THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review,

New York, Oct. 3.-Todays stock mar
ket furnished a striking exhibition of the
professional character of the trading. de-
veopments over Sunday did not invite a
change of tactics by the leaders and on
the resumption of business the raid
against the industrias was renewed. 70
bacco, Consolidated Gas, New York Air
Brake and various other properties of
this class gave way rapidly and although
the reaction halted after the first half
hour declines in the meantime had been
effected ranging up to 8 points in New
York Air Brake Consolidated Gas fig
ured for points and Tobacco points,
the latter touching lis. The bulls then
started in to retrieve some of the ground
lost last week and after jumping from
one stock to another finally singled out
Tobacco as a leader. The strength de-
veloped here soon permeated the whole
list and prices forged steadily upwards
on animated dealings. Contributory IA
vorable influences developed as the day
progressed to strengthen the market.
The market In detail presented many
striking features. and while realizations
were extensive as the rise assumed head
way the undercurrent of strength was not
affected and final prices were we'll above
Saturdays level Total sales were i4y1S
shares.

In America more iauded then than
Senator Quay. BY universal accord he
was declared the most masterful lead
er known 10 American politics. His
successor as chairman, General ]. s.
Clarkson. said OF him:
He Is the greatest political general
that the first century Of partisan poll
tics has developed. The Republican
party will never know, and it could
never repay II II did know, the SER
Vices rendered to IL in such time of
doubt and peril by Senator Quay"
A MAGNIFICENT TRIBUTE.
When he resigned the national chair
manship, couple of years after the
election, the committee paid him
glorious tribute. saying, among other
things:
I'm submitting to Il (his resignation),
with so much of reluctance and per-
sonal regret, we desire to express from
our own knowledge of the facts OF
MS nre-eminent service to the party,
our sense of the deep obligation under
which he has placed the Republican
party and the cause of good govern
ment and patriotism in the United
states. He undertook the leadership
OF doubtful contest at a time when
the Republican party was disheartened
and the Democratic party confident In
the power of supreme control in the
government and the nation, and when
the odds of the contest were against
our party, and by his matchless power.
his unequalled skill in resources, and
his genius to command victory, won
for our party an unprecedented victory
in the face of expected defeat. In the
great contest of 1888, in the months of
severe effort then, and in the years
of personal association with him since,
we have learned to know the nobility
of the man, and we desire in this con-
spicuous manner to place on public
record, for the present and for the
future, as an enduring answer to the
partisan assaults of the defeated ene-
my, our testimony in appreciation of
his public services and his personal
worth"
How different this from the viii
LITIGATION and abuse now heaped up
on him by the irresponsible band of
guerilas now tramping up and down
the state, who, though claiming to be
Republicans, have made an alliance
with that Democracy which Senator
Quay drove out of power in 1888.
This is the Matthew Stanley Quay
who entered politics in 1855 and whose
life has been an open book to the
public ever since; the Matthew Stanley
Quay who fought valiantly for the
honor and perpetuty of his country
during the Civil war; the Matthew
Stanley Quay who defeated the Tam
many conspiracy of 1888 and elected
Harrison president; the Matthew Stan
ley Quay who upon every occasion
since he has been in the senate has
given his best energies in behalf of
the industries of his native state.

American Burlesquers.

AT the Gaiety yesterday afternoon the
American Burlesquers began a weeks
engagement There are a number of good
entertainers with the company and they
kept the audiences that saw yesterdays
performances in good humor. Among the
entertainers are Jeanette Dupre, who
sings several French songs, and Miss
Mildred Murray, who strives in English
to outdo her. W. B. Watson, the inimit-
able; Leslie and McCurdy, black-face ar
lists; Perry and Burns, Irish comedians;
the Kumins and the Monroe Sisters have
very entertaining turns in the olio. The
performance opens with a brilliantly
staged and costumed burletta, the
"Kosha," the dialogue of which would
stand some judicious pruning. The con-
cluding number is a buresque, "A Wild
Goose Chase" in which all the members
of the company appear.

The Brothers Roger introduced for the

farce-frolic entitled Next Door," at the
Academy last evening. The piece is
melange Of song. dance, acrobatic horse
play and knock-about comedy, and
seemed to greatly please a fair-sized au-
dence. Some clever ground and lofty
tumbling was done by the Roger Broth
ers, and Miss Lillian Beach and Miss
Rose Roger sang well. The piece will
be repeated this and tomorrow afternoons
and evenings.

Zoar,s Fall Caused bv a Ribbon

'Do you know" said Cleveland man
who has had considerable to do with the
Zoarites during the past eight or ten
years, chow the breaking up of the Zoar
community began?
"I'll tell you. 1t was all on account Of Z
piece of ribbon. One of The things that
the people of Zoar foreswore when they
settled there was gaudy raiment. They
dressed themselves in somber colors, and
ornaments were unthought Of. As long
as that plan was adhered to Zoar was
safe; but when people got to going there
from the cities to board at the hotel, the
beginning of the end was inaugurated.
1T was the law of the community that
all the earnings Of the people were to be
turned into the common treasury, and
that nobody was to have cent to spend
for his personal benefit or pleasure. The
trustees did all the buying and everything
was owned in common.
"After awhile, however, the girls who
worked at the hotel began to get presents
of money from visitors, and one of them,
one day, took a few cents out of the
change she had received and bought q
piece of ribbon.
ut was like introducing the measles.
1t was catching, and presently the other
girls began to come out in glorious colors,
"The deadly work had been done. The
trustees were powerless. Girls who were
not fortunate enough to be assigned to
work at the hotel went away-out into.
the world, and it was not long until the
boys began to follow them.
THAT was the manner in which Zoar
fell. The people there today are nearly
all old, and for that reason the commune
ity cannot last. The property is to be
sold, the receipts will be divided, and Zoar
will be but memory of what might have
been but for piece Of ribbon. '-Cleve-

MONITORS REAL INVENTOR
DR. Theodore R. Timby Devised the
Revolving Turret Gun Battery

"Now, while there is so much talk about
war and battleships I can tell you some-
thing about the famous Monitor of which
the general public is ignorant" said S. N.
Holmes, a well-known lawyer of Syra
cuse, N. Y.
Captain John Ericsson has for years
monopolized all the credit of inventng
and building the monitor. AS matter Of
fact he was a joint inventor with DR..
Theodore r. Timby, an honored citizen
of New York state. Dr. Tmby was the
sole inventor of the revolving turret gun
battery, the crowning feature and glory
of the monitor. He was engaged by its
builders, John F. Winslow of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y; John A. Griswold of Troy,
N. Y, and c. H. Bushnell of New Haven,
Conn. The first two named had each un-
limited faith in the revolving turret as
an ehgine of war that they went to Presi-
dent Lincoln at Washington after the re-
fusal Of Gideon Welles, secretary Of the
navy, and other officers of the govern
ment to entertain the subject, and laid
before him by drawings and otherwise
thamerits of Timby's wonderful idea, un-
til at last the president consented to al
low them and Mr.. Bushnell to construct
ever, at their own risk and the govern
ment was to pay for it only on condition
that 1t was a success.
with this permission these three made
instant preparations to build the Monitor,
and they engaged Captain Ericsson for
the work of construction. At the same
time they entered into written contract
with DR.. Timby for the use of his inven-
ton of the revolving battery and agreed
to pay him $4,000 royalty and the same
amount for each and every turret there
after built by them. This contract was
faithfully kept.
"The Monitor itself was built and equip
ped principally in New York; within 100
days and went to sea. What is still more
in it's history and fact not
generally known is that after it had left
New York and was beyond the reach Of
The herald., 1898-05-08

"Mahan is forceful and accomplished
writer, but there is no Farragut or Dewey
sea genius in his makeup.
"Now, in my judgment, the naval strategy
of the war is the hunting down and de-
struction of the Spanish fleet. That ac-
complished, the war should soon come to
an end"
In the course of his remarks Admiral
Belknap pointed out the probability that
