DISORDER MAINTAINED
TO The WEEKS END
The Last Day of the Stock Market
Was the Worst of the Six.

New York. Aug. xo.-There was a
demoraliZed tone in the short session
of the market today as a windup to a
week Of disorder. In the last five min
utes the bears bought with some reck-
lessness to reap profits accrued from
the extensive fall of prices. With that
exception there was no effective buy
ing, and prices crumbled away almost
uninterruptedly under a flood OF sales
in all variety of sizes.
Pacific railroad stocks and copper
industrials showed the most acute
weakness.
Union Pacific fell to an extreme of
SIS. The maximum decline in the ac-
tive buying OF Hill stocks. Southern
Pacific. Reading, American Smelling
affected in only less degree with losses
running four points or more.
The whole market turned on the
governmental and public attitude to-
wards corporations.
Statements published in the morning
as coming from Attorney General Bon
aparte after an interview with the
president were the central factors in
the new anxiety professed by holders
of securities.

of $40 per month in salary, and in the
case Of an operator who was employed
as secretary to one of the officials, in
whose case an offer was made of a
salary slightly less than he had receiv-
ed.
1t specified that the case of Operator
Ryan, whose discharge precipitated
the walkout in this city. might be TAX
en- up by himself or a committee of en-
ployes after the men return to work
under the terms of the letter address,
ed by Col. Clowry to Labor Commits
sioner Neill last June. If Ryan justi-
fies himself in an investigation he will
be reinstated according to the propos-
al. and be paid for the time he has lost.
A half dozen speeches were made by
members when the offer was laid be-
fore the meeting. The speakers were
all in favor of rejecting the
offer, and this was done by a
unanimous vote. The operators then
decided to prepare a counter PROPOSE
tion to be submitted through Stewart,
but i'm the appointment of the committee
il was stipulated that there should be
no settlement of the local strike without
first obtaining the approval of the
unions on the strike throughout the

THE SITUATION IN FRISCO.


San Francisco, Aug. 10-Telesraphers'
Union No. 81 embracing the union op-
orators of san Francisco and Oakland
will meet tomorrow to decide whether
they will go on strike or remain at
the keys. There is said TO be at pres
ent no pronounced majority either
way and that the result of the vote
is a matter of conjecture. On the quiet
a canvass is said to have disclosed a
sentiment in opposition to striking
among the men who were idle in the
first trouble with the companies and
who it is claimed were crampei finan-
cially by their enforced vacation.
The following telegram was received
by President Small of the National
Telegraphers from Ethelbert Stewart.
the representative of Labor Commiss-
ioner Neill who is at Los Angeles: 81
have been informed that you have
called a meeting for tomorrow for a
vote as to whether a strike shall be
called at San Francisco and Oakland.
/ trust that this is not true. Even to
vote on such a proposition inside of
thirty DAYS from July 10 Would indi-
cate a willingness to break you- agree
ment and to strike there would end all
possibility of a settlement here
Mr.. Small sent the following reply:
THE report not correct. To hint at
a Willingness on our part 70 break the
agreement sounds like n huge joke. l
respectfully suggest that you return to
Oakland and investigate carefully.
You will find that Manager O'Brien
and Chief Operator Jeffs have broken
their agreement every hour in the day
since July 10. The matter cannot be
adjusted locally. See my telegram to
Wooten."
His reference to Wooten means that
the latter wired him today asking IL
the reinstatement of Operator Ryan
whose discharge caused the walkcut
would result in a settlement of the
strike. Mr.. Small replied that the Los
Angeles strike had ceased to be n To-
cal one and having become National
he was no longer able to control it.

Special Guidance Needed.

Edwin A. Halsey, late assistant
charge d'affaires of the senate press
gallery, who halls from Virginia, is re-
sponsible for the following story: An
old darkey who had not been to
church for a long time appeared one
night at prayer meeting. His presence
at the meeting was commented on by
one of his brethren of the church. The
conversation between the two was
something like this: Say, Brother
Johnson, amt saw you heah at de
meetin' house for considerable dura-
tion." Oats So" replied Brother
Johnson; Use been very busy" We'll,

IT'S curious how the people have

said the old farmer, as the matter OF
graft and trusts we're touched upon.
II had four hogs to sell and advertised
them in the village paper. Half a
dozen people came out to see them,
and among them was a widow. She
wanted me to swear to the breed, the
weight and the fact that the hogs
we're in good health. She wanted to
be assured Of their good eyesight and
hearing. She wanted to be satisfied
that they were good.natured hogs. She
wanted ne to sign a paper that /
had raised the porkers instead Of
stealing them. When had done all
this and the sale was about effected
she suddenly turned and walked away.
Hello, now, what's the matter" / call
ed after her. You've cut their tails
off, she replied. Yes that was done
when they were pigs Then you
knock off 80 cents apiece for missing
tails, or | don't buy. It's whole hog
or none and no graft"

A GREAT SAVING.

Here is an amusing tale from
Germany about man who thought
he was a very clever financier, and
vet does not seem to have had quite
as much sense as boy who knows
enough TO go in when it rains:
A barge was being towed up the
Nockar from Mannheim to Heidel-
berg, and shoemaker on the tramp,
with a large knapsack on his back,
came up and asked the bargeman
how much he would charge him for
ride on the boat. The bargeman,
who was a bit of a wag, replied:
"Fifteen ki,uzers; but if you help
pull, only SIX" The shoemaker
thought the matter over for a
minute or two, and, calculating that
he would save nine kreuzers by
helping to pull, threw his bag into
the boat and cheerfully tugged at
the rope all the way to Heidelberg,
when he forled out the six kreuzers
and shouldered his knapsack again.

wife and three children. For 60 years
there had not been case of illness in
his family. ais father and mother
lived in the ,ottage be re him; his
father died at the age of SO and the
mother at 80. He did not think that
there could be much wrong with the
cottage in the face of these facts. In
reply to the clerk the old fellow said
that personally he had never had a
doctor, and the only time a medical
man had been in his cottage was when
his little son had scalded his leg.
Under the exceptional circumstances
the council decided TO adjourn the
matter for further inquiries to be
made.

DUE TO GIFT OF SPEECH.
Many and Various Are the Benefits
Says Writer In Puck.

The gift of speech Is the last proof
of divine favor, in virtue Of which
mankind has the rest of the animal
kingdom faded, and stands in a class
by himself. Some beasts are stronger
than men, and some know more, but
no beast can be such bore as man,
nor can any beast Stop over, in the
true sense Of the term. These dis
tlnctions we owe to the gift of speech.
The gift Of speech, moreover, lays us
under oompulsion to read u great
many things which otherwise we
would not, in order that when we
have nothing to say, we may never
theless say something. Thus we pro
mote the publishing business, create
a demand for wood-pulp, assist in the
deforestation of the earths surface
stir up a new school Of kickers, In
crease discomfort and contribute, al
length, to progress and petulance. Our
ancestors used to consider speech a
means of concealing thought, but we
have nothing to conceal.-Puck.
