KESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.
Early Squirt in Prices and an Irregular Close With Net Changes Small Mingled Gains and LOsses.

New York, March 27--The action of to-day's stock market served as an ad- monition to any too exuberant fancies about the unreality of the recent se- were experiences which the market has undergone The early spurt in prices, which added to points to the recov- cries of 3 to over points in yester- days market, had the desired effect of cutting down the buying demand. Without this sustaining force at the higher level there was a backward drift which did not leave much of the fairly sensational advances of the early part of the day.
 There was nothing in the days news to .discredit the information which had helped to yesterdays improvement in sentiment. But the violence of the re- covery was regarded as taking prices too rapidly away from the proper ad- justment, though toe process of adjust ment had been somewhat overdone in the decline. The positive weakness of several securities was an active factor in curbing the precipitancy of the early advance. The unsupported condition of the Fries and the wide decline to a level materially lower than was touch- ed in the weakest period of the recent selling gave clear evidence of further liquidation.
 The usual sympathetic effect was produced on other Morgan stocks, es- peeially Southern railway, for which

conditions of credit and capital needs are most nearly analogous to those of Erwie. The United States Steel stocks were also affected, seemingly in sym pathy. The companion weakness of Pennsylvania, was not so clearly sym pathetic, unless the liquidation was prompted by the drastic provisions of the proposed railroad commission law pending in the New Jersey legislature. Reports of measures for railroad reg ulation by other state legislatures also served to keep alive the sensitiveness of the financial district to this feature of the activities of the times. The money market showed palpable relief, which was attributed to the measures adopted by the United States treasury department. The treasury's action was much dwelt upon as an index of policy of the department under it's new head and as an earnest of the deter imitation of the department to afford any relief actually called for by the situation.
 The question was discussed in some quarters to-day how far the recent de- velopments in the credit situation might have been prompted by arrange. ments to conform to a stricter inter- pretation of requirements of the na- tional banking act than has been all ways insisted on in times past. The proit-taking which could be done to advantage at to-day's higher prices was increased by the belief that the stock exchange authorities would de- eide to close the exchange from Thurs day until the following Monday. The days net changes were mostly small and mingled gains and losses, and the closing tone was quite irregular
 Bonds were irregular. Active bonds were firm, but in other issues small lots were mLEketed only at wide conces- sions from previous prices. Focal sales par value $2,522,OOO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

THE HUGENEss OF NEW YORK.

THE HUGENESS OF NEW YORK.
 Just about one out of every three in- habitants of New York city was born in foreign country. Manhattan alone has 7S9,342 residents of foreign birth, and Brooklyn 955,697 The total num- Der of foreigners domesticated in the metropolis is, III precise figures, 1,297- 0SO. They would alone compose a city as big as Philadelphia, considerably larger than Constantinople or more than twice as big as Boston.
 Half of the population of the State of New York is located within the limits of the great American metropolis, which has more inhabitants than Switzerland by one-fifth, and more than Denmark or servia or Greece. The population of New York city is more than equal to that of nine sovereign states of the u1- icn combined-Maine, Connecticut, Del aware, Florida, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Montana and Neva- da. To this total Arizona and Alaska would have to be added in order to furnish as many Americans as are to be found within the precincts of the five boroughs.
 To get a notion of the magnitude of this population, which the mind is hardly able to grasp offhand, let us imagine all the people of New York formed in procession and marching down Broadway, ten abreast and with lines six feet apart. Regulate their speed of progress so that they will pass given point at uniform rate of fifty thousand an hour; and conceive if you can, that you are sitting on a grandstand at a convenient place for observation of the route of the parade. IL will be an interesting spectacle, eX- hibiting to view after the manner of a diorama all classes of New Workers, from richest to poorest, and from the very young to the very old, and you can afford to devote a little of your valuable time to watching them.-Rene Bache, in Pearson's Magazine

TRAINING A CIRCUS HORSE.

The most difficult training stunt in a circus, says Everybody's, is to make a good bareback horse, because it must be taught to travel at a pace that never changes, to take a stride that does not vary an inch in length. All circus rings the world over are AZ feet in diameter. A bareback horse upon which a performer turns som- ersault should take just twenty strides in making the circuit of the ring. If it can be taught to take twenty-two, it is so much more valuable. If it takes fewer than eighteen, it is useless, for fine riding, though in the finish act, which goes with a rush and hurrah, it may circle the ring in twelve to fif- teen strides. 1n turning somer- sault on horseback the rider rises with the horse, landing when the quarters are descending on the second strike after the rise. If there is a variation in time or in length of stride, it means a fall and very often a broken limb,

s. D. THAw A MISSIONARY.
Left for Syria Soon After Graduation
 from Vale Last June.


 Stephen D. Thaw, who is a nephew of Harry K. Thaw, and who graduat- ed from Yale last June, has written friends from Syria, where he went im- mediately after graduation, saying that he has embarked in missionary work there and will spend some years in the country.
 While at Yale young Thaw started the Yale Monthly Magazine, which cost several thousand dollars. It was later combined with the Yale Courant. He roomed in Vanderbilt hall.
 Thaw, who Is just past twenty-one years old, will be the heir to one of the largest fortunes in Pittsburg. His father, Benjamin Thaw, is the eldest son of the late William Thaw, and a half brother to Harry. He received, at the death of his father, the same fortune that the other Thaw heirs received, but has increased it many times over
 stephen Thaw will pay all of the expenses as a missionary while in Sy- ria, and will give his services to the missionary society of the Presbyter- ian church without salary. It is un- derstood he will for the present visit the other missionaries in Syria, assist ing them where he can, and giving them such financial help as they may need. Whether he will devote his en- tire life to missionary work has not been fully decided, it is said.

 There is no end to the nervous con dition that coffee will produce. It shows in one way in one person and in another way in another In this case the lady lived in s. Dak. She says:
 T have had to lie awake half the night with my feet and limbs out of the bed on the coldest nights, and felt afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold. had been troubled for years with twitching and jerking of the low CT limbs, and for most of the time I have been unable to go to church or to lectures because of that awful feel ing that I must keep on the move.
 ''When it was brought to my atten- ton that coffee caused so many ner- vous diseases, I concluded to drop cof- fee and take Postum Food Coffee to see if my trouble was caused by cof- fee drinking.
 q only drank one cup of coffee for breakfast, but that was enough to do the business for me. When I quit it my troubles disappeared in an almost miraculous way. Now have no more of the jerking and twitching and can sleep with any amount of bedding over me and sleep all night, in sound, peaceful rest.

NEW HAVEN COURIER WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER leo

Tt happened in America" says De Pachman in relating the tale; "and, as a matter of fact, I don't think any but an American woman could ever have been the author of an at tention so delicate and discreet and yet so thoroughly convincing in the utter abandon of its enthusiasm. On my tour through this country three years ago, I gave several recitals in New York, and on the morning after the final one, uniform footman left small package at my hotel with a note written in refined feminine hand I undid the package and found pair of ladies long gloves. The note read as follows:
 Dear Mir. De Peachmann: I had the pleasure of being at your concert last evening and derived great enjoyment from your beautiful music and your manner of playing it-too much en- joyment by far, fear, as the accom- panying enclosure will testify. I wore the gloves last evening, and feel sure that every woman present went home in the same state. However, I feel that my sacrifice was but a very small one. in the cause of true art Ruefuily and yet gratefully, yours,

THE MISSION OF ART
pliments Artist.

In it's forecast of the theatrical sea- son the Theatre Magazine for Sep tember says: 'The theatrical season of 1907-0S, which began in earnest the last two weeks in August, prom ises to be busy and interesting. The marked dearth abroad of good dram atic material has again benefited the native playwright, and it is reassur- ing to note in the lengthy list of plays underlined for immediate production that the American dramatist is once more well to the front. This is as it should be. The average theatergoer, of course, cares little who writes his plays. All he wants is to be entertain ed. But it is a hopeful sign for the fu- ture of our drama that the day seems to be passed when the American stage was forced to depend almost entirely on the dramatic output of London and Paris, There is a growing taste on Broadway and elsewhere for home made plays, and a growing distaste for imported pieces rehecting foreign life we do not know and with which we have little sympathy. The specula- tive manager has done nothing to fos- | ter this taste for the American play. On the contrary, he has found it cheaper and easier to go abroad each | year and pick out the most successful of the plays which foreign manager, more bold, has already tried out He has exploited the ready-made foreign play for all it is worth, and he has long treated the American author as a negligible quantity. But he cannot afford to do so any longer. Such American playwrights as Augustus Thomas, Clyde Fitch, Charles Klein, and George Broadhurst have proved their ability to turn out plays that are big money-makers, The success of these and other native authors has created large public for American plays, until foreign plays have be- come a drug on the market. It is a healthy reaction which should give satisfaction to every theatergoer apart from any idea of Chauvinism, for it has imparted new impetus and giv- en new interest to our stage We have been surfeited with anaemic English comedy and suggestive Con- l tinental farce. Our public wants plays dealing with vital questions of Amer tican life. This country is big enough and the phases of It's peoples daily activities complex and varied enough to produce potential drama the pos abilities of which as an educational and moral force are well-nigh incal- culable. Our social life, industrial conditions, politics, in a word the drama and comedy hourly enacted about us-all this presents an ex- haustless and fertile field for the na- tive dramatist Our authors are keen- ly alive to the opportunity and, judg- ing by their announcements this year, even our managers, so long devoted to the foreign play, are beginning to rec ognize the superior qualities of the home article"
