NEW YORK, April mot much was to
have been expected of today's abbreviated
session I'm the stock market hence there was
no good reason for surprise or disappoinf-
ment at the results shown. Interest con-
tinued concentrated upon the monetary
situation and most of the mornings dis
cussion was occupied with the probable
showing to be made in the weekly banK
statement The various preliminary esti-
mates of the loss in cash which the banks
have suffered this week ranged from 20
COO 600 to over $4,000 600, the smaller fore
cast being much In excess of the entire
amount of last weeks surplus reserves.
Apart from the apparent betterment In
the labor situation in the coal regions.
there was little of interest in the morning
news relating to the general market OF
particular stocks.
The foreign exchange market was again
weak but there were no further dennite
announcements of engagements of gold
for import although London advlces were
to the effect that an active American III
quiry for the metal was detected there.
The London stock market was auli anu
irregular in advance of the fortnightiy set

American stocks were generally STEADY.
Little was done here, however, for foreign
account.

Active Features Of Railway.
Pennsylvania continued one of the strong
est and most active features of the railway
list, but otherwise very irregular tenden-
cies prevailed there. Other active stocks
In this department were Union Pacific,
Reading Erie, Atchison, the bitunrinous
coal stocks and Rock Island. Amalgamated
Copper, the United States Steel shares, Ma
tional Lead and Consolidated Gas furnished
the bulk of the transactions In the indus
trial and miscellaneous group, where price
changes were also irregular and generally
limited.
A very weak bank position had been fore
Swallowed throughout the week in the strin-
gent conditions which prevailed in the
money market, but todays bank statement
made even q weaker showing than had been
commonly looked for
The most disappointing fea ture of the
statement was the increase in the loan
item, as 1t had been generally expected that
that account would show a sufficient cur
tailment as to reduce the net loss In re-
serves.

A Little Lesson in Optics

Away back in the times of the
Greeks there were men who could see
objects c1ose-by all right, but not
across the river or plain, though they
could often do better by screwing up
their eyes until their eyelids made a
narrow slit to look through. The
wise men of the Greeks called such
one myope, and we still use the
name
Common folks call such people
"short sighted because they can see
objects we'll and far objects with
great difficulty, if at all. But science
comes to the aid of these unforth-
mates; the modern makers of lenses
supplies them with a little glass
through which they look and at once
the world comes clear. They look
at the tree across the street and say,
"Why, | never knew before that a
tree had SO many twigs."
Are you a myopic? there's no dis
grace in it, but if you are we will
make a careful examination of your
eyes and supply you with the little
glasses, made exactly to fit your case
SO that you, too, may look out upon
the distant world and see. DR.. p.

der's Jewellery Store.

CITY ENGINEER ALLEN
Receives a Proposition to Go as
Consulting Engineer to Vicksburg

Our City Engineer ]. S Alien has
been invited by the mayor and alder
men of Vicksburg to make them a
proposition as consulting engineer on
a large amount of paving and sewer
work they have in contemplation.
The city of Vicksburg could make
no better selection for this position
than Greenville's city engineer, for he
has been tried in this work and his
success is attested to by the magni-
foent paved streets and sidewalks of
this city, a feat it was thouhgt i'm
possible, owing TO the condition oi
the soil. Today every citizen is iouo
in praise of the work and Engineer
Allen deserves the credit for it more
fhan anyone else.
We 10 not know whether Mr. AL
len will accept the Vicksburg offer,
but if he does they should lose no
time in closing a contract with him
for the work, with his experience,
means not only good pavements but
saving of money to that city.

The Attitude of Christian Scientists
Toward Their Leader

Christian Scientists are particular
ly careful to deny the allegation that
their attitude toward Mrs. Eddy is
other than that of grateful and loving
recognition of their debt to her and
respect for her undoubted ability. In
a recent letter to the directors of the
Mother Church, Mrs. Eddy herself
says: Nov is the time to throttle
the lie that students worship me, or
that / claim their homage" In keep
ing with this thought Mrs. Eddy is
sued the following statement, which
appeared in the Christian Science
Sentinel OF April 18th, 1906.
ITO the beloved members of my
Church, The Mother Church, The
First Church of Christ, Scientist,

Assemble not at the residence OF
your Pastor Emeritus, at or about the

munion service, for the divine and
not the human should engage our at
