Early declines in the stock market yes
terday were followed by good gains in the
afternoon so that the day was on the whole
a most satisfactory one to the friends OF
higher prices. The opening was at about
the prices OF the close on Thursday, and
for the FIRST hour the realizing movement
OF Thursday was continued except in a few
speeialties. The inherent strength and ag-
gressiveness OF the present market was
then shown, however, in recovery little
expected by the bears, and not looked for
with great hopefulness even by the bull
ishly inclined, in view OF the fear OF a
poor bank statement today, and the bor-
rowing OF money yesterday afternoon The
level at the close showed net gains in
nearly the entire list and the highest prices
OF this movement in some OF the spe-
claities. The present situation is a most
interesting one. There have been now two
weeks Of advancing prices. The heavy
realizing Of Thursday and yesterday morn
ing were considered by many the end OF the
bull movement. II was pointed out that
the advance in prices had extended for
many points and that in the middle OF
the summer such a rally was all that
should be expected. Notwithstanding this
talk, however, the boom certainly seemed
10 be as healthy yesterday at the close
Us il had been at any time before II is
difficult TO foretell the outcome and per-
haps impossible. but careful brokers and
other market critics near to the inside
interests persist in the belief that higher
prices are TO be seen this month, perhaps
very much higher. IL Is stated that the
NandeTbilts. the Goulds. the Standard Oil
crowd. and other most important inter
ests are beginning campaigns for bull
market OF breadth and magnitude. 1t is
worthy OF careful consideration IN this con
nection that the news OF the Vanderbilt
deals and Of other important happenings
In the financial world recently has been
given out apparently with great adroltness
with the clear intention OF helping along
the bull market. Each announcement OF
this kind has come when the market has
needed stimulus, and has been followed
by good buying for the public which is now
the one thing needed to make prices boom.

THE SHINE" PRIVILEGE.
Big Sums Demanded From boot
blacks In New York Buildings.

'ph Rht E|tN iuIh ltlDune.D
Since the bootblack's profession has fol-
lowed the general modern trend toward
Organization" 1t seems to have become
highly remunerative pursuit. At least,
this must be inferred from the high rates
which the bootblacking companies are re-
quired TO pay for the privilege of carrying
on their business in certain desirable
places Some time ago people were sur
prised to hear of the large sum that had
been paid by the head of one of these com
panies for the exclusive bootblacking
rights on the boats of one of the ferries

ed for company, and were not in the
business every one for himself" was
quite new to most persons. little later
they received still further proof of the
modern methods of the profession when
they saw the cash register carried by each
boy, in which he was required to deposit
all the prices of his Shines
But the latest development and the one
that best illustrates how the business must
pay is the rent charged for bootblacks'
chairs in the new giant office buildings
There are several OF these structures in
which the exclusive shoeshining rights are
rated as being worth from 81 900 to So
600 year in rental to the owners Of the
buildings. In one OF the newest and

Gently offered $1,000 for the privilege of
operating ten chairs for a year. This sum
was refused without an instanfs consid-
Grafton, the owners asserting that SO, 600
a year was the least they would accept
BY figuring n little 1t is easy to see how
much each chair would have to make to
pay it's rent alone, leaving out Of reckon
ing the wages of its operator Allowing
300 business days TO the year, the rent for
each of the ten chairs would be 81 day
That would mean twenty b-cent shines
1t is not likely that the hootblack who
presides over one of these chairs could be
hired for less than 81 a, day., and this
brings the expense of maintaining the
chair up to 81 daily, requiring forty scent
shines. 'U
Now, unless bootblack could obtain
more than forty shines day his company
would lose money on the chair-that is, II
the high rent OF 81 day were being paid
on 1t. Whether or not the owners of the
building have yet succeeded in convincing
any bootblacking company that the privi-
lege of ten chairs there is worth $1,000
the very fact that so large sum is fixed
upon by them. and that two thirds of that
amount Is already being paid elsewhere for
the same thing, proves that the business
of polishing shoes. as 1t Is now carried on.
is more profitable than many a higher
sounding enterprise.

New York, July There is no very de-
cided opinion on the market at the present
moment, owing to the difficulty of obtain
ing definite news from Texas. This situa-
tion will most likely continue for some
days. There is a tendency to take more
conservative view as to the extent of the
crop less. The July Bureau report on Mon
day next may or may not possess sufficient
feature to infuse interest in the market.
The June report showed $751; general condi-
tion and the last years July 91.2. The re-
port next week will not touch upon the
Texas situation, being made up only to the
end of June. On the whole, the crop is
doing well in the entire cotton belt outside
OF Texas. The trade is holding back for
more news from that State.
The early market was again an affair OF
insignifcance. The price moved up a
point or SO and it looked like waiting
market for while, both sides being easily
scared into buying or selling. The same
nervousness and hesitation was exhibited
as characterized the market yesterday

TENTS FOR THE ARMY.
An Improvement Over the Old shelter
Tent-CRn he Used
Hammock, Also.

The army has been having some
trouble with its shelter tents. The re-
ports of the officers in the field indicate
that the tents are but poor protection
against tropical rains, and that they
are waterproof only by the addition of
heavy rubber blankets, which add to
the weight carried by the soldiers, TO
the manifest impeachment of his prog
ress. Already quartermasters have un-
der consideration a sample tent which
will be tested in the Philippines. 1t
is devised by Capt. John S. Parke, of
the Twenty-first infantry, who has just
gone to Manila to join his command.
The Parke tent is of heavier material
than the old shelter tent, and is made
it may be used as hammock for the
support of two men, the tent poles be-
ing hammock supporters. The poles
also form the handles of two intrench-
ing tools, a pick and shovel, each made
of aluminium, of which material the
poles are made. The tent will also
serve as a covering for the blanket roll
carried by the troopers.
The same officer mas invented sub
stitute for the old wooden field desk,
the cumbersomenes of which has been
an annoyance to the officers. The new
device is a bag to be slung over the
shoulder, weighing about ten or twelve
pounds, against the $50 pounds of the
old desk. Compartments are provided
for the various blanks and reports
which must be made by the officer in
the field, and there are tubes attached
for the preservation Of writing mate
rials, mucilage, etc.

sNIpE SHOOTING.
Preserves ola the Atlantic Coast Have
Been Leased by EN-President
Cleveland.

Ex-President Cleveland, in company
with Rev. L. Il. Phillips, pastor of the
Village NJ. L. church, has become the
proprietor of leased property for shoot
ing purposes on Sandwich marshes.
Mr.. Cleveland's first visit here was
during the fight of snipe and plover
early last fall. Previous to that he had
heard of the shooting advantages, and
inquired of the selectmen for some one
to guide him to the grounds. He was
referred TO Rev. Mr.. Phillips, and from
this introduction great shooting posi-
bilities have been opened for the ex-
president.
Mr.. Cleveland's first trip was not sue
cessful, but on the second visit bag of
20 plover was taken, and this days
shooting undoubtedly established in
the visitors mind the reputation of the
blinds, for at it's end he suggested leas-
ing the property for shooting purposes,
the preserve to take in all the available
property. To-day he has under control
mile of shore on Barnstable bay, run
ming east to the site of the old Cape Cod
canal property, and from there in a
southerly direction to Sycamore hill,
taking in vast area of meadow be-
tween Scussett harbor, the old canal and
Sycamore. The distance across the pre-
serve is such that one could scarcely
see birds on a clear day when they first
crossed the line of the preserve. On the
shore line east of the harbor the lease
extends to the low-water mark, and on
the west of the harbor, on what are
Scussett harbor marshes proper, TO
highwater mark. The whole entirely
surrounds the main harbor, making it
one of the best shooting preserves in
the United States.

MAY ASK FOR ANNEXATION.
Growing Sentiment in Cuba for the
Union of that Island with
the United States.

Nearly every one who returns from
Cuba, both in official and unofficial cir
cles, speaks of the rapid growth of the
annexation sentiment in that island. 1t
is said that practically all of the bust
ness men and those who own property
are anxious to see the island annexed
to this country, as this would insure
a stable government for the Cubans
and they would feel secure in their civ
il and property rights.
This sentiment is rapidly crystalliz-
ing, and recent arrivals from Cuba pre-
dict that before the American troops
are removed from the island petitions
will be made for annexation. The adj
ministration has no policy for the an
neXation of Cuba and cannot have any
on account of the declaration in the
Cuban resolution; which said: THE
United States hereby disclaims any in
tention to exercise sovereignty, juris-
diction or control over said island, eX-
cept for the pacification thereof, and
asserts it's determination, when that is
accomplished to leave the government
and control of the island to its people"
The language of this resolution is so
plain that il cannot be misunderstood
and therefore the petition must come
from the Cubans. Notwithstanding this
a belief is growing in administration
circles that Cuba will eventually ask
this government to take the island un-
der its protecting wing and give these
people "A stable government. At the
same time it is felt that SO many Amer
lean lives have been sacrificed and so
much American money expended in
driving Spain from the island, it would
only be a fair recompense to turn the
Gem of the Antilles over to the United
States

FUTILE AND PUERILE.
Opinion of a German Delegate Con-
corning the Coming Disarma-
ment Conference.

The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times says: prof Won STEM
gel, of the Munich university, who will
be one of the German delegates to the
disarmament conference at The Hague
next month, has published pamphlet
opposing the advocates of perpetual
peace. He declares that endeavors to
secure it are futile and puerile, and that
no peace conference, even though con-
voked by car and attended by the
most skillful diplomatists and states
men will succeed in establishing uni
versal peace.
"On the contrary, he contends that
such conferences involve the danger of
intensifying existing differences, and
he asserts that so far as Germany is con-
cerned, she has still to achieve her
rightful position in the politics of the
world.
I'm commenting upon Won Stengel's
pamphlet, the Berliner Post says it is
"A source of great satisfaction that the
German delegates are free from vague
illusions of universal fraternization.' :"

REpARTEE IN RHYME.
How Friends of Hermann Oelrichs
Ate Terrapin at HIS Expense nnd
How He Got Back at TheIs.

Hermann Oelrichs has written and
published in an edition de luxe OF %
copies book entitled ''Terrapiniana."
1t is all In verse and is illustrated by
Walt MacDougall. The idea,grew out Of
jest which some of Mr.. Oelrichs'
friends played at his expense.
Hermann Oelrichs was wont TO boast
that he knew ali there was to know
about terrapin and the various ways
that succulent reptile can be prepared
for human digestion. Knowing this, a
number of his California friends band
ed themselves together and conspired
against him. They pretended not to
believe him-said he was only bluffing,
and by such gibes and taunts as these
ner and invite them all to sit in judg-
ment around it. And thus it came to
pass that Mr.. Oelrichs was indicated
and his traducers were fed.
But the end is not yet. One of the
guests at this dinner was Clay M.
Greene, the playwright. Mr.. Greene
wrote a letter, and he wrote it in verse,
although he attempted to disguise that
fact by neglecting to divide the lines ac-
cording to the rules of prosody. The fol-
lowing lines are samples:
Accept this clumsy platitude sug-
gestive of my gratitude. In all my life
I've never been so prodigally fed.
II hope l did nothing too malapropos,
for drafts from golden chalices and
lounging about palaces is just a step be-
yond the line that | am wont to GO"
Mr.. Oelrichs, after mature reflection,
resolved to beat the poet at his own
game. So he indited letter, beginning
thus:
No Mahmoud Pasha, on his rich red divan
In Constantinople or far Ispahan,
In sleepy Damascus or lively STEAMBOAT,
Or Peri-which is livelier still, as rule
No bearded old harem-raised son-of-a-
gun,
Ever, propped on his pillows, had one-half
the fun
That you, my dear Greene, in your jingle
some letter,
Gave to me, who perpetually now am your
debtor.

answer have been made into a little

Suggests n Municipal Crematory.

Mayor Quincy, of Boston, has sug-
gested that the city should build a mu-
nicipal crematory in which to incin-
crate the bodies of paupers, criminals
and others whose burial devolves upon
the city. The idea is to do away alto
gether with the potter's field. 1t is as
serted that the city could cremate bod
les ut cost of only one dollar each,
while ii costs three dollars to dig a
grave. The present potter's field will
be filled before the expiration of the
present year. The burials now amount
to about 500 year and increase in
number yearly.
