TO say that if the liver were always

Thedford's Black-D raught Is 50

Problem for Slear Trust.

How to distribute a great surplus with out attracting the hostile attention of congress thereto is a problem which is bothering the management of the Sugar Trust. The surplus in accumulated prop critics and unweldly cash is said to ap- proximate at least $50, OO0 Some put t as high as, $750O0,O00. What the figure really Is can only be conjeetured, for the facts are known only 10 H. o. Have meyer, H. II. Rogers and very few of their close associates. The control of the trust Is lodged absolutely in the hands of Havemesc CT and handful of Standard Oil magnates and they adhere rigidly to the policy of guarding the business se- crets of the corporation from public scru- tiny or public knowledge. There is a rule of the sto k exchange that all corpora tons whose securities are traded thereon must make periodical reports to the ex- change of facts about which sharehold- CTS and the public have right to know. So far relates to the sugar trust this rule is a dead letter and has never been observed or enforced. The stock has
 been traded in the exchange for many
 years and enjoys an immunity in the
 matter of fiscal reports given to no other corporation This is because 1t has always been a good gambling stock and | also because Havemeyer has on many oc- casions told the stock exchange bluntly and hrutaliy that it could go to hades and that under no circumstances would
 he reveal the inner operations of bis | trust

Money Market Easy.

There will be no disturbance in the money market on account of the with draal of S2)0O0,0O0 of government depos- its from the national banks and it's trans- fer into the vaults of the national treas- ury. The money is to be taken out of the banks because the government funds are running low with which to pay current
 expenses. It is consequently clear that the money SC shifted will be put back in to circulation with very litle delay The
 process will be something like taking
 taking money out of one pocket and put
 tng it into the other. The public will nof
 be inconvenenced in the slightest degree
 and the incident is not likely to have
 more than temporary effect on interest
 rates or in the supply of cash available
 for business purposes. Eventually how ever. as trade expands, industries be- come more active and the chariot of pro- sress is propelled forward with increased velocity the demand for money will i'm prove and rates harden Money has been cheap the last year or two because there has been no general demand for It.
 As the volume of business swells the funds now employed in speculation will be diverted into other channels and the stock gamblers will have to pay high CT Tor the wherewith-all to conduct their operations. There will be a general call ing of loans and with automatic certain ty stocks will decline. That turn in the stock market may be weeks or months ahead. There is no telling

N. c. & St. L. Game.

curious game of cross purpose is
 being played in the Nashville Chat
 tanooga and St. Louis minority stock. The Louisville and Nashville holds in it's treasury about $S,O00,OO0 of the slo. GOO GOO issue, and it is well known would like to get hold of the entire amount. plan has long been pending to exchange Louisville rnd Nashville stock for that of the subsidiary company, but before dolng this the larger corporation would like to land in its treasury as much of the outstanding 10000 shares as can be seeur- ed. To that end a studied policy has been pursued of pelittling the earnings of the lesser line. Only last year over S,00o00 were invested in new property, enough to have added 10 per cent. to the dividends, This little read earns@about 25 per cent. on its stock and on that basis as well as on that of capitalization Chattanooga stock is worth $2 to S1 of Louisville and Nashville, yet the market quotations for the shares run along very close togeth- CT. The ruling insiders are dragging the play along in order to tire out little and stubborn holders, but if the interchange of securities Is not very soon brought about another Pan Handle campaign on small scale will be organized and the Louisville and Nashville party wil be ob- liged to show its hand in the open. Some day Chattanooga may jump $50 share in market prize.

TRAINING FOR THE BALLET.
Takes Hard Work to Succeed in Paris
 Opera House.

From the Chicago News.
 Members of the ballet in the Paris opera house are given a most thorough training. The sixty-four ''eleves," better known as the rats" are selected at the age of years. They are chosen, in the first place, for their prettiness and intel ligence. This thins down the number of candidates by over 50 per cent. The sec ond test is the medical examination, only children sound in wind and limb being ac- cepted Every day for an hour they must go through the drill stretching out their legs while they hold on to the rail fixed to the wall They must be able to go through all the movements without any sign of fatigue. The professors are en- tirely dependent on moral suasion by word and gesture. No child Is ever touched with the hands. If it has not the gift of carrying out the instructions by the aid of it's eyes and ears it is no good for the Paris ballet A dancer who must be placed in the proper position by means of the teachers hands may as well abandon the profession. She will never be a success. At the end of the second, or sometimes the third year the girls come into a higher department.
 Here the most severe exercises are gone through till every muscle is developed to it's highest perfection. When the pupil has gone through this curriculum with suc- cess she is promoted to the rank of cory phee" In order to satisfy the require- ments they must know the five posi- tions," These five positions are the alpha and omega of the dance. and in them are carried out all the figures used When perfection has been reached then the dancer has reached the rank of "suiet," the highest in the terpschorean her- archy. To become 'sujet" is the ambi- tion of every member of the school. for the "sujet" has the right to aspire to everything. She can become a great star in the operatic Armament.
 Salaries of those who reach the rank of premiere danseuse" at the Paris opera run from $sc00 to s10O0o year. But even if the ''suiet" does not reach this giddy height she enjoys a number of valuable privileges. She is no longer condemned to share in the common dressing room. She. with a comrade. has the right to private room, which she has the privilege of decorating as she pleases A premiere suiet' receives a salary of from s20O0 to s3o00 year so that, as a career. the bal let in the Paris opera Is fairly remunera- tive. The work is hard, and only girls ex- ceptionally gifted with intelligence artis- tic sense, perseverance and a capacity for accepting an iron discipline can succeed.

 N-an, val November 19-The stock market is resting on broader basis oi restored public confidence than at any time in four years. The volume or trah- sactions is rearly as large as it was dur inc the boom period of 1S99-l9O2 yet 1t is eln,ost entirely free from the spirit of speculation which was at once the at traction anl danger of the former bull movement. People of means are in the market on 1s large a scale, if not larger but the little people are keeping away from the maestrom, and what Is more the market leaders are evincing no anx- iety to get them in, being apparently well to ,et the situation develop with out mob nelp. Later on when legitimate business makes inroads upon the capital now available for speculation and specu- auve investment the need may arise for cess, but seemingly the time for this has not arrived Meantime the securities nlarket gains in strength and every im- portant advance is sturdily maintained.
 The bushes outlook Is unquestfonably bright and sentiment of hopefulness rnd confidence pervades every depart- ment and class. Two years ago money was 15 per cent. and the shelves were overloaded with securities which had not been paid for and for which there was no stable market. Today with all money at per cent. and six months funds a. glut at 3Is per cent, with the goods on the shelves paid for and with business conditions everywhere improved 1t Is not SUI prising that speculative senti- ment should be optimistic and prices on the rise

 Medals Out of Three Entries.

Among the many Worlds Fair prizes awarded Texas concerns were three to The T. B. Walker Mfg. Co.,, of Austin. Tex on their celebrated Walkers Red Devil Chile Powder" "Walker's Red Hot Chile Con Carne," and Walkers Red Hot Chicken Tamales." The T. B. Walker Mfg. Company are to be con- graduated, as they secured medal on every entry
 About two years ago this company began placing canned chile on the mar ket, notwithstanding some large North ern packers had made a failure III can ming this article, 1t Is stated. owing .o their inability to prepare oish Wl.h the characteristic Mexican chile navor.
 They started in by selecting tne pest daily advertising mediums or neAas, and through a campaign of intelligent and systematic advertising succeeded in placing their goods on sale through out the state to such extent that an lu- crease in capacity was made hecessary' At present they are oversold witn un- filled orders on their books for more than seven car loads. A recent ship ment of seventeen hundred cases to a vholesaie grocer in Wichita, Kan, makes a record in point of size that ia reported to be the largest single ship ment ever made to one firm.
 The company will shortly erect a large rock factory building 300x60 feet. fitted with the latest improved machin- cry. with a daily capacity of 2o.000 cans of chile, and 10000 cans of ta- males.
 With their constantly increasing trade in this and adjoining states The T. B. Walker Mfg. Company will no doubt in time make their chile and tamales, a national dish and at present their success stands as a monument to what can be done with meritorious products when given proper publicity through the best advertising mediums.

It being a rank violation of every treaty ever written for a neutral ration to transtfer that kind of material tc a beligerent nation an embarrassing situation confronted Mr. Flint which he thus far has been unable to circumvent.

 Roosevet's Policy.
 An inspired editorial appeared in the Wall Street Journal" a few days ago outlining the White House programme for the coming four four years. The edi- tt rial was written by Tom Woodock. who is chummy with the president and who spent | couple of days with him in Washington after the election. There is force. therefore in the double leaded an- nouneement that the president intends to saddle upon his party the issue of the tariff revision and that in all prob ability there will be special session of the next congress called early next sum mer to set the necessary machinery in motion The West and Middle West are agitating for a revision and it was there that Roosevelt obtained his overwhelm- ing maiorities and where the backbone of of his popularity resides he will en-
