which showed in spite of the prevalent
inactivity. The situation at Chicago
and Minneapolis and the idea that the
collapse of inflated or weak banks and
business enterprises may cause further
and more serious trouble there has been
held steadily before the street, while the
unfavorable character Of railroad earn
!ngs returns, in particular the st. Paul
railroads November statement of gross
and net revenues. furnished bearish ar
guments in the market at large. In spite
of these facts, prices have displayed
considerable resistance and bearish at
tacks fail to dislodge long stocks. Liqul-
dations seem to have been completed
and sureties have passed into strong
hands. while there is disposition to
look forward to a better speculative sit
uation with the progress of the new
year.
Among the factors which have con-
tributed to create such sentiments is the
more favorable tenor of Washington
news in regard to the Cuban situation
and other matters. Washington, in fact.
supplied some buying in sugar stock on
the apparent theory that any revision Of
the tariff may result to the benefit OF
refining interests. 1t may be mentioned
in this connection that some attention
is paid to the prospect of an extra ses-
sion of congress after March 4th, but
sumed a form discouraging to speculat-
i've activity. Europe has taken little
part in our market, but the completion
of the fortnightly account there. and the
fact that money there shows indications
of becoming easier after January 1st,
must be reckoned among the favorable
influences of the moment. In this coh-
nection also 1t must be noted that the
street is at last awakening to the i'm
portance of our favorable trade bal
ances for the past year. very striking
evidence of which is afforded by the
weakness of the exchange market, in
spite of the easy condition of the money
market.
With reference to the western finan-
cial troubles, it may be said the dispo
sition of this market to disregard them
arises in part from the fact that there
has been practically no disturbance of
money rates or loans on that account.
and Furthermore because of the evidence
that the disasters themselves have been
in the main confined to concerns which
We're manifestly unsound to the core.
Investments are for the moment quiet
though bond values are well maintained
and a good deal of stress may be laid
upon the expected developments of a
much more pronounced investment de-
mand.
Sugar has been the leading feature of
the market. The interest taken in the
details of the conflict between the sugar
people and the great Arbuckle coffee
house has not had much influence on
speculation and manipulation in the su :.
gar company's stock.
Far more Importance in this connec-
tion was attached to the hearing before
the ways and means committee at Wash
ington of the sugar producing inter-
ests and Washington purchasing, based
on reports that favorable view might
be taken of the claims of the refiners
to protection against sugar from coun-
tries that pay an export bounty resulting
in buying and short covering.

CARRIED SKELETON KEYS.

A tough little street gamin named
Johnny Rosenstein was taken into Gus
tody last night at the newsboys' home
and locked up in Jail. Johnny is bad
boy and has been in limbo before for
petty offenses, but evidently thinks of
branching out to wider fields, as in his
pockets were found half dozen skele-
ton keys, with which almost any ordi-
nary lock could be opened. The matron
of the home is desirous of seeing Johnny
put where he can do no harm, as he is a
disturbing element in the place, and re-
quested that the detective take him
away and see if he cannot be sent to
Whittier, where he can be properly re-
strained and taught better lessons than
he is liable to learn on the streets.

Where can you find In the annals of
medicine such complete victory over the
old school of nauseating and drastic reme-
dies? few years ago Professor Munyon.
a man of giant intellect, benevolent pur-
poses and determined character, unfolded
his new school of medicine through the
medium Of the press to the public. Con-
fident in the honesty of his mission, he
asked the citizens of the United States to
test his remedies absolutely free" and
thereby made the public a jury to decide
upon their merits, What has the verdict
been? Ask Washington and the other
states of the Union--one continued success
throughout this vast continent. Thousands
of sufferers who never knew what 1t was to
be free from pain bless the name of Mum
yon, the modern benefactor of the human
race.
The unquestionable merit Of Prof. Mum
yon's remedies has stood the test for the
past five years, and now the name of Mum
yon Is household word in every family
in this country. proving without doubt the
efficacy of his cures and the honest victory
he has won against overwhelming odds.
TO the skeptical we would say: If you are
careless regarding your own health have
mercy on the little ones who know no bet =
ter and do not commit the sin of neglect by
continuing to give remedies that will
doubtless harm them in after life when
you have within your reach. at a nominal
price. cures that will effect the desired re-
suit without injury to the system.

Experience of a Druggist

rheumatism in the muscles of the arms and
legs to such an extent that at times was
unable to enjoy the free use of my limbs.
Being pharmacist l had recourse to the
popular remedies prescribed by physicians.
but the result was entirely unsatisfactory.
My attention was then called to Munyon's s
rheumatism cure through a customer
who inquired for bottle of the pellets and
l decided to take a few doses myself in or
der TO test their efficiency. Before I had
consumed one bottle / realized that the
lingering pains had left my arms entirely
and had become barely perceptible in other
parts of the body / continued the treat
ment. and am satisfied that rheumatism in
the future Will be among the least of my
ills. The sale of your remedy is also an
evidence of what it is accomplishing in
this city. From a few bottles my sales
alone have increased three fold. and keep
in stock a full line of all your cures in order
to meet the demands of my customers The
majority of those who have tested the
merits of the rheumatic pellets inform me
that they have been greatly benefited.

WASHINGTON UNEMPLOYED
An Analysis of the orkingman's
Situation at the National Capital.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The Washing
ton Times has made an investigation of
the labor situation at the capital and
today states the result of its findings.
The Times says:
1t is much the better plan to stick
to the truth rather than to suppress it
in the interest of celebration and booms
we should like to be able on Labor
Day to present a picture of our wage
earners waxed fat and kicking with
prosperity and plenty, but our inveSti-
cation into the subject during the past
week has only too clearly developed the
fact that the army of unemployed in
Washington is much larger than it is
comfortable to contemplate at this
season of the year. According to the
data gathered by our reporters it seems
probable that at least 5000 able bodied
men in the District of Columbia are
out of employment with diminishing
chances for securing any as the season
advances
Most of them are the sole support of
their families. An analysis of the con-
ditions in the different trades, which
has been presented to our news column,
is familiar to those Interested Such a
situation is serious. 1t is true that
there is a prospect for improved times
and business later in the autumn; but
the extent of that Improvement and its
immediate effect upon the laboring
class in Washington are yet prOblemat-
ical
1.-The number of mechanics and day
1abOrers unemployed this year is larger
by several hundreds than it was last
year at this time; also, than it ever has
been before. This statement is made
after careful investigation among the
people themselves, among the builders,
the few manufacturing plants and the
stores, and after talks with officers of
organized labor in the city. There are
among the organized labor at least B.
900 fully out of work. Among the un-
organized laborers there at least 5000
without work. These figures do not in
cIude people who have been employed
as clerks in the departments, in stores
who have failed, in small business ven
lures of their own, and larger number
of colored people, especially, who are
subsisting from hand to mouth on odd
jobs, and who cannot be counted.
''It may be safely stated that the
whole number of family supporters
now without employment in the city is
at least 5000.
''These people have from $4,000 to 4o,-
900 men, women and children dependent
in various stages of destitut1on from
living on savings to very near starVa-
ton.
'.Fifteen hundred bricklayers, 200 tin
ners, 25O printers, 1000 engineers, 25O
painters, 500 carpenters and 3OO plaster
ers are now out of work, or 1000 out OF
less than 5000 of all the men IN these
trades in the city.
This test is a perfectly fair one, as 1t
gives the figures on printers and paint.
of all the trades at present, as we'll as
the bricklayers and plasterers, who are
worse off than most of the others. AS
thus shown, there are now less thah
half of these people at work.
ssThese bare figures are most startling
in themselves. especially if taken as
of the whole field OF Ia
bOr.'

EXCESSIVE SMOKING
Results in a Coincidence and a Reun-
ion of Old Friends.

Two men following the same line of
business, who had not seen each other
for period of 20 years, met in the Of
flee of a Topeka surgeon, whom both
had come to this city to consult, Mon
day evening. On converSing together
each found that the other was appar-
emily afflicted in the same manner as
himself, and on examination by the
surgeon this was discovered to be the
case. Both went to Christ hospital
that night and had similar surgical Op-
erations performed together.
The two men were Mr.. w. J. Tod, the
we'll known stock raiser of Maple Hill,
and Mr.. William Johnston, a prominent
cattIeman of Las Animas, Col, and the
operations consisted in the removal of
the uvula or pendant lobe of the soft
palate. Both Mr. Tod and Mr.. john
ston are inveterate smokers, and it was
the continued use of tobacco which ag-
gravated and enlarged the uvula and
caused them to experience choking
sensations.
When the two men reached the hos
pital Mr.. Johnston sat out on the porch
while Mr.. Tod went into the opera ting
room and had his uvula removed with
a sharp-bladed instrument made after
the fashion of a forcepS. The opera
ton consumed but a few minutes, and
when Mr.. Tod came out Mr.. Johnston
went in and the operation was repeated.
Then the two men came down town
and talked over old times until train
time, when both left for their respect
i've homes.

THAT FRENCH CABLE.
Washington Officials Agitated Over
the Question of Landing a For
eign Company's Wires.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 9.-Omcials
of the state department and of the at
torney generals office have been con-
ferring relative to the French cable
which lands at Cape Cod.
The cable was first laid under author
ity given by the president, through
Secretary Evarts, in 1879, and recent
ly the French company has been re-
placing this line with new copper ca
BILE.
Information received here today in
dicates that the last link in the line will
be completed in mid-ocean in about ten
days.
The American connection at Cape
Cod is completed. The question is as to
the right to land a cable of foreign
company. There appears to be much
doubt as to the law. The French COM
pany has urged that the line was a re-
newal of the old line and not a new line.
1t has also pointed out in a comrnun1-
cation to the senate committee on COM
merce that the line was of strategic
Importance to the United States, as 1t
is said to be the only cable which does
not pass over British territory.
