Evidence Against heInze.

Evidence accumulates In support of the story that F. Augustus Heinz has sold out to the copper trust, although he vehe- mently denies the story. Senator Clark of Montana is given as authority for the statement that the actual transfer will take place some time next January when an option given by Heinze will expire
 Heinze will receive about s7,O000OO for his properties, of which the larger part will go to interests that have been back ing him and that held his obligations and title to what he claims The fate of Heinze has been foreordained ever since the Amalagamted copper crowd got after Hallgarten X Co.,, who unwiseIy under took to finance the Heinze deals a year or more ago. Rarely has house in Wall street been subjected to the lombard ment given the Hallgarten concern. The heaviest guns of the Standard oil com bination were turned upon 1t, and the house was shaken out of millions of doI- lars. It stood the assault, however, but eventually tired of. the war and let go of Heinze and his schemes John w
 Gates and August Belmont held tife> net Into which Heinze fell and out of which he will crowd in a couple of months or thereabouts. With Heinze eliminated from the Montana situation a fastidious world can take Its fingers from its nose and

To Change Motive Power.

Apparently authoritative announcement is made that the New York Central rail- road is about to change the motive power on the West Shore from it's terminus in New Jersey opposite Forty-second street, New York, to Buffalo, a distance of 432 miles, Electricity Is to be substituted for steam. To make the change will cost at the lowest calculation s2500000O, and the amount may be considerably in excess of that figure. The reconstruction Is to be under the direction of Horace Andrews, an expert who is given the credit of revolutionizing the street car lines of Cleveland on the highest plane of any urban system in the world. This will be the first departure on a big scale from steam railroadlng and Is looked upon by many as precursor of the complete rev. olutionizng of the rail transportation business, If the move proves to be eco- nomical, as it undoubtedly will then all the railroads in the country will have to follow suit and that means practical rebuilding. The iron and steel interests and the electrical companies hail the movement with intense satisfaction, They say 1t means ten or fifteen years of em- ployment for every mill and electrical machinery factory In America-work at high pressure and without intermission.

Reported That Bulls Will Again
 Raise Prices
GOSSIP ABOUT HAVEMEYER
Two Versions of the Sugar Deal. Heinze Seems to Have Sold Out to Copper Trust-otheF
 Gossip.
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, November 5.-An interesting theory in regard to the stock market sit uation is that the bull campaign thus far conducted has been one chiefly of educa ton, that the real excitement Is to be or ganized the first of the calendar year 1905, The upward movement thus far has been manipulated mainly under the direc- ton and for the benefit of the banking interests and the great financers grouped around the important fiscal institutions and insurance companies. It Is further set forth by apostles of this idea that prices are to be maintained around cur rent levels until the public becomes thor oughly educated to the quotations and forgets they were eyer lower After hay ing become accustomed to the prevailing
 advanced prices it will then be an easy
 matter, 1t is argued. to start a great bull
 movement which will exceed in volume
 that of 19OO-l9O1 when sales on the stock exchange reached a daily aggregate of
 2,5OO,o0O shares, once going above 3O,0o0,o0o shares In a single day.

About Suoar Deal.

There are two versions to the story of the sugar deal One is that H. O. Have meyer, autocrat of the sugar trust, has finally withdrawn from the speculative market and will devote his whole time in the future to the physical up-building of the property and to a oinching of his hold on the sugar trade of the western world The other version Is that his play in the stock market is to float to better advantage a new batch of securi- ties soon to be issued in the guise of stock against investments in sugar lands and other properties. MT. Havemeyer has become inordinately rich. his wealth now being estimated at close to 5000 GOO. He is as powerful in sugar as Rockefeller is in oil and his trust is conducted very much along the same lines as the petro. leum trust. Sugar enthusiasts predict 200 for sugar common before the middle of 1905, and say that eventually the stock will compete in value with Standard oil, which sells most of the time around $50.
 Be that as it may, Wall street Is plaster ed foot thick with bull tips on sugar.

THE scRlmMAeINe COED.
She Is Patriotic, Loyal, and Game to
 Her Stocking Tips.

From the New York Mail
 "Four of them fainted and were tram lied under foot. and another received blow over the eye that left a gash three inches long, says a dispatch from the University of Cincinnati The words do not refer to the gladiators of a harried rush line They record the disabilities of some girl students who mixed into q riot between men students and spectators at a college flag rush. As the dispatch explains: Half a dozen co-eds, seeing their friends worsted rushed into the scrimmage.
 Among the latter-day phenomena of the coeducational colleges nothing Is more significant than the hearty participation of the young women in all the activities of the stu lent community. The patriot ism of women is always a more fervid thing than the patriotism of men, and there are few sentiments more intense than college and class patriotism. George Ade did not caricature this sentiment be- yond the semblanee of reality In his College Widow" when he represented the girls as urging the rush line of the local eleven to jump good and hard on the red-haired Goliath of the opposing eleven.
 Co-eds with waving flags back of the coaching lines, claimant, maenadic, fierce ly roofing are not an uncommon sight in some colleges. Their eager sympathy

The corporation is in receipt of an income of close to s1 000,0 900 a year from this source alone, and is in- ereasing the returns. It is to the Indian Territory however, that oil specialists are now looking for greatest development.

Wash. Connor Is said to be running deal in Chicago Great Western, and touts have it that the common shares are in for a rise of ten points or more. To those who make direct inquiry Connors enters a denial of the report that he is conducting a campaign in the stock, but 1t Is nevertheless well known that he is putting some of his closest friends into the security and giving a half promise of fat returns for them Accompanying this rumor of a campaign in Great Vest ern is a seemingly well authenticated story that 35 has been offered for a very large block of the stock and refused. The Great Western system under the management of A. R. Stckney has been a chronic rate disturber and plans with out number have been formed to secure control of the property and thereby re- store rate harmony throughout a large section of the middle Mississippi valley. The latest is that such a deal is actually nearing eonsummation and that the pur- chasing pool includes the Hill, Hartman, Rockefeller and Rock Island interests.

Politics and War.

There has been some politics as well as war In the stock market during the last week of the presidential campaign. The animation infused into 1t by the demo- cratic candidates of not only the republi- can managers, but also to certain busi- ness interests which had fallen into that comfortable state of mind described as lover confidence Considerable liquida- ton of speculative lines of stock re- fiected this mental disturbance in very pronounced way.

CLOTHES FOR LITTLE FOLK


 brown, or blue or tan, to match her win ter heavy coat.
 Little children do not wear fur coats, tlppets and eapes and muffs, of course put an entire fur garment Is far too heating for romping babies who are ex- ercising violently every outdoor minute This limitation does not naturally apply to little folks who live in the country and take long, cold winter rides Coats are made for them of white astrakan, of IT. petan lamb and w.ate caraeul. but they sa-e for driving only. sA
 These white furs at a glance seem very expensive propositions, because they soil so easily even when not used for romp- Ing and playing. But they can be easily cleaned by using strong solution of bo- rax water. The water must be hot and the cleaning speedily done.
 Take for a bowl of water two table, spoonfuls of pure borax. then with a sponge hastily sponge the surface of the short nap furs, letting them at once dry in the sun or by artificial heaG The long nap fur may have the hair dipped right in the borax water if you do 1t a little at time, so as not to soak the pelt. The skin itself dries slowly and is apt to rot If wet often. but no amount of wetting will injure the hair if 1t is dried at once and quickly
 Furriers charge nearly the price of fur set for cleaning it in this very simple, inexpensive way.
 Three things should be remembered, that the sponge should never be used soaking wet, and that 1t should be swift ly applied and the fur rubbed lightly.
 When cleaned, if it can be dried out doors in wind and sunshine, It will look like new.
 But don't make the mistake of trying to clean white fur beaver hats this way. They can only be freshened by dry cleaning process and then not perfectly, So that they are a bit of an extrava- ganee except for a very best hat, and then something will he sure to happen to them Mouse eolored beavers to match velvet moleskin coats are beauti- full, and so are the other shades and all the different tones of brown that are so very fashionable.
 And brown is the color for small chil. dren this year The Gainsborough hats and Victorian bonnets are brown. and you can get all shades or brown stockings and boots and gloves. The prettiest brown fur for little folks Is dyed squirrel It is not expensive and is very soft and babyish.

Reports which have been in circu- lation n the city this week to the effect that diptheria was spreading rapidly and an epidemic of grave proportions was at hand are not borne out by the statements of physicians.
 According to these there is nothing alarming in the situation. New cases during the week have not exceeded three. Cases that have devloped have been quarantined and thorough disinfection of the properties Occu- pied has followed recovery of patients. AntI-toxin has been used with so much success that there is little ground for fear of serious results pending at tack provided the trouble is taken in hand within any reasonable time af- ter development
 ] As stated earlier in the week, ex- animation of school children by phy- sician failed to show a single one in attendance at the schools of the city with the slightest symptoms of dip theria. The scattered cases that are 1 extant are to be expected at this sea- son Of the year and indicate nothing upon which to base the alarm that has been set going.
