General Weakness Pervaded Stock Opera
 tions Yesterday.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Weakness char acterized the early trading at the stock exchange to-day, but the decline in prices was confined to narrow limits, notwithstanding the efforts put forth by the professional bears and sold -out bulls. The news current was generally favorable.
 The St, Paul road reported decrease of $214,00 in gross earnings for the sec- ond week of November, the American Sugar Refining company reduced prices of refined one-elghth cent all around on account of the break in raws yester- day, and the failure of the Ryan sym dicate to secure control of the Seaboard Air Line was announced.
 London sold St. Paul on the poor showing of earnings made by the road. and parted with small amounts of oth- CT stocks owing to the depression in South African mining securities, which in turn was due to the circulation of unfavorable rumors about the Trans vaal situation.
 Manhattan scored the heaviest loss during the morning hours falling nearly ? points, to 96B. Southern Rail- Way SlOchS ISCtuGd 12WDl4 per CGHI. OH the refusal of certain holders to trans fer their Seaboard Air Line stock to northern capitalists, as previously agreed. The matter, it is understood, will be fought out in court.
 In the afternoon trading Metropoli- tan Traction jumped 51a per cent, to 114, on the declaration of the 20 per cent. scrip dividend by the directors yesterday Subsequently on realiza- tions the stock receded. The rise in Metropolitan Traction led to purchases to cover shorts in other parts of the list, and in the final transactions spec ulation was firm in tone. The rally from the lowest point was equal to 40 15k per cent, Manhattan and Sugar leading. American Spirits, common and preferred, were in request on re- ports of an impending deal with out side distillers
 Net changes show gains of A@11s per cent, outside of Metropolitan Traction, which gained 31s per cent Tennessee Coal lost 5s per cent. and Manhattan F per cent.

WALLING FORD.


 Oliver Spencer of Washington has in drawn in 176O by the Perkins Litho- grapy of 128 Fulton street, New York. The map is 6 fine piece of work, and considering it's age, is remarkably we'll preserved. It shows only two streets running north and south-Old Colony road and Long Highway, now known as Main street. At the south end of the town the upper roads diverge and join Colony street--now known as Ivy street. The map gives the names of the different owners of the land be- tween what is now known as Ward street and High street, on the north The present continuation of Main street, down by E. R. Halls and Pine Hill, was not then laid out, nor was Elm street on the east or the turn pike on the west. The map is with out doubt the oldest official map to be found in this section, and is a decid- ed curiosity. The old map shows Col ony street as it was before the rail- road was built, and as it will be under the proposed changes when they are carried out
 The attorney referred to in yester- days correspondence as having been struck in the face was not Judge Hub bard or Attorney c. A. Harrison.
 The democrats will meet in caucus in the town hall this evening to nomi- nate a ticket for the annual borough election. Three names have been men, tioned for the office of warden, but only one will be chosen. There is no great scramble for the position, as the more thoughtful ones realize that this is not 8 democratic year, while there are others who are as confident of demo- cratic success as they were before the recent national election.

Catarrh and Diseases
 of the Stomach. GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.
Dr. Hofmeister in a recent

Dr. Hofmeister in a recent lecture says:
 "The unnatural motions of the stomach causing pressure and belchings, the irritations of the intestines resulting in catarrh of the bowels, and the infamed mucous membranes are, the most fruitful of all known causes of disease. Out of them grow most kidney and liver troubles, dia- betes, all rheumatic affections and gout. I have found that the unnatural motions of the stomach cease, the intestinal troubles be- come soothed, and health results from the use of Carlsbad Sprudel Water. The diuretic effects of this water, it's quiet action upon the infamed intestines are beyond all praise"
 Beware of limitations. The gen. uine is bottled under the super vision of the city of Carlsbad. Each bottle has the seal of the city and the signature of " Eisner & Mendelson Co.," sole agents, New York, on the neck label.

General A. ". Greedy Makes a Request of
 the Grays for a Copy of Their COmpany's
 History.
 Brigadier General A. w. Greedy, chief signal office U. s. A., and supervisor in charge of the war department libra- ry, Washington, D. C., las sent a re- quest to the Grays, which has been duly honored, for a copy of their com- pany's history, together with one of the souvenirs of the eightieth anniversary of the company.
 The Grays' history embraces the per- iod from sthe organization of the com- pany in 1916 to 1876, and was written by Veteran Gray Jerome B. Lucke, who was the company's historian in 1876 and for several years thereafter. The volume includes in it's account of the company's record during the period of the war, the part Go.

The Human Sweetbread.

Most people will be surprised to know that there Is gland In their body exactly similar to the calf's sweetbread which they are in the habit of eating Not only IS thls so, but 1t Is one of the most important or gans of the human system, Without 1t we could not live day, for not particle of food IS absorbed by the system uhtll lt nus ms been acted upon by the fluid which this gland secretes.
 There Is a popular belief that the stomach digests our food. To be sure, the gastric juice which it secretes does act on meats but only to prepare them for the further action of the sweetbread or pancreas.
 Again, three-quarters of the human diet should properly consist of starchy ana fatty foods, and upon these the stomach has no effect whatever How important therefore the pancreatic gland Is, will be seen at glance.
 Claude Bernard, the great French phys- ologlst, was the first to discover drug which had the power of stimulating this organ, and that drug is Ether, unfortu, nately he failed to find practical method for It's internal administration, and untl, our Etherol Emulsion was first introduced to the attention of the medical profession, his discovery had no utility.
 Etherol not only presents thls Valuapie mendlcament In a form which insures It's reaching the pancreatic gland, but harmless substances as well, which act particularly in the stomach. While therefore 1t is safe to say that three-quarters of all indigestion is seated in the small Intestine below the stomach, 1t matters not whether yours IS or this variety or of that form where the sto- mach is at fault,
 Etherol will meet the requirements, for, as stated, it contains digestive ferments that act upon food in the stomach as well.
 Owing to the rapid action of Ether It's eff fects are almost Instantaneous, and we are confident that single trial will persuade you to continue its use until complete cure is effected.
 In wasting diseases such as consumption. Etherol plays a most important role It arrests the loss of flesh, and an increase of strength and weight almost invariably fol lows, Not only does it stimulate the di- gestive organs and act as whip to their tagging energies, but it at the same time encourages the assimilation of the food af- ter it is once digested
 Most druggists keep it, or we will ge glad to send you bottle direct, charges paid, upon receipt of price, viz, 50 cents. Address

OF Adelaide. who has given great attention
TO the subject. has lately brought to this
country a number of specimens OF previ-

has artincially introduced gold interstices

Some OF these specimens were shown pri-
Nately to several distinguished geologists.
who expressed great surprise az the re-
markable character OF the exhibition.
The discovery some years ago that gold
could be Induced to deposit from its min
eral salt TO the metallic state on any suita-

Johnson TO experiment with various salts
of gold. and he has obtained some eNtraor-
dinary results. lie has, for example, found
II practicable to produce most natural look

stone which previously, when assayed. con-
tanned no trace Of gold. Moreover, the
