New York Stock Market Affected by
Russian Outbreak.

New York, Jan. 24.-Thes New York
stock market was considerably affect.
ed by the news of the outbreak in ST.
Petersburg. First prices of the lead
ing speculative issues were lower than
Saturdays close to the extent of a
point or more and the general tone of
the market was weak. There did not
seem to be any organized support to
prices. Sentiment was undoubtedly
very much unsettled by the Russian
developments. London, where late
prices for Americans showed very ma
terial declines, was a heavy seller
here.
It is estimated that 10000 shares of
stocks, principally Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Eries, Reading, Rock
Island and the Steel issues, were un-
loaded in this market at the opening
There was practically no foreign buy
ing to offset this. Presumably the
larger part Of the days sales was for
account of financial and banking in
terests i'll Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam
and Frankfort, well as London.

this in the most vigorous terms. One
OF Father Gopon's lieutenants declared
that the leaders of the strikers had
resolved to preach the gospel OF armed
resistance and the overthrow Of autoc-
racy, but that it did not carry with it
a threat Of pillage or any attack on
property. The police have not yet
been able to locate Father Gopon,
though they are searching for him
everywhere. His whereabouts is known
to only half a dozen trusted lieuten-
ants, through whom he issues orders.

shoemakers Once We're weII Paid,

Ihlrty years ago, when all shoes
were made by hand, the shoemaker
earned fair salary of from s12 to
SIG per week. Every shoe shop had
from five to ten shoemakers working.
Shoes and boots cost from $s to SIS,
and they received much more repair.
ing than do the shoes OF to-day. Now
girls are working in the factories and
hundreds of good shoemakers are look.
ing for something to eat. over half
OF the shoemakers who formerly
worked in the shops are working at
other lines of business, and making
more money.
A journeyman cobbler seldom makes
more than $S or SO per week.
One may wonder why II is that the
cobbler nearly always finds a mean.
dirty hole to crawl into and to call
it repair shop. The fact is, he can
not AFFORD TO pay much rent. In the
average shoe shop in the good seasons
spring and summer--he can do $4
worth of repairing a day, and not
more than $6 II he works in the night
time. Four dollars per day and six
days week make s2a per week.

Happiness in Spite of Depriyotions.

II am so happy in spite of my depri-

that it is faith, so thoughtful that it
becomes philosophy of life, my testi-

hearing. My optimism does not rest
on the absence of evil. | can say with
conviction that the struggle which
evil necessltates is one OF the greatest
blessings. 1t teaches us that, al
though the world is full of suffering,
1t is full also of the overcoming of it,
My optimism rests on glad belief
in the preponderance of good and a
willing effort always to cooperate with
the good that it may prevail. 1 try to

Russians soaden with Drink.

American Medicine believes that
chronic alcoholism may explain in part
the Japanese victories in Manchuria.
The soldiers of the Mikado are mostly
total abstainers, while observers with
the Russians dwell repeatedly ON the
drunken orgies Of officers and men. The
immortality and drunkenness in Port
Arthur are said to have been so flag
rant as to be beyond description in
European or American journals Ameri-
can Medicine feels, however, that it is
not occasional drunkenness, but habit
ual hard drinking, which does the mis-
chief. 1t declares that the mental de-
terloration of ''old alcoholics" is so
well known TO physicians that public
ignorance in regard to 1t invariably
surprises the medical profession. 1t is
also hopeful that the American nation
will take the lesson of japanese sltc-
cess TO heart and not bestow military
places upon chronic alcoholics, so prone
to false ideas, perverted reasoning
powers, and enfeebled judgments" In
the British navy men who drink are
promptly shelved, however different
the practice in the days of Nelson.
But it will be long time before our
graduates of West Point and Annapolis
are held up to similar standards. Even
though, as American Medicine predicts,
the temperance movement is bound to
win the fight with alcoholism, it will
probably be decades before Abraham
Lincoln's joking wish to supply every
general with the same brand of whls-
key used by General Grant becomes
an illustration of bygone social or
der.-New York Post.

There is no greatness of our ma
