A CLEVER IDEA
The Palace Clothing House Has Opened
New Department Which Will
Fill Long Standing Want
"A Mending Bureau.

1t should win instant favor and earn
for the store the undying gratitude Of
the bachelor men and 'overworked
housewives. The idea is new and we
can already see the day when the comic
papers will be deprived of the old, old
subject of bachelor who mends his
own socks. From this point Of view
the innovation will be of public. benefit.
In another way it will be a public dis
advantage, inasmuch as it will make
bachelors more comfortable and less in
clined to marry and thereby advance
the interests Of the nation. There is,
on the other hand, possibility that the
new mending bureau may really develop
into nothing more OF less than a natri,
monial agency, unless the "Experts'
be selected with view toward effcien-
cy and no other personal attractions,
or unless they are kept out of sight Of
the bachelor patrons for the reason that
the latter, becoming accustomed to the
comfort consequent on the efforts of
these "experts'' are extremely apt to
annex experts freely, with the idea Of
making such an admirable and I'M
wonted condition permanent.
At all events, the enterprise is highly
commendable and deserves great sue
cess.

BOOM IS POSSIBLE !
IN UNION PACIFICS
wise Ones" Predict Advance if
Hartman Wins Northern Sc
curities Case.
Epeoial to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
New York, Nov. 14:-Trading in
Northern Securities stocks is not in.
fuenced in the least by the sitting OF
the court at Philadelphia. Interest, so
far as the Northern Securities company
is concerned, centers on the question of
whether or not the suit will amount to
anything in the market when it is set
tied. If Mr.. Hartman wins, the wise
ones say, there is certain to be a boom
in Union Pacific. The market is so
sensitive to good news since the election
of Roosevelt, that any such develop
ment favorable to one company would
almost certainly be reflected in sharp
advance, perhaps even in long pro-
tracted advance. On the other hand,
with the market undertone as strong
as it is, the decision, if against ,Harrri-
strength of Union Pacific.
If Mr.. Hill wins there should not be
any great effect so far as the market is
concerned. Northern Securities is now
selling away over par, mainly because
It was put up there in the course Of the
markets peculiar advance. There is
no other very excellent reason. The
stocks Of Great Northern and Northern
Pacific are doubtless very valuable, but
the price Of 116 represents price of
200 for Great Northern and Of 1873 for
Northern Pacific. The price on Great

on the stock Of Great Northern less than
31h per cent, taking the stock asa Z
per cent issue. The price Of 1873 is not
too high for Northern Pacific, which
was only 6 per cent stock, when it
went in at l15. At 7 per cent it is
worth more than this.
Rock Island Controls Alton.
A formal declaration of peace has
been signed by the Hartman and Rock
Island interests in Chicago 6 Alton.
The truce takes the form of a voting
agreement whereby at the next annual
election in October. 1905, the Rock ISL
and shall lelect another director, giving
that syndicate the control of the proper
ty. Pending that time, there will be
no change in the management, and Of
fcials of the road at all points may rest
assured that their positions are safe.
The agreement is an admission on the
part of the Hartman interests that
Rock Island people own control. It
provided that the stocks owned by both
parties should be deposited in trust
company which would vote the entire
block at the next meeting.
The rumOrs that are sent out from
time to time from Kansas City and
Chicago, to the effect that business is
being diverted from the Alton to the ST.
Paul, are declared on the best Of au-
thOrity to be absolutely false.
