Somewhat to the surprise of the general

Somewhat TO the surprise of the general
speculative public, the stock market yes
terday exhibited more strength and activity
than on any previous day for week or
more. Prices opened from half point to
two points up in the active stocks, and ali
over the list there was apparent disposi-
tion TO advance entirely different from the
excessive weakness of the earlier part
of the week. The first business of the day
reflected London buying of American secur-
tiles and high prices for Americans in Lon
don. Later good commission buying on this
side and heavy covering by the shorts
helped the movement along. The London
buying and its counterpart in New York
were generally ascribed TO a better feeling
over the South African situation which
dispatches stated 10 be much less war
like. Money was still tight during the
morning hours, apparently because OF ma
nipulation simply, as usual, but il had no
effect on the upward trend of prices. Ger
tain conditions were disclosed by the days

hammer the market, but it seems 10 have
exhausted the efficacy of this 'fbear' argu-
ment- AS soon as the Transvaal situation
money rates that could be conjured up did
not prevent good buying, and the shorts,
seeing this, commenced to cover somewhat
heavily. The outlook is better but the
street generally is inclined to consider the
market still largely a professional one.
Prices may advance again today, it is
thought, but II seems likely that before any
large gain has been made more short CELL
ing will cause another downward turn.
Nothing important in the way OF bull
market is expected generally until the
money situation is assuTedly easy again.

vaal business has developed. Meanwhile.
careful buying on good margins at the
present low level of prices seems certain to
result in good profits In the near future
The call money rate fiuctuated yesterday
between per cent and 20 per cent, closing
at the lowest rate, with no apparent de-
mand for accommodation. In nearly the en-
tire list there were net gains for the day,
and in some cases the advances were
marked and important.

YALE" MURPHY TALKS ABOUT IT

DR.. William H. Murphy, who is well
known in this city, is coach Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania ball team. He
belongs in Natick, ana is a brother of
M. ]. Murphy, trainer at the university.
Dr. Murphy is now practicing in Phila-
delphia. Every follower of the game of
base ball remembers him under the
name of yale" Murphy, that being the
nickname applied to him when he
played with the New York National
League team in 1894 and 1895.
Murphy played on the Yale team
while he attended that university, and
played on the medical school team af-
terward. He played shortstop in a
game with Holy Cross at the oval in
1898, Penny O'Neil playing first. When
DR.. Murphy was in the game he was
famous for his base running, the New
York papers continually referring to
his sliding by saying he went over the
ground as If he had wheels in his chest.
The Spy man had a long talk with
Dr. Murphy last evening on base ball
and other athletic sports. When asked
about Pennsy's feeling because the uni
versity is not included in the challenge
from oxford and Cambridge, he said
the athletic authorities of the institu-
ton feel sighted because, II q repre-
sentative American team of college
athletes is to be made up, PennsylVa-
MIA should be included He says how
ever, Pennsylvania recognizes that Ok
ford and Cambridge can issue a chal-
lenge to Yale and Harvard If they so
desire, and Pennsylvania does not que3-
ton that right.
The only point Pennsylvania op1ects
to is that the college which can fur-
nish the best athletes should not be
included. DR.. Murphy thinks Pennsyl-
vania alone can furnish team that
can defeat Harvard and Yale combined
or oxford and Cambridge combined.
He is a great admirer Of the ability
of Kraenzlein, Pennsy's star hurdler and
holder of the worlds record at the
broad lump. DIR. Murphy told The Spy
man that Kraenzlein will win the all
round championship this year handtly
Speaking of his ability in athletic work
DR.. Murphy says he can do the cen
fury in close to 10, the 220 in % seconds
the quarter better than 80, the half IN
2.O2 the mile in 4:40, holds the records
at the hurdles and broad jump, can dc
over six feet in the high jump, anc
about nine feet in the pole vault. He
can put the shot about 81 feet, anc
throw the hammer about 80 feet
Kraenzlein weighs about ITO pounds
He is of German descent, and a native
of Milwaukee.

KIDNEY TROUBLE.
The Most Prevalent, Dangerous and
Deceptive Disease.



Pains and aches come from excess of
uric acid in the blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats and makes
one feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart is over-working to
pump the thick, kidney-poisoned blood
through the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in
the back indicates kidney trouble of no
small Importance
The passing of scanty or profuse guam
titles of urine is a warning of kidney
trouble. If you want to feel well you
can make no mistake by first doctoring
your kidneys.
The famous new discovery, DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, is the true specific
for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t has cured thousands of apparently
hopeless cases after all efforts have
failed.
Sold on its merits by all druggists in
fifty-cent and one dollar sizes. A sample
