Company have it in contemplation 10
subscribe for 100 shares of stock in the

to tn" plank road. and would doubtless
pay the Railroad Company "A heavy in

will induce many citizens of the upper

CuRE RHEuMATIsM.

A firm of Philadelphia chemists Is reported to have a serum extracted from bee stings which is claimed to be a specific for rheumatism. The remedy was discovered accidentally through the result of frightful sting ing received from bees by a farmer af- fiicted with rheumatism. The Phila- delphia firm, it is said, has placed an order with one bee farmer in the State of Texas for 5O.00O stings. In its fin ished state the rheumatism cure is to be sold in small vaccine points in the same form as antitoxin.
 Those who claim to know assert that bees do not sting for the purpose of giving pain. but to inject a preserva- tive and favoring substance into the simple sweets gathered from flowers. It is this preservative or venom, as it proves when injected into human flesh, that operates as cure for rheumatism, Temporarily the proyerb' of remedy worse than the disease might apply to this cure. But bee stings are harmless, though temporarily painful. Then, too the remedy is easy of application, The only thing necessary for the sufferer from rheumatism is a reasonably close proximity to the business end of a bee -and the bee will do the rest.-Denver Daily News.

YESTEEDAY'S STOCK MARKET
Further Decided Pressure of specuIa-
 tive LiuidaatiOn.

Further Decided Pressure of SpecuIa-
 tive LiuidaotiOn.
 New York, July 27.--There was fur ther decided pressure of speculative liquidation Of stocks to-day and the bears also pounded the market with in creased confidence. The action of Unit ed States Steel pf. was watched with special interest and it's leadership of the decline was material factor in de- ciding the tone of the market. The first 800 shares sold above last nights price, but an immediate decline followed and was unretrieyed.
 Speculative opinion was inclined to assume that yesterdays selling was realizing and the offerings to-day were believed to be os the same character, as the dividend action and the amount of the net earnings were so closely in conformity with the published intina- tions. With the doubts over the divi- dend for the past quarter dissolved, a new set immediately sprang up as to the dividend for the current quarter. The record low level of thrilled orders on hand reported by the directors and the recognized fact that the third quar- ter of the year is normally the smallest in the steel business gave rise to the sceptical attitude toward the stock adopted in the days trading. A grave condition in the relations between the Russian and British governments was warrantable inference from the action of the government securities in London and Paris and this was an influence on our own market. The first direct effect on affairs here was looked for in the foreign exchange market, which contin- ued to hold strong, leading to expecta- tions os an immediate outward move ment is invariably adverse to the stock market. The excessive accumula- tion of reserves in New York banks at present does not mitigate the usual dis couraging effect on speculative senti- ment.
 A great deal of attention was given also to the possibility of an issue being ratseC between the United States and the Russian government should the Vladivostok squadron encounter any ships under the American flag. Reports of setbacks to crops gained additional currency with the decline in stocks. The few reports of gross earnings of rail- roads for the third week of July point ed to a poor average. Rurnors Of a rupture in the anthracite conciliation board and resulting strikes had a keener effect by reason of the current unrest in other departments of labor. Discouragement at the inability of the market to withstand the selling and another pessimistic view of the steel trade by the Iron Age led to the late break which carried prices to the lowest and made the closing weak.
 Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value, g, 2,410,000.

 morning. Usually he remains until ? D. m, but it not infrequently happens that midnight finds him there. All pol icies of the Standard Oil and it's allied properties, all plans of extensions, ab- sorption or suppression, all increases or decreases in the prices of oils and all agreements with transportation compa- nies are under his direction. And as a large part of the Rockefeller holdings are in copper, MT. Rogers is identified with the mining industry.
 Three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeyes'' is exemplified in the case of Cornelius Vanderbilt not, how ever, from necessity, but because of his love of labor. Every day he is in New York he may be found standing at a drafting table or pouring over books or mechanical or electrical engineering, and he keeps two or three draftsmen working with him or under his super vision. That his work is eminently practical is attested by the f1rebox and boiler for locomotives now in use on all the great systems of the United States, inventions of his brain.
 The trip of A. J. Cassatt from Phila- delphia to New York in seventy eight minutes to attend directors meeting is but fair indication of the speed at which he works. He is indefatigable, 10 Pennsylvania railroad keeps in touch with every move. Beginning business life as a rodrnan with a surveying par ty on the Pennsylvania. he has never shirked the sheer hard work by which he climbed to the top.
 A man working with almost as much speed as George Gould is F. H. Harri- man, who caused the Northern Pacific corner by his fight with J. Pierpont Morgan, and who controls twenty thou sand miles of railroad Knowing all most every inch of the United States, in so far as it affects railroading, his forte is strategy. and he relies on this to make him the railroad king of the Uni ted States.

 Among other men who are in the class with those named are J. J. Hill, who has capacity for work in keeping with his great depth of chest; John Ar buckle, the sugar man; w. D. Corey, president of the Steel Trust, and John w. Gates, who spent his forenoons last summer in his office keeping other spec ulators guessing, his afternoons at the race tracks linnerying the bookmakers, and his nights on his yacht concocting spectacular plans for the morrow.
 Surely the path of the millionaire is not boulevard.

AS TO MEMS COLLARS.
Mems Fashion Magazine on the Evolution of the Wing Collar.


 Evolution of the Wing Collar.
 In collars, the wing shape is the most fashionable style for all occa- sions just now, and by the autumn some developments of it will certainly be apparent. There has been a move ment in this matter for some time. The nature of it may be worth tracing, as it will give some guidance as to the future of this collar. The old form of wing collar had a large interval in the middle. The wings were of large size and began far back. They had square points, and the lower edges were parallel to the lines of the collar. Along with this kind of wing collar there existed ''Rosebery," collar. much the same in shape. but with fully rounded corners. When wing collars came into fashionable use again last year, they were cut somewhat differ ently. Whereas, you could fold poke collar on an emergency into very much the form of the old wing collar, you could not make one of the new kind from a poke collar, because the wings were now, though smaller cut beyond the upright line. It follows from this that the opening in the middle was much reduced from what it had been, and at first the wings were very small indeed, and the points not square, the wings sloping upward and backward from the stud. But this form was found unsatisfactory and soon the wings became larger without much in- crease in the size of the middle opening, and the points were slightly rounded as in the full-dress wing collar of the present moment. GA sharp pointed wing collar is perfectly good wear for informed dress where a fold collar does not happen to be called for-as with the gray morning coat suit.) One or two attempts have been made to intro- duce a. shaped wing with waved edge, called the Butterfly collar, but this has met with no favor in strictly fashionable circles.
