The value of good signs, one of the
real attractive vanity, was recently
well shown by what was overheard by
some of a party who had driven into
town. There We're some girls in the
crowd and they We're on candy bent.
Where can we buy some confectionery,

one. for the benefit of the men mem

wonder, until shortly after right be-
fore their face and eyes a sign as

way or another the men, members of
that party. were "set back" some $4.00
worth at that store.

Mrs. Eustice, wife of ex- Ambassador Eustice, has some of them. Richard Mansfield, the actor has a few, and there are about fifty in Chica- go They are kept as curios and orna- ments, and they are especially interest," ing by reason of the bit of romance re- lated in the foregoing, and also by rea- son of the fact that they once belonged to the wealthiest planter in Louisiana.
 Valcour Aine, the millionaire planter, had five daughters and they all became wives of prominent men in New Or leans. Valcour Aine was in the habit of coming to New Orleans usually in November, and there he would order his banker on each annual visit to pass to the credit of his daughters twenty five thousand dollars each, in order that they might have pin money for the win ter season.
 One daughter, very estimable lady, whose son, Captain Fortier was some years ago assassinated in an election broil, is still living in New Orleans.
 There are no sons of Valcour Aine living, and the name of Valcour Aine is known now only in history, being asso- ciated with the palatial mansion and broad plantation on the Mississippi riv- er,-Nasbville American.

Yesterdays Stock Market Marked by
 Booming of Individual Stocks.

Yesterdays Stock Market Marked by
 Booming of Individual Stocks.
 New York, Sept. 2.-The character of to-days' stock market was very similar to that of yesterday, individual stocks being rushed to a high level to stimu- late and sustain the market while real izing was effected in other parts of the list. The Vanderbilt stocks were se- lected to-day for manipulation and the price of each member of the group was successively raised, while in the stocks recently favorites in the speculation heavy offerings were made to realize. The success of these tactics is shown by the small decline in the general list.
 The manipulation for rise was not in evidence at the opening, Sugar be- ing subjected to a raid which carried 1t down nearly two points. Omaha also opened three points below last nights close and Missouri Pacific was down nearly point Later in the day Northwest was taken in hand and rushed up to 1271a, a jump of points. Other advances in the Vanderbilt group were: Canadian Southern, AZ, to 60; Cleveland C.. c. and So. Louis, 3M, to 40; Michigan Central, 2A, to 110; New York Central 19s, to 1101a, and the New York, Chicago and St. Louis stocks, the common rising nearly points, the first preferred 41a, and the second preferred 31s. Chesapeake and Ohio benefited a fraction in sympathy, but it was sub- ject to pressure by realizing offerings.
 Coincident with the buoyancy in the Vanderbilts the grangers and the ac- tive railway list sunk to the lowest of the day, Rock Island, St. Paul, Bur- lington, Missouri Pacific, Atchison preferred and Northern Pacific preferred being all notably affected, the first four named to the extent of over a point. Later in the day these stocks recov- cred somewhat from the lowest, and the Vanderbilt stocks, except New York Central, declined very materially from the highest
 There were other stocks which show cd special strength all through the list, especially among the industrials. Chi cago Gas touched 105a4, new high record, but reacted a point. Pacific Mail rose 2%, but reacted A. Western Unlon also was active and strong.
 Other notable gains were: St. Paul and Duluth preferred, Pullman and Chicago Great Western preferred A, 4 points or over; Rio Grande Western preferred, 3% Colorado Fuel, Flint and Pere Marquette preferred and Minne- sota and St. Louis second preferred, ? points or over. and Cotton oil and Ore gon Navigation preferred over point. Hooking Valley preferred lost 4, Ma tional Starch second preferred 3, Omaha 2A, and Canadian Pacific point, The net changes are mixed. the grangers and some others showing small gains and many active railroad shares losses.
 There was some falling off in activity in the bond market, but prices were steady. The total sales were $2, 700 900.
 Government bonds steady; total sales $13,O ,O0e.
