There is certain amount of antagonism
between the banks and the trust compan-
les In New York. The trust companies
have taken the securities Of the new indus
trial corporations much more freely than
the banks. 1t is hinted by some careful
market people that the banks have not
been averse TO seeing the prices of the in
dustrial securities decline heavily, i'm
mensely. that in fact they have considered
such decline to be a necessity to the f.
nancial situation generally. 1t is very
probable that these declines will be bene-
tcial. But the trust companies neverthe-
less are likely to have a different opinion

The action Of Secretary Gage and that of
the New York banks are considered the
certain forerunners of ultimately better
things. Money is coming into New York
from the West In larger volume than at
any time heretofore for months past 1t is
probable that all the runors now afioat re-
garding firms in financial difficulties will
prove to be groundless The almost univer-
sal advice of careful psople is to buy secu-
rifles at present prices for fine profits in
the near future. Further tips to. and per-
haps beyond, the low prices of yesterday
may occur in some securities, but it is be-
lieved that little more is TO be feared in
this direction. Prices almost everywhere
represent heavy concessions from actual
values. considered with reference to either
earnings or dividends. Ii is the time of
bargains for those who have money TO
make purchases.
The evening times., 1899-12-19

After yesterday has passed. it is easy TO
see how the day might have had different
history. There were rumors in New York
on Sunday, and they were given currency
elsewhere through financial dispatches.
that the bankers were in conference, and
would take some action yesterday. AS a
matter OF fact, they did act, but it was not
until the day had wrought its destruction
to many spectators, big and little, and
sent prices to the lowest level of the year.
1t is now wondered why nothing was done
in the morning, and it is assumed, perhaps
with excellent reason, that if the banks
had acted in concert at 10 o'clock instead
of at 2:S0, they could have averted the
panic. The same arguments are made with
regard to the action of Secretary Gage.
If it was proper for him to act at any
time his plan would have prevented i'm
mense losses Of stock values at the OPEN
ing OF the day. that occurred because he
did not act until after the close OF the
market

courage and made him so nervous that
the rustling of Il leaf. or even his OWL
shadow. frightened him.
Nobody" writes Col. Inman in his
book. THE Old Santa Fe Trail" "ever
saw one of these miserable and help
lcssly forlorn creatures dying n natu-
raj death. or ever heard Of such an oc-
cCrrencc. The cowar'lly coyote and the
gray wolf had already marked him for
their own; and they rarely missed their
calculations" Thc~author describes a
scene he witnessed in 1866 while riding
on the top of a divide with n party Of
friends:
We saw standing below in the valley
an old buffalo DULL. the very picture Of
despair. Surrounding him were seven
gray wolves. The poor beast had deter
mined TO die game. His great shaggy
head. filed with burs. was lowered to
the ground; his tongue. black and
parched. lolled out of his mouth. At
intervals he uttered feeble roar. to
which the wolves. sitting on their
launches in a semicircle in front of the
beast. responded with howl.
The bull made dart al the nearest
wolf and tumblcd him. bowling with
pain. over the prairie. The other wolves
started for his hind legs TO hamstriry
him. The buffalo turned to rercI the
attack; the wolves turned as quickly.
ard again fastened their jaws on his
heels. His hind quarters streamcd with
blood; he showed signs of weakness.
but he did not dare TO lie down; that
would have been fatal. although he had
killed three OF the wolves. Then one
OF the hunters mercifully shot him. and
the wolves ate his thin, tough carcass.

FOR THE BABIES.
BY Christine Terhune HerriclS.
f,-av4;,,,.s s,,,....

N'-OIillUieu Ifgtll idSl week.
There prevails an impression, ground
ed upon ignorance. that milk alone will
not sufficiently flourish a young child,
but must be supplemented by something
else, The student OF food values appre-
ciates the fact that milk is what is
Known as a perfect food That is to
say, !, contains all the elements neces-
sery to support life. Alone 1t would be
nutriment enough TO provide for well
baby's health and growth until 1t had
passed its first year
Such is the delicacy Of little baby's
stomach, however, that II can rarely
bear undiluted cows milk. It must be
mixed with water, or perhaps have
cream added to 1t or pepsin or lime
water, or be prepared in some other CON-
bination advised by a physician. In
many cases the mothers most valuable
aid, next to milk, will be found in one
of the infants foods to which reference
has already been made. The manufact-
urers of these declare that the ingredi-
ents of their wares have been submitted
to certain processes which have antici7
pated the work of digestion, so that the
food is In a condition to be managed by
the child's immature gas tric powers.
When the mother finds one of these
foods that is satisfactory, let her hold
fast to 1t and not be tempted blythe re-
hearsal of the experiences of other
mothers to try a new article Nor must
she be discouraged If a food does not
suit baby absolutely on the first two
or three trials. Frequently 1t may not
seem wholly satisfactory until the child S
stomach becomes little accustomed
to the new diet. After few days or a
week food will often prove entirely
suitable which at the first seemed as it
it would not answer at all.

springer Case concluded.

After the attorneys in the damage
suit of John A. Springer against the
receivers of the B. 4 o. Railroad Co,
had finished their argument in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
week, the jury, acting under in
slructions from, Judge Bradford, who
said the court considered that no case
had been made to go before a jury. re-
turned a verdict for the defendant
without leaying the box. Mr.. Higgins,
of counsel for the plaintiff, noted an
exception. Prior to the close of the
case Mr.. Bird, Of counsel for the rail
road company, pointed out that the
only living witness had admitted that
the people in the wagon did not look
for a train in the direction from which
it was coming, and held that this was
contributory negligence. The Harris
Il. 4 o. suit has been continued until
next term.
