The stock Market.

New York, Aug. S.-There was
marked falling off in interest in railroad
stocks to-day compared with that pre-
! vailing last week. Interest shifted to
the Industrial specialties and number
of these were marked up in feverish
and irregular manner. The general list
was maintained with difficulty and
slight furry in call money in the last
hour carried prices, with the few eX-
ceptonal cases of strength, below last
nights level In the final hardening
movement on covering by shorts, some
of the specialties and a few obscure
railroads rose anew to the top level.
This made the closing Of the market in
tone, but the majority of standard
stocks showed net losses.
An influential factor in the hesitating
and doubtful tone of speculation was
the renewed anxiety over the money
market outlook caused by Stature days
bank statement. The buying for Lon
don account, which has served to sus-
tain some stocks recently was missed.
Suggestions are coming from abroad
that the prolonged political tension is
having it's effect in curtailing business
and Industrial operations There were
upward movements of Importance to-
day in the Tobacco stocks, Manhattan,
Metropolitan Street Railway, Sugar and
some of the iron and steel stocks, the
latter under the influence of a declara-
ton of the first dividend on the Re-
public Steel preferred Of ! ga per cent,

jumped 10 points over Saturdays price.
On the other hand there was weakness
in International Paper, Colorado Fuel,
Brooklyn Transit, Tennessee Coal and
a few other specialties. In the railway
list the only stocks to show any marked
demand were Southern Railway pre-
ferred and Kansas and Texas preferred.
The Chicago Great Western issues
showed wide changes, but were rather
feverish at the advance. There were
besides noteworthy gains in Mobile and
Ohio, Hooking Valley preferred, Omaha,
Northwestern. New York, Chicago and
ST. Louis second preferred, Evansville
and Terre Haute preferred, Wisconsin
Central preferred, Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Saut Ste Marie and Iowa
Central preferred. There were notable
gains in group of high priced stocks,
including Lackawanna, st. Paul pre-
ferred, Northwest preferred, Wells
Fargo and Pullman. New Haven and
Omaha preferred We're bid up without
sales, the latter 10 points Kansas and
Texas seconds are 3-S higher on the
day. Otherwise there was no notable
feature in the bond market. Total sales

EXPECTATION

Fleet wheels had whirred for us, deep
hedgerows treading,
Till where, down labyrinthine lanes
enfolden,
The gray, green-mantled church
stood, half withholden
From passing eyes by elins, full-fedged
for shedding
Midsummer shade noon shrunken, soft
ly spreading
Ger swarded path a dappled pave
ment, golden
And beryl-focked, to a door, whose
dusk arch olden
Let glimpse-in hesitant CLEANS, the
sills gloom dreading,
A knot of children, snowy-bibbed,
blue-skrted,
Hung round the gate, from devious
ways diverted;
Shawled crones slow halt and girls

Had found thereby. Grand weather
for whose wedding?
Methought: and straight daw from
ivied stealing
Swooped startled, as bell began to-
toll.

BASEBALL GAMES YESTERDAY
BLUES AGAIN DEFEAT WICH-

SoHondorf Once More in the Box

Game Loosely FieIded-Other Games.
One Of the quickest played contests of
the season was the New Haven-c FOR
witch game at Savin Rock yesterday af-
ternoon, the game being played in one
hour and twenty minutes. New Haven
won by the score of 2 to 1, but at times
Norwich came close to tying If not
overlapping the score. The Blues were
and Clement was let off with but four
safe hits marked against him. Vollen
dorf went into the box for the first time
in many weeks for New --aven and
held the visitors down to four hits. He
is by no means in the shape he was in
before he was hurt as his right hand
is still useless, but he may be able to
pick UP in time for the closing games.
The fielding on both sides was quite
loose and several errors were made,
although on the part of the home team
they were caused more by overconf-
dence than otherwise. New Haven
scored her first run in the first inning,
Lawlor making three Dagger and
coming home on OWENS wild throw.
The second and last run was made in
the third inning, OHara getting his
first on another wild throw by Owens
and scoring on an error by Rogers.
Norwich scored her only run in the
fourth when Tate, after getting first on
Parents error, scored on Chamberlain's
single. The score:

THE CHARACTER OF DREyF1Js

=,
After the revelations about Esterhazy
and du Patty de Clam the outside world
regarded Dreyfus merely as a type of
the innocent accused insignificant apart
from the notoriety of his arrest and
conviction. But now it is evident thai
he has been misjudged. Apart from his
explanations and protests in the dock
at Rennes. his bearing and intelligence
snow not only keen, capable officer,
out q man who uniteS noble DISPOSE
tlon to forgive with a stoicism utterly
alien to the mercurial passions of his
accusers. He Is a splendid lesson to the
prejudiceridden mob, whether socially
high or low, and the five years Of silent
suffering on DEVILS Island have crowned
him with the heroism of endurance.
Ills conduct is an example to the French
character in those points where its
weakness Is most manifest. Was it not
truly typical when, after his arrest, Il
pistol was left on his table to aid him in
the expected act of suicide? That is
the way great many Frenchmen meet
trouble, and why not Dreyfus? They
could hardly understand why he did
not make use of the weapon so kindly
lent him as part Of his outfit for the
last journey. But instead of that they
saw him led away and Gagged like a
lonely beast, with nothing to his credit
put an empty protest of innocence. We
do not know yet the full details of his
captivity, but his pain Of body, acute
as 1T must have been, was slight COM
pared to the writing Of his wounded
spirit. To endure all this for nearly
five years, and to emerge from it with
a Keen mind and a moral nature free
from bitterness, Is proof of character
peculiarly suited to the wholesome con-
temptation of Frenchmen, though 1t is
large enough and sterling to challenge
the admiration of all
If Dreyfus had weakly succumbed to
his misery, the loss to France would
have been. terrible The official sore
would have spread and deepened into
gangrene. The prisoner has uncovered
the whole mass of corruption, and his
sutferings have been better discipline
to bureaucracy and mob alike than an
other war could have been. For the
disaster of war could teach the French
little; it is an old story to them, and
without a moral. But the qualms Of
conscience, the evasons, the uneasy
protests of having been misled and the
evident desire to be reinstated in public
esteem-all this shows that among the
generals involved there is wholesome
penitence at work. They owe it to
Dreyfus. And there the sick, gray
haired prisoner stands, accusing no one
and helping his judges translate OBJ
scure passages in the dossier. -New
York Commercial Advertiser.

four Aldermen, one each from Wisely,

the Hanseatic League succeeded the

a political dependency of Sweden, the
Germans, by their energy and numbers,

GOTI.AND.

At time when small vessels and the
lack of the compass restricted seamen
to short voyages. the island of Gotland
was natural halting place for all ships
bound for this northern market,
whether to Stockholm, Abo on the Fin
nish coast, Novgorod, or Riga. For this
reason it early became a distributing
point for the northern trade, and re-
manned such even after the Wend cities
had organized the commerce of the Bal
tic. Its capital Wisely, became a great
emporium and the wealth of its citizens
fabulous. In addition to it's permanent
German burghers, it had a floating pop
ulation of German traders, representing
at least thirty cities from Cologne to
formed there a union or confederation
known as the Gotland Genossenschaft.
This is the oldest and most important
union of it's kind. Furthermore, it was
a powerful agent, by its retroactionary
influence upon the home towns, in
bringing them to form the union which
known as the Hanseatic League,
The law of the Gotland Genossen-
schaft was given to the new German
town of Riga and the factory of the

JUDGE NORW00O'S VIEWS
HIS STATE POLITICS HAVE UNDERGONE
CHANGE.
Didn't Vote Last t|econ; VIII Never Cast
Vote That viii Help Negroes
Control the Fast.
Judge Norwood is in the city.

Judge Norwood is in the city.
There has been a rumor that the
Legislature will move for his impeach-
ment. That may be the reason why he
is in Raleigh at this time, or there may
be some other reason.
/ called to see him last night. He
said that Judge Moore had begun a
suit for the office in Buncombe court.
He asked to be excused from discussing
the case or to talk of impeachment.
Then the subject of politics was
preached and the Judge gave his views
freely, saying:
Hereafter l propose to be a free
lance in politics so far as State matters
are concerned. / never intend to cast
. vote if / know it that will have any
tendency to place the Eastern part of
North Carolina in control of the negroes,
rs it has been for the last few years.
IT is very evident to me that such a
state of affairs ought not to exist, and
il is equally certain that the white men
of the East will never bear it again.
II am a Republican and believe in the
National Republican platform and my
national politics have undergone no
change. My State politics have under
gone a change since 1 held my courts in
the First district last spring, and / found
matters as bad if not worse last fall
in the Second district than they were in
the First. | only saw three white per-
sons in charge of postoffices in the Sec
ond judicial district. They were Tar
boro, Newbern and Warrenton. All the
other offices that | observed were filled
by negroes. / don't know how this mat
ter was in the country postoffices. There
were many negro justices tof the peace,
constables, sheriffs, etc, who came I'M
der my observation in the Second jul
dicial district last fall -
I'm my opinion, if the Republicans had
carried the State this year there would
have been at the next election very few
white republicans nominated. The ne
groes were coming to the front and
would have nominated from their own
race. / will say from member of Congress
down to constable. | think that if the
white race CT Eastern North Carolina
had not succeeded in putting an end to
this state of affairs by the ballot, that
they would have Immediately resorted
to force.
Il did not vote in the last election, as
/ was too far from home and | had de
termined not to vote the Republican
State ticket if l had been there, and so
wrote to the chairman of the Republican
county executive committee of Haywood,
and / refused his request for contribu-
ton to the campaign fund.
81 don't think the education require
ment proposed will be any
protection fifteen years from
to day, as the negroes will learn
to read rapidl and the fact is that it is
the educated negro that is pressing his
way in. and under present conditions the
only way to protect the East is to give
the Democrats party control of the State.
There are hundreds of Republicans
in the mountain country who, if they
had seen the East as | have, would feel
and act as | do in this matter"
