Wednesday, Pending etrIke

New York, Aug. e-Busines6
Wednesday was on a reduced scale
and there was q more general dispo-
sition to curtail operations pending
the settlement of the steel strike.
The announcement over night Of
general extension of the strike order
caused some hesitancy at the outset
in the general market, but aside from
o sharp dip at the end OF the first
hour and again toward the close, the
tendency was distinctly upward
throughout. The final prices were
ebout the best for Atchison, St Paul,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific,
which accounted for the most active
dealings in the railroad division. Re
ports have been current for several
Gays past of fixed price at which
the United States Steel stocks would
not be allowed to break by the al
legged pool behind the stock. This
level was exceeded earlier in the
week and spectators generally were
interested in watching the opening Of
the stocks Wednesday morning. When
5000 shares of the common stock
came out on scale down to 39ss ana

the level for Wednesday was fixed at
39& and SO respectively. Profes-

forts to depress the stocks in the sub

clined to bid up the general list on
the theory that the backing to the

comparatively moderate limits. Some

A matter that Is causing the trust
officials some little uneasiness Is the
fact that the fu'Vace men have de

by non-union men. The manufactur
crs have already been notified Of this
and they display some concern, think
ing that perhaps the feelings OF the
men can be played upon to such an
extent as to cause them to lay down
their tools at a moments notice.
The Niles furnace of the United
States Steel corporation is running
full at present, but it Is manned by
union men. This fact gives rise to
the belief that 1t will be closed on
Saturday and a strike declared.

try to live likewise himself. and these
same impressions carried into the White
House and into the conduct of the Gov
eminent will be as healthy and optimistic
an influence over the whole of the United
States as could we'll be imagined.
That is why it all seems proper that
Theodore Roosevelt should be President
of the United States. Not only he him
self but his whole family stand for what
is most patriotic, healthy, and dgnified
in Anericanism, and they have stood for
this i'll their own normal way ever since
they grew old enough to stand for any
thing.
1t is encouraging to Americans all over
the country to see such a man at their
head. and such a family making the old
White House bright and cheerful. And
that is why, too, the whole Nation has
right to take the family, as well as its
head, into its friendShip-without any
cheap desire to hear lot of personalities
that are sacred, but with the wish to
make the family what it really is-the
first family in the land.
And when the time comes for them to
leave the White House, whether at the
end of three years or of seven, they will
return TO their own home just the same in
every respect, except for the passage of
the years-just as simple and dignifed,
just as typical in all their ways of what
is best in the United States.

At Baltimore, Phil delphia, and New

the soldiers of the Irish 9th felt for the

the many glorious campaigns through
which they had passed.
A company of the State Militia formed
the escort, and % civic associations join
ed in the procession. All the public build

stores displayed the National colors, and
were gayly decorated with bunting. A
salute was fired on Boston Common, by
Capt. Cummings's Battery of Light Artil-
lery, and at Faneuil Hall a splendid col
lation was served by the City of Boston.
In the afternoon and evening the regiment
was entertained in a becoming manner
by the generous and patriotic members Of

END OF THE WORLD.
Dire Predictions That Terrified
Our Grandfathers.
BY LILLIAN HERROD.


The warlike aspect of the world at the
present day awakes in the hearts of many
superstitiOus people the thought that the
end of the world is near at hand.
Although from time immemorial this
event has been predicted, and always
failed to materialize, yet, nothing daunted
at the non-fulfillment of these prophecies.
the credulous world awakes with new
vigOr at each announcement in the so far
vain hope of its final fufillment.
1t may be of interest to the reader to
recall from the annals OF the past some
of the periods when the world was sup
posed to end.
To the people of the United States, par
ticularly those living in New England,
there come recollections of tales concern
ing the Dark Day" told to them by
their parents or grandparents.
1t was most mysterious and unex-
plainable phenomenon. Never since the
cruciixion of Christ has such another day
been known. For several days previous
the air had smoky appearance, the sun
and moon an unusual redness. Early in
the morning the weather was cloudy, the
sun, just visible through the clouds, was
of a dark-red color.
Thunder was heard and showers fell
during the day. The water was thick,
dark, ana SOOty. On examination scum
was found, which, on being rubbed be-
tween the thumb and finger, resembled
the burnt ashes Of dead leaves. Clouds
arose from the springs, each lower than
the last, the upper strata being red, the
next green and blue, others indigo, while
the lower was white. A lighted torch
gave both dead or copper light. Dark
ness fell at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The barometer fell steadily. Fowls and
birds sought their roosts, and cows wan
dered homeward, thinking night was com
ing on Travellers sought shelter, schools
were closed, and fires burnt as at night.

felt that it was God showing his indigna-

category of pets and put him aGfong the
wild beasts, used to drink cider out of Il
tin pan, and casually lead two or three of
the young people about the lawns at the
end of his chin when they brought him
from his house, under the impression that
they were going to lead him. And IN the
midst of these pets and games and gath
ering together of all sorts of natural
history collections there is always the
serious, vigorous talk of things that are
worth talking about, even when you are
with children. .-..---
In the midst of the Fourth of July cele-
brations, when everybody is setting off
rockets and Roman candles, every one
who is near Theodore Roosevelt realizes
that there is something behind the noise
and the shining lights. 1t may not be
spoken of except when one or another
brings up a specific question for discus
sion, but it is there, and no one who has
taken part in such holiday celebrating
has missed it or failed to realize that
patriotism and pride in nationality are
still wonderfully fine treasures to possess.
That is what one takes away from the
Roosevelt household, and it was there
long before the President became so
prominently before the Nation. 1t was
there as soon as the home was made. 1t
was that which sent him to the Spanish
war, and which will carry him through
the hardest task and III the highest Office
of any public man of our country.
In fact, everything about the Oyster
Bay home, about Mrs. Roosevelt and the
children, as well as about the President
himself, seems to be typical of the best
and the most modern American life. In
these days we are all thinking more and
more of outdoor life; the walls and the
floors of the Roosevelt house, as well as
the bodies and the faces of the Roosevelt
children, show how much outdoor life has
meant to that family. We are all vigOr-
Gus people, pushing the world along, in

fairs, cXerting our intellects in the ad

Roosevelt library and the health and ami

awaiting him in that household speak of
the same intellectual vigor. No one comes
away from the home on Sycamore Hill
without better feeling of what the fami-
ly means in this world, without n higher
idei. of his own duties and responsible
ties, without some unspoken resolution to

of the 9th having expired, it broke camp
at daylight, and marched from Bottom

on the Pamunkey River, and on the 18th
took transports for Washington, where
it arrived Sunday, June II. June 10, the
