Something new in the hard rubber
line Is what is known as corrogated
speaking tube for telephone transmit
ters, the invention of Mr.. G. f. Ames,
126 North Summit ST. The device Is
intended to obviate the imperfectness
Of sound some times noticed in talk
ing over phone. The tube is 30
grooved inhide that it allows no echo,
and also conveys more perfect enun-
citation of words. Speaking Of 1t to
a reporter, Mr.. Ames said that several
of the transmitters are now in use In
Akron, and all receive high praise. AS
yet no arrangements have been made
for the manufacture of the article,
but it is probable that it will be made
by one of the local rubber concerns.
Mr.. Ames is at present working on
another addition to the list of tele-
phone conveniences which he says will
soon be on the market.

WAY UP ON A ROOF.
Mr.. Gibbons Didn't Expect Anybody
to Stand There Holding Flag.
A Man Who Wouldn't Climb a Pole For $40,
Discovered by Mr.. J. 7. Flower.

June IA is Flag Day, and Mr.. Glib
bons, of the Board of Education
wants due cognizance of such fact
taken by the janitors of the various
schools. BY motion presented by
him, and passed by the Board last
night, it becomes not only the patriotic
duty of all ianitors, but compulsory
duty as well, that on that day they
see to it personally that flag floats
from the top of every public school
building in this city.
But some of the schools have no
poles" suggested Mr.. j. T. Flower
This led to recommendation by
Mr.. Gibbons that a flag staff he i'm
mediately erected over every building
not already supplied with one. No
action was taken upon the recon-
mendation.

High school? 1t has no flag staff

On June ii, 1TT7, Congress adopted
the present style of flag for this coun.
try, and the day will be observed
among schools throughout this coun-
try.
MORE ABOUT FLAGS.
Mr.. j. Il. Flower has also had some
experience with the flag problem. He
WAS committee of one to see that
the schools had flags floating over
them on Memorial day, and he had
considerable difficulty with the job.
zone man wanted to charge me $40
for climbing a pole to put up flag
and it was only after a great deal of
hunting l could obtain man to do
the work, at ALL" said Mr.. Flower
THE job is regarded as an undersir-
able one even at So"
He suggested that the Board buy a
thousand feet of copper cable to be
used in hosting flags. The present
supply of ordinary cable is almost
/ Worn out. 1t was estimated by MIR.
Flower that $63 would buy the re-
qulred amount of copper cable. The
Board took no action upon the sugges-
tion.

In later letter he says "For about
four years have used Peruna in my

Many times dose or two of Peruna
taken in time will stop asickness, which,

church members had gathered about
the altar to partake of communion at

1t was found necessary to defer that

The semi-ofiicial but undoubtedly au-
thentic announcement that the Burling-

the moving factor In the stock market

Ring bull cliques and the confident pub
lie. During the morning hours there was
distinct tendency toward reaction
noticeable, and standard securities all
over the list went of from a point to two
or three points. The outlook seemed
good for day of declines. This cOndi-
ton was changed entirely by statement
from Mr.. Hill that he had secured the
Burlington for "a feeder from st. Louis
and Kansas City" There was little news

Treasury purchased one or two small
lots of bonds. but these matters probably
had no effect on the market. The fear
that the employees of the United States
Steel Corporation may strike had de-
pressing effect in the morning. but this
was also dispelled by the Burlington
story. The copper deal is an important
one, but il cannot be learned officially
that it has been accomplished yet.

The repeated recoyeries of the market
from its slight reactions, when the con-
servatiVe people are continually looking
for something serious in the way of a
break, has made the bears lose faith. II
seems to this contingent that the market
is never to go off. Some of the people
that were the most rampantly bearish
a month ago are now talking of a con-
tinuance of the advance all this year and
next. The closing of the Burlington deal
on a basis which to many seems almost
a ridicuously high price makes even the
best posted people almost willing to I've
lieve there is truth in all the widest sto-
ries of consultations. 1t is asked why,
if Mr.. Hill is willing to give 500 in 81
bonds for Burlington stock it should not
sell for 200 from now on and go out of
the market into the investment boxes en-
tirely. II is asked in the same way why
St. Paul should not so out of the market
at $50 and Rock Island at 40 and Penn

and the public is buying more and more
eagerly.

preferred sold as low as $685. and closed
at 9ii.. A general strike at this time
would probably wreck the bull market.
This the employees probably do not realize
and the magnates very certainly do realize.
1t will be interesting to watch the devel-
opments of the affair. 1t is almost as
necessary that no strike shall occur in
the works of the United States Steel
Corporation as it was that there should
be an end of the strike last autumn in
the anthracite coal mines. II is even
possible that Mr.. Morgan may consider
1t more important. His interests in the
present market are vast. The chances
seem to favor no strike. They also favor
higher prices for the Steel securities dur
ing the coming two months.

Nevertheless the market is dangerously
high, and the people that are doing most
to continue the boom know this better
than any others. Prices are far above

ings and prospects, even though these

can be no question. When the specula-

Burlington sold at 1885 yesterday after
noon, making an advance from 1878 for
a low price. 1t closed practically at the
top, with good buying until the last sale.
An advance to 200 is not unlikely, but
neither is STEADY decline from the OPEN
ing this morning. The stock is too high.
MIR. Hill could never pay the present price
for ii and hope to realize any profit on
the transaction. He could not pay the
prices that he has paid, much longer, and
make any profit, except by selling out at
a better figure, and II is exactly this that
he is doing now. If he does not sell out
all of his stock now he will sell the bonds
later. 1t is only by selling that he can
hope to escape a loss. Mr.. Hill is in the
present market to sell Conservative peo-
pie cannot afford to make any mistake
about this. The Burlington is not earn
ing penny over the 312 per cent interest
that is to be paid on the 500 in bonds

doubtful II even this fixed charge can be
earned in less buoyant times. But these
facts should not be construed as meaning
that it will be safe to go short of Burl-
ington Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Morgan are the
finest people that ever went into Wall

The facts regarding the copper deal,
as far as they have become public prop
erty are that holders of the stock of
Butte and Boston and Boston and Mon
tana have been invited to deposit their
securities with a New York firm, for the
purpose of attempting to consummate a
sale to the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany. on its face this does not mean,
of course that the deal is assured, but
some of the weIl-posted people in the
street are of the opinion that ii is rea-
sonably sure. They suggest that the pub
lie bid for stock hardly would be made
unless the insiders had already secured
controlling interest in the stock. There
is much bullish talk regarding Amalga-
mated, and the people that at par were
predicting rs for it are now saying that
il will go to $50 this week. The move
ment has reached its dangerous stage,
however. The high price yesterday was
1881 and there was a reaction from that
figure to 1855 at the close.
