1t is true that some of these stocks Were
too high in 1902 and the loss of some
of the water is healthy in the long run.
but the tremendous shrinkage IS chiefly at
tributed to a gambling determination OF
Rockefeller to hammer them down, thei:
buy at the lowest notch. and then turn
in and help to carry them up to the
highest notch to sell for profit.
Men of small means who try to be-
against the Rockefellers show little judg
ment They are betting their little pile
against the man who stacks the cards and
can ruin them at any time he chooses
The truth is that men like Rockefeller
not content with their regular income OF
millions, wantonly destroy the little moths
that hover around the stock market can
die whenever they wish to make millions
at a haul Rockefeller decided to scoop
IN fifty millions or more. He depressed
the markets, he sent prices hurting down

4housands of small spectators. NORTH

BRIDGEPORT IS QUILTING DOWN

the state last year for taxes. $S0,OO0 may be big sum in the eyes of MT Paige for the yearly privileges hls company enjoys throughout the state, but to the representative of the com pany in this city that is a beggarly amount. Why, haven't they been quoted here as having $10O,OOO solely for the purpose of doing eighty men banded together in a little union and asking for what they think they actu- ally require to obtain some of life's me- cessities? -..
 ''It seems to us that this is most oppOrtune time for the company to wipe out both strikes. We are sure that conference between Manager Sewell, the executive committee of Bridgeport and the local executive committee, jointly, would bring about nothing worse than now exists, with a great probability of bringing about much good. We wish to place in our daily statement to-day notice that we are willing to participate in such a conference either in Bridgeport or Wa terbury. 1t seems to us 1t is now up to the company to make move in that direction.
 If some of those chronic criticisers of everything and everybody during the present strained situation would only show ability enough to offer both or either side some logical solution ot the strike they would attract some at tention."

New York, May 19.-The enormous
 gains of yesterday effected no appreci-
 able decrease in bullish excitement and enthusiasm in the cotton market and the opening to-day was one of the most notable of an eventful season.
 The irregularity of Liverpool after her pronounced advance, the prospects for receipts again more than double last year, and the expectations of bearish weekly bureau report as opposed to the bullish utterances credited to the New Orleans leader, all added to the rush and confusion. First prices here were to 9 points higher and immediately following the call bull aggressiveness and further covering by shorts set prices to another new high level for the season, July selling at 11.36 Au- gust at HOP, and September at 9O3, After opening 8 to 10 points higher Liverpool reported unsettled conditions and reached level 111s to 1872 higher on the near months. Later there was break of about 5 points which brought prices back to just a little over local ,expectations.j The strength in spot cotton there was again remark able, quotations being advanced 1s points, but the trading showed mark ed decrease.

TROTTER ON TIE TRACK.
Two Year Old Raced Ahead of
 Buffalo Express.

Kept in Front of Train for Three Miles
 and Then Fell Exhausted on Siding
 The Animal Was Being Led to the
 Race Track Where It Was Entered
 in Several Races.
 New York, May 19.-Prince We'll, a 2-year-old trotter, belonging to David Lee, while being led to the Empire track last night, broke loose and had a stirring race for life in front of two trains, one of them the Buffalo ex- press. r. ...
 Terrified by the glare of headlights and the whistles, the blooded trotter tore along between the rails, straining every muscle to outrun the express, until he fell exhausted at siding after a six-mile dash.
 Frank Ferris, a hostler, employed by MT Lee, started from the stable leading Prince Well, which had as yet made no record. Prince We'll had recently developed fine speed qualities, however, and was to be taken to the track, where he was entered in several races.
 Ferris led the horse up Broadway as far as Kings Bridge. Here he turned into the Albany post road, where he jumped into a passing wagon, holding the halter and letting the horse fall in behind:
 Frightened by an automobile, Prince Well suddenly pulled the halter from the hostlers hands. The horse turned and ran across the tracks of the New York and Putnam railroad at the Riv- erdale crossing. He tried to cross the adjoining tracks of the New York Gen. traI railroad, but the bars were down and Prince Well turned and started southward, just as train from Yon- kers left the Kings Bridge station on it's way to this city.
 Morris Heights, the next station, was three miles below. but the horse kept on. When only 100 feet ahead of the train and within quarter of a mile of the Morris Heights station, he was startled by roaring noise and a big headlight ahead of him. It was the Buffalo express from New York on the New York Central tracks. The trotter turned and ran northward on 1 the adjoining track in front of the ex- press.
 For three miles back the race was run until the horse fell exhausted in l the Broadway cut. Dr Dowd. vet 1 erinary surgeon. there revived him and | he was led back to his stable.

Chief Engineer Who Just Returned
 After Seven Years Absence.
 London, May 19.-Sir George White house, manager and chief engineer of the Uganda railroad, who has Just re- turned here after seven and a half years spent in constructing the line. speaks highly of the American locomo- tives and bridges used. He said to the representative of the Associated Press:
 We have thirty-six American and thirty-four British main line engines. The experiment with the American To- comotives proved entirely satisfactory. They are 10 per cent cheaper, and al- though their finish is not so perfect, they are more suitable for a mountain railway. like the Uganda road. be- cause they are not so rigid and take the curves more easily.
 tOf the steel viaducts along the line twenty-six are of American and eight are of English make. The American yiaducts are excellent, but the coh- tractors were greatly behind time and took a year, instead of seven months, to erect them"
 Sir George mentioned among the difficulties of the construction work the scarce arising from the presence of many lions along the route. No less than twenty-seven employees are known to have been carried by by the beasts.
