STOCK MARKET.
Outside Public Continue to Show
Interest in Securities.
There Were Several Notable Movements
in the Railroad Lists.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE result Of
today's stock market operations were
rather inconclusive except in so far as
they showed continued lively interest
on the part of the outside public in Sc
curities of all grades.
So far as prices were concerned, net
changes were rather mixed, though
the majority were on the side of gains,
and these in some cases apount to J.
per cent or over. The early period of
the market showed the heavy offer
ings to realize which are at all times
successful on the upward course of
bull market. But even while prices
sagsed at some point, with the EFFORT 10
absorb the offerings, other stocks were
mounting upward, maintaining the I'M
dertone of firmness.
The very notable movement in At
Gibson preferred was continued from
the outset, at which time running pur-
chases carried the price up SIS. The
gain was subsequently extended to
l IA and the net gain is almost a point.
There was a very heavy demand ear

been marked up before the opening

the persistent weakness of the North

thus caused in the minds of security
holders by the accompanying fumofs
of discord and a prospective outbreak
of hostil4ties in the Northwestern rail-

EMPERoR's TALLEsT SOLDIER.
lFrom the london chronlele.l


"The tallest man in his army" who
is accompanying the German emperor
in his visit to the east, is a grenader
named Chiemke, who is nearly six feet
ten inches in his stockings. This Fred
erick- William mania of the kaiser's is
an old device of his for impressing the
foreigner. On returning from his first
visit to Constantinople in 1889, the en-
peror sent the sultan a complete set
of kettle drums which he intrusted to
the tallest officer in his army. Lieut.
Pleskow, who is very little if at all,
under seven feet. Once, indeed, when
this Prussian guardsman looked over
a seven-foot garden wall and asked a
girl picking gooseberries therein what
was the way to so-and-so, the simple
maiden told him to ride first to the
right and then to the left, and he would
find the place he wanted. The nymph
had honesty fancied that an officer
overpeering her garden wall like that
must necessarily be on horseback

LIKE OLD TIMES.
o'connor and Moran to Represent ST
Paus and ST. Annes in Match Race


Pau's and ST. Annes in Match Race.
Arrangements are being made for a
match race at half mile, between
Charles O'Connor and William Moran
The outcome of race between these
two men will be awaited with much
pleasure by the sporting element Of
this city.
When the proposed race between Jere
Moynihan and Allie Remington of
Fitchburg fell through, owing to the
severe Illness of the Fitchburg runner,
it looked as if the managers of the
Holy Cross indoor meet would be
without an attraction. which would be
of interest to the people of this city.
Now that the friends of O'Connor and
Moran are making arrangements for a
match TO take place at the meet, the
success. of the project is assured.
Charles O'Connor is a member of
the St Paurs Lyceum, and attends
school at Holy Cross College. His
best work as an athlete has been at
the Temperance Society field days. His
best distance is the quarter of mile,
and he has been unfortunate In being
compelled to meet a runner of such
past three years O'Connor has finished
second to Maynihan, and the races
that he ran would have won first place
for him at any meet held in this vi
entity.
William Moran is a student at the
high school, and he is a member Of the
st. Anne's Temperance Society. and
like O'Connor, his best work has been
done at the temperance field days
~ 4f.z
st. Annes. Up to this fall, Moran's
best distance was supposed to be the
quarter mile; but last Labor day he
ran his first race at the half mile and
won the diocesan championship at that
distance from a very fast field.
Ever since that day, the feeling be
tween the two runners has been in
tense, and to settle the question of the
ability of the men. their friends met
few days ago, and decided to make
arrangements for race at the Holy
expressed their willingness to take part
in the race, and the only thing needed
is for the date to be settled
O'Connor has the advantage of being
able to train upon the track where
the race will take place. 1t is under
stod that both men are DESTROYS that
the usual custom of having the men
start on the mark be laid aside, and
the stars be from opposite sides of the
track, thus preventing the winner of
the toss from having the advantage of
starting on the inside. Such manner
of starting a race would be new and
between two such rivals. would he very
interesting.
Both men have many friends in this
city, who are confident of their man s
ability to win from the other and will
back their opinion with money. II this
race takes place, it will be the first
meeting of these rival societies since
the races between Mclaughlin and De-
laney, and these men hold the same
place in their societies as these two
former rivals once held.

THE EQUATOR VS.. CIVILIZATION.

In OLD time, In short, you had but to
give young man the Equator and he
would do WELL deny it to him. and he
failed. Go south, young man, was then
the word. 1t has been go west during
the last few thousand years; and the
question suggests itself is it to be- 90
north in the future? The matter should
De determined, for we hear it said in
relation to our tropical colonies in the
East and West Indies, that we never
can really occupy them, because the
Anglo-Saxon can not live and work in
the tropics. but presently deteriora ies
and dwindles away Are the success
full colonies of the age to come to be
placed in the Arctic or Antarctic re-
gions? Is Klondike, rather than the
Philippines or Porto Rico. to be the
seat of our future empire?
1t must be admitted that the scenes
of the old civilization are now either
deserted, or are occupied by degenerate
or barbarous peoples And wherever
we find the leaders of mankind in
science art and energy. the environ
ment is that of the temperate zone.
The AngloSaxon (the only person now
worth considering, since the Latins
have received their coup de grace. the
French from Dreyfus and the Span
iards from us) will not do his best work
in any climate which requires a cos
tune lighter than shirtsleeves. 1t is
true, of course, that our sailors and SOL
diers fought and won some late battles
in temperature which rose far above
a hundred degrees, but that was only
for once in way. When the Anglo
Saxon selects his own conditions for
hard and continuous work, he always
selects them cool
What is the cause of this change? Is
the modern man warmer blooded than
the former one? Did the brains of the
latter need to be warmed up from with
out in order to work, whereas ours
warm themselves from within and
have to be cooled down? Some 40 de-
grees of latitude have we climbed up
the sides of the planet since Adam and
Eve; are we to go on, until the Boston
of the future will be built round the
Pole2 Are pure intellect and cold logic
to find their final home amid the
glaciers and ice caps? Are our bodies
to be trained and attempered to the
absolute zero, and win the time come
when we shall see man rolling up his
sleeves to saw ice in a temperature
which solidifes mercury and wiping
the sweat from his brow when he gets
through his job? Are our coming
scholars to be men of really solid at
tainments-frozen solid? Or have we
already attained our northward limit,
and are we now about to begin to re-
trace our steps and get gradually back
to the Equator once more? Julian
