THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Jan. l0-The stock market
was dull and narrow today except for the
stock of the American, Sugar Refining
company. Previous to the assembling OF
the stockholders meeting there was a
considerable show of strength In this
stock owing to u general conviction that
the sugar trade war had more of shadow
than of substance in 1t. The declarations
contained In the presidents report rather
took Wall stdeet's breath and caused
fear that unless conditions change diNi-
dends on the stock may be suspended.
The stock declined rapidly the price vary
ing as much as ~ between sales. The
first drop took IN. the stock to 1Ss when f1i II
again to 1l7s4, bringing out heavy stop
loss orders on the way down. rallied to
near 122. reacted aid again rallied In
the final dealings. The large and per-
stock served as recuperative force by
buying to cover controcts. All the proml-
nent industrials were quite sharply af-
fected in sympathy. the bears seizinS
the opportunity to offer prices down and
uncover stop loss orders. The railroads
were much less affected. although the
earlier gains were mostly wiped OUT.
at the decline. led by the Baltimore and
Ohio stocks on the company's strong
statement of December earnings The
general relaxation in money rates all
over the world had induced a conviction
that the official discount rates both of the
Bank of England and the Imperial bank
of Germany will be reduced tomorrow
and board room traders were inclined to
buy stocks in anticipation of a foreign
demand on this account. Stocks were
generally firm today in foreign markets
of the easier money rates. But 1t is very
clear that the money markets owes its
abundance and ease to the thorough
liquidation of speculative accounts which
has been effected all over the world In
the last few weeks, and to lack of re-
newed speculation. Spectators are ap-
parently still disincired to take on stocks
and today's market was but narrow af-
tair even taking into account the viO
lent price movement of some of the spe-
cialties. The prevailing dullness Is at
tributed by traders to fears of unfavor-
able news from South Africa. but 1t Is
not improbable that the existing condi.
tions there, as well as In the financial
world have been accurately discounted In
the speculative markets. New develop
ments are awaited to warrant new al.
justment of values. Total sales, 5i96U

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is in the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that wweak
heart, vweak lungs, nweak nerves and
other forms of PHYSICAL deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach Is sound, who can digest and
assinilate the food he eats, and so keep

Is the man who Is least liable to collapse

NO SPIRITUAL SYMPHONY.
When Each Religion Insists on Hav-
ing the Only Score of the Master.

Boston. April 25.-Addressing the con-
gress of Liberal Religion last night. Rev.
DR.. R. Heber Newton. said: In 1S45
fast day was duly observed in London,
as INTERPRETED by a doctor of theology
in his sermon on that day, because OF
monsters unheard of heretofore, now
common among US, pleading for toll
Grafton of all religions and WorshlpS- OF
this breed are the monsters now gath
cred here in this congress of Liberal
Religion. We are here not only to plead
for a liberation of all religions and wor-
ships, Christian, Jewish and ethnic of
every variety; we are here to plead for
a sympathy between all religions; for
vital truths in each others religions.
THE monsters here gathered are at
least not pitiful intellectual inverte-
brates, f1abby-faithed rubber-religioned
souls, vicious varieties of spiritual jelly
fish.
1.-The vice of dogmatic religion is the
exaggeration of the dOgmas Of the diff
ferent religions. the isolation of each
dOctrinaI score, the insistence of each
dOgmatic voice in drowning all other
voices, the turning of the chorus of the
sOuul into a sole performance by each
separate church. No spiritual SYM
phony is possible when each religion in
sists on having the one only score of the
divine master and rendering it as an
aria. Against such spiritual selfshness
the monsters now assembled protest

of the faith which lies below all beliefs,
the doctrine which is the heart of every
dogma, the spiritual trust out of which
all intellectual conviction springs.
Brothers, one and ALL of whatever name
who have outgrown the petty provin-
cialisms of piety. be it ours to aspire af-
ter the one spiritual religion of human
ity, the life of the cross. Be it ours to

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

After showing the ridiculous side of
a number of fads in satirical farce,
Mr. Charles H. Hoyt some years ago
turned his attention to the new woman
idea and produced "A Contented Wo-
man." 1t was meant to show the ridic-
ulous side of the movement which
placed women in politics, and it's COM
b1natiOn of OVerdraWn characters and
circumstances and witty lines succeeded
in doing so. The piece was seen for
the first time in Topeka at the Craw-
ford theater last night in the hands
Of Belle Archer and her company.
In the original production the late
Caroline Miskel Hoyt had the part of
the Denver wife who opposed her hus-
band in the contest for mayor. Miss
Archer is her successor and has been
identified with the farce for the past
two seasons. All that is required in
the character is ability to read a linn
tied number of lines and wear several
different gowns becomingly, and Miss
Archer seems to fill the requirements
nicely.
The company associated with Miss
Archer is fairly adequate to the needs
of the farce. Miss Henrietta Lee is
seen to advantage in the vivacious but
rather insignificant part of Mrs. F.bb-
smith," and her translated songs were
received with much enthusiasm last
night. Miss Bonnie Lottie sustained
the impression produced by her name
by indulging in an aerobatic dance.
A large audience saw the farce.

ON PUBLIC WORKS.
Place Recommended For Employment
of Prison Labor.

Washington. April 25-The Industrial
commission today sent to congress its
report on prison labor. In summing up
it's conclusions the commission says all
prisoners should be engaged in produc-
tive labor and that the state should
have absolute control of their care.
Their employment with the intention of
producing revenues the report says,
tends to the greatest competition with
free labor and detractS from the puni-
tive reformatory and disciplinary fea
lures of the prisons. Employment of
prisoners on public works has the least
tendency to competition with free labor.
In order to harmonize the antagonistic
interests of the different states, the in
dustrial operations of penal and like in
stitutions should be under supervision
Of a central office. Adoption of laws en-
bracing the principles mentioned has
been retarded by various conditions in
many of the states. The adoption of
uniform legislation, the report says, is
the only remedy for existing abuses.
The commission submits general pro-
visions of law mainly from the New
York statute and recommends that such
part shall be embodied in the laws of
the different states as is found possible.
The interdiction of interstate commerce
in all goods, etc, the product of convict
labor supplem rented by state legislation
would be the nearest to a complete rem
edy for evils of convict labor competi-
ton; but in the absence of such laws
the most practical step would be an act
making such goods upon their arrival
in any state subject to its laws. Com
missioners Smythe and Harris dissented
from that portion of the report recon-
mending an Introduction of prison made
goods and Mr.. Smythe also dissents
from recommendation fixing eight
hours for days work for prisoners.

Washington, April 25.-The surgeon
general of the marine hospital service
has received a report from Surgeon
Carmichael in charge at Honolulu, un-
der date of April 8. He says that since

encouraging. Only one detention camp
was open, there were two conVa1escents
at the pest house, but no other cases
No new cases had been reported from

which have spread the plague. but a
bounty of 25 cents had been offered and
a professional rat catcher appointed by
