ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.
Charles Anderson Held for Roh6ing
Mrs. Mary Il. Hawkes..

Charles Anderson, colored, % years of
age, was yesterday arrested in Baltimore
by Detectives Horne and Weldon, and
locked up at No. ! station to answer to
charge of grand larceny. and also to ap-
pear as witness against Annie Fisher,
who was arrested Wednesday for a rob-
berry committed at the Hotel Regent On
January Is, as published in The Times.
The robbery for which Anderson is held
was committed last April at the home of
Mrs. Mary r. Hawkes., 1906 X Street north
west. when $2S in cash and watch valued
at $40 were stolen. The Fisher woman
was at that time employed in the house as
a servant, and it was thought she was the
thief. II now develops that, though she
may have had a part in the affair, the
real thief was Anderson.
When Anderson was arrested yesterday
he had $50 gold piece in his pocket
which he claimed had been given him by
the Fisher woman when she was in Balti-
more several days ago. The coin was
stolen from the Hotel Regent together
with other money, checks, railroad passes
etc. by the Fisher woman on January is.
Both Anderson and Annie Fisher will
probably be arraigned in court this morn
ing. The latter was yesterday photo
graphed and measured for the rogues gal

Honest Effort.

1t has taken three years hard work to
establish the present standing Of this in
stitution. No chance or accident, decep-
tion or false claims could have withstood
this all powerful test of time. Results, not
promises, prove true merit. For the sec
ond time in three years DR.. Cowden has
been obliged to increase his Office facilities
TO meet the demands OF growing prac-
tice until at the present time three con-
sulting physicians, in three separate con-
sultation rooms. together with three sep
arate treatment rooms and an enlarged
waiting room, are required to accommo-
date patients, in order that each may re-
ceive the always careful attention their
case may require to bring about the best
and quickest results.
In further proof of DR.. Cowden's honesty
of purpose, the offer of a free trial treat
ment is made that every patient may in
vestigate for himself, without the needless
expenditure of one penny.

KLEPPER THROWS THE TALENT.
A Top-Heavy Handicap Favorite, He
Finishes Last.

New Orleans, Feb. 2.-Klepper's miser-
able showing in the handicap, when he
finished last. resulted in Fred Open
heimer, the reputed owner, and Jockey
Maher, who rode Klepper, being called
into the stand and questioned by the stew
ards. Just what excuses the Two made for
the horses poor performance was not
made public, but the mere calling up of
Oppenheimer is convincing proof that the
latter's methods will not go with Captain
Reese.
Klepper was the heavily-backed favorite,
He got of third, but was never able to i'm
prove his position, falling back al the head
OF the stretch and finishing last. The race
was won by Debride, the second choice,
who beat Sensational a head after a hard
drive HanIight, 10 to 2, and the Star OF
Bethlehem, the fayorite, had it between
themselves in the stretch in the fifth race,
and Hanlight well ridden by OConnor,

STOCKS IRREGULAR.
Pronounced Changes I'm the Tone of
the General Market.

New York. Feb. 2-Today's stock mar
ket as whole was very irregular, there
being several pronounced changes in tone
in the general market while throughout
the day some stocks showed evident sup
port while other important issues were
under equally evident pressure. The gran
ger shares were conspicuous in this last
respect, though there was no particular
explanation of the selling in this quarter
The regular dividend of 1-2 per cent was
declared upon Burlington and Quincy
and. of course. no higher rate was eX-
pected in any well-informed quarter yet
that stock was sold with the greatest ag
gressiveness. The dividend on st. Paul
will be declared in about six weeks and
no change in the rate is looked for in that
instance either At all events the granger
shares in a sharp afternoon break served
to unsettle the general market. though it
should be added that the selling of these
Stocks seemed TO be chiefly by tho profess
sional board room traders and their
efforts met with the greater success be-
cause of the recent reversion of general
interest into other quarters of the market.
The days news was chiefly of Il routine
character, but was for the most part
wholly favorable. a reduction in the Bank
OF England's discount rate to ) per cent
caused buoyant stock market in London
in which American shares participated TO
a material extent. On balance. too, the
foreign arbitrage houses were fairly large
buyers of stocks in this market. The
weeks trade reports were encouraging,
and a number of gratifying statements OF
traffic returns. including the report of the
New York Central Company, were pub
lished. The market was chiefly the result
of a temporary outstripping of the buying
power by profit-realizing sales, together
with the hammering of the professional
element already noted. The local money
market was unruffied, and following the
lead of the London market, easier similar
conditions were reported in the continent
tai money centres.
Comparatively strong features of the
market were New York Central, c. C. G..
and ST. Louis Pennsylvania, and the
Southern Railway shares.
Apart from the granger shares. the
pressure was most pronounced in the Pa
cific stocks, Sugar Refining, and Manhattan
Railway. In the early dealings, under the
favorable influences cited, the general mar
ket showed pronounced strength, and thera
were numebr of sharp advances. which
were subsequently shaded and wholly lost.
The buying of stocks on the decline was
of character technically described as
good, and throughout the day there was
no impairment of speculative confidence.
The bond market was active and gen
orally firm, with Manhattan As. Texas
and Pacific second incomes, and Wisconsin
Central firsts the leading features. TIE
stock market closed dull, with a number
of stocks showing fractional recoveries
from the extreme point of depression.

GREAT NOVELTY PACING RACE.
Pointer, Pntcheu. and Gentry May
Start in It.

New York. Feb. New York's new
trotting track may be opened with a nov
city handicap race, in which the three
great pacing stations, Star Pointer,
1853 ii; John r. Gentry, 200 1-2 and Joe
Patchen. 2.0l IL. will be the starters.
John Splan said that such a contest would
be the biggest thing in harness racing that
could be arranged, and he suggested as
means of evening up the chances Of the
horses that Pointer pull a wagon, Gentry
q sulky and Patchen go under saddle.
The managers of the New York track are
trying 10 get up such race for Labor Day,
and there is reason TO believe they will
succeed. f. II. Hartman, the owner Of
Gentry, is willing TO start the handsome
son Of Ashland Wilkes. The owner of
Patchen said TO Secretary Tonian few
days ago:
Call on me when you get your plans
mapped out. and if Joe Patchen can do
anything to help on the success of the New
York meeting he viii do it
Ex-COngressman White, the owner OF
Star Pointer, has not been consulted in re-
gard TO the three-cornered affair, but the
Cleveland horseman was never known TO
let good race go by for lack of support.
With the great PAGERS handicapped as
Splan proposes, there is no telling which
one would start fayoTite.
