insiders made their purchases a month and

stocks at the opening yesterday. The pro-
fessional theory is that the insiders are al

occurred and are now willing e sell out

probably a mistake in large measure. Tne

Pennsylvania was again the feature of
the Railway list this morning. 1t sold Up
to 40 early in the day. This price many
will remember was that at which the
company sold an immense block of new
stock several months ago The fact that
the stock has again reached this price is
particularly interesting. 1t shows for one
thing that the people that bought at that
time were not mistaken in their faith in
the intrinsic merit of Pennsylvania. It is
pointed out in connection with this boom
in Pennsylvania that the stock has re-
ceived dividends regularly for nearly fifty
years and that since 1884 il has never
received less than 3 per cent. N addition
there has been numerous scrip divisions
There has been no other record equal to
this in railway history in this country
Notwithstanding this fact the stock at
it's present price pays better returns than
a number of the other high priced securi-
ties. 1t pays nearly 4 IL per cent.
Friends of the stock say that there is
every reason to believe that it will sell
at $50.

members present expected To uie an ...e

that II such was their hope they had
better die very soon or change their
course on such questions. In his judg-
ment. their policy, If persisted in.
would relegate many of them to pri-
vate life before they got their funeral
expenses paid.
In the ensuing short session Mr.. Allen
said that his remarks on Congressional
funerals had evidently made a deep i'm
preston on the country, as he had been
returned to the House by an increased
majority. 81 will repeat" he continued
what one of my old friends said to me
on my return home last summer. He
met me. and after congratulating me on
the very brilliant record / had made in
Congress, he said And, John, old fell
low we read your speech about the
Congressional funerals. and the people
all indorse what you said. You are ex-
actly right and you tell them fellows
up there in Congress that if you die
while you are there you do not ask
them to bury you. You have plenty of
friends down here who will take great
pleasure in doing that Cor you"
These are excerpts from Aliens rec
ord In the Forty-ninth Congress. They
indicate cheerful disposition and a
due regard for national interests. When
such man voluntarily relinquishes IL
public career and retires to the classic
precincts of Turelo. the nations loss
becomes Tupelo'S gain. IT will be many
a year before n true successor to John
Allen is developed in Congress.
