County Commissioner Brashears. one Of
the charter members OF the club. asked
the sentiment Of the club relative to in
creasing the rate of county taxation for
the repair of roads and bridges, it being
explained that the heavy rains during the
past summer had washed away many of
the important bridges of the county. The
matter was discussed at some length. the
opinion ching unanimous that an increase
in taxation was desirable, provided the
county authorities exercised closer super.
vision over the expenditures Of the money.
Director Patterson spoke concerning the
denatured alcohol bill passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, declaring that his investi-
cations lead him to believe that the opera
tons of the trusts would minimize the ben
eft which the farmers had hoped to derive
from the workings of the bill. This meas
ure was secured through the influence
Of the oranges and other agricultural or
CARNATIONS of the country.

What Is q Gentleman


In his address to the graduating midship-
men at Annapolis Secretary Bonaparte re-
minded them that theirs is the profession of
a gentleman. Now what is a gentleman ="
he asked. las used In the laws and regu-
lations governing our navy" he replied to
his own question. Its essential meaning
is that you and your brother officers have
duties beyond the duties of others; that
you have obligations that do not rest on
all members Of this community; that of
you are required q measure Of self-control,
a readiness for self-sacrifice, a sensitiyeness
in honor which 1t might be neither rea-
sonable to expect nor charitable to exact

no more indissolubly welded than those of

by persons seriously afraid that they will

tinent The United States was also repre-

however. to hold a separate celebration at

honor upon Sir William Perkin than would
be the case If contributions were sent to
the English fund by few American chem
lists who were especially interested in the
matter.

gram: To invite Sir William Perkin to be

prevail Of Sir William Perkin) and to con-
sist Of banquet and symposium on the

try; the establishment Of a nucleus of

city Of q reference and circulating library
covering the entire field Of theoretical and
applied chemistry, which is to be in charge
of a salaried librarian and to contain du-
plicate sets. one of them to be used for
circulation among American chemists. A
sum of at least $4,000 was estimated as
necessary to place the library on a perma-
nent basis.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Today is the dividend and interest pay
day for a number Of the local corporations
and the checks in payment of these dues
were received by the holders of the securi-
ties. The amount which is disbursed by
local concerns on that account IL estimated
to reach $4,000, which is a tidy sum OF
money to put in circulation for one day.
1t is not likely that any of the banks felt
straitened on this account. although in
New York. where the obligations Of this
sort run UP into the hundreds Of millions.
1t is generally considered that the money
market feels the burden of such payments
for day or two at least.
There Is nothing the matter with the local
money market-that is nothing new. 1t is
the same complaint that has troubled It
for some months past, namely. scarcity of
the supply. 1t Is probable, however, as
the conditions in the general market i'm
prove in this respect and money rates de-
crease. that there will be corresponding
change In the local situation.
FOR some reason the exact nature OF
which Is not known, there has been a re-
vival Of talk in local financial circles rela-
way Company. 1t will be some months yet
before the voting trust expires. and the
stockholders will have voice in the man
agement Of the road. Still the length Of
time that will elapse does not interfere
with the flow of gossip on this subject
stance that something is likely to be done
or else the agitation would not be kept up.
However, there Is nothing very definite or
tangible In the talk now that Mr.. Glover
by his own motion has placed himself out
side Of the probabilities as the future head
OF this system. Mr.. Frederick c. Stevens
name Is still mentioned in connection with
this place.
Whether any Of the current talk that is
heard has any foundation in fact is, Of
course, not known, but its general vague
ness would indicate that no course for the
future had been determined upon. either
by the outsiders or the insiders. In the
meanwhile 1t is recognized that the system
Is going on making money and doing the
enlarged business which comes with
growth Of the city.
An advance Of half a point in the bid
price for gas stock occurred today at the
meeting Of the stock exchange, but 1t did
not seem to have any significance except
there were several brokers who seem to be
willing to pay more for some blocks Of the
stock. Those who have it for sale showed
an inclination to stand out for higher
prices. and in consequence the trather low
record Of Saturday was changed to SIN
bid and So asked

Copper. on a range of PCS to 26ss. One
