without just foundation. The secrc-
tary refers to the part taken by the
military governor in the postofiice
cases in which Rathbone was defend

step had the approval of the secretary
of war and exercised only such control
as was necessary as military governor.
He refers 20 the game of Pal Alai. and

any official action OF his but was part
of the expression OF gratitude of the

HEROIC seLF SACRIFICE.
Courage Wsth which n Young Naval
Omcor Greeted Death.


Speaking OF herolsm," said navy
officer at his club few evenings ago,
ut is rare that such an example is seen
as that Of Hynson, who was a passed
midshipman at Vera Cruz in 1916. II
was really more than a bit Of herolsm;
II was fordtude, passive courage. that
confronted peculiar danger self
sacrifice. that was most conspicuous.
"Our fleet was of the harbor on
blockade duty when one day a Spanish
merchant vessel managed TO slip in
without being discovered. Hynson con
ceived the idea Of capturing tho vcss.!
by a night attack, and he succeeded in
doing so. But as he could not take the
vessel out OF harbor for the reason
that she was under the close range
Of the enemy's guns, HyAson set fire
to the vessel In doing so he burned
both his arms so badly that he carried
them In slings for several days. while
In this disabled condition a terrific
squall came up and played havoc with
several Of our little vessels. and the one
on which Hynson was serving was cap
sized. Hynson and one OF the other Of
ficers managed to get hold Of a floating
spar, but as II was not sufficient to
keep them both ahoat Hynson let go
his hold and In few moments sank TO
his death. New York Tribune.

The weight of growing child is the
most important index to Its general
health. The standard OF weight for
growing children. that usually given
by authorities in the matter. is that at
Eve years OF age a child should weigh
about as many pounds as II is Inches
high. AS rule, this will not be much
over or under forty pounds. Children
who come of large parents should
weigh something more than that. The
rate of increase should be about two
pounds for every inch OF growth. with
tendency for the weight to exceed
this standard proportionately rather
than to fall below II. When a child il
rather heavier in proportion to It's
height than this standard 1t is sign
OF good health. If the child is growing
rapidly II should not be allowed to fall
much below IL without being made 10
rest more than has been the custom be
fore. A deficiency of weight in proper
ton to height is always an unfavorable
sign. Amy interruption in the progress
OF increase OF weight. especially dur
ing the continuance OF growth, must
be a danger signal that should not be
neglected by those Interested in the pa
tient.

made of him, he spoil e, and at the

tried to sbcOt, but the cylinder in the

FINANCIAL NEWS.

Lewis H. Tappan g. Co., in their weekly
stock letter say:
The New York market has apparently
reached the low level for the time be-
ing, liquidation amongst the railroads
which has been so prominent for the
past month has stopped at least tenn
porarily; a broad traders market having
been reached with transactions growing
smaller and smaller. The craze 20 sell
the better stocks. which was so manifest
few months ago, like all Wall street
movements and campaigns, has gradual
ly worn itself out. Although this pro-
nounced liquidation may break out at any
time, II would seem. however. that
rather dull market will be in vogue, and
that the opportunity could be taken ad-
vantage OF to readtust loans and at the
same time create somewhat better sem
timent amongst the public at large In
their opinion OF the financial situation.
A few weeks of this dull market could
be used TO good advantage after the very
erratic market for the past year.
The fact OF exceptionally good weather
occurring In the west crop district has
called for little comment In financial liter
ature lately. However. there seems TO
be very little doubt but what the finan-
cial interests OF the country will be rea-
sonably prosperous. especially as foreign
crops are turning out TO be very unsatis-
factory. This means another season OF
good business and prosperity TO the rail-
roads. as we'll as the assurance OF good
commercial business throughout the west.
II seems very much to us as though :he
tremendous decline experienced in the
prices OF securities had more than dis
counted any unfavorable features in the
situation; and although any great activity
in the market making for radically higher
figures. is probably n good ways off. we
think the prospects are for continuance
OF the traders market which at this
level Of prices looks reasonably safe, par
ticularly amongst the railroads.
