Healthy, happy children

Healthy, happy children
make better men and wo-

and a little planning before
birth is often more import
ant than anything that can
be done after.
On the mothers health
and strength depend the
life and the future of the
children. A weak and
sickly woman cannot bear
strong and healthy children.

Illustrated articles upon the best

NEW YORK STOCK MARK 7

New York, Jan. 30.--The stock mar
ket to-day, like its recent predecessors,
was almost entirely dominated by the
manipulation of powerful speculative
leaders. The movement of prices was
irregular at times, but a strong un-
dertone prevailed in most instances.
The volume Of business was fairly
large with Sugar and Reading dividing
the honors with $4,000 and $4,000 re
spectisely, the last reckoned as full
stock. The only other shares that at
tanned noteworthy activity were st.
Paul and Tobacco. The speculation left

New York, Jan. 3O.-Cotton market
opened fairly active at an advance of
3(a5 poins and closed steady at from
unchanged to a net advance of seven
points. There were few buying or
ders in the morning from outside par
ties: but as a rule trading was contin-
ed to local ventures of a scalper order.
There continues to be general lack
of confidence as to the business out
look at large and speculation hangs
fire. The fact that receipts at New Or
leans tomorrow are estimated at -
900 to 10 900 bales, led to some liquida-
ton in the afternoon with German
houses still leading the selling. Adj
vices from the South indicate eXcep-
tional preparations for the next crop
with some localities predicting an IN
crease of IS to 30 per cent in the acre
age to be devoted to cotton.

No MiSappIIcation of Funds DiscOv-
cred az Yet.
Gloucester. Mass, Oct. S.-The people of
this city and residents of Cape Ann gem
orally were thrown into state Of great
excitement when it was learned that
George j. Marsh. treasurer OF the Cape
Ann Savings Bank, had shot himself IA
tally In the head at his summer residence
in Annisquam, this afternoon. Shortly
before II O'Clock this forenoon the cur
tains in the bank were down, the door
locked, and notice posted up bearing the
following: Bank closed balance Of the
day"
This caused comment and soon the bank
officers gathered and went into session.
At 3 o'clock, the fact of the suicide was
made known.
Mr.. Marsh blew his brains clean out OF
the skull. The body was found In the
cellar by Sturn, the banks janltor who
had been doing work for MIR. Marsh at
his house.
Mr.. Marsh handled the Addison Gilbert
estate and other property lie was prob
ably temporarily insane.
The bank commissioners, Il is said,
made an examination Of the bank yester-
day and II is all right beyond question.
Mr. Marsh. who had been treasurer for
nearly thirty years, was considered a very
shrewd manager II is the opinion OF the
officials Of other banks that the savings
bank is all right and that none OF its
funds have been msapplied. II had 49,,
OO00 deposits.
