a block of 100 shares of Metropolitan
Bank stock was purchased recently, out
side the local exchange, for $500. The reg
ular bid now apparently is 500. The ad-
vance in the price of the stock has been
the most rapid ever made by any securi-
ty on the local exchange. All the bank
stocks are selling at their top prices.
Bank of Washington is 40 bid, 425 asked,
and AS has been bid for it. Central is
225 bid. and Farmers and Mechanics is
Z}5 bid. Columbia has advanced to $50
bid, and Traders to 135 bid.

Sense of Touch In Surgery.

There has been of late more or less
discussion on the use of antiseptio
gloves. These articles are strongly OBJ
jected to, however, by experienced sur
geons, who claim that the surgeon ac-
quires sense of touch that is OF very
great value to him in performing dell
cate and complicated operations 80
acute does this become that even the
extent of disease may almost be deter
mined by it. They believe that IL is
possible to exercise sufficient care IN the
washing of hands and the application
of antiseptics to make such gloves
wholly unnecessary Be this as it may,
the best surgeons are very reluctant to
adopt anything that interferes with the
delicacy of handling, which is their
chief pride and upon which to great
extent the safety Of the patient depends

The RIack Cat.

The famous "Black Cat cabaret in
Paris is in process of being shut up and
sold out and its curious decorations
scattered to the four winds, upon which
the Boston Herald says:
The name Chat Noir was given. to
the cabaret because this worthy Bohe-
milan, at the end of his resources caus-
ed his favorite black cat to be cooked as
a succulent "fricassee'' Of rabbit with
plenty of onions. At the end OF the des-
sert, which consisted of few nuts and
with his abominable bass voice, began
to sing requiem about Bib, one OF the
three cats which had been killed to feed
himself and his friends Babette duly
followed Bib, but the last one. called
Noireau, the finest tomcat on Montmar-
tire, he did not sacrifice. AS the story
goes, it was the fat check OF an artless
Yankee that saved the cat In graft
tude Sails hired larger shop and
adorned it with the poster sketches
which made him a success AS every
one knows it became the fashion for
other eccentric personages in Paris art
life to add their mite to the places dec
