Glen EchO-"The Daughter of the
Regiment"

Glen EchO-"The Daughter of the
Regiment
In these days of ''wars and rumors
Of wars" nothing could have been more
appropriate than last nights rendering
of The Daughter of the Regiment" by
the Jaxon Opera Company at Glen Echo.
A goodly portion of local amusement
lovers seemed to realize this fact, for
they turned out en- masse, filling the
big amphitheater comfortably, and APP
plauding nearly every number in the
opera.
The Daughter of the Regiment" is
one of those tuneful works that in some
way or other is lost in the lapse of
time. and brought only al rare intervals,
when some musical antiquary, eager for
additions to his repertoire, remembers
its existence. Ii is only then that the
public notes the picturesque qualities of
the piece and its general beauty. DON
nizettis opera abounds in daintily-catchy
airs that are sure to fill the mind of its
auditors for days after they hear il. The
story is novel, and often delightfully."-
quaint, while the chances for excellent
work, both vocal and histrionic, are nu-
merous.
The work of the company last night
vas, as usual, of the highest order. The
offering was cast to advantage, and the
individual work could hardly have been
improved upon. Six of the principal parts
were in the hands of Payne Clarke, Mile.
Diard, William Carleton, Louise Engel,
Winfred Goff, and Bertha Lehman. The
chorus looked attractive and sang we'll
while the staging given the piece was
all that could have been desired 1.-The

Yesterday was one of the off, days
in the boom of the stock market. There
was a good advance in the morning
hours, but it was not well held during the
later trading. London bought and the
opening in New York followed this lead.
The weakening later seems to have been
profit-taking venture for the most part.
The announcement made by some of the
news agencies that the War Department
had issued orders suspending hostilities,
although it was not the truth, had the
look of truth for time and made the
street almost believe that the culmina-
ton of the peace negotiations had come.
Those who had been trading for this
alone took profits then and caused some
what of sag. 1t was noticeable, how
ever, that there was no selling by the
buyers of the last two weeks who have
gone into the market for investment. This
shows the real strength of the market
more than any temporary f1uctuation The

VIII at So a flonth Means.

When DR.. Cowden offered free menth 70
all patients taking up a regular course of treat
ment, he felt satisfied that this method OF pro-
cedure would cost less and result in mo-e cures
than any other plan that could be adopted for
the season most favorable TO the treatment of
catarrhal diseases. That hundreds of sufferers
thought the same is evidenced by the large
number that took advantage of his generous Of
fer, and are now under this mild, curative
method of medication
Ii seems that the free month method involved
a slightly greater immediate outlay of money
than possible 10 be met by a great many
people, who were not only anxious 10 take treat
ment, but whose casese absolutely needed imme-
date attention. All this has resulted in a great
and popular demand for a rate that could be
paid by the people in general Furthermore, the
knowledge that DIR. Cowden had for the past two
Summers extended s.. 90 rate for limited pc
riod, has resulted in his receiving requests to
renew that offer by a number oi people which
runs well into the hundreds
There has never been a time during the three
yeas that Doctor Cowden has been established
in this city that he has not always been willing
10 accede 10 what, in his opinion, would result
in the greatest good 10 the greatest number.
He the first TO establish this principle of
practice in this city and Will always be the
first to meet the just and honest requirements Of
its people. With this great object in view he
makes the following offer and requests that pa
tients needing and anxious TO be given treat
ment apply at once, for two reasons, first, that
they may get advantage of all warm weather pos
sible and second TO avoid the usual rush and
crowd that always take place during the last
few days.

THE STOCK MARKET STRONG.
Ii Advances Under the Orders of
Commission Houses

New York, Aug. u.-AdYancing markets
for securities are proverbially bare of in
cident and are rather uninteresting save,
Of course, 10 those who see their invest
ments or speculative purchases enhanc-
Ing in value II is safe TO say, further
more, that today's market was interest
ing also to those unfortunate ispeculators
who, for one reason or another, found
themselves with commitments on the
short side. for they received short shrift
in today's buoyant trading. The marke ct
was one of uncommon breadth and
strength, and these characteristics were
based altogether upon the same factors
that have been present in the situation
for two weeks.
Today's market, however. suggested
that the circumstances in question had
obtained a general recognition that has
heretofore been missing, because II was
evident that what is styled outside inter
est was present in considerable proper
tions today.
II was chiefly the buying orders of
commission houses under which the mar
ket advanced today.
No support came from the operations
for foreign account, and the professional
room traders were practically of one mind
in considering the rise in prices overdone
and their ventures in the days market
were plainly conducted on this theory.
The strength of the market was shown
not SO much in the extent or uniformity
OF advances as in its ability to with
stand the heavy profit realizing sales and
the constant hammering of the traders
Aside from the yet more definite pros
poets for an early conclusion of peace. the
day was bare of important occurrences.
The Government monthly report on the
growing crops met general expectations,
the Improvement in condition of Spring
wheat being to some extent offset by the
deterioration in corn since the last re-
port. Competent authorities calculated a
yield of wheat from the Governments fig
ures of over COZ, 100000 bushels, as against
yield of $50, coo, 600 last year, and ii was
estimated that the Spring wheat crop
would furnish 25S,00000O of this years
harvest. st. Paul and the Northern Pa
cific shares were the features in respect
of strength and activity, but the transac-
tions elsewhere were notably heavy al
so.
The market was not without its weak
spots, Manhattan being the most note
worthy, and in the afternoon Sugar Re-
fining broke sharply. The general mar
ket also became rather heavy in the lat
ter dealings.
