FOR MILES
He Is Said to Have a
Presidential Boom on
His Hands.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles Is not at all
worried over the harsh reprimand
which he recently received at the
hands of the Presidnt, for he be-
lieves that this reprimand has been
a boomerang to the administration,
and has aroused powerful senu'
ment in his favor, and acting upon
this belief he is now an open candi'
date for presidential honors. Since
he was reprimanded by the President
he has made no concealment Of his
intention to win the Democratic
nomination two years hence.
It can be said on good authority
that the decision Of Admiral Schley
to appeal his case to the President
is part of General Nils programme
to embarrass President Roosevelt.
It Is the present programme OF
Miles and his friends to have either
Admiral Schley or Admiral Dewey as
the candidate for Vice Presidnt on
the Miles ticket.

is deceived thereby Is not wise" FOR
"at the last 1t biteth like serpent

The greatest harm that | could wish
to false teachers on this great ques-
tion, those who advocate the
legalizing of liquor selling for bever-
age purposes and vote that way, Is
that they have a saloon as their next
door neighbor. For II saloons are le-
galized they are sure to be neighbors
to somebody's house, and why moi
have them located next door to the
supporter thereof, whether he be 9
bishop or a doctor of divinity.
Enemies of a good cause are Away;
to be manfully opposed, but when the
enemies are within the ranks OF those
who profess better things, 1t appears
harder to assail them, yet neverthe

Pitssburg, Jan. 11.--Four negroes

DULLRESS The CHARACTERISTIC
OF the Stock Market, Friday--Sonne
of the Features Of the
Operations.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE condition
of neglect and professionalism Into
which the stock market is falling
became more evident yesterday, not
only in the smaller volume OF the
trading but in the eccentric fuctua-
tions of prices The net changes
in the majority of the list will be
found narrow, but the days range
was considerable, and the changes
constant and various. The rule OF
operation has fallen back to the pro-
fessional room traders basis OF sell.
ing on advances and buying on slight
recessions. The speculation contin.
ued quite active in Sugar and Man
haitian, but even In these the charac.
teristics were professional. In Sugar
attempts were made to lift the stock
on the assumption that Cuban duties
would be remitted. Manhattan was
affected by realizing, but was lifted
at one time point over Thursday.
Generally speaking, the characteristic
of the market was dullness, due to
the lack Of outside interest and the
discontinuance of operations by the
larger speculative interest. The tone
leaned towards depression, as the
lack of demand made the market
vulnerable to even light selling pres.
sure. The abandonment Of the bull
campaign in United States Steel and
the desire to await better defined
status for the Northern Securities
company were general considerations
detracting from speculative interest.
The announcement of the suspen
sion of trust and savings institu.
tion In Cleveland was regarded as
an episode, unimportant in its imme
date results, but with a rather sin.
lister significance in its possible ulte.
rior bearings. The suspension was
associated in the Wall Street mind
with the difficulties of the Everett
Moore syndicate. which have been a
rather depressing circumstance in
the Wall Street back ground for some
time past. The feeling in favor OF
conservatism in the extension Of both
credits and speculative ventures was
strengthened by this event. There
has been an extensive speculation In
Delaware & Hudson on a confident
assumption that the dividend on the
stock was to be increased. This as
sumption was strengthened by the ac
ton Of the New Jersey Central di
rectors in jumping their dividend rat'
from to 8 per cent. The action o.
| the Delaware & Hudson directors yes
terday in limiting the distribution o
last years profits to 7 per cent, Il
be disbursed quarterly, was therefor,
keen disappointment, as 1t repre-
sented no better return than that O
last year. The stock was sold heav
lily, causing break OF points, witt
an influence on the whole market
The unchanged dividend on Louisvill
& Nashville was also a disappoini
ment, though in a much less degree

L Der 81, 1901, appeared the article
as copied below, and the same is con-
firmed by the best New York papers;
"New York, Dec. 31.-At a meeting
of the church club last night to dis
cuss "The Excise Law and Sunday
Closing" Bishop Potter made the
statement that prohibition was a fraud
and failure, and that wherever en-
forced it produced race of frauds and
hypocrites. Only way to deal with the
liquor question, he said, was to edu-
cate the masses.
"Dr. Rainsford, who followed Bishop
Potter, went further and said: "The
saloon is a Democratic institution, and
has come to stay. We have no right
to force by legal methods our Chris
tian sentiments on any community.
We have no right to depart from the
wishes of the masses. The Woman's
Christian Temperance union is COM
posed of good women, but they are
wrong. The saloon is not an evil
place for evil men, and it fills a pos
