Arrested for Laughing.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
A ssrious-looking middle-aged man, who
gave his name as Daniel Mackey. laughed
SO uproariously early yesterday morning at
Sth and Market streets that a crowd gath
cred. When Policeman Souders came along
and heard Mackey's laugh he ordered him
to go home.
'Ha, ha. hat" laughed the man.
IF You smoker again." threatened
Souders. and again the laugh pealed out.
In a rage Souders locked the man up, and
when Mackey was led before Magistrate
South several hours later the magistrate
asked: What's your name?"
'Ha. ha. hal" laughed Mackey
What do you mean, sir?"
''Ha, ha, ha!' was the answer
By desperate effort Mackey recovered
composure enough to explain that he was
the victim Of a physical ailment and that
now and then he could not keep from
laughing. Physicians had treated him, but
to no purpose.
ITS queer story" said the magistrate,
thoughtful!y; but you are discharged"

NEW YORK, October 24-An advance In
foreign exchange rates to a point fraction
ally under the export rate, the drought in
the west and the total absence Of support
ing orders combined IN depreciating stock
values beyond recent fractional limits. The
bulk of the trading was conducted in the
interest of recognized bear leader and the
customary following of the initiative elc-
nent. The main features of the speculative
situation are unchanged, but il the real
owners of securities fail to awaken to the
possibilities of an active application of the
good points In the situation il is not I'M
natural that the bad ones should be en-
phasized in order to ward off stagnation.
The returns from the representative rail-
ways of the country do not justify stock
sales, outside of the room, where fractions
are the main attraction. and sooner or
later figures and attendant legitimate evil
denceS of prosperity must triumph. st.

$192, 600 in earnings for the third week OF
the present month, yet a mere handful Of
stock scares timid holders out Of their
possessions.
Tennessee Coal and Iron sold of per
cent under sales by bear brokers. who took
advantage of the lull in the iron market
and the absence Of its friends to offer it
down. Manhattan sold down easily under
a good volume of business. and was the
most conspicuous feature of the regular
list. The decline naturally forced out some
long stock. but the short selling was clear
ly the most extensive.

The Telltale Trunk.
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
The trunk that was hustled into the hotel
the other day before breakfast was in con-
struction an ordinary, smart. new, medium
sized trunk. Yet people fingered on the
walks and gazed at it, and smiled, and
looked pleased at each other as the grim
ming baggage man took it down from the
heap. They stopped across the way on 36th
street and watched him. Even as far as
Broadway the infection spread, and the
public generally approved of this trunk.
For it had dainty white satin ribbons tied
in big bows on the handles. There We're

cent material attached to the lock. and

Suicide From Dependency.

The Marquis of Waterford, whose death
was telegraphed to yesterdays Star, CON-
mitted suicide with a revolver at Currag-
more. He had been in failing health. owing
to an accident to his spine while hunting
several years ago. Lord William Beres-
ford left London last night for Waterford.
Lord Marcus Beresford says that his
brother had suffered greatly from despond-
ency. 1t is feared that his wife's health
will be seriously affected, as it is delicate
Lord Waterford underwent a surgical op-

Summer Luxurie. in Greenland
From the Philadelphia Record.

FrIm THe fHIHU'1pHId INeCVrU.
The summer just past was the mildest
ever known in Greenland, according to re-
ports brought here on the bark Silicon,
which arrived on Sunday from Ivigtut.
The mountains for the first time ever
known are bare Of ice and snow, and wild
animals accustomed to extreme cold have
been compelled to go further north. Birds
are plentiful, as we'll as other kinds Of
game, particularly grouse, and a number
were shot by the Silicon's passengers
Blueberries were plentiful for the first time
in many years The water about the south
ern coast of the island was warm enough
to battle in, a luxury in which the natives
seldom indulge. Those on the Silicon who
took an arctic bath for the first time say
that they have met with colder water often
on the Jersey coast.

DISTRICT AFFAIR S
Protests Of Two Sorts Bearing on Garbage
Question.
Manager Bayly Does Not Like the
tiers Relating to the District.

John Pfeil appeared before the Com
n.issioners this afternoon and protested
against the erection of the clematory for
the destruction of garbage on square 63.
because, he said. 1t would injure his prop
erty interests in that vicinity.
Opposed the Change.
Manager Bayly of the garbage service
also appeared before the Commissioners to
argue against a change in the garbage
regulations. The changes proposed by the
health officer are that the garbage con-
tractor shall divide his collection service
iting each to two hours. In that way the
householders may know exactly what time
to expect the collector, and need not keep
their alley gates open unnecessarily. Man
ager Bayly opposed this as unjust. He did
not see how such an arrangement could
benefit anyone. The present arrangement
was working well, and he saw no good
reason for changing it. The health officer
explained that by the terms of the con-
tractors bid he agreed to such an ar
rangement, and said that he did not pro-
pose to recommend that such a rule be en-
forced this year, the object of the hearing
being merely to give the contractor no
tice of what he was to expect next year.
The Commissioners seemed to think this
a reasonable order and took 1t under con-
sideration.
Afternoon was also CalleQ 10 the recon-
mendation of the health officer that col
lectors be required to go into houses. but
not through them in collecting garbage.
This did not strike the Commissioners ia
vorably, and it was evident that they
would not approve that recommendation
At the conclusion of the hearing the Com
missioners reserved their decision.
Milk Regulations.
The Commissioners today received from
Illinois q COPY Of the regulations govern
ing the sale of milk in the state. The regu-
lations are identically the same as those
compiled by DR.. Woodward for the District
of Columbia.
