aged at The Outlook.

aged at The Outlook.
The recent gift of S25. 900 to St. Johns
College as the basis for the creation of
an endowment fund, has very much en-
couraged the friends and alumni to take
hold of the matter with enthusiasm so as
to place this venerable college in posi-
tion OF independence and usefulness which
It has never before enjoyed.
Not only is St. Johns one of the oldest
educational institutions in America and
connected with the State by many cher
ished historical associations, but il has
done splendid work during its long life
and can point to numbers OF sons whose
names have enhanced the reputation of
the State and nation, and numbers of
others who in more modest fashion have
contributed to the elevation and pros
peritY OF the communities in which they
reside.
Already 81. 600 in addition to the
amount named above has been subscrib-
ed in this city. and it is anticipated that
a liberal gift to increase the fund will be
also obtained from friends and alumni of
Baltimore. Committees are taking up
the work in the various counties OF the
State, and it is confidently expected that
it will not be long before sum of at
least 500 900 shall have been received.

The work in these grades received
an unexpected interruption with the

We have had to do some hard work, toe
for the four fundamental operations oil
| Arithmetic have to be mastered here.
This may seem easy to those who have
already learned them but for us there
are some veritable "Sloughs of de-
spond" before one can successfully
work in subtraction and division. The
multiplication table has yenatious
habit of deserving us at critical points
in our work but we strive over and over
again to make them and hope
sometime tosacceed. In our language
work we have written stories. invita-
tions and letters. A few rulss tor
punctuation and correct use of words
have been learned, also how to use q
! dictionary. Geography being a new
subject in the fourth grade we have
especially enjoyed it. The various
forms of land and water have beer
studied and pointed out upon the maps
also the continents and oceans. TIL,
shape and size of the earth have beer
discussed, its motions and some climatic
conditions. These subjects compris,
the most of our work in this branch.

GREATER NEW YORK DEMOCRACY
Meeting of Ogden Commfttee-PIat-
form Adopted-Tammany Denounced

New York, May 20.-The Ogden COM
mittee of the Greater New York de-
mocracy met tonight at Cooper Union.
The speeches were directed against
Tammany Hall. A platform was
adopted, the opening paragraph read
ing:
The Greater New York democracy
stands. first and foremost for demo-
cratic principles, pure and undefiled;
for economy, honestly and simplicity
in the administration of public bust
ness and for the protection of the dem
ocratic masses against public eXtrava-
gance, public plumber, official corrup-
ton and boss rule"
Following this is a lengthy denuncia-
ton of the present city government
and Tammany Hall is accused of bring
ing what is termed a carnival of
crime and corruption"
The finances of the city are discussed
and said to be in bad shape. The may
or's holding of ice company stock is
referred to, as is Comptroller Colers
arraignment of city officials for New
York's financial condition.
The concluding paragraph of the plat
form invites the democrats Of the city
to enroll their names in the organiza-
ton in every assembly district to
drive the despoilers out of power"

New York Stock Market

New York, May 22-The stock mar
ket fell still further into apathy today
and was only relieved from seni-stag-
nation by the movement in the Erie
stocks. Considering the present indif-
ference OF the speculative public TO the
market. the volume OF transactions in
Erie must be accepted as significant.
The professional traders, al a loss to
secure ever a fractional profit on a turn
in the market. fiocked TO the Erie crowd
as the movement progressed and d II
their speculative operations TO the
other buying of the stock. The opinion,
however. gained force on the exchange
that the movement marked a resump-
ton of operations for the extension Of
influence and control OF existing rail-
road systems. The buying was a.trib-
uted TO Wabash interests and there
were sundry circumstances which orer-
ed some confederation.
Statements were published this
morning to the effect that a controlling
interest had been secured in Lacka-
wanna in order to afford an outlet to
the Seaboard for the and the
Gould southwestern system. This EVIL
IDENTIFY represented an effort to account
for the recent strength of Wabash and
its southwestern affiliations in face or
the disappointment over the non-decfa-
ration of a dividend on Missouri Pa
cific.
1t has been stated with particular
ity for several days past that the buy
ing of Toledo, St. Louis and Western
stocks was for Vanderbilt account n
it was claimed today that the control
had passed. 1t is to he considered that
these roads run over closely related
territory and the activity in their
stocks favors the presumption that the
problem OF their future relations and
control is being worked out.
The strength of Chicago. Indianapolis
and Louisville and of the Chicago
Greatwestern stocks may have had a
bearing on the same problem. The
strength of the bituminous coal carry
ing roads was directly attributed to the
declaration of a dividend of liz per
cent. on the common stock Of Hooking
Valley. the first in its history.
The Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks,
Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake
and Ohio all moved upward in sympa-
thy. The strength of the Readings was
called in sympathy with Erie in It's
character as an anthracite carrier, but
Erie was the only one of the group TO
maintain it's advance.
The bond market was not very active
but showed some strength. Total sales.
par value were 81. 450, 900. United States
new As declined II per cent. on the last
call. The total sales Of stocks today
were 7S3 500 shares.

Cotton Futures

New York, May 22.-Uncertainty and
hesitation kept the early cotton market
in a very narrow rut, but before the
close bearish overtures and almost total
absence of speculative support resulted
in a serious break in prices. The mar
ket opened steady, unchanged to 3
points higher and was nervous all the
first hour owing to semi-sensational re-
ports bearing on the July deal and to
ir~regularity in the English and south
ern Covering Of summer
months short sales held prices well.
July in fact at times showing a very
firm front; but by midday cotton pur-
chases on the belief that yesterdays
bulge would be repeated on a much
larger scale, came out freely. Selling
for foreign and southern accounts help
ed to depress the market, while greatly
improved crop and weather news acted
as a special factor against new crop
options. Liverpool opened lower, later
showed marked evidence Of strength,
but before the close lost a portion again
in near months, while far months be-
came weak and irregular. The forecast
for clear weather over the belt and es-
Inmates for well sustained receipts
prompted selling for both accounts in
h afternoon. Business picked up
somewhat on the decline though at best
professional operations comprised the
bulk OF trade. July sank to 100, with
the other months displaying decided
weakness. As the market eased of the
courage of bears returned in proportion
and buying orders fell off steadily.
Claims that the government acreage es-
innate Of next week would be a big
bear argument were made much OF or
h decline. The market was finally
steady with prices 4 to 10 points lower.
