Special Dispatch 20 The Evening Star
NEW YORK, June 29.-An urgent demand
from the short interest resulted in substan-
tial gains during the opening hour this
morning The new level invited some profit
taking on a small scale. prices receding for
a time from their best. London cables re-
Elected improvement varying from u to
IA per cent, and foreign houses had few
unimportant orders in this market A frac-
tional decline in the wheat market helped
the advancing tendency. especially in the
Changers.
The buying of Burlington and Atchison
preferred was one of the features of the
early trading. In addition to purchases
against previous sales the demand for the
stocks named was based on the outlook
for better investment demand after the
first of the month.
The short interest in Baltimore and Ohio
was more nervous than that in other
due to urgent buying against recent sales.
The difficulty in borrowing stock rather
than change in sentiment was credited
with inspiring the movement.
The coal stocks. particularly Reading pre-
ferred. are being bought by conservative
interests. who are relying upon the advance

ton which may be undertaken.
The steel stocks were strong during the
morning under mixed demand. in which
some manipulation was apparent. The clos
ing of mills next month has had less in
fiuence on prices than usual. owing to the
low level of the stocks concerned. The
closing is explained in various ways, none
of which would be feasible had orders con-
tinued on last years scale. The closing is
due to dull times in the trade. but there is
better prospect for new business once
rates become stable at the new level.
Strong interests are working In the interest
of harmony, and present indications are
favorable to success.

Justice csae'. Dsei.fon In Case of Dog


Justice Cole delivered his opinion today
in the case of Marion o. Burrows against
the District of Columbia. which was an
action for the recovery of $500 damages
for the alleged unlawful Selling and kill
ing of the plaintiffs dog Dandy" by the
employees of the District poundmaster some
time in December. 1899.
The suit was instituted before Samuel
H. Church, Justice of the peace, who, after
hearing considerable testimony on both
sides. followed by arguments. rendered
judgment in favor of the District.
From this decision the plaintiff appealed
to the Supreme Court of the District of CO.
lumbia.
The case was tried before Justice Cole and
jury. in Circuit Court No. l, May IA.
1900. and the jury gave a verdict In favor
of the plaintiff for $50 damages A motion
for a new trial was filed by the District,
submitted about three weeks later Justice
Cole in his opinion today holds that the YER
dict was improperly rendered in favor OF
the plaintiff and he ordered that the YER
dict be set aside and granted the motion
of the District for a new trial.
Justice Cole holds that the District gov
eminent is not liable for the acts, negli-
gence or misconduct of the poundmaster;
that he is not an agent of the municipality.
but is engaged in the performance OF a
public duty: that the office of poundmaster
is an adjunct of the health department, and
that his duties are created and defined by
act of Congress- and not by the District
Commissioners.
The plaintiff was represented by Mr..
Charles Poe. and Mr.. A. Leftwich Sinclair,
assistant attorney for the District of Co
lumbia, appeared for the defendant.

A GREAT WORK FINISHED
ENGLISH DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL
BIOGRAPHY COMPLETED.
Lord Mayor of London Gives . Lunch
con to Celebrate the
Occasion.

LONDON. June 29.-There was a remark
able gathering of literary and artistic Lon
don today at luncheon in the Mansion
House, given by the lord mayor. Mr.. A. j..
Newton. to celebrate the completion of the
dictionary of national biography. Over two
hundred persons were present. including Mr..
Joseph II. Choate, the United States am
bass;idor; Mr.Lesie Stephen. the first editor
of the work; Mr.. Sidney Lee. the present
editor: the bishop of London. the Right
Rev Mandell Creighton. DID,, Mr. John
Morley. Sir Charles Dixie. Mr. w. E. H.
Lecky, Vlscount Peel. Sir Clements Mark
ham. president of the Royal Geographical
Society; Mr. X. W. Glider. MIR. Andrew
Lang. MIR. Edmund Goss and Mr.. Austin
DObson.
Speeches were delivered by Mr.. Morley
the lord mayor. the bishop of London and
others. They all paid tributes to the mag
n:tudc of the benefit conferred by the work
just completed. and made complimentary
references to America, caused by MIR.
Choates presence.
Mr.. Morley said he regretted that men
Ike Washington. Jefferson Hamilton and
Franklin. who. though Americans, were
born English Subjects, were not included in
the biography.
Mr.. Choate, responding to the toast of
his health. said he so was struck by
these omissions. He pointed out that only
one American woman was mentloneQ-fo-
cahontas-and she only because she saved
the life of an English captain.
Indeed" continued Mr. Choate. every
thing relating to Americas separation from
England is excluded and the reader will
not learn from the biography that America
ever came into existence as separate
nation. But the fact that Mr.. Morley
claims such men as Washington Jefferson,
Hami ton and Franklin is an indication of
the bond which exists between the two
countries. bond which grows closer and
closer as time goes on"
MIR. ChodIt remark was greeted
with cheering.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.
Tobacco Habit Cure Drove Husband
From Cigars to Cigarettes.

From the Detroit Free Press.
MY smoking has always been a sore
point with my wife, who never lets a
chance slip by to try and talk me out of
the habit" said Brown. Now, i enjoy
a good cigar and see use in giving up
something that affords me pleasure. The
other day while | was rummaging around
in a cupboard | ran, across a box of al
legged tobacco cure: 1t could be put, so it
said on the lid, in the coffee of the one
that it was intended for, and he would
be cured of the habit without knowing
how it was done.
II saw at once what Mrs. Brown was up
to, and I resolved to get even with her
The contents looked as much like sugar as
anything, so l threw it out and refilled
the box from the sugar bowl.
THAT evening from the unusual sweet
ness of my coffee l realized that she had
begun to dope me. Finishing my dinner
1 pushed back my chair and said:
cit is strange, my dear. but l haven't
the slightest desire to smoke cigar |
saw her beam at this. and then | con-
tinued: But instead l have a desire to
smoke cigarette.
You have WHAT" she shrieked, for
she considers il sure death to smoke the
little rolls.
"a desire to smoke cigarette said
1, calmly. 4 shall have to go over to the
corner store and get a package
Leaving her gasping for breath, went
over and bought a package and smoked
the miserable little things for the rest of
the evening, while she wildly begged me
to smoke a cigar or anything else but
cigarettes.
For three days my wife kept putting
her supposed dope in my coffee and l kept
smoking. continually remarking that it was
strange that no longer cared for a cigar,
but could not smoke enough cigarettes
FINALLY she broke down and confessed
ing her by pretending that she had fixed
the cigarette habit on me for life, we COM
promised by my agreeing to give them up
and she to refrain from saying anything
more about my smoking cigars.
1.-The agent that Sold her the dope is
going to call Soon ITO get a Recommended
ton from my, wife He'll get it. He'll
get something else, too"

\ sign of the preparedness of the navy

venient points for naval use. Almost be-

over the GOLFERS purchased during the

Steps have been taken to anticipate the

verting nearer cargoes of coal to Admiral

The department this morning received
news of the arrival at Singapore of the

Although much pressure has been brought
to bear upon the State Department TO issue
invitations To the governments of other
countries to participate in the approaching
exposition AT ST Louis to commemorate the

fdvDrably- The reason for the delay Is said

which prescribeS that the State Department
must be informed that the various sums of
money necessary TO insure the success of
the exposition have been raised before il
can commit the United States government.
