GoBBLING UP AMERICAN PIE.

NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-Unprotected by

the great American pie has become the
slatest victim of the voracious trust appe-
tite. With capital of s3,O0o,0o0 the

Company was Incorporated in New Jersey,

produce pie that would meet the approval
of dietarians.
Property for central plant was pur-
chased at Eleventh Avenue and Thirty
Eighth Street, and is now being equipped
with machinery and ovens for producing
pies superlatiye in excellence. To enlight-
en- the public, the trust decided to open

AS was perhaps TO be expected, the open

somewhat stronger, with prices advanced
from yesterdays close and a general up

immense liquidation of the past week nat

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 19.-The military

opened here last night, brilliantly. 1t is
their purpose to raise runds for sending
a battalion of troops to the New York

while about twice as much is needed.
There is no doubt that the remainder OF
the sum will be secured without difficulty,
as the bazaar is being patronized by the

are still at work with the merchants of the
city, who are contributing generously to-

There were no peculiar features in this

ed to be the key to a large part of the
advances in prices. This was perhaps
particularly noticeable in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, which crept upward under the
influence of transactions of many thou
sands of shares. Manhattan and Metro
politan also advanced in the same way,
though the business in them was not
nearly so large. The old bulls on Brook
lyn are not all dead yet, as was to be
witnessed in predictions this morning, that
the stock will be selling above par again in
few days.
Leather preferred and common were,
as usual. particularly strong. There has
been little liquidation in these stocks, and
they are selling as high as they were two
weeks ago. The reason of this is ascribed
by many to The fact fhaf Mr.. Keene is
friendly TO the stocks,s and has not di-
rected his operations against them. The
company is, mshaHg a fne record Of earn
ings. tsFS i=sss
Tennessee Coal and Iron was strong,
getting as high as lis in the first half hour
of the day. Colorado Fuel and Iron was
also strong and there were tips to buy 1t
from good sources. The Tennessee COM
pany has again advanced. the price of pig
iron and its profits on the ton are now
far more than the entire price was year
ago. = =
Other Iron and Steel securities were
fairly strong at advanced prices. The
declaration of the regular dividend on the
preferred of American Steel and Wire and
the advance in the price of the principal
manufactures of this company have caus-
ed some fair outside buying of the stocks
at the lower prices of the past two days.
The grangers are now off ten points or
more from the prices of two weeks ago and
the fine condition of the crops and the pros
poets of immense business for these lines

The Limit of speed in Naval Vessels.
From the EngIneering Magazlne.

From the Engineering Magazine
The 420-ton destroyers lately ordered by
the United States government are an i'm
proVcment on the usual type. but we must
go a good deal further In the same dircc-
ton TO obtain a vessel meeting all the
conditions that such vessels must meet IN
sea service.
Recent requirement of territory by the
United States makes 1t necessary that
such vessels for It's navy shall have a
much greater radius of action and shall
be treated differently. In fact, If "A speed
of thirty knots or more is aimed at, a
sufficiently staunch seagoing vessel can
not be produced in the present state OF
the art. To obtain thirty knots within
the boats now credited with that speed, "a
supreme effort under expert MANAGEMENT
is required, which is seldom repeated III
the life of a boat
If the thirty-knot torpedo boat destroy
er's machinery were more substantial so
that full power could be exerted at any
time without risk, and If the hull were
sufficiently strong to stand a moderate
sea without danger, its speed would be
about twenty-seven knots. Yet venture
to say that such a boat, If ordered 20
reach a point al sea. say, 100 miles distant
would, under ordinary conditions, reach
that point in less time than would be re-
quired by the regulation thirty-knot boat,
which is said to get a horse power with
less than fifty pounds of machinery.

SLANG USED ny STAGE FOLK.
JarsOn That Is UninteIIigibIe to the
INITIATED.


Pretty nearly every profession boasts a
vocabulary of its own, and the theatrical
profession is not the least boastful in this
matter. There is a neatness and directness
about the vocabulary of the stage which
does not characterize that of any other In
stitutiOn.
What, for instance, could be more di-
rectly impressive of the volume of an even
ing's audience or the receipts to accrue
therefrom than the phrase Of playing to
the sas?' 1t is used in the general sense
in reference to small audiences, but strict
ly it means that an audience was only
large enough to render receipts sufficient
to pay the bill for the evenings lighting
playing to the gas is a hideous ex-
perience through which probably every
actor passes at some time in his career
and he not unreasonably hates it. He
would Infinitely rather play 10 'hOuse
fun Of paper The latter phrase means
an audience admitted mostly by free pass
es and the eXpI ession probably takes its
origin from the fact that 1t is customary
for thea tricaf managers 40 send free passes
to the dramatic critics of the press.
The crime of stealing thunder" is not
punisha under any penal code, but il is
a misdemeanor which no respectable the
atrical company should allow TO so unpun-
ished. il is not, however, so dangerous
crime as one might fancy. In prosy Eng
fish ID is the ofTense of accepting and ac-
knowledgiug as your own the applause due
10 another actor and working ii up on your
private account.
1t is very frequently done and some ac-
tors are wonderfully clever at the bust
ness. They will "ste1P' the thunder
every time they are ON the stage so TACT
fuzzy and artisUcally thai it is difficult
for the audience 10 believe that all the
honor is not due to them. Second-rate ac-
tor-managers are hardened offenders in
this matter.
"Ive got a shop in a fine crowd" ex-
claims Miss Tottie TwOfeet to a friend
"All the fat of the book, three curtains and
the tag We open on Tuesday and I'm aW-
fully fluffy. Jessie's walking on" To any
one inexperienced in the slang of the stage
the above speech would not convey much.
