THE MARKETS.
Wall SfreetReYieM

New York, Aug. 2s.-The stock market
made a remarkable show OF strength
throughout the short session today, prac-
tically the whole list tending steadily
upward with scarcely a halt. There was
profit-taking at intervals during the
morning, but the sales to realize were
absorbed at a gulp at scarcely an i'm
preston and the buying resumed and
kept up steadily until the close. Sharp
advances in the prices Of American Sc
curlties In London gave the impetus to
prices at the opening. The see-saw ef-
feet of the decline in wheat was again
strikingly manifest today and the crop
damage scare OF last week was dis
placed by renewed confidence In the yield
OF wheat and the safety of corn. The
Grangers wero largely dealt in on the
strength of this factor but they moved
over a somewhat restricted range on ac-
count of realizing sales which affected nc
very marked reactions. Total sales were
49,, 400 shares.

THE CHIN AS AN INDEX.
Can YOu Tell a Persons Character
by the Shape of His Lower Jaw?

From the St. Louis Clinique.
Protruding chins characterize men
and women of the get-there type. Sue
cessful people usually carry their chins
thrust forward, with compressed lips.
This chin, if heavy, with broad rami
and swelling masseters, indicates fight
ing blood.
A retreating chin shows lack of force,
mentally, morally, and physically;
usually of the yielding sort; soon dis
couraged; desires protection; small ex-
ecutive force. The development Of
other faculties often makes up for this
defect.

recuperative and long-lived.
Broad chins signify nobleness and
large dignity, unless vertically thin,

Square chins with little flesh denotes

gold. This was in the afternoon, just
as the corporal of the guard on the

sounded five bells.
Capt. Jas. A. King, Minister of In
terror for the Republic, brushed aside
the moderate fortune, but for some
reason or other was unable to look
away. He even sat entirely unconcern-
ed in his big office chair and if he had
any regrets did not make them evil
dent The captain smiled and said
very little.
B. F. Dillingham;, president of the
Oahu Railway and Land Company, pro-
moter of Oahu plantation and similar
large undertakings, is the gentleman
who made the proffer of gold and had
it respectfully declined. Everyone
knows that Mr. Dillingham; likes to
pay out money and he was not little
disappointed when he learned it would
not be taken on this occasion. How
ever, he perhaps anticipated that the
interview would end just as it did.
Two attorneys were present profess
sionally. They are W. A. Kinney for
Mr.. Dillingham; and Alfred w. Garter
for the Minister of Interior.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Nov. 10.-Bill
Nye dearly loved fun, but infinitely
dearer to him were his wife and his
children. They inspired his fun. For
love of them he poured out that crisp,
fresh and infectious humor that de-

only consuming desire, was to pro-

should be taken from them.

Mrs. Clara F. Nye has scarcely $40 a
week to maintain her. But she is brave
and hopeful. She wishes it to be dis

but amply able to provide for herself
and her five children.

with her to Europe her two daughters
and her three sons, that she might
place the girls at school in Germany.
She knew that she was not rich, but
she was sure she would always have
money to meet her needs.
Last Thursday she returned to her
