The Financial Outlook.


There seems to be a widely prevalent feeling
that We have passed the crest of our tidal wave
OF prosperity. Prices of standard securities on
the Stock Exchange have declined alarmingly
since last October; promoters of new enterprises
have found. floating a more and more difficult
task, and Mr.. Morgan's "undigested securities"
of last winter remain generally u~nassimilated.
The best statement of the financial outlook that
we have seen is the following from the Chicago
Christendom: "Steadily and slowly prices have
dwindled day by day until last week the market
was just about where it was in 1900 before Presi-
dent NcKinley's last election, when the greatest
stock boom in the history of the world began.
That boom ended in the panic of May 9, 1901, but
a secondary wave of enthusiasm carried prices to
even higher levels until checked last fall, when
tight money forced much quick liquidation. An
attempt to force up the market again was made
last January, but since then liquidation has been
steady and continuous and in enormous volume.
On an average, prices have declined thirty points.

mated by ONE that about $15, 900, 10000 of
stocks are traded in on the New York Exchange

Negro Equality and Negro Crime.
We are reminded just here of a rather notable
statement recently made by Congressman Bank
head of Alabama, regarding the negro problem
and the "new" negro crime, the "new" crime being
that against white women. 1t was, as he argues,
almost unknown before the days of Reconstruc-
ton and political equality legislation. AS to
this, the words Major Robert Bingham, of our
own Bingham School, may be quoted:
at was almost unheard of in slavery. The whole
manhood of the South left their women in the
hands of the negroes and went to the front during
tue Civil War with the feeling that the women
we're safe in the hands of the slaves. And they
were safe, although on many plantations there
we're a hundred negro men and not a white man
in a mile. No woman in the whole South was ever
moIC8ted by a negro during the Civil War nor for
a number of years after war"
The last clause quoted tends to corroborate the
argument of Congressman Bankhead. The crime
against white women, he asserts, did not begin I'M
til the negro's mind had been filled with unwhole-
some ideas of social and political equality, the
result Of the Reconstruction. legislation some
years after the war.
But all this has long been known. The new
claim put forth by the Alabama Congressman is
that the "new" negro crime has greatly decreased
in his own State since the adoption of its new
Constitution, and that not a case has been re-
ported in Mississippi since that State disfran-
chised the blacks.
We do not know to what extent the Bankhead
doctrine is worthy of acceptance, but it is at least
highly interesting. Our own opinion is that the
non-cxistence of the crime before Reconstruction
was due quite as much to the self-control devel-
orcd by the discipline of slavery as to any feeling
of humility.

A pleasant surprise was given by a
lady guest of Five Gables" to her
eldest daughter, whose birthday
came on the 27th inst, and in honor
of this occasion quietly sent out invi-

this place and Oakland and sumpt-

far away western home on the Pacific

the relatives surrounded this sumpt-

and French CONNECTIONS, fresh from
eastern cities, and the table decorated
with the most beautiful flowers that

to this darling first born, whom she
never again expects to meet in the
flesh. Tears came streaming from
eyes unused to weep; a solemn awe
pervaded this beautiful dining hall
and a reverent amen echoed and re-

George Truesdell has introduced from
imported stock from the best breeds
of all sheep growing lands, all of for
eign countries-England, Scotland,
Ireland, Wales, Germany and France,
and in fact all Europe. The flock
consists of s. breeding ewes, picked
from the best flock in France and
Germany, including many prize win
ners in Paris and the great German
fair at Mecklenburg and the famous
imported stud rams. The Grand
Duke of Mecklenbnrg, Is months

with gold. Over this the project of
ceremonies spread large silk veil,
which covered the whole person.
Fire was lighted in a brazier and
blown by bellows, the sparks rising
almost to the ceiling, while Monsig-
nor Bartolini read for 20 minutes the

that was mortal of Leo XIII in cy-

bearing on the cover an inlaid cross,
the entire Sacred College and Prince
Colonna rising to their feet as a last
tribute.
When the body had been placed in
the coffin it was entirely concealed
with the red velvet covering which
before had been on the bier. The
maiordomo put beside the body two
silk purses containing coins of silver
and a bronze medal struck during
Leo's pontificate. a eulogy, written
in Latin and setting forth the great
events of Pope Leo's life and reign,
inclosed in metal tube, was also in

Congregation of Cardidals selected
Father de Angels, Jesuit to under
take that duty.
When all had been arranged the
supreme prayer was said and the last
benediction given, all present joining.
Half-suppressed sobs were heard on
all sides.
The second coffin was of lead and
very heavy. On the cover at the
head was cross, just below which
was skull and crossed bones, while
below these were the arms of the late
Pope, with the triple crown, but
without the keys, as they signify
living authority.
This coffin was sealed personally
with the arms of the Camerlengo.
The Maiordomo of the chapter of the
basilica lighted a brasier which was
used in soldering the coffin, produc-
ing sounds and sights strange to hear
and see in church. These two coff-
ms were inclosed in third casket of
polished walnut without decorations.
The sad duties were softened and
soOthed by the sweetness of the sing
ing voices and the prayers of the cler-
gy.
When the last supreme moment
came the heavy coffin, weighing in
all 1922 pounds, We're rolled out of
the chapel, preceded by mace bear

and followed by all the cardinals,
among whom the bowed figure of

Agliardi, and the immense drak-
proved Svampa, were the most con
spicuous.

JOHNSON CAN KICK.

James Johnson, quarter and captain
has reputation for kicking field goals
almost as great as that of little Hud-
son. who could send the pigskin over
the crossbar from almost any point
within the 50-yard line. Johnson prac
ticed kicking a few minutes yesterday
and his work looked serious to the Cali
fornians who watched him.
The Reliance teamcshowed up half
an hour later yesterday than their pros
pective opponents. The Caucasians
caught punts for a time and then went
through signal practice, as had the
abcrigines. Reliance has plenty of ma
terial and will send a strong eleven
into the big game. Yesterday the Cali
fornians went through their routine
work with great speed and accuracy.
Their lire averages more than 200
pounds and the team will outweigh the
opposing force by nearly twenty-five
pounds a man. Reliance has an ag-
gregation of stars of the first magni-
tude and there will be some sensational
individual plays by the whites in the
game tomorrow.
What Reliance lacks most is team
play. The men have not practiced long
enough together to secure the best re-
suits, nor have they had sufficient
training to get into condition that will
permit them to play as fast as they
might otherwise.
It is sure to be great game. The
field is in ideal shape and If 1t does
not rain before the game neither side
can Justify itself by explanations after
the contest is over. Arrangements are
being made at the grounds to accom-
modate an immense crowd of specta-
tors. The advance sale of tickets is
heavy.
The officials have not as yet been Sc
lected. Mills, of this years Harvard
team. happens to be in the city, and
he is likely to be requested to act as
either referee or umpire. Another Har-
ward alumnus, Reid Of the Belmont
schoe. NAV also be invited to officiate.
Major Collins of the same institution
has been suggested as another likely
man for one of the important official
positions.
Reliance will probably take Little
nractice to-day, but it will be light.
The two eIeveas will line up for the
6-s+ ecrinmage Tomorrow as follows
