NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The action OF the
market was similar TO that of yesterday
and the day before. The pools were at
work with their favorites. the Intention
being to mark them slowly higher. Balti-
more & Ohio was the feature. and made
an advance of two points in the first hour.
While Baltimore & Ohio was put up there
were a number of other issues sold by the
pools. Norfolk & Western was the stock
in which the most trading was done, and
suffered from heavy realizing. After the
publication of the bank statement, which
proved to be much better than expected,
the action OF the market continued TO show
heavy realizing, especially for Baltimore
az Ohio, which lost all the mornings gains.
The traders, as a rule, follow the actions
of the pool operators, and sell stocks when
realizing is apparent. To-day being the
close of the week. the traders, as a rule,
closed their commitments on the long side,
which made the market look a little heavy
at the end. There is nothing further given
out regarding the Union Pacific-St. Paul
alliance. Both stocks continued TO be
steadily taken, Notwithstanding the sharp
advances they have had since last Mon
days heavy depressions.

A Disappearing Baby.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In Dayton, Ohio, last week stock COM
pany was presenting a melodrama called
mot Guilty" The action of the play
hinges on the kidnapping Of a baby and
the infant child of a member of the COM
pany has been playing that important part.
At a matinee, however, the baby. caring
not for the commands Of the stage man.
ager and having been set down in the
wings, went on an exploring expedition,
and when the kidnapping scene was to oc-
cur the baby was nowhere to be found.
The actors and actresses were frantic, as
the failure of the kidnapping act would
ruin the whole performance. The deplor-
able state OF affairs was communicated to
Manager E. A. Schiller. who, realizing the
seriousness Of the situation, ran into the
baby's play room in the theater building.
grabbed the first baby he could find. and
hustled 1t off to the stage to be kidnapped.
The infants mother was In the audience
and she at once recognized her child and
set up fearful uproar, begging the people
around her to save 1t from such a horrible
fate. Finally the frantic mother was quiet-
ed, the babe was restored to her and the
performance, which but for this act would
have proved fiat failure, moved on
scarcely without interruption. although
there was more realism In the scene thar
had been hoped for by the playwright and
playfolk.

selling the OIL has required capital figured
in millions In order to conduct 1t economi-
cally and successfully. and the result Is
that big companies have done the business.
But in the case of the production Of the
crude oil the experience has been very diff
ferent. Thousands of men operate independ-
emily in Pennsylvania today in producing
oil. The business is rendered especially at
tractive to the man OF a speculative mind
A single well might make fortune, though
the production as a whole would give only
a good interest on the capital invested:
The possibility of striking the unusual well
has been a strong incentive to activity at
all times. and any increase in the price or
the crude has made the smallest wells
profitable. The question is whether these
conditions will not In the future be repeated
In the Texas field as they are actually ope-
rating today.
1t is quite likely that during the next few
months the coal barons Of Pennsylvania wiii
discover that they have a natural competl-
tor in the oil of Texas that will indicate the
wisdom of keeping mines in operation ana
checking the use of oil by placing coal on
the market at reasonable prices.

SUGGESTS COMPETITION.
Revolver Match Between Police Of
Baltimore and Washington.

Major Sylvester has addressed commu-
nication to Marshal of Police Farnan Of the
Baltimore police department, suggesting a
series of competitive revolver matches be-
tween members of the police departments
Of Washington and Baltimore. This Is a
plan which, If adopted, 1t is believed will
increase the efficiency Of the members in
handling a revolver.
The members of the police department are
required to indulge in target practice at
stated times. and the idea Of being allowed
to serve on team competing for honors
against team from the Baltimore police
department would, it is argued. to great
extent increase their enthusiasm. II the
Baltimore official replies that he is in ac-
cord with the plan as suggested by Major
Sylvester arrangements looking to the car
rying out Of the project will be perfected.
Those members of the force who stand at
the top in target practice will be selected to
represent the Washington department.
