A Small

It is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners Of
the most violent disease. There 10
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-

families of Carolina; he is we'll and
favorably known throughout South

sHRINKAGE IN STOCKS.
Over $12,000,000 Caused By the Illness
of CorneliuS Vanderbilt

over $12.000,000 Caused BY the Illness
of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
New York, July 21.-The illness of
Cornelius Vanderbilt has caused a
shrinkage in Vanderbilt stocks since
Tuesday of more than S12,000,000.
Mr. Vanderbilt is not a Spectator.
but as the head af the family he con-
trolls about $1,000 miles of railroad,
properties. and his death. from the
Wall street standpoint, might unsettle
values.
Cornelius Vanderbilt became presi-
dent of the New York Central on the
death of his father in 1885, and is
associated as director and in other
capacities in the management of "a
railroad lines. He is the financial
agent of his brother, William II. Van
derbilt, as well as his sisters, Mrs.
Elliott +. Shepard, Mrs. III. Nick.
Twombly. Mrs. II. Seward Webb and
Mrs. w. d. Sloane. His ability as
manager and financial director is rec
ognized by the various members of
the Vanderbilt family, and is such
that his death would probably cause
embarrassment all round. Mr.. Depew
has generally been credited with the
active management of the Vanderbilt
properties. but members of the fami-
ly say that he has acted under the
immediate direction of Cornelius Van
derbiit and that the latter is the real
genius of the establishment.
When it was announced Wednesday
morning that Mr.. Vanderbilt had been
stricken with paralysis the shares of
the Vanderbilt roads commenced to
fall in value at an alarming rate.
The shrinkage up to the close of the
Stock Exchange this afternoon may
be summarized as follows:
New York Central (S94 100000 cap
falization), 21a per cent, or $2,35O, 600;
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
(26,O00.000 capitalization, 63s per cent
cor 1,657 800; Delaware and Hudson
(S35,000,O00, Az per cent. or 5000
500: Michigan Central (S1S, 73S. 900.
4 per cent, or S749.650; New Jersey
Central ($22,0O0,OOO), 6 per cent, or
$1.320;O00; C. c. c. & st. L.. ($27, $751;
$3.50, 23s per cent, or S734 ,56S.17; Can
ada Southern (S15,0OO,0O0), 3A per
cent, or $4S7, 800; Northwest, ($41, 000,-
OO0), p per cent, or $307, 500; st. Paul,
(S46OO0,00O, IA per cent, or $50, 1875.
Total capitalization, 1914, 725, 1886; to-
tai shrinkage, $12,076, 21S17.
In addition to the above the VAN
derbilts control the Chesapeake and
Ohio, capitalized at $1S.751, 900: Bos-
ton and Albany, $25,OO0,00O; West
Shore, $10,000,O00; Rome, Watertown
and Putnam, $6,500,000: New York
and Harlem, $10,000,000; Beech
Greek, S5,500.000, and the Consolidat-
ed or New Haven road in New Eng
land, the capitalization of which iii
about $50,000,000. These latter stocks
are inactive, except the New Haven,
which is listed on the Boston Ex-
change, and the illness of Mr.. Van
derbilt has not affected the shares.

A SwOoNING GRADUATE.
Alarming Effect of Overstudy Upon
An American Girl

Alarming Effect of Overstudy Upon
An American Girl.
Christian Advocate.
The daughter of friend of ours, the
president of college, took part in
this commencement season in an ora
torical contest of the Ladies' Literary
Union for a prize, on which six of the
brightest and most popular students
hads set their hearts. She competed
last year for the prize and secured
second place. Her theme was "a
Noble Unrest" In the middle of the
grafton she stopped. She had forgot
ten. A hush fell on the excited au-
dience. A physician present took out
his watch and watched her stand
like a statue for full three minutes,
till. with a burning face, she turned
to leave the stage, reeled and fell. A
powerful student of the other sex
caught her in his arms and bore her
off the stage to the door. In the hush
that followed she partially revived
from the swoOn, and raising herself
on the big seniors shoulders as he car
ried her to the door she struggled to
finish her Grafton, speaking slowly in
an unnatural voice with closed eyes.
Meanwhile the excitement was so
great that several other girls half
tainted, and one was carried senseless
out of doors.
The next speaker overwhelmed the
general tendency to histories by de-
livering a fine Grafton. When the last
of the speeches had been spoken and
the judges were about to retire, up the
aisle walked the presidents daughter
supported by her mother. She took
her place on the stage, began the ora
ton where she had left off, and fin
ished in fine style. She walked calm
ly off. but instantly fell into another
swoon from the effect of the strain,
and had to be carried out.
The judges, of course, awarded her
the prize, but it is a matter Of doubt
if they did wisely in so doing. fshe
had died or lost her reason the second
time. both of which she must have
risked if the account as communicate
ed to us be true, dreadful response
biIity would have been incurred by all
concerned 1t is quite probable that
the effects of that strain will be the
seeds of an awful harvest. The col
lapse resulted from general strain and
overpreparatfon.
The girl that stified her sympathies.
marched to the platform in the midst
of the first crisis and gave an Grafton
that "made the chapel ring with APP
plause" was entitled to a prize.

COUNTING THEIR CHICKENS.
Bryan Managers Claim Everything in Sight,
But, Wait.

Bryan Managers Claim Everything in Sight,
But, Wait.
ST. LOUIS, July 21.-Bryan man
ayers are in jubilant frame Of
mind. They confidently claim
their control of the convention is
practically assured. There are de-
tails yet to be worked but they be.
lieve they have won the main VIC
tory, the nomination and endorse
ment of the Chicago ticket.
The attempt Of some Of the Pop
ulists to force the withdrawal OF
Sewall and the nomination OF a
Populist for vice-president has
been defeated by the stand taken
by Bryan's friends and the posi-
tive answer of Chairman Jones, of
the Democratic national commit
tee, that such thing could not be
be tolerated.
Notwithstanding the confidence
of the Bryan managers, however,
they will not relax their efforts.
They have complete organization.
They will meet and canvass
every incoming delegation and
keep up the work of proselyting
among those already here. AL.
though they claim victory
they believe there will be
q bolt of the radicals and
q bolt of the extremists is lwhat
some OF the most level-headed say
they desire. The Democratic man.
ayers certainly are not averse to a
split which will carry out of the
convention the extreme men. They
claim the allegiance Of some of
these men would do the ticket
more harm than good. The battle
of course, will come on the floorsof
the convention, and no one now
doubts that there will be a gener.
Gus display Of bitterness and bad
blood.
The national com nittee will
wrestle with the question OF Or
ganization today. The Bryan men
have put forward General Weaver
for temporary chairman.

POPS. ASSEMBLING.
EVERY DELEGATION ARRIVING
MIKES MATTERS.
Texas is Badly Split on Bryan, Georgia
Wont Have Him at All and,
There Are Others"

ST.. LOUIS, July 2l.-No fact bet
ter illustrates the chaotic condi-
ton OF the Populist convention
than the fact that while the con-
vention is only one day distant
there is no approach to a crystal
ization of thought in favor of any
candidate for the presidency ex-
cept on the part OF the element
favorable to the endorsement Of
Bryan. The question receives oc-
casional attention, but the ma
jority of the "middle OF the road"
Populists say the question is one
of comparative insignificance.
Names are, however, occasionally
mentioned. So far the name Of
Paul Vandervort, of Omaha, ex-
commander Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, is more frequently
heard than that Of any other, but
his friends admit that he is handi-
capped by not having the endorse.
ment OF his own state, which is for
Bryan. Eugene V. Debs and Con-
gresham Towne, of Minnesota, are
also spoken of, but neither appar-
emily with serious purpose. 1t is
suggested that the discussion of
Mr.. Towne as q probability is for
the purpose OF leading up to the
nomination of Senator Pettigrew,
who has openly joined the Popu-
list party. 1t is very apparent,
however, that if the anti-Bryan
faction should prove to be in the
majority in the convention, no lit
tie difficulty will be experienced
in reaching a conclusion on this
important point.
There was lively skirmish in
the Texas delegation today over
the proposition to ask Bryan to
define his attitude toward the
Omaha populist platform, and the
question was brought up by Harry
Tracy, who proposed that a
telegram be sent to Bryan,
asking IL he endorsed the plat
form. Tracy made spirited speech
In support OF his proposition, say.
ing, in view of the talk of endors.
ing Bryan by the Populist conven-
ton, the delegates were entitled to
know how he stood with reference
to the Populist principles.
The proposition was voted down
by a narrow margin, but not until
after several members had made
speeches for and against it. Those
who opposed sending the tele.
gram took the position that it
would be an indicate matter to
put such an inquiry to Bryan at
this time.
Senator'S Pettigrew, Of South Ds-
kots, and Jones, Of Nevada, ar
rived today. Senator Jones is a
delegate to the silver convention,
He was . member Of the last inter
national monetary conference.
Hon. L. n. Stevens, member OF
the executive committee of the
national silver party, has arrived.
He says the platform will be SUBJ
stantially tho same on the finan-
cial question as that Of the Chicago
convention.
The Georgia delegation arrived
today. 81. p. Blunt, q leading
member of the delegation, said il
would be impossible to bring the
delegation to the support of Bryan
apd Sewall. The Populists Of his
state would, he said, construe the
endorsement of the national dem
ocrxtic nominee as an endorse
ment OF democratic methods in
Georgia state politics and it would
be impossible to reconcile them to
that course.
