Some Individual Adyances--Not Very
 Impressive.
 New York, Dec. 6.-Individual stocks made advances to-day, but they were of a character less impressive to stock market sentiment than some of those that have shot up in the recent past. There were also fewer of them. The instability of other recent fayorites at the altitude to which they had been forced also begot some suspicion of these movements, which eliminated in the violent break in prices at the last. Spectators who have bought stocks recently in the hope that they would hit upon the one that was GO enjoy the next movement of this description, or those who have hoped that the whole market would be carried along by sym pathy with the strength of specialties, are beginning to reflect their disap- pointment by seeking to sell out.
 There was some remaining disqniet this morning over the newly resumed gold exports, but the distinctly easier tone of money, both for call and time lOctllo, ulctuG ally SOkAStLduG OA tIIi0 SuDo ject seem misplaced. There was dis position among the traders to ascribe the dull and neglected market of the morning to desire to await the pres- ident's message.s The hour after the message appeared was the strongest period of the day and resulted in a fairly comprehensive advance to above last nights level in the standard stocks which had hung back up to that time. It was after an interval of hesitation that the market broke to the extreme low level, which was modified only by the scramble of room shorts to take quick profits, causing some sudden ral- lies. -.> -~s%
 This scramble of shorts gave color to the supposition that the break was due to concerted raid, especially on Arnal- gamated Copper, in which the attack was trumpeted by advance advertising. Others attached importance to the dis cussion which arose of the presidents of authority to the in-

 Foreign Policy.
 In treating of our foreign policy and of the attitude that this great nation should assume in the world at large, it is absolutely necessary to consider the army afd the navy, and the congress, through which the thought of the ra- tion finds its expression, should keep ever wildly in mind the fundamental fact that it is impossible to treat our foreign policy, whether this policy takes shape in the effort to secure jus tice for others or justice for ourselves, save as conditioned upon the attitude we are willing to take toward our army, and especially toward our navy. It is not merely unwise, it is contemp- tible, for nation, as for an individual, to use high-sounding language to pro- claim it's purposes, or to take positions which are ridiculous if unsupported by potentinal force, and then to refuse to provide this force. If there is no inten- tion of providing and of Keeping the force necessary to back up strong att titude, then it is far better not to as- sume such an attitude.
 The steady aim of this nation, as of all enlightened nations, should be to strive to bring ever nearer the day when there shall prevail throughout the world the peace of justice. There are kinds of peace which are highly unde-

Untimely Death OF John BarkIey:-John
Barkley, one of the most popular men
of this town, chief clerk to Superin-
tendent R. L. Holiday, of the Della
ware Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad died suddenly Saturday after
noon at 1.15 o'clock. He had been
home to his luncheon and was return
ing to his Office when he was suddenly
attacked with heart disease and
dropped dead in front of Brockson's
store at the Clements Block. He died
before docter arrived. The death of
Mr.. Barkley who a few moments be-
fore seemed in his usual health, bright
and cheerful, was a shock to his many
friends and came as great blow not
only to his family but to the Superin-
tendents headquarters where he was
general favorite. Mr.. Barkley was in
his 41st year of age and came to Della
ware from Baltimore. In the railroad
service his rise was rapid to that of
chief clerk of the Delaware Division.
and as the right hand man of the Su-
perintenddnt he was capable, efficient
and popular. Mr.. Barkley's domestic
life was a very happy one. He married
some years ago Miss Nettie Mills.
daughter of former superintendent. /.
N. Mills. His home which adioined
that OF her parents in Clayton was to
Mr.. Barkley the dearest spot on earth
and his whole life outside his railroad
duties was devoted to the comfort of
his wife and children. Mr.. Barclay
possessed one Of the best libraries in
Clayton and his fondness for history
and literature made him one of the
best informed men of Clayton. He
wasa trustee of Delaware College and
was member of Harmony Lodge No.

there is every reason to believe that the

believed to apply to the Delaware di-
vision with equal force as to the Mary

believe that Superintendent Holiday

there, although some of the assistants
may remain at Clayton, which is an
important junction point.i

Body of Former Clayton Boy Recovered
The body of Elwood Jones, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Jones of this town, who
was accidently drowned in Christiana
River. last January %, while working
on a bridge construction. was churned
up by dredge Thursday at the mouth
of the Brsndywine and Christiana
Rivers, almost in the same spot where
he went down nearly year ago. When
the body was found, the head, both
arms and one foot was missing and ev-
identity had been torn off but a short
time. Identification was established at
the morgue in Wilmington by means
, of slipper and rubber boot worn by
Jones at the time he was drowned.
His coat was also brought to the sur
face. The body was brought to the
house of his parents in Clayton Satur
day afternoon. Funeral services were
held at Ewell NJ. p. Church Sunday
afternoon and interment took place in
the family burying lot adjoining. Ever
since the drowning accident there has
been heavy strain on the family and
every effort has been made to recover
the body but to no avail. 1t seems
that the body became fastened at the
bottom of the river and had it not been
for the dredging machine his remains
would probably never have been
brought to the surface.
In the absence of Rev. V. P. North

sTAeE-sTRuck GIRLS.

Something OF a stir has been arous
cd by the words Of Governor La Fol
Iette Of Wisconsin, in voicing oppo
sition to his daughters ambition for d
stage career. The governor IS quoted
AZ saying that the morals of the stage
are bad and that his daughter Is
letter OF away from it.
Claims like this have been made be.
fcre, and, as usual. women Of the
s age ling back at the governor the
declaration that morals on the stage
are just as good as anywhere. and
tnat in any case 1t depends entirely
o' the individual Some 90 to the
extent Of arraigning society, and say
Tat. though the stage may not be en-
trely pure, society is debaTred from
casting the first stone.
Such discussion is prontlaes. Claims
That the stage Is immoral will no
make it less moral than it really is
Charges that society is not moral vii
hot make the stage more SO. There
i2 no doubt Of one thing that 8 girl
can be as immoral off the stage as on
il she wants TO be. There is also
NJ question that she can remain as
pure on the stage as off, il she tries.
Both sides in the controversy, sin
cere as they may be, are taking ar
extreme view. There is no certainty
that the stage is going to demoralizt
a young woman, and a life on The
stage is no assurance that she will b,
any better than is she chose som,
other vocation.
The real question to an unbiased
outsider seems to be the colc-bloodet
iEtensly practical one is the girl cry
Ing for the stage. or the stage cryin.
Tor the girl?
