The selling price Of a New York Stock
exchange seat may usually be taken as a
fairly accurate barometer of the partlci-
patton of the public in the stock market
and the subsequent abundance OF business
among the commission firms or the lack OF
It. The sale Of seat last week for $76,OOO
5000 less than the last sale and the lowest
price which has been heard of since the
close Of 1903, is credited among the members
not so much to the expectation OF lean
times ahead as to the fact that it was
pressed for sale.

After the police of the Fulton Street sta
ton, Brooklyn, had been hunting for sew
eral hours for two desperate men. who, he
asserted, had garroted, chloroformed and
robbed him, Robert St Clair, 10 years old,
owned up that he had been romancing.
Policemen had stumbled across the lad lying
unconscious in front OF a house in Brooklyn
Heights, and for a time there was much
mystery about the affair.
The boy said that he had been unable
to get into his home and had gone to a
nearby restaurant to wait until It was time
for his fathers Teturn. While sitting in the
place he thought 1t would make a fine sem
sation II he should be found chloroformed,
victim of highwaymen. Acting on the in
spiration, he went to a Fulton street drug
store and managed to fool the clerk into
selling him a small quantity of chloroform.
Going into Cranberry street, he poured a
few drops Of the drug on his handkerchief.
then tied the linen over his face and laid
down on the sidewalk The chlorofOrm soon
got in its work, and he was really uncon-
scious when found.

The exclusive Colony club, the $1,000 900
home OF which was dedicated last week, is
something more than social organization.
In fact, while many women who are lead
ers OF the social circles of New York are
members, the social butterflies have not
been asked to become members. The mem
bershlp, which is limited to 600. is already
800; and included in this membership are
such actresses as Maude Adams and Ethel
Barrymore, such writer's as Kate Douglas
Wiggin (Mrs. Riggs and Miss jeanette
Glider. Artists and business women are
also included in the membership. The club
was the idea Of Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
daughter-in-law of e. H. Hartman, presl-
dent of their organization. She has given
much of her time to advancing the inter-
ests of the club. The club house, which is

The resolutions are fairly represen-

the delegates able body of men
as ever gathered on similar occa-
sion. Not so radical as the majority
believed, they were vet much more
pronounced than would have been
expected. except under the most
powerful stress of conviction, from
convention composed four-fifths Of
republicans and nearly third Of
federal Office holders or ultra parti-
sans sent for the express purpose
of preventing criticism. The resolu-
tions stand respectfully but firmly
against the presidents $ policy of per
petual landlordism, of leasing. of fed
eral water control, of petty charges.
of rnaudlin forestry and OF restric-

gates took this position not because
