The stock Market.

New York, Nov. 17-The result of to-day's stock market operations were rather incomclusive, except in so far as they showed a continued lively interest on the part of the outside public in se- curities of all grades. So far as prices were concerned net changes were rath- CT mixed, though a majority were on the side of gains and these in some cases amount to 1 per cent. or over. The early period of the market showed the heavy offerings to realize which are at all times usual in the upward course of real bull market. But even While prices sagged at some points with the effort to absorb the of ferings other stocks were mounting up
 ward maintaining the undertone of tirmness. The very notable movement ir Atchison preferred was continued from the outset, at which time running purchases carried the price up $. The gain was subsequently extended to 1H and the net gain is almost a point. There was very heavy demands early for Denver preferred, which had been marked up before the opening here iu London. This stock rose an extreme two points, and Norfork and Western preferred 11s. Baltimore and Ohio pre- ferred, Pacific Mail and International Paper gave tone also to the early .lro in Metropolitan Street Railroad. Early weakness in Tobacco and the reaction in Chicago and Alton from it's recent advance had an unsettling effect in the first hour. In the second hour, how ever, the grangers were taken in hand
 and Burlington and Rock Island were pushed to the highest prices of the year. Some of the low priced and late- ly dormant stocks were also brought
 into the movement and advanced to a higher level. These included Denver and Rio Grande, St. Louis Southwest ern preferred, American Spirits, Chica- go and Eastern Illinois. Minneapolis and St. Louis, and Standard Distribut- ing. There were conspicuous advances
 also in New York Central, Pennsylva-
 mia and Canada Southern. St. Paul and Omaha preferred sold at ITO, an
 advance of 8 points ard the highest
 price on record The late reaction in
 the market was induced by the persist ent weakness of the Northern Pacific
 stocks and the uneasiness thus caused in the minds of security holders by the accompanying rumors of discord and a prospective outbreak of hostilities in the Northwestern railroad world. The common stock fell to 40A and the pre- ferred to 75. Support was apparently
 entirely withdrawn from these stocks,
 and very heavy blocks were thrown on the market. The aggressive buying of Peoples Gas up to 107@ in the late dealings rallied the market and made a firm closing in spite of the late weak ness in Delaware and Hudson and
 Sugar The local money market show ed no further hardening tendency to- day and the firmness of foreign ex- change indicates a resumption of the holding back of bills. The level of the London money market, which declined appreciably to-day, is now so near that of New York that a stringer1cy in the local money market could find relief in gold import movement.

A BLUFF" THAT WORKED.

Here's a true story of cold cheek, 9 said local real estate dealer. Flight years ago a New Orleans man lost a good job here and went to certain Southern city with just $2 in his pocket He was well dressed and had a plausi- ble tongue, and hearing that the con- tract for building a courthouse was about to be let by a reform Board Of Commissioners he walked in and actually secured the job. They gave him two days to file bond, and he went straight to banker, showed him where there was money in the scheme, and in thirty minutes persuaded him to become his surety. Now mark you. he knew no more about erecting a public building than a soft-shell crab knows about Greek verbs, but he tele- graphed immediately to a big contract ing firm in St. Louis, and in forty eight hours was in consultation with their ex- pert. As result he sublet the work at figure that left him about 1000 clear profit, after giving the banker a slice. All the time he was doing this he had only his g to go on. He used it for slaves and shines standing off everything else, but he said the deal closed inside of three weeks and the spells salted away. Then, of course. he was in clover. He made some lucky speculations afterward in phosphate lands and is worth to-day at least $50 900. New Orleans Times Demo crat.

WHY CHILDREN sQUINT.

Shocks to the Nervous System and Fe-
 brile Disorders Often the Cause
 In a learned paper on the subject of convergent strabismus by Professor Priestley Smith, which constituted the last Bowman Lecture of the Opthal- mological society, it is stated that the onset of strabismus is often attributed to a fit, fright, a fall, or other such occurrence, and still more often to an illness such as whooping-co or mea- sles. Making allowance for the ire quency of such events among children, and for certain disregard of time and sequence in their elders, it seems to me, asys Professor Smith, highly proba- ble that these supposed causes are very often real causes. Some such explana- ton of the onset was given, with show of reason, in more than two-fifths of my cases, and the proportion would no doubt have been higher had not many of the patients been brought by persons who knew nothing of their an
 
 was definite and not to be upset . by cross-examination. For example, a child had rever bean seen to sauint be- fore came from school squinting badly, having that morning been put into the corner with a cloth over her head; an- Iother did the same immediately after having his head pushed into bucket of water by his brother; another after sitting in scalding water; another after being terrified by a monkey which jumped on to her shoulder. No less clear in many cases was the history of onset during measles, whooping- cough, or other constitutional disorders
 All these are conditions which may gravey disturb the nervous system. Shock, anger or apprehension impair Ithe control of muscular action; they cause the knees to shake, the voice to tremble, and even the hand to the oph- thalmic surgeon to become unsteady. Febrile disorders cause delirlum, con- Ivulsions and sometimes transient stra- bismus. and leave the nervous system exhausted. Is ti not highly probable that such disorders occurring in young children may interrupt the action of those nlgnef centetS Whlch control the movement of the eyes, and this not only where control is already difficult by treason of amblyopia, or error of refrac- | ton, but even in children whose visual apparatus is normal for their time of life, but not yet fully developed? The old idea that the squintlng child needs | a little skllful surgery and nothing more is dying out. Most people know that glasses are often necessary. But | that the child may require teaching, at 1 some trouble, to use the squinting eye, is a new idea to many, 1t is easily Igrasped, however, and must be grasped If our efforts are to be effective I have used the word educative as a l help in that direction. Of course there | are parents and there are children on whom all time and trouble spent in this 1 way are entirely thrown away, but on | the whole l have been surprised at the care and patience with which directions have been carried out, even in homes where one might least expect it.--Lon- l don Standard

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
 for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev, F. I, Bell, highly esteemed minister residing in Weedsport, Cay uga Co.,, N. Y., in a recent letter writes as follows: There has never been any thing that l have taken that has re- lleved the Dyspepsia from which l have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them l have had no distress at all after eating and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F, l. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y., for merly Idalia, Colo"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is re- markable remedy, not only because it is certain cure for all forms of indi- gestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dys- pepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. person has dyspepsia simply because the sto- mach is overworked: all it wants is a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest.
 This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the di- sestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy is given not only to the sto- mach, but to every organ and nerve ill the body. A trial of this splendid medicine will convince the most skep- tical that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cured. The tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co.,. of Marshall, Mich., but so popular has the remedy become that Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets can now be obtained at any drug store at 30 cents per package.

MODIFIED CIVIL SERVICE.

Sweeping Changes Proposed In a Meas.
ure Reported.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The bill for
the reform of the civil service law,
which has been drafted by special
committee of Republican members of
the house Of representative opposed TO
the system III its present form, makes
sweeping changes in the present sys-
tenn, the most important of which Is
the establishment OF q fye-year tenure
of office for those government en-
ployes who are brought within the
terms of the bill. The measure limits
the application of the civil service sys-.
tern to the departments in Washington,
and to such other localities where the
total number of employees exceed 20.
All employees are commissioned for five
years, with the power of removal
clearly regulated and vested in tho ap-
pointing power. 1t is provided, how
ever, that no removal shall be made for
political or religious causes, ana in case
of removal the causes shall be speci-
fed and the papers made record OF
the Office.
All persons now in the public service,
are to terminate their service five years
from the time that the act takes effect.
The measure recognizes the general
eligibility of these persons for reap
pointment
1t includes III the civil service postaa
clerks and lettercarriers in offices hav-
ing over ten employees, exclusive OF
subordinates. It limits the civil service
regulations to clerks whose compensa-
ton is from 5000 to 81 800 per year and
includes as clerks copyists. computers,
counters and craftsmen.
1t is pointed out that the essential
idea of the foregoing bill is to take out
of the civil service all responsible and
important officers, limiting it only co
clerks in Washington and certain large
cities, and in these cases fixing a tenure
of office of five years. The members of
the special committee framing the bill
are well pleased with their labors, say
ing that the original purpose of the
civil service mas been retained and that
its radical expansions have been cut off.
