CLIFFORD, A CRIPPLE,
TAKES A THIRD WIFE
Warrant Issued for Arrest of the
Much Married Man.

Once more Patrick j. Clifford, the
much married, is wanted for the old
offense of adding to the list of his wives
without the formality of securing di-
vorces from the former ones
1t was learned last winter that Cliff
ford had married Grace Little. Of
III Four-a and half Street northwest.
while Mrs. Clifford No. 1 was patiently
awaiting his return in New York. The
latter heard OF the circumstances and
caused Cliiford's arrest. Clifford was
convicted in criminal court and SEN
tence was suspended. AS he left the
court room he found both women in
waiting, armed with horsewhips, and
narrowly escaped castigation.
Clifford is a diminutive cripple. and
goes on two crutches. Nevertheless he
proves attractive to women, for last
night Captain Boardman received notice
from Sheriff William ]. Oeligrath. OF
Towson, Baltimore county. Nd, stating
that Clifford had taken a wife there, and
that warrant had been issued charging
him with bigamy. The details OF the
last venture have not been furnished the
local police.

DECLINES RECORDED
IN RAILWAY ISSUES
Some IndustrialS Also Suffer, But
Steels Moderately Supported.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24-The stock
market opened without vim. little ir-
regular in tone. but averaging somewhat
higher. The moderate transactions in
Amalgamated Copper were the largest
in the list. II gained Il, rose Is more,
then reacted and lost the Improvement
St Paul lost an opening gain. Steels
and Rock Island were barely steady.
Realty and Wabash preferred were un-
der slight pressure. The tone became
easier in the later dealings.
The market showed variable changes
at the start, some Improvement being
recorded as a result OF some of the ad-
vances in the London market. but within
z short time a general decline was ex-
perienced which was only important in
extent in few issues. st. Paul was
conspicuous, opening up q higher, but
it declined points. New York sold of
q. Baltimore and Ohio and Missouri
Pacific lost 1 per cent. other changes
were fractional.
In the industriaIs Amalgamated Copper
was extremely irregular, and at one
time sold of nearly a point. Sugar lost
q point. United States steels and Ten
nessee Coal and Iron received moderate
support. Metropolitan Street Railway
lost IL.
The speculation is extremely narrow
with only small dealings The selling
pressure is not pronounced, but the alb
sence of important support causes re-
actions. The tone is generally heavy,
but there is no striking news, almost
the only incident being q further stiff
fening in sterling. which still further
postpones possibility of gold imports.
Government bonds unchanged; railroad
bonds quiet.
LondOn's business was nominal today.
Less than 10. 600 was bought and sold and
about evenly divided. The market look
ed well at the opening but sold of in the
first hour. During the last fifteen min
utes the traders have been fairly sue
cessful in establishing a rally The
whole market suffered from poor busi-
ness. lack of interest, and absenteeism.

The liquidation of speculative ac-
counts has been very thorough within
the last few months and the situation
in that respect has been intellectually
strengthened. The weak spots have been

pect either a recurrence of liquidation

ket during the present summer. II has
been plainly demonstrated also that the
investing public is very keenly alive to.
and appTeciative of, the merits of stand
ard securities, as was fully shown in
the thrush of investment buyers during
the period of the markets greatest de-
preston two and three weeks ago. .
While the favorable position of trade
and the low price of stocks are encour-
aging investment buying, they have little
influence in inducing public speculative
following in the market. Without the
assistance of the public sustained bull
speculation is impossible, and it IS
doubtless due in great part to the fail
ure OF the public to support the market
that professional traders are making
new moves on the bear side. People
who buy stocks at the present level
and hold them ought 10 make money, as
in most cases the market quotations are
under the actual worth of securities.

LORD SALISBURY AS A PARLIA-
 MENTARIAN

Lord Salisbury's last appearance in the House of Lords gave sad evidences of the decline of his physical, though not of his mental, powers The won- derful apparatus of MT. Gladstone's or atory remained almost unimpaired to the end; that dazzling meteor was ''ex- tinguished, not decayed." But Lord Salisbury's force gradually failed him. Never an animated speaker, the deep, powerful notes of his voice became untitled and feeble, and as he sat he would fall asleep, or would listen apa- thetically, his great head sunk on his breast. The quality of his speech was not sensibly affected. He could not help speaking clearly, for he always thought clearly. As for ornament, he never affected it, and sometimes his sentences seemed careless. But he pos sessed the ease of mastery, and to the end his addresses and elocutions rarely wanted the effect of serious thought, expressed with singular fexibility and often with exact and pungent phrasing. Their manner was often very melan- choly. Nothing more depressing than
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-09-09

the Guildhall speech on the Boer war could well proceed from mortal lips.
 Lord Salisbury's appeal was always
 to the intellect, not to the heart. He never s'thundered or lightened'.' Even his humor seemed to be used for his. own pleasure rather than for that of his
 audience. His peculiar position in the
 House of Lords, which he ruled with
 autocratic sway for over twenty years,
 made 1t unnecessary for him to call up
 the orators reserves, even to exert any
 special power of persuasion. He had
 only to speak, and his word was law. With any wider audience he hardly
 concerned himself But he often
 seemed speaking to himself, arguing out
 problem in the court of conscience or
 of reason, and there think he dealt
 faithfully. Lax in statement, with the k verbal inaccuracy which has descended
 in tenfold measure on Mr. Balfour's shoulders, he did not trif1e with the verities, as they revealed themselves to his masculine, but sombre and skepti-7 cal, intelligence. Even when he tested, he did not play with words, as his suc- cessor plays with them; his irony was a real thing, part of his philosophy of life. He felt all the difflculties-the ne- cessity, borne in upon him in his later years of responsibility, of compromise with the democracy; the incompatibili- 1 ty of imperialism and popular govern i ment; the conflict of interest and feel- 1 ing in our diplomacy, especially in the ] near east, a contradiction which drew : from him almost the only cri de occur | of his career, the famous consigning of l Abdul Hamid to the attention of-Prov-
 1dence. Probably, he despaired of : building up and maintaining world
 policy for the British empire. Some of
 his later speeches were practically con-
 fessions of his inability to do so. He
 did not let his whole thought appear
 politicians never do. He had not very
 high spirits, and something more than
 the physical burden that disease and I the growing bulk of his immense frame I brought with them seemed to weigh him down as he. took his parting serveys of l life in the sphere that specially inter- 1 ested him. t l Lord Salisbury's sense of hurnor must
 often have dwelt on the fact that man
 of his temper and beliefs-Without grace. lof speech, without strong sympathies,
