He must buy the best uniforms, which he doesn't pay for because he can't. know an officer who was about to be punished by the court because his uniform was shabby, so he went into debt to buy new one.

Speculation in Stocks Was Again Extreme
ly DUH Yesterday.

New York, March 11.-While specu-
lation at the stock exchange was ex-
tremely duh again to-day, the tone was
firm throughout the session. The fluc-
tuations in a majority of instances
were confined within narrow limits, but
the changes almost without exception
We're in the direction of higher prices.
This gave confidence to local traders,
especially in view of sales of internal
ton stocks by the foreigners and the
break of two cents in the price of
wheat.
The only stock in which there was
any decline to speak of, in the early
dealings, was in Tobacco, which. on
vague rumors that the directors had not
yet decided upon plan for the retire
ment of the script, fell from 1873 to
771s, a recovery to 1915 followed.

vile, Western Union and General Flee

Missouri Pacific rose q, Sugar /, Della

cent.
The inquiry for high priced stocks
was one Of the features of the day s
operations. Harlem, which is rarely
traded in, was taken at 296@300 the
highest figures for over a year past
The jump in Consolidated Gas was due
to reports that the movement for a re-
duction in the price Of gas by the state
legislature was losing force.
A further advance in prices of re-
fined sugars by the Trust had less eff
feet on the stock than expected, prob
ably for the reason that the trend OF
legislation at Washington is claimed to
be not exactly to the liking of the off,
Gals of the company.
The rise in Manhattan was occasion
ed by purchases to cover short con-
tracts and when the demand from this
source abated the stock reacted nearly
a point from the highest. Sales were
stimulated by continued offerings of the
company's 4 per cent, bonds for foreign
account.
The general list reacted x to "a per
cent, but closed firm. Net changes
show gains of u to IL per cent, Omaha
leading. Tobacco was an exception
losing 4 per cent, Consolidated Gas
jumped "a to 155.
The bond market was firm. The sales
aggregated $1,006,0O0.

ported by Prince & Whitley, bankers

THE BIG FIGHT.
Polls WOnderland Theater.

Every day that Frederic Bryton has
appeared at Polls Wonderland theater
this week has served to add to his pop
ularity with the local amusement low
ers. 1t is doubtful if in his palmiest
days as the star of Forgiven he had
so many admirers here as he now has
His entry into vaudeville, marking as it
does his keen appreciation of the popu-
lar trend in the amusement line has
served to bring him before us in a new
light. Always before a romantic actor
of the intense dramatic school, we now
have q chance to see him as a come
dian, and it must be said that he is
quite as proficient an actor along the
lines of comedy as he was when per-
forming the romantic dramas. Mana
ger Poll is entitled to much credit in
bringing Bryton here at popular prices.
Wonderland prices always 10 and 90
cents. Afternoon best reserved seats
for ladies, 10 cents. Next weeks great
feature will be the George French
troupe. the noted comedy skating band
who have been making a big sensation
at Roster & Balls New York theater.

THE Isle of Cold; or, THE Star
Spangled Dollar" a new piece, styled
a unsteady satirical burlesque," and
written by Charles e. Byrne and the
music composed by Herman Peret, was
put on at the Hyperion theater last
night. The audience was very large
1t was one of the first performances,
and things did not so as smoothly as
they may later.
The libretto contains some good ideas
and there is-some clever satire, but the
construction is so loose that these re-
deeming features are lost sight of in
the indifference Of the whole. The COM
pany is not exactly encrusted with
stars. and the few leading people strug-
gled in vain for effect. The best work
was done by William Broderick as
Croesus, e. NJ Favor, the plumber;
Seymour Hess as the Indian, and Jo-
seph Coyne as the agent. Laura Short
er was the prima donna and won sew
eral encores by her singing. Jessie Vii
lars made some fun in low-comedy
part, and Eleanor Elton did some good
work in the last act.
The chorus was quite large and there
were several specialties by the ballet
which showed careful drilling.
The, piece will be repeated this and
tomorrow evenings.

Grand Onara House.

Davis & Keogh, who own and control
many of the most popular melodramas
of the day, presented Down in Dixie
at the Grand opera house last evening
before one of the largest audiences of
the season The story of the play is
now a familiar one, and depicts life
shortly after the war; 1t is one of love
and treachery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Milt G. Barlow in the
leading colored roles are first-class.
They are always favorites here. Mr..
Scott Marble, the author of the piece,
who impersonates the squire, is the
most finished of the cast. George Ar
vine assumes his villainous role with
judgment, and his partner in crime, D.
l.. Lacy, is also good. James Mum is
well placed both as to appearance and
ability.
The Misses Mabel Paige, Jean Del
mar and Edith Ward are women Of ad-
equate ability for their parts. ]. H.
Wright and Emmett Whitney also de-
serve mention. The specialties are all
capital. The pickaninny band, the
Florida quartet and the banjo and
mandolin club are all well received. A
pretty scene is that presented when the
club sails up the river by moonlight
and lands at the plantation house, and
the cotton press is realistic.
In all, Down in Dixie is quite sat

ton.

scenic and costume, are beautiful and
lend additional charm to an interesting

an excellent cast, if such names as Ed

SCENE IN THE N A

An exciting incident occurred in the
Senate on Saturday evening when Sen.
ator Morgan was called to order by Mr..
Gallinger, who was temporarily in the
chair, for criticisirg the inaction of the
House of Representatives. Mr.. Nor
gan declared that the Speaker of the
House was enforcing an automatic trap
door rule, by which representatives
we're assembled and dispersed, and he
characterized this plan as an outrage
against popular rights. MIR. Hale of
Maine, first asked that q protest be
made against criticism against the other
House, but Mr.. Morgan %vehemently re-
peated his criticism, and MI. Hale made
a point of order against him. The tenn
porary presiding officer declared that
Mr.. Morgan must resume his seat,
and then ruled that he was out
of order. The Alabama Senator,
somewhat chagrined, was about to
appeal from the decision of the chair
when Mr.. Hale withdrew his point Of
order and further friction was avoided.
Mr.. Morgan resumed his criticism
during the tariff debate, and made the
point that Congress was not now in
session in accordance with the Consii-
tuition, the House of Representatives
having vacated it's functions. Mr..
Morgan declared that, for the first time
In the twenty years he had been in the
Senate he had been directed by the
presiding officer to take his seat. 1t
was comforting to him to know, how.
ever, that this command was given
when he was defending the constitution
against the attacks of the republican
party and its exponents in the House
of Representatives and elsewhere.

leaders Mr.. Quay succeeded in carrying
