NEW YORK, June 12.-The early move

very Irregular changes throughout the list.
The initial transactions were generally er-
fected at higher level. but subsequently
reactions were common.
At the opening OF business the higher
prices for American stocks reported from
London were something of an influence in
the dealings and the Government crop re-
port for May seemed to be rather more
favorably construed.
After openi- 1rmer, however, all Of the

Rumor That the Extra VIII BE De-

There was a decline in Washington
Gas stock on the local Stock Exchange
today. the price receding from 55 to 80 1-2.
Sales Of about 800 shares were made. No
especial significance was attached to the
selling. and it was stated by g good au-
thority that the extra dividend Of 81 a
share recently promised for the stock by
friends of the company viii be paid IN
questionably.
It was noticeable that whereas the ad-
vance of last week to 80 was made on
purchases CT several thousand shares ;he
decline today was apparently a manipula-
tive one on sales of a comparatively small
amount OF stock. This is believed by
well-informed brokers TO Indicate a de-
sire To purchase rather than sell the
stock
One statement made this afternoon was
that meeting of the directors Of the COM
pany will be held tomorrow, and that the
extra dividend Will then be declared, pay

BALTIMORE, June I2.-The residence Of

is the pastor of Bethany Methodist Epis-

It is a singular coincidence that the
minister had chosen to preach on the
evils of burglary and other crimes of
theft While he was delivering the SER

the house through a kitchen window,

Petition for More Lights win Proba-
bly, he Granted.

At Monday evenings meeting Of the
city government a petition Of the Port
land Electric Light company to erect
fourteen poles at various places on the
western promenade was laid over for &C.
ton in orier that the committee ON lights
might make an investigation There
were several remonstrants TO the petition
and yesterday Alderman Brown and
Councilman Sloman OF the committee
met the remonstrants on the piazza Of the
residence Of Henry p. Cox, ESQ.,, on the
promenade. Phere were present besides
MIR. Cox, Elias Thomas, Esq, Charles
II. Payson, Esq, Lucien Snow, Esq. and
Il. T. Burrowes, Esq. Park Commits
sioners Smith and Jordan, City Electro
clan Cummings and Manager Mather of
the. Portland Electsic Light company
were also on hand.
The meeting occupied some time during
which the subject was thoroughly dis
cussed. In answer to the question rs TO
what parties desired the lights on the
promenade the committee stated that
many wheelmen and people accustomed
to riding wanted more lights placed In
that part OF the city.
Manager Mather showed plan Of the
proposed lights and invited the remon-
strants to go over the proposed route
where the poles are wanted. Mr.. Snow
accepted and was satisfied that everything
would be all right II the petition should
be granted. The lights will be taken
from st. John street, the poles will be
placed on the hill from that street to the
and there viii not be any
more poles on the promenade than at the
present time. Manager Mather also said
that the four ugly poles now standing on
the promenade would BIS removed to give
place to four hard pine poles on which
would be placed arc lights.
Mr.. Snow will explain the matter to
the other remonstrants and the chances
are that the petition will be granted.

quite willing to give foot passengers a

was plodding along with the Disguised

PRESENTATION
. Condition Practically Conhned 20
Men, Monkeys and Herscs.

=
Precipitation Is almost peculiar 10 men,
monkeys and horses. Horses sweat al
over the body, and so do human beings,
but monkeys, II Is said, sweat only on
the hands. feet and face. The use OF
perspiration Is mainly to cool the body
by Its evaporation, although II Is gener-
ally believed that waste materials are
also excreted through the sweat glands
when the action Of the kidneys is inter-
fered with. In animals that perspire but
little the cooling of the body Is effected
by evaporation from the lungs, as we see
In the case OF a painting dog.
The amount of perspiration varies
greatly, according to the temperature of
the surrounding air, the condition of
health, the degree OF exercise taken, the
amount of fluids imbibed, etc. The av-
erage amount of perspiration Is thought
to be about two pints day, but this Is
of course much increased In hot weather.
In damp weather evaporation from the
skin Is lessened, and so one seems to per-
spire more profuscly than In dry wealth
or. but this Is only apparent, for really
Transportation Is lessened when the at
mospherc is charged with moisture.
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term used
to denote an abnormal increase in per-
SEPARATION. This increase may be general
from the entire body or confined to some
particular part, as the face, the hands or
the feet. Profuse sweating Is very com
mon in cases of debility and in excessive
" stout persons. 1t occurs also In con-
nection with various diseases, such as
consumption might sweats), pneumonia.
inhammatory rheumatism and certain
nervous disorders. Sudden emotion may
cause increased perspiration.
The opposite condition, a great diminu-
tion or absence OF sweating (anhidrosis),
Is much rarer and occurs usually In CON-
nection with some disease of the skin.
Sometimes the character Of the secretion
Is changed, and cases Of black, blue, gray,
yellow or red sweating have been de-
scribed.
The treatment of profuse perspiration
depends upon the cause. TONES, cold or
cool bathing, especially salt bathing, tenn
perate exercise and rubbing of-the skin
are useful In cases dependent upon gen
eral debility or obesity. Spraying or
sponging the body with brandy and wa
ter, vinegar and water or a solution Of
tannin or of boric acid Is useful.
Certain drugs which have a tendency
to diminish perspirntion are sometimes
employed to reduce the night sweats of
consumption when these are so excessive
rs to weaken the already debilitated pa
tient and to prevent much needed sleep.
