May Resign as Head of Prevention of
 Vice Society.
 Anthony Comstock is i'll and under the doctors care at his residence in Summit, N. J.. and it is stated he will resign as president of the Society for the Prevention of Vice.
 MT. Comstock appeared here several weeks ago to be present at a hearing before United States Commissioner Wright on the Dr. ]. J. S. Doherty case. Comstock is the postal inspector who worked up the case against Dr. Doherty and who, when he attempted to serve the warrant and also secure some more evidence, it is alleged, was badly han dled in a scuffie in which three ribs were broken and other bodily injury was sustained.
 But for the interference of Deputy Marshal Parmelee it was said that the inspector would have been badly hurt. He was able some weeks ago to leave his home after having been indoors for some weeks. The hearing on the De- herty matter was postponed several times, as Comstoek was unable to at tend.
 Ccmstock is booked to appear in the United States court here on the fourth Tuesday in February when Judge Platt will hear the evidence in the case. Comstock and a man named Deering are the chief witnesses against the doc- tor.
 Doherty is out on s2,000 bonds. His counsel is David Fitzgerald.

rEsrEgpAF,s srocK MARKET
Increase in Lake shore Dividend the
 Feature,

New York, Dec. 23.-The stock mar
 ket for the most part to-day continued in state of Information. Practically al! of the circulation was within the
 stock exchange body itself. without any
 perceptible share from outside sources.
 The feature of the days news was the
 increase announced in the Lake Shore semi-annual dividend from 31s to 4 per
 cent. The other Yanderbilts responded to this and it had a mild tonic effect
 on the general market. The three-point ! drop in Lake Erie and Western was a marked exception among the Wander
 bilts. As Lake Short controlled com pany, the Lake Shore dividend increase seemed to be without encouraging effect on Lake Erie and Western stockholders on the supposition that the benefit from
 operation to the controlling company
 would be a first consideration. The yearly statement of the Lake Shore
 earnings was the subject of widespread
 comment in connection with the divi-
 dend increase, the surplus after charges
 and dividends (partly estimated) faIl-
 ing to $752,O1S. compared with $S,272.OS6
 for the previous year.
 The movement in the Vanderbilts re- vived discussion of the necessities of the New York Central to be financed in
 connection with the extensive terminal l improvements projected in this city.
 The subject of future railroad bond is
 sues was kept alive by the suppositions as to the disposition of the proposed Rock Island consolidated refunding is-
 sue of $250, ,000, 600. Rumors on this sub ject were various and conflicting. Much
 speculative activity was diverted to the cotton market, where heavy realizing
 of profits was effected in the desire to reduce commitments for the approach ing holiday interval.
 Sterling exchange weakened further to-day and the demand for remittance | was light, the period available for re-
 lnittance to cover January obligations
 having practically expired. The specu- lative movement in the local fractions was carried on in a rather listless fash ion, and some of the high grade divi-
 dend stocks which figure largely in the
 surplus accounts of great financial cor porations were marked up without en- countering much opposition.
 The bond market was firm, Rock Isi-
 and fours and Central of Georgia in-
 comes being bought up to higher lev
 el The total sales, par value, aggre-
 gated $2,075,OO0. United States bonds were unchanged | on the last call.

Grand Ouera House.

The big country play, "Sky Farm" which Is the Christmas attraction at the Grand Opera. house tonight, to- morrow night and Saturday night, is a magnet of great power to lovers of a deeply interesting drama, based on life in a New England village, of highly ar- tistie performances and of a produe- ton which is completely satisfying in the way of stage pictures. This strong drama of current existence in the Berk- shire Hills has now become one of the few great drawing cards of the theat- 1ical season.
 Sky Farm" is a, play which has been aptly said to be full of sunshine and love- with the cleanest, best and most rippling kind of merriment and the ten derest, sweetest of sentiment. "All the world loves loyer," and this is prob ably one of the strongest reasons why 50 many good people found such keen enjoyment and deep interest and satis- faction in attending the 250 or more performances which were given of the piece during it's run in Boston and New York last winter. The attention is riv- eted at the start on the characters as they begin to appear, and all in the audience stay until the final fall of the curtain in order to get the full measure of pleasure. ,:*f
 There will be a holiday matinee on Christmas day and the regular matinee on Saturday. Seats are now on sale, Secure your seats in advance. Prices as usual.
 Lady Bountiful in "Locping the Loop is played this season by Alice Thornton, who not only plays the part in q superb manner, but introduces an eccentric acrobatie dance during the finale of the first act that is a decided feature of the comedy. Looping the Loop" comes to the Grand Opera house next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with the usual matinee Wednes- day.

GEN. CANNON TELLS OF
CONDITIONS IN CAMP
Says Deputy Sheriffs in Some In
stances Have Carried Things
With a High Hand.

General John @ Cannon reached
salt Lake yesterday afternoon from
SCOdeld. coming TO confer with Gov
ernor Wells on conditions there,
Il had hoped 10 reach here in time
10 be present when DemolIi talked to
the governor said General Cannon,
but I did not get in until this after
noon. Everything is is quiet there as
q summers day. There was q little
disorder night before last. over near
Clear Creek. where there is a nest Of
Italians a lot Of them gathered aroun1
some miners who were working, shook
their fists I'm their faces and called
them scabs.' A squad Of soldiers was
sent tr0tting up. and when the Itai-
ians saw the boys coming they scat
tered We got two of them. though.
and sent them to jail for thirty days -
How about these stories Of intim-
idati0n OF witnesses by deputy sherlffs
and interfering with citizens on the
public highways in broad daylight
You mean in the case OF DemOlli?
His first trial was fair enough. I was
not present at his second trial. but
they tell me he was going 10 Clear
Greek merely 10 get a change of venue,
and was taking some Of his agitatOrs
along, calling them witnesses merely
as a ruse 10 get them into camp. They
were stopped by the deputy sheriffs
for that reason.
The company has a big advantage
at Clear Creek. The public highway
and even the railroad stops at the
company property. SO If they want 70
they can carry things with an even
higher hand and arrest everybody who
goes on their land for trespass."
Have the deputies been carrying
things with a high hand"
I'm some instances, rather"

1.-THE company Is steadily getting
