There is Pittsburg life insurance agent Of
whom it is said that he can talk stone statue
into buying policy in his company, .the most
liberal on EARTH He wrote policy for China
man a few days ago, the first written for
a man Of the race in Pittsburg. How he did it
he alone knows. The Chinsman has no clear
idea of it. He understood that by paying the
premiums promptly he would be entitled to -.
900 some time. He began bothering the agent
for the money after couple of weeks had passed.
and the agent tried to explain to him that he
would have to die before he could get it. The
Chnaman fell down cellarway on Grant street,
and was badly hurt His friends tried to attend
to him without calling in a doctor. When they
did call in one two days later the doctor was
angry.
"why didn't you call me soonerf'' he asked.
This man is half dead now"
Next day the injured mans brother was at the
insurance Office with claim for -. 800.
You're not entitled to anything on this, -
said the insurance man, until the Is dead. -
''Doctol say him half dead" answered the
brother; why he no glet lat half?''

There was nothing in the stock market
to-day To distinguish il ftOm any other day

There was nothing in the stock market
today to distinguish it from any other day
in a very uninterestiDg week. Prices fiuc-
tuated little and at the end Of the day
were about on par with the opening.
The same may be said of the entire week.
Prices at the close today were little
changed from those at the opening last
Monday. During the week there have
been advances OF a point or two and de-
cline of the same extent. but the huctua-
tions have been due to manipulation by
the traders entirely and have had no eff
feet on the level of stocks generally and
no effect on the condition OF the market
except to discourage long holders who
have been looking for good profits. In
other words, il has been a traders mar
ket Of the most exasperatins kind.

which had good net advances for the day,
this was the history of the session. Pre-
dictions as to the course of the market next
week are we'll nigh worthless. 1t is the
general feeling that an Improvement is to
come but it must be confessed that this
idea is founded on little more than hope.
and the fact that the traders market has
already lasted two weeks or more.
The bank statement was not surprise
because a good showing had been expected.
Nevertheless, it is bull argument for
next week. taken by itself. Wheat went OF
another cent today and was weak at sill
times. These two factors. with the case of
money during the las. few days, may help
along the market to better things, but
there is no certainty Of 1t. The bank state
ment is as follows: Reserves Increased $4,-
7o4. .375: loans decreased S7.73o. 500; deposits
decreased $4,07S, 700; specie increased ST.

velopments that are occurring. The best
information now obtainable is that South

will be of great benefit to the earnings OF

dividend on Louisville will be at the rate

GRAFTON, W. Va, August 81
An organized gang of thieves robbed
several houses in West Grafton last
night, securing a considerable
amount of money and other valua-
bles. At the residence of Mrs. Jane
Raymond they got two gold watches
belonging to her boys and $40 in
money. Rev. l. A. Barnes, of Nor
gantown, who was visiting her, lost
$50 in money. At A. L. Bartlett s
they got watch valued at 800 and
about $50 in money. They broke
into the residence of several others
and got very little. In most of the
residences they entered through the
windows. The town is in state of
alarm and there is talk of doubling
the police force. At one or two res
licences the robbers we're seen max
ing their escape. The police we're
notified, but all efforts to get trace
of them proved fruitless.

all competitors. There are several
reasons for this. In the first place
it is the most conveniently located
for those who travel and its pro-

and generous men in the world. He
is far sighted and fortunate in the
selection of his assistants all OF
whom are built ON the same plan as
himself Every part of the hotel is
carefully looked after from the
kitchen to the smallest bed cham

The table and the service are SUI

THE RACING PROGRAMME


Wheeling is Great One.
One of the chief attractions OF the
West Virginia State Fair, the nine
tenth annual exhibition which opens
September 4th, on the Wheeling Island
grounds, has always been the racing
programme. Turf contests have ever
been among the most popular of out
door sports, interesting the resident Of
of city and country alike, and no class
of amusements affords that interest
which attaches to racing, or attract
such large audiences. Not even the
three-ringed circus is in it with racing
and the spectator gets much more for
his money in days good racing on y
fine track than could be obtained from
four circuses. The track of the West
Virginia Association is admittedly the
finest half mile track in the United
States, being constructed at large cost
upon strictly scientific principles. The
grand stand is a fine one, being con-
structed of steel and iron, and capable
of seating five thousand five hundred
people, and all the racing accessories
are thoroughly up to date. This year
the racing programme contains twelve
events, for purses aggregating "a, 800.
There are three races on each day af-
ter Monday, under the superintendent
cy of the most experienced horsemen,
and rare sport will be afforded, as
some crack nags have been entered.
