The great New York dailies have
such hard work to fill their advertis-
ing columns that they often take
questionable advertisements and run
their chances for their pay. BY the
failure OF the agent who handled
advertisements for paste diamonds
the Herald loses $4,000, the Journal
$4,000 and the World $4,000.

Presently my attention was drawn by

those extremities were rendered
more conspicuous in those days OF

an amount OF pain in the feet proper

THE STOCK MIRKE1
Drifts Rather Aimlessly Over Renewed
 Uneasinrs rss About Money.

New York Nov. 22.-The stock mar ket drifted rather aimlessly to-day un- der the influence of renewed uneasi- ness over the money situation. A mod crate demand for London account lifted prices at the opening and during the course of the day there were isolated movement in a number of individual stocks, but the influence of these dem- onstrations of strength in spots on the general market was small and the tone lethargic and sluggish throughout. Dealings were narrow and wholly pro- fesional.
 The money rate rose to 8 per cent. during the day and there was renewal of the disposition to discriminate sharply against the industrial stocks at collateral. The nominal rate of inter- est in such cases was eked out by the requirement. of extra commission and the margin between the amounts loan ed and the ruling market valuation of the stocks was increased. The offerings of government bonds for redemption at the sub-treasury fell to insignificant l proportions. New York exchange was notably weak at number of important domestic centers, falling to 20c discount at Chicago against par yesterday and declining sharply at St. Louis and Gin cinnati. Persons interested in the money outlook are keeping an eye on the foreign markets. The hadening dis counts in London to-day may be sig nificant of future pressure from that source. though the situation in New York was sufficiently pressing to cause a decline in sterling rates in spite of the London movement The Paris dis count rate held firm at 1-2 per cent above the Bank of Frances official rate, giving ground for expectation of an ad- vance tomorrow in the banks rate. New York banks have gained $5,659,00O on sub treasury operations since last Thursday and to-day's clearing house statement showed a debit balance against the sub-treasury of over $2,000,- 000 These are reflections of the gov ernment bonds redemptions and give promise of good showing in Satur- day's bank statement. The proceeds of the bond redemption have not afforded any great relief to the speculative world and the stock market Is disposed to await further developments. Small net gains, however, were the rule on to-day's transactions and few stocks show notable advances. General Elec- tric gained 1-2 and Cleveland, c. c. and St. Louis 3 7-S. Baltimore and Ohio rose over point and the coalers showed some strength. The Chicago. Indianapolis and Louisville stocks, the Chicago Terminal stocks, the Rio Grande Western stocks Buffalo Roch- ester and Pittsburg and one or two others show gains of from 1 to 1-2. Minneapolis and St. Louis is IA lower and losses of point are shown by a number of other inconspicuous' stocks. | There was realizing in some of the | bonds of the speculative grade but very good absorption at some other points. Total sales, par value, $2,375,000.
 United States twos advanced 1-2 and the threes and old and new fours Is in the bid price.

WOMEN EXECUTIONERS.

What do you think of a woman who
voluntarily offered herself to the govern
ment as the public executioner?
A few years ago he official public exc"
cutioner at Brussels died, and a substi-
tutc was temporarily appointed. On one
occasion this person was Ill and unable
to attend. But at the appointed hour a
stout, middle-aged woman presented her
self at the central police station and
quietly remarked to the assembled func-
tionaries:
I've come for the execution. My hus-
band is not very we'll this morning, and
has asked me to take hrs place. Please
let me get to business"
, The general stupefaction may be more
easily imagined than described, which,
being noticed by the would-be lady exc
cutioner, she added in a reassuring
tone: 'Oh, this is not by any means the
first time
II afterward TRANSFERRED that the wo-
man, whose name was Marie ReS2, HAD
cfIiciated on several occasions in lieu
Of her husband. Dressed up in his
clothes and her face masked. she had
| been the public exocutionen at several
executions, and never had the proceed
inss been interrupted by a single hitch.
1t is needless to say that the police au-
thorities were unable to avail them
selves of her offer on this occasion.
It will be a surprise to most people to
learn that there has actually been a wo-
man eXecWtioner in this country. In old
Ell times few cared to undertake the Of
fee of eXGcutiOner, and occasionally
death sentences were respited on condi-
ton that The criminal should perform this
office. A case OF his sort occurred ia pre-
revolutionary days, when 4 woman was
sentenced to death for a murder she had
committed in Virginia. The death SEN
tence was respited on her Offering TO be-

WILL HONOR THE
BRITISH QUEEN

New York, March 22.-Queen Victoria
is likely to receive an unprecedented
honor by the city of New York. On May
"a, the queens birthday, the nation, state
and city flags will be flung to the breeze
from all public buildings in Greater New
York in honor of the queen. The first
resolution TO pay this tribute was offered
at the meeting of the municipal council
and it was passed by a unanimous vote.
The resolution declared that an affinity
existed between the A~nglo-SaXon races;
that to the United States substantial aid
and moral support were given during the
