HOW A SAILORS PAY GOES.
jack Tar sdunnders His Wages
Sometimes by Proxy.
New York Pres.


What do the jack tars in the navy do
with all their money? has often been
asked. although most people have an.
swered the question to their own salts
faction beforehand by deciding that they
spent it the first chance they got. Many
of the younger or newer ones do get rid
of their cash at the first opportunity,
but then they spend 1t themselves and
get their moneys worth, or what they
think or are made to believe is their
moneys worth. Those who are really
warm in their following seldom take all
their wages from the paymaster. They
let him keep it during the cruise and
draw per cent. interest on il until the
cruise is over Then. of course, some
spend it all before they so back to the
ship. They have a good time all in
lump, and are satisfied TO wait for ex-
travagant days again until another cruise
is over. These are the men who have
no one except themselves to care for
While on the man-of-war they need not
go short of anything, and yet not use
their money. Moreover, they viii prob
ably attend to their duties better and
have a much finer time when the cruise
is at an end.
Those who have wives or families or
relatives to care for usually send their
money home regularly and faithfully.
Often, however. their confidence Is mean
~ abused. Married men make up this
class. They send their wives comfortable
incomes, and that is all these wives care
for them for. These are the wives who
married simply for what there was in
marriage In a money way, with the addi-
tional advantage or convenience of not
having husband around much. Unlucki-
IL for women OF this class, not ali Jack
tars can maintain wives. Only chief petty
officers. or tirst-rate petty officers can af-
ford the luxury of marriage, and even
they have 10 watch out pretty keenly not
10 impair the due 10 their better halves
Many of these better halves are adven-
turesses, pure and simple, who make II
business to get acquainted with naval
men, make an impression, get married.
and then take the money sent 10 them
and do what they please-marry some one
else at another navy-yard belonging to
another ship sometimes. and keep track
of tho cruises of the vessels.
The order men seem TO fall most easily
before the adventures. And when they
discover their mistake, and have obtained
divorces and are free again. usually get
back into the same boat.

NEW YORK, July 5.-wall street Offer
ed to-day one OF Its most confusing
markets TO the outside observer or mex
perienced speculator. Yet, the opening
burst Of animation and strength, the sub
sequent reaction, and the final conflict
ing tendency Of individual stocks all had
their rational moves. At first view there
was every reason to expect a strong and
well-sustained market throughout the day,
on account OF the glorious achievements
OF the United States navy and the immi-
nence Of a capitulation by the Spanish
forces In Santiago. There was n rush
to buy at the opening, and bears who had
had the temerity to remain short OF
stocks over the triple holiday scrambled TO
cover London also bought quite eagerly.
Consequently, stocks which had recently
been under bear pressure showed the
sharpest advances. But the fact was
equally obvious that quite n number OF
stocks which have been pushed up in face
of the recent lethargy were suffering from
profit taking. After the urgent demand
from the shorts had been satisfied. the
ducing all the earlier advances, and In
many cases carrying prices wen below
last Fridays close.
1t is a measure OF the great confidence
which has been felt In Admiral Sampson
and his fleet that the actual demolition oil
the Spanish squadron should have been
met by the selling OF stocks, as an event
that had been thoroughly discounted. III
Is quite possible that the later weakness
represented in some degree dampening
of enthusiasm. caused by reports That the
projected bombardment and reduction OF
Santiago were to be postponed.
There was significance in the fact tnat
the opening OF the new fiscal year. and the
usual large release of funds were nor re-

An attraction of unusual merit, which

it is received today WI'h as much en-

the most effective plays in his repertOry.

a cross between a warf rat and a WAFER

rigan's art in a new light to those who
have come to think Of him in the various
moods and lenses of Dan Mulligan.
There is a tenderness and pathOS tC
"Old Lavender'' that makes the character
loom far above his comedy roles. All
admirers of Edwin Harrigan's art should
certainly see him in odd Lavender"
