NEW YORK.

While total transactions were heavier
yesterday than In Tuesdays market.
the general volume of business was ex-
tremely small, the greater part of the
dealings being supplied by Amaigamat-
ed Copper American Smelling. Pennsyl-
vania, Reading, Southern Pacific, I'm
ion Pacific, the United States Steel
shares. and st. Paul In the last named
issue trading amounted to oue-fifth of
the business in all stocks, but the ac-
tivity IN the security was not accom-
panied by news developments affecting
the st. Paul property. although there
We're various runaors regarding the fu-
ture Of the company. While the de-
cline in the Steel shares exerted an un-
favorable influence on the general list,
1t failed to attract important liquida-
ton, selling representing, a rule, the
operations of the board room element.
There Were no important changes in
the money and foreign exchange mar
kets. while there were no developments
in the general financial situation OF
sufficient weight to affect securities val
ues The local banks have lost a large
amount OF money In the current week
on their operations with the subtreas-
ury, but there is nothing In the none
tary situation TO suggest the proba
bility Of q material change in loan quo
tations in the near future.

Room Traders Exaggerate
Canal Supply Incident.
Important Interests, However, Give
Large Buying Orders in All
Leading Issues.

NEW YORK. May 1S.-Ihe opening
prices in the stock market were lower.
Steel common was down 4 to u; pre-
ferred won Is TO q St. Paul down Il to
Il up Union Pacific was down Is to Il.
Amalgamated Copper lost Is. Northern
Pacific fell l per cent. Trading else
where was light.
The room traders, with few excep-
tons. intensified and exaggerated the
statements made in regard TO the Pan
anna canal supplies into immense i'm
portanee and they conducted bear oper-
atoms on a scale that would hardly be
justified by an absolute change of the
Government policy of the tariff. A half
oossn OF the most active traders sold
over 90. 600 shares chiefly iron and steel
shares, in the first half hour and the
declines then resulting caused feeling
Of uneasiness among outside operators
over what seemed to them a prospec-
i've reopening of the tariff question.
There was the same effort to create
uHeasinesS in London where the steel
shares We're sold before our opening.
AfDltFage brokers here in turn sold 10 GOO
steel and 5000 preferred in the first few
minutes. Brokers active in the trading
said there was the best kind of buying,
the most important interests having
large buying orders in all the leading
issues which could be construed either
as support against bear raids or as alb
Solute accumulation of stock.
Content was a heavy seller of Anal
gamated Copper on the decline to 82ss,
but the demand for the stock was large
enough to take all that he or any one
else offered.
Lendon's sales of United States Steel
common IS estimated at 20 coo shares,
Wolf Brothers sold between 1e,000 and
1900. The buying was by Henry Clews
and traders generally. Houses with

Accent ON the operatic stage.

No Englishman with daughters could
do rasher thing than permit them to
take lessons from eminent professors
with view of going on the stage. The
opera stage in England scarcely ex-
lists. AT COvent Garden a woman who
can speak good English can only get
in by force of social influence, and
abroad foreigner has very great diff
fculty because she cannot speak or
sing with a perfect accent The for
eign lady Or gentleman comes across
here and on occasion will venture to
sing in English, and their mistakes
bring nothing more than a smile to the
faces of the audience. But let an Eng
lish singer go to France or Germany,
and something totally different hap
pens.
In 1897 Tamagno sang at Monte Car
10 before an audience which was main
ly French. He mispronounced a word,
and peal of derisive laughter covered
even his stentorian notes. In Brussels

because some of his vowels were not
quite pure = Brussels, where their

The barn, horse stable, tool shed and
granary belonging to Peter Fox near the
Medina creamery were destroyed by fire
on Tuesday evening. Seven horses are
reported to have persisted in the flames.
Mr. Fox did not learn of the fire until

caught fire but was extinguished before
doing much damage.

Cambridge

Charles Frye, young man about %
years of age, residing on the old E E
Warne farm two miles north of this viii
lage, died on Monday and the funeral
was held Wednesday.
VIM Leonard came down from Viroqua
last Friday and remained until Monday
visiting old friends in Cambridge. Three
years ago Mr. Leonard moved with his
family up into Vernon county and this
was his first visit back here, where he
resided for number of years, since he
moved away.
Lewis Benson moved his family from
the town Of Oakland, where he al
ways resided, into the village o. Gam
bridge last Saturday, where they are now
nicely settled in w B Telyea's house.
Mr. Benson will remain resident of
Oakland for time yet, as he is obliged
to be at his Oakland creamery for a
month or so before becoming perma-

The sugar beet delivery began in earn
est this week. On Monday there was re-
ceived at this station 1913 tons; Tuesday
$50 tons; Wednesday 152 tons, and
Thursday 140 tons. When you stop for
moment and consider what this means
in dollars to the growers and that the
delivery at this rate will continue for a
month more, you can form some idea of
what the industry has grown to be in
this neighborhood.

No Confederate Supreme Court.


1T is a curious fact said New Or
leans man, that the Confederate con-
gress never created supreme court.
The matter was before the Richmond
congress, but no statute was ever
passed authorizing such tribunal.
1T was in a debate over this very
topic in the Confederate senate that the
personal encounter between Ben Hill
Of Georgia and William L. Yancey of
Alabama occurred. The senate was in
executive session. The Georgia sena-
tor was speaking in favor of the crea-
ton of court of last resort whose
powers should in a way be limited.
Yancey locked on this idea with dis
favor, and during the course of Hills
remarks he interrupted with the insult
ing statement that Hill had given ut
terance to lie. No sooner had he used
the offensive word than Hill, picking
up an inkstand, hurled it with great
force at his defamer. The glass struck
Yancey over the eye, inficting a severe
wound, but doing him no permanent
injury, although stories were long cur
rent that the blow finally caused his
death. '-Washington Post

Blue and Gray Tobacco Smoke

Did you ever notice while enjoying
your favorite cigar that the smoke that
curls up from the burning end of the
weed is blue, while that exhaled
from the mouth is of a whitish gray :?
The explanation of this oddly is not
far to seek. The wreath from the fiery
end of the cigar is in the shape of in
finitesimal dust particles, and all such
particles (even the blue of the atmos-
phere is explained in the same way re-
fleet the blue color. In the case of the
exhaled smoke the fine particles have
united with the moisture of the breath
and have thereby become several folds
larger than those escaping direct from
the burning tobacco. This being the
case, they have become large enough
to reflect the white light, which gives
the exhaled smoke an entirely different
color

His Love Was His Ruin.

When Hannibal had crossed the Alps
into Italy he established himself in
winter quarters in one of the finest
houses in Capua. While walking one
day in the garden he heard a sweet
voice near at hand Struck by the
charm of it's tones, he sent for the
singer and became so enamored of
her that he at once attached her to his
household and disposed Of her hapless
husband by beheading him. Retribu-
ton quickly followed this outrage. The
balance of the winter was devoted to
pleasure. Drill and discipline were
neglected, and as spring came on the
Carthaginian army was so demoralized
that it's prestige was lost, and the
downfall of Hannibal followed.
