A Pathetic Incident.

happening that am about to relate. was
In the office of an oculist one of the lead
ing men in his profession in Pittsburg. A
big. strong and healthy looking man en-
tered His appearance indicated that he
had many years of life before him. He
was well dressed, keenly intelligent and
of pleasant countenance.
Doctor, my eyes have been troubling
me. and I would like you to make an ex-
animation of them and treat them
After a few preliminary questions the
doctor told him to strip himself to the
waist He took off his clothes and stood
there a magnificent specimen of manhood.
The doctor examined him, paying particu-
lar attention to his back for a reason of
which I knew nothing. Having finished,
he said:
"Put on your clothes: I can do nothing
for you. Your sight may last six months,
but no longer. Treatment will do no good.
Blindness is sure to come.
whats the matter, doctor?'' he asked
quietly, with a faint tremor In his voice.
The doctor told him in technical language
and then explained that the trouble came
from the wasting of a nerve leading from
whats your bill. dector?' asked the
man when he got his clothes on.

He paid it and left the Office without an
other word. In the fuliness of life he
walked out into the blessed light Of day.

months. 1t was an incident to the doctor;

Base Bali Association of
That City.

ST. LOUIS, January 13.-when the case
of the Mississippi Trust Company VS..

in Spencer's division OF the circuit court
today, Chris Won der Abe, the base ball
magnate, was not present. He sent doc
tors certificate saying he was confined to
his bed with severe attack Of the grip.
Judge Spencer decided to hear the de-
position of President Young of the National
League, taken In Washington recently, to
decide the owner hip of the national base
ball franchise held in st. Louis and claim
ed, respectively, by Won der Abe and Re-
ceiver Muckenfuss, the latter appointed on
behalf of the trust company and other
creditors. ..s= ..- r--... ......
VIM. Remark, Won der Ahe's attorney
then proceeded to read the deposition of
President Young. When he came to the
cross-examination part of the deposition
Mr.. Kennerk handed the document over to
the trust company's attorney, Mr.. Ramell,
and he continued the reading. In his direct
examination President Young told how
the st. Louis franchise in the national
league belonged to the ST. Louis Base Ball
Association of which Won der Abe is presi-

On crosS-eXamination he told how the
contracts had been sent in by the Sports

10 StuOy Judge COKE Code.
The understanding about the city hall
this afternoon is that the special commit
tee of the Bar Association engaged I'm ex-
aiming the code OF Law prepared by Jus
tice Cox Will ask that further postpone
ment of trials be ordered.
The attorneys say that the two weeks
granted. expiring tomorrow. has not been
a period sufficiently long to permit of a
complete perusal OF Justice Coxs work.
Therefore, the court will in all probability
be requested to further postpone the call
of the trial calendar for two weeks, or a
longer period.
No matter what action may be taken in
this connection, as regards the circuit and
equity branches. 1t is not believed that the
trials of criminal cases will be longer de-
layed. At all events the district attorney
would in all likelihood vigorously oppose
any suggestion of further postponement of
the cases that his office is called upon to
prosecute, for the reason that the docoket
is fast reaching a crowded condition, and
should be relieved at once

GENERAL MARKET REPORT

Special Dispatch TO The Evening star
NEW YORK, January I3.-Some improve

for the ground already covered. had a
beneficial influence on prices In all depart

The news items OF the day We're mainly
relative TO consultations and advantageous
working agreements. The coal stocks were
influenced by rumors OF closer relations be-
tween New Jersey Central, Reading aud
Lackawanna. The first named property
rallied easily under the influence of these
rumors, a moderate short account helping
the advance. The coal situation may be
improved by the closer relationship now
evidently desired by all the larger proper
ties. but there is much that is purely specu-
lative i'm the prevailing demand.
The Granger shares. with their recogniz-

Granger properties, with st. Paul and Rock
Island following with equal relative
strength. ST. Paufs reports warrant the
confidence of its friends and Rock Island

The latter property has been bought lfb-
orally on the prospect of the price crossing

movement.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit advanced under
the announcement that the much discussed
Nassau consolidation had actually taken
place. This combination has been depended
upon to ma tertially improve the position
OF the stockholders Of the Brooklyn COM
pany- The buying OF the stock was similar
IN character to that which has heretofore
preceded substantial additions to the price.
Atchison issues, particularly the preferred
stock, are looked upon as likely to resume
their advance in the near future. Recent
heavy realizings in the preferred shares has
been without the radical consequences OF
such liberal movement in ordinary times.

American Sugar advanced under a rather
mixed demand. but the industrial depart

Where stocks were neglected prices did
not yield significantly, and this fact is
pointed to as one of the evidences of latent
strength. There are many non-dlvidend
paying issues which admittedly higher
than conditions warrant but the argu-
ments favora BILE to a general selling move

of the giants tends to add vitality to the
