Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L. Mc-
 Lean & Co.
 New York, Aug. 4.-After a compara- lively firm opening to-day profit taking by the professional element occurred, followed by good buying and with the market well supported. The very fact that instead of declines inviting liqui- dation the exact reverse now occurs is one of the strongest features to the present situation.
 All reports from the business world continue decidedly encouraging. also of the weather conditions throughout the west assuring great crops. It seems to be the general opinion among best post ed operators that genuine bull mar ket is sure to take place during August and all plans are now apparently shap- ing in that direction.
 Money remains comparat lively easy. Stocks are in the hands of the moneyed interests and cannot be dislodged by or dinary methods.
 On any further reaction we strongly advise the purchase of Atchison, South ern Pacific, Union Pacific or any of the Gould stocks, particularly should the market work a little lower tomorrow morning. In all probability there will be a good rally later in the day, or Wednesday at furthest.

such a manner as to secure patients in both races and to render her one of the acknowledged leaders in her city among the devotees of medical surgery. Being woman of thoroughness she was early convinced that she was handicapped without the aid of skilled nurses at her command, and, therefore, set about to prepare them. There is no scarcity of material in this race, nor any lack of eagerness. This fact was demonstrated by the numerous applications to enter this first class under Dr. M. A. Evans training. This formed and with the as- sistance of several physicians and only so much advantage as could be had with her own patients in her residence, this training school sprang into exist ence.
 The medical men of Columbia hailed with delight this little enterprise and as soon as this class was sufficiently trained with their opportunities, they were employed in some of the best fam files of the city and were well paid for their services. The doctors residence was pressed into services and most of the time all the available space was utilized for the accommodation of pa- tients. It must be remembered that Co., lumbia has no hospital or sanitarium where colored people could be received and treated, notwithstanding the fact that there are sixteen thousand negroes in the city.
 There came pressing need for larger quarters, proven by the daily number of patients turned away for lack of room. Inspired by the desire to bless suffering humanity, to better fit the class for their life work and to carry out her original ideas, pr. Evans ventured to secure a larger building, and, having succeeded in leasing a place, nurses, pa- tients and equipments were forthwith moved out and the work began to move on with brighter prospects.
 The interest," of the public has been largely aroused by many of the most intelligent men and women. They have rallied to the support of their leader, and, while the new hospital has been opened only a few months, they have already received and treated many pa tients. Many persons are in sympathy with the scheme and send out hospital necessities.
 This enterprise has in it the elements of success. It should appeal strongly to all citizens, and past experiences indi- cate that the white people of this city will do as they ever have done, give their encouragement to any worthy work begun and operated properly Columbia Letter to the Charleston News and Courier.

HOW EDISON WAS CAUGHT.

Smart Young Man With a Subpoena
 When the Automobile Broke Down.
 The New York Photograph Company has been trying for some time to get MT. Edison on the stand, but could not subpoena him. Last week, as the story is told by the New York Tribune. the company put several subpoenas in the hands of special men, with instruc- tions to be particularly vigilant, as MT. Edison was wanted for the hearing on Friday. One of these subpoenas was given to James L. Andem, Jr., who knew Mr. Edison by sight. Young Mir. Andem tried to get to the inventor once or twice, but could not. Andem was standing in front of 8 relatives house in Bloomfield, on Monday, when he saw an automobile come whizzing along. As it approached he noticed the driver work the levers suddenly. The machine veered and came to sud- den stop, and the driver and another man got out and began to investigate. Andem recognized Mr. Edison. Step- ping up to him, he asked. "Is this MT. Edison?"
 Speak up: I'm a little deaf" said MT. Edison, holding his hand to his ear in trumpet fashion
 Are you MT. Edison?" Anden shouted
 "Yes, yes. I'm Mr. Edison What can do for you?" asked MT. Edison.
 Just take this subpoena" said An dem, thrusting it into his hand.
 MT. Edison took the paper, and when he saw what it was he laughed.
 "Young man, said he, T like the up and doing style of young men. like the enterprise of a young man who can be on the spot to serve sub poena just where his victims auto- mobile breaks down. What do you get out of this as fees?'
 "Two dollars and thirty cents," said Andem.
 pay you now," said MT. Edison, who had nothing smaller than a $5 bill.
 Andem got his money, together with a hearty handshake from the inventor.
 The New York Monograph Company alleges in its complaint that Mir. Edi- son, in consideration of S225,000 con- tracted several years ago to refrain from selling certain photographs and attachments in this state during the life of the plaintiffs contract. The company asserts that there has been a breach of contract, and asks for damages.

AN INGENIOUS swINDLER.

A well-known jeweler describes the following ingenious fraud of which he was himself the victim:
 A smart man came into my shop the other day and said: T have a comnais- sion from sister in York, who is about to be married, to buy some plate for her." Then he selected about hun dred pounds worth of goods and said: ''Just send them round to my shop in Fleet street at twelve o'clock" naming well-known establishment.
 The goods were sent by a clerk, who found the customer apparently engaged in showing carpets, and perfectly at home. He recognized the clerk--''Ah! ]! just step this way and will give you a check" He went with a clerk to a desk, drew check and took the goods. He appeared to be so perfectly at home that the clerk had not the slightest sus- picion.
 Of course the check was worthless, and we found that he had secured the desk privilege at the shop by pretending that he was buying a large stock of carpets, among other purchases, in the city. He swindled five jewellers in Lon- don and others in other cities.-Edin- burgh Scotsman.

It is said also that the road is every day receiv- ing a great number of applications for work from men out of the city.
