Chautauqua Meeting.

With the tap of the presidents
gavel the local Chautauquans came
to order last Sunday afternoon for
the regular bi-weekly meeting in
chapel hall. The calling of the
roll by the secretary disclosed that
several members were absent but
that fact did not materially detract
from what proved to be really
good meeting.
After brief session for the
transaction of routine business the
members present listened to the
reading of four excellent papers,
two of which were of unusual
merit. A pleasant feature of the
session was piano solo by a late
ly acquired member and, if the
spontaneous applause that reward
ed his effort was any criterion, the
diversion was fully appreciated by
his fellow-members.
The literary program had for it's
initial number class report deal

During the month the medical

manently excused by the Deputy
Warden. One pupil was reported
for breach of institutional rules,
but not one was reported for lack
of interest in school work.

Attorney General Young reiter-
ates that Good Friday is legal
holiday so far as commercial paper
is involved. Good Friday and
Thanksgiving were included in a
law passed by the recent legisla-
ture for the purpose of correcting
a measure adopted in 1903. This
law was an; amendment of the law
of 1897, abolishing days of grace.
The 1897 law provided for the pre-
payment of commercial paper
when it fell due on legal holiday.
The 1903 law changed this to
make the payment on the day
after, and in enumerating the legal
holidays of such, omitted Good
Friday and Thanksgiving. The
1905 law was drafted so as to in
clude those two5days.
The legal holidays established
by law, are: Lincoln's birthday,
Washington's birthday, Memorial
day, Labor day, New Year, Christ
mas, general election day, Fourth
of July and Thanksgiving.
The statutes indirectly recognize
Good Friday and Sunday.

paper on the distribution Of
Labor
The author unconsciously, per-
haps, but none the less surely
courted charge of being incon-
sistent by announcing that he was
not socialist and then proceeding
to expound socialistic doctrines
sufficiently extreme to bring de-
light to every long-haired disciple
of the cult. For some reason this
paper-altho interesting, and
widely discussed by the members
of the circle-excited the ire of the
critic and that functionary pro-
ceeded to unsheathe his official axe
and go after the author in-as
some of the members thought
quite an warranted manner.
But, of course, a critic is a privi-
legged individual, even if not al
ways infallible, and his official
utterances are wholly exempt from
censure.
The concluding number, and
considered from any viewpoint
by far the best on the program,
was we'll balanced treatise cover
ing certain phases of the immigra-
tion question. It purported to be,
and in fact was, a detailed reply to
the arguments advanced to affirm
the question formally debated be-
fore the circle at'the last preceding
meeting. The author showed
himself to be an analyst of no
mean order and, by a keen, incisive
method of deductive reasoning,
succeeded in puncturing some of
the pet theories advanced by the
advocates of restricted immigra-
ton.
The critic voiced unstinted
praise for the literary excellence
of the last number, and with his
report the meeting adjourned.

Librarians Register.

The librarians report for the
month of April shows that 2,165

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Sept 21.-Today's early
stock market had an appearance of
considerable strength and animation
and special stocks made striking ad-
vances much in the manner of yeSter-
days market. Some constraint devel-
oped in the later operations and the
rate of activity fell away very mater
tally. The marking up of the call
money rate was the potential influence
i'm this result. Deals and rumors of
deals played a large part in the princi-
pal movements of the day which were
in stocks supposed to be in the hands
of pools or susceptible readily to ma
nipulation Both Canadian Pacific
and Reading were prominent features
during the day. Publication of the
Reading annual report proved the
high earning power OF that road but 1t
was obvious that previous operations
in the stock We're based on knowledge
of the facts of the report Louisville
and Nashville was also brought into
prominence The question of the lodge
ment of control of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton was settled by
the official announcement that the
Erie was the purchaser but the Erie
stocks were conspicuously exempt
from the days demand. Rumor con-
tinued very active with the alleged
project of a new issue of Great North
ern preferred TO the present Stockhold-
ers and st. Paul figured in rumor
of impending issue of $25,000.G00 Of
authorized stock with subscription
privileges to stockholders. Many of
the days active movements are thus
seen to be traceabe to individual
causes. The money market again
demonstrated that its actual position
is growing independent of the condi-
lions of the clearing house banks.
Rates for call money were firm and
higher although time loans were called
somewhat easier, the demand for that
kind of accommodation having sub
sided somewhat The detention of the
Bank of England rate was favorable
factor in today's market as it had been
quite commonly expected that 1T would
be advanced in order to shift New
York demand for gold upon Paris. A
renewed fall in foreign exchange here
resulted, but the decline was not suf-
ficient to reach the point of profit for
further engagement of gold for i'm
port. The irregular tone of the later
market continued up to the close.
