MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Day's Dealings In All
the leading Stocks.

New York, Sept. f2-There was a con-
tinuation of apparently urgent liquida-
ton on the Stock Exchange, this morn
ing, which speedily wiped out the recov-
cries of Saturday and carried prices
sharply below the lowest level of last
Friday for nearly all standard stocks
But the pressure was relieved by noon
and there was a disposition to pick UP
stocks quietly and to accord support to
weak spots, notably st. Paul. The deal

dividend payers also became quite a fea-
ture, indicating a supply of money for in
vestment, notwithstanding the stiffness
of the local call money market.
specialties caused the market to ease
off again before the close but last prices
Of the railroads were at sharp recover
les in many cases from the lowest.
Nevertheless, marked net losses resulted
from days trading owing to the sever
ity of the pressure early in the day.
Money rates are easy at interior points
and there is even buying of commercial
paper In the New York market by West
ern banks. There were rumors all day
of engagements of gold for import, but
none of these was confirmed. The easier
tone of the money market near the close
and the quiet recovery in the stock mar

The bond market was dull and showed
some weakness in sympathy with stocks.

The Game Of Life.

This life Is like game of cards,
Which mortals have to learn;
Each shufIles, cuts. and deals the pack,
And each a trump doth turn.
Some bring high card to the top.
And some do bring a low;
Some hold a, hand quite full of trumps,
And some but few can show.
In playing. some throw out their trumps,
Their winning cards to save
Some play the king. same play the deuce.
But many play the knave;
Some play for money some for love,
Some play for worldly fame;
But not until all hands are played
Can any count his game.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules the hour;
No thought of sorrow checks our joys
In beautyS rosy bower.
We laugh. We dance. sweet verses write,
Our cards at random play.
And while the heart remains on top
Our LIES a holiday.
When diamonds chance to rule the pack
The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won
By players, young and old.
Each one. intent upon the game,
Doth watch with eager eye
That he may see his neighb0r's cards
And beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps. look out for war
On ocean and on land:
For awful deeds of blood are done
When clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead of gold.
And dogs AZ war are freed;
And sad it issfOr any land
When clubs are in the lead.
Last game ofaii IS when the spade
Is turned by hand Of time.
He waits the end OF players games
In every age and cline;
No matter how much each one wins
Or how much each one saves
The spade VIII reckon up the game
And dig the players graves.

The work just begun of the commits
sion. which. is to provide government
for Hawaii will attract great interest
when 1t Is finished. To considerable
extent the various islands and groups
of islands which the United States will
soon control have different sorts Of
needs and capabilities, and. 'conse:-
uuently, will require different sorts Of
treatment. In all of them. however,
the government will have to be some
modification of the colonial form. and
Hawaii's with the needed changes
to meet local peculiarities, may do for
some of our other island possessions.
The Hawaiian commissioners are pio-
neers in their field, and if they meet
their, opportunities and responsibilities
successfully they will have secure

Bryan's desire to so home to take
part in the canvass in his state was
expected, of course. First, last and all
the time Bryan is a. politician. He is
the only political colonel in the army
and his military. service can bring him
no glory. On the other hand. absence
from home VS. particularly dangerous
for him in those days of shifting politi-
cal issues when the poor Popocrats
can not tell where they are "at." 1t
would be very easy for his party to
forget Bryan If he should be out of its
sight for a few months now. This Is
= peril which he Is anxious to avoid.
Bryan has a few prominent alleged
friends yet, among them is Ex-Governor
Stone, but Stones betrayal of Bland in
the convention of 1896 is naturally cal
culated to make the Nebraskan dis
trustful of the Missouri Popocratic
boss. In these days Bryan has to be
mis- own campaign manager il he in
tends to put up fight in the conven-
zion OF 1900.

the sword; and the old soldiers under

Army in Cincinnati. last week. On the
contrary there were warm and high
words of praise from the veterans, for

all that men could do has been done.

Army Death Rates from Disease.

The death rate in the United States
army, regulars and volunteers in
cluded, for the first four months of
the war is ga for each thousand men.
This being figured on basis of 100000
men in the army. thousands of whom
enlisted in June. it would perhaps be
more accurate to average the service Of
all as three months, thus making
monthly death rate of 1.S per thousand
or PIG per thousand for the year. Now
that death rate is what all of this ex-
aggerat ton and lurid senEationalism is
about, and yet If you will turn to the
general report on vital statistics issued
by the government you will find the
annual death rate in Chicago to be 20.2.
Havana 45.7, London 2l.2, Boston 23.5,
and st. Petersburg 51.4. In other
words, the death rate in our army of
unseasoned soldiers during the first
four months of the war including the
arduous campaigns of Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippine islands has
been less than, the death rate in the
city of Boston and most of the cities
in the country.
1t is hard to see our brave soldiers
dying of disease, but that has been the
experience of every nation. and is an
inseparable part of war. The British
army is cited as a model of efficiency ia
all of it's departments, and yet the
records show many years in times of
peace when the death rate in the army
of England was twice what it has been
in our army during times of war.
During the peninsular war the British
army lost each year from disease 113
per Thousand, and from wounds re-
ceived in action SO per thousand. The
average annual death rate in Eng
lands army from 1903 to 1872 was II
per Thousand from disease and nine
| from wounds. In July, August and
| September of 1854 the British army in
Crimea lost at the rate of 293 men per
thousand from disease, and during the
next three months the loss was at the
annual rate of 443 per thousand from
disease. During the first three months
of 1866 the death rate in England 3
Crimean army was such that had il
continued for a year 1t would have
BEEN 912 men out of every thousand.
and 98 per cent. OF those deaths were
from disease. During the entire two
years and a half Crimean campaign
the death rate WAS 232 per Thousand ~
which 2O2 were from disease and 80
from wounds received in action. In
1861 when the British troops were home
and were enjoying peace. the annual
death rate per thousand from disease
was Slower four times what it has
been in our army during times Of war.
In the army of the Union during the
first year of the Civil War the death
rate was So per thousand, and. of these
81 per thousand were from disease.
On June 80. 1863, the Union army had
in the hospitals 1876 men out of every
thousand. s,.,.t Gt- s-
The showing makes it apparent tina:
Cur country has been fortunate tina!
the death rate in the army has MT
been higher. and that instead of con-
demning everyone connected with the
war department for the large death
rate we ought to congratulate ourselves
that it is SO low. ~

Needed the Plumber.

We heard of Thanksgiving turkey
that had to be cooked over a small
artificial burner that required to APP
ply and do the work all the meehani-
cal expertness of large household.
This means of cooking was resorted
to because the cook got no natural
gas through the cookstove. The pro-
cess of getting the turkey ready was
of course, laborious and required pa
thence more than plenty, for it was
like roasting it by means of match,
but the bird was done to turn final
ly, and was OF course enjoyed.
The day after the feast the man of
house was sent for plumber, and it
was not long till two pipe doctors ap-
peared on the scene; and they went
faithfully over the patient diagnosing
the case with hammers and wrenches,
hoping to find the structure. Finally
one of the men noticed a valve in the
main, and dropped lis tools, likewise
a remark to the effect that it might be
we'll to open that valve and he thought
that would fix it. Well, it did; and ev-
erybody felt sheepish, to be sure.

by giving reception in

forty-two of the friends of the three

In honor of the occasion the hall
had been beautifully decorated with
flags, bunting, ivy and tissue drapery.
The partners for the grand march
were selected by giving to the ladies
cards bearing names of states and to
the gentlemen cards bearing the
names of the capitals. Partners for
supper were found by matching Curl
ously cut slips of paper, and the party
did ample justice to the dainty re-
freshments which were served. The
occasion was a happy one which the
participants will long remember.

the heavy rains added to the discom-
fort. The boys were so fatigued that
they would fall asleep with mud and
