REFLECTIONS.-Th have been
many interesting attempts to find at
tractive and instructive features in
this narrative. 1t has been used to
show that Jesus was no gloomy asce-
tic, out of sympathy with men, retir-
ing from the ordinary and festive
scenes of every day life. 1t has been
invoked to prove that His social stand
ing and the social standing Of His fam
lily was not among the extremely poor,
as some have supposed. 1t has been
microscopically examined TO maintain
various fancies and vagaries, having no
value whatever, except to amuse their
inventors. 1t is chiefly valuable in in
dicating the manner of beginning the
gospel ministry. Jesus was not osten-
tatious but humble. He made no loud
professions or ambitious claims With
a selected few He entered quietly into
a small community and there accept
ed courtesy as any man might do. An
occasion having arisen, quite out of
the ordinary of ministerial function,
He gently used His power, at the time
hesitating on the score of propriety
But in so doing He became known.
That method won His disciples. The
truly great need no great event to
show their greatness. Jesus would
shine anywhere John |. ~. The light
always shines.

Have You Catarrh /?

II you have and are neglecting to
effect its cure, you are opening wide
the door to consumption and death.
No other disease is more certain to
result fatally than catsrrh.
One Of its chief dangers lies in the
fact that its existence is often unsus-
pected until il becomes chronic-that
lingering cold that you are waiting to
wear itself out is fastening catsrrh
upon you-one of the most loath-
some and dangerous diseases which
affiicts humanity.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April 6.-The advance in
money rates and the positive stand taken
against lending depostors funds on miscel-
laneous collateral based on value to be add
ed al some future date, had a depressing
influence prices this morning. Reaiiz-
ing sales were numerous on all sides, the
Industrial list attracting the bulk of the
business, and inclining the entire market
toward sympathetic weakness.
Money is offered at one rate of interest on
standard railway shares, and at another,
usually from to per cent higher, on in
dustrials. The daily Incorporation of indus
trial companies, whose object is to control
a cert tain branch of business, has reached
proportions which invites protective meas
ures On the part of the financial Institutions
which are looked to for the necessary
funds.
The first series of such enterprises was
based on merit to a considerable extent,
and success was practically instantaneous
With the meritorious concerns for a back
ground few bold financial free-lances
went from town to town duplicating the
transaction, but omitting the important
basic element of value on the new basis.
The movement having become epidemic the
good and bad are suffering the consequences
of condition wholly attributable to the
latter.
The declines today were consequently sub
stantial in proportions, but while weak and
conservative holders sold freely, the inside
buying in certain quarters was of a char
acter to indicate the presence of a eonsid-
cradle buying capacity.
Around delivery hour the entire market
was under pressure, and the decline eX-
tended from 2 to 8 per cent, the recently
active issues suffering most Federal Steel,
common, early gave evidence of coming out
In round amounts and later in the day both
common and preferred participated in the
downward movement. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Manhattan declined Z and :;
per cent, respectively, liberal selling being
conspicuous in the former throughout the
day.
The Granger list was relatively firm, de-
clines being recorded in sympathy with the
Violent changes in other parts of the mar
ket, but the buying on scale was mod
erately good. The low priced preferred rail-
way issues showed the effects of liuuida-
ton, l and per cent recessions being re-
corded in them during the afternoon. The
entire day was devoted to d reduction of
weakly margined holdings and the net re-
suit should give new life to the main sit
uation.
A days decline of such proportions as
that of today does not Immediately disap-
pear from the surface of the market and
sensitive condition of affairs may pre-
vail during the balance of the week. Mon
ey was offered as low as per cent during
the final hour, the offering being intended,
evidently, to show abundance of funds
for all legitimate uses.

MAKES ANOTHER PURCHASE.
Mr. Frederick &. Stevens Controls
Georgetown and TenleytOwn II. II.

1t is understood that MIR. Frederick C.
Stevens has completed the purchase of the
entire issue of the bonds of the Georgetown
and Tenleytown Railroad Company
amounting to $4,000. The price paid for
the bulk of the issue was $106 Mr. Ste
vens and his associates also own the entire
issue of stock of the company, amounting
to 1000 shares, the par value of which Is
$50. While controlling interest in this
road has been held for some time by the in
terests represented by Mr.. Stevens, yet it
has only been recently that practically the
entire amount of the stock has been se-
cured.
1t is the purpose of the new owners, who
are, of course, the same who have ac-
quired controlling interest in other street
railroad properties in this city, to continue
the road to Rockville. 1t is expected the
work of building this extension will be be-
gun some time during the coming summer,
but 1t is not known exactly when, as the
county authorities are engaged in macad-
amiztng the road. and the railroad people
will not be allowed to go upon the turn
pike for the purpose of laying the tracks
until that work Is completed.
