Connecticut by an act Of the last
legislature prohibits the sale in that
state OF shares in mining and oil cor

such corporations have filed with the

thereon 4 fee of SIS must accompany

the assumption that a mining or oil
scheme is guilty until proved inno-

assumption, either. Legitimate enter.
prises of the kind will probably regard

Ernest Buch, waiter of Duluth, has
fallen heir to 5000 left him by rela-
tive in Germany, but cannot return to
that country to claim the inheritance
because he once told funny story about
the kaiser. That was some eight years
ago, when Buck was an army lieuten-
ant. He told the story at mess dinner
and a brother officer advised him to flee
at once, otherwise he would be called to
account for lese majestic. Buch left i'm.
mediately for this country, thereby es.
Gaping punishment, but he aggravated
his original offense by desertion. Hence
he will not return to his native land un'
til assured of'royal forgiveness.

A noble British lord complained in hi.

A noble British lord cOmp,aiEed In MS
London house 10 an American guest, o
Mamma. O., woman, that when
he was entertained
in the United States
some of the persons at table ate with
their knives and others spilled the soup
Oh the table cloth. How unfortunate
you were in your letters of introduction,
tactfully and condolently replied his
American guest. AS the noble lords let
ters of introduction were only to persons
Of wealth, it may as well be admitted that
American money sometimes arrives sc
quickly that good breeding, which, it is
assumed, always comes with titles and
continuity Of pretensions, are not in
yariably found in the homes of the Yam
Iee rich. The noble lord was not
ashamed to riGicu,e those whose hCspi-
tality he accepted, which is another grade
OF manners different only IN degree. In
TIE louse.oi commons, according TO the
Chicago Chronicle, another grade has
just come out, Illustrative of the manners
Of both guest ana host under picturesque
circumstances. The governor general OF
India, Lord Curzon, was a guest in the
palace of the maharajah of Benares
whose carved ivory furniture was long
the pride of the province and the glory
of its ruler. Carved white ivory furniture
subsequently appeared in the London
house of Lord Curzon and was recognized
as having been seen in the palace where
the governor general had been a guest.
Embarrassing questions were publicly
asked and remained mystifyingly unan-
swered. The enormous money value of
such furniture, the rapidly disappearing
material and the years of genius spent ON
the carving caused the matter to expand
in various accusations against the gov
ernor general. Similar episodes in earlier
years of British rule in India were re-
Nlved. The maharajah has come to the
rescue Of his guest. He writes for publ-
cation that three days after the departure
or his superior, the governor general, he
received a letter from an agent of the
governor general to the effect that "a few
ivory chairs" in the rooms occupied by
his late guest had attracted the attention
OF the governor general They corre-
sponded to some already in his possess
sion. Would the maharajah part with
them at reasonable price? According
to oriental etiquette the expressed wish
of guest is equivalent to a command
upon the host. The host wrote that 1t
would be repugnant to him to accept a
price, but as gift under the circum-
stances-that is. from an inferior to a
superior-is forbidden in India by rules
Of the house of commons the host sug-
sested compromise. He would take a
rifle in exchange for the carved ivory
chairs. 1t may be allowed that Amer
/ leans even Of recent wealth do not so
around the world selecting in the homes
of their entertainers the bric-a-brac they
/ should prefer to have displayed in their
/ American palaces. They wait until they
find it in the auction rooms. Then they
are chccrlully sw.nd,cd in the price.

Extraordinary Apathy of the Public

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE public apathy
toward the stock market was Indicated
today BY the effect OF the publication OF a
very favorable bank statement. traders
had bought a few stocks in anticipation OF
the goou showing by the banks, out their
ton caused a melting away of gains and m
some cases their total was wiped out. The
known movements Of currency from the
statements or the banks themselves indi-
Gated a gain of N.OUO.uO to Sy,vvJ,uU In the
cash item, but the actual gain by the
average system OF computation shows a
rise OF upward OF N2.OyJ,UO, Last weeks
statement understated the Smount Of the
actual cash gain by about the amount that
today statement overstates II, which Is not
unusual where a heavy movement comes
late in the week. Today $ large loan in
crease is normal 20 the season, but there
has been no evidence OF the employment
OF so large a sum as S4,uOO,VuO In the stock
market this week, and 1t Is supposed that
syndicate operations unknown TO, the peo-
pie have figured In this item. The increase
OF the surplus amounts to $40, So. The
comparative ease which has been reached
In the money market left only a languid In
terest In the bank statement. Only MIS-

noticeable show of strength, and their
gains were not well maintained. lnterna-
tional Power was run up 3 points, but
cropped back 8. The market closed irreg-
ular.
There has been some demand for lower
