whole the market, from bull standpoint
was less satisfactory than for some time.
ID Is true 10 opened strong with fairl y
heavy volume OF buying by London
houses and By commission houses. Sub
ssquently LIndon reversed It's position
and turned seller and according TO some
accounts London wss moderate seller
on balance. During the first hour the
majority of orders seemed to run in the
railroad stocks of which Atchison, pre-
ferred and common, Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific common were especially
strong. Sugar. however, ives heavy. the
result OF the sharp advance Of Friday and
Saturday was that the short interest was
considerably reduced and eports that
trade war was on verge OF settlements
have 30 far failed to BIS confirmed. IL is
also known that as q retaliation for the
cut made by the Arbuckies In sugar, the
American Sugar Refinery company has
made a cut of one half cent In tbs price
of coffee.
During the afternoon rather . sharp
advance took place IN the CHANGERS under

LIMIT IS ONE WEEK
Manager Nelson Will be Able
to Decide in That Time.
WORK Is IN PROGRESS
Paramount Line TO be in 0per-
ton by September Is.
PROGRESS

The work Of constructing the new Fair
mount street car line was begun yester-
day morning. The commencement was
made at the corner of Ninth street and
Hillside avenue and the line win be built
north to the corner Of Thirteenth and
Hillside. From that place the track will
run one block east to Paramount avenue
and then north to Paramount college.
It was given out last night by the street
car company that the work of putting in
the new line from Ninth street to Fair
maunt will only require a week and
when completed the decision as to the
route OF the new line from the city to the
cemeteries will be announced. At the
present time the matter is at a standstin
ard viii remain so until the Paramount
end Of the new system is completed.
Superintendent Of Track Construction
Morrison had fifty men at work on the
lire yesterday and an additional force of
men and teams will be put to work to-
morrow. Two cars Of new ties viii arrive
in the city tomorrow to be used in the
work and a new lot Of joints for the rails
is expected within a few days.
The matter of grading for the line viii
not be difficult, in the opinion of the man.
agement, until the last hill between Thir-
teenth street and the cemeteries is reach
ed AT this place the grade is rather
steep and will require considerable filing
in and cutting down to get Ahe proper
road bed.
The new track is being placed on the
east side of Hillside avenue and leaves a
wide place for teams to travel. This is
the first time that the line building on
the side-of the street has been attempt
ed, but judging from what has been con-
structed Of the Fairmount line it will
prove a success. The placing Of the line
on Hillside avenue win not in any man
ner interfere with the wagon travel on
that avenue owing to the fact that the
track Will be some distance away from
the main part of the street.
The management have not as yet deter
mined as to the manner in which they
Will hang the trolley wires. They will in
all probability place the crane system
in, as this can be done in a very much
shorter time than with the other system.
Superintendent Nelson has made the
statement that whichever route is seltce-
ed for the line to the cemeteries from
the city, it will be completed for the
opening Of Paramount College, which oc-
ours on September y.

PRESENTED With SUNBURST
Gift to Miss Martin on Her Departure
for NeW Work..

Miss Ella Martin, who for the past ten
years has been in the employ of the
Wichita Wholesale Grocery house as
cashier and bookkeeper, last week folded
her tent and HE'D away to the great
metropolis, New York City, for a rest,
and as she terms it, to see more of the
world. The friends Of Miss Martin, while
approaching the motive of her leave-tak-
ing, regret exceedingly TO lose from their
midst one so highly endowed with all the
attributes which make a perfect woman
and loving friend. Those who know her
best have watched with interest her
straightforward course through the long
years of Flooding since she came to
Wichita a mere school girl, but with
graduating honors from an eastern col
lege and a determination to make her
own way alone, with neither relatives or
acquaintance, fortune favored her in
being able to establish herself with an
exemplary house whose propretors are
gentlemen of the highest type of man
hood and who, with an earnest apprecia-
ton of her long and faithful service TO
them, on her departure presented her
with an expensive sunburst diamond pin,
eXqusitely set with pearls Her asso-
ciates in the house also presented her
with beautiful gifts Of sterling silver as
tokens Of respect and friendship.
Elsie Martins life and career in Wich-
tia might well be taken as guide for
young ladies similarly situated bat who
have not the instructive foresight as she
had to economic and invest her earn
ings. Modest and retiring and self-pos-
sessed, her boone companions are the
very best books. from whose contents
she has a wei stored mind and is famil-
lar with all important current events Of
the century.

A lady living in the neighborhood was
lately presented with a valuable Can

elated over her acquisition. Birdie was
just getting acquainted with his sur
roundings, and had condescended to
sing few trills, just to show what he
could do If he tried; this generally after
his morning bath and cage cleaning.
The day being warm and sunshiny
the window of the room was thought
lessly left open during the latter oper-
alton, and as the cage bottom was
taken out there was a sudden flash Of
yellow. scream and then burst of
song from the top of the highest tree
on the street that would have made a
Bobolink turn gray with envy. How
he did sing. and every child in the
neiShborhood knew what had happened
in n minute.
There was rush to rccapture the es-
capped convict, but it was futile and
tears were in evidence as the gay song
ster flew to other trees and defied pur-
suit, singing as If half mad with Joy
at each flight.

youthful students as drlll-master turn
ed out his school, and march by fours,
double file and platoon was being thor

Birdie, wishing to get n nearer view of
