NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The stock mar
ket opened active and weak today, with
substantial declines appearing in virtually
every quarter. The declining movement
appeared to be a continuation of that
which appeared in the afternoon dealings
yesterday and there was nothing new in
this mornings developments which would
account directly for the course of prices
In the main, however, apprehensions as to
the effects of the anthracite miners strike
and the fears of a closer money market
together with the feeling of uncertainty
in regard to the political situation, ex-
planned the tendency of the market.
American stocks were depressed about
IA per cent in the London market and
moderate selling orders from that quar-
ter were executed here.
Interest was fairly well distributed and
there were no special features in the ear
ly trading.
Smart declines appeared in the anthra-
cite coal group and in the Granger snares.
Peoples Gas was comparatively steady.
Among the specialties there was rath-
er rapid break in Consolidated Gas.

August number on Hints to Young
Bird Students: Il read an appeal
signed by several prominent ornithoI-
ogists, among them Mr.. Brewster, call
ing upon the boys and girls in general
TO be more careful about their collect
ing of birds and eggs 1 read this ap-
peal with interest and decided that it
applied TO ME also; so l have deter
mined to leave eggs strictly alone and
study the habits of birds instead. I
have a great respect for the birds of
America"
1t is to be hoped that Illinois will
soon follow the example of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Nebraska and several other
states and make Arbor and Bird day
legal holiday, thus officially indors-
ing one of the best educative move
ments ever started. Let the young be
taught to plant, not to uproot, to save
life, not to destroy it.
Give fools their gold and knaves their
power;
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows field, or trains a flower,
Or plants tree, is more than all.
Whittier was right. Let the bird
and arbor day idea teach the children
to plant, to love the birds, to know the
secret of beauty and gentleness.

ROBERTS AND CANADIANS.

When Field-Marshal Lord Roberts
saw the colonial troops on parade in
the queens jubilee procession in Lon
don in 1897 he remarked that there
was the sort of soldier-material that
ne would like to lead in battle. Those
representatives of the colonial military
were half-drilled citizens but they car
ried their heads proudly and sought to
emulate the Steadiness of the finest
troops Of the empire who accompanied
them in that long line Laconic Rob
erts is not quoted as giving any rea-
sons for his remark Had he known
how soon his wish was to be realized
he might have said more.
But what excellent Judgment! TAX
en- raw from the farms and workshops
and ounting-rooms, he whipped them
into shape in a few weeks and gave
them assignments which other gen.
erals would have regarded as safe only
in the hands Of tried veterans.
Brigaded with the Gordon Highlanders,
the Canadian regiment has won the
chief glory of the present campaign, for
to their impetuous advance upon the
enemy at Paardeberg is credited the
reluctant surrender of Gen. Cronje.
One dispatch says that the Canadians
were only prevented from carrying the
laager at the point of the bayonet by
Imperative orders to the contrary
This was the spirit which led the
Roosevelt Rough Riders up San Juan
hill in company with the famous fight
ing thirteenth. The Canadians, like
wise, were not to be outdone in brav-
cry even by the disciplined veterans
beside whom they were fighting, heroes
of many bloody engagements, and all
the world looks on and applauds as it
did when San Juan fell. The manner
in which the Canadians are sustaining
the expectation of Lord Roberts is
something Of which the dominion is
and ought to be very proud. Canada
will be grateful to Bobs, despite the I'M
fortunate loss which has attended
these engagements, for giving to her
sons the opportunity to make this rec
ord for themselves, instead of follow
ing the advice of some Canadian war
experts" who thought it would be I'M
safe to trust them by themselves, and
suggested dividing the regiment into
units with British regular regiments
