Jack Stacey was decidedly untom- fortable He wasn't the sort of boy who does smart" things aS a rule. Some friend" with defective sense of humor had slipped the thing into his hand that day: and, struck by a certain unfortunate resemblance be- tween the earicature and Miss Je- rushy. he had addressed II 10 her and mailed it on the spur of the moment As soon as it was mailed he stopped 10 think. That was the trouble with Jack. He acted first and thought aft erward. which frequently resulted in great discomfort and embarraSs ment 10 himself and his friends About eight o'clock that evening he threw his geography aside, and, going to the kitchen, donned rubber boots and coat.
 Why, Jack. not going out to- night, hope!" exclaimed his mother.

of the features of the evening was the lecture and recital of ancient and mod ern songs of Erin by Mrs. Helen O'Don- nell, contralto, of New York The dis course, although lengthy, was very in- teresting and should have en entire evening devoted to it if treated so ex- haustively.
 The speaker of the evening was Rev Herman D. Van Brockhiuzen, ol Pre- toria, Transvaal. In a brief speech Colonel Norris G. Osborn introduced the Boer representative, saying thelr minds were alike on the subject or a government of the people for the people and by the people.
 The Boer orator then went on to say that he was here to appeal to the Amer ican people for their neutrality In the war now raging between England anu his country He protested against America selling her horses and mules to England. He cited the deploraple coii- ditions of the women and children Ill South Africa, who, he said were rapluiS starving for the want ot tood' HIS condition of affairs he laid to the ooor of England. In great eloquence ne de- cried the argument that 1t was ail evaneelizing movement on the part or Great Britain. He depicted the sad ana ruined state of affairs now existing maintaining that everything was ruin, there not being dozen Iafnls now existing in the entire IrahsVaal' Their fighting from the start he snow ed most graphically, was only ln sell defense and continues but for one req son-that of the same freedom ana lp- erty which this great nation enJoys' He appealed, in the name of Christian ity, for this nation to help oflhg this war to q close, and at the conclusion or his address Colonel Osborn read resolu- tions to the effect that the audience as- eembled petition the congressmen ana senators from this state, as well as tne president of the United States, to take the initiative through means of arbitra- tion which will speedily bring the war to a close and give the people Of the Transvaal their full liberty It was also resolved to send copies of the res olutions to the representatives of this ktate and to President Roosevelt. When put to vote the decree was most decided by the shouts of Ayes"
 With each programme an envelope was distributed for the purpose of con tributions, which, Colonel Osborn stat ed. were only for the alleviation of the starving women and children. It was well-nigh midnight when the exercises closed.

port on the wool trade of the United States:
Wool Is dull. Demand this week has been
limited and even the inquiry for sample

tons sales are reported at 11Ql2c, which
means a landed cost here at which the
woods could not be sold today. The re-

has been consistently followed during. the
present speculative campaign of large ouy,

stock as an effective leader of the whole

Pacific as the favored stock. No new con-
sideratlon was advanced as a reason for
the buying, which carried the price up to

there was an active speculation In all parts

abundance of money seeking investment,
