CLOSING WAS VERY IRREGULAR1
Stock Market Yesterday Much the
Same as II Was the Day
Before.

New York. Oct. 10.-The stock mars
ket yesterday was much the same az
that Of Wednesday. The volume ca
dealings was about the same and the
general show of early strength gave
way to an intensely dull and hesfi
tating market in the afternoon, as 1T
did Wednesday. The closing way
very irregular, with few Of the leadf
ing stocks at top prices and othera
at bottom prices and sagging uncert
tainty between those levels for the
majority of the list. The favorable
outlook for easier money and the
strong current belief that the coal
strike was on the eve Of a eettlet
ment were the motives Of the buying!
which showed some urgency In the
case Of some Of the coalers. The obi
vious fact that arnest consultations
were going on and every effort being
made to bring powerful influence to
bear TO effect settlement OF tho
strike gave a color TO the belief and
gave rise to countless rumors. none
Of which could be authenticated.
Gains Of one or two points were
very we'll distributed through the list
at the period CT the highest prices.
The payment Wednesday by the sub
treasury of 100000 on account Of
Australian gold at San Francisco was
supplemented yesterday by the pay
ment Of $4,000 additional on the
same account. An incoming steam
ship also brought another million dol
lars worth Of gold OF the South AZ
r!can assignment secured by the Ma
tional City bank. The sub-treasury
has contributed a small sum to the
money market during the week on
regular Ope Tti"u".

B. & 0. TO SECURE READING.
Relationship to Be Similar to That
Between Pennsylvania and Bal
tinore and Ohio.

Baltimore, Oct. 10-The Evening
News published the following yester-
day:
1.-THE News is informed by an in
side authority that the acquisition OF
the Reading by the Baltimore and
Ohio is settled upon.
1T is said that the relation Of the
Baltimore and Ohio to the Reading
will be somewhat similar to the con-
nection between the PENNSYLVANIA rail
road and the Baltimore and Ohio. 1t
is said that the Baltimore and Ohio
will not own a majority Of the Read.
ing stock, but will possess a large
minority, and become the most pow
erful single stockholdtng interest In
the property. 1t viii thus become the
domino ing force in the management
AID the same policy instituted by the
Pennsylvania railroad Influenced in
the Baltimore and Ohio will be
brought into play by the latter in the
Reading. This means the reorgani-
zati~n Of tho ~nero ting and traGic de-
partments Of the Reading.
The OBJECT IN Tuning the control
Of the Reading over to the Baltimore
and Ohio Is generally accepted to be
in order to perfect the coinmanity Of
ownership scheme without conflicting
with the PENNSYLVANIA laws, which are
very strict IN prohibiting competing
railroads in that state from owning
stock in enc another Otherwise the
Pennsylvania railroad would assume
control itself.
1T Is declared most positively that
the record issue OF $42,50000O of new
Baltimore and Ohio stock is largely
to pay for the Reading stock that will
be turned over to the Baltimore and
Ohio"

DISMISSED THE CASE.
The Supreme Court sustains Use
of Silver as Legal Tender.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The Unit
ed States Supreme court today dis
missed, on the ground that no Fed
eral question was involved, the writ
of error in the case of Fred A. Baker
VS.. Stephen Baldwin, both of
Michigan, involving the constitu-
tionality of the Bland-Allison coin
age act of 1878, providing for the
coinage of silver dollars. The case
out of refusal on the part of Baker
to whom Baldwin owed $3.50, to
accept silver dollars in payment.
The case was decided in Bald
wins interest by the supreme court
on a writ oferror. The former de-
cision was sustained by today's de-
cision, but the court did not enter
into the merits of the controversy.

ST. Louis was selected as the site Of
the Worlds Fair commemorative JEFF.
Persons great masterpiece, because of
its pre.eminence among the cities
within the Purchase. 1t Is striking
tribute to the foresight of Thomas JEFF
ferson that in less than one hundred
years after the transfer of the terri
tory there should have grown up with.
in its borders city which, in popula.
tion and in manufactures, ranks fourth
among the cities OF the United States,
and stands well up to the front among
the commercial and manufacturing
centers of the world. The city's growth
and solidity form striking answer to
the criticisms at the time of the pur.
chase, when 1t was freely stated that
Jefferson had made bad bargain, and
allowed France to unload a stupendous
white elephant upon the United States.
The attertion which ST. Louis is at.
tracing from all points as a result OF
Nactive preparations for the Worlds
Fair is bringing to the front many of its
features For years st. Louis has been
spoken OF as the Convention City, ow.
ing to its being so frequently chosen
for gatherings of a national and inter.
national character. The exceptional
hospitality of its people has been large
ly responsible for this, but the main
reason is to be found in the extreme
convenience of its location. In New
York and Philadelphia, st. Aouis is
generally spoken of as a western city;
on the Pacific slope. 1t is always spok-
en- of as eastern. AS matter of fact
II is neither the one nor the other. I
Is the most central of all the large
cities of the United States, and by far
the most accessible. II is situated
about midway between the center of
population and the geographical center
of the nation The former is moving
year by year in the direction OF st.
Louis, and the large increase in popu.
lation in Missouri and adjacent states
resulting from the Worlds Fair, will
accelerate the progress in this direc,
ton.

He went first to the north, in 1889,
believing that the best results would
probably be found there. On this ex.
pedition he discovered the Flinders
Mountain range and the long, narrow
Torrens Lake which extended further
to the north than he could see. His
search for the wished.for pasture lands
In this direction was unsuccessful and
so he returned to the south coast. A
great deal of the dry area he saw has
since been made available for grazing
by irrigation.
In the following year he started from
Adelaide on his great expedition to the
west in order to discover the extent
of the pastoral lands that, 1t was
thought, might exist along the shores
of the Great Australian Blight south
OF the interior desert. On this journey
he made the discovery that the desert
extends to the sea. He travelled along
the coast to the west for nearly 1901
miles without seeing an acre Of grass
land, though he found plenty oil
scrub and some animals that were
new to science. No part OF this region
had previously been seen by a white
man.
When Eyre had advanced 600 miles
through this desert two OF the black
men killed his only white companion
and fed, leaving Eyre and three other

AUSTRALIAN EXPLORER IS DEAD

The name OF Edward John Eyre will
always be connected with the history
of Australian exploration. 1t was six
ty years ago that he pushed into the
unknown southern part of Australia;
the work he did gained the highest
recognition from geographers. One OF
the largest lakes in Australia bears
ms name. He has passed away In
England at an advanced age after
serving his country in various impor'
tant positions in the Colonies for
many years.
Eyre went to Australia in 1882, when
only II years old, to seek his fortune
in sheep farming. Four years after
his arrival the colony OF South Austria
liza was founded and little settlement
that has developed into the large city
of Adelaide, began to flourish The
discovery of lands along the lower
courses of the great Australian rivers
and of the new region around the Cuffs
of St. Vincent and Spencer had reveal
ed much land well adapted for graz
ing; so sheep herders began to flock
in and Eyre was among them.
1t was not long before the colonists
began to talk of the possibility that
there might be wide tracts of pastoral
lands beyond the inhospitable zone
that bounds the Adelaide district on
the north and west. Young Eyre de
cided to ascertain If this were SO. fol

The lovelest in all creation
And we, shure, the impulse well will obey
And drink ould Ireland on Patricks Day.
The boys of ould Ireland merry and free;
Good hearted, however you take them;
As ready to fight to dance and to sing;
lust a good as the old earth make them
So here's to the boys with the hearts gay,
More power their elbows Parck's Day.
The girls Of oud Ireland have cheeks like the rose,
And eyes that would be your undoin';
With their barney and smiles they bewilder your heart
And your peace evermore they would ruin;
SO good health to the coleens God bless them pray
With cead mile Jahhc on Patrick's Day.
In the young days of Erin her bards used to sing
OF her culture and beauty and glory;
From palace cabin would wander affair."
With harp and with song and with story;
And the songs of our country bosoms still sway,
So we'll drink to the bards on ST. Paick's Day.
And deep in the of each Irishmans heart
Wherever earth he is farm,
Is wish that some day he may again
His dear little island of Erin,
Mid the shamrocks again the ould sod to stray
So we Il drink to the wish on St Patricks Day.

muscled structure S strong as Steel
As quick as lightning with vengefvl heel,
A bundle of eussedness wrapped in skin
OF toughness to hold that eussedness in.
A voice that sounds like eehoing wall
From the pits of sheol; a shaver tail
That rises and falls in foreeful way
As an automatic handle at play,
To pump that voice when the ertter tries
To rip the seams in the trembling skieL
He-Haw! He-Hawl
Go where you will DER the pcoped earth,
From the cob pine country that gave it birth
To the frozen where the glaciers rise
To cool the face OF the sunlit skies.
To the heated tropics of burning sands
To the jungles OF Oriental lands,
To the tombs where slumber Egyptian kings.
To the land where the black -robed condor wings
To the islands OF every hip-ploughed sea,
And you'll hear that song in its ghouish slee,
He-Haw! He-Haw!
On the battlefield where the eannons roar,
Where the ground is dampened with patriot gore
On the tresome march the winding train
Over mountains high and sun baked plain,
In the tented camps where the men lie
Awaiting the summons to do and die,
In the bivouac where the weared troops
Round the cook fire gather in hungry groups,
From the patient mule that is hungry, too
You will hear the echo from old Mzzou,
He-Haw! He-Haw!
