What the Noise Did

Of the noise of London streets caused by the hackney coach Taylor, the old water poet, wrote: Tt makes such a hideous rumblng in the streets hy many churches doors that peoples ears are stopped with the noise, where by they are debarred of their edifyinc which makes faith so fruitless, good works so barren and charity as cold at midsummer as if it were great frost. By this means souls are robbed and starved of their heavenly manna."

OPEN NEW
 BELASCO THEATER

New York, Oct. 19.-With the stage of David Belascos magnificent new theater, the Stuyvesant as a setting, David Warfield appeared this week in the premier of the widely-herald- ed new drama, "A Grand Army Man
 Although the sapient critics, as us- ual, disagree as to the merits of the play, it has caught on with the pub lie and is easily the dramatic success of the present season. Aside from the attractiveness of the drama an1 the allurement of Americas foremost character actor, the opening ol tE" Stuyvesant was an event in itself worthy of the attention of the nations play-goers. Over a year ago, when Mir. Belasco first announced his plans for the Stuyvesant, he promise: that it would be, both artisticaliy and in arrangements for the pubiI's com fort, unique among A4nericah amusement houses. With MT. B,'asco promise usually meets fuliilment, and this case is no exception.
 "A Grand Army Man was written by MT. Belasco in CO.,. Elaboration with Pauline Phelps and Ma;:1n Short. i'll plot it bear ssome resemblance to the common or garden yar.ety of melo- drama, depicting thA triumph If love over moral considerations, but in methods of treatme": and in it's pre- sentation it rises to heights far a5nve those usually attained by dramas dealing with the bolrseois affe ect;ons, rassions and emotions.

common carriers, and to make a re- port concerning them on December 1 of each year.
 The most important questions which Hartman declined to answer, upon the advice of MT. Milburn, re- lated to the purchase by Hartman of Chicago & Alton stock, and the amount of such purchase and subse- quent sale. Upon all queries relating to the purchase and sale of Chicago & Alton stockq by Hartman and his refusal to reply or go into the details of the transaction is noted in the con- plaint. Hartman is also charged with refusing to tell how much of the preferred stock of the Union Pacific he owned now would he explain, it is also charged, what the holdings of H. H. Rogers, H. c. Prick and him. self were of Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe stock. Hartman also refus- ed to state the connection of Kuhn, Loeb and Company with the latter transaction, that firm having acted as brokers in the purchase of the stock
 All questions put to Mir. Hartman concerning the pool composed of him. self and Prick and Rogers in the pur- chase of Santa Fe stock were also declined, and are a part of those the commission now demands that he an- swer. Questions as to Hartman S interest in the buying of 105,000
 shares of Illinois Central railway stock are cited among those refused, as we'll as the major portion of the questions put to him concerning the facts under which the famous 10 per cent Southern Pacific dividend was declared. The commission also wants to know whether Hartman person. ally profited, and to what extent, by the sudden and rapid appreciation of Southern Pacific stock following the dividend.
 Hartman is credited with the as sertion that his only reason for re- fusing to answer these questions was the advice of counsel Otto H. Kuhn of the banking and brokerage firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Company also re- fused to answer questions regarding Hartman stock purchases, and is Jo:, why

the gum spirits, but even if it could, this is a small matter in many cases, as infinitesimal and undetectable amounts of certain impurities left in the refined product as the result of the methods of production can pro- duce this slight difference in odor, and the wood turpentine should not be condemned for practical purposes on this account. This becomes still more evident when it is known that the sweet odor of the gum turpentine is not characteristic of itself, but is due to an impurity produced by the chem ical action of air upon it.
 These are important discoveries and are we'll worthy of consideration. If they are true, then refined steam tur- pentine, properly prepared, should bring at least an equal price in this country with the gum turpentine. h. deed, abroad, this is often the case, and instances are on record where the refined steam turpentine has, by vir- tue of it's more uniform composition, brought five cents a gallon more than the gum spirits, and is in much great CT demand. Further Investigations along these lines will be pushed viz orously by the forest service.

He became minis ter of war of the government formed by the reyolutionists of Baden in 1S4S, and when the king triumphed fled to this country.

New York, Oct. 19-The govern ment will test the authority of the in
 terstate commerce commission to examine witnesses under oath when Edward H. Hartman and Otto H. Kuhn, the latter of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, appear in federal court here Monday and explain why they should not answer certain questions put to them at the hearing of the commerce commission held in this city last winter, and which they re- fused, upon the advice of counsel, to answer. The questions, for the most part, have to do with the alleged skyrocket financing of the Chicago & Alton and the merging of the Harri- man Pacific systems.
 The law under which the inter- state commerce commission derives it's authority provides for the punish ment of any person or persons who refuse to answer such questions as the commission may propound to them.
 In the order to show cause, which Hartman and Kuhn must answer, it is pointed out that the commission has the right to inquire into the bus mess of all common carriers. It is also cited that the commission has the right to examine into all of the accounts and annual reports of such
