New York, Aug 27.-The dealings in
stocks assumed proportions yesterday and
the course of l,ices was such that they
We're suggestive Of buzz market The
total transactions were approximately
10000 shares and they were in the main
well distributed. There appeared to be
an accumulation of buying orders over
Sunday in the hands of commission
houses that warranted the assumption
that dealers throughout the country are
beginning to evince an active, interest in
the stock market. Chicago was a con-
SpicuOus buyer of stocks, having come to
the conclusion apparently that Influences
in favor of higher prices predOminated
and that substantial interests are en-
gagged aggressiVeIy on the long side.
Foreign houses purchased a moderate
amount of stocks on balance. particularly
those of the anthrax coal ana the
transcontinental lines. The belief is gain
ing ground both here and in London that
important plans regarding the last named
group of railroad stocks are being ma
tured Southern Pacific which, according
to all accounts has been taken in hand
by prominent manipulators, was the
leader of the railway list in way of ac-
tivity and scored an advance OF IA points

Following the example of Germany
the French Government is about to es-
tabllsh a State pension system for old
and disabled workingmen. Like the
system founded by Bismarck, it is
based on compulsory saving on the
part of the workingmen themselves.
SO much for every week they are at
work is kept back by their employers
and turned over to the pension fund.
The State adds so much more, and
guarantees a certain pension for the
balance of his life to every workman
who reaches the age of retirement
(sixty-five) OF becomes disabled before.
The French Finance Minister states
the ultimate mount which the State
will contribute to the pension fund at
S33,000,000 a year. Assuming that the
workmen to whom old-age and disa-
bility pensions are assured contribute
the same amount, it win cost in all

nan in France from want.

Slow But InexorabIe Justice.

a charge of sextuple murder by pols'

In our own country Eugene Aram was

named Horne was executed for the
murder of his child in the eighteenth
