tests ON Decoration Dny-Final
Session Tomorrow.

The Maryland Division of the Sons of
annual encampment in this city. met this
morning at 80 O'Clock in the Maccabee
Temple, on Ninth Street. Matters of i'm
portance were considered, and action in a
number of instances taken.
A resolution was introduced and passed
upholding the policy of the Administration
in the Philippines and urging that every
means be taken by President Mckinley to
subdue the insurrection. The resolution
further deplored and denounced the publi-
cation and the distribution of tracts and
papers among the soldiers in the Philip
pines calculated to create dissatisfaction
and discomfort in the ranks Of the Ameri-
can Army in the Philippines. and holding
forth comfort TO the insurgents by misrep-
resenting the true sentiment in this coun
try. The resolution was adopted without
dissent.
A second resolution. declaring against the
practice Of holding bicycle meets, athletic
contests, and baseball games on Decora-
ton Day was adopted. The resolution ex-
pressed the sentiment that the day should
be held sacred, and that it ought not to be
desecrated by the holding Of athletic con-
tests or entertainments Of a similar char
acter.
The election of division officers was
scheduled to take place today. but it was
decided to hold it over until tomorrow.
The session adjourned at about 1890
O'Clock, and the afternoon was spent in
sightseeing.

THE GREAT STEEL COMBINE.

Quarter of a Billion Dollars I'm the
Carnegie Company.
Pittsburg. May 23.-H. C. Frick. chair
man of the Carnegie Steel Company. ar
rived home from New York yesterday. He
has almost closed the negotiations for the
purchase of Andrew Carnegie's business
holdings, and announces that the deal has
reached point where it is known definite
ly that the capital of the reorganized COM
pany will be 50,00O,000.
Representatives of New York banks, 1t
is said, will arrive here today to personally
examine the books and plant. They Will
come at Mr. Frick's request.
Mr.. Frick intends to show them the earn
ing powers of the concerns that are to be
merged. Since he desires that the CONSOLE
dation be effected on a solid basis free
from mushroom policy. he hopes that by
this practical illustration loans will be
made promptly in New York. so that spec
ulators and those of the public who are
looking for good things will have little, II
any, chance to get at the stock.
Prior to a meeting in New York last
Saturday no agreement had been reached
between the organizers as to the amount
of capitalization, and the statement made
yesterday by Mr.. Frick that $3.50, 600 900 is
the amount should allay the apprehension
with paper value stock. as the stock will
be held entirely by insiders. Mr.. Frick
said
The proposed new Carnegie Steel Com
pany will be distinctly home concern,
embracing only the Carnegie. the Frick.
and their allied interests and operating
under a Pennsylvania charter. The $780,
100000 capital is fixed upon an investment
basis. so that the present management will
take their holdings in the stock of the new
company
BY the completion of the deal. say those
interested Pittsburg will furnish the coun-
try with striking example of corporate
reorganization in contrast with trust meth
DDS of inflated capitalization, stock job
bing and ephemeral profits.
The new company will not be a trust
in any sense. 1t will not have any COM
mon and preferred stock or first and sec
end mortgage bonds. but only one class OF
stock. which Will probably be taken en-
tirely by the stockholders Of the present

A DINNER THAT Is PATENTED.
Unique Papers secured by the Co
lumbfan University Law Glass.

Unique Paper. secured by the CO.
lumbian University Law Glass.
One of the most novel patents issued in
the history of the United States Patent
Office was approved yesterday by Webster
Davis. Assistant Secretary OF the Interior.
This patent was applied for by the Patent
Law Glass Of the Columbian University, of
this city. The specifications read:
"a patent for the alleged new and useful
improvement in dinners, issued for the
term of one day. namely, the 26th day of
May, 1899; and this patent conveys to the
Patent Law Glass Of the Columbian Uni
versity the exclusive right to enjoy and
digest the said dinner throughout the
United States and Territories thereof"
This is the first time in the history of
the Patent Office that a patent has been
issued for a dinner. The object OF the
committee having charge OF the dinner is
to have the patent printed upon the menu
cards, which will be souvenirs Of the occa-
sion.
There was some hesitation on the part
of the authorities in approving the appli
cation for the patent upon the ground
that the department mayN hereafter be
oyerrun with applications for similar pat

STOCKS IN WAITING MOOD.
Open strong. But Recede. md De-
cline to Forge Ahead.

New York. May 22.-Slightly higher
prices were reached in the opening deal
ings in the stock market chiefly because of
the gains shown in the American division
CT the London market upon the presump-
ticn of business there this morning. The
opening strength was. however. only mo-
mentarily retained. Heavy pressure soon
appeared in Sugar Refining owing TO the
correction OF yesterdays false rumors and
the local tracticn shares also developed
weakness. The selling in the latter quar-
ter was wholly due to the apprehensions
in regard TO the effects OF the franchise
taxing measure now before the considera-
tion of the legislature in extra session.
The granger shares and the other stand
ard railway issues were only ordinarily
active and showed small declines resulting
frCm the early transactions.
The industrial quarter. aside from Sugar
Refining. was also comparatively dull. and
the dealings there developed about the
same average declines that appeared in the
railway lists.
London houses had few orders in this
market in the early dealings
The evening times., 1899-05-23

The market during the first two hours
this morning was choppy, undetermined
in course and for this reason somewhat
unsatisfactory, though there were no de-
clines in prices. The opening was at about
the level of the close last night and after
shading off from a small fraction to two
points or more a rally occurred under the
leadership of Sugar. Another slight de-
cline followed and then another rally.
Shortly before noon Sugar advanced to
161 5-s, the best price during this move
ment, and other stocks went up in proper
ton, showing considerable strength,
though no particular activity. The predic-
tions were varied, some brokers and trad
ers contending that the rally would be
followed by a decline to lower prices than
those Of the first hour, and some that the
buying was likely to put the level perma-
nently higher. The advice Of the people
who have been nearest right on the situa-
tion to the present time was to buy stocks
on all declines and sell for quick profits,
except in Sugar. Brooklyn. Manhattan, and
the Steels, which are believed to have good
advances ahead OF them. The news Of the
day was insignificant, except that wheat
opened high and shaded of in price during
the morning.

The inside buying of this stock and its

movements are slow. Higher prices are
predicted ultimately and the buying for
investment is good at all times.

BOWS OLD AND NEW
The Many Different styles Used In An

While universally used by the an

different nations. The Scythian bow

The Greek bow was not more than

that the first Greek bows were made
from the horns Of a species of goat,

be of much use, and, comparatively

roops were armed with them.
The Romans carried the bow to
Britain, where it at once obtained IA
