NEW YORK.

The supreme dominating factor in the
market situation this week has been the
money question. Each fractional rise in
the prevailing rate for call money has
made its presence felt the stock
market by moDS or less sharp recessions.
and So too, when the loaning rates
temporarily receded, the stock market
has been quick TO reflect the change by
a transient advance The conclusion.
however, is warranted that the condi-
ton of the money market is by no
means critical; that stock operators and
investors are paying far more attention
to the trivial changes in the rates from
day TO day than the instrinsic import
ance OF the subject warrants; and that
in year signaliZed by extraordinary
prosperity in agriculture and in every
department of human enterprise, a mere
temporary hardening of the rates for
money such as is now in progress can
not. In any sense, be deemed vital. What
the market really requires is a fuller
participation by the public, and that will
probably come when the released funds
and the vivifying effects of the garnered
harvests pervade the business world.

Suit Over Sale of Farm in Which seller
Backed Out.

A Labette county real estate deal came
came up to the supreme court yesterday
to be Strengthened out. W. G. Gum. a
real estate agent, sued J. F. Piper and
Mary Piper in the lower court for breach
of contract and damages. He claimed
that the defendants contracted to sell
him their farm for $1,000, and that he
paid $500 down to bind the bargain.
They were to deliver satisfactory alb
stract and deed to the farm on demand
Then Gum set out to find a purchaser.
and succeeded so admirably that in
short time he had arrangements made
to sell the farm for S1O,80O. Then the
Pipers failed to come up with their alb
stract and deed, and also refused to re-
turn the $500. Gum sued for the re-
turn of the $500, for the So, 800 profit on
the deal, which he didn't get, and s15a
expenses in bringing about the sale.
When the case was tried it was found
that there We're no questions of fact in
volved, and the jury was discharged.
The court rendered judgment for Gum
for $500. The Pipers appeal the case to

.ator Warner of Missouri would have
presented the name of some Missouri
veteran. Then there would have been
a contest between the two states and
the two senators for the appointment.
The president decided for Metcalf
without delay.
1t is interesting to recall that Kan
sas has had the position of agent in the
Topeka pension district for twenty
years. In 1885, under President Cleve-
lands first administration. George w.
Click, who had just retired from his
term Of Office as Kansas first Demo-
cratic governor, became agent. He was
succeeded in 1888, under President
Harrison, by the Rev. Bernard Kelly,
now presiding elder of the Methodist
church at Ottawa; and recently a chap
lain in the United States army. In
1893 when Cleveland came in the Sec
ond time. Governor Click again was ap-
pointed. In 1897, under President Nc
Kinley, Cyrus Leland became pension
agent; and was succeeded, under Presi-
dent Roosevelt, by Wilder S. Metca1.
This is a good record for Kansas
There is also another interesting fact
in this connection: Kansas is popularity
supposed to be the leading "Old SOL
diers" state in the union. 1t is true
that it sent probably a. larger quota of
troops into the war of the rebellion, in
proportion to its population, than any
other state; and that thousands of vet
Grams hOcked to the state inm ediately
following the war to take homestead
entries of public land. But in the
number of veterans now living, and
pensioners, the records of General Met
calf's Office show that Missouri leads
Kansas. This is surprising to many, no
doubt.
In what little discussion there has
been over the Topeka agency. and in
the objection made by veterans of the
war of the rebellion to the appoint
ment of General Metcalf, not a word
has been uttered 4derogatory to General
Metcalf, or in criticism to his admin
I istra ton of the Office. His record is a
good one.

ternoon tea. Five meals a day are
served on board, one is an afternoon
tea, at $3.50. 1t is patronized mainly
by women, and only two tables are set.
The women sit about and have a great
time drinking tea and eating waters.
This was my second experience of the
kind: A year ago last summer While
in the North Woods, I attended an af-
teruOOn tea Afterwards I amused the
ladies present by letting the guide
shave me on the porch They said
they never passed a barber shop with
out longing to go in to see the per-
formance- So they sat about while the
guide shaved me, made comments, and
had a good time.

Then what. I wonder?
The lifeboats hanging at the sides
of the ship are all ready for trouble

water. The passengers often discuss
this question: How would the Chi
