YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET
Narraow, Professional Limitations Con-
 tinued Much in Evidence.

New York April 10.--The narrow pro- fesslonal limitations of the present stock market continued very much in evidence to-day. The inconstant course of the price movement was accepted as reflecting nothing more than the shift Ing sentiments of the professional trad- CTS seeking to scalp a profit, The mar ket seemed to be equally free from either buying or selling transactions of a substantial character. With no sell irg pressure on the market the room traders found it easy to advance prices as a result of their own limited buying and bidding up, but the futillty of the process was demonstrated when they attempted a resale to take profits. The buying demand being as torpid as the selling pressure, the profit-taking sim ply resulted in prices retracing the pre- vious course.
 There was not much news to account for the days movements The spirit of caution reflected in the diminishing activity of the market is generally att tributed to distrust of the permanence
 
 ditions in the money market The de- termination of the interstate commerce commission to push the examination of F. H. Hartman concerning certain stock transactions, by legal process, is regarded as of sinister import to the securities market, owing to the recol- lection of the response of the market to the last inquiry in that field. A sharp recession in the price of copper at the metal exchange was a feature of the day. The days net changes were small, although prices were at one time considerable above and then considerably below last nights closing | level.

RELIGIOUS "TUMULTS"
 THEIR PENALTIES.
AND

In these days. when ecclesiastical strife is sometimes in the air, it may be a consolation to find that he who fights, and runs away, or gets caught, may at least live. It was not always so. Some two centuries since 1t was the law that "the pain of death' was the penalty for raising or assembling within burg conventions of the peo- pie, without special license of the so- verign or authority of the magistrates of the burg, especially if such people should presume to arm themselves, to display banners, to beat the drums or sound the trumpet, or to make use of other warlike instruments whatever It is recorded in report of old trials that g. person was tried in these cir eumstances.
 On Sunday, January 31, 1896, rab- ble of journeymen and apprentices in Edinburgh, leagued with some students at the university, whose fanatical prin- ciples had of late made alarming pro- gress, assembled for the purpose of insulting and interrupting, those of the Popisil persuasion In the exercise of their religion Their indignities were directed at the chancellor's lady and other persons of that faith when "dlsmissing'' from their place of wor- ship The mob, many of whom were armed, pelted the members of the congregation with stones and dirt, rifed some of them of their clothes and maltreated them in their persons, They then proceeded to the Flight Street with iron bars and other instru- ments, attempted to break open houses and resisted the magistrates and the commander in chief of her majestys forces and the troops under his com mand, and wounded several of the sol diers. The military dispersed the mob several of the leaders were apprehend- ed, and next fornoon the magistrates ordained one Grieve, a baker, person active in the tumult, to be instantly whipped through the city by the com mon eXccutioner.
 | To save this delinquent from under | SOlDS lllG 4OllS 4hpW M oJ | collected mob afresh, rescued the baker from the town officers and the executioner, and carried him off in trlumpi1 Mowbray was charged with engaging in the tumult, but her ma jesty's advocate restricted the libel to accession to the tumult on Monday and rescuing the baker The lords found the libel as restricted relevant to infer the pain of death, After ex- animation of four witnesses a jury un- animously found the prisoners access sion to the tumult proved by his judi teal confession. The court thereupon adjudged the prisoner to be taken to the cross on Wednesday, next. Febru- ary IS, and to be hanged on a gibbet till he be dead. He got brief despite, and whether or not he was hanged is uncertain, as the records for that year are missing. But one Keith, fencing master, was tried on the 26tt of the month for accession to the same
 tumult, and was hanged at the cross on March5.- Advertiser.

SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS,

Two Theories of the Acquirement-Un-
 selfshness and Conventionality
 Most mothers hold, consciously or unconsciously, one of two theories about the requirement of manners by their children.
 One mother says, Manners are only the outward sign of the inner nature. If my daughter has a kind heart and a well trained mind she will behave in a gentle charming fashion. will teach her compassion, respect for age, u1- selfish zeal for helping with the worlds work. Her manners will take care of themselves
 Another mother says, My girls will never get on without conventional manners. They shall be taught from babyhood to emulate the speech and bearing of ladies. They shall be in structed in the proper behavior for every occasion. They shall walk and dance and write aud speak with grace ful perfection"
 Neither method, says the Youths Companion, produces altogether satis- factory results.
 Unselfisilness is truly the founda- tional of good manners, but not the superstructure. Many conventional re- strictions have grown about social re- lations. Some can be explained by the demand of kindness and some cannot. Could child infer from his desire to help others that he should not eat with his knife Many offences against good taste interfere in some way with the rights of others, but many others do not,
 still, no set of rules to produce a polished lady will achieve a result fit for the strain of life. The manners of the French boarding school may adorn the ballroom, but are too likely to fail at the breakfast table or in the erowd- ed car The women of perfect manners must reenforce her unselishness by social rules, and conventionality must be vitilized by the warm desire of others pleasure. The best of life never "comes naturally" whether in Il manners or morals.
 The secret of charming manners is the desire for them. When the mother wishes them for her daughter as much 5 as she wishes the other goods of the E world her daughter will have them.

 sons President.
 New York, April 10-David Wilcox resigned the presidency of the Dela- ware and Hudson railroad to-day by cablegram. He has been in Europe for several weeks. When he sailed from here it was said that his health was not good. To succeed him the board of managers, at meeting tlis afternoon, elected Leonor Fresnel Loree, formerly president of the Rock Island railroad, and previous to that president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
 It was reported on apparently good authority in Wall street, after the news of the resignation, that for personal reasons MT. Wilcox had parted with his holdings of Delaware and Hudson stock. He is a director of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. There tlas been no announcement that he intends to retire from either of those companies.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
DEMONSTRATIONS OF BEARS

 ing of the Government Crop Report
 Delaware & Hudson salIles Five
 Points on News of President Will
 cox's Resignation and the Election
 of L. E, Lo~ee.
 The demonstrations that the bear crowd have made recently have proved fizzles. Stocks have come right back in price just as soon as they have been sold, It is understood that the Brandt Walker crowd sold 5O,O00 shares yester- day afternoon, mostly Union Pacific, in their efforts to break open the market again The "A. c. Brown pool" so called, have also been selling stocks. $. H. F. Pell 6 Co. sold 10000 shares around the room this morning. But there is not much satisfaction in sell ing into a bag.
 No complaint could be found in the showing of the government report on winter wheat. The condition of about 90 per cent. gives an estimated yield of 494, 100000 bushels This approxi- mates the actual 1906 crop, and allow ing for reduction of 75000,000 bushels between now and harvest, would equal the 1905 crop, which was considered a satisfactory yield To-day's report will go long way towards disputing the crop killers statements.
 A better market for industrial shares has been evident this week, While railroad shares have been uncertain for week past there has been a steady average gain in industrla1s. The inn provement in the steel issues, copper stocks, the metal shares, equipment and miscellaneous shares indicates that there is not much fear of an in- dustrial reaction. Furthermore the trusts are not in the market for new loans as the railroads are, and there is practically no visible evidence of ag- gressive legislative action against them.

The decline in the afternoon was en- gineered by the same people who brought about a reaction yesterday. They used the break in copper as sign of trade reaction, and made the most of the small trust company fail- ure in Philadelphia, which was ignored when it was first announced early in tho day.
