The stock market yesterday was fitting
close Of a week that has shown much i'm
provement. Prices advanced in all parts
Of the list and closed at the lop level for
the day and the week in many cases. Buy
ing for London, for the cliQues, and some
commission buying as we'll, almost the
first In recent weeks, aided the shorts in
putting prices up on themselves The
news OF the abandonment OF the siege of
Mafeking had the effect that good news
for Great Britain has been expected to
have on the market. London, although
not heavy buyer, on account of the gen.
eral giving over of business to rejoicing
was confident and optimistic regarding
American securities as well as her own.
American buyers, too, seemed to consider
the news of Importance as a factor in the
general financial situation. The news on
this side OF the water was not of great in
terest or moment, but all developments
were satisfactory in the extreme. The
bank statement was good, showing an in
crease in cash and in reserve. Money con-
tinued easy. The financial world believes
that the exports of gold are over, or nearly
over, and has given up worrying about
them. There is long period Of plentiful
money ahead as far as can be foreseen.
The New York gas war is settled as far
as can be learned and the continued
strength of Sugar Trust stock convinces
many that there is soon to be a settle
ment Of the sugar fight as WELL Earnings
on all the railways continue TO increase
The outlook for the stock market is
good. Many heretofore pronounced bears
are coming around to the belief that the
decline in prices is over for the present at
least and that further good advances may
be looked for. Perhaps reaction of a
point or two may be expected early this
week on the putting out of new short
lines. but IL the general symptoms of
the market are worth anything the balance

EIGHTEEN HUNDRED VOICES.
Burlington Promises Much At Her
SaengerleSl.

One thousand eight hundred people
singing together will create a volume
of sound seldom heard, but Burlington
promises this at her Saengerfest. They
will not be large number of persons
who have come together at random
and are joining in one song, of which
a few know the air and a few more Il,
part of the words-but 1880 trained
singers, almost all of whom have cul-
tivated the beautiful art from child
hood up and who have been carefully
drilled during many months. If one
has heard it he will certainly long for
an opportunity to again enjoy so rare
a treat, and if he has not love of
music, curiosity should prompt him
TO make use of the opportunity and
visit the city of Burlington this sum-
mer. @ i 4t4!
On August 9, 10. II and 10, of this
year, that fair city will be the scene
of one of the greatest gatherings OF
music-loving people that has ever Ia
ken place in the west. Trained sing
ers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri and Iowa will as
semble there and give their voices i'll
a number of grand choruses. A num-
Der of solo singers and an orchestra
of sixty instruments will assist in de-
lighting the visitors, who will gather
from far and near to enjoy this great
song festival.
Burlington has vast hall that will
accommodate five thousand or more
people, and a very careful census OF
the city shows that all guests can be
taken care of in handsome manner. OF
course there will be other attractions
to while away the time. between the
grand concerts, so that everyone who
attends the great Saengerfest will be
guaranteed good time and no one
will find any portion of his or her
stay in the Orchard City tedious.

President Gates. OF Iowa College, Gives
n Modern Instance

Grinnell, May 16.-(special) THE
days of vicarious atonement are not al
together of the legendary past, as an
incident which lately occurred proves.
The traditional rivalry, not to say en-
nifty, between the sophomore and
freshmen classes exists at Grinnell coll
lege as elsewhere, and when some men,
bers of the sophomore class who are

matters. rugged a mock freshie and put
it on top of one of the college build
ings, much fun was anticipated. Wires
We're strung direct from one of the
rooms to the freshman, and the inten-
ton was to set it on fire during chapel
exercises, by touching a button. But
thru some mistake the wires were
crossed or the battery was too pow
erful. the heat generated was sufficient
to fire not only the image, but melt
ed the brass ball on the DOME. Presi-
dent Gates was not long in discovering
the culprits; he knew it was done Dy
students in electricity of the sopro-
mores. Assembling the entire student
body, the president asked them to vote
on the penalty to be exacted for such
fragrant violation of rules. When a
suspension for three weeks had been
decided on the president, not wishing
to suspend students who had good rec
ords, therefore announced to the
assembly that he would take the pun
ishment upon himself and absent him
self from college for period of three
weeks. And he did that very thing. IS

FOR RELIEF or BoERs.
Appeal to Citizens by Boer Relief AS
ISOLATION.

The national Boer Relief Fund asso-
citation, whose Offices are in the ST.
James Building, Broadway, cor. Goth
ST., New York, is distributing thru
out the country an appeal to the
American people asking for funds to
aid the Boer widows and orphans. The
appeal is signed by Hon. w. Bourke
Cochran, chairman Of the association.
This is the appeal addressed to
every citizen:
You are citizen of the greatest
republic and beneficiary Of the freest
government ever established by civ
ilized man. As such we ask you 10
aid in mitigating the grave evils which
must inevitably be suffered by inno-
cent people, thru the war now raging
between Great Britain and the South
African republics.
at is true that all the victims,-
English and Boer,-of this assault up
on republican government are en-
titled to sympathy, but it should be
remembered that England, the wealth
lest nation in the world, is amply able
to care for the families of those who
fall fighting its battles, while the wild
ows and orphans of the South African
Burghers, whatever the result of the
contest, will be plunged in dire dis
tress thru the loss of their male rel
atives and the destruction OF THEN
scanty property.
eve do not ask you to aid the mill
tary operations of either belligerent,-
that would be to violate the laws OF
neutrality-but we do ask you to CO.
operate with the National Boer Relief
Fund association in relieving some
of the miseries which. threaten nom
combatants on the weaker side. This
is privilege which the laws of civil
lied warfare allow to the humane. It
is duty which Christianity imposes
upon the charitable.
'It is earnestly hoped that Ameri-
can sympathy with these heroic de-
tenders Of liberty will be ,attested by
a generous fund raised for the relif
of their families and by the number
of citizens contributing. Nr.
"Any contribution, however small,
will be gratefully received and ac-
knowledged by the official souvenir re-
ceipt of this association.
"Yours very sincerely,

Former Hawaiian Queen Has 4 Poo

Washington, May Is. - Former
Queen .Liliuokalani of Hawaii, will
start westward today. She goes by
way of the Pennsylvania Railway to
Chicago and thence to the Pacific
coast.
The former queen will sail on the
3Oth for Honolulu. With her is rath-
err large encourage, consisting Of five
servants and few personal friends.
Queen Liliuokalani has been in Wash
ington for over two years, and has
lived in the best style here, keeping up
an elegant establishment. She takes
back with her, among other things,
two automobiles of the latest pattern.
She says she will never return to the
United States again, and leaves this
country with rather poor opinion of
it, chiefly because congress did not
vote a matter of $25o,ooo to her sup
port.
