a dividend on the common stock next
month at the rate OF per cent. condi-
tion quite as attractive is enjoyed by the
Federal Steel securities. The general re-
port is that the dividend on the common
stock will be at the per cent rate, but it
is known that a per cent rate has been
considered and not yet given up. All the
securities of these companies were in
active yesterday, especially those of the
Steel and Wire common. The general idea
was that the stories OF Chicago selling of
the stocks had a depressing influence on
them. There was inside buying OF all of
these issues, and the people supposed to
represent the Flower view most accurately
are predicting every day with great per-
sistence that they will advance rapidly
within the next two months.
There is much bullsh talk regarding
Amalgamated Copper. The banks are sup
posed to look on the stock with more favor
than they have shown the new industrials
generally, reflection perhaps OF the fact
that the company is backed by the heaviest
financial interests in the country. The
best information obtainable is that the
concern has refused to take in any COM
pany unable TO show at least per cent
for dividends. This is understood to mean
that this rate of dividends will be paid by
the trust.

The strongest securities on the list yes
terday were the anthracite coalers, which,
after several days of extreme weakness,
developed a sudden energetic tendency to
advance. The gossip of the street was cor
roboratiye of the suggestion made in this
column yesterday that the roads are now
working on harmonious basis.

buying on this side is noticeable despite

on the stock next month. As matter of
fact the per cent dividend will be de-
elared on June I, according to schedule.
somewhat over per cent is being earned
on the stock, and if the present good pros
poets for the road are fulfilled it is probable
that the rate will be advanced from to
per cent in December, or even to T. One

Memorial Service.

II HE ANNUAL memorial service
or the organization was con-
Quoted last evening in the high
school auditorium. While not q very
large number were present, owing to
the sudden departure for home of so
many of the delegates, nevertheless the
entire programme was carried out as
planned and proved very interesting.
The programme opened with an over
ture by Bauer's orchestra, after which
the ritualistic memorial service and
eulogistic addresses on deceased mem-
bers of the state council were given,
The two members of the state coun-
ell who have died during the past
year are John A. Marlin, of Phladel-
phia, one Of the state trustees. and H.
c. Zeigler of York, a delegate to the
national council. The address in mem
ory of Mr.. Marlin was delivered by
state Treasurer John w. Calver, Of
Philadelphia, personal friends of the
deceased.
Mr.. Marlin up to the time OF his
death was one Of the most prominent
members of the order in the state. He
served as president of the Philadelphia
school board for several terms.
The address in memory of Mr.. Zeig-
Ter was delivered by James w. Nc
Cleary, of Pittsburg. The ritualistic
memorial service was read by Presi-
dent Marvin Tuthill, of the local en-
tertainment committee.
The rest of the programme was in
the order of an entertainment. The
Schubert quartette rendered Robin
Adam" "The Vacant Chair" "The Corn
Is Waving, Annie Dear" and Nearer
My God to Thee" in it's usual splndid
manner. Miss Martha Matthews rem
dered two contralto solos in a pleas
ing manner and the Basfield sisters
the two charming young entertainers
from North Scranton, contributed to
the programme. The youngest re-
cited "The Dime Museum and the
latter sang "My Wild Irish Rose" ac-
companying herself on the guitar.

| provided with the privileges of the
|
open last evening and which are as at
| tractively furnished and equipped as
| almost any club rooms in the city. The
| dues to be collected are not expected to
be sufficient to pay the running eXren-
ses and the members Of the guild will
pay the balance.
The particular feature Of the entire
| plan however is tne freedom which
| IL. .
ments Smoking is to be permitted in
There is already billiard room
| equipped with the particular Bruns-
wick. Bake billiard table that won first
prize at the Worlds fair, being the gift
| of Edward Jermyn. A pool table is to

open all day and evening and the en-
tire club is to he entirely divorced

Order of the Eastern Star.

A meeting of Aneta Chapter. No 10.
Order of the Eastern Star, will be held
this, Friday, evening, September 90, at
Guernsey Hall, Washington avenue, at
1880. All members are invited to attend
as business of Importance will be trans
acted. BY order of the w. p.
The Order of the Eastern Star or
Androgynaus Masonry, are supposed
to have been introduced into this coun-
try by the French officers who assste /
our government during the struggle
for liberty. The titles of Jeptha's
Daughter, Ruth, Esther, Martha and
Electa sufficiently denote the histories
Comprehended in the degrees, the whole
ritual seems to be prepared in wisdom
and beauty, and If we believe what the
enthusiastic .nasons of Europe say
concerning T. the advantage of strength
was not wanting in its organization.
The order Of Easter Star is closely
related to the Masonic fra ternity, here
all master nasons in good standing,
their wives, daughters, mothers. widows
and sisters of masons may become CO.
laborers with the great brotherhood In
the service of humanity and all those
are eligible to become members Of the
order
