Heard on Change

The common idea that everybody is out of
town is not borne out as far as the stock
exchange goes. On most any week day dur
ing the past week there have been present
at the meetings nearly one-half of the entire
membership of the body
At the height OF the supposed business
season there is seldom more than twenty
five members in attendance. At least that
number would be looked upon as full
turnout One day last week. and no. doubt
the record has been fully equal other
days. there were eighteen members follow
ing the call of the stocks.
Toward the end of the week It must be
admitted that the room has somewhat of a
deserted appearance when the hour of
meeting arrives. Friday this condition be-
comes noticeable and Saturday It is still
more SO, and no doubt it largely this
fact that led the exchange during the past
week to vote to do away with the Saturday
session during the, coming month.
The end-of-the-Week holiday seems to be
a popular one among the brokers, although
constructiveiy most of them are away at
some of the northern resorts. In point OF
fact. however, they TO be found in
some cases sticking close to business and
finding recreation to some- extent in seeing
how the fishing is at some of the clubs up
the river. or perhaps running over to At
iantic City
Or course, there are men who are really
away, and for weeks together. Sometimes
this class is called the solid financiers be-
cause, as the heads Of financial institutions
and in other ways they are supposed to con-
troll good deal of money. 1t is possible
however. for business to go on, at least on
the exchange, in their absence. as the rec
ord of the past month fully shows.
Still they are missed, and every once in a
while one Of them comes back and some one
else goes away, and so the circle is one that
Is constantly changing. In the meantime
the interest in the various securities seems
to be maintained by those who dabble in the
market. There is idea that the summer
is a good time to buy stocks for then, as
the impression is, the market is a dull one,
the conclusion is reached that there Is a
likelihood of being able to pick up snaps.
The character of the summer trading has
therefore features peculiar to itself and to
the season, but that such trading exists is
proved to be the case. In tie more active
stocks on the list there has been actual ad-
vance this month compared with prices
that prevailed duEing the previous month.
have been sufficient to attain an advance
and then to accomplish recession.
On the whole business on the exchange
during the hot period is, not without it's
activities and without its men to direct and
guide and then, incidentally, gather in the
commissions.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT

NEW YORK, July D-The Ffnancier SAYS
this week:
The striking features of the Official state
ment of the New York associated banks
last week were an expansion of loans and
an Increase In deposits to the maximum Of
the year and an augmentation in the cash
reserve to within about $1,000. 600 of the
highest thus far recorded in 1905. The loan
expansion of SIS. .4S0, 70O-to a total 81 TAI 300
In excess OF the previously recorded maxi
mum Tor the year on February 11-was ex-
pected as the result of the concentration in
the banks of balances of trust companies,
which institutions because of inability to
place their funds at call at a better rate
than they were receiving from the bank de-
positories. left such money undisturbed and

JApAN's CONSTITUTION.

important Difference Between 1t ana
Constitutions Of Western Nations
There is an important difference be-
tween the constitutions of western ma
tons and that of Japan. The former
are the outcome OF popular uprisings
against the tyranny of rulers-in other
words, Of a demand, as Of natural
right, by the people. Consequently,
even in monarchical Europe, constitu-
tons are drawn in such terms as to lay
the greatest stress upon popular rights,
while, at the same time, curtailing the
power of the sovereign. The Japanese
constitution, on the other hand, ema-
mated from the Emperor, the fountain
head of all power. Before the people
dreamed of popular rights or Of par
lament, the Emperor had already
marked out the grand policy of estab-
fishing constitutional government in
the future, because of his evident de-
sire and purpose to elevate the coun-
try to an equal place among the civil
lied nations of the world, not only be-
cause he wished it. but also because
that course was in strict accordance
with the national policy bequeathed by
his imperial ancestors. Following that
policy, our constitution was drawn up
with close adherence to and careful
preservation Of the fundamental prin-
ciple of the imperial government from
time immemorial.
In form, however, 1t is similar to
western constitutions, with this differ
ence, that the text Of our constitutions
contains only the fundamental princi-
pies Of State, namely, the prerogatives
OF the Emperor; the rights and duties
OF the people; the powers of Parlia-
nnent; the powers and duties of minis
tiers of state and judiciary and finance.
These are all embodied in seventy-six
articles. Matters of detail, such, for
example, as provisions relating to the
rules and proceedings Of Parliament,
the laws for the election Of members,
the national budget, ETC., are separated
from articles enunciating fundamental
principles, and are embodied in laws
supplementary to the constitution and
enacted at the same time.-Baron

Watchfu1 of the Conduct of Street Lads
Under Their Auspices.
1t is sad day when member OF
the Toledo Newsboys' Association goes
wrong, and it is especially sad for the
boy. The detective work under the
system adopted by the association is SO
thorough that the wrongdoer is quick
ly brought to cover.
A few Of the new members of the
association are inclined to follow the
methods adopted by some men of get.
ting rich in hurry, and when a quar-
ter or more is given, the boy is at
times tempted to run away, little real
izing that 1t is next to impossible to
hide his theft. Happily. however, such
cases are rare, and it is seldom a car
rier goes wrong.
A few days ago a lady on Adams
street gave carrier a new dollar bill
for two weeks delivery Of a local pa
per. The youngster, a boy of IL, took
the money to get change, and did not
return. The case was at once brought
to the attention of Mr.. Gunckel The
name Of the boy could not be given.
but the style Of his hat and color of
necktie and shirt was sufficient de-
scription for the watchful eyes of the
officers Of the association who were set
to work on the case.
The Executive Committee was noti-
fed, and in three days the boy was
found. He was told that he must 90
to the woman, apologize for what he
had done and pay her what he owed
her. 1t was bitter dose. but it had
to be swallowed. After it was all over
the little fellow said: II am glad now
l went to the lady and Strengthened it
all up, for the stealing of that dollar
worried me SO couldn't sleep. / win
never again be dishonest"
The boy is bright lad, and the
temptation to take what did not be.
long to him grew out Of evil associa-
ton, as he said when charged with
the theft that "other boys did it."
Mr.. Gunckel is determined to break
up this bad habit and is being backed
by the officers Of the association and
the large per cent of the members who
realize that such an act brings dis
grace to the association, = Toledo

To Grow stone Pine Trees.

The bureau of plant industry of the department of agriculture will bring to the United States for propagation in California and Oregon young plants of tine European stone pine, says the Washington Post. This tree, scientif- ically called Plnus pinea, spoken of in the Old Testament, grows in southern Europe, being particularly pientifnk in Greece and Italy. It bears a small, delicious nut that is used all over Flu rope by bakers and confectioners. The local consumption of the stone pine nut is rapidly increasing, just as it is in other eastern cities, and to keep the trade at home the department of agri- culture will introduce the trees in the United States.

Jacques q
VAUDEVILLE.

Few bills that have ever been of
 fered at the Jacques have won such
 instant favor as that which is now
 running at the little theater and the
 answer is easy, few bills offered at
 the playhouse have been as good and
 the public knew the fact before 6
 o'clock Monday afternoon. Every
 number on the play card has scored q
 personal success and the enthusiasm
 displayed at every performance is
 most remarkable. Carmencita, who Is
 making her first appearance here, has started the wave of popularity. Her way and her dances, which are decid- ed novelties to the average theater- goer, are creating fine impression.
 Her dance mantilla is a splendid bit of grace and she and her assistant. Mile Aurora. swing through the meas ures of La Paloma with the most de lightful abandon. Everyone expected Pat Rooney and Marion Bent to make life sized hit, bur the anticipations of their friends have been exceeded. Their dancing and singing sketch. Make Yourself at Home" has taken on additional charm since it was seen here last and it goes with a dash that takes the audience by storm. Mir Rooney Is giving a good deal more of his popular dancing than hitherto and the only thing about it is that the peo- pie fin the chairs never seem to have enough Miss Bent has also devel. oped into a charming terpsichorean ex- pert and her personal attractiveness Is as great as ever. The mere men tion of the other acts on the program is not sufficient to convey an idea of their excellence. for they must be seen to be appreciated Nothing but the most fattering praise can he giv- en Miss Julie Ring and her company. Fields and Wooley. Paul Stephens. ROchez's dogs and ponies. and Miss Avery Strakosch. Prices are 10. 20 and 90 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

of hand substitution trick with the snuffboxes to Save the life of the em. peror.
 This fact she blurts out between des- perate and nerve racking sneezes. iI the course of which she tries to ex- press her scorn of the emperor r.. sus- pecting her of an attempt on his life when she had in reality saved his life by the substitution.
 Such is the climax of the new four act play by the author of "Zaza."
 Viola Allen has pleasing drama in "The Toast of the Town" by Clyde Fitch, now at Daly's theater. The play has been based by Mir. Fitch on his for mer play, "AIistress Betty" written for Helena Modjeska.
 In it's new form the play is a bright, rippling comedy that should prove profitable vehicle for Miss Allen throughout the season.
 What Miss Allen aecomplishes with the play is another matter. It is doubt ful if in the last two years this usually delightful star has twinkled in firma- ment less capable of rehecting her rays. As Mistress Betty Singleton, ac- tress. who later becomes the Duchess of Malmesbury. she is called upon to rise to dramatic heights which prove too high to permit her to carry conyic- tion over the footllghts. It is true that Mir. Fitch had moderated the intensity of his scenes. but. low as these histrl. onic hurdles are. Miss Allen fails to clear them.
 It is only in the lighter comedy pas sages that she develops that sparkling spontaneity which makes her work a yeritable delight.

From Our New York Dramatic Corre-
 spondent.l
 In La Belle Marseillaise," by the talented Frenchman, Pierre Berton, Virginia Harmed has historical drama that interests without impressing nightly. The acting of Miss Harmed is not all times satisfying, and her company does not rise adequately to meet the demands of the play.
 La Belle Marseillaise" is a Napole- onic drama with plenty of action. The unacceptable playing of the role of Ma poleon by Vincent Serrano is serious defect in the presentation.
 One is frequently impressed with the fact that Miss Harned's role is not well suited to her, although, of course, there are moments when her talents find ex- pression in some telling periods. One of these occurs at the end of the try ing scene which closes the third act. In the earlier scenes, however, she is an unconvincng ingenue, and too often later on her acting lacks spontaneity and the right vein of Gallic sprightli- ness.
 Vincent Serrano's Bonaparte is a crude characterization, and William Courtenay as Captain Roger Crisenay, the hero, is almost equally disappoint- ing. Stanley Dark does small part justice as Fouche, chief of police, ! It the remainder of the cast are little above the level of routine.
 Just before the curtain falls on the last act Miss Harmed takes three pinches of supposedly poisoned snuff to prove that she had no designs up- on the life of Napoleon She alone of those in the play knows that the box containing the poisoned snuff is repos- ing harmlessly in the bosom of her own dress, she having performed a sleight

ION THE BRIDGE AT MIDNIGHT


 A remarkable union of a fine play with brilliant scenic achievements, "On the Bridge at Midnight" is to be seen here Saturday afternoon and evening. Klimt and GazzoIo spent fortune on the famous reproduction of the Chicago jackknife bridge alone and the rest of the play is dressed out as carefully. But they were well aware that the play is the thing and the result is that the scenery, with all its excellence, is only a fine detail of a story of deep interest, originality and plenty of romance, humor and pathos. In order to present the pro duction as 1t should be Klimt and Gazzolo have secured an unusually competent company, including clever comedians. The marked success of the play gives it the stamp of unques- tionable merit and will undoubtedly be one of the best attractions of this season. There is certainty nothing on the road like the bridge scene in striking interest and perfection of de- tail. Prices are 20, B and 90 cents; matinee, 9 cents.

THE FLAMING ARROW"

To-night's offering at Polls is spIen- didly staged and has many thrilling accompaniments, such as four frisky, bucking bronchos, United States sol diers, scouts, cowboys, and in fact ev- erything pertaining to production of the far west. The story deals with a treacherous Mexfcan's attempt to force Colonel Fremont's daughter. Mary, to marry him. She is rescued by her Indian lover and brought back to the stockade in the last act when all hope of her recovery has been abandoned. Lincoln J. Carter has giv- en the play setting unusually sump- tuous, even for him, some of the scenes being wonderfully effective and true. Prices are 9, 35 and 90 cents.
