The market was more than usually
dead and uninteresting this morning.
There was no movement in any of the
important stocks except the slight fiuc
tuations that are to be expected under
the most adverse circumstances in To-
bacco and Sugar, at the beck and call of
the professionals. Everything in the ear
ly trading pointed to dull day and to
little business during the remainder of
the week The Street is not interested
in the market and will not be until some
of the large operators decide that there
is money for them in helping boom or
a decline. At present the large peop-e e
are not in the market in any way.

WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK7

Don't give them tea or coffee Have YOU
tried the new food called GRAIN-O? 1t
IS delicious and nourishing and takes the
place of coffee. The more Grain-O you
give the children the more health YOU
distribute through their system. Grain-O
is made of pure grains, and when prop
erly prepared tastes like the choice
grades of coffee, but costs about one
quarter as much. All grocers sell it.

St. Paurs statement is again excellent
and better than the best friends of the
company had predicted. For the second
week of October there was an increase
of S139 coo, which makes the increase since
the first of July $500, 600. The enormous
wheat movement and the fine west-bound
freight business accounts for the in
crease 1t also indicates very clearly that
the business of the next few months will
be great. 1t is one of the surprises of
the stock market that these records OF
the grangers do not have some effect on
the stocks of the road. st. Paul neither
discounts these statements nor rallies af-
ter they have been made. The stock Is
no higher now than it was month ago.

ROMANCE OF
 BANK BOOKS Lost Owners Have Been Found and Heirs
 Appear.
Insanity and Death Explain a Generation Of
 Silence.
Attorney Oscar T. Shuck Follow Interesting Clews to
 Conclusion.

Recent researches show some interest ing developments in the cases or unheard of owners of bank accounts who nave been missing for many years.
 One of the strangest mysteries solved in many day was unraveled by Attorney Oscar T. Shuck yesterday in the case or the long-lost and much Jane Trimble, whose account at the dl- bernia Bank awaits the appearance Of her heirs Ever since 1868 the woman has been as completely lost as if the earth had swallowed her. The bank and the Public Administrator will worry no more, as It has been learned what became of the old depositor.
 "She lived at 932 Folsom street. said Attorney Shuck, ' and l had about given up the case when I found that Mary Anne Trimble had been committed to the Napa Asylum from that place many years ago. She died there and the Insanity Commis- sionerS are proceeding under the law 10 get pay for her care and attentlon AS there are no heirs. this will settle the estate. It is supposed that the woman was so insane that she gave the wrong name The only way we ever discovered her identity was the fact that ln her ray ings she said she had money Ill the III, bernia Bank, and investigation showed that the woman committed was rom the same address,.
 Another mystery just solved Is that of lIie Case oL JoHll J IOS9oii' reStaurant-owner in the sixties. Ills dlS- appearance seemed an unsolVaDle nys- tery and 1t seemed that his money at the French Bank would never find a claimant: Mr. Shuck has discovered that the old man dropped dead thirty years ago. Hers are on their way from France to claim the estate.
 The mystery surrounding the disap- pearance of another old citizen, John Gelinaud was solved in almost the same way, except that it has been learned from an examination of the records Of the Morgue that he committed suicide. His heirs will find a snug sum awaiting them.
 Another bank depositor was Theodule Benjamin. A search of the records showed that no Theodule Benjamin had ever died there, but Theodore Benjamin committed suicide in the sixties. It has been shown that he is the same man who made the deposit in the French Bank, and his heirs will lay claim to the estate.

MILE. ANNA HELD
 AMID THE WAVES
She Describes Her Sensations as She Breasts the Foam
 ing Billow.
The Clever Advance Man Who InVents Fame for
 Her.

When the advance agent of Anna Held arrived in town he was all smiles, and the amount of his surplus urbanity was
 enough to thaw the heart of the callous tenderoin. To sound Miss Held's praises was the business for which that ladys manager engaged him, ana his resources in that line are worthy of something high
 CT than that of getting in the papers the name of one who has made a fortune by singing, '1 have such Wa-ay wees me. v
 One of the peculiar characteristics of the fetchingly naughty Parisienne Is that she prefers to bathe her dainty person in milk to using Pears soap and warm wa ter. This was the advance mans cue to secure public notice. He stated that she daily used several hundred gallons of the
 nourishing fluid. and in order to supply this he wrote to all the milkmen and large Ga1ry proprletors that he wanted them to assemble on certain day at the Baldwin Theater and there and then bid for the contract of supplying Anna with the re- quired number of gallons of milk during
 her .sojourn here The specifications called for absolutely pure milk. The use of water or chalk was to be considered breach of contract, which would cause the bidder to forfeit his award. There was the greatest excitement among the milk men, and a very strong tendency was de- veloped on the part of some of them to
 bull the milk market. so much so that there was a general rise in the price of
 milk.
 But there is yet another startling fea- ture that has been perpetrated by this in- nocent advance man, in connection with the many characteristics of Anna, that
 has forced her into the realms of notori- ety to an almost extreme limit. While
 Miss Held is at Coronado Beach her ur-
 bane herald persuades her to break away from the milk toilet for a few hours and like other stars, who have also been fam
 ous, to indulge in a dip in the surf. After much coaXfng she consents, and while she is languidly disporting herself among the pillows the man in advance has her interviewed by the representatives of freak journal.
 In his imagination he has wires run upon the waves to where Anna Is float ing, and over these she talks and sings She is to describe her sensations amid the
 pillows, to lisp the secrets of the deep and to poutingly tell of a proposal from a North Sea whale.
 Thus the vaudeville star Is kept con- stantly upon the pinnacle of fame and ad- mfration-while the true artist the gem jus whose brains make Mademoiselle the adorable thing that she is. wonders when he will be able to get last week. wash out of the laundry.

MUSIC UNDER
 THE BALDWIN Proprietors Refuse to Pay a Concert Hall
 License. President William Bogen Ar rested to Test the
 Question.
Interesting Points Advanced b License Collector Bonnet lor
 the Prosecution.

William Bogen, president of the Baldwin Grotto Company, was arrest ed Wednesday on a warrant sworn 10 in Judge Lows court by License Col Iector Bonnet on the charge of violat- ing order 15S9 of the Board of Super visors by refusing to pay concert hall license He was immediately released on his own recognizance by Judge Low
 The case was called in court yester- day morning, but neither Bogen nor Attorney Kowalsky, who represents him, were present. The License Col lector waited for an hour, and, as there appeared to be no pos )ility of the case going on, he left - CT the Judge had stated that he would continue 1t till this morning. The Judge thought that there had been possibly some mis-
 understanding on the part of the de- fendant, and did not consider it neces- sary to issue a bench warrant.
 The case has been brought by the License Collector owing to complaints
 made to him by the proprietors of the Oberon. Olympia and similar resorts, who have always paid the license. They
 pointed out that the Baldwin Grotto advertises in their programme Con cert every evening from to lZ by tne Vienna orchestra, under the leadership of Herr Stark" who previously per formed at the Oberon. The full details of the concert were given on the pro gramme, but no menu. A sign was also on the outside of the grotto, Concerts nightly"
 The License Collector has had sev-
 eral informal talks with the City ana
 County Attorneys office on this point | Their idea was that when a few pieces of music were played during the dinner hour it was simply a feature of the meal and could not be claSSed as a concert but since he has pointed out
 to them that a regular concert IS held after dinner, they have taken dlf1er-
 ent view of the question
 The action is taken under section D
 of the ordinance, which provides:
 In any action brought under or arising out of any of the provisions of this order the fact that a party thereto represented
 himself or herself as engaged m any puslT ae which a license is by this order required. or that such party exhibited sign indi- eating such business or calling, shall be conclusive evidence of the liability of such party to pay for license.
 Also under another section, which
 provides:
 Every proprietor or Jesse of any the- ater, concert hall or of any place or : amusement, entertainment or exhibition d performance given under a canvas or cloth covering or inclosure shall pay license ac- cording to the seating capacity of such 1 theater concert hall or other place Of l amusement, entertainment or exhibition. It is said that Police Commissioner Gunst and others, who are interested in the success of the grotto, are using i considerable influence to get decision 1 against Bonnet and good deal Of in l terest is accordingly being taken in the result to-day.

DRINKING AMONG
 THE YOUNG PEOPLE
An Underground Resort in Oakland the Scene of
 Scandalous Actions.
Such Was the Expression Used by Professor Humphrey Last Even
 ing in an Address.

Professor Joseph Humphrey, the tenn perance lecturer. addressed the sons or temperance last evening, at the Hewes building on Market street. on the subject of ..Intemperance Among Young People He called attention to incidents where girls and boys of an immature age had beer. seen parading the streets in an ln- toxfcated condition. and deplored the eff feet of such practices on the rising gen. eration.
 Referring to the practice of drinking In Oakland. he said that on a recent evening a reliable person had seen sixteen glrls and boys drinking in an underground re- sort beneath the Macdonough building, and seemingly trying to find out which one could imbibe the most liquor. Atten- ton was attracted to the parties by the boisterous laughter that issued from the curtained booths and made the matter one of public scandal in Oakland He be- lieved that the parents of the boisterous youths thought them at prayer meeting while their Scandalous actions were going on Professor Humphrey urged those present to use their utmost endeavors to prevent intemperance among the rising generation.
