For Women Smokers.

From the London Truth
Apropos of some recent remarks of my
contributor ''Madge" on female smokers.
a lady gave me the other day two reasons
against this practice. The first is that
smoking develops the mustache, fact
which she told me is well known by small
boys, and is at once the cause of juvenile
smoking in the one sex, and the alarming
development of ,mustaches In the other.
Secondly, smoking produces, at any rate
in women. "weak-rimmed eyelids," for
which reason, said my informant, In a
mixed assemblage. of women It is easy to
pick out the smokers by the ugly pink
tinge of the eyelid lodges" Assuming the
facts to be accurate, the question still re-
mains whether women will consider them
arguments against the use of tobacco. Are
mustaches and pink eyelids to be consid-
cred Disagreement or an ornament? One
never can tell.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 21.-Today's stock
market showed a continuation of those tell
denotes which have been presented since
Thursday of the present week. There was
a further general. extensive and well-sus-
tanned rise In prices, together with In
creased activity. and much greater activity
or the part of commission houses.
In today's dealings Delaware and Hud-
son and New Jersey Central made fresh
high record prices. and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit advanced to the highest figures at
which II has sold in three years. The last
famed stock was one of the most active
features of the whole market. and It's
course the subject of much conjecture
and discussion.
1t was the common opinion that me
stock was being absorbed for Philadelphia
account. and that the ultimate disposition
OF the property would be found TO be lodged
with either the Pennsylvania or the Long
Island railway
The other local traction shares sympa-
thized today with the strength in Brooklyn
Transit to a larger extent than at any
time recently. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit
per cent bonds also rose to new high
figures.
In the railway list the leading features
We're Southern Pacific and Union Pacific,
both of which stocks advanced on very
were current that a dividend at the rate
OF per cent annually would soon be de-
clared on Southern Pacific.
Strong Railway Features.
Other very strong features of the rail-
way list were New York Central, Reading,
Southern Railway. ST. Paul and Louisville
and Nashville.
The Industrial and miscellaneous stocks
continued exceedingly strong and active
with very heavy dealings in Amalgamated
Copper, American Smelling. the Railway
Equipment stocks. American Wooden and
the United States Steel shares The quar-
terry statement of the last named company
will be issued a week from next Tuesday,
and according to present estimates, net
income of about so, 100000 will be shown.
There was no news of any sort over night.
and as usual on Saturday Transactions in
the money market were without signifi-
canoe. The London market was dull in
advance of the approach of a settlement
next week and operations here for foreign
account were on trifing scale.
The increase in cash shown in the weekly
bank statement was well below all of the
smallest estimates of the gain in cash
reckoned upon. Today's figures showed an
increase. of only s1.7e7 900, the showing be-
ing doubtless the result of the system of
averages employed by the banks In making
up their accounts.
The loan account showed a further con-
traction to the extent of 1854. 900, and the
deposit item decreased s., 29S, 900. In con-
sequence of the other changes, surplus re-
serves increased s2.311 900, and the banks
now hold $12, 10S,O0 in excess of the law
full requirements. Surplus reserves at the
corresponding period in each of the three
preceding years were about $17.SCO.OOO.

told him that he had asked the great en-
gineer why be had adopted the still exist
