NOSTALGIA.

Army surgeons pronounce nostalgia
or homesickness a real disease of which
more soldi RS die than the world is
aware Of. An army officer declares
this q disease which makes the bravest
men as faint hearted and practically as
useless "a babies. He says that one
homesick man affects a whole camp.
This malady is more than heartbreak-
ing logging for home. 1t is utter dis
couragement, WEAKNESS and enerva-
ton; a lack of interest in everything,

world. To the honesiok soldier, life is

Women dress for one another, aud the
opinion of men has nothing whatever
to do with the formation OF styles.
Women have two distinct schemes
of raiment. With one she goes forth

prescribed. was valid: that after payment
of the premiums called for and the lapse of
time specified the insurer was, with the eX-
ception indicated. precluded from setting up
any defense based upon Misrepresentation
or warranties made by the insured in his
application. whether fraudulent or other
wise; that If policy of insurance is capable
of being construed In two ways that inter-
probation must be placed upon it which is
most favorable to the insured; that re-
ceipt by the insurer of premium after de-
fault in the payment thereof, according to
the terms of the policy, will generally con-

and the acceptance of such note by the in

payment of such note at maturity will not
work forfeiture of the policy unless it is

that where a policy of insurance became
lapsed by non payment of premiums and
the insured obtained a reinstatement by a
fraudulent misrepresentation of material

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, July 7.-Todays advance
in prices was probably intended as an ad-
monition to the bear party that they were
not to be allowed to have their own way
in forcing down prices, even in the exist
Ing dizziness of speculation. Today's buy
ing gave indication that 1t grew out of an
urgent desire for the ownership of securl-
ties, but seemed rather an organized ef-
fort to mark up prices. There was some
covering of short contracts induced by the
advance, but nothing to show that there
could be any large outstanding short in
terest in the market. The advance in SUI
gar may have been due to buying by shorts
to realize their profits on the adoption OF
the Hawaiian annexation resolution by the
senate yesterday, and probably the de-
mand from this quarter induced more bll-
ding for the stock to exert pressure on the
shorts. The buying of the Vanderbilts was
clearly professional meneuver by large
bull interests The gains in these STOCKS
ranged from one to two points. The pow
erful sympathetic effect which this GROUP
always exercises on the balance of the list
was shown by the general response today
after the opening depression caused by
lower prices in London. When the short
lived buying in the Vanderbits ceased the
general list showed Il slightly reactionary
tendency. but not sufficient to wipe out the
early gains. Tho rushing up of prices is
clearly designed to invite outside interest
in the market, but no such interest was
manifested today; There were special

yield per cent by Great Northern. sold ur
four points and was bid up before the close
two points further to 151. The pending adj
journment of congress and renewed re-
ports that Spain was about to sue for
peace tended to help the rise. Reports of
railroad earnings were also encouraging
handsome advances being shown over the
corresponding period of last year, outside
the grain carrying roads. on which the
traffic reached abnormal proportions.
Bonds were steady. Total sales 81 900.
Government bonds were unchanged
