UPSETS PUGH'S RULING.
Counsel Thomas Says Minors Can't
buy liquor, Even as Agents.


According to the opinion Of Corporation
Counsel E. H. Thomas. selling liquor to a
minor is punishable, even though the
one to whom the liquor is sold is an agent
or carrier" and the liquor is not con
sunlad by him.
This opinion was requested as the result,
according to Capt W. II. Matthews, Of
the Fifth precinct, of the refusal Of AS
sistant Corporation Counsel James L.
Pugh to grant his approval TO the issuing
of warrant for the arrest Of John APP
pich, a saloonkeeper. for selling liquor
to Earl Tctten. thirteen years old. Tot
ten, It is stated, bought the whisky for
another, and as he did not taste of the
liquor, In the opinion Of Mr.. Pugh, the
saIoonkeeper could not be arrested

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Brokers arrived early at the Washing
ton Stock Exchange yesterday, and the
crowd outside the rail was considerably
augmented when President Hume called
the fnanciers to order. They had all read
The Washington Herald. and were ready
for the fireworks In Washington Gas.
The bond list and local railway shares
were quickly passed over on regular call.
The brokers had something else to at
tend TO yesterday, and when Washington
Gas was called everybody was on the
alert in minute.
Business began at 50. There seemed q
pretty fair amount Of the stock on the
floor, and the price went rapidly I'D to
697s, with an option on 100 shares pegged
at 7OA. When the record was read it was
seen that over 800 shares had changed
hands, and the young brokers who have
stood to the guns on this stock scored
another victory. Again and again this
cOterie of brokers have demonstrated
their ability TO take care of all the stock
in sight. and the doubling ones are being
won over to the idea that there is some
thing in the story that, outside interests
are after gas stock with money to pay
for all there is in sight.
Bank shares. mining shares, and every
other kind of shares were of no interest
after the trades in gas, and the business
Of the day was over.
Opinions or the New York Market.
Benjamin Woodruff, of Post & Fiagg.-
THE market developed a reactionary ten
dency to-day and closed with general con
! cessions in prices Union Pacific particu-
larly showing a decline. Nothing was an
nounced during the day affecting prices,
except the report that the deadlock in the
sale OF copper had been broken and that
| new contracts were being made freely at
2 cents a pound. Though a concession
IN price, this is a substantial figure and
for awhile had a beneficial influence on
Copper. Tomorrow the government crop
report is due. and this is awaited with
much interest. The favorable weather of
the last few weeks leads to the hope Of an
| improved showing Of condition but the
last government report on cotton so disap-
pointed hopes that there is much caution
! In predicting to-morrow's results. Money
was somewhat easier to-day, but to-mor-
row there is a payment of over $4,000, 900
on Union Pacific and over 100000 on
Atchison to be made, which may have
temporarily an effect on rates. The gov
eminent operation in the retirement Of
the per cent bonds is also far from con-
Guided. This morning only 100000 OF the

and something over ST., 10000 of the $685.

G. Bowie Chapman, of z. r. Chapman &

der. Where did l learn this habit?
May it not be the memory disk giving
off its record? My savage ancestor
learned by long years Of experience to
be specially on his guard in lonely
place and in the dark. When my in
dignation is thoroughly reused l find
my hands clinch, there is Tightening
of the lips, the teeth are more plainly
visible, and the whole attitude is sug-
gestive of making spring. Here is
trait of early man, who gathered him

I have often noticed that when people
use the word offensive" it is accom-
panied by culver of the nostrils and
an involuntary movement of the nose.
The Imagination is still haunted by

prejudice for raw meat found too
strong for him, SO strong that his nose

1t does seem that women have more

that afflict humanity; they must g keep

constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more
suffering than any other organ of the
body. Keep the kidneys we'll and health
is easily maintained. Read of remedy

the kidneys.
Mrs. Sherm Clayton, living two blocks

there is little need of anyone suffering

effective remedy can be procured as
Doans Kidney Pills have proved to be.
The prompt and thorough relief which
followed their use in my case has given
me abiding faith in the merits of the

depended upon to act up to the repre-
sensations made for it and this know
ledge should be of untold value to

How to Learn a Foreign Language.

How to Learn a Foreign Language.
One may begin the attempts Of free
expression, and thus an independent
use Of the language, with compare
lively small vocabulary. Conscientious
reading and we'll conducted converse
tons will then quickly enlarge the vo-
cabulary and develop the facility Of ex-
preston. But I cannot lay too much
stress upon the fact that the free and
exact rendering of ones own thought
in writing is the most efficient exercise
in acquiring a language. In mere con-
versation we are apt to slip over diff
culties by permitting ourselves vague
ness and inaccuracies of expression
which would sternly demand correc-
tion-and correction, too, easily kept
in mind-when the written words look
us in the face. To quicken the efficacy
of this exercise requires, of course, a
teacher able not only to pound gram
NAUTICAL rules into the head of the pu-
pill, but also to stir up in the study Of
the language a mentally active inter-
est in the subjects spoken or written
about-Carl Schurz's "reminiscences in

A French Verdict

All juries have way Of tempering
justice with mercy and strict logic
with good or bad sense. French juries
excel in these practices. A Nine. Ca
naby of Bordeaux was accused of hav-
ing forged two prescriptions and Of
having thereby obtained large quanti-
ties of poison. some of which she ad
ministered to her husband, who nearly
died and was only saved by his doctor,
who suspected something wrong and
took him away. The evidence was
overwhelming, for the prisoner com
pletely failed to give any plausible eX-
PLANTATION as to why she wanted the
peterborough, as the chemist said, to
kill two regiments. Nevertheless the
jury found Nine. Canaby guilty of
forging the prescriptions, but not guilty
of attempting to poison her husband.
Perhaps the jury thought the husband
Imprisoned was punishment enough in
himself for one crime
