Girls Books.

Some very sensible remarks have
been made recently in literary jour
nal on the drivel that is too often set
before girls in the books specially writ
ten for them. There are one or two
writer's who understand girls and have
produced breezy stories for them which
they would not be ashamed for their
brothers to read, but the average girls
book is an insult to the intelligence,
ideals and sense of humor of the little
modern maiden, who, be it remem-
bered, has all the same interests as
her brothers.-Lady's Pictorial

OLD Times at The Capital.

In recalling the lively and pictur
esque incidents which the old timers
enjoyed in Washington one is moved
almost to tears over the commonplace
nature of his own times John Adams
used to battle in the Potomac every
morning at daylight because they had
no bathtub in the White House, and
no one ever pulled kodak on him
President Taylor used to walk about
the town and stop and chat with every
one he met, like a policeman. A recep
ton in the White House in these days
is relieved of monotony only by the
great crush of guests. who trample the
clothes off one another's backs. An
other president set up in the east room
a six hundred pound cheese and in
vited the multitude to come in and help
itself, which the multitude proceeded
to do.

Committee Nam les l.. II. Durand

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 1.-After an ami
mated discussion, lasting nearly three
hours Tuesday afternoon, the demo
cratic state central committee selected
L. Z. Durand, of Saginaw, as the party's
candidate for governor. The new NOM
ination was made necessary by the
withdrawal of Judge George H. Du-
rand, of Flint, brother of Tuesdays
nominee. Judge Durand was stricken
with paralysis five weeks ago and his
condition has remained such that all
thought Of his going through a cam
paign or filling the office of governor
had to be abandoned.
The fight Tuesday lay between the
gold democrats, who favored L. I. Du-
rand, and the silver leaders, who want
ed to nominate State Senator J. W.

DIDN'T KNOW PING-PONG.
Father TIL ought His Daughter Was
in Love with a Chinaman
by That Name.

The Oak Park Girl had just come home
from her first pin1-pong party. She had
never played the game before that evening.
When she entered the library her father
was folding up his newspaper, preparatory
to going to bed, relates the Chicago Chron-
lcle.
DO you know, papa, discovered tonight
that never really cared about anything be-
lore IN my life, she said by way Of lntroduc-
ton. i want to tell you about 1T.
"Yes?' said the old man, with rising In
lection on the word. He was interested,
perhaps even a little startled. His daugh-
ter>s face was serious.
Il have fallen in love with ping-pong.
WHAT" exclaimed pater famillas. His
d1smay now was unmistakable. just then
his wife entered the room. He turned lndlg-
nant eyes upon her.
GU are a nice woman!" he shouted at
her. What do you mean, madam, by bring
ing up your daughter the way you have
done. No, don't interrupt-it's matter
enough! Owing to you skillful management
our little girl has lost what sense she was
BORN with. She has fallen in love with a
Chinaman!"
Five minutes later the old gentleman was
apologzing both to his wife and his daugh-
ter. As he went off to bed, however, he
muttered under his breath:
"Plngpong, ping-pong! That's nice
name for camel"

Mayor of Detroit Receives Accept
Rnces of Invitation to Interstate
Conference on Coal Question.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 1.-The telegraph
&c invitations sent out by Mayor May
bury to governors of number of
states and the mayors of the principal
cities in the east, middle west and
northwest, asking them to send dele
cations TO participate in a national
conference on the coal strike, have met
with a great number of acceptances,
and the proposed conference bids fair
to be a tremendous gathering. A great
majority Of the message received eX-
pressed hearty sympathy with the con-
ference and promise to send dele
gates. A few refusals to participate
have been received, among the most
notable being from Gov. Murphy, of
New Jersey; Gov. Nash, of Ohio, and
Mayor Ashbridge, of Philadelphia.
In answer to the message from May
or Seth Low, of Greater New York,
asking for further particulars, Mayor
Maybury sent the following telegram:
conference is expected to take up coal
situation asst exists It date of meeting.
Then will discuss best and most practi-
cable means of obtaining that to which
we are fairly entitled. viz: coal sup
ply. The plan to be pursued to enforce
our demand must be governed by the
wisdom of the conference, and should
be such plan AS will be most effective

Wells, of st. Louis, saying he thought
it would be better to have the dele

SCARE IS OVER.
Secretary Shaw's Action Serves to
Brace Up the Wall Street
Stock Market.

New York, Oct. 1.-The stock market
which closed Monday utterly demon
allied as a result Of stringent none
tary conditions and other unfavora BILE
circumstances, made a sensational re-
covery Tuesday. The chief causes for
the complete reversal were the action
of Secretary Shaw in removing the re-
straint on bank reserves, and persist
ent reports from various quarters that
the coal strike had at last reached the
point where the negotiations for a set
Element were actually under way. For
this last rumor there appeared to be
little or no foundation, according to
the individual and collective state
ments of the leading operators made
after the regular weekly meeting.
Another influence for better prices
was the decline in call money rates,
though during the morning loans were
made as high as 10 per cent. A large
part Of the days loans was made at
around ten per cent, and the rate at
the close went down to two, but this
was really nominal, no money being
placed at that figure.
Opening prices were better all the
way from a fraction to five points.
Wide operations in which blocks of
1000, 5000 and 5000 shares changed
hands were numerous. The greatest
gains were in the Standard railway
shares, notably st. Paul, Louisville &
Nashville (Which bore the brunt of the
previous days pounding), Missouri Pa
cific, Union Pacific, the coalers and
number of specialties.
On the floor of the stock exchange
the greatest excitement and activ-
ity prevailed during the first hour.
Brokers on the short side were cover
ing with all possible speed, and the
bull faction was in absolute control
The list manifested a vacilla ting tend
ency soon after the first bulge, and
many of the active stocks whose in
itial gains had been largest, receded
from one to three points. The open
ing rate for call money was, - per cent.
but soon advanced to IS, creating great
confusion among those committed to
higher prices.
The most sensational operations de-
veloped in the afternoon on news from
Washington that the president and his
cabinet had taken steps to termina te
the coal strike. In spite of the, alb
sence of any confirmation the mar
ket seized upon this announcement.
and with the coal stocks in the lead
the entire list shot upward The mar
ket developed a buoyant tone in the
last hour, though operations were con-
fined largely to the coalers, which were
heavily traded in and closed at prac-
tically the best prices of the day. The
days operations were in excess of
100000 shares.
Secretary Shaw's visit to the street
and his talks with the leading bank
ing interests, helped in no small meas
ure to restore confidence. Local banks
loaned moderately.
