ,s."-Chicago Tribune.

sophical Discussion of 1t.
from the London SPECTATOR
In our opinion, the rapid increase of sui
eide sust be due not merely to the dwindling
religious faith of the day-in both cases we
speak of there seems to have been keen
feeling that Gods forgiveness was needed
for the suicide. so that it was not primarily
due to any scepricism as to the existence of a
divine government-but 10 that horror of
trouble and grief which indicates dwind-
ling power of endurance and an almost ex-
tinct sense of hope. No doubt this dwind-
ling power OF endurance. this exiinguishing
of hope. undermines also the sources of faith
Faith without hope is hardly conceivable.
We have little doubt that there are "A much
larger number of persons who are born into
the world without any elasticity of nerve now
adays than there were in less exciting times
Iu spite of the great extension of the average
age of life. there is falling off. we believe in
that eager wish for experience, that instinct
for living even under heavy load of diff
cultes which there used to be in the old
times before all the eyhausting interests of
the present day. Where children in the old
days ran away from unhappy homes. they
often commit suicide now. Bereavement, in
stead OF heing regarded as a new burden to
be borne. and to be borne patiently. however
overpowering it may seem. is regarded as a
calamity to lie evaded even at the voluntary
sacrifice OF great deal of real happiness,

EXTENSION OF SEWERS.
Bond Issue for This Purpose Sug-
gcsted by T.. l.. HoIbrook

On account Of the failure to obtain quorum
the House District Committee had no meeting
yesterday to consider protests and communi-
cations relative to the proposed bond issue
for sewer extension. as had beenplanned. and
the matter consequently goes over TO the
regular meeting OF the committee next
Wednesday.
Among the communications received is one
from Health Officer Hammett on health con-
ditions in the District which was published
yesterday in The TINES.
Another is that proposed by T. L. Holbrook.
chairman OF the committee from the Washing
ton brick exchange. recommending certain
amendments as suggested by the District
Committee on Tuesday. These amendments
are as follows: In section /. the clause in
serted mo part OF the said 81 ,0O0. 600 to be
made available until Il schedule OF the work
proposed TO be done and the estimated cost of
the same shall have been submitted and ap-
proved by Congress" In section 1, further
on. the clause is added. after the word dol
lars. this money TO be expended in carry
ing out in detail project No. /. and recon-
mended by board OF sanitary engineers in
report before referred 10, and described in
appendix Z. but no portion of the amount of
Is. $50. 900 is to be expended in experiments
ceed the estimated cost for such work as given
in appendix B. Mr.. Holbrook's communica-
ton then continues:
Permit me to direct your attention to the
first paragraph on page IL of the report of
the sanitary engineers. When they COM
menced their work Major Charles W. Ray
mond was Engineer Commissioner of the
District: during its progress Lieut. Col. Henry
u. Roberts succeeded him. Capt. ". T. Ros-
sell and Capt. Charles F. Powell having
terminated the office. Please notice how fire.
Guent these changes are. l earnestly appeal
to you in acting upon the bill TO define the
work to be done with the money TO be derived
from the proposed bond issue so clearly tha.
in the event the engineer officers now de-
tailed to spend the money Congress appro-
PIRATES should. by any possibility be trans
ferred 10 other fields OF usefulness their sue
cessors may have 4 line marked out for them
to follow. which at least, would make them
independent OF subor1inates.
Mrs. Briggs, who addressed the committee
at its special hearing Tuesday last, presents
protest against the issuing of the bonds. on
the ground that the bill does not provide
properly for the protection OF small property
holders. and is in the interest of syndicates
and others owning large tracts of unimproved
and unoccupied lands.

FADS OF THE CITIES.
Things In Which the Women Are Specially
Interested


from the Indianapolis News
"what is the fad in your citys' was the
question the Chicago Tribune asked by tele-
graph of its correspondents in twenty of the
largest towns in the country last Saturday
night. and the replies gave an interesting idea
of the things that are most engaging the fem
mime attention of the United States.
In New York female suffrage and bicycling
are the rage.
Cincinnati is wild on the subject OF
horseback riding. with growing tendencies
toward bicycling and tennis.
Philadelphia revels in coaching.
San Francisco women want the ballot.
Cleveland has yellow shoe craze.
In Milwaukee tea is supplanting beer,
which sounds more like sneer than a state
ment OF fact.
Cooking clubs are the latest in Minneapolis.
Dress reform is making progress in Denver
Los Angeles is for female suffrage.
Baltinore's fad is said to be athletics
''Polo is also looming up" says the cor
respondent.
Golf and violets are Boston's newest pleas
ures.
In Jacksonville dancing and fishing are
the most popular means OF amusement.
Dancing and sculpture delight ST. Louis.
In Portland. Ore. st. Paul. and Tacoma
amateur hstrionics for charity engage the
young people.
Detroit is daft on horseback riding.
But the most popular fad of all is the BIZ
cycle.
Washington. Spokane. Cheyenne. Salt Lake
City. Albuquerque. and Louisville, not to
mention the other pieces which have been
mentioned. are on wheels.
Never was the bicycle us general ms it is to-
day. Never was its conquest OF the whole
country more certain. And yet it is only one
OF the many means of exercise. The young
women and young men OF to-day are living
out-of-doors. and the result is that the health,
longevity. and happiness of the country are
all increasing.

Armonr Will Die Poor.

P. D. Armour. the millionaire packer, ,stroled
into dining-car on the st. Paul road the
other day in his usual breezy and wholesome
way. The train conductor came along, and
Mr.. Armour handed over a commutation
ticket to be punched. Though he has a desk
full of annual passes he never travels on
pass even on roads of which he is a director.
The millionaire was bound for the home of
his sou. P. D., jr., at Oconomowoc. where he
spends what few hours he can spare from his
business during the summer months. After
he had given the waiter his order Mr..
Armour turned to chat with friend.

Mclso..irr the Firemen.

From the Hasers own Herald and Torchlight ]
Hagerstown has justly earned again her
right to the title of the convention city of the
state. The Immense crowds entertained here
yesterday. the good order prevailing, the per-
feet hospitality. and the uniform good feel
ing shown, stamp our city as the beau ideal
convention town OF the state of Maryland.
1t is to be hoped yesterdays meeting of the
flremen, whose shadows we hope will never
grow less, will be but the beginning OF a series
OF pleasant gatherings in our midst in the near
future, us u result of which we hope many
will forsake their idols elsewhere and come
within the charmed circle Of this city's life
and hospitality.

TWO WINGS OF COXEYITES.
Ono Believes in Peaceful Measures. the
Other in Force-Browne Ridi.
cuIcs the Educational Idea.

culcs the Educational Idea.
There are two factions in the army of the
commonweal-one that believes in peaceful
solution of the labor problem, which they con-
tend can be accomplished only through the
educational channel and by argumentative
appeal to reason; the other a radical wing,
that holds views that are revolutionary, II not
anarchistic
The first has the sympathy and open sup
port OF men who are prominent in Congress
and out. men who are even now mapping out
campaign which has for its object the in
struction of the people of the states in the
aims and purposes of the spectacular demon
stration that practically ended on the Capitol
steps May /. Those who hold the conserva-
tive view believe that Coxey and his army
did the cause OF labor all the good it could
accomplish by'its march to the capital of the
nation. They now believe the army should
disband and commence the work of mission
iZing the masses. The hope is that by con-
certed action the influence of the lahoring
men can be made effective in the next cleo
ton by the choice of men for Congress who
are favorable to the cause they advocate and
represent They have no desire 10 assume n
radical position. and have practically aban-
doned hope OF securing legislation at the
present session of Congress.
The radical wing is led by Carl Browne.
He ridicues the educational idea and be-
lieves in and teaches coercion. When asked
to cooperate with the conservatives. he re-
marked that there had been already quite
enough literature distributed throughout the
country; that it Is impossible for the people to
comprehend the money power.
INTIMIDArE THE LEGISLATORS.
He had studied the question for years, and
had reached the conclusion that the only
possible means OF escape is by force-to "in-
timidate the ignorant legislators to legislate
in favor of the misses. and not of the classes"
From this statement of the differences, OBJ
tanned from representatives OF the movement.
il Is evident thar the two wings have ceased
to flap together.
It is understood that Browne has men
abroad recruiting the ranks OF the revolu-
tionists; that meeting was organized last
Sunday in Philadelphia by one of his agi-
tators. at which an appeal was made for
large enlistment; that he expects to obtain a
permit to parade through the public streets of
Washington on Independence Day. and
through force OF numbers. by reason of the
accessions which ne hopes for to succeed in
some measure in accomplishing what failed
of fruition on the 1st of May. His lieutenant
and coadu;or, Christopher Columbus Jones.
has been heard to say that Lives will be lost
before this thing is over. and that he might
be one of the sacrificed; that he did not en-
pect to get back home alive, and there might
be many others TO keep him company"
This incendiary talk may he the vaporings of
a lively desire for notoriety. but it is just as
we'll TO bear it in mind.

Recently Killed His Child.
MILAN. No.. June 23.-one of the most
brutal murders ever committed in Sullivan
county is beiieveI to have been committed in
this city last night. A. ]. Phlpps went home
drunk last night and quarreled with his wife.
This morning she was missing, and has not
been found yet.
His little daughter says he hit mamma
over the head three or four times. There are
blood stains all over the beiclothing. and a
corn knife was found a short distance from
the house. supposed to be the instrument
used TO commit the murler. Phipps was
arrested and jailed. and unless his wife is
found to-day ne will more than likely be
lynched.
Phipps is the fellow who some time ago cut
out the tongue OF his little infant child
causing instant death. and narrowly escaped
lynching.
