SPEAR THROWING CONTEST TO- NIGHT
 by the Igorrotes at Electric Park. Fine snort.
y.r,ou. Physical Exercises

Gardening is excellent for the upper and lower limbs provided, of course. that the work includes the honest use of the spade. The term gardening Is, however, rather vague. Cutting flow CTS and similar firtations with nature may enable one to take pure air. but they are not to be regarded as forms of exercise.
 Downright hard gardeping needs all ways corrective. It tends to make one stoop It is not the sort of thing one would recommend for developing the figure Military drilling or the use of the dumbbells will correct the stoop- ing tendency.
 Rowing is unexcelled for the arms and upper part of the trunk. It is one of the best exercises known when it is carried out with regularity and energy of stroke.
 Let exercises be mixed, Tennis, hockey, golf. rowing. walking, spad" 1uhing, etc. will build up far better physique than any one singly. One ex- ercise tends to correct the faults of carriage brought about by another. Brisk walking helps the entire body.

STREET REVIEW
GENERAL DOWNWARD TENDENCY
 WAS IN EVIDENCE.
Group of industrial specia1ties Excep- ton to General Rule-The Money Market Still . Big
 Factor.

New York, Oct 7.-The weekly bank statement offered a warning Of the small reliance to be placed on ycster- days late decline in the call money rate money market. Speculative sentiment was brought to the conclusion that a stin money market was likely to con- tinue for the immediate future and auence. A group of industrial special ties mostly among the railroad equip ment stocks with American Locomotive a conspicuous leader were notable ex- tendency The movement in these was or professional origin quite largely. but had as substantial basis the extraor- dfnary need of the railroads throughout ties to accommodate the flood of traffic which is coming upon them. The strength of this handful of stocks, how ever. was of little effect in sustaining the general market and the closing was easy at net declines running to point or over for many of the prominent active stocks. The decrease in cash shown by the bank statement ran to the largest of the primary estimates based on the known movement of money. This showing Is regarded as a rectifcation in part of the unexplained though the full amount of the dis crepancy is by no means accounted for. The showing strengthens the supposi- ton that gold engagements have been hguring In bankers reports as soon as made without waiting for their actual receipt. The effect of the decline In cash on the surplus was modified by the scaling down of the deposits through contraction of s1,sS9.400 in outstanding loans. The inroad ,Ipon the surplus was thus limited to $3,153,-
 $50 bringing that item down to s4,- 2S6,175. The loan contraction is be-
 lieved to be due largely to the taking over of loans from the banks by out
 of town institutions which have drawn on their New York deposits for that
 purpose during the week. Total sales Of bonds par value. s1,750,0 900.

Boston Herald
 Al a recent sale of rare coins held at the Collectors Club in New York a silver dollar, minted in 1794 the first year of issue. was sold for $6O.50 Ac eording to the tables of the director of the mint the number of silver dollars coined in the period from 1793 to 1795 at the Philadelphia mint were 204,79l. so that these 1794 cart wheels may not be a great rarity. One sometimes hears 1t said that a person might put away d dollar, or some similar coin, and af- ter long period of years 1t would be Ieetors would pay for it. But if this l7s4 dollar. when 1t was minted. had been put out a compound interest, even as low as 1-2 per cent, 1t would now represent sum in Its accumulations auction. If interest had been com pounded at the legal rate in this State
 -6 per cent.--it would now represent an accumulation in excess of $l,OO0l Internationally money does increase in value with age, from the collectors standpoint, but 1t increases far more rapidly when deposited in an institu- tion for savings where interest Is com pounded.

THE NEWS OF MOBILE
Advertiser Bureau,

Will it be Joseph F. Johnston or B. B. Conner to oppose R. M. Cunningham. or both? was the question discussed by well-known Mobilian, who Is consid- cred an astute problemist in city, coun- ty. State and national politics. While not a politician. he has had large ex- perience and is a man of broad views and wide research. That one or the other of the first named gentlemen will oppose the present Lieutenant-Gove or he felt certain. and, said he. should ex-Govcrnor Johnston make the race. 1t will be an interesting one. There were many in Mobile who were disap- pointed that the President of the Rail- road Commission did not announce at Greenville. Some of these were his friends, while others were friends of the present Governor who wanted to see Conner enter the list as they think he would be an easy mark for his opponent.
 While Major Edward M Robinson has not declared his intention to ask the dear people of Alabama for their franchise at the polls for the Lieuten- ant-Governorship, he will not enter a denial. Some there are, close friends to the brilliant young orator and able attorney, who believe he would be mak- ing too great sacrifice in giving up so much of this time and attention to the large practice he and his partner are fast building up to enter the politi- cal arena. Yet there are others who, confident of his success should he aI- low his name to go before the people, think he will, at the proper time. de- clare himself. The Major. himself, says it is a little too early to talk, as the State primary is far removed and time ample to make the race intervenes.

 On Friday night about o'clock the Louisville and Nashville depot at The odore. thirteen miles from Mobile. was broken into and three new suits of clothes and tickets to Scranton. Miss. taken The two men had been seen around the depot, and it was thought they were the guilty persons. Deputy Nugent was notified to be on the look out for the men and he went to Del champs station to watch. The two deputies learned the men had gone last afternoon to the mill near Alabama Port. and followed them, but failed to locate them. Last night they went into a store at Alabama Port and ran square up on the men. They got the drop on them and placed them under arrest. where they were safe until this morning. when they brought them to Mobile. One had on complete new suit the other q new coat and vest, all of which swered the description given by the depot agent at Theodore.
 Peputy Nugent stated that one of the men during the night asked him what thoy did with a fellow down here for br"aklng in and stealing" Nugent re- piled that some times they were hanged The fellow wilted. The clothes were identified at noon by the depot agent at Theodore, who arrived here on tho 1:a0 q. m. train.
