Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Feb. s-There was an ele-
ment of professional operators on the
stock exchange who worked for a rally
today. on the theory that yesterday sell
ing was largely due 10 operations for the
port OF the ketshrdluetacmfwypp
bear. account. and that the vigorous sup
port Of the market would drive these
bears 10 cover. The maneuver was en-
firaly without success, especially in the
carly dealings. bur all of the market
strength was confined 10 a very few
st0 ks and was not long maintained.
Business fell away 10 the point Of semi
stag alton at times during the day,
showing no signs OF the recent large
general demand Of the operations b.
large banking and financial interests.

Tor a long time, Obviously none but
professional operators were interested TO

favorable considerations that could be

Il was proposed TO divide the cash assets

manufs ctured it, and ought to know His
dictum has. however. been extensively
verified for millions Of people who have
laughed over it: and its travels are not
yet done It is stopping at the Lyceum
theater this week, the first performance
I last evening having been Witnessed by all

date, and some over.
/ It is an excellent company playing this
/ delightful farce comedy. Charles Cowles
/ as "a stranger" gives a character study
Of humorous type that Is consistent and
! thoroughly artistic. II is rarely that a
strictly low comedy role is given such q
really superior Characterization His per
Torrance is worth serious attention for
its cleverness in that respect, while it IS
funny enough to wiring laughter from an
oyster. Barry Maxwell as "a league
baseball umpire" was as successful in
provoking laughter as Mr. Cowles- Frank
c. Young was capital as the station
agent, and the other male roles were
cleverly taken. Nettie De Coursey made
a handsome and chic waitress at the
lunch counter, and her songs and spec
ialties were enthusiastically received.

THE CORONATION CHAIR.
The Most Historic Dit of Furniture
In England.

The coronation chair is one OF the most
interesting pieces of historic furniture
that exists; as a venerable witness in
the long history OF England its value can
nos be overestimated as a work of art,
made by order of King Edward / to en-
close the stone from Scone its importance
is equally great. What was the fate that
befell this chair under the sympathetic
charge of the officials?
Mature reflection convinced these gem
tlemen that ii did not look sufficiently
smart" and no doubt had it been placed,
grey with age and history on the bath

with the gimcrack brass railings from st.

and yet eloquent witness against modern

The chair was placed IN the hands of the

the unprotected mosaic pavement OF Alb

ancient gesso ornamentation. Into these
surfaces Mr.. Wright, the clerk of works
of the Abbey, found men driving ''t1cks"

very properly protested.

respect to the restoration OF the chair,
he said that certain missing portions

The missing portions are some parts Of

artistic value. II the chair had been de-

BREAK IN PARTY LINES.
Philippine ariff Bill in the House VIII
Be the Lause of Ii.

Washington, Dec. 16.-There will be
. break in party lines on both sides Of
the house over tine Philippine tariff
bill. Mr.. Mccall (Mass.), the Repub-
hcan member Of the ways and means
committee who opposed the Porto
Rican bill DUNG LIE last congress,
will speak against the measure and
will be supported in his dissent from
his Republican colleagues by Mr.. Lit
tlefield (Me) and perhaps several
other Republicans who opposed the
Porto Rican bill and who hold that a
similar issue is presented at this time
On the Democratic side Mr.. Robert
son Oa.), a member of the ways and
means committee, will support the
bill, and the remainder of the Louis
lana delegation will do likewise. Rep
resenting the cane sugar interests of
their state they are opposed to con-
cessions on sugar duties either from
the Philippines or elsewhere. The
general belleI is that the bill will Sc.
cure as many Democratic votes as it
will lose on the Republican side, and
the majority in it's favor when it is
placed upon It's final passage will be
about the Republican majority in the
house,
