BIG JOHN ANDERSON
HAS NOT REPORTED

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 2 Big
John Anderson. the New York out
fielder who was to report TO the Wash
ington team yesterday, Is still among
the missing.
Manager Stahl had talk with him
yesterday over the telephone, and An
derson promised to be on hand today,
but later he gave out an interview In
New York in which he said he would
not be sold Ike human chattel. He
wired positively refusing to join the
Capital aggregation. and he also said
he was considering several offers to
handle independent teams. If none of
them appealed to his fancy, he would
quit baseball
1t is not thought the big fellow will
last long on such a high perch The
Washington officials expect him to en-
ter their fold IN a few days.
Stahl said this morning that he
thought Rothgeb. the University of
Illinois outf1elder. was already in
Washington and would Join the team
at practice on Tuesday.
Nothing Is known here of the report
that Shaughnessy, who was hired out
to Washington this spring. had signed
with the Coatesville. Pa. an indepen-
dent team He was supposed TO be
with Birmingham and If he is In the
Pennsylvania town IT Is q complete

NEW YORK. June 2.-The stock mar
kst opened with reaotionary tendency
this morning. Canadian Pacific and
smelters lost IL points. but the latter

Central and Steel preferred were off

After a few minutes the market was
heavy. The bond market was indif-
ferent.
The dominant influence appeared to
be the discussion of the Equitable Life
report. which disturbed speculative
sentiment in many quarters London $
sales in the first hour amounted to
about Il. 0oa shares. Union Pacific was
well supported on the decline. and the
buying was considered of tho very best
character London was a large seller
of 1t. There was only d narrow market
for United States Steel preferred dur
ing the first hour, and the price de-
ciined.
Although the State tax on stock trans
actions went into effect today it did
not enter into market calcuia tions to
any extent. and was only SPOKEN. of in
connection with the wording of pro-
tests to be sent to the State colnptroll-
er.

NEW YORK, June 2-Extremely
weak cables from Liverpool started
considerable selling in the local cotton
market this morning and prices broke
violently. The offerings were particu-
larry large from the traders identified
with the leading Wall Street operator,
in addition to which New Orleans in
terests were heavy sellers. A cable
from Liverpool stated that a reduction
of IL per cent in the area was generally
expected there with condition of II
or q and that the crowd was selling
on the prospect
After the call some Of the local short
accounts Were withdrawn. giving the
market a steadier appearance.
The early break carried near months
off to a net decline OF about Is TO 20
points, with the general range IS to g
points lower, following which the mar
ket did better on active covering for
profits ahead of the crop report and
buying orders on & scale down, while
there was also considerable support,

REVEALED THE TRUTH.

0ovv the Facts Ia . VIII Forgery
Case Were BrosEht Out.
In his capacity ~ Judge Lord Bramp-
ton always insisted on the imperative
demand that every case should be in
vestigated In it's minutest details. Up
on small points the great issue Of q
case depends. AS exemplifying this
Lord Brampton cites a curious case
that came before him on the western
circuit:
"A solicitM was charged with fOrg-
ing the will II a lady, which devised
to him considerable amount Of her
property, but as the case proceeded It
became clear to me that the will was
signed after the lady's death and then
with dry pen held in the hand Of the
deceased by the accused himself while
he guided 1t over signature which he
had craftily forged. A woman was
present when this was done, and as
she had attested the execution Of the
VIII she was a necessary witness for
the prisoner, and In examination in
chief she was very clear indeed that 1t
was by the hand Of the deceased that
the will was signed and that she her
self had seen the deceased sign 1t.
Suspicion only existed as to what the
real facts were until this woman went
into the box. and then scene highly
dramatic occurred in her cross exami-
nation. After getting an admission
that the will was signed in the bed.
with the prisoner near by, the woman
was asked:
"'Did he put the pen into her handT
eyes"
".And assist her while she signed the
willr
".Yes.'
How did he assist her?
"'By raising her in the bed and sup
porting her when he had raised her.
"'Did he guide her hand?'
"'No.'
Ibid he touch her hand at ALP
~ think he did just touch her hand
When he did touch her hand was
she dead:'
"At this last question the woman
turned terribly pale, was seen to fall
ter and fell in swoon on the ground
and SO revealed the truth. which she
had come>to deny."-London Mail.

RICE TABLE.
The Principal Dish At the Midday
Meal In Java.

The Principal Dish ut the Midday
Meal In Java.
In Java, as In most really warm coun-
tries. 1t is customary to rise early and
to take cup Of tea or coffee, together
with biscuit and some fruit, imme-
diately on leaving ones bed. This is
followed by more substantial break
fast, but the first really serious meal is
served at half past II o'clock and Is
the equivalent Of the French ''dejeuner
a la fourchette" or the Anglo-1ndian
thin. This meal is called rice table
"rystafeP'-from the principal dish, a
very elaborate curry. in the preparation
Of which the Malay cooks are especial
~ skillful.
The popularity of the rice table con-
sists in the number and variety Of
dishes presented. From these dishes
the guest has to select the materials
which, together with the rice upon the
soup plate before him, are to consti-
tute his curry. 1t is also as we'll to
know beforehand that one is not re-
quired to lunch solely on curry, but
that the rice table is succeeded by
courses Of ordinary luncheon dishes.
It is case. therefore, Of "embarras de
richesses."
The second danger is that of making
up ones curry mot wisely, but too
WELL" and leaving neither appetite
nor capacity for the beefsteak or for
any Of the other solid dishes which
subsequently appear and which under
these circumstances only produce a
feeling Of mingled horror and conster-
nation. 1t is then that one suddenly
realizes that the rice table is merely a
sort Of tremendous "hors d'oeuvre."
There are two dangers to be avoided.
In the first place. 1t is quite possible,
In spite of the number of the dishes
presented singly, to say nothing Of an
octagonal tray containing separate
chutney in each of it's nine compart-
ments. to get no lunch at all, for moth
ing is easier than after saying "nein"
to succession Of frivolous compounds
to dismiss the one solid and palatable
dish.-Pearson's.
