spe. isl Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK March 14-The dealings IN
SOdsys stock market were conducted upon
q steadily contracting scale of activity,
and movements in prices were for the most
part featureless and apparently purpose
less Half a dozen stocks furnished, III
fact. a tery large quota OF the days total
transactions, and several ordinarily active
issues did not make an appearance on tEe
stock tape until we'll along In the business
session The mornings news and the lay
developments afforded no special incentives
10 speculate activity in either direction.
London exercised nothing more than
negative inhsence In the local dealings, and
trading in the stock market at that point
was stjll restrained by what was described
AS the dilatory progress of the international
conference at Algeciras Sterling exchange
rates rose further, circumstance Which
met with some response both in the local
money market and in the quotations for bar
gold and American eagles in London.
The preliminary report upon the state
of the country's foreign trade made public
this morning by the Department OF Com
merce and Labor. was another nFstt-
worthy and ginR showing. Febru-
ary's exports OF domestic products amount
ed to SI4 65i coo. against S51. 10000 IN the
BauIs month of last year, the larger part or
the Increase being furnished by the greater
values of the exports of breadstuffs and
cotton.
For the eight ended months OF the cur
Tert fiscal year the countrys shipments OF
domestic products exceeded In value those
OI the corresponding period of the preceding
year by more than SlSo.a0 600. The COM
modify markets moved irregularly today,
cotton options breaking sharply, while grain
prices were steady. Notwithstanding that
the consensus OF advices respecting the
progress Of the winter wheat crop was
wholly encouraging
C%o%a
There were few interesting statements of
railroad earnings submitted, but on the
other hand the American Tobacco Com
pauy made notable showing for its ended
fiscal year and the Western Unions re-
port FOR the March quarter was likewise,
bill things considered, a gratifying exhibit.
There was little other news OF general or
particular Importance the labor situation
3n the coal regions being still wrapped In
tndeajsive nature OF the DAYS transactions.
most OF the days more striking movements
were toward higher levels.
The Chicago Union Traction stocks scored
further severe losses, rejecting the utter
bewIlderueut OF the shareholders of that
concern with regard to their position as de-
fernned by Mondays Supreme Court
decision.
The Consolidated Gas issues likewise re-
ficctrd occasional pressure. but broadly
speaking the liquidation III that direction
was not so continuous and heavy as II has
been since the reduction in the selling
price OF gas by 20 per cent was foreshad-
owed

"The Home Paper"
(From The Edgefeld Chronicles

(From The Edgefeld Chronicle.)
There r three good weekly news
papers in Edgefeld county, and every
man in the county should take at least
one of them. 1t matters not how many
other papers you take, do not do with
out your t'home paper" 1t stands up
for your interests and your rights fifty
two weeks in every year. 1t sympa-
thizes with you in your Affections, re-
joices with you in your prosperity, and
its columns are open at all times for
the advancement and uplifting of the
community.
The local paper advertises your bust
ness, your schools, your numerous So
%cieties, and in short, prints the thou
sand and n items in which you are in
terested during the year.
1t is your home paper that records
your birth, publishes your marriage and
chronicles your death. 1t is with you
in everything and watches over you
with eager solicitude all the time. 1t
tells when you come and go, when your
house burns down, or when you build a
new one; when your girl has the humps
or your boy the measles; how much the
little angel weighs on arrival; warns
you against slick artists, greasy-pig
games and gold brick schemes; and if
you experience a streak of hard luck, or
happen to take on toe much tea, or get
pasted with the rolling pin at home,
"mums the word"
If you have a boy off at school, send
him the paper. If you have a daughter
married and living in a distant town,
send her what she will appreciate more
than any other gift you could possibly
bestow-the home paper. Send the
home paper to some friend or relative
who has moved away to a distant State,
or to another county. If you like the
paper and it strikes you that the editor
is striving to give you the best weekly
paper he can possibly put out, tell your
friends and neighbors about it and ask
them if they wouldn't like to have it
for a year.
If some one tells you that the local
paper isn't worth five cents a year,
don't argue the point with him. He may
have a grievance, and the opinion he
entertains of the editor may be entirely
mutual, or the poor fellow may be shy
in the upper story. An editor some
times catches a mar with a cold back,
or he may happen to know that a GER
tain man isn't con the square" and
says 50, or perchance, he refuses to
play in some fellows backyard. In
either instance, it must not be expected
that the grieved party will blow the
EDITORS horn. Furiosus furore sue punt
tur.

They Arc q Separate People, n Tribe
Quito by Themselves.

"Such as wake on the night and sleep
on he day and haunt taverns and ale
houses and no man wot from whence
they come nor whittier they 60" So
quantity describes an old English stat
ute against the gypsies. Ever since the
year 1880, says II writer in the London
Standard, Great Britain has tried to get
rid of this strange people without APP
preciable success. Every year or so
some county is up in arms against
them, yet they persist In returning and
apparently thrive under persecution.
The gypsies are popularity supposed
to come originally from Egypt, as their
name indicates, but their origin is trac-
ed farther east than the land of the
Nile. Wherever they come from, they
are a separate people, a tribe quite by
themselves.
They appeared in England about
1905, and tw~enty-six years later Henry
VIII. ordered them to leave the coun-
try in sixteen days, taking all their
goods with them. "An outlandish peo-
pie he called them. The act was in
effectual, and in 1862 Elizabeth framed
a still more stringent law, INT many
were hanged.
But what numbers were executed"
says II old writer, yet notwith-
standing, all would not prevaile, but
they wandered as before, uppe and
downe." They got into Scotland and
became an intolerable nuisance. Both
In that country and in England lcgisla-
ton proved quite Intellectual. The acts
gradually fell into desuetude. Under
George Nv. all that was loft Of the ban
against the gypsies was the mild law
that any person telling fortunes shall
be deemed n rogue and a vagabond."
"Gypsies are no longer a prescribed
class" says a recent writer. probably
the modern gypsy does little evil be-
yond begging and petty theft, but his
determination not to work is as strong
as ever, and 1t Seems curious tina an
industrial people like ours continues to
tolerate n horde of professional idlers."
How numerous the horde Is may be
gathered from the fact that the number
who wintered In Surrey one year was
estimated at 10000.
The language as well as the life of
the gypsy tribe has n tcnacity of its
own. Many of their words have taken
firm hold in n half slang, half permits
slbly way. Shaver is the gypsy word
for child. Pal is pure gypsy. Codgor
means a man. Cutting up Is gypsy for
Quarreling. and cove stands for that
fellow"

In common with other people who
have looked after fox coverts 1 have
often been puzzled by the disappearance
Of well known foxes and have become
convinced that the mof intelligent
foxes, after they have been before
hounds several times, often turn their
wits to account to avoid being hunted.
In n small covert that 1 know well
there was always a fox. A fine big
fellow he was. 1 have more than one
met him when taking an early ride "a

nights foraging. He never seemed to
mind being seen. When the season
opened he gave us one or two capital
runs, ON the second occasion only just
saving his brush by scrambling into an
unstopped drain in our neighbours terri

found when hounds came. Yet he was
seer about as usual at other times. One
day when walking near the covert one
