Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-Pennsylvania
railroad officials to-day denied the pub

compelled to allow the Wabash COM

Company, it was stated, has held a
controlling interest in the Norfolk and

the Gould interests had been seeking

AS to the Wabash railroad entering

OFFERED CONF RT
TO STOCK JOBBERS.
How Kitchener'S Proclamation
Was Received in London.
Is A HOPEFUL SPIRIT
APPREHENSION IS FELT RE-
GARDING THE STEEL STRIKE.

London, Aug. 11--LOrd KitcheneT's
proclamation at Pretoria had a com
fOrting effect last week on the stock
exchange. Whether the more hopeful
spirit with which it was received was
due to sentiment or to well grounded
reason, the future must determine, but
the immediate effect was to improve
prices some what Another hopeful fac
tor was decidedly easy money. Not
only in London. but in New York and
on the continent sid this condition pre-
vail, and on the continent the principal
bourse rates were all under ~ per
cent.
Enough gold is afoat and coming
into provinces to raise the reserve of
the Bank OF England well over E25.-
100000. New York exchange was high,
and is likely TO remain So Naturally
there is some caution in discount cir
cles in view of New Yorks probable de
mand for gold for the autumn crop
movements, but it is not believed that
this viii be sufficient TO raise London
rates materially. The week Witnessed
the unusual spectacle of an improve
ment in home rails and decline in
Americans. This arose, on one hand,
from renewed apprehension regarding
the steel strike, while on the other the
fact that British railroad shares de
scended to about the lowest possible
ugureS, was due TO reaction
The outlook for home traffic is eX-
ceedingly gloomy The half-yearly
statements of the railway companies
are all in. and they show q serious fall
ing off in the ErOss receipts in almost
every case while the tremendously in
creased working cost materially re-
duces dividends. The managers confess
that they see no prospect of improve
ment for years ahead, and there IS
general cry for retrenchment- There
is a wide field for Improvement in the
equipment of both freight and passen-
ger departments, and this fact, COM
bined with the present low price of
stocks. seems to offer a favorable open
ing for American enterprise to do for
the steam roads what is already doing
for the tTamWay lines.
So far as the steel strike is concerned
there is wide divergence of opinion with
reference to the relative strength OF
the men and the employers There is
also a plentiful supply of misinfOrma-
ton as to the American labor situation
in general The only unanimity Of be-
lief is in the conviction that the strike
is certain to have a disastrous effect
upon industrial interests. Consequent
" the outlook for business in the
American section of the stock exchange
is not promising.

JUDGE WAS PERSUADED.
Artist Davenport Induced the Court
to Pose.


Judge William 3. Stevens Of Massa-
chusetts, who came into Unsought
prominence by excluding from the
court room during the FOsburgh man
slaughter trial the representatives of
certain New York newspapers, had an
experience with Homer Davenport,
who was dispatched by his paper to
the scene of the trial.
Davenport arrived in PittsfieId in
the early afternoon. and Immediately
sought by strategy to gain admission
where his cOnfreres had been barred.
But it was not to be. He discovered to
his dismay that il is no easy task to
fool the courts of Massachusetts,, but
rs he was due in New York that same
night, and must get d good view of
the judge in the meantime, something
had to be done.
Judge Stevens had quarters in the
M2DleWOOd hotel and thitheT hied the
cartOonist. He sent mp his card, and
was received very affably by the dis
tinguished jurist, who desired to know
in what way it might be his pleasure
to serve him.
at is my pleasure to get a sketch of
your honor" said Homer, "and it would
expedite matters greatly and oblige
me much if you would kindly pose
while the job is being done"
"Oh. no. moi" said. the Judge, throw
ing I'D his hands. II couldn't have any
thing like that. It's entirely out Of the
question I'm much obliged to you
Mr.. Davenport, but have no ambition

characteristic way. Just as YOU like.
But you see I was sent down here by

Sixth avenue, made a round of the

of someone to write him "a few lines

riage was a good thing. despite the
fact that his present and fourth wife
had seemingly deserted him Il love

I would like TO convey my sentiments
for her in a poem on Christian lines.
as this would do more to bring her
back, I believe, than all I could say
otherwise
Shortly after Adams married his
present wife a man whom she called
Uncle Charley came and made his
home with them. Mrs. Adams af-
lection for her uncle aroused the sus-
picions of Adams, but his wife told
him when he demonstrated with her
for her display of affection that she
acted so only because she expected
TO get her uncle's money when he died.
The prospect of inheriting a legacy
from the uncle did much to allay
Adams suspicious and matters moved
henceforth more smoothly in the
Adams household.
Last Saturday morning when leav-
ing for his work Adams wife kissed
him goodbye and told him she hoped
If they were ever separated she would
meet him IN heaven. When he re-
turned at noon for dinner his wife had
apparently left for the celestial home

fact were all his belongings, even his
clothes. There were no signs OF Mrs.

has not set eyes on either of them
since and is of the opinion that his
better half has gone on a trip to Mis-
souri, in company with her uncle"
Monday Adams discovered where his
wife had stored their furniture, but
he has not yet located his wearing
apparel and this he is anxious to DO.
as he was left with only the working
clothes he had on when Mrs Adams
left home. Adams fourth venture in
matrimony occurred last December.
He lays all the blame for his wife's
disappearance at the door Of Uncle
Charley and if he found the latter he
would greet him with something more
aggressive than a poem written on
Christian lines
