FINANCIAL NEWS
Ordinary Sentiment Last
Night Rather BeariSh.
The Washington Situation Not Any
Too Favorable.
Special TO The News.


NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The ordinary
sentiment last night was rather bearish,
notwit thstanding the rise in Coal stocks
in the afternoon. 1t was felt that the
Washington situation was not favorable
and that no one would start a bull cam
paign until this factor had changed for
the better.
There was very general feeling that
the Granger group would work lower in
view of the blizzard West, which should
restrict business and increase operating
expense, and because earnings had fallen
off decidedly,so so far in December, as COM
pared with the fall months.

THE CHARITY BALL.
Philanthropy and Pleasure
Successfully Combined.
A Delightful Affair at Infantry Hall
Last Evening.

The charity ball, last night, like all the
affairs undertaken by the ladies OF this
town, who can SO happily combine pleas
ure for themselves with doing good Tor
others, was very successful both from the
point of view of those who are interested
in the welfare of ST. Mary's Orphanage,
the beneficiary society, and in the opin-
ion Of the men and women who danced,
which does not mean that the latter
were not interested in the charitable
feature OF the affair
II was just like all other we'll arranged
balls except that ii was more attractive
than any of its predecessors, and there is
nothing to say about IT after giving the
names OF the patronesses and the ladies on

the re ception committee ana stating that
the music furnished by Reeves Orchestra
for both the concert aud bail was delight
full, that the effects OF the decorations in
yellow with an abundance OF greenro-
liage was charming, that the young
women, ell beautifully gowned, looked
radiant and the young men were Ms
pleased as they should have been with
the privilege OF dancing with them, and
that from IL o'clock until 1 o'clock Cater
er Lyman served a most satisfactory sup
per. Therefore, these "words" are un-
necessary except as an accompaniment for
Mr.. Marshall's sketch which shows the
picture that could be got by looking
down from the gallery and then follow
ing straight line across TO the other
side OF the hall. In the foreground are
tire heads OF the couple dancing, directly
under Mr.. Marshall, showing the lady's
sleeves and the top OF her own and her
escorts head and little farther out to-
ward the center OF the floor we get the
waists and so OH TO the opposite side,
where there is an attractive "white
front" row OF wall flowers. The wall
flowers were all gentlemen and that was
the unique feature of the ball-every LADY
could enjoy the excitement OF being be-
sieged by quartet OF wouid-be partners
clamoring ( or the next dance.
Among the guests were His Excellency
Governor Charles Warren Lippitt, ac-

ply, and getting out of bed went to where
her father and mother were sleeping, and
found them breathing heavily, ana made
an effort TO awake them. The little one
became alarmed and went TO the front

in. BY this time Mr. Reardon had awoke
and found that his wife was unconscious.

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease, be cured. This may seem like a bold assertion to those familiar only with the means gener- ally in use for its treatment as nasty cod liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract of malt, whiskey, different preparations of hypophosphites and such like ballfdft0eS.
 Although by many believed to be incura- ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that, i'll all its earlier stages, consumption IS curable disease. Not every case, but large per centaee of cases, and we believe, JnlLy 9S per cent. are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ- ing ttfeercular matter), great loss of flesh aud extreme cancellation and weakness.
 a Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease1 You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis- representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery" but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this ldtai udIauy, all otnei HHeuiClheS Witu which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "enulsions and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey. and various preparations of the hypophos- phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
 The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been ski1lfully reproduced in a book of I6o pages which will be mailed to you, on re- ceipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their experience.

 IRON MOULDERS
Hear An Interesting Talk From Their Second Vce-PreSident, Hon. Thomas
 Wisdom.

About 100 members of Iron Moulders' union No. 255 assembled last night in E,rswel hall to hear an address from Hon. Thomas Wisdom. second vice-presi- dent of the Iron Moulders Union of America.
 t Mir. William Denman, president of No. 255. introduced the speaker in a few appropriate words.
 Mr Wisdom, in plain, unvarnished words--words void of flowers and feath- ers-laid bare the condition of affairs among iron moulders of America as ex- isting at the present day He reviewed the history of moulders from the first in- ception of moulding down to the present time and showed where the laborer had worked necessarily to upbuild the pro- prietor and had in the meantime failed to think of self. To counteract this grevious error he warmly advocated the setting aside of a fund to be used in case of emergency when the time came for workers in sand to demand their rights
 The speaker. reviewed the history of government from the time of Washing ton, and said if that great hero were here now and saw the condition of affairs in the legislative halls of the several states of the union he would shudder.
 While not making a political speech, Mr. Wisdom advised the working men to prepare themselves and send men to the legislature who would enact laws (and see to their enforcemenO conducive to the interests of working men in pref erence to capitalists.
 The speech was well received and warmly applauded After the finale Mir Wisdom held an informal reception, after which the doors were closed to all save members of No. 255 and a private session was held
 On the stage with the speaker were Mir. William Denman, president; MT. Le- ander Whelan, corresponding secretary: James E. Jacobs, trustee, and J. T. Hick- man. financial secretary of Iron Mould CTS union No. 255, and an Age-Herald ronOrtnr
