BAD TO KNOCK ASH OFF CIGARS.
Light on Mexican Manners Comes to
American Who Thought He
Was Polite,

The man who had been down in Mexico
trying to buy up car load of silver dol ars
made for the American market and guaran-
teed worth their weight in sterling silver was
in town the other day looking for customers
Incidentally he ran across a Star reporter
and offered to sell him a ton two of dol
lars. Then the man asked for a light and
the reporter, Topping the ashes from his ci-
gar, handed it over to the returned traveller.
says the Washington Star.
There is such a difference in customs, -
said the man, taking his light from the Dor
rowed cigar. Now, you notice how politely
and thcughtfully-for thoughtfulness is the
true politeness-you knocked the ashes off
your cigar when you handed it to me to
light NINE
Reporters are always polite suggested the
reporter.

handed me a cigar with the ashes on

them off and kindled my weed. 1 did that
same way. Then l began to hope some of
them would ask me for light so 1 would
show Mexico what real manners were. l got
chance one day, and when a man asked me
for light l fipped off the ashes, and, with
a saiaam at least two yards across in its

stump. He took it, of course because he

Trinity college, Dublin. his mother hav-

TOplady'S own account, his conversion
was brought about when he was only
sixteen. by hearing a workingman
preacher named Morris in a barn, at a
place called Codymain. He died of
consumption in 177S.
Toplady, besides being a laborious
student, had early employed himself IN
the diversion of Versemaking. Indeed,
he printed a little volume in Dublin in
1859, when he was only nineteen. Later
ON, while at Broad Hembury, he issued
a collection of no fewer than 419
Psalms and Hymns for Public and
Private Worship" a considerable num-
Der of which were from his own pen.
There are something like 1873 hymns
attributed to Toplady, but only very
few of these have attained to anything
like popularity. Indeed, if we except
Rock of Ages" Your Harps Ye
Trembling Saints" and perhaps "Ob-
ject of my First Desire" we shall be
safe in saying that Toplady's hymns
have quite passed into oblivion, or at
least are remembered only by the
curious in such matters
Curiously enough, this favorite hymn
was written by Toplady for con-
troversial purpose, and it was the

author desired to protest

LONDON MONEY MARKET.
Cheapness of Loans COntinues-
Japan After Gold.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The money mar
ket shows no changes, and the cheap
ness of loans continues. There is not
likely to be much rise in discount rates.
AS America is buying parcels OF Amer
lean securities in London, it is doubt
full whether the usual autumn drain or
gold will be as large as heretofore.
Japan needs gold, as she is establish
ing a gold currency in October next,
and Japanese bonds are being shipped
to London. In view of this, gold ship
ments to Japan will soon begin.
In spite of the bank holidays there
was a fair business on the stock eX-
change during the latter part of the
week. Doubtless much of the buying
was in anticipation of a lively business
in the autumn. Americans are improv-
ed and are advancing steadily in gem
eral favor with a prospect of perma-
nent buoyancy owing to active trade
developments in the United States and
the excellent crops. AtchisonS have
been in request, in hope Of per

which have risen 31a, while Atchison
preferences have gone UP 21a, and or
dinaries /. Louisville, Wabash and
Northern Pacific are active and in chief

The same thing may be said Of
Canadian Pacific. The rise here is due
to the increasing traffic and to the
Klondyke reports Grand Trunk has
been eagerly sought in view of the
half-yearly report, which is said to be
very satisfactory. Grand Trunk guar
anteed have risen 3h, and preferences
from 1 to 21a.

the most important business OF the

Alvin Kindervater, of st. Louis; sec
rotary, Herman Groth, of Allegheny;
assistant secretary, Frank Gerlich, Of
Chicago.
George Wittig, of st. Louis, deliver
ed an address In the afternoon upon
THE Object and Aims of the North
American Gymnastic Association, in
which he recommended that instead of
the two years English and German
course Of instruction at the normal
school of gymnastics in Milwaukee,
there be two separate courses of two
years duration in these languages. He
said the day had arrived when the
physical director should be more than
a mere athlete. The normal school
education, now made compulsory, is
the same as that which qualities the
teacher in the public school, the gym
nastic instruction being added to the
regular educational course. But this,
Mr.. Wittig held, was not sufficient.
The physical director. he thought.
should have the education of public
school principal. His suggestions
were accepted by the convention and
recommended for presentation to the
National Turner's convention to be held
at San Francisco next July. Two sub
jects for debate today We're laid on the
table The delegates attended a com
