NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New. York, Oct. 19.---Only lew days in
the history of the Stock Exchange can
offer such a record of dulness and apathv
as that Of today. The leading Industrials
still continued to lead the market in vol
ume of transactions. but even in this the
business was comparatively Insignificant
me market was so utterly sluggish and
apathetic that there was no possibility of
retrieving. this early drain. and prices
dragged along at the lower level through
out. the day. That mere is cause of I'M
easiness. over some phase of the compli-
Gated relations of European states is very
evident from the stock tape 1t is also
evident that stocks are very closely held
so that the dullness of the market gives
1t an Endertone of strength.

would not be if she was in a perfectly strong

its dangers and large proportion of its
pain by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite

remedy ever discovered for restoring COM

The American Chamber of Commerce
In Paris gave dinner on Saturday
evening, at which the possibilities Of
securing more space for American ex-
hibits at the coming exposition were
discussed. Commissioner General Peck
gave little encouragement to would he
exhibitors who have not vet secured
space. as he said the total extent Of the
exposition grounds was less than half
that of the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
and the authorities were overwhelmed
with demands from other countries,
while they did not appear to realize
the relative Importance of American
manufactures. This situation was pre-
dicted by the leading American papers
many months ago, and the manufac-
turers of the United States were urged
to act promptly in securing space for
their exhibits: but the advice went un-
needed, for the most part, until the
available space was taken up. Then
there was great cutlery, as there al
ways is, and the representatives of the
United States in Paris were accused,
directly or indirectly, of neglecting the
interests of their countrymen, when, as
matter of fact. their countrymen had
simply neglected their own interests.
But, considering the rapidly growing
Importance of American manufactures
and the recently awakened spirit of our
manufacturers for pushing their trade
abroad, it would not be surprising to
see them organizing kind of ''over-
flow" exhibition on their own account,
and thus gaining greater notoriety than
they could attain in any other way.

Courage and GOODNESS are the key
note of the reports of the dreadful dis
aster on the English coast. The note
rings more clearly because of it's con-
trast with that which sounded in the
knell of La Bourgogne only a little
time ago. How the loss of the Mohe-
gan occurred is not known. Something
went wrong, but what it was has not
yet been discovered, perhaps never
will be. The captain. who probably
knew, was drowned, after exhausting
the resources of his vessel in the effort
to save his passengers, reserving moth
ing for himself, and probably becoming
so fatigued by his effort that, al
though he leaped into the water at
last, he was unable to swim ashore,
and so persisted. But all the officers,
all the crew and even all the passen-
gers, who might be excused for show
ing fear or nervousness in such an un-
expected situation, appeared to have
behaved like heroes. There is not "a
single story of cowardice and selfish
Indifference to the fate of others, sucn
as characterized the Bourgogne dis
aster. Deplorable as it is, the Mohe-
gan catastrophe is still a credit to the
courage and calm self-reliance of the
Anglo Saxon race.

Her cheeks reflect a rustic brown
That city ways too soon will wither;
But roses glow beneath the tan

To proper pink and white will tint her.

That hints of walks in highways rural

The stride with mincing intramural,
The freedom Of the woods is gone,
And in the seasons flare and fashion

A queen will be for gems to flash on.

The statement has been going the
rounds of the papers that Maine had
only one representative in Colonel
| Roosevelt's regiment of Rough Riders
| Guy Murchie of Calais, who left his
law studies at Harvard for the front
A correspondent. however, says that
one of the best of Roosevelt's good men
was Warren Crockett, native of Nor
way, Me-. who enlisted from Marietta
| Georgia. where he has resided for sew
eral years. He has been in the inter-
nal revenue service. and has had much
experience in hunting moonshiners in
the mountains of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, so when the Rough Riders Were
collected. he was an ideal man for the
| regiment. He served through the war
with much credit to himself, and was
wounded while on picket duty after the
| last battle had been fought. Rough
Rider Crockett has numerous relatives
in Maine.
| A writer in the Portland Express
pays the following tribute to a we'll
| known Portland newspaper man, for
merly an Augusta boy: Speaking
about the war. there is probably no
officer in any branch of the service who
came home with a larger|percentage of
warm and strongly attached friends
among his command, than did my
friend. Lieutenant Harry NJ. Bigelow
of the Naval Reserve. l am glad to
say this much for Lieutenant Bigelow,
partly because he is my friend, and
partly because he deserves the recogni-
ton. Strike one of the boys who
served on the Montauk. and you find Il
friend to Bigelow. This is not acct
dent, there is reason for it, and that
reason the boys will tell perhaps more
| forcibly than / can"
! When the Tapley boys met at the old
homestead at West Brooksville, a few
weeks ago. they composed what in
many respects was the most remark
able gathering of people in Maine this
year. There are eight of the Tapley
boys when you stop to count them but
as this was the first time they all met
together in AZ years, people are apt
to forget the number. The Oldest is IS
and the youngest is 60, and all of the
eight have followed the sea from boy
hood. Each has risen to the proud
grade of captain. and all have now
| given up their wanderings over the
world and are living in the same school
district in the old sea coast town. One
| brother and two sisters have died.
Bar Ikarbor isn't satisfied with its
| great summer business, but wants
something to do the rest of the year
The casino scheme has slumped, the
soap factory bubble has busted" and
the prospect of a naval station seems
far away. But the town is full of
courage and a local board of trade
probably will be established soon, to be
composed of enterprising citizens in
order that greater efforts may be made
toward the location of industries in
that vicinity which will give the people
| employment the entire year.
