Women In Smoking Cars.

While sitting In Long Island railroad
train / saw woman take out of her
pocket cigarette case and walk into the
smoking car. A few moments later l saw
her calmly light cigarette, toss the match
away and lean back lazily, putting the to-
bacco smoke and watching bits Of land
scape framed by the window.
She was a we'll groomed woman Of 30
perhaps, with brown hair and a face bear
ing the unmistakable stamp of refinement.
One cigarette finished, she lighted an
other in the same matter Of fact way,
while 30 pairs of masculine eyes looked
on with interest.
The conductor told me 1t was not in
frequent for women passengers to indulge
in q smoke while en- route from town to
country. They did it, he said, in the self
same spirit that man does, and 30 far as
he could see they had just as good right

inquired.

MURDER ON HIGH SEAS.

Salem. Mass, January 4.--Some Of the
particulars Of the murder of Frederick
Schecove. q laster of this city, upon the
high seas five weeks ago, were disclosed
today by the arrival Of Joseph Schecove, a
brother of the victim and Anna Schscovs.
u niece from New York. They have been
there in connection with the unfinished
trial of sailors who are charged with the
cYims. According to the story Frederick
had been working in Salem for some time
and had saved quito . little sum of
money. He started for his home in
Russia several weeks ago for the purpose
Of serving in Cars army and took pas
sage on sailing vessel for Liverpool
from New York five weeks ago As far
as can be learned. Frederick talked to the
crew about his having money and this
evidently aroused the desire in the breasts
of two OF the crew to possess themselves
OF the same. One night as Frederick WAS
asleep in his bunk he was stabbed. The
two men were placed in irons. 1t was
decided, as the vessel was an American
one to have the trial in New York and
the men were sent to that city.

FTNANoIAL REVIEW

New York. May 19.-Bradstreet's financial
review of the New York stock market will
say tomorrow:
Ex-Governor Flower had been the most
conspicuous bull leader for the past two
years and the success which had attended
his operations in Peoples Gas, Rock
Island, Federal Steel and other leading
stocks had given him an influence with the
speculative public unparalleled in the his
tory of the American markets The en-
tirely unexpected news of his death which
awaited Wall street on last Saturday morn
ing seemed to many the signal for de-
cided break in the market. On the other
hand it was quickly recognized that the
large financial interests engaged in the
market would be sure to prevent any Sc
rious mishap. This proved to be the case
and though at the opening on Saturday
morning flood of short selling and liqui-
dalton was met which carried Peoples Gas
down from 119 at the preceding nights
close to 101 Brooklyn Rapid Transit from
117% to 100 and Federal Steel from 61H to
so, with corresponding declines not only in
the Flower stocks but in other parts of the
list. there was almost instantly a sharp
rally. Brokers who are credited with act
ing for the Standard Oil interest, Mr..
Keene and other large operators had buy
ing orders and prices were advanced so
that large part of the early declines were
regalned. The danger of an outpouring
of the long stocks held by commission
houses for their customers was thus
averted and liquidation. if one was neces-
sary, became a question of time Further
assistance was given to the market by the
appearance of an excellent bank state
ment on Saturday and by the assurance
that the leading banks would, so far as it
was proper for them to do so, extend all
needful accommodation to stock market
borrowers.
1t also appeared that the late Mr.. Flower
had no large speculative holdings; that the
firm In which he was a partner would con-
tinue without change, and that his asso-
ciates were fully convinced of the value of
his properties. Beyond this it was recog-
nized that the larger interests of the street
having various important deals on hand,
like the Amalgamated Cooper company,
would not and could not allow the market
to become demoralized. Support from such
quarters was plainly apparent throughout
the week. The indisposition of the general
public to buy stocks and the tendency to

rescue long holdings was also mo less

rescue long holdings was also mo less
marked.
The marked strength of the bond market
and advance of government bond values,
together with the steadiness of the dividend
paying stock list was taken into account
by the market. but on the other hand the
granger shares seemed heavy-a fact at
tributed to the continuance of the unfa-
vorable crop runors The support which
has already been described was In the
earlier part of the week largely concen-
trated in the Flower and the industrials.
Sugar was made active and strong again
and further recoyeries scored in Peoples
Gas, Federal Steel, Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and other companies. The decision of Gov
ernor Roosevelt to call an extra session
of the New York legislature for the pur-
pose of amending the Ford franchise tax
bill was another incident having a favor
able effect on speculative sentiment. Never
theless by Thursday a renewed reaction
took place in the Flower stocks and indus
trials, while the report seemed to shift
to the grangers and the dividend payers.
On Friday the market was generally dull
and irregular and showed renewed dispo-
sition to sell off.

necessary supplies. The gun boats are now
going up the Rio Grande river and thus
opening up a new and effective route for
supplies to the entire army.
Burns from Cali sornIa
Representative De Vries, the only demo-
crat reelected to congress from California
last fall, was in Washington today. Since
congress adjourned he has been south and
east as we'll as on the Pacific coast. He
says that the governor of California is go
ing to appoint Burns to the vacancy in the
senate left by the failure of the legislature
to elect, and that the appointment will be
made with the understanding that he is
to be seated. He says that the statement
comes from the best sources for such in
forma ton that there Is an understanding
that both Quay and Burns are to be seated
He says that If the plan is carried out
public sentiment WILL in his Judgment,
change the complexion of the next Califor-
mia legislature, and that after the meeting
of the new legislature Burns will be sue
ceeded by democrat.
The democrats of California, he says, are
satisfied with Bryan, and expect his re-
nomination with the reaffirmat ton of the
Chicago platform. He says that under the
surface there is a very hard fight, centering
in New York and extending to the south,
and to some extent into the middle west,
against Bryan. but that it has not extended
into California, The opponents to free sill
yer, he says, are trying the best they know
how by organized underground work TO
overthrow Bryan. Their plan is not to try
to prevent the reaffirmation of the money
plank in the platform, but to give greater
promises to antitrust and anti-imperialism
as issues in the campaign, ignoring the
money question as far as possible. Their
aim, he says, is to do this, though they be
not able to get rid of Bryan. These efforts,
he says, are being put forth by politicians
who never were Bryan men, The demo-
Gratis generally, he thinks, are satisfied
with Bryan. A. w. B.
