Calls Made by Proxy Now

The scurry of fashionable life is al its height now here. The season no longer leaves society women time to leave visiting cards at the homes of friends and appropriateness. After try ing to fulfill the formality by the help of their servants they now entrust the whole business to their stationers, who print the cards.
 Lists of card receivers are compiled and sent to the stationers, with the or ders for cards, and there the responsi- bility of fashionable ladies ends, the cards being delivered by a perfect stranger to both the visitor and the visitee.
 The distributor, however, is not an ordinary messenger. He is we'll dressed versed in the rules of etiquette, knows the proper calling hours, and how to se- cure the attention of funkeys.
 Only calls on intimate friends are now made by members of society in person. On these occasions corner of the card is turned down, and its recipi- ent, if absent, knows by this means that the call was not made by a dep uty.-London cable dispatch to New York Sun.

STOCK MARKET
 HAS QUIET DAY
Good Dividend Payers Are Recording Very Low Figures-Helvetia prcpar- ing to Build Railroad to Southern Pa cific Main Line.
(By H. H. Bru Col

GLOBE, May 1s.--There was no i'm. provement in the condition surrounding the general stock market in sight today only that money matters are easy and the crops are looking better. Prices re. main about the same. Some of the New York stocks held strong in the opening principally Amalgamated, but sold of On the close. At the present selling fig. ures United States Steel, Colorado Fuel X Iron and American Shelters looks like attractive investments.
 A number of the copper stocks arc also recording low prices and are splen- did investments. We recommend the purchase of Copper Range, Utah Con solidated, Amalgamated, North Butte, Anaconda, Old Dominion, Greene-Can- anea, Granby, Quincy and shannon. These are all good investments. As an investment of the non-dividend payers we would recommend the following stocks: Boston Consolidated, Nevada Consolidated, Cumberland Ely, Arizona Commercial, Michigan, Utah Apex and Helvetia. We wish to eall special at tention to Helvetia. This company is making preparations for extensive de- velopment of the mine and to construct railroad between the mine and the Southern Pacific main line. This will run the stock up into two figures within many moons. We recommend this stock as an investment.
 Local Stocks-Some of the local min ing companies are rushing development work. Your attention is called to Globe Consolidated, Superior & Boston, Ma tional, Keystone, Inspiration and Globe Arizona Copper company. Some of these companies can now ship enough ore to pay operating expenses, others are developing some good ore bodies and will be producers in the near fu- ture. At the prices they are selling they are all snaps.

CLEO, THE FAMOUS MIND READ RR; HERE FOR A SHORT TIME. OPPOSITE CouRrHousE. 1es
AS SLOW OUR SHIP

As slow our ship her foamy track
 Against the wind was leaving, Her trembling pennant still looked back To that dear isle 'twa leaving. So loath we part from all we love, From all the links that bind us; So turn our hearts as on we rove,
 To those we I've left behind us. When round the bowl of vanished years We talk with joyous seeming With smiles that might as well be tears, So faint, so sad their beaming; While memory brings us back again Each early tie that twined us. o sweet the cup that circles then
 To those we we left behind us. And when, in other climes we meet Some isle or vale enchanting, Where all looks fowery, wild and sweet And naught but love is wanting, We think how great had been our bliss If Heaven had but assigned us To live and die in scenes like this With some we I've left behind us. As travellers oft look back at eve
 When eastward darkly going, To gaze upon that light they leave Still faint behind them glowing So, when the close of pleasures day To gloom hath near consigned us, We turn to catch one fading ray Of joy that's left behind us.

o,od Rank Statement Fails to Have Appreciable Effect on the Eastern N,rkets-Present Outlook Not En- couraging and All News Is Bearish.
(Ry 1. N. KinseYl

GLOBE. May lS.-The present appar- ort staqnation in New York and Boston and the prevailing low prices have so Gar failed to have any severe effect on Iccal stocks, although trading is ex- tremelv dull. The advance in Helvetia uos the only curb feature of the day, s,Ias heinz made at s4.37. Globe Con. solidated remains strong with $l2.25 the ,nIipg price. while sales were made dur ;rg the day at $l2.37. Arizona Conner cisI sold of a point and Superior & Bos- ton was offered freely in the Copper Copntrv at $3.25, while bids of $3.00 failed to bring out a share. Calumet & GIobe could not be had for less than sI6 There were no features on the Boston curb or the New York exchange nm which there was but short session.
 Paine Webber of Boston say: Public interest tells the whole story. Stocks are sagging of their own weight and we see nothing in sight to make a change. We advise liquidating speeu- lstive lines and waiting until the mar ket shows some tendency to move. Sew cral stocks are selling too high in com psrison with others. Range earnings are more than Mohawk, but is selling three points less. Sell Mohawk until ratio changes. North Butte should not sell any higher than Copper Range.
 Walker Brothers of New York says: The market today as in the grain mar ket was weak with but little support. The break in the grain market today had but little effect and all day there was pressure. The bank statement was good but it brought out no support or caused any better feeling. The public seems to have no interest in the mar ket. With the present outlook it does not appear encouraging. A good many traders have sold out their long stocks and have stopped trading. We look for a period of dullness and with but little else than professional trading.
