wardrobe might well have been con-

the fashion of the last 60 years in ex-
istence. Another fancy Of Queen Vic

'If | should ever be called upon to

sergeant, Il would point at once to
her invariable rule of dressing up in
her best clothes when she goes out to
commit suicide. In my experience on
the force have had occasion to ham
die a good many suicides and after
ward investigate their personal affairs,
and in every instance | have found
that the poor unfortunates prepared
themselves for death by donning their
best bib and tucker. The majority
of the printed reports of suicides say
that the clothes OF the dead woman
were good or well made or elegant.
If the woman contemplating suicide
owns silk waist she wears it, Her
broadeloth skirt and silk petticoat nat
Urally go with this garment and she
selects her best shoes. / have
looked up the history of many Of these
respectfully clad suicides and have

the end with apparent tranquility. Her

 THE STOCK MARX E7.
Steel Goes Down-Sntisfact Over
 Holidays.

New York, July 3.-To-days stock
 market was little more than nominal. The volume of business was so small
 that little significance could have at
 tached to a wide price movement. But as matter of fact, the general list was
 almost inert and the movement of prices
 barely perceptible. The subject of most I vital interest on the exchange was
 whether it would be possible to get to-
 gether a quorum of the governors from l seaside and mountain to achieve the ] longed-for adjournment of the exchange
 over to Monday next When this was
 accomplished it was greeted with cheers l all through the Wall street district
 The banks expressed their determina- tion to curtail business activity as much as possible until Monday next and add ed their influence for stock exchange holiday.
 Most of the trading day was in United States Steel. That stock re- fiected clearly enough the disappont- ment of holders over the dividend, or rather over the wording of the dividend declaration. The omission of the word "quarterly" in connection with the 1 per cent. dividend on the common stock was alleged to throw doubt on the con- tinuity of the dividend rate thus estab- lished. The argument of the friends of the stock that room was thus left to in crease the rate as well as to decrease did not reassure the spectators, and they sold the stock freely. The pre- ferred suffered even more markedly, de- clining 33s from the top level. The com mon fell 17s from the best price. Both stocks seemed to be without aggressiVa | support
 The effort of belated borrowers to se- cure loans to carry over the four day | interval until Monday caused a lively | furry in money. As high as 20 per cent. was paid for call loans and con siderable liquidation was precipitated The last hour was, in fact, the most active of the day on the closing up of | accounts, and number of the leading | stocks were carried down a point or more. The movement in the steel stocks was the only one of real signifi- canoe. The disturbance in the money market was evidence of the delay in the return to the market of the money paid out in dividends and interest. In spite of the payment of government in- terest the sub-treasury has taken 9 smell sum from the market on balance this week. The sharp discount to which Chicago exchange has fallen is also ev- idence of the present in that market of heavy claims on New York. The ap" prehension was felt that the effect of q weak bank statement would have to be faced when trading was resumed on next Monday
 The bond market was dull and irreg-

TO A TROUBLESOME FLY.
Poem in the Journal and Courier in
 1844-The Annexation of Texas.

A Poem in the Journal and Courier in 1844-The Annexation of Texas. Our esteemed townsman and veteran of the civil war, Henry T. Mix, hands for republication this poetic effusion, taken from copy of the Jaurnal and l Courier of Tuesday, August 6. 1884:
 TO A TROUBLESOME FLY. l What! here again indomitable pest! Thou plagu'st me like Q supernatural
 sprite; Thou makest me the butt of all thy spite, | And bitest me and buzzests as in jest. Ten times I've closed my heavy lids in vain This early morn to court an hour of sleep; For thou-tormentor!- !-constantly doth keep Thy wffhizzing tones resounding through my brain, , Or lightest on my sons tire nose, and
 there Thou trimm'st thy wings and spak'st
 thy legs of hair; Ten times I've raised my hands in
 hast to smite, But thou art orr; and ere lay my head And fold mine arms in quiet on my bed Thou comst again-I feel thy tickling
 bite. As Uncle Toby says, "The world is
 wide Enough for thee and me" Then go,
 pray, And through this world do take some
 other way, And let us travel no more side by side. Co., live among the flowers-go any
 where; Or to the empty sugar-hogshead go, That standeth at the grocer's store be-
 low Go suit thy taste withanything that's
 there. There's his molasses measure; there's
 his cheese. And ham and hominy;-What! will
 nothing please Assumptions thing! then die! But
 no! I'll smite Thee not for thou perchance are young
 in days, And rather green as yet in this worlds ways; So live and suffer-age will set thee
 right.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1901-07-04

The same issue contains an editorial on the question of the annexation of Texas, then being discussed, and in the editorial is the following:
 The argument which has been urged with so much zeal by the advocates of immediate anneXation-that without Texas our sout hwestern frontier is de- fenceless and exposed to the hostile incursion of any nation with whom we may chance to be at war is one of the most absurd and unfounded in the whole catalogue. Between Louisiana and Texas long and continuous range of sWamps interposes a natural barrier which effectually prevents any inter- course between the two states. The only communication between New Or leans and Galveston is by water across the Cuff of Mexico, and squadron of English or French vessels could very easily disturb any such communication in time of war"
