The constant growing desire on the
part of people residing 10 the country,
riost OF whom are doing we'll
and enjoying life, to migrate the large
cities, IL n mystery to those who know
some hing OF the trials and struggles
OF city life. OF course the glare Of
electric lights and handsome colorings
so conspicuous to the visitor to the
great city after the shades Of evening
come on, have their peculiar effect
and the country lad or old man for
that matter, or girl or woman, whose
country humdrum life has been their
only amusement, when they go to the
city and see the fine turnOuts, hear
the jingle of the bells and tingle Of the
musical instruments, and see the
elegantly dressed people dining in the
swell places, naturally concludes that
the city is the real and only place.
That which is to be seen on the sur
face is very deceptive however, for in
many instances those who eft dining
In high glee under the soft rays of the
cOlored light in the cafe win have
often to dig deep into the most seclud-
ed corners of their every pocket to
find the cash with which to pay the
bill for their refreshments. Because
q young man wears the latest styled
clothes and eats beside a chsrmer in 3
swell place is no sign that he knows
where the next meal be is to eat alone
is to come from. There are excep-
tions TO this rule Of course, but the
young man who is not posted will be-
10 puzzle TO distinguish the real from
the imaginary. After ell, those who
are doing we'll in their country homes,
making 3 living and enjoying them
selves, are only too foolish to pine for
the change which will carry them into
the dizzy whirl OF life in city. No
matter how successful they may have
been In their business relations among
their neighbors In the country, when
they change TO the city and meet up
with new conditions and new clas-es
they win soon discover that they are
not equal to their new environments.
There are Of course also exceptions to
this rule, but they are so rare that it
is folly for the average person to hope
to be one of them. Even the most
epticingly inviting business displays
are deluding and the country boy or
girl who tires Of his surroundings and
throws them away for the glitter and
glare Of city life, is indeed fortunate II
the breakers are not reached before
the end Of the frst year after the
charge.

BOX OFFICE SUPERSTITION.

A newspaper man was the second In

theaters the other evening on the open

"Oh, that's all right There's no
charge at all for those seats"
The man looked surprised, thanked the
ticket manipulator. and went on. Then
the newspaper man had his turn, and he
said:

Ever notice how much more readily
we listen to any tale OF scandal that
some old mischief maker takes pride
in standing on the streets to whisper
about those he does not like than we
are to listen to anything good that
may be said Of one. Il is probably
because tile scandal monger is more
industrious than is the individual who
would aid his brother along the walks
of life, with 3 kind word.

srRANeE MENTLL CONDITION.


There Is such a condition as sleep
drunkenness" said an observant New
Orleans man. "and recently had oc-
casion to know Of a very curious case
OF this sort. Il was In the experience
Of a young lady who lives uptown. and
the story came to me through a mem
Der Of her family who had been very
much amused by the happening. I
had become familiar with this pecul-
far condition in my own family. and
had come to look upon II as simply
a condition Of drunkenness, not a mat
ter Of simple sleep walking. as Is often
supposed to be the case. Walking in
ones sleep is quite a different thing
from sleep drunkenness Yet these
conditions are often confused.
"In the case I have in mind you
have a good expamle Of sleep drunk
enness. The young lady was simply
drunk Il am glad she is not around to
hear me say it). but she was drunk.
Late in the night her mother was
reused from her slumbers by a noise
in the room as II some one was trying
to strike a match. She raised up and
asked who It was. and her daughter
answered what are you trying to
do? her mother asked. I am trying
to strike a match, the young lady an
swered. And that was what she was
trying to do. But she never succeed
ed. though she used every match In
the box.
Now here is the funny part Of the
matter: The young lady was not
using matches at all in her effort to
make a light. There was q box Of
pens on the mantel, and she had
scratched every one Of them against
the mantel thinking they were match
es, and when they would not strike
had thrown them down on the hearth.
She was simply drunk with sleep and
could not tell the difference between
a match and a writing pen. though the
difference is very marked and may be
easily detected by the sense Of touch.
have known Of many instances OF
similar sort II is Just a matter Of
sleep drunkenness, that's all"

NEW PLAN ADOPTED.

Assessment for o. U. A. M. Funeral Aid. The directors of the O.. U. A. M. Fune- ral Aid association of Connecticut have finally agreed upon the plan of assess ment to adopt in this state, after hear ing what the members of the barious councils had to say in the matter. Three propositions were submitted to the members to vote on individually. Three plans were sent out and on Octo- Der 13 the directors met in this city to consider the answers to the proposi- tions. s .. A level assessment has been adopted. This will be good news to the members of the order. The young and old are now in one class. If anybody has a kick coming, it is the younger men who have been paying the lowest rates. Af- ter January 1, 1904, they will have con siderable more to pay on each assess
 ment, while the older men in some cases will not pay quite as much.
 Secretaries of the Funeral Aid asso- citation have hent out the following let ter to the members:
 Dear Brother: At a special meeting of the legislative body of the o. U. A
 M. Funeral Aid association of Connect icut, held in the city of New Haven, Oc- tober B, 1903, the recent graded assess ment system was discarded and a Ievel
 assessment of s1,15 to all members was adopted, the same to go into effect on | the first assessment issued to the mem- | bers after the annual meeting of the | legislative body. which takes place ir January, 1904.
 The legislative body also voted to ad- init new members free for one year from date, the candidate to pay for his owr medical examination and to pay one ad- vance assessment at the time he makes application for membership.

ary measures at Pittsburg. Dissatis- faction was expressed with the condi- tions in the coal trade growing out of a large accumulation of steam sizes of anthracite and the active competition thereby produced with the large pro- duction of bituminous coal for shipping to the seaboard. The latter traffic is condition and at the same time the as- sertion gained currency that the attor- ney general of Virginia contemplated a proceeding to contest the control by the Pennsylvania of the Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk 6 Western and Chesapeake 6 Ohio. The effect of these developments was not more than nominal and did not prevent an advance which included representatives. in most of the promi- netn groups, the coalers not excepted. The character of the market seemed to have changed so far that instead of selling stocks on every piece of good news, as has been the case recently, there was disposition to buy stocks on unfavorable public announcements, thus arguing the tendency to accumJl- late stocks. The special demands upon local money supplies by reason of the troubles at Baltimore and Pittsburg have not affected the ease of the local money market. One reason for the pre- Valllng ease seems to be that the heavy railroad borrowings expected to develop this fall have not come into evidence
 This is corroborative of the reports of curtailment in betterment work by the railroads, and is capable of an. unfa- Vorable interpretation. But it has served to ease the pressure on the money market. Deposits at the sub- treasury to-day for transfer to New Orleans were $S5O,OO0, following the de- posit for, similar purpose yesterday of $325OOO. This Is convincing evidence of a much freer movement of the cotton crop which the, very large port receipts of to-day also testified to. The pros- pect of the resulting larger supply of bills in the exchange market is viewed with satisfaction. The movement of funds to teh west is still small, al- though New York exchange at Chicago fell to 15 cents discount to-day com pared with the recently prevailing pre- mium. The principal factor of the late reaction was the drop of nearly points In Amalgamated Copper, which absorb ed practically all of the attention in the market after the announcement of the decisions against it in the Montana litigation. The market closed steady.
 The bond market was broad and strong. Total sales of bonds par value were $s.s32, ,0O0.
