ST. LOUIS ROADS ACTIVE.
Frisco and Rock Island Advanced
by Leaps and Bounds.
REPURLIc sPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. July 2~s.-Sensational features
again marked to-day's session of the Stock
Exchange Most notable were the leaps Of
st. LOUIS and San Francisco and Rock Is
land by scoring new high records.
A somewhat remarkable incident attend
ing the rise of Frisco common and second
preferred was that in the former the ad-
vance Of IA points was so rapid that the
latter seemed to be forgotten, so that the
common stock for a time sold x Of a point
higher than the second preferred.
Rock Island advanced to-day TO 20E, a
single block Of 5000 shares changing hands
at 200 fat.
Corroboration- Of the reports about the
terms of the substitution plan, by which
present holders Of shares of a par value OF
$lM will receive securities OF a par value of
$275. was the assigned reason for the ad-
vance, although in some quarters ii was
said that the Simultaneous advance of Fris-
CO and Rock Island would give color to the
report current for a day or two in Wall
street that It IS the st. Louis and San
Francisco for which Rock Island is nego-
tiattng for control. =
No oticiai confirmation of this alleged
deal was obtainable, and It is not credited
IN well-informed banking circles.

NEW PING PONG RULE.

From London, where ping pong is
played seriously under the guidance
of such an august body as 'The Ma
tional Ping pong Association" comes
news that another rule has been added
to a list of harassing laws, many of
which the light-hearted American ping
ponger is wont to disregard. 1t is
embodied in the following cable dis
patch which appeared recently;
London.-The National Ping-pong
Association is abol-> to alter it's rules
radically as regards kervice. According
to the changed rule the server shall
play the ball on to his own court, max
ing it bounce once thereon and thence
over the net to his opponents court. 1t
is expected that this will obviate the
difficulties which umpires have expe-
rienced in deciding whether a particu-
lar service is irregular. 1t will also
put a check on fast service in many
instances unplayable. 49,,
The new service, it is said, is not
easy to master, and presents an entire
ly unique phase of the game. 1t does
away with the fast service, which is
the main feature in the game of good
players and often the decisive point in
a match between experts.

erning body of the order, having no one
special charity as its object, each cir
Gle thus being enabled to share in the
work of all the members. An. invita-
ton to join will be extended to those
chapters not already in the Union, the
present officers presiding until the jan
uary meeting, when, according to rul-
ing, the president and recording secre-
tary will be elected.
One of the laws under which the So
ciety is formed declares that a chapter
must consist of fifty or more members
and that each chapter must have it's
special work. The ten bands at pres
ent in the Union have decided to unite
into chapter, having for it's object
the maintenance of the day nursery.
1T was formed yesterday afternoon I'M
der the title of the Julia Mcleod Chap

gained the Union, presided at the first
meeting, and has always been it's
honorary president. 1t was Mrs. Nc
Leod who conceived the idea of the
noble charity which has ever since
been the object of the Union, and it
was largely through her inspirat ton
that it grew so quickly from it's humble
beginning to the present Day Nursery
and Home of the Kings Daughters"
1t is felt that the reorganization of
the Union and it's increase by those
bands which have not hitherto belong
ed to it, will do much to augment it's

Virginia Drew Prescott gives a spirited

this difficult role. Mr.. Alexander
Frank gives a very intelligent enact

character of Lucille, while there was
very little to it, Miss Jane Carew. a
very petite and pleasing actress, gets
all any one could out of the part.

the roles are all intelligently rendered,

As Old Age CreepS On
Men and Women Can Keep
Themselves Hale, Vigorous
and Happy by Using
PainG's Celery Compound.

The human system in old age must
have a sufficient store of nervous ener-
gy, and rich, nourishing blood, so that
the liver and kidneys may be kept in
perfect action, and the body free from
pain. Paine's Celery Compound is the
true invigorator when old age creeps on
and the vital powers commence to fail
Paine's Celery Compound gives the
needed stimulus to digestion and assim-
ilation that the system requires; IL
maintains a regular supply of pure
blood, and removes such troubles as
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous weak
ness, heart palpitation, liver complaint
and digestive disturbances, that make
the lives of old people miserable. Rev.
John Rice, Scotch Grove, Ia, says:
My wife and have used two bottles
of Paine's Celery Compound with great
advantage to our general health. 1t
cured her rheumatism and proved a
good regulator of the system in general
and a tonic for the nerves. In my own
case l have found it cure for kidney
trouble arising from. old age, as ! am
now in my 18th year, In this trouble
it has given me almost instant relief"

The storm that night before last was
reported in North Florida and moving
in the direction of Savannah. did not
strike here, and, in fact, seems to have
petered out without moving far from
its place of operations when reported,
for yesterday morning it was still in
? North Florida and South Georgia, but
had lost so much of its energy that the
Weather Bureau attached no further
Importance to it and SO failed to re-
port it last night.
Despite the heavy rainfall of Satur-
day night and Sunday another AT of
an inch fell Sunday night and early
yesterday morning so that now the
month, to date. shows an excess of
1.45 inches, while the shortage of the
year, so far. has been reduced to TAB
inches.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was SO degrees. and the minimum. IS.
giving mean of rs which is 10 above

Mrs. Staff Capt. Widgery, who has

Widgery, to take charge of the Army

the interest of the work here:
Special services are being held at the

Mrs, Widgery is an officer of twenty
years experience in the Army, and mas

aged to be arrested in South America
and wore a prison uniform.
Mrs. Widgery is an interesting speak

explained. Thursday at Trinity
Church she will relate her experience
as pioneer officer in South America,
and her prison experience. This lee
ture will be given in prison uniform.
The SaiN alton Army believes that
many times souls are saved by first
saving bodies and that many souls are
lost because the bodies are neglected
to be provided for, but often its officers
are utterly unable to give to those who
come t. them for help because their
means are limited and they feel that
no city would allow this if only the
work were understood by the people.

wide border of stitched, ''velours an

brown. velveteen edges the skirt, and
grows wider toward the back, while
stitched points of cloth fall over it from
the top. The coat resembles a fatigue

and outer pockets of cloth, with fly
