AN ACTIVE STOCK MARKET
Many Evidences of Extraordinary
Excitement and FeYerishness.
Trading D'sc.oses Extensive Liquid !.
tion and Manipulation TO Cause
Lower Range of Prices.

New York, Sept. Z. Following upon the
was resumed upon tine stock exchange
today on an animated scale There was
a natural interest taken III tife course of
the London stock market over the holiday,
particularly ip the American department,
and when 1t was seen that decided gains
had been made there, very lively opening
was anticipated These expectations
were fully realized, the initial dealings
being unusually active, with many eys-
,lences OF extraordinary excitement and
feverislncss.
The only contributions in the way OF
news over the holidays were the state
nlent Of earnings made upin the meantime
by large number of companies and the
outbreak OF yellow fever i'll Mississippi.
Tile market after the opening dealings
developed pronounced irregularity, the
trading disclosing not only extensive liqui-
dation. but also evident ma nipulation
designed TO bring about lower range OF
prices. The last feature OF the dealings
was ostensibly based upon the outbreak
OF yellow fever already referred to, al
though tlis argument for reaction could
hardly have been advanced in good faith
when the season Of the year and the 10
cality OF the epidemic are taken into ac-
count
On the other hand, the heavy pur-
chases made here by houses with Euro
pean connections We're also regarded with
souie suspicion as TO their authenticity, the
more 80 rs tile American division was the
only firm feature of the London market and
an advance in he discount rate of the I'm
perial Bank or Germany was thought 10
foreahad3w similar action this week by
the Blnk of England. An advance in Balti-

covering Of Il long standing short interest,
although even that company cannot fail

apparent n the traffic returns of the roads
Of the country at large. IN the final deal

market, and the reccssions of the forenoon

The bond market was not relatively as
active as the stock market. as the dealings
there were rather featurelesS.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purposc,
namely, d receptacle for the urine, and as
such it is not liable to any form OF disease
except by one of two ways The first way
is from imperfect action OF the kidneys
The second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So
the womb, like the bladder, was created for
one purpose, and il not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or disease, except
very close to the bladder; therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience manifested
in the Kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness CT womb trouble of some
sort. The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty four hours;
bladder trouble. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney and bladder remedy, Is

Oakland, December 27.-Alfred Win
slow, one of the Oldest residents of Oak
land, died at his homo on Church street,
Sunday morning, having reached the ad-
vanced age Of "a years. The cause of his
death was heart failure which was prob.
ably brought about by severe attack OF
erysipelis, from which he had been suffer-
ing for several days.
Mr.. Winslow came to Oakland 81 years
ago, from Cape Cod where he was one of
q family of ten children. He first en-
gagged in the tanning business in which
he was very successful. Later he estab-
lished the business which he has since
carried on with his sons. He has held
various public offices. having been select
man for two successive terms. He was
the principal mover in the building of
the Memorial hall and the one who con-
ceived the idea and pushed it through

salist church and ever since he came to

Washington, Dec. 27s-The most pro-
found distress prevails among many
thousands of poor in Cuba. Starvation
not only impends but is an actual fact.
Inc president has been informed of the
iacts from sources whose credibility
cannot be doubted. He has gone to the
length of his constitutional powers in
calling the state of affairs to the atten-
ton of the American people. The state
department has used all of its authority
TO mitigate the conditions there and the
letter to the public sent ont by Secretary
sherman the day before Christmas
pointed out the way for relief. Today
nVe Thousand dollars was received by
assistant Secretary Day from certain
charitably disposed persons whose names
are not disclosed and this sum will be
remitted by telegraph tomorrow to Con
sui General Lee for disbursement among
the more pressing cases. 1t is hoped by
the department of state that the Ameri-
can people will come to the relief
promptly with subscriptions of money,
clothing and supplies. The machinery
for distribution has been provided for by
lhe state department aud Consul General
Lee has undertaken to give personal at
tention to tht alleviation of distress by
the distribution of the gifts of the
American people. The Ward line steam
ers plying between New York and Ha-
vana, it is said, has undertaken to for
ward any contributions of goods to Gen.
Lee at Havanasand it is believed that the
Americans will do their part by carrying
the goods free to the seaboard The
state department directs that supplies
be sent direct to Gen. Lee either in mon
ey by drafts or check or goods.
Gen. Lee tonight cabled the state de-
partment just what is wanting at this
Juncture and his list is as follows Sum-
mer clothing, second hand or otherwise,
principally for women and children;
medicine for fevers including large
proportion of quinine; hard bread, corn
meal, bacon, rye, lard, potatoes, beans,
peas, salt fish, principally cod fish, and
canned goods, especially condensed milk
for the starving children. Money will
also be useful to secure nurses, medi-
cines and for many other purposes.
