- don't think there is anything worse
than a iault.hnder-habitual, chronic.
Nothing ever suits such individuals, or
ever could be arranged to please. Usu-
ally critics and fault-fnders are the most
poorly equipped, mentally, to pose as
such. Their object seems to be to AFRO
gate a good deal to themselves and to de-
tract from others, and it is universally
reversed.

building. and it is alleged that they did
not get along amicably.
Several months ago when the couple
lived at the corner of Ninth and E Streets
northwest Mrs. Monroe attempted suicide.
it is said, by shooting herself in the head
because of trouble with her husband.
Since then, however, it is said reconcile
alton has been effected and the couple
lived peaceably together.
Last night Mrs. Monroe called Policeman
Stacy, of the Sixth precinct. and asked him
to arrest her husband, alleging that he had
beaten her. Stacy told the woman she
had better see the policeman on the beat
on which they lived, and gave her direc-
tions where to find him. Mrs. Monroe
seems to have changed her mind. as she
did not seek another officer.
Monroe was seen at late hour last
night and appeared to have been drinking
heavily. Little is known Of his movements
this morning until about IL o'clock, when
he came into the house and gave Mrs. Mon-
roe money, asking her to go to the market
Immediately.
On returning she found the door of the
room locked and forced 1t open. As she
entered the room she detected the odor
Of gas and upon investigation found her
husband in the condition stated.
Mrs. Monroe told Policeman Whalen she
had not had any trouble at all with her
husband and they had lived peaceably to-
gether for some time. His action in at
tempting to end his life, she stated, was
inexplicable Monroe has only been a let
ter carrier for short time and was not
yet a member of the regular force.

RAPID STOCK DEALINGS.
The Market Opens Strong and Shares
Go Forward.

New York, May 1s.-The stock market
opened exceedingly strong and active, with
advances that extended to one point and
over. The dealings were again well diver
sified, and interest was as well expressed
in the standard issues as in the industrials
and the specialties. Still the conspicuous
advances in the early dealings were in the
latter quarter.
Sugar Refining, the Federal Steel shares,
Peoples Gas. and Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit all rose rapidly on large dealings The
grangers, the Pacific stocks, New York
Central, and other standard issues were in
fair demand. Among the specialties. Tenn
essee Coal and Iron and the Chicago Ter
minal issues were strong. Following upon
the initial rise the market began to re-
fleet heavy profit realizing sales. under
which sharp reccssions were common, par
ticularly in the so-called Flower stocks.
The London market for American stocks
showed pronounced advances, but the deal
ings here for foreign account were small

The earnings statement Of Ontario and
Western for the six months ending March
81 is one of the best ever made by the
company. The increase for this period
was $119, 900. The stock is selling at Is
and it is going into the hands Of investors
who expect 70 make q handsome turn on It
in the next few months.
The buying of all the stock companies
allied to the steel and iron trade was ex-
cellent this morning. The Federal Steels,
the American Steel and Wires, Tennessee
Coal and Iron and Colorado Fuel and Iron
were all bought in large blocks. and des-
pite disposition to realize showed by a
large crowd Of the public the stocks were
well held up. 1t seems certain that much
higher prices will be made on all these
stock during the next few weeks.
The Vanderbilt stocks were all strong
this morning and New York Central espe-
cially seemed inclined to make new high
price records for this movement. 1t seems
to be a general understanding now that
the company will pay higher dividend.

The stock market this morning was ac-
tive and strong, and all the indications
were that higher prices would be the or
der of the day, and, for that matter. Of that
of the week. The opening was fractionally
above the close last night, and for the first
few minutes of the day there was realiz-
ing by the people who have profited by the
great advances of the past four days. AS
soon as this little movement was over,
however, the very large buying that was
apparent all the time began to force prices
up again. The recessions Of the early trad
ing ranged from a small fraction to two
points, according to the character Of the
stocks, but the subsequent rallies carried
prices back to their top figures before the
end of the morning hours. The theory
most in favor with the bulls is that. the
leaders Of the market at present, the Flow
er brokers, the Standard Oil crowd, and
the vanderbilts to less extent, will not
let any reaction extend far for fear Of
frightening the public SO that it will not
come into the market again. The steady
advance of prices is an excellent way to
give the public confidence, and, at the same
time. when this element does begin to
buy it will find the level considerably above
the low of Saturday.
The chief realizing of the morning was
udtuIdliy Al sugar anu Tue uOSI dCttVe
Flower issues. They were the stocks to ad-
vance most rapidly yesterday, and the peo-
pie who have made twenty points, more or
less, in them during the past few days
naturally, many Of them. are now ready to
take profits. The buying, however, was SO
large that within a very few minutes the
loss OF the opening had been regained and
the upward movement was apparently in
full swing again.
The talk of Sugar is particularly bullish.
and It was said on all sides that the stock
is likely to go to 40 quickly. One Of the
best posted and most Important people in
the street wired over to his correspondent
here this morning to buy Sugar for good
advance. The talk Of the ending Of the
sugar war is heard frequently, but the
of3cials Of the trust seem anxious to deny
1t.
