AS a people, the Moors are already
well inclined to anything that gilds
life. A writer says: Nothing delights
them more, as a means of agreeably
spending an hour or two, than squat
ting on their heels in the streets or
on some doorstoop, gazing at the pas
sersby, exchanging compliments with
their acquaintances. Native 'swells'
consequently promenade with a piece
Of felt under their arms, on which to
sit when they wish, in addition to its
doing duty as a carpet for prayer
The most public places, nd usually
the cool of the afternoon, are pre-
ferred for this pastime.

AT A HIGHER LEVEL
Did the Stocks Go After Advance OF
U. S. Steel Toward the Close of
the Session.

New York, July 31.--During the
movement of the first hour on the
stock market today there We're ad-
yances of point or more in a num-
Der of transcontinenta railroad
stocks, Pennsylvania, Amagamated
Copper and a few stocks not OF first
Importance. The stocks came out on
the advance and some heavy selling
was attributed TO the bear account.
The profession element was inclined
to take the short side on the ground
that the adavnce had run to some
length and invited reaction, especial
ly as the outside demand which APP
peared yesterday after the week end
interval was pronounced to be in
significant. Interest in the market
became torpid early in the session
and the movement exceedingly slug
gish. This was particularly true of
United States Steel stocks, which
were held in reserve, apparently for
leadership of later movement. 1t is
doubtful whether the quarterly state
ment of tina net earnings of the com
pany contained any noted surprises
for those who have been dealing act
! lively in the stocks, The statement
did not appear in time to enable in
formation to be used at first hand in
market operations of the day. But
/ as time for assembling of the direc.
tors approached large transaction iii
the United States Steel common
appeared on the tape and its price
was carried up to forty, which was
the objective foretold by speculative
sponsors for the market movement
The weather bureau weekly crop bull
letin contained nothing to shake the
present strong conviction of excellent
progress of crops.
The money market was not affect
ed by the monthly settlements, which
are not important for August, but for

ment in United States Steel, carried

FULFILLED 4 VOW
To Kin Her ana Now He Wants to
Collect His Wife's Insurance
Money.

Newport News, Va July 31.-At
torney w. c. Stuart today filed appli-
cation before Judge Barham for the
appointment of a committee on a con
yict's estate to collect the insurance
on the life of Julia Paylinic, who, be
ing insane. was killed by her husband
at her own request. The policy is IN
favor of Pavlinic himself and he de-
s res the money 10 take his case 10
the court of appeals, he having been
sentenced to IS years in the peni'
Tertiary. The Policy is in the Metro
politan Life Insurance company OF
New York, and the company viii
probably contest the appointment OF
the committee. Judge Barham VIII
hear the motion early in the week.
Pavlinic is an Austrian by birth,
and according to the evidence and his
own protestations, loved his wife de-
votedlv The woman was taken in
sane and confined in the asylum at
williamsburg. After a time she got
better and was released. Again she
became violent, was confined, and
again released AT her request the
husband promised that he would kill
her rather than allow her TO be con
fined in the asylum a third time. The
woman was all right for several
months. and then the signs of insan-
itv returned.
Pavlinic shot his wife while she
was sleeping. true to his primise' us
ing a 22-claiber toy pistol, and firing
nine bullets into her body. He then
carefully removed the blood from the
remains covered the body with a
cloth and came to the police station
IN this city an dannounced what he
had done.
At his trial he denied being insane
although three insanity experts tesi-
fed that he was. He asked that he be
executed rather than confined IN the
penitentiary. The jury gave his 10
years.
There is nothing in the insurance
papers to prevent Pavlinie from re-
covering the money. but it will be ar
gued as against public policy to allow
him to do so. The fight will be made
on these grounds.
