KING OF FOX HUNTERS

fox hunter at SO years Of age-a fox
hunter for more than three score years
and ten-Brisbin Skies has, indeed, well
earned the right to the title 'the king
of fox hunters" He loves the chase to-
day as much as he did seventy-three
years ago, when as a boy of ten he fol-
lowed the hounds and fox in his frs t
hunt. He has probably participated in
more fox chases than any living man
in America
1.-THE king of fox hunters" lives at
Gap, Lancaster County, not great dis
lance from the Berks County line One
of his most remarkable rides was made
when he was 81 years of age. There
were sixty hounds and thirty riders in
the hunt When liberated the fox took
a course to northward for four miles,
then doubled to southwark for five miles
then westward giving hounds, horses
and riders chase of nearly seventeen
miles before he was captured.
Oven fence, hedge and ditch the Old
man, on his fine hunter, kept at the
heels of the hounds, and was up with
the quarry when seized by the first dog.
The hunters participating were unani-
nous in declaring it one of the greatest
rides in the history of Pennsylvania fox
chasing, independent of the age of the
man who first sin at the death. "-Phila-

CHEAP LODGINGS FOR WORKING
WOMEN

| NO ceremony or ostentation attended
| the recent opening of the new Salvation
Army Homo for Working Women at
l53 Pleasant street, The matron and
her assistants were present to welcome
all corners and show them through the
home. The first view of the house
/ from the outside gives a good idea Of
what is to be expected within. The
outside walls are painted neat blue
and bear the label Salvation Home for
Working Women, Beds Ten and Fifteen
Cents Per Night; by the Week, Sixty
Cents and Upwards.
The interior of the home is comforta-
bly, and simply furnished. The street
floor contains besides the room of the
matron a general reading-room for wo-
men lodging at the home. The walls of
this room are decorated with pictures,
and the table covered with books and
magazines. In this room dodgers may
sit until half-past nine at night.
Six rooms, containing twenty beds,
occupy the second and third floors. All
these beds let for fifteen cents night,
which price includes the use of pri-
vate clotheslocker. The attic contains
nine ten-cent beds. These are in every
way as good as the fifteen cent beds,
only the rooms are not as pleasant as
those down stairs. A separate room is
provided for intoxicated women who
shall come to the home.
The home will be open from seven to
eleven p M, but dodgers may be admit
ted as late as half-past eleven.-Boston

The MEN ARE SPLENDID"

confidence. His taking and holding

Relieve the Tension.

achievement in capturing Spion kOp.

realization that his success is only
provisional. ~ il appears clear from
General Buffers dispatch that the
Beers fully recognized the stagetical
the time his message was sent off they
had not abandoned the idea Of recap
turing the position. Nevertheless
load of anxiety has been removed
from the nation and there is a general
expectation that as the British have
succeeded in keeping the hill all day
long they Will manag" to retain 1t un-
til Gen. Warren plants guns enough on
it to dominate the Boer trenches right

There is the usual disposition here
to eXaggerate the Importance Of the
point scored. But the best informed
people realize that Gen. Butler still
has task ahead Of him calling for
the most dogscd persistence ana un-

STOCK MARKET
 STILL VERY DULL True Index of the Speculative Condition at Present. TRADERS TOOK A HOLIDAY There Was Some Little Buyingto Cover Shorts, But the Large Increase
 inReserves Attracted Very
 Little Attention
TRADERS TOOK A HOLIDAY

New York, July 14-The sole interest at taching to today's stock market was an example of dullness. In that respect it was a true index of the speculative condition, which is one of entire uncertainty and lack of conviction.
 Even the professional traders who have constituted themselves the champions of certain stock during the week were. not in evidence and only small trades between the regular freGuenters of the floor were made at any time. Offerings to sell made unduly large inroads on prices because no one stood ready to buy, and any demands to buy caused a rapid advance because no one was on hand to sell
 Most of the board members were out of town for holiday confident that nothing that could occur would induce any sudden activity to develop. Some desultory efforts were made to advance Union Pacific by making bids for the next dividend on specified number of shares at higher fig ure than the prevailing dividend rate. But these efforts secured little attention. The market was as whole lower than last night, when the bank statement appeared.
 There was some little buying to cover shorts, but the large increase in reserves and the surplus attracted even less at tention than did last weeks unexpected de- creas.~ There was no explanation in the large gain in cash, and it was universally accepted as the working of the average system in the rectifcation of last week s unwarranted show of a loss.
 The sterling exchange market was nomi- nal usual on Saturday, but the posted rates for demand sterling was advanced 1ac in response to the rise in London dis counts. It is pretty certain that these de- velopments foreshadow an advance in the Bank of England minimum discount rate and export of gold from New York next week.

 New Orleans, July H.-The Chronicle s weekly crop report of today showed a de- cided improvement in the condition of the growing plant in all sections of the South and with beneficial rains in Texas Liver pool closed 5-64 down on near futres, and 2-64 lower on distant arrivals, spots losing 1-16d on a retail demand of only 5000 bales. Weather conditions being most favorable to the growing crop today Galveston re- porting the remarkable record breaking forty-eight rainfall of 14.7e, while at many inland stations of Texas heavy welcomed rainfalls were reported. Light rains also fell along the Middle, East Gulf and South Atlantic coast. while cloudy and threaten ing weather prevailed over Oklahoma, Ar kansas and all Gulf states, conditions fa- vorable to the crop.

Trading was chiefly of local professional character though the foreign contingent purchased the fall and later months on small scale. Speculation was arrested to some extent by the fact that Havre was closed in observance of holiday. The spot market lacked activity despite firmer un- dertone, which conveyed the impression that buyers were loath to follow the ad- vance in values and would hold off for a reaction.

porters continue indifferent and stimulat- ing news of some kind is much needed to cause much recovery in prices. Shipments from Argentine last week were IA million, making 561a millions since January l.
 Corn has been been active and higher owing to good consumptive and export demand and moderate interior offerings. The present conditions of the growing crops on the whole is exceptionally favora- ble. In the meatime the statistical report is strong, and so long as the present con- sumptive demand continues prices are not likely to decline much.
 Provisions are feverish but fluctuations are confined within a narrow range. Hogs have been coming in fairly free but the in- quiry for products is rather better and the movement of hogs is expected to fall off during this month Packers, however sell on all the advances, otherwise prices would probably be better.
