$1O75 FOR A JERSEY BULL
CALF.
Successful Sale at Hood Farm
Lowell, Mass.

An auction sale of Jerseys and Berk-
shires at Hood farm, Lowell, Mass, on
Wednesday, June 10, was attended by
representative breeders from all parts of
the country, including Oregon, Missouri,
Ohio, Virginia, New Jersey, New York
and New England. The sale was under
the management of L. F. Herrick of
Worcester, Mass, and the ~auctioneers
were Col. r. r. Baily of Gibson City,
ILL.,, and o. A. Kelley of Worcester.
The weather was delightful and the
stock was in fine condition, and brought
good prices. The highest price paid for
a bull was Sl075 for a bull calf, the son
of Hood Farm Pogis 9th and Tonona 9th
of Hood farm. The sire of the calf is a
son of Figgis, champion and grand
champion COW at the Worlds Fair, st.
Louis, 1904, and the dam is the champion
yearly authenticated test heifer of the
breed, bred, owned and tested by Hood
farm. This bull calf was bought by
Hartman stock farm, Columbus. Ohio,
and the buyer refused an offer of $500
for the calf after the sale. The price for
cows was also topped by the Hartman
farm on Hood Farm Golden Beauty, at
$685., and the COW is a beauty too.
The Berkshires brought good prices for
an eastern sale. Several daughters of
the phenomenal show boar at the western
fairs of 1905, Hood Farm Rex, were in
cluded in the sale, and were in great
demand. Hood Farm Rex was exhibited
in the sale ring and was enthusiastically
admired by breeders.
The sale was a decided success and
proved that buyers appreciated the Op-
portunities offered by Hood Farm in
allowing them to obtain the best blood in
the world at their own prices. 1t eX-
ceeded in interest and importance the
sale held in 1902 when the bull and COW
that afterwards won champion and grand
champion prizes at the st. Louis Worlds
Fair were sold at auction by Hood farm.
1t will certainly be of great benefit to
have stock of this rich breeding scattered
so widely over the country.

One of the most dIvertiug tales told
in connection with the art OF anagram
making relates to a certain Dame
Eleanor Davies, wife OF Sir Joshua Da-
vies. She lived in the time OF Charles
I. and was constant croalter and fore
teller OF evil At length she made her
self so obnoxious to the government
that She was cited to appear before the
court of high commission. She fancied
that she was gifted with prophetic
powers because the letters of Eleanor
Davies formed the anagram Reveal,
o Daniel" This was not good ana
gram, as It used the al" twice and did
not employ the IS" at all.
She resisted all the efforts of the
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by a witty
dean, who hoIsted her with her own
petard by making another anagram,
not SO complimentary to her prophetic
insight, Dame Eleanor Davies-neVer
80 mad a ladieg' This caused her to
doubt the reality of her own insplra-
ton and SO utterly dIscoucerted her
that no more was heard Of her.

CAUGHT I'm

Another large audience assembled
at the Grand last evening to Wit
ness the second performance of the
Myrkle-Harder Stock Company,
Upon this occasion theatrical history
was enriched by the presentation of
a four-act sensation Inelidrama Gas
Mr.. Vail says entitled, Caught in
the Web. ," Our surmise was en-
tirely wrong as it was neither
Frank or Hazel who was caught,
but that very "bad actor Mr.. abr
row LePage. Please understand
that the term chad actor" Is used
in its colloqual or slang meaning.
We mean that Mr.. LePage was al
bold, designing william, and he was
such a good actor in the proper
sense, that the audience recognized
his rascality at once and hated him
Mr.. LIE Page has played
more vaieties, of knave, crook, VIII

seducer, thief, gonif, schlemeel,
schlemozzle, and met death in more
different forms than any stage VII
Ian that ever lit a sweet caporal. He
was caught in the web all right and
as is customary with Williams, was
presented a nice theatrical lemon
for his good acting.
Miss Florence Picnekney, a new
member of the company, made her
first appearance last night, and she
created a favorable impression.
Miss Pinckney is good to look upon
and she spoke her lines with
clearness of enumeration quite COM
Miss Hazel Carleton was as bright
as ever, her little May Irwin touches
of comedy always bring a roar of
laughter. Miss HazeFs sense of
humor is so well developed, it
must be hard for her to be serious

delectable of stage lovers, FRANKIE

Sister Daisy as usual had trouble
with her matrimonial affairs, but in
a wav it is her own fault, as she
always picks the william for her
steady. Sister Hazel never has any
troublt like that, but then you see,
she always chooses the leading man.
A leading man can't afford to be
bad. because that makes wrinkles,
and when leading man has wrInk-
les he is not pretty.
Mr.. Glare Evans gave a line chaT-
acter study of an Irishman, and al
so contributed song that contain

audiences are not used to having
their dramatic fare so highly sea-
soned.
Mr.. oretto's ;mpersonation of a

to make any one homesick, who had
ever seen the great white way.

COTTON FOR SOAP.
Daniel ]. sully Has Changed His Bust

0SSS OpcIdLlOuS.
dispatch from New York says: Daniel
]. Su1ly, the serstwhile cotton king" has
abandoned the field in which he made his
spectacnlar .cepps and has gone into soap
and tallow. He has become the head of
Buchan's Soap Corporation, which, has
81 100000 capital Frank Tilford is the
vice president. The plant is in Brooklyn.
Sully, it became known yesterday. was
behind the recent mysterious movement in
the tallow market, which has forced that
commodity up % per cent within the last
few weeks. There were many who believed
some one was trying to corner the tallow
market, possibly in anticipation of the
formation of an American soap trust. Sew
eral small soap makers went to the wall
during the rise in tallow, and the whole
trade has been excited.
Sully said last night he was not trying to
corner the tallow market.
II went into the soap business some little
TENDER l we have been accommodating a
years supply ahead. That's all. We've
got it, and now l expect to see the price of
tallow slump off some. We have no idea of
forming or entering an American soap
trust. Trusts are not popular just now and
the English grocers are up in arms against
the British soap trust. We do not wish to
antagonize anybody.
Now that I am in soap I am going to
educate the people to appreciate the value
of pure soap. There's lot of bad soap
around, but we make only the best. 1

STANDARD OIL ACTIVE.
Considerable Sales Of the Stock Are a
Novelty.

A telegram from New York says: Small
holders Of Standard Oil certificates. fright
ened perhaps by the reports from Washing
ton of further governmental proceedings
against the trust, have disposed of unusual
ly large quantities of certificates this week.
While for many days the summer and early
fall quotations for the stock were purely
nominal and average daily transactions did
not exceed forty shares, 335 shares have
changed hands in the two days of trading
this week.
Yesterday there were transactions in ZIG
shares. The first sale was at $40, against
a closing sale of 5S5 on Monday. From this
point the market declined to so. at which
price the largest sale of the day, 20 shares,
was made. Apart from this transaction the
largest sale of the day was block OF 70
shares and there was only one sale of that
magnitude. There were several sales of
single share lots. The last sale was at SO,
a net decline of $40 share for the day.
In January the stock sold at 100 the
highest price Of the year. In August the
high figure was 615 and in October 600 In
the entire history of the stock on the curb,
however. it has always been matter OF
note that sales of large blocks could only
be negotiated privately and that the best
price obtainable was often far below the
curb quotations. On this account much
surprise was expressed yesterday at the abb
sorption by the curb market of block or
IS shares and total of PIG shares. In
other words. curb brokers said, the demand
for the stock appeared to be quite as eX-
traordinary as the offerings.

WILL HAVE TO PAY FARE.
Cadets and Midshipmen Are Dead
heads No Longer.

One of the consequences Of the railway
rate law is that the battalion of cadets at
the Military Academy and the battalion
of midshipmen at the Naval Academy will
be compelled to pay for their transporta-
ton to Philadelphia on Thanksgiving day
ON the occasion of the annual foot ball
contest between the teams of the respective
academies. Heretofore the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad COM
panies have conveyed the student bodies
both ways free of charge
After due consideration of the subject by
the officials of the War and Navy depart
ments 1t was decided that such action is
contrary to the railroad rate law. 1t is
estimated that 1t will cost the military
cadets 1925 each for the round trip and
the midshipmen 1915 each.
