STOCKS AND bonds.

New York, Dec. 12-Ilhe stock mar
ket displayed feyerish tone, as con-
sequence of the violent shakedoWm of
yesterday Although there was some be-
lated liquidation, prices were not with
out support at amy time, and where
breaches were made in values the char
aGtar of the buying ut the decline made
it look as though the manipulation for
a fall was for the purpose of taking ON
stocks. There was a notable volume of
commission house buying, which indicated
that outsiders had been attracted by the
lower level of prices. There were points
im the Industrial list which displayed
notable resistance all day and during
the latter part of the trading some posi-
tive strength. Some of the sharp de-
clines in the railroad list, notably in the
Changers, We're attributed to shifting
of holdings from that group into some
of the Industrials. The Changers touch
ed lower prices than in the demoraliza-
tion of yesterday, and they were prac
tically the only stocks in the list to
do so.
That there is still large and aggres-
sive bear party i'm the market was evil
dent. Their tactics were moderately sue
cessful i'm the morning, especially in the
cases of Tennessee Coal and Metropoli-
tan Street Railway, which were forced
down 81 and 53I respectively Money
at mo time ruled over eight per cent and
in the afternoon was offered down to 4
per cent. Traders generally turned to
the bull side and marked mp stocks to
the neighborhood of last nights level,
and in some instances materially above
it. Prominent tSpecialties showed re-
coyeries from the low point, ranging from
two to over five points. Sugar, Brook

especially notable in the rally In tine

New York, Dee. 12,-With the excep-

Commission house brokers had very few

nervous. fearing a possible effort on the
part of some of the leading bull houses
to bring about a decided uplift. But
with the above mentioned order execu-

exceedingly narrow. The market held

PEACE CONFERENCE ASSEMBLIES.

The peace conference called by the
Gar of Russia was opened at two
O'Clock Monday in the hall of the. Huis
Ten Bosch, or the "House in the
Woods" two miles from The Hague.
M. De Beaufort, president of the
council and minister of foreign affairs
of the Government of the Netherlands
delivered the inaugural address and
welcomed the delegates.
M. De Beaufort spoke of the high
honor of the choice of The Hague as
the meeting place of the conference,
and extolled the noble initiative of the
czar, saying that this would be red
letter day in the history of the century
and expressed the hope that his ma
jesty would be able to look back at
this as the most glorious day of his
life. He concluded with calling at
tention to the allegorical group over
the doorway of the hall, Peace en-
tering to close the Temple of Janus,
and said: ''I trust this beautiful allie
CORY will be a good augury of your
labors, and that after you have COM
pleted them you will be able to say
that Peace, whom art introduced into
this hall, left it to spread it's blessings
among the world of humanity"
The delegates decided to send the
following message to the czar. ''The
peace conference lays at the feet of
your majesty its respectful congratu-
lations upon the occasion of your
birthday and expresses it's sincere de-
sire to cooperate III the great aud
noble work in which your majesty has
taken a generous initiative and for
which it begs you to accept its humble
and profound gratitude

HOME FROM MANILA.

Few Barton boys have travelled over
the world as much as Ernest Peterson.
When the Spanish American war
broke out the old love OF travel and
excitement prompted him to enlist as
a private in the hospital corps of the
69th New York reserves. Before Err
nest was i25 years old he had en-
circled the globe. When he left Bar
ton some Is years since, he went to
work in the Fairbanks scale shops at
st. Johnsbury. One day, about two
years after his arrival, he announced
to his friends that he was going to
make the trip around the world even
if it took him ten years. He had saved
quite little money and knew that by
carefulness he had almost enough to
carry him via San Francisco to China,
and he felt that he could work his
way if necessary, from that point to
England and thence to New York. So
one day in the early summer he start
ed. He reached San Francisco all
right and took sailing ship for Hong
Kong via the Hawaiian islands. His
was a pleasure trip and he was in no
particular hurry ,and after an unevent-
full voyage of some two months, ar
rived in China as healthy and strong
as he was the day he left Vermont.
But he reached Hong Kong in a bad
season of the year. The weather was
very warm, and worst of all he was
taken i'll with the smallpox, put into
the pest house and came very near
dying. After several weeks he was
discharged from this place but his
money was gone and like true Yam
kee soon found position as an atten-
dant at the. English goal in the city
Having learned something of the art
of nursing by keen observation, he
subsequently entered an English hos
pital as nurse where he remained for
a year. Having secured enough money
to take him home he continued his
journey via India, the Suez canal and
London, reaching home two years
after his departure. After his arrival
in America Mr.. Peterson took up the
profession of a nurse, and has grad
ually worked himself higher and high
er until he is now the assistant super
intendent of the Mills Training School
for Nurses in connection with Belle
vue Hospital, New York City, the
only training school for male nurses
in this country. This institution was

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear There Is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is By consti-
tutional remedies Deafness IS caused by an
infiamed condition OF the mucus lining OF the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored 70 its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an in:iamed condition OF
the mucus surfaces
