MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York. Nov. 30.-Trading at the
Stock exchange today as usual of late
was entirely professional. In the early
dealings the market was barely steady
but subsequently on moderate selling
the leading issues yielded fractionally
Later ON the active issues improved
slightly on the October statement of the
St. Paul road being little better than
was expected In the last hour of bus
mess the traders became more ag-
gressive. Sugar and Jersey Central
were the objective points. The latter
was raided down from 1881. to 1Ol.
Sugar sold down from HES to 1l5as.
This stock was hammered by the trad
ers on the announcement that the Will
liamsburg retineries had not resumed
operations. Commission houses were
without orders. Speculation left off
weak in tone. Net changes show losses
of 1ia25s per cent, Jerse Central lead
ing. Total sales were 179,900 shares.

EXPERIENCE OF A "JINER." "
Frank II. Prebic Describes His In
itIatiOn in an Orange Lodge.

Boston. Nov. 30.-The Waltham
branding" case i'm which the officers
of an Orange lodge are charged with
assault upon Il candidate for member
ship, was on trial before Judge Hardy
in the Superior court at Cambridge to-
day. Frank X. Preble is the complain
ant and John q. Graham, George X.
Nickerson. Edward O'Leil, Daniel
Tracey and Leander Weatherbee, the
defendants. The court room was
crowded. Preble was the only witness
for the prosecution. and gave a graphic
story of his initiation. He claimed
that he was cruelty used; that he was
flagellated on the bare legs, was stuck
with pins or an ice pick was com
PEELED to carry a heavy bag of stones,
and from step-ladder which he was
forced to mount, he fell into blanket,
was tossed in it and then was branded
with a red-hot iron on his left breast.
He claimed that he was severely
burned and otherwise injured.
He stated in court that he had taken
an obligation not to divulge the Sc
crets of the order, but this was before
the tossing i'm the blanket and the
burning. and he did not consider these
secrets of the order.

The murderer who, at dead of night,
cTeeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and
mangled body of his victim inspires men
with horror and g. ID There is murderer
abroad who yearly slays one sixth Of all the
human race who go down to untimely deaths.
This dread monster is called consumption.
The approach of consumption is slow and
insdious. First there is slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are not
properly assiinilated The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins TO starve
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
placed by new. The lung tissues are not
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead. In this condition they offer good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them.
This operation is promptly reversed by
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
invigorates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect. Ii builds up
and purifies the blood. 1t makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old inert mat
ter which it causes to be carried off. 1t
drives out all disease-gerns. Thousands of
cases given up as hopeless have been cured,
Miss Laura Piersel. of East Bethlehem, WASH
}ngton Co, Pa, writes "I must write yoii' tel
ling you of the great benefit derived from the use
of your Golden Medical Discovery Last stim-
ner my friends thought was surely going into
consumption. and having tried doctors with no
satisfactory results and hearing your medicine so
highly spoken Of took one bottle MY cough
left me together with all the distressing symp-
toms, and in fact the cure seemed almost mirac
tlous to all who saw me-"
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny,
;tugar.coated granules that are an unfailin2
Ind permanent cure for constitution.

An Insuperable Obstacle.

Together with tho question of boomers
for women, some of the souls which i'm
agine themselves to be filled with aesthetic
longings are making desperate effort at
another revival of the long desired knee
breeches or knickerbockers. They allege
that trousers are baggy at the knee and
liable to become dirty at the ankle. They
also hold up the knee breeches as things Of
beauty and call upon masculine fashion to
adopt them.
We do not think 1t will be done. We
need not dispute with the 5esthetes as to
the beauty of breeches themselves, as the
fatal deficiency is in the men. 1t is sad
fact that tie majority Of masculine hu
manity is subject to Indictment as being
spindle shanked. 1t is bad enough to have
the suspicion borne in upon our souls
without having it paraded before our eyes
upon the streets.
The stockings and knee breeches of the
past centuries, idealized by art, look very
imposing, but when realistic picture of
shrunk shapks is presented the aesthetic
quality disappears. Trousers have served
the nineteenth century we'll. They are the
custom of the age of steam, electricity,
ironolads and newspapers. 1t is not to
be expected that the twentieth century
will go backward on the dial of progress
and produce a generation that Is epslaved
by knee breeches, garters and shoe buckles.
