A Point on Receipted Bills.


Peter Steffens, respondent, VS.. Mamie
E.. Nelson ct al, defendants, respondents;
Mamie E. Nelson and George w. Nelson,
appellants.
An itemized bill, marked as paid, is a
receipt for the items contained in that bill.
The substance of estoppel is the induce
ment to another to act to his prejudice;
the substance of ratification is confrma-
ton after conduct.
If a husband ratify the act Of his wife
in signing a receipt in mis- name without
authority, he ratification extends to the
natural use Of that receipt, including its
production to the debtor as evidence Of
payment, altho the check given in pay
ment of the debt, Endorsed by the princi-
pal after such use of the receipt, is not in
fact paid.
The judgment appealed from is at
irmed, except as to the plaintiff Steffens
and the defendants Delamater & Son.

YEsTERDAY's STOCK MARKET.
Heaviness and IrreguIaFity Ascribed to
 Several Circumstances

Several Circumstances
 New York, Aug. 2S.-The heaviness land irregularity of to-day's stock mar
 ket may be ascribed to several circum- tstanees. any one of them more or less plausible, if not entirely logical. Our market and those abroad derived but
 scant comfort from the situation at Portsmouth, while further pretext to
 sell here was found in the latest de-
 mands of the head of the anthracite
 miners union and the widely heralded
 utterances of a New England operator
 who to-day resumed his attacks upon | the copper stocks. It is noteworthy | that the coal shares and Amalgamated Copper were materially lower. To the
 foregoing conditions should be added
 decided tendency to the hardening of
 money rates and further drain by the
 west upon local financial resources. The reaction to-day apparently had the
 tacit, if not the open, sympathy of l strong interests, as was shown in the 1 absence of support at the most critical stages of the early session, In spite of
 contrary statements, it is now the opinion of observant bankers that the
 years crop requirements from this cen-
 ter will be quite as large, if not larger, than last year. *s5A, N
 1 While there is as yet no ground for ithe belief that banks are likely to ad- vance money rates abruptly, it Is be- llieved that money for speculative pur- poses will be offered less freely. Initial
 prices throughout the active list were lower. On the other hand, gains were made by Metropolitan Street Railway, Metropolitan Securities, Sugar and Pa citic Coast, the latter making a new | high record.
 1 The list rallied feebly in the first hour such support as the market re- Eceived coming from the western houses. l Operators tested the market by switch ling from one group to another, but, Eftnding little demand for their offerings, turned sellers again, the list going low Ger than at the opening. One of the flew conspicuous exceptions was Repub- lie Iron and Steel preferred, which ad- vaneed on news of the resumption of dividends, and was taken by commits sion houses hitherto prominent in that issue. T 2 & ;
 The absence of any marked selling pressure steadied the market in the early afternoon, but. the trading then became rnofe$narrow and dull. Buying of Union Pacific, which sent it above Saturdays closing, attracted some att tention among traders, who followed the movement with purchases of Read ing and other active issues until many Of the early declines had been recover ed. The closing was firm, an inf1uenc- ing factor being the news that Japan had agreed to waive her claim to in demnity, and a return of call money to last weeks easy rates. y
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par value, $2,5S5,O0O
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

THE OBJECT OF EDUCATION.

AT It's Asbury Park On. j. meeting;
this year the National Education AS
sociutiun adopted the following rcso-
luton: The ultimate object of pnpu.
lar education Is To teach the childrc,
how 10 live righteously, hcalthily and
happily, and that to accomplish this
object il is essential that every school
fnculcatc the 1--we Of truth. justice.
purity ana beauty through lnr study
Of biography, history, ethics, natural
history, music, drawing and manual
arts"
The association also declared that
IT regretted The revival in some quar-
tors Of the idea that the common
school Is Il place for teaching nothing
but reading. spelling, writing and
ciplicring. which causes the estccricu
Baltimore Sun ~ say: III lhcrp
is any such idea revived we
have not heard of il. But
there is certainly an idea among
sensible people that the public schools
should not teach Typography, history

ing ami manual arts until They havu
some instruction in reading, writing,
spelling AMI ciphcrinr."
The most serious defect in the pre-.
sent system Of education is touched
upon in the foregoing. Considered ai
n Whole little fault can lie found will
the course Of study designed for pu
pills entering the first grade and :;uin,
through the lIigh school. AS Il matter
OF fact, however, not one pupil in ten
docs that. and the interests of those
who pGriOrcc must drop ont OF schOOI
long before tie whole course is com.
plctcd are sacrificed To the interests
OF that very small number Uf pupil,
who are able to 20 through the on
tire system OF schools. Without inn
pairing the system in any essential
point, strong effort should be made
to give more attention to those stu
dents who cannot take The entire
course and whose educational advant-
ages will end with the foundation
given i'll the erammcr schools. In.
less that foundation is good aud sub
stuntial there is little hope for future
acknowledgements.
