AVERaGE WOMaN'S STRENGTH.

TT is an admitted fact that woman is
| the weaker vessel-always was and al
1 ways will be. This, no doubt, is be-
1 cause man, on the whole, prefers in
- woman grace and tenderness, while
she prefers in man strength and &C
tivity. There is, of course, no good rea-
son why woman should equal man in
physical or mental strength. Yet 1t is
CT more than ordinary interest to know
the why and the wherefore of and the
comparative difference in the strength of
the two sexes.
A scientist who set himself this task
has prepared some remarkable COMPARE
sons. The result of this study is Of great
value by. reason of the tests having been
made with a newly improved dynamome-
ter, the working of which is very &C
curate.
The figures given in the table below in
dictate the strength of each individual
group of muscles for the average man and
woman. They are based upon the study
of two hundred healthy young men be-
tween the ages of IS and 30, and upon an
equal number of healthy women of the
same ages.

INDUSTRIAL IA1UIRY.
Committee Hears Three Witnesses
on Railroad Rate Charges.

Committee Hears Three Witnesses
on Railroad Rate Charges.
CHICAGO, Aug 11-Edward S. Rich
ards, a retired grain dealer and shipper,
resumed his testimony before the sub
committee of the Federal Industrial COM
mission here today He reiterated his
charges that bills of lading issued by
railroad companies for shipment of grain
are illegal and supported his charges by
referring to a blank bill of lading secured
from the freight office of trunk line in
this city and by quoting the statutes of
Illinois relating to the duties of pubic
carriers and the weighing and inspection
of grain. This testimony was admitted
to the records and will be included in the
report of the Industrial commission to
congress. Mr.. Richards made the specific
charge that the railroads made out their
bills of lading in such an ambiguous
manner that they are not held RESPONSE
BILE for losses in the shipment of grain
after it leaves the hands of the con-
signor. This, Mr.. Richards stated, was
in direct violation of the law.
Cen John McNulta, who testified be-
fore the subcommittee in Washington on
the workings of the whisky trust, ap-
peared before the subcommittee today
and discussed the rate situation and the
attitude of the Canadian Pacific railroad
toward the interstate commerce regula-
lions of this country. He sharply criti-
cised the methods of the Canadian road
and said that the interstate commerce
commission should receive authority to
compel all competing lines Of the country
to adhere to fixed rates, which should
also apply to water traffic.
Senator Kyle stated that the inquiry
into that phase of the rate situation
would be taken up when the subcommit-
tee returns from the North, and Gen.
McNulta was requested to appear before
the committee at that time and present
testimony
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-12

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE stock mar
ket made some show of activity and
, strength in the early dealings today, but
the movement had about exhausted itself
before the end of the first hour. The
heavy tone in many railroad stocks af-
j fected the industrial specialties which
had started to go up, and realizing set in
which helped the bears. The market re-
fused to go up again and drifted quite
aimlessly for the rest of the day, the
volume of business falling to the lowest
ebb
The stocks which made the early activ-
! tty were the Iron and Steel and Leather
stocks Some of the former group had
quite handsome net gains remaining at
the close of the day, Federal Steel and
Colorado Fuel being the only ones in the
group to show net losses. Tennessee
Coal was still foremost in the movement
and touched S31A, but failed to make it's
net gain a point.
There was a tremendous scramble to
take on United States Leather and the
price touched 1O5s. Practically the whole
of its gain was wiped out in a realizing
movement and the preferred stock closed
slow last night. There was a midday
demand for Mexican Central and MeXi-
can National, which was unexplained in
the days news. Detroit Gas and Union
Bag and Paper, both common and pre-
ferred, showed sharp gains.
There were few strong spots in the
railroad list, notably Chicago Great
! Western debentures, which are up IA,
| and Missouri, Kansas & Texas, both
common and preferred. Oregon Naviga-
ton lost "a of it's recent rise. A few
railroad stocks showed fractional gains,
but the genral tone was heavy. The
condition of spring wheat shown by the
government report had some influence.
! Much was made Of a report that rate
from New York to Kansas City had been
made on freight by way of the Grand
Trunk and Chicago, Burlington & Quin-
! cy, to meet the rate by way of the gulf
I and Southwestern lines. Some anxiety
was felt lest this might presage war
| Of rates calculated to have a very unfa-
! Vorable effect on earnings.
There grew the fear during the day that
! t0moTroWs bank statement might not
! prove the encouraging exhibit which has
! been predicted for it during the week.
/ 1t is believed that some money has come
/ to New York from Out-of-toWn banks to
! be placed in loans, but in other cases,
undoubtedly, outside banks have drawn
! on their deposits in New York banks to
place these loans. 1t is expected that
! New York banks will be shown to have
reduced their loans. Call loans were
about steady today and the decline to
/ 21A per cent in the late dealings was of
little significance, as it occurred af er
most of the demand had been satis-
| fed.
Movements in bonds were sluggish and
! irregular and business was not large. To-
| tai sales, par value, $l,093,0O0. United
+ States new fours advanced a in the bid
price.
