MARKET SAGGED
WHOLE SESSION
Leading Stocks Declined
Fractionally.
FEW OVER ONE PER CENT
American Locomotive Holds Leadership
Among Industrials All Day-Rally
After Bank Statement.

NEW YORK, Oct. There was to-
day the usual Saturday absence OF
money market and the almost equally
usual absence OF actual dealings from
London. The opening was heavy and
the sagging tendency continued almost
throughout the session. There was more
nominal sentiment and less actual
change in ownership. Leading stocks
declined for the most part fractionally;
only few lost over per cent. Reading
was among the number. yet after the
close of business, looking over the whole
list, remembering the tape as it struck
one while watching. the average mind re-
ours to one stock only. That stock was
as active as any 1t was remarkably
strong and made n high record for at
least many months.
Amerian Locomotive stocks opened un-
changed and ruled strong in the first few
. minutes. IT held the leadership all day.
II had maximum gain of 3;4 per cent
and closed substantially i,t the best. The
preferred rose sympathetically ia per
cent. The market rallied a little. afrer
the bank statement, but closed irregular
and quiet, although Locomotive and
United States Cast Iron Pipe were at
the best. The feature of the bond mar
ket was the unusual strength of the
Mexican Central first and second in
comes. Government bonds unchanged

stock Of the Lanston Monotype Com
pany. of which ]. Maury Dove is the
president. will see the light OF day early
next year
Inis statement is made upon the au-
tnority of gentleman on the friendli-
est possible terms with Mr.. Dove; one
whose veracity cannot be called in Ques-
tion, and In whose presence. II not di-
rectiy to him. Mr.. Dove gave the as
surance that the dividend will be de-
ciared at the meeting Of the board OF
directors in January.
inquiry regarding the purpose of the
company to pay this dividend brought
out the further information that the
promised action of the directory is due
TO the representations made by several
OF the largest stockholders. that, In
their opinion. the frequently repeated
promises Of dividend ought to be kept
now. because Of the general good busi-
ness or the company and especially be-
cause OF the large accession Of cash
arising from the sale Of the seventy-two
machines to the Government Printing
ofnce. These considerations are said to
nave been urged with so much force as
10 impel Mr.. Dove TO give the assur-
ance OF responsive favorable action on
the part Of the board Of directors.
Just what the dividend will be has
not, OF course, been divulged. and It is
doubtful IL that point in the determine
tfon OF the question has yet been reach
ed oy those In authority. It IL believed,
however. that It will be somewhere
around per cent. and it is also as
sumed that 1t Will become q permanent
feature Of the company's financial oper-
ations.
There are hundreds OF holders of Lans-
Ton Monotype stock to whom all this
VIII be most welcome news. for In spite
OF the promise Of a dividend. 80 often
made and as often broken, their faith
In the ultimate dividend-paying capac-
ity OF the stock has remained unshaken.

To me it is incredible that these children are made strong and healthy, while the girls in a London school for want of food are unable, to the tune of eighty per cent. to take part in a new scheme of drill which
 had, perforce. to be- abandoned. Am pie evidence was produced by heads of schools that the mental powers of the children were enfeebled by want of food, and the whole situation was summed up by Sir Lauder Brunton when he said, in answer to an economic objection, that there is no more danger in feeding children physically than there is in feeding them, mentally" 4

 After long minutes, signal came up from the smoking depths. The station ary engine was started, and the bucket rose, holding four blackened, half-suf- located men.
 Again the signal was given and again the bucket rose with four other men, and one of them gasped out: For heavens sake. lower away! quick, Tom Reed is roastingI"
 The bucket flew down the shaft from which iurid heat gusts now came with the smoke.

 The bucket flew to the surface envel- oped in flame. A cry of horror burst from the throats of strong men, and Kitty Mims fell, fainting, beside the blackened. 6llstered form that was snatched from the mouth of the pit.

AN EXPERT JUDGEMENT.

Senator Bard was complimented by having majority of the senators throng about him when he had deliv- cred his set speech on the statehood bill this afternoon, and they shook his hand cordially. On the democratic side there were Senators Stewart and Teller in conversation while he was talking. Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, sat alone, listening; Pettus and Cockrell all the while were engaged in serious and animated though subdued colloquy. Otherwise every member was attentive.
 Senator Beveridge appeared more clerical Hooking than before. His som- bre suit of black, the long frock coat they still call it a "Prince Alberto in ssissippi--hanging far below his knees, and the blyack tie shining as Ia crows wing, moved solennly about. His strides seemed to be measured, while his countenance portrayed grav- ity of thought.
 nIs he the chaplain?" asked a fair visitor. +
 "Oh, dear nos answered her male companion. "Dr. Edward Everett Hale performs that function. The gen. tlenlan is Senator Beveridge."

THE FEEDING OF ENGLISH CHILL.
 DREN AT SCHOOL.

l can testify to the wonderful change in the physique of the children-twelve hundred in number-in the day indus trial schools in Liverpool. In swim ming competitions they have beaten every school in the city time and again, while in cricket, football and other out door games they have been most sue cessful. They all belong to the lowest strata, of society and all live in .slum- dow. Fed three times day by the late school board and now by the Liv- erpool city council, they manifest the benefits of good food regularly supplied.
 Concerning the Manchester schools of the same type, it was stated by a wit ness that of the children who were physically unable to go through course of drill on entry, only two per. cent. remained unfit after few weeks feeding. It was also declared that one could easily pick out the industrial school boy in the ordinary school after his discharge.
 The remarkable feature about the Liverpool children is that, despite the fact that they return at p. m. to their wretched homes, they all escaped being afflicted by recent edidemies of zyrnotic
