Much Money
is Wasted

in the purchase of glasses
that prove to be of little or
no value to the purchaser.
Thisis unavoidable, when
it is necessary to buy of
spectacle peddlers or trav
cling strangers.
Avoid all risk by
being fitted by H.
M. Hitchcock, the
Optician.
Every pair of glasses fur
nished by him is guaran-
teed to be of practical value
in improving sight or in
relieving eye-strain.
Privilege of re-adjustment
is given when needed,
which places the perma-
nent expense at the mini
mum of cost.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, April 3.-The market for
securities was irregular throughout the
day, and the trading was on a small
scale. The total transactions amounted
to e, 927 shares, including 1000 Western
Union. $500 Jersey Central, and $500
Leather preferred The opening figures,
as a rule, were below last nights finals,
but the decline, except in isolated cases,
was confined TO exceedingly narrow
limits. There was little pressure to sell
Jersey Central. Western Union, and
Leather, preferred, and these issues lost
about a point or so. Western Union
was heavy, on the Sage interview pub
lished yesterday in regard to the future
dividend policy of the company forecast
ing a per cent. DIVIDEND. Jersey Central
continued to be adversely Influenced by
the poor condition of the coal trade. and
the likelihood Of reduction in the divi-
dend rate.
In the last hour Of the session, attempts
were made by the smaller shorts to
cover contracts. This impaired "a firmer
tone to speculation, and the early loss
was generally recovered. The Wander
bits displayed the greatest strength,
New York Central advancing a full point,
TO 100 5-8. Delaware and Hudson was the
firmest among the Anthracite coalers,
rising TO within a fraction Of l03.

steadier, on the announcement Of the re-

Philadelphia.
The market at the close was firm in
tone Net changes show gains OF 1-4Q1
per cent. in some instances, and losses
OF about as much I'm others. Leather,
preferred, lacked support throughout,
and closed weak, with a net loss OF 81
per cent.
While the weekly bank statement was
disappointing. it had no special influence
Oh speculation. A contraction in loans Of
81 .745 800. rejecting the inactivity of gene
raj business, was considered the most
unfavorable feature Of the exhibit. \

FEVER SITUATION DOWN SOUTH
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK NOW Al
NEW ORLEANS.
Most Malignant Cases Exist in the
Negro Districts and These Are
Being Carefully Watched to Pre-
vent Any Spread of the Plague
Reports From Elsewhere.

New Orleans, Sept. ia brighter
outlook for New Orleans is evident to-
night, so far as the fever situation is
concerned. The reports to the board
were of a most encouraging nature. In
stead of 20 cases requiring investigation
there were only ten to be looked into
today, and Of these only three We're
pronounced suspicious, and one declared
yellow fever. The latter case is sit
uated in a thickly populated negro dis
trict, and special pains is being taken
by the board to quarantine and sani-
tate the neighborhood. The doctors
have been unable to determine the Or
igin of the other suspicious cases re-
ported today Tonight it was given
out at the board of health that the case
in the negro district is the most serious
at present existing. President Oliphant
of the board of health and President
Britain of the council, said tonight
that the chances of crushing out the
disease had infinitely improved. A ia
tai case of genuine yellow fever deyel-
oped in the very heart of Biloxi today.
There have been altogether % cases of
yellow fever in Biloxi. with only one
death, that of today. At Ocean Springs
no new cases have been reported.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-09-17

Washington, Sept. 16.-The president
was very busily engaged at the White
House today Several members IF the
cabinet were in consultation with him
during the morning. Congressman and
other distinguished visitors called and
all day long the ante-chambers were
thronged with office seekers. Among
those who saw the president We're Sec
retaries Sherman, Bliss, AlgeT, Assist
ant Secretary Day, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and Senator Platt.
It is learned today, from absolutely
authoritative sources that the state
ments published to the effect that Sen
ator Platt has urged Secretary Bliss to
accept the Republican nomination for
mayor of Greater New York, and that
President Mckinley has added his ap-
peal to that Of the New York senator
are utterly without foundation. Score
tary Bliss, it transpires, did not par
ticipate in the conference between the
president and Senator Platt and other
New Workers yesterday. Some months
ago Senator Platt urged upon Secretary
Bliss the advisability of accepting the
nomination.
1t is also learned that about that
time the moving spirits Of the Citizens
union made practical tender of the
nomination to Secretary Bliss. but he
declined then to entertain the propo-
sition of either the regulars or the in
dependents.
