MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Aug. 27.-Dealings in stocks
were smaller, today, than for more than
three years past, the aggregate dealings
reaching only about 100000 shares. Trad
ing by room professionals made up the
entire market. They attempted in the
early dealings to continue yesterday S
downward course and succeeded to the
extent of point in few prominent
stocks Covering of shorts at the end OF
the day caused practical recovery OF
the declines and the market closed DUH
and heavy and not appreciably changed
from last nights level. The preliminary
annual statement of Erie showing in the
neighborhood of 4 per cent. earned on the
common stock accorded closely with eX-
pectations and resulted in profit takings
which carried the price at one time a
point under last nights level. Disanpont-
ment over this movement reflected depres-
sion at other points of the market. For
eign banking houses continued to make
loans here in spite of the large with
dra walls. today, of gold from the Bank OF
England. This had the effect of causing
a somewhat easier tone in the time money
No large interior demand for currency
is vet evident There was slightly more
breadth to the bond market than to the
stock market, but it was dull and irreS-
ular. Total sales, par value, $1,O9o, coo.

Figuring from their records it is as
serted tina. in a race with Lou Dillon,
Maud S. woul1 have finished 342 feet
behind. Goldsmith Maid, $50 feet behind
Dexter, 654 feet behind. and Flora Tenn
pie rs feet behind. This is hardly 4
fair way of putting il. for giving those
old time champions the conditions I'M
der which Lou Dillon made a mile in
two minutes-a perfect track, bicycle
sulky, mechanical devises, Il pacemak-
or with wind break-ana they in their
time would doubtless have made lower
records that they are credited with.
Breeding and training do not wholly
account for the two-minute trotter.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A girl never feels her engagement Is
ideal unless she is sure she is not Sood
enough for him.
No woman who has a child of her own
can ever be entirely just to some other
womans child.
The more Nays man thinks over to get
n girl to let him kiss her the Surer he IS
to find that the best way IS just to go and
do it.
A husband wouldn't be of any use to a
woman unless she could brag about now
she taught him to like to go to church
Those who take the most pride in doing
a thing by sheer instinct pay the penalty
for it in cold judgment.
A woman can get to love most any man
if he will only be careful to keep teihns
her Re hopes some day to be worthy to
lay down his life for her.
You can't always tell by a womans cold
exterior that she hasn't got sparkle like
iced champagne.
Girls know a heap more before they are
married than they are willing to let on
they know after.

A new record has been established for
the climb UP Mt. Washington. A Bos-
ton man with automobile has accom-
plished the distance from the Glen
House to the Summit House, eight
miles, in 1 hour and as minutes. The
record will soon be cut much lower in
all probability, for it all depends on a
powerful machine, built for rough
roads. And then it will be in order to
the mountain.

Tho EAstest Miles.

Now that mile in two minutes has
been accomplished by a trotter, there
is naturally an interest in comparing
this record with the other fastest
miles. The pacing record now held by
Dan Patch is 1.59. For many years the
trotting record has been three or four
seconds slower than that held by the
fastest PAGER, but now that
within one second of each other, there
are some enthusiasts who predict that
the trotter Is destined to establish a
faster mark than the PAGER. Perhaps
Lou Dillon is the trotter to do this, but
if such a faster mark is established, it
is doubtful if it would long remain I'M
beaten by the PAGER. The mile record
for the running horse is 1861 made by
the. famous Salvador at Monmouth
park a dozen years ago. This record,
however, was made over straight
course, and every schoolboy is familiar
with that stirring recitation, How
Salvador Won,' so often heard upon
the prize declaration stage. The run
ming record upon the circular track is
held by Dick Welles. 1t is 1877 rs, and
WAS made this season upon the WASH
ington track.
The fastest mile which a railway To-
conotive is recorded as travelling is 30
seconds, and was made several years
ago on the track of the Plant system in
the South. The mile record with the
automobile is 81 40 seconds, and was
made by Henri Fourier on the Ocean
parkway, Brooklyn, in 1901. The
bicycle record for mile is 1.1S 3-5, and
is held by Joe Nelson. This record was
made with the help of pace maker.
The record for mile unpaced is held
by w. e. Samuelson, and 1.53 3-5. The
wide difference between these two rec
ords indicates, in some measure at
last, the help which is given the trot-
ter and the PAGER by their running pace
makers. The record for the sailing
yacht is believed to have been made by
the Reliance off Newport this summer,
when it covered a mile in 4.55, while
the mile made in 1.2O by the Arrow is
thought to be the record for steam
yacht
When it comes to the time in which
man can run mile, the record is held
by w. G. George, an English athlete,
and the time is 4.12A. The great speed
at which a man is going who runs a
mile in this time is better appreciated
when we see that it is almost one-half
as fast as the worlds fastest trotter
can cover the distance. In long dis
lance runs, the English athletes have
almost always surpassed the Ameri-
cans when they have met in competl-
ton, Just as the latter have pretty
generally excelled them in the dashes
the hurdle races, and the jumps. The
American record for a mile run is
4.15 Is, and was made by G. IS. Tinclel
at Worcester, Mass, in 1897. The skat'
| ing record for mile is a few seconds
under three minutes.

The Jewish Dream Of Empire.


For centuries the Jews scattered over
the face of the earth have dreamed OF
| land which should be all their own,
and where the race could establish
anew the proud and powerful position
lit once held among the nations of the
world. More fondly than in any other
/ direction, their eyes, through all these
wears Of exile, have turned towards
Jerusalem, and they have dreamed
1 that some day the curse should be re-,
moved, and that they would again
possess the land where the patriarchs
lied their tlocks, and Moses gave laws to
fmankind and David sang his deathless
Esongs, and Solomon built the temple
which still stands although it's material
walls have crumbled. But these things
have seemed too far in the future for
THE practical minds of most Hebrews
and they have wisely bent their efforts
to making the most of themselves in
the land where fortune has placed
them.
X The Zionists' convention now in ses-
sion in Switzerland is a reminder that
the hope of the Jewish nation is not al
together abandoned. The restoration
of the race to Jerusalem, which, doubt
less has a place in every Hebrew
heart, is not being considered by the
present convention, but it is talking
over the English offer of great tract
of land in East Africa. England is not
wholly dislnterested in making this
offer for East Africa needs develop
ment, and it has enormous opportunl-
ties for industrious and thrifty immi-
/ grants. 1t offers opportunities to the
oppressed million Of Jews in Russia,
which it does not seem possible that
they would throw away if they could
get means to make the journey from
their present homes to East Africa
The offer is a happy and practical an
swer to the Kishineff massacre, and IL
is something to which Russia cannot
well take exception.
And so, if the Hebrew intelligence as
Represented at the Zionist Congress
takes kindly to this English offer, il
may be that East Africa will, by ant
by, see the great Jewish republic
(which the long-suffering race ha
Dreamed of establishing in its ancien
Il home in Palestine. But for that mat
ter, the building up of great Jewisl
colony in East Africa would not pre-
/ vent the carrying out of the Palestine
tcheme, if an agreement of the power:
In the solution of the eastern question
Mould ever make it possible On tn
4 mntrary, the experience in such col
bny would train Jews for the duty o
flf government whenever the oppor
Gnity shall come. In the meanwhile
+ great stream of Russian Immigrant
continues to seek our shores, and TO
increasing multitudes of Jews, Americi
has, indeed proved the promised land

Jewish center in the world, and it re

The Power of the Press.


1t takes a far seeing and keen obSerF-
ing Maine man, Rev. Robert Macarthur
of the New York city Calvary church
to appreciate the fact noted in our col
unns Monday that today the pulpit has
more powerful rivalry than ever before.
The newspaper press, the cheap maya
zines and the free libraries fill in part
the place once occupied by the pulpit
alone. The newspaper today is the
university extension course for the rank
and file of the people. 1t has mighty
educational power untold. 1t ought to
be and often is the ally of the pulpit
The ancient orators in Greece ana
Rome often gave the news to their
waiting audiences. No preacher or or
ator has that advantage today.

1t isn't quite fair perhaps to remind
ourselves of it. but one can't help COM

with that which existed when there
was a possibility that a Spanish fleet
might gather to test the strength and
agility of the garrisons in the forts
about Portland.
