 New York, Dec. 3.-The joint congress ional committee appointed to report upon the advisability of abolishing the tax on all cohol for use in arts, resumed its inquiry to-day. George Engehard of Chicago, who represented the American Pharmaceutical association, Chicago retail druggists soci ety. and other pharmaceutical associations in various states, presented a resolution passed by the American Pharmaceutical as- soeation protesting against the exemption from internal revenue taxation of alcohol used in the arts or in medicine or like com pounds, because of the impossibility of reg uating it's use under the law as it now stands

The pressure to sell at no time reached important proportions, and soon after the opening the market took on a firmer tone.
 The St Paul statement proved to be more favorable than generally ex- pected, and this had a tendency to check aggressive action by the bears. For the fourth week of November the decrease is gross earnings reported by

Appreciation.

An anecdote, illustrating the urbanity
Of DR.. Max Nordau's character, as we'll
as his keen sense Of humor, is told in
connection with story Of 1. Zangwill.
DR.. Nordau had never met ZangwilI,
but was great admirer Of 1.-The Chill
cren Of the Ghetto" and its authors lit
erary causeries. One day friend, know
ing this, came to him and said:
Mr.. Zangwill has been writing about
you III The Pail Mall
Indeed" said DR.. Nordau, with an
air Of great interest.
He gives perfect appreciation Of
you, d" the friend continued.
Do tell me what he said,' said the
author, relaxing into an attitude of
pleasurable anticipation.
He says you're an idiot.
The funny part Of the story is that
during recent visit to England DIR.
Nordau met MIR. Zangwill and told him
tho incident.
