matist of wide fame. received the

at his home in Gramercy park to-
day on the occasion of his 90th
birthday. Mr.. Bigelow was gradu-

SMALL BUYERS
TO The RESCUE
INVESTORS IN STOCKS AND IN
DUSTRIALS SEND, GOOD MON
Ely INTO CIRCULATION WITH
PERFECT CONFIDENCE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--Invest-
ment buying in small lots of rail-
road and industrial securities in
Wall street still continues unprece-
denied in volume, and the stock
transfer officers are overwhelmed
with work in transferring the names
of new security holders. The enor-
nous odd lot buying, bringing as 1t
does thousands of dollars into cir
culation, has been in progress for
several weeks. and is doing more
than anything else, perhaps, to eff
feet relaxation in the stringent
currency conditions.
Transfer books show a record
breaking number of stockholders,
and in the case of the Northern Pa
cific railroad the number of stock
holders has more than doubled in
the last six months. There are now
5000 shareholders, while the trans
! fer books six months ago only con-
tanned 1900 names. Within the last
half year the number of stockhold-
ers of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road has leaped from 1900 to 1900.
The large number of new shareho1d-
ers of the Great Northern railroad
has swamped the transfer depart
ment of the company with work and
CURES of the increase of new share
holders are not obtainable, though
Vice President Nichols stated today
that from November 1, 1901, to No.
vember IA, 1907, the books showed
an increase of 48S per cent. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
took on over 1900 stockholders in
the six weeks preceding Novem-
Der Is.
James L. Carter, manager of the
transfer department of j. P. Morgan
& Co., states that there appears no
diminution of the odd lot buying
which has been in progress since
stocks have fallen to bargain prices.
The average number of shares pur-
chased by the stockholders, accord
ing to Mr.. Carter, varies from 80
in the case of the Northern Pacific,
to SO shares as shown on the books
of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
"It is this buying" said Mr.. Car
ter, chat is doing SO much to help
the situation While the average
number of shares purchased varies
from SO to 40, there are no end OF
purchased of three shares and up
wards. Shares are being bought for
the account of those living in VII
lagos and towns throughout tine
United States"

resulted in a slump in the cattle and

stock and state unless the marker
strengthens within short time they
will turn their stock into the neius

phone purposes The upper strand of the wire
fence was first used in the State of Washington
AS "A telephone wire, and since then it has been
employed for tins purpose IN half dozen more
States. Millions OF acres OF land are fenced IN
with the wire fence. and sections of the country
can thus bc tapped bv the telephone companies
Al httlc expense BY tapping the fence line
each farm house along route can bc connected
without putting up poles and special wires.
These wire fence lines prove more suitable in
the wilderness and prairie districts than special
wires strung from high poles. They are not So

snow and ice. They are drawn tight, and are
strung ON posts stationed every fifteen TO
twenty feet.
The tapping Of the telephone wire fences is
much easier however. than the regular wires

using the wires without paving for the service

cases used. 1t the farmer wished To telephone
