MIR. BRYAN'S OPINION.

what is termed II post-mortem over the
recent election. 1t was II banquet intend
ed 10 do honor to the memory OF jackson
Letters sent by William j. Bryan. Hon.
Richard p. Bland, Senator Stewart and
j. X. Sovereign were read during the Gel
cbration.
Mr.. Bryan's letter is in part rs follows:
'lf we were right in the position taken
during the. campaign we are still right. If
our opponents were wrong in the cam
paign they are still wrong. Post. election
events only confirm me i'll the opinion
expressed during the campaign that no
permanent and general prosperity can be
expected under the gold standard. En-
perience is at least the test of political
theories and we can patiently abide the
practical test to which the theories of our
opponents will now be put, prepared to
take advantage Of their failure, if they
fail.

IN The WORLD Of FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Jan. THE stock market
to-day generally speaking, reflected the
efforts of powerful financial interests to
neutraliZe the effect of the reduction of
the Delaware and Hudson dividend.
Manipulate on was evident in the high
priced stocks for effect upon the general
list. y tendency toward higher level
WAS apparent at the outset, which was in
iluenced by foreign buying in this market
and the execution of orders for commits
sion account. The execution of improve
mcnt in impending railway traffic re.
turns stimulated IN inquiry for the lead
ing railroad stocks. The traders ,lsre-
gar'led il stronger market for foreign ex-
change owing to the more reassuring
Washington adviccs regarding the Cuban
question and made decided efforts to nd.
vance prices. Burlington rose IL point
on purchases for Boston account and
there was..a fair huying of the low priced
shares on orders, principally from the
West. The upward movement was
checked soon alter the ED of the first
hour by u vigorous drive at the high
priced industrials and renewal Of liuui
dation in the coalers. Business was less
active on the decline, but the pressure
was very persistent and eventually mate.

stocks. Governments ruled generally firm

1.-The fitting of glasses in hyperme-

and astigmotisnl, the discrimination be-

plainly that the fitting Of glasses to eyes
should be in the hands of the physician
or doctor alone, whose medical education
and training make him competent to deal
with these questions, which even to his
mind are sometimes difficult, if not i'm {.
probable. Beware of so.called opticians,
professors and peddlers, who travel from

nay have cause to regret them expert

A MARKET OPINION.

Sullivan Bros. g. Co. offer the following ad-
vices today:
Ii is not necessary 10 write OF this market
in detail as the bull fever is spreading along
the whole list very rapidly. This week will
witness the most disgusting gambling that
has been seen in Vail street in years. Every
fool who has money Of his own or is acting as
a trustee for some orphan will buy anything
that he may put his eye on as he enters the
office of his broker. He cares not the value y;
he wants 10 get into the mad rush; ne really
wants to lose his money. We advise every
body that is not already long of stocks Mt
a very much lower level to Keep away from
Wall street until the tariff bill is out Of the
way; then come in and sell anything short
and stay short for the fall decline. which will
surely come. Remember that Wall street
is lottery. Remember that this market is
up $50 u share Remember who the seller
is when the public is the buyer.

commenced at once. The facts in the case
are very clearly set forth in the following
extract from Col Joslin's report for the
committee on high school.
The manual training high school wns
opened In September, 1892. at that
time two classes were admitted, an enter
Ing class and a class that had already been
one year In the English high school The
building was designed Ia accommodate
IL classes OF 2i pupils each. making 2SS in
ALL but inasmuch rs classes cannot be ex-
pected TO be precisely "a in every case, the
actual number that it can well accommo-
date Is not more than 275.
The numbers Of boys IN the several
entering classes since the opening OF the
school have been as follows: 1882, rs; 1893,
n, 1894, 50: 1895, 40; 1895, lib.
IN 1873, new departure was made,
providing for a courSYs,f study for girls,
and the NUN bers Of girls in the several
entering classes have been, 1893. IL; 1894,
"a; 1895, IS; 1896. 81.
The total attendance in the opening
week of the September term in the sue
cessive years has been as follows:
lss2. lOl; 1893 l46; 1894, 1877; 1896, ia;
lS96. 26i.
OF the number attending in 1896, 100
were boys and "A were girls 1t is esti-
mated that the entering class of Septem-
Der next will lie 100 boys and 80 girls,
and the entirs attendance in Septem Der,
335 of which 2l0 will be boys and l25 will
be girls.
As originally constructed the building
was intended for boys only. The girls,
however, occupy considerable space in
their shop work not provided in the orig
inal scheme, and In September next it
seems altogether probable that the mum.
ber of pupils in The manual trainiug
high school will be considerably beyond
the capacity of tho present building for
effective work The increased demands
upon the capacity Of the building and
the fact that its structure is adapted TO
bows only render it desirable that accom-
moiations should tie Immediately pro.
vided for the girls who will desire TO en-
ter the manual training school
From these facts md from the interest
which IL now manifested by the girls to
secure the advantages which the manual
training courses of study give, it is safe
10 estimate that girls seeking admission
TO the manual training school will soon
exceed the number of boys in the oorre-
