RIGHT TO ADVERTISE STOCKS.
Important Suit Against the Philadelphia Stock
ExchnnEe by Dick Rrothers & Co.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "A bill in equity was
fled'this morning in the Common Pleas Court by
Evans Il. Dick, Frank NJ. Dick, and William A.
Dick, trading as Dick Bros. d Co., stock brokers,
against the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
which involves an important question as to
tho extent in which stock brokers can advcr-
tise. The bill, after defining the powers and
jurit fiction of the Governing Committee in the
Stock Exchange, alleges that section l, article
IL OF the by laws OF the Exchange provides
that y member or h~alf.commission member
shall have the right, except by authority of the
Governing I olnlnlttce. to advertise in any way
that lie will buy or sell loans, bonds, or stocks,
or unlisted, which are traded in ppOn the stock

under n penalty OF 800 for the first offence.
and, for the second, suspension, at the pleasure
Of the Governing Committee
The compliments aver that they arc mcm-
bers, of the Stock Exchange. that such mem
bership is worth many thousands OF dollars,
and that their business runs up into the mil.
lions every year. Continuing, 1t is averred
that under date of Sept. 81 last they issued a
number OF circular letters recommending cert

the complainanfs were guilty Of "A violation for

for the second offence will be n suspension from

Committee.
In the accompanying Injunction affidavit it
is also alleged that other members of the tx
charge insert advertisements OF their business
in the daily papcrI and that these advertise
mcnts were not considered violations OF the by

The World as 1t Is and Wnn.

The earth, which we find today bright with varied hues. vocal with in- numerable sounds, rich in fruits and fragrant with odors, lay for an almost incalculable period of time destitute, or all but destitute, of color. soundless save for the noise of wave and tempest, and with no promise as yet of the rich profusion of vegetable and animal forms thatn0w diversity it's surface and fill it with the thrill and manifold activities of life. We often speak of man as "the heir of all the ages" but not often, probably, do we pause to realize the evolution, but seldom make any due ef- fort to grasp the plenitude and grandeur of the thought. These senses of which we have the use, and each of which brings different world within our ken, whence are they? It seems so natural to see, it seems so natural to hear, to touch, to smell, to taste, that we forget through what slow processes, by what an incalculable number of slight aecre- tions and delicate notifications these wonderful channels of knowledge and sensation have been made for us. We go back through the ages, and we come to a sightless, voiceless world.
 For period probably as long as all the rest of geological time the only forms of life were protCzoa. Sight was developed among the wonderful crusta- ceans of the silurian period, but as yet there were no organs of hearing. The first stridulation of an insect wing was heard eff it was heard) in the devonian age, the birth epoch of the first verte- brates-fshes-but long ages had to pass before the first bee hummed over a flow CT or the first butterfly huttered it's wings in the sunshine.

Our rernperatura.

The ordinary temperature of an adult when thermometer is placed in the armpit is 98.4 degrees, in the mouth 99. 5 degrees. The blood Is about 100 degrees Blood heat is marked on the thermometer at 99 degrees F. In fevers this is much exceeded, and the heat of the patient may rise to 105 degrees or 1O6 degrees. A higher temperature than this will generally prove fatal unless it descends very quickly. The highest temperatures recorded have been in some cases of rheumatic fever, when that of the body rose to 1O9 degrees and even to III degrees.

The engine, express car, the com bination baggage and smoking car, one day coach and three sleepers plunged in- to the Hudson river, and twenty lives were lost. The accident was caused by the retaining wall, which supported the track, slipping out under the weight of the train, which was moving at 8 rapid rate. Of late the tide in the Hudson riv- CT has been very high, and to this, it is
 said, was due the undermining of the wall.
