people who expected a whlrl of rapidly
rising prices after November g. The
failure Of such expectations to material
ize has had one curious result; good
share OF the financial critics, in New
York especially, are, employed In scold-
ing the market because 1t win not do
what was expected of 1t. Investors as
rule are lectured because they will
not buy at rising prices; the board
room traders, because, in a very eau
tious way, they persist in selling
short" 1t cannot be said that criti-
cism of this sort is particularly profit
able. So far as the investor Is con-
cerned, his broker can be trusted to
set forth the markets opportunities
with sufficient eloquence.
Stocks opened dull this morning, at
fractionally lower level; London SELL
ing moderately. During the early
hours, there was very little trading; in
fact, some Of the earlier declines were
recovered on a few transactions. To-
wards the close however, the petty
spectators began to sell stocks here
and there; and an irregular decline
ensued. Taking the market as whole,
! the days changes in price were Of lit
tie consequence; a few stocks, however,
yielded sharply, probably under profit
| taking sales.
The days news gave no special In
spiration to activity in either direc-
ton. One of the crop of Cuban ru-
mors," which may be expected daily be-
tween now and the first Monday of
December, arrived this morning on the
stock exchange, but to-days efforts
was altogether too stupid canard to
attract any serious attention. What
was matter of considerably more in
terest was the further advance in ac-
tual rates for demand sterling exchange
above the highest figure of the season.

which there is no horse, and buy 1t on

I'm certain county in Alabama
there there is a section which contains
700 whites and 10000 blacks, and a
school open for three months. The
public authorities do not own school
in this whole district, and but fifty
cents a year is spent upon a child's ed
ucation in that county, while in the
east it is $50 year,
1T is very hard to teach a colored
man, or any man religion, If, when
leaving the church he goes to a sup
PEERLESS home.
I'VE must show them how to save
their crops and money. They under
stand work we'll enough, and for that
we have our own long years of servi-
tude to thank. On the other hand,
slavery crushed that sense of indepen-
dence and so they could not do for
themselves-their will power is gone
they don't know how. We must,
| therefore, furnish foundation. In
business in the south the white and
| the black man are much more together
| than in the north. In slave days the
white master had to depend upon the
| black slave, and now they meet every
| day, and when a black man has three
! story brick house all his own he is re-
| spected.
Our race made the mistake of try
| ing to begin at the top of civilization
and went around making speeches and
such like, rather than learning 81 trade

Death Of Samuel B. briggs.

The sudden death of Samuel B.
briggs, residing on the State road,
mile and half from this town, which
occurred at bedtime last night, was
severe shock to his household and the
friends of the family, most of whom
did not hear of it until this morning.
Mr.. briggs, who has been largely shut
in for several years from paralysis,
was in his usual health and ate his
supper with his family, and nothing
was noticed indicating any change
until the death stroke came. His wife,
an estimable lady, died three years
ago last April. He was 70 years old
last Sunday.
Mr.. briggs in every way was man
of superior qualities-educated, re-
fined in feeling, genial in tempera-
ment and possessing a large fund of
information. His life had been some
what checkered one. He and his
wife were both born on the island of
Nassau, but he was of Connecticut lin
cage and was possessed Of the energy
and vim characteristic of his ancestors
In his early life, seeing larger oppor-
tunities in sugar planting in Cuba, h'
and his wife went thither and had be
come adapted to plantation life, and i
was here their children were born
When old enough Mrs. briggs brough
them TO Connecticut for their educa
ton.
When the first revolution occurred
over twenty years ago, he foresaw tn
storm that was coming and determine
to close out his business there, whic
he did at considerable sacrifice. II
bought the farm which has been th
residence of the family since, in 1871
and brought his family on from Ne
Haven in the fall of that year.
He leaves four children, Mrs. Mar
Z. Turner, Miss Hennie briggs, d
John B, briggs, now at Point Hop
] Alaska, and Samuel briggs: Miss J

BASE BALL.

The base ball season opened here
yesterday with a game between the
strong Chestertown club and Smyrna.
1t was an elegant and exciting game
throughout, taking ten innings to de-
eide it. 1t looked at first as if Ches-
tertown would have an easy thing of
it. In the sixth inning our boys
began to hit the ball and gradually
crept up on their opponents until they
tied them iu the ninth inniug, the score
standing to 5, In Chestertown's
half of the tenth they managed to score
a run through the daring base running
of Steinmann.
In Smyrna's half of the tenth with
two men out, Wilt came to bat and
made two bagger, McCabe followed
with another hit for two bases, scoring
Wilt; Watterson stepped to the plate
and hit for two bases, scoring McCab,
with the winning run, tho score stand

NOMINEES FOR CONSTITUTIONAL CON
VENTION.

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best In fact
as a rule are not. What is wanted is
something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy. That is really pleasant
to take when reduced with water and
sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most successful
remedy in the world for bowel COM
plants. Ask any number of druggists
for the best remedy they have for
diarrah@a and fully nine out of every
ten will recommend Chamberlain s.

be the case, but Reeves, Old MixOns,
