The outlook, from the standpoint of the
investor or trader, who is not trying to
scalp fractions out of the market, is de-
sidedly bullish. The tumble In prices that
seems to have been necessary to shake out
the weak people (for weak people most
always are sacrificed as long as the stock
market exists has come The bears find
that it is almost il not quite impossible
to depress the level any further. They
are becoming nervous over the signs OF
returning easy money rates. When they
begin to cover in earnest it can hardly be
doubted that a fine rally will occur
which many conservative people believe
will be turned into the bull campaign of
the autumn and winter. The most care

The trading was almost featureless.
Brooklyn began the day with a momentary
weakness which convinced many that it
was beginning to tremble, but before the
end Of the first quarter hour it was ad
vancing again. The close was around IS,
much strength being shown. Brooklyn
may perhaps be considered typical OF the
larger part of the market at the moment.
The bears continue to talk of break that
Is to come in it. but the fact is very clear
that its break has already occurred. The
old holders have been shaken out as much
as they ever will be and new crowd has
bought the stock at a decline, of from 80
to so points. This crowd is the strong one,
and there can be very little doubt as to its
intention, or as to its ability to carry out
its intention. .,s. ,1t

COLUMBUS, o., December 30.-The
Ohio Legislature will convene Monday
and organize. The Republicans have
a majority in both branches.
In the Senate there are 10 Repub-
licans, II Democrats and n Inde-
pendent Republican. In the House
there are 62 Republicans, AZ Democrats
and three Independent Republicans.
The Republican and Democratic eau
cuses were held this afternoon and
evening. Those Of the Democrats are
a mere formality.
The Republicans of the Senate
named Oscar Sheppard. of Preble coun-
ty, for president pro TEN; w. B. Uhl, of
Cuyahoga county, for clerk, and l.. S.

The Republicans of the House

R. F. McSlroy, OF Mt. Vernon, for
clerk, and Andrew Jackson, of Greene,
for sergeant at arms.
Senator Nippert offered a resolution
to the effect that all Senators except
those elected on the Republican ticket
be excluded from the deliberations of
the Senators. Mr.. Nippert said it was
his duty to oppose the presence of Gen.

and only Republicans were competent
to take part in it.
This brought Senator Brown to his

porting his body OF clutches and look

speak in his defense. His voice showed
deep emotion, but he managed 10

Art In Wearing JeweIry

This IS very little studied. Long, slender
fingers can wear many rings, and a well
formed white throat is improved by almost
any of the beautiful necklaces now in
vogue. The wearing of jewels was origin
ally intended to call attention to certain
personal beauties-not to hid defects. A
sallow face is not improved by diamond
earrings. Nothing makes the skin look
whittier than pale pink coral, and there are
many novelties in this. Some OF the neck
laces are made of squares Of corals separ-
ated by diamonds, and some oblong pieces
are Joined together to form a sort of fiat,
wide ribbon. crossing In front and ending
in a gold fringe. Corals set with dia-
monds are strung to a fine gold chain
Some wonderful limitations of pearls in
single rows are worn in the daytime, and
a collar of pearls at night.

A Woman Charged With Crime BE-
comes Insane Before the Time of
Her Trial.
AT Belmont, Ohio, a town about
twenty miles west of Bellaire, the sec
ond chapter of a sensational and sad
career came to an unexpected end and
will most probably place one Of the
parties who was arrested for criminal
abortion and bound over to the court
OF Common Pleas on $500 bond behind
the bars of the insane asylum.
On November 7th an alleged abortion
was performed on Miss Claudine Smith,
of this town, from which she died, and
at the %coroner's inquest evidence was
found sufficient to bind over Mr.. How
ard Groves and Mrs. Olive Wilhelm,
and from this evidence the two parties
being held for $500 bond. Their trial is
to come up in the January term Of
court, but yesterday Mrs. Wilhelm was
arrested and taken before Judge Smith,
of the Probate Court, and pronounced
q raving maniac, and was placed in the
jail and will soon be taken to the asy-
lum.
This places the blame on Groves. A
strong effort is being made to convict
the guilty one, and the fact of Mrs.
Wilhelm going insane just before her
trial adds only to suspicion. The people
of the little town are much worked up
and a vigorous prosecution of the case
will be made.

Joshua j. Axtell, of Royal Oak, the pugi-
listic parson, who thumped a saloon keep
er who had insulted him, Will appear in The
public prize ring for the benefit of charity
January 9th. His pugilistic propensities
practically promoted him to a position of
prominence, and the local promoters of

promised to dc so. under the condition
that he should meet one of his own flock,

the invitation is unique. He says:

to accept. Having been a teacher and a
promoter of athletics, and believing and
teaching a doctrine which furnishes bread

Authorities.

According to reports thieves are still
at work in the town of McMechen. an
unsuccessful attempt having been made
by an unknown man to secure money
at the residence of W. B. McMechen,
the proprietor Of a department store.
Friday evening about $50 o'clock,
Miss Nora Ryan, who Is employed at
the McMechen residence, heard a knock
at the door and Immediately respond
ed. On opening the door she was con-
fronted by a man, whom she describes
as being six feet tall, and STABILITY
clothed. The man told Miss Ryan that
Mr.. McMeehen desired some change
and had sent him over to get it. As
Mr.. McMechen is not in the habit Of
sending to his home money, Miss Ryan
doubted the mans word and told him
that she could not comply with his re-
quest. However, the man insisted that
Mr.. McMechen had sent him on an err
rand for change and the girl, feeling
more confident that an attempt was
being made TO deceive her, closed and
locked the door. Miss Ryan, who was
alone in the house at the time, and be-
ing Of a courageous nature, repaired to
an apartment on the second floor, where
she secured a revolver. She at once re-
turned to the first floor, and on opening
the door and finding that the man was
still waiting, displayed the revolver,
and threatened to shoot if he refused TO
ileave. Evidently realizing that he was
n the wrong place fer a haul, the
stranger was not inclined to argue the
point and ran away as quickly as he
could.
The man is described by Miss Ryan
as being six feet tall, wearing a shabby
suit Of clothes. The authorities were
notified of the attempted theft in due
time and are investigating it along
with the other cases. to which their
attention has been called recently.

and during the engagement an officer took observations of the enemys
position and movements and sgnaled the same to his forces below. Both
escaped uninjured. The success with which the balloon detachment of the
