A Severe Lesson.
fFrom the Detroit Free Press, !,


my wife has a way OF jogging my MEM

said Smith, with sorry smile, as he filed
away his last months gas bill.
About a month ago. as l was preparing
to come down town she handed me letter
with the injunction to be sure and mail it
at the first mail box that I came to.

pocket.
"'Now, don't forget she called after
me, as the letter is very important
"T won't I answered. and straight
away proceeded to forget all about it.
"The other day I chanced to be going
through my pockets when l was surprised
by coming across the letter that my wife
had given me to mail four weeks before.
Remembering that she had said that it was
verf important, l glanced at it to see to
whom it was addressed.
Il was thunderstruck to find that it was
addressed to me. Thinking that my wife
must have taken leave Of her senses,
tore it open and found a note that read
thus:
The gas is leaking in the basement

Brooklyn RAPID Transit IN Excep-
ti"n to fhe General Tone.
New York, June 27.-In the early deal
ings today the stock market retained the
firm tone that marked the trading yes
terday. Its strength was better distrib-
uted also. the npnlx conspicuously weak
feature Being Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The
decline in that instance was due to the
fears of labor strike on the system. but
nothing definite could be learned as to
the situation in this respect. New York
Central opened strong. but later reacted
on the absence Of confirmation of yester-
days rumors regarding the lease Of the
Boston and Albany.
In the industrial quarter Federal sSteel
opened over ono point above yesterdays
final figures ON the dismissal OF the In
junction against the dividend. and there
was a seemingly sympathetic rise In Steel
and Wire. Sugar Refining opened firm. hut
later reacted sharply, and Continental To-
bacco was weak. The London market for
American stocks was reported firm, and
foreign houses were again buyers of stocks
in this market.
There was no particular change in the
situation over night. but the hesitating
tone that marked the dealings after the
opening was mainly due to the fears OF
close money market prior to the disburse-
ments of July.

FARNswoRTH NOT GUILTY.
Charged With SwindlinK Fultz, HI
Proves nm Alibi.

Charged With swindlinx Fult., He
Proves nm Alfbi.
William Farnsworth. alias johnson, who
is charged with obtaining money from
James w. Fultz on March 19 last. by false
pretence, was put on trial today in crimi-
nal Court No /, before Justice Clabaugh.
The prisoner was represented by Attorney
Andrew Y. Bradley and his defence is an
alibi
In his statement to the jury his counsel
said that he intended to put the defendant
on the stand, and he would not expect him
to be found guilty of this particular Of
fence because he may have been guilty Of
others.
When the testimony for the Government
was concluded, Farnsworth took the wit
ness stand in his own defence. He con-
fessed to having been in Jail and the peni-
tentiary a number of times and being a
gambler. He said he is printer by trade.
but does not work much,
Farnsworth denied emphatically that he
was in Washington on the day on which 1t
is alleged that he ''buncoed' Fultz out of
his money. and said that, on the contrary,
he was in Newport News, Va.
The prisoner is charged with having in
duced Fultz, whom he met at the Balti-
more and Potomac Depot, to lend him $40
to pay the freight on some goods. shipped
to him, and which were being held at the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway Depot, for
the charges. Farnsworth was identified by
Fultz as the man to whom he gave the
money and also by William Humphrey, a
porter. at the Baltimore and Potomac De-
pot who stated that he saw Farnsworth
and Fultz talking together in the waiting
room.
Several witnesses brought from Newport
News testified that Farnsworth was in
that city at the time it is alleged he COM
mitted the crime of which he was charged,
in this city.
The jury. after being out very short
time returned a verdict of not guilty.

HEAT EMITTED BY RAIN.
How Tropical Warmth Is Conveyed
by the Gulf Stream.
(From the Scotsman.)

From the Scotsman)
The Gulf Stream makes our winters
milder through two causes. The more i'm
portant of these results from the trans
ference of large quantities of aqueous va
por from the tropics to our own shores
and its subsequent condensation into rain
or snow. An enormous amount of sun
heat enters the surface layers of the ocean
water within the tropics. This heat is Eot
lost when it enters the sea- but 1t disap-
pears for a time. being used up in evapor-
ating large quantities of water. In the
form Of aqueous vapor these are trans
ported by the wind thousands of miles be-
fore the whole quantity is chilled back
again into rain.
Some idea may be gained of the amount
of heat that is employed in the process
when il is mentioned that to convert a
pint of sea water into aqueous vapor re-
quires as much heat as would suffice to
melt more than five pounds weight of cast
iron. AS the winds carry this result OF
the suns heat northward, and the moist
ure is again condensed, it gives out as it
drifts along exactly as much heat as was
used in the first instance, in evaporating
the quantity that is being condensed.
Now the condensation of even SO small
quantity of water weighing only single
grain gives out enough heat to warm a
cubic foot of air seven and a half degrees
Fahrenheit. So. even in the absence of
sunshine, the air is warmed very consid-
erably by the conversion of aqueous va
por into rain. 1t has been computed that
the heat derived from the rainfall on the
west coast of Ireland is equivalent to
nearly half that derived directly from the
sun. .I -.a.s-.1. .,--l.
The Gulf Stream further warns our
coasts by bringing warm surface waters
and it used to be thought that
our winter climate is rendered even more
mild by this bodily transfer Of large guam
titles OF warm water near to us than it is
by the rain: but our views in this respect
have changed to some extent. Be that as
it may, the chief point with which we are
concerned is that vast quantities Of moist
ure are transported hither, and this moist
ure is condensed into either rain or snow,
to local circumstances prevail
ing at the time

TRAINING FOR THE RACES.
Local Amateurs Deeply Interested In
the Coming bicycle Meets.


the Coming Bicycle Meets.
Hard active training is the order Of the
hour with the local bicycle racers. Their
training quarters at the Park Track on
the Conduit Road is a busy place each
afternoon, there being at least ten riders
out daily, when the weather is suitable.
To secure honors in the race meet to be
held July 4. at the Park Track is the in
centiye which is urging the amateurs.
The coming meet will be the most i'm
portant yet held this season, and the Dis
trict championship race is being looked
forward 10 with some anxiety. The winner
OF the race will have title Of District cham
pion, although they may not have gained
the greatest number of points or the great
est amount of money.
Many of the local men will after the
meet on the Fourth either follow some Of
the Southern States circuits or the New
York State Circuit. W. H. Lewis, who
now leads the list of local riders, will, in
all probability, after the next meet here,
go to New York State and follow the cir
cult for a month or two. A number of
other riders are thinking Of making tour
Of South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennes-
see.
The colored cyclists are anticipating with
a great deal Of interest the meet to be held
at the Park Track Thursday, July 13. The
riders are showing remarkable speed and
the chances for carrying off the honors are
said to be very evenly divided. From
present indications, some very pretty races
will be ridden. The spirit of rivalry will
be especially keen for the District cham
pionship and the colored boys are bending
every energy to get in condition for it.
The Arlington Wheelmen are making
for holding their semi-annual
banquet, which will take place at the Rock
Spring Club house on the Conduit Road,

ported very satisfactory progress in the ar

Gold Find i'm a Brick oven.

Plainfeld, N. j., June 27-Several
months ago Silas Hanks, farmer living
near Little York. Hunterdon county, died
leaving his property to his son, Silas
Hanks. jr. The property was encumbered
with mortgage which 1t was doubtful
Hanks would be able to raise. A few
days ago the latter was tearing out an old
brick oven in the house, when he came
across rusty tin box, which he pried
open and, much to his astonishment, found
a large quantity of old silver and gold
col Is. which is said to be worth $2,SO0.
The house has stood for nearly a hundred
years. The value Of the coin will be suffi-
cient to clear the property of the mortgage.

OFFICIALS WITHOUT NEWS.
Hopes in Charleston That the Paw

Charleston. S. c., June 27.-Clyde on
cials here have no advices concerning the
reported burning Of the steamer Pawnee,
off Cape Henry. The Pawnee left Bruins
wick. Ca, for Boston, June %, and was
scheduled to leave Boston tomorrow. The
steamer did not carry a combustible cargo
and for this reason it is believed here that
there may be some mistake.
No regular passenger business was car
ried on by the ship, as it was used for
freight. The Pawnee did not touch at
Charleston on this last trip out.

A period Of hekitancy occupied the first

A period Of hesitancy occupied the first
hour of the stock market this morning.
The rapid advances in prices in all the
railroad securities during the past three
days is followed naturally by some realiz-
ing and the shorts again put out few
short lines at the opening. These infiu-
ences caused fractional declines in the
grangers and Vanderbilt issues at first. af-
ter which there was a lack Of business OF
any kind for half an hour. The immedi-
ate tendency at this time could not be dis
cerned and advices to buy and to sell
stocks were nearly equally divided. Many
careful authorities. however, expressed the
belief that the market would be good
buy on all recessions, and this on the
whole is perhaps the best view OF the sit
uation. The bullish items in the outlook
are apparent to everyone and 1t is little
doubted that prices will go much higher
before they have any material setback.

Some anxiety was professed this morn
ing over the money outlook. vu, apparently
there is no reason to fear serious conse-
Quences of any kind. The bears would take
advantage of such arguments II they could,
but the plethora Of money is too great.
The idea expressed by the doubtful is that
with the gathering of funds for the July
disbursements and with the export Of gold
to Europe a temporary tightness may be
induced, but the fact that America is actu-
ally lending money to Europe out of su-
perabundance OF idle funds seems to make
this supposition somewhat far-fetched.

problems that confront our country, and
more especially the south.
Never at any period in the worlds his
tory have women been so active in their
labors for humanity; never before nave
they had such abundant opportunities to
prove their ability to do effective and thor
ough work. and the means to that end is
organization.
WGmen's clubs are now conceded to be
permanent institutions-they promote self
culture, eliminate selhshness, encourage
broadmindness, give much pleasure and
have an immense influence for good upon
the communities in which they ara To-
Gated. These clubs are cooperating every
where with good results. Nearly every
state now has Federation of Women
clubs helping in the work of upbuilding
that state.
Organized cooperation is the best means
for progressing, and progression is the
highest law of life and dts most vital prln-
ciple Every one of you must either as
sist or retard the development of your sex,
and of the whole human race-are you not
glad that you are one of the helpers?
Through federation with other clubs in our
state, and by taxing yourselves so little,
mentally, physically and financially, as
scarcely to feel it, you are enabling our
federation to do, through committees of
earnest, noble hearted women, splendid
work for the state
You are helping our club extension COM
mittee to bring the benefcient influence OF
the literary, music, or art club into many
other lives; our committee on education to
secure more liberal appropriations and nu-
merols benefits for our schools; our free
scho arship committee to educate deserv-
ing poor girls our travelling libraries COM
mittee to send the best literature into
places where 1t is badly needed and much
delred our reciprocity committee to give
valuable aid to clubs less fortunate than
YOUR own Last year with your help one
of our committees secured a charter and
an appropriation for an Industrial farm
and refuge for wayward boys and neglect
ed children, and this year you are to have
"a committee to investigate the merits OF
free kindergartens. Are you not proud OF
this record? We are. How fortunate we
are to have been born into this great
"Age of Movement" this woman's era, for
there are great things to be done and we
are privileged to help.
Sometimes we all get discouraged, be-
cause the visible results seem so poor
When this happens we must pause and re-
fect-we are building not for the present
alone but for the future-for our own
ripper time. for our children and our child
ren's c,hildren-for humanity-and we must
be content to lay one stone at time.
We can justly be proud of that which we
have already accomplished. Shall we not
continue our labcrs? Sincerely and faith
fully yours,
