BOSTON & MAINE RISES.

Continued duiness characterized spec
ulation in Wall street today.
Prices held less steadily than during
the latter part of last week, but no es-
pecial weakness developed. Holders Of
securities argue trat. with general
business upon go sound a basis, with
the demand for manufactured goods so
large and with mills and factories book
Ing orders ahead, there is no question
concerning the ability Of the transpor-
tation companies TO profit largely
through the freight traffic in sight.
This feeling predominates and results
in a minimum Of selling which Offsets
the paucity of buying orders, although
no advance in prices can be expected
until some new market leader points
the way for others to follow. A strong
revival In speculative activity hardly is
II be thought of during the vacation
season.
Tha opening Of the Wall street stock
market was very quiet, most of the rail-
road stocks tending downward. Losses
were small, and the grangers showed
an improving tendency after the open
ing. Inactivity of the London market
and absence Of support were RESPONSE
bic for the lower opening. Local trac-
tion stocks were exceptions in opening
higher on the absence Of further
trouble with strikers, but were sold
afterwards. Prices later developed a
sagging tendency in sympathy with
free liquidation in Consolidated Gas and
offerings Of Sugar. These properties
lost 3 and / per cent respectively, but
declines elsewhere were not large.
There were declines Of a point in Man
haitian, Federal Steel, American Lin
seed Oil preferred; net gains of / and
IA respectively were made by Iowa
Central preferred and Pressed Steel
preferred. The demand for bonds was
small and the dealings irregular.

on the Boston exchange yesterday on
stocks held in Worcester and vicinity

Prosperity, higher interest rate and

seemed to be impossibiiities, and yet
there Is slow. but sure, changing Of
belief IN this respect among many, and
not a few hold the conviction that this

One bear was down and badly hurt.
The other bear, No. 2, was bleeding
profuscly about the head and one Of
his legs seemed to be crippled. As
for the stallion, he was fearfully torn
on every one Of his four legs.
But before l could take in the full
extent Of injuries given and received
by the three fighters, they were all
again on the move. The bears this
time separated to attack the stallion
from different quarters, but they met
with a ring general, for the horse

Down went both, hoofs and claws

came down with all four feet on his
PROSTATE foe, crushing bone, flesh and

giving his dying foe glance, the
crazed stallion snrang at his other en-

his feet. Again the stallion sprang
into the air, with his four feet gath

sickening crunch of bone and flesh.
Both bears were now dead, crushed
and kicked into two bloody masses Of
wool, bone and flesh.
At his last dash the horse walked
away a few steps, then, turning, stag

knocked out, knelt down and literally
tore skin and flesh from the bear
body; then with bloody head and glis-

to staggcr over to the mass Of wool

manner.
After tearing and battcringt the body

Ten Bcaus for Every Girl in Idaho.

With the bachelors outnumbcring
the maids in every State in the Union
it ought to be easy for the unmarried
woman to secure a partner anywhere,
but the region where bachelors are
most in excess is, Of course, the most
favorable to the spinster, since, the
abundance of unmarried men gives her
wider range Of choice. From mat
rimonial point Of view Idaho is the
best State Of the Union, for there the
number of bachelors is to that of tie
maids as 6.3S4 to l,426, each unmar-
ried woman in Idaho, therefore. having
10 or II bachelors, not exactly at her
back, but available as a husband.
From most points Of view the west is
the Mecca Of the young unmarried wo-
men, fox not only are there more un-
married men in the western States,
but living is more easily made in
the west than in the east, and there
fore the western men are more addict
ed to matrimony.
