Strain Too Much for Stock Brokers.

N r. Letter in Chicago Tribune.
 Numerous instances came to light to- day of Stock Exchange brokers who are giving away under the strain of the pro- tracted heavy market. This Is notably true of the so-called specialists" who handle enormous commission orders, largely from fellow members, in the stock to which they have attached themselves. Today several of these brokers admitted that they are now scarcely able to keep track of their orders, and seem to fear a physical collapse. Neither of the two specialists in United States Steel stock was on the floor today. James Boyd, who has been the specialist in Western Union for over twenty years, gave up that work at the beginning of the week
 In several instances specialists In other stocks have broken down physically and have been compelled to cease executing orders.
 One of these brokers said. 'No one seems to understand the burden which the specialists have had to carry. Since the last election they have been steadily at their posts, and on many days in that period they have been overwhelmed with orders. The rush of these orders was so great that many mistakes occurred. and these mistakes the specialists was bound to make good. As a result the overwork was done by many of them at loss, as the differences on mistakes often more than offset their commissions for the en- tire day"

MRS. STEVENS LECTURES
 TONIGHT ON TEMPERANCE

glimpsed the coffee table in the dining room, with exquisite decorations in white carnations and green ferns. About the lace cover was a tracery of ferns and the tapers in silver candelabras were green. An unique feature of the decoration was in the green and white candy straws, fashioning miniature log cabins and the old fashioned rail fences. These deco rated the tables and buffets and with the white and green color scheme were most suggestive of a picturesque little land scape.
 Miss Lillian Roden and Miss Irene Do- zier presided at the coffee urns, and de- licious buffet luncheon was served. In the reception hall puch was served by Mrs Alexander Maben Hobson, Mrs. A. T. Henley and Miss Marie Nelson.

THE MEETING TONIGHT.

a meeting OF citizens will be held under
the auspices Of the Chamber of Commerce
tonight TO discuss the question of extend
ing the corporate interests OF the city.
This is a question of vital Importance
and the meeting should be largely at
tended The speakers of the occasion are
Mr. c. Y. Meredith, who will speak in
favor Of extension, and Mr.. John c.
Easley. who Will take the opposite side.
After these sceeches have been made,
the meeting viii be thrown open to gen
ersl discussion. and we doubt not that
many interesting and instructive views
nro and con viii be presented. The city
limits should be extended Upon that
general proposition there are no TWO opln-
ions. But the question as TO the terms
ard conditions under witch the clteI-
sion should DE made IS quite another
proposition. Involved il this is the extern
sion of the city conveniences into the
outlying districts now within the cor
porate limits, as well as the provision to
be made for the territory 10 be taken in.
These We say, are questions for serious
consideration, and it is well for them to
lie discussed in open meeting.
1t is TO be hoped, therefore, that there
win be a full attendance at the meeting
10 be held tonight, and that citizens gen
orally Will give expression to their views.
