A Hawley Market Pool.

b
NEW YORK, September l0.--What has
become Of the Colorado and Southern
pool?' This is a question that was
brought up in Wall Street on Tuesday
last. when the directors OF tho Colorado
and Southern Railroad Company an
nounced that they had decided to give
up the payment of dividends on the first
preferred stock Of tho company. which
since 1903 has been In receipt OF 4 per
cent. q year. Though not a prominent
railroad, there have been times In Wall
Street when tho Colorado and Southern
shares, which represent a reorganization
OF the old Union Pacific Denver and
Gulf Railway Company, have been very
active In Stock Exchange speculation,
Through the fact that Edwin Hawley has
always been connected with the property
II has attracted q great deal Of atten,
ton. It's shares have been looked upon
in Wall Street as in the case Of highly
| speculative issues. and this opinion war
! certainly borne out by this weeks diyl,
/ dend action by the directors.

GAIN IN INTEREST.
Market Betrays Evid ence o.

Selling on a Large Scale.
Especial to The Times Dispat ch:l
& NEW YORK, September 10.--'rhe Even
ing Mail and Express says:
the stock market increasing IN
breadth and in activity, there has been
a considerable gain@5this week In the
amount Of public Interest taken in IT..
fAt the same time the market betrays
evidence of selling on n large scale by
banking interests who have securities In
bulk. So far this liquidation has had no
apparent effect on the situation, and,
with public enthusiasm growing. 1t may
be that the offerings Of long stock Will
be taken without producing any set
back to the present movement. his has
often happened in the past. The capacity
of the public for absorbing securities, once
the desire to buy. becomes general, Is a
well known aspect OF Wall Street affairs,
One OF the results OF the distribution
of stocks this week has been the. rela-
tive Indifference shown by issues that
some days back were the leaders of the
market. Their places have been taken
by shares of another character, chiefly
medium and low-priced securities like
Reading, Erie common, Southern Rail-
way common. Rock Island common and
| United States Steel preferred and com
mon. Pennsylvania has probably been
F, the most prominent stock of what may
be classed the high-gradel active issues
There have been several sessions In
which the transactions have approx.
mated one million shares, very good
indication of itself that tho spirit Of
1 speculation Is spreading, While specia
stocks have risen three to five points
the average gain In the market is about
| two per cent.

later they discovered, that the doors of the
furnace were redhot, and opening Them
found the furnace bed a mass of redhot
coal. They had discovered way to ignite
the stone cOal' and they used 1t success
fully afterward.
The first Philadelphia dealers found 1t
difficult to sell. People did not believe it
would burn. and the high price made it a
prohibitive fuel. Quantities of handbills de-
scribing Ii were distributed. and even then
dealers had to give signed certificates guar
anteeing that 1t would burn.
But its progress was slow. 1t Is told how.
at several places where IL served to put the
fire out instead of being ignited, it was
thrown away in disgust and broken up and
used in the place of gravel on the roads and
sidewalks. Even as late as 1921 the annual
shipment OF the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
ton Company to Philadelphia was only 365
tons.
After the successful burning at the Fell
Tavern the coal fires were the great attrac-
ton on the cold winter evenings, and the
elite of the town gathered there. Much Of
the earlier history of this city was made
by the light of that coal fire in FelTs Tav-
ern. for there gathered each evening many
whose names are in the local histories as
men who wero prominent In the early de-
Yelopmcat Of tho city.

xrEproMAN1A AND ITS VICTIMS.
French Alienist Explains Why the
Rich Steal From Shops.

From the Chicago Tribune
K,antomania has crnpned nm again in
France under a different name. The Paris
fans call it magasinitis. and TINS new
tangled appellation for the fashionable
complaint is due to Dr. Dubuisson. the
famous brain physician.
The doctors Investigations have resulted
I'm the establishment of two facts: FIRST
that women as delinquents are in an enor-
NOUS majority; and, second. that the OF
Tense itself is consequent upon curious
condition of the mind. 1t is stated that
more than 80 per cent of kleptomaniacs are
of the female sex. In nine cases out OF
ten the offenders have been proved to be
unite well to do and Not infrequently
wealthy. 1t would have been easy LOT
them to have purchased and paid Tor the
things stolen. Which presents another
problem. Why should those who are rich
stoop to robbery? The goods purloined
are generally found uninjured. undisposed
Of and often actually unused.
LET US however look into the cause of
the disease as described by DR.. Dubuisson.
In the first place, the physician Is to be
felicitated upon clever epigram Lady
kleptomaniacs are women without hearts
who dupe men without heads" smart
saving which contains more light philoso-
ply than literal truth
A man can scarcely be called fool be-
cause the pockets of his clothes do not
happen to be so constructed as to prevent
the entrance of felonious hand! But the
doctor can afford to have his epigram
cheapened, for he POUNDS his deductions
upon a thorough understanding of the char
acter of the eternal feminine The cause
of kleptomania arises less from the individ-
uafs morbidity of temperament than from
the alluring array of every description of
dainty and fashionable attire abundantiy

mammoth shops.

of deliberate temptation tending to the Sc

cravings for comfort. Not only may she
gaze on this gorgeousness. but she Is per-
mitted to handle the pretty things. un-
