for lob, said resident OF Paterson, N.
J.. to a Washington Star reporter the other
day, there recently died in my town a
boss carpenter named Hobart, who had one
question which he always asked of journey
men who applied to him for employment.
If the applicant was found to possesseall
the other necessary qualifications Hobart
would ask: -.
"l.What are your favorite tunes?"
"Why, what do you want to know that
"You whistle and sing some at your work,
don't your"
ooh, yes"
"Well, what tunes do you generally whs-
"oh. there's old Hundred and Aud
Lang syne,' and Down by the Weeping
Willows and"
That's enough the boss would exclaim.
"You won't do for me. These tunes are
too slow for me. Good-day."
On the contrary, if the applicant answered:
"Oh. | generally whistle Yankee Doodle
or THE Fishers Hornpipe,' or something Of
that sort, the carpenter would say at once:
Il think you'll do! Take off your coat
If you want to and 60 to work"

Rryan Men Regard Dewey Movement
as Too Late to Be Dangerous.
While Admiral Dewey is said to find much
announcement for his presidential aspira-
tions In the reception he met with on the
swing around the circle from which ne mas
lust returned, there is no responsive senu-
ment among the politicians in Congress nor
the democratic managers.
The expectation attributed to the aomlrai
that uninstructed delegates from Alabama

necticut and other states, making in all
more than two-thirds Of the democratic ma

this fear no longer exists, and as far as
Admiral Dewey is concerned. they nave
never had any fear of his candidacy.
It is fully understood that If the con

more than a third of the delegates their
object would be, not to prevent the nomlna-
ton of Bryan, but. through their apparent
ability to make trouble in the nomination
TO compel a modification of the platform

The Active Interest of the Commits

In a letter to District Commissioner Mac
farland the Rev. Mr.. Wilbur F. Crafts.
superintendent and treasurer of the reform
bureau, bespeaks the active interest Of the
Commissioners in behalf of IAN important
divorce reform for the District of Column
bia and the territories. which Is now pend
ing in tho judiciary committees of both
houses Of Congress-
Mr.. Crafts states that the entire District
Supreme Court has given him signed state
ments that the present law of the District
on this subject is entirely too lax, and that
Mr.. A Is. Duvdll. the attorney for the Dis
changes. the Ray-Platt bill, which bill. Mr.
Crafts understands. has not yet been ap-
proved by the Commissioners
Il fear wrote Mr.. Crafts. some of the
lawyers in the District are afraid they will
lose some practice in this line and are ask
Ing delay, but inasmuch as Judge Bradley
has said from the bench that Washington
has become a Mecca for divorces it would
seem that the Commissioners should hasten
to remove this stigma, SO far as their
recommendation would help 1t. To promote
the early passage of this bill was one of
the prominent reasons for organizing a
federation of churches and reform societies,
which has just been accomplished
1t is understood the Commissioners have
referred the proposed law to the Bar Asso-
citation of the District for report thereon.

resentative on the school board for several

ditions of the public schools in that section

east section of the city has more compul-
sorry halliday schools and more congested
conditions in school buildings than any

zens association, the associations. he add
ed, being capable of doing much good in
promoting the general welfare of the city
and District. He said the recommendation
of the association will receive very careful
consideration. and he hoped the members of

satisfactory to the whole District. He was
informed that the association has no can
d1date, although members of the committee
suggested the names of Mr.. Frizzeu and
Mr.. Chapel.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. May 17.-There were no
pronounced changes in the character of the
trading in today's stock market. A traders
market, in which a rally had been forced
without increasing the demand. discouraged
the clique which had forced up prices on
the short interest. The rally. which seemed
TO be willing to run two or three points
above Yesterdays closing prices. gave way
to hesitancy. and finally, in some instances
to selling
The railroads were opened at higher lev
els, and some round amounts changed
hands at the top prices The buying of
Atchison preferred was called good but
stock was supplied around the high level.
The rumors of Burlington and Union Pa
ctfc coming into closer relations by reason
of the latter's purchases of the formers
stock helped prices for time.
Inc increase in earnings reported by st.
Paul made good impression in London
and inspired moderate local demand The
same difflculty was encountered in every
property. however, namely, a failure to find
purchasers after a weu-planued advance
had been accomplished.
The market is easily advanced a point
but IN marketing purchases the gain is lost
In consequence of this condition commits
sion houses continue to favor selling on all
rallies and to caution clients against ex-
pecting any considerable advance for the
present. There is much confusion in the
speculative outlook, and prices are not like
ly to always reflect values. There will be
cheap stock without reason simply because
good reasons exist for detracting from the
present price of others.
Special movements will come and for q
time the arguments applicable to the en-
tire market will appear to have been for
gotten. AT the moment the chief source
of disturbance is unquestonably the indus
trial list Today a per cent decline in
American tobacco from its previous low
level was the unsettlng influence. Talk OF
rival companies to be organized by inter-
ests identified with the retiring members
OF the American board and the company's
statement of earnings were the induce
ments to today's sales
American sugar was weak at times under
professional attacks. and the steel stocks
We're without support save such as came
from the short interest.
After time the investment issues will
be divorced from industrial domination hut
there are many things combining to DELAY
such condition. The absence of compa-
tent leaders is important factor Poll
tics are growing in Importance as a specu-
lative factor, and the public is resolved to
await midsummer bargains. If this reso-
luton to wait can be overcome by some
favorable devolpments there will be disap-
pointments as to the probable low level of
prices. Money rules at IA, and . per cent.
and no special changes in these rates are
reported. The frequent idleness of the
ticker indicated a small speculative demand
for both money and securities

MAY SETTLE STRIKE TODAY.
Conference Between Men and Street
Chr Officials in ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 17.-Although the
basis Of settlement of the big street rail-
way strike which was agreed to by the
grievance committee and the Transit COM
pany officials, was rejected last night by
the executive committee of the street rail-
way employees. ii is believed the two will
be able to come to some sort of agreement
today.
Another meeting of the grievance COM
mittee and the representatives of the st.
Louis Transit Company will be held this
afternoon. when the point of difference will
be taken up again.
The point which caused the executive
board of the employees union to reject the
proposition was the clause which it con-
tanned in regard to the reinstatement of
old men. The company offered simply to
reiustate all the old employees but the
executive board decided that this offer
should be amended so that the old en-
ployes should be reinstated to the positions
held when the strike was declared The
union does not insist. however. that men,
bars who have been guilty of criminal acts
since the strike was inaugurated shall be
reinstated.
The lines operated yesterday sent out
cars today. This is the tenth day of the
strike and the St Louis Transit Company
has only been able to get into operation
few more than half its twenty-five lines.
and these are not running the full quota of
cars.
