nent worker for Il long time, officiated.
assisted by Rev. DR.. Lowrie. The inter
ment took place at Rock Greek Cemetery.
Many friends visited the late residence
of Judge CIaughton, No. 1740 T street
yesterday morning, before the body was
removed to the church. 1t lay in the
front room, the casket being covered with
great mass OF purple and white floral
tributes. At IL O'Clock, DR.. Radcliffe Of
fered short prayer here, Immediately
before the march to the church began.
The church was filled with friends of
the deceased, members of the Bar Asso-
citation, students of the National Uni
versity Law School, of which Judge
Claughton had been the dean, and mem
bers Of the church, who had know him SO
intimately and learned to love and respect
him SO much.
Rev DR.. Lowrie offered the Introductory
prayer. Two hymns, Lead, Kindly
Light" and Nearer, My God, to Thee
were surg as tenor solos. DR.. Radcliffe
made an address overfull of tenderness and
admiration for the qualities of the deceased
DR., Radcliffe alluded to the fact that
Judge C'aughton. not twenty-four hours

last Thursday evening, and had spoken
on the subject Of the future life, with the
text: In my Fathers house are many
mansions; go to prepare place for you y

Ciaughton was the last face of the con-
gregation he had seen before leaving for
his vacation, little thinking that he would

at his house, and that they had then dis.
cussed future plans of their own and for
the church.
DR.. Radcliffe alluded very tenderly to the
charity, the kindness and the great Chris
tian faith of the deceased d, paying him g.
high tribute. He spoke at this point of the
accident
The greed of corporations" he said,
makes life of but little worth, sacri-
fices everything to speed and to hurry
This should accentuate that precaution
direction and control should be exercised
all the time. Instead of being so cheap,
human life should be the dearest thing In
the world, as it is in the eyes of God"

STOCK MARKET BUOYANT
A Steady Advance in Prices All
Along the Line.
Information That Reports of Crop
Damage Were Exaggerated
Causes Il Drop.

New York, Aug. 23.-sales of stocks
today aggregated 437 ,343 shares, and of
bonds S3,73S,000 par value.
The chief charac teristic of the days
stock market was the return Of the
buoyant tone which ked the trading
up to the recent temporary reaction. Prices
advanced throughout the list. Southern
Railway, Chesapeake and Ohio and Louis
Vile and Nashville advancing along with
the granger shares, which group, however,
logically retained the leading position in
the market.
The days movement was apparently the
result of the buying of stocks, which set
i'll during the closing dealings on Satur-
day and was continued vigorously toda y.
In general way the grain situation was
the dominant influence in the trading,
interests operating III the market have
become satisfied as to the real siLua ton
in the spring wheat sections and have
arrived at the conclusion that such da rage
to the crops as has occurred has been
quite offset by the decided advance in
grain prices. Furthermore, with tie traf-
fic returns now being made by the rail-
roads in all sections of the country and
those predicted during the eXt fe W
weeks, together with the constantly ac-
cumulating evidence as TO the extent of
the business revival, it is hard TO keep
down the feeling Of confidence which un-
deriies the excite ment ia all the specula
tive markets.
The course or prices in the grain market

together with the advices received at
the local offices Of the granger roads
is sufficient evidence that last weeks
news Of crop damage was, 90 say the
least, exaggerated.

AN AVENUE RIDERS VIEWS
Some Suggestions as to the Rules
Governing Wheelmen.
z ropOsition That Bicyclists Use
Pennsylvania Avenue as Two
Streets Criticised.

Responding TO the invitation of the Com
rnissioners for suggestions as to proposed
bicycle regulations a wheelman, signing
himself An Avenue Rider" submitted the
following letter:
You lately caused the publication of
d request for suggestion and criticism
OF "a draft Of some proposed bicycle regu-
lati0us, one OF which contains the pro-
vision that Pennsy ylvania avenue shah
Continue to be considered as TWO streets
separated by the car tracks.
Il would most respectfully suggest a
further consideration of this clause, for
the following reasons: Local traffic, by
which / mean such as is arriving, de-
parting or standing at the curb, oc-
cuqies the curb side of each Of the two
streets, particularly of the north one,
hence lOng-Gistance traffic must seek the
center OF the Avenue, alongside the car
trac ks There q bicyclist has ON his
right o large number Of cars coming in
tie opposite direction, while on his left
are tire bicycIists who are using the
same bicycle path alongside the track,
bu5 are coming in the opposite direction
IN defiance OF the law, but in conformity
with general custom. These two clements
of confusion are in addition 60 THAI which
is natural TO a much Travelled thorough
fare, and, in my opinion, add to the
danger of collisions or delays.
IF the rule could be applied 10 the
Avenue which is i'll operation upon the
other streets Of the city, such as Ninth
and Fourteenth, and upon practically all
other streets and roads OF the United states.
bicycles would travel beside the track of
the car bound in the same direction as
themselves, passing car at close quarters
would be comparatively rare and not dan
gerOus, owing to the nearly equal speed
OF the car and the wheel in the same di
rcctiOn, and there would be no confusion
between those who are trying TO obey
the law and those who are either ignorant
OF it, or disregard its peculiar provisions,
OF whom there are many. There would
be, in addition TO the more or less con-
fused local traffic along the curb at each
side, two main streams OF vehicles, sep
aratec by a line midway between the
two car tracks, instead OF as at present
six, two Of cars and four Of other ve-
hicles."

Chicago, Aug. 23.-The wheat mar ket
today opened very irregular, all the way
from 80 IL TO 81, with very little trade
in September at the start. Foreign news
was all strong, and there was no change
in the character of outside news. COnti-
mental advices confirmed all that had
been previously written in regard to Euro
pean requirements; III fact, some of the
cables We're more emphatic than heretofore
as to their reliance on America. a reac-
ton after the sharp advance is only
natural. The principal selling was done
by prominent traders who have been on
the long side and took the opportunity
to realize large profits. There is nothing
new TO say in regard to the future.
The wants of foreign countries will be
sufficient to give us good prices, but
there is big margin between 65 cents
and 81, and we would advise going SLOW
on the long side at the present advance.
