The excuse of the German officer who
killed a civilian who accidentally brushed
against him, that "he thought his uni
form had been furnished" is really no
excuse at all. Why didn't he wait to
see if q tailor couldn't do something with
it?-Chicago Post.

TO REPAIR THE ARMoRY.

A Much Needed Improvement to be
 Made Shortly--New Uniform Closets
 In the Officers Rooms.
 The officers of the city battalion of the Second regiment and of the First Sep arate company, Governors Horse Guard, and Naval battalion met in the armory last night. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the best means of remodeling the armory. There were several plans under discuss sion. The one which met with the most favor was the plan to have a cellar ex- cavated under the building and the erection of gymnasium, bowling al ley and a rifle range. A new floor is greatly needed and the question wheth- CT it shall he concrete or not was also discussed, but it was thought best that it be relaid with wood. The &C., ton of the meeting will be submitted to Quartermaster General Disbrow, and the repairs will probably be made in sixty days. The appropriation that is at hand for this purpose is from $10,000 to $20,000.
 There have been several new inn provements made in the officers quar- ters at the armory the past month, among them being the erection of clos cts for the uniforms and the hanging of several paintings on the walls.

 Stocks Improving Both in Volume of
 Sales and Prices.
 New York, Aug. 2S,-Stoeks to-day showed some slight Improvement, both in volume of business and in prices The influx of gold was the dominating influence, the engagements since the import movement started about ten days ago footing up nearly twelve mill lion dollars. Better still, the foreign exchanges are demoralized and every thing points to 8 continuance of the movement of the yellow metal from Eu- rope to the United States. Discounts in the open market in London, it is true, have been advanced and the Bank of England has raised the price for gold bar, but this has been offset by a further reduction in posted rates for foreign exchange here.
 To-day sixty-day bills were posted at S4.821a and demand at $4.S5, against $4SS1a and s4.85 yesterday. Actual business, however was transacted at s4s1% @s4.S2A for sixty days and s4.S31a @4$3A for demand the lowest touched |, To-day rates ranged from per cent, for the bulk of the business was trans acted at per cent. and under With gold coming this way and mon- ey less stringent, operators were in- clined to branch out little on the long side of the account, while the bears were disposed to cover their short lines. London also took more interest in our market and bought St. Paul and Louis- vile and Nashville. The advance in the general list was equal to A@29s per cent. Jersey Central. Manhattan, Western Union, the industrials, the guangers and the internationals led in the advance. ..
 The grangers were strengthened by the unexpected good showing of the Burlington and Quincy for July. For the period named the company reports surplus of $93,323, against deficit in 1895 of S10360. Speculation closed strong, with prices at or near the best figures of the day.
 Net changes show advances of 1s@ 31s per cent Tn the inactive issues H. linois Steel rose 311a to 4O1a and later re- ceded to 381s.
 Bonds were more active and strong. Sales were $927, 900.

Knowing the vital importance of keep ing baby abundantly nourished in hot weather, force the child to take more food than it can assimilate, or food that is i'll adapted to hot weather feed ing.
 High temperature, with such inn proper feeding, brings cholera, infan- tum, diarrhea and convu1sions.
 Mothers who feed their children on lactated food will have the comforting feeling of having done everything pos sible for insuring baby's health, growth and lasting happiness Lactated food is the happy achievement of long de- sired substitute for mothers milk It is known to invariably make firm flesh, a clear skin, bright eyes, and to strengthen the child's body so that di- arrhea, cholera infantum and exhaust ing summer sickness do not gain a footing. Lactated food babies are rosy specimens of genuine fun loving, noisy children, that develop strong physiques, with large bones and muscles
 The only assured safety for pale, weak siclzly babies in summer Is for mothers to stick close to diet of pure Iactated food. The danger of over loading the tiny stomach, and the con- sequent diarrhea, natures way of dealing with indigestion-is thus avoid- ed. Lactated food is the one perfect substitute for healthy mothers milk Specialists in cfildren's disorders pre- scribe it. intelligent parents every where recommend 1t, and babies living on it show how perfectly it is adapted to infant summer feeding, by their healthy condition, their plump, happy faces, and their bright eyes
 Mrs H. A. Vreeland of Windsor, Ct, has the same reason to bless lactated food that thousands of other mothers have. She writes to the proprietors of lactated food
