Since Letter failed the outsider has

The disastrous outcome to the man
with SO many millions was q terrifying
lesson to the small bull. Explanations
did not count. Whether Letter made
egregious errors or not was Of little
consequence. The defeat, after years
campaign, OF the bull leader who for
so long seemed the greatest who had
ever arisen, took the heart from every
one who had believed in his cause. It
was only last June that the disaster
took place; about four months ago. It
seems long interval, but it is really a
short one, and it would be remarkable
If it we're not still in eve.yone's mind.
What new bull leader would now invite
the comparisons which would inevitably
be made; what banking concern would
hazard the criticism which would fol-
low any favors toward a buying cam
paign in grain? Have the losses of last
summers collapse been forgotten yeti
There must be good deal imaginative
about any bull deal. Not one advance
in twenty Is mere matter of consump-
tive demand or of actual scarcity.
There must be great deal of theory
with advancing prices; people must
forget prudence, become venturesome.

Would it not be like holding picnic
at the close of funeral to permit much
bull spirit within four months of the
Letter failure?
The present movement Of wheat to

in taking care of that property and in
also maintaining prices? Is not the fact
that such a volume Of grain is financed
and the price sustained evidence that
the volume Of speculation is larger than
the very narrow fluctuations would

Judge Day Made Positive Demands
on Spain.
London, Oct. ia dispatch to the
London News Agency from Paris says:
"Today the confer ence reached
crisis for the first time. Judge Day
presented the demands of the American
commission in threatening words. He
said that delay was the only possible
object obtainable by the persistent
efforts of the Spanish commissioners to
saddle the United States vita the Gu
ban debt, and would be tolerated no
longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any part
of the debt.
1.-THE Spaniards replied that this
placed Spain in position of repudiat-
ing or of reducing the face of the Cuban
bonds from 30 to 60 per cent, paying
only half the stipulated interest on
reduced value. Before they would
adopt either alternative they would sur
render to the United States the entire
Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would proba-
bly, be demanded, irrespective OF the
Cuban or any other debt.
"This, to the Spaniards, the first in
timation of the intentions of the Unit
ed States as to the Philippines, resulted
in whispered conference. followed by
a request for an adjournment in order
to communicate with Madrid. Judge
Day said that President Mckinley had
instructed him to demand the entire
surrender of Porto Rico, and the deliv.
cry of every town to the United States
officers before midnight, together with
the evacuation of Havana on or before
November l, when the United States
would be at the gates of the city ready
to take possession.
"There was no alternative offered In
the case of either of these demands;
the session consequently was very
brief.''

Why Teeth Decay.

The question to what extent the
alkaline earth salts in drinking water
affect the decay (caries) of teeth has OF
late been studied in several quarters.
Statistics have been collected by REESE
in several localities in Bavaria and BY
Foerberg, in Sweden. These have r.
vealed the interesting fact that the
extent of decaying teeth bears definite
relation to the hardness of the water;
in other words. to the quantity of cal
cium and magnesium salts In the earth
through which the water passes. The
harder the water the better the teeth;
the smaller the quantity Of these salts
the greater the decay of the teeth
