PRICES DOWN AT OPENING

New York, July 26-Headway in either exchange today. Strong bull or bear leadership was lacking, orders from the speculative public were scarce, influences at work were too conflicting to afford a basis of confident trading by longs or shorts and the foreign conditions were such as to caution extreme care in the making of further commitments.
 The market started quiet, with prices down ? to points, and soon sank to a point or so further under southern and local selling pressure, and by the close of the first hour the decline had been sup planted by a net rise of to points on a furry of profit-ta taking and demand for the January option by the foreeign contingent By midday, however, the market was very dull and back to the close of yester- day.
 In the afternoon values changed scarcely a hairs breadth, while the customary scramble to execute eleventh-hour orders failed to materially affect prices at the close The cables from Liverpool were disappointing and all news from the cot ton country was generally to the bear side.

DAVID 5 MAUI CAMPAIGN


When Prince David finished speaking
he invited any Independents present to
speak. William White, of Lahaina ac-
cepted the invitation and began haran-
guing the audience. 1t vas then that
there was apparently a shifting of 10y
atty from the Democrats 10 the Gnde-
pendents.
Shortly after II o'clock at night the
Waialeale sailed for Hama, arriving
there shortly before 10 o'clock next
morning. Exceedingly bad weather
was encountered all the way. At Hama
a meeting was held in the church and
was attended by about 100 voters and as
many women and children. Leaving
Hama the Waialeale struck the leeward
side of Maui and had good weather to
Lahaina, which was reached about $50
Saturday night E. b. McClanahan, S.
X. Kaloa and others, who had arrived
during the day from Hilo had already
begun a meeting from a platform at
the gate to the landing. Fifty yards
away at the market the Independents
were having a meeting and seemed to
have much the largest crowd.
The Quintette club settled the ques-
ton of the crowd for the Democrats.
Soon after the first piece had been
played the Unterrifed had an immense
audience while William White was
talking to less than dozen people The
of this campaign, perhaps. 1t was not
until near II o'clock that Prince David
finished his speech and about 200 people
adjourned to John Richardson's for a
big luau. This affair was big success.
AT Lahaina w. Fl. Cornwell f. H.
Hayselden, d. p. Eldredge and other
Maui candidates who came on the boat
from Kahului left the steamer.
The Waialeale left Lahaina at 2:30
Sunday morning for Kalaupapa, Molo-
kali arriving there 10 O'Clock to find
some 500 people waiting at the boat
landing to hear the music and the spell
binders. A committee from the churches
appeared at this juncture, however, and
requested the Democrats to postpone
their meeting until u o'clock as it
would interfere with Sunday schools.
This was complied with. At noon the
crowd had been swelled by the addition
of people from Kalawao, and the Ka-
laupapa band was present. Speech
making and music lasted until o'clock
shortly after which the Waialeale sail
ed for Honolulu.
At Honolulu last night the Waialeale
was met by an immense crowd on the
waterfront. Among the number there
was Colonel Sam Parker, who cordially
greeted his political rival. A luau was
shortly afterward begun at the resi-
dence of Prince David.

Massachusetts to make a favorable re-
port upon the attempt to establish a

An EnEIishman,. Manners.

Note, as has long been noted, that
the only manners the Englishman cares
about are what our country cousins
call table manners" He can lay enor-
nous, stress upon these without SEEM
ing to thaw out, for they really OK
press nothing, and meticulous nicely
in the forms Of eating and drinking
pleases his innate sense of refinement
and chimes in with his dislike for max
ing mess. Yet a certain Erenchman
may not have been far wrong, after all,
in saying that the English would sure
ly not frown so upon a mans hopping
up sauce with piece of bread If they
themselves had ever had any sauce
worth hopping up" 1t may be that
the Englishman's perfection of deport-
ment at meals comes in part from a
lack of temptation to do otherwise.
But the truth is none the less apparent
that the complicated conventions re-
garding what to do and what to avoid
ut table that obtain in England do
not in any way involve that outward
expressiveness which the Englishman
abhors. He can obey them without
prejudice to his impassivity. And this
cult of impassiveness, of self repres-
sion, is essentially Spartan-that of the
savage.-Scribner's.

A Gift Not Appreciated.

Two we'll known clubmen were stroll
ing along Chestnut street the other aft
ernoOn when a young fellow of rather
sporty attire stopped them and at
tempted to borrow So. 1--WE got to
have it tonight, and I'll give it back to
you tomorrow" he said.
The man addressed looked dubious,
and his friend, who was not acquaint-
ed with the would be borrower, moved
away, apparently to be out Of earshot
of the conversation.
Il don't think 1 can lend you the
money today" said the clubman.
"Come on, there's n good fellow"
coaxed the other. You'll get it back
tomorrow, sure"
mo; won't lend it to you" was the
reply, "but I'll tell you what will do.
II you're so devilish hard up. I'll give
you So"
"All right: give it to me-" was the
unblushing rejoinder.
you've got it already" said the
clubman. do you remember the five
you borrowed from me three months
ago? Well, don't bother about paying
that back. Nice day, isn't 1t? So
longr Then he rejOined his friend.
I'm the last two years that fellow has
borrowed $50 from me at various
times" he said.-Philadelphia Record.

srrindIfne /. bank.

A few years ago q well dressed man
presented himself at a certain national
bank and laid down 4 check for $1,000.
1t was signed by a well known whole
sale whisky house, and upon the back
were the words, Identification waiv-
ed" At the same time u well dressed
man entered the office of live stock
firm at the stOckyards and asked II he
could wait in the cfRte, as he expected
telephone message. He was told that
he could, and he took 4 seat near the
telephone.
Down in the bank the paying teller
was asking who the holder OF the
check knew. He said not many firms,
as he was a stock dealer, but if the tell
er would call up Mr.. Smith of Jones &
Smith, the we'll known brokers at the
stockyards, he would find out that he
was all right. The teller called for the
humber, and when the ring answered
he asked for Smith. The man on the
end said he was Smith. and he at once
gave Brown, the holder, the amount OF
the check.
When it was discovered that the
check was a forgery, there was an aw-
full kick, as Smith said Brown was as
good as gold. Smith declared that he
had talked to no one, and the result
was an argument between Smith and
the bank teller. No one knew about
the accOmplice answering the phone,
and the result was that Smith took his
account from the bank, and no one
ever knew who 1t was who answered
the telephone.-Cincinn Enquirer.

earthed at Atlantic City.
The skeleton of some gigantic crea-
ture was found by former Freebooter
Stewart Shinn of Atlantic City while
on cunning cruise several days ago,
says the Philadelphia Press. The re-
mains were imbedded three feet be-
meath the earth directly in the rear
of Atlantic City, near a locality called
Grassy point.
Mr.. Shinn was unable to dig up the
remains at once, and the other day, in
company with Captain Daniel Head
ley, he unearthed several sections OF
vertebrae and brought them to Atlantic
City. They are in a remarkable state
of preservation, Is inches in length,
40 inches in circumference and weigh
on an average SO pounds.
Many who have examined the bones
think they are portions of mastodon.
Mr.. Shinn expects to return and take
up the entire skeleton, which, he
judges, Is 100 feet in length.

The Origin of phen,x p.,L

The origin of the name of Phoenix
park has puzzled many scholars unac-
quafnted with the Irish language. The
manor was called In the Irish vernacu-
lar Fionn-uisge, pronounced finniske,
which signifies clear or fair water, and
which. articulated in the brief English
manner, exactly resembled the word
phoenix. The spring or we'll so called
from which the park derives its
name still exists close to the Dublin en-
trance, Of the viceregal lodge. 1t is
situated In n glen beside the lower
lake and is one OF the romantic objects
OF the park.-London News.

Adventure of a Wheelmhn.
A vest pocket pistol played an i'm
pOrtant partsiu II seriO- comic tragedy
IN Cicero Monday. The display of the
little weapon caused Michael Donovan,
u coal teamster from HawthOre, to
kneel and humbly apologize to Mrs.
VIII Darst, of Bushnell, Ills. With her
husband Mrs. Darst was wheeling
from her home in Bushnell to the lakes
in Wisconsin. They We're on the
Fifty-second avenue via 1uct, near
Twelfth stree, when they met Dono-

came faint and fell to one side and in
the path of the horses. This angered
the teamster. who upraided her for
her apparent clumsiness.
Made Him KneeI and Apology.
The husband resented the mans
conduct. Donovan is heavy. Darst
weighs only 12o pounds, but the dis
crepancy did not deter him from tell
ing the big teamster that he would
have to apologize for the insult to the
woman. Donovan sneered. Then Mr..
Darst drew his vest pocket revolver,
leveled it at DOnOvan's head and or
dered him to get upon his knees and
beg Mrs. Darst's pardon. Donovan
meekly did as commanded and then
hurriedly drove away.

"Stinginess is one thing and an OBJ

man who is worth a good deal of mon

old uncle 1 once had. He was 4 mil
lionaire and not stingy, but he watched
the pennies like a hawk, and lie was so
exact!ng that everybody said he was
the meanest man in the county, but he
wasn't, for he gave away $4,000 a
year in various charities that he would
not let the recipients mention.

it. Three months after that it occur

nice to his five nephews and nieces,

Plenty Rain Last Week.

Springfield. Ills, June 6.-The re-
port for the past week ended June 4
of the crop and climate department OF
the weather bureau Of Illinois says
that the week was one of showery con-
ditions throughout the state. In most
places rain has thoroughly soaked the
soil, while in a few localities it has
been so heavy as to cause damage by
washing orfe crops and Overlooking
bottom lands. Warm weather pre-
vailed throughout the week. The result
OF these conditions was rapid growth
of vegetation generally.
