BacheloJhood means freedom TO the young man.
1t gives opportunity for the enjoyment OF life's
pleasures. 1t means the personal enjoyment of
every dollar earned. 1t enables a man, il MS am
bitions run that way, TO accumulate wealth.
There is no restriction on his movement. He
NAV clothe himself in gaudy Taimsnt and remain
until middle life or later a butterfly Of fashion,
He may travel where he Will and do pretty much
as he peases. HIS IS not down to the grind
stone The unmarried life has many alluremsnts
and the number OF young men who refuse the
matrimonial bond Is annually increasing, at least
in the cities.
But by and by age comes and another story is
told There are ailments and no soothing hands
There is Loneliness and conSenial company at
the freside. The long winter evenings shiytr the
old bachelors bones. If his be An old age OF
poverty there is nothing for him but the poor
house. Every almshouse in the land is full OF old
bachelors, pale. moping men, who mediate on
childhood and its memories of friends. II old age
comes with wealth then the bachelor raalizSs that
the sweetest things Of life cannot be bought His
house is not a home. These who wait on him
work not for love, but for wages. He is ike n
traveller in a strange land, who wishes for a gen
uine resting place and someone to looS at wnou
he loves The old bachelor has missed the great
est ioy Of life TO have children climbing on his
knees His last days are dreary and hls deathbed
a prospect fo- dread. The most fitting conclu-
sion IS suicide He has neither brought Joy TO his
own life nor given it TO Others.

The leaders of the market are not so
rabidly bearish today they were dur
ing all of last week. Two or three large
operators have changed the tenor Of
their comment and of their dealings, in
accordance with the idea that a rally
may come at any time. The financial col
unns of the newspapers are also trifie
more hopeful. CuthDert Mills would not
be surprised at an advance; the Herald
is hopeful; the Sun not so much so. Some
of the market prophets also are conf
dent. 1t is noticeable that the Flower
crowd is still bullish. Burr, Stokes & Co.
predict an advance before elections The
bull arguments are that earnings are ex-
cellent; that wheat expectation is large
the bears to force stocks below a GER
tain figure, with the hardest effort. The
bears, on the other hand, say that the
election uncertainties are still most po-
tent; that foreign war, while it might
be good for the price of grain, would
have the temporary effect of sending
down the price of American stocks, and
that while earnings in the West are good
there is not by any means the best con-
ditions of business in the East, where the
prices of stocks are really made Per
haps more than to any of these matters
however, the market will owe It's tempo
rary fluctuations to the course of Tobac-
CO, which is now being manipulated up
ward. 1t would not seem safe for the
moment 10 sell stocks. Todays market
opened rather strong. but after the first
hour prices sagged a little, except in
Tobacco.

by the presbyter and a number OF lay
men of the diocese to which he belonged
Was thought to be necessary.
DR. Richards presented an amendment
to this effect, which adopted by the
house.
Mr. Joseph Packard thought as IL was
not likely that the canon would be
adopted by the house, and amendments
and discussions would not hasten the
work, he would move that the matter be
postponed indefinitely--let the joint COM
mission study the canon we'll and also
the arguments advanced in regard to II
by the house for their report at the next
convention. The motion was adopted.
Before The hour for adjournment the
chairman announced the joint commission

In former years these annual drills

INSPECTOR MATTINGLY'S CASE.
His Reported Retirement From His
present Position Is Denied.

Considerable Indignation is felt at po-
lice headquarters and in the offices of
the chief of police today at the story
published in a morning contemporary to
the effect that Inspector Mattingly, the
present chief of detectives, had been de-
posed, or was going TO be deposed, and
that steps had been undertaken for the
selection of a successor.
The story is most forcibly denied both
at police headquarters and in the offices
of the District Commissioners and it is
asserted that it is unwarranted by any
intentions upon the part of Major Sylves-
ter and Commissioner Wight. The posi-
tive statement was made to a Times re-
porter by Major Sylvester that no orders
looking toward the removal or trans
fer of inspector Mattingly have been is
sued and that they have not been contem-
plated. Il am on the best of terms with
the inspector" said the ma jor, land re-
gret very much that a story of such a
nature should be given publicity. There
has been no change and / know nothing
of the matter"
The publications referred to among 9TH
er things quoted Commissioner Wight as
saving that he regretted the fact that the
news of the alleged deposing of Inspector
Mattingly had become public, otherwise
he would not have consented to talk on
the subject.
The impression seems to prevail in
some quarters that a bit of heroic ''ro-
mancing' has been INDUCED in, but by
whom no one appears TO know.
