LULL IN SITUATION.
Excitement in Financial Circles
Has Materially Subsided.
STOCK MARKET STILL WEAK
Declines Were Not Of Sensational
Character and Caused No uneasi-
nsss-Hitch in Plans for Reorganiz-
Ing Mercantile National.

New York, Oct. 21-There was a
distinct lull in the financial situation
In this city during the day, which was
Very welcome to Wall street. In COM
parison with the previous day the ex-
citement had materially subsidized.
While the price of metal stocks de-
clined on the stock exchange the
losses were not sensational and the
prices OF railroad stocks were held
better than had been expected AL
though the market closed weak and
at the lowest price1 of the day the
net losses for the day were not heavy
and caused no uneasiness.
The center of interest was in the
situation created by the developments
in the Mercantile National bank, the
affairs Of which were considered again
at meeting Of the clearinghouse
committee. While no official state
ment was made at the close of this
meeting several of those present at
the conference permitted it to become
known that no conclusion had been
reached as to the continuance of sup
port to the Mercantile National bank
except from day to day. 1t was re-
ported, but not confirmed, that further
assistance to the bank depended upon
the attitude of some of the directors
whose designations We're demanded.

1t was said that Charles w. Morse,
who is heavily interested in the Mer-
camille and several other banks in
this city, does not feel that the res
ignations of himself and of his other
friends should be regarded as per-
manent.
+. Augustus Heinze, the deposed
president of the bank, In an interview,
said.

the Mercantile National bank | have
not parted with share of my Mer.

about the clearinghouse committee:
They were asked to come into our
bank and make thorough examina-

and said SO. Later they added that
gratuitous blow about the surplus i'm

that-nothing more or less than to in

accounts. A fine game-they were
endeavoring to attract deposits to
their own institutions"

A Frost DesoIated Land.

learned from an eyewitness some
thing about Spitzbergen, that desert
arctic island 800 miles north Of the
North cape Of Norway and within 700
miles Of the north pole; frost desolat-
ed land, where the grass grows longer
than the trees and huge glaciers in the
ice bridged valleys amid the jagged
mountains move majestically down in
to the sea until mighty icebergs,
monstrous birth, break off and rise
to the surface amid thunderous reports
once the only sound that broke the
profound silence Of those awful soil
tudes. Spitzbergen is the only spot Of
earth that is positively known as No
Mans land. 1t is the possession Of
no country and has nothing even re-
sembling specified government. The
island seems likely to remain No
Mans Land, though 1t is said that an
effort has been made by Norway to
establish some sort Of protectorate over

WAS supreme moment during the bat
tie Of Waterloo when the Duke of
Wellington was left absolutely alone,
and that not when he was running the
risk Of capture by sailing through the

every galloper had gone his way, each
with his message. At this moment a
stranger rode up to the duke and quiet
ly asked, "Can 1 be Of any use. sir?"
The duke took one glance at him and
unhesitatingly answered, "Yes, take
this pencil note to the commanding Of
flcer," pointing to regiment in the
heat Of the battle. The stranger took
the note and galloped away with 1t
through the thick Of the fight. He de-
livered it, but what happened to him
no man knows. The duke always de-
clared that to be one Of the most gal
liant deeds that had ever come under
his notice. 1t was done without pros

COWBOYS BOOTS.
Why tho PIainsnen Want High and
Sharp Pointed Heels.


In Olathe, Kan, there is factory
which makes 200 pairs of cowboy
boots each week. Each pair of these
boots is made to order. The company
has n catalogue, which n sends to the
cattle ranches throughout the south
west. 1t tells the cowboys how to take
measurements of their own feet. These
are sent to the factory and the boots
made and sent out

GRATED with fancy lines and curves
sewed into the leather, and, above ev-
erything else, the heel must be at
least two inches high. must curve in
ward from the back, and the bottom of
the heel must be very small.
A cowboy takes especial pride i'll two
things-his hat and his boots. He often
pays $50 for his hat, and the best of
the cowboy boots cost from So to SIG
The ordinary shoemaker cannot make
boots to suit true cowboy; he cannot
get the heels right, and so the cowboy
sends away for them and pays big
price and express charges besides.
The factory in Olathe employs fifty
men. All of the work is done by hand,
and some of the shoemakers were
brought from Germany and England
especially to work in that factory.
Cowboys say they have high and
sharp pointed heels r. their boots not
because Of vanity and pride, but as a
matter Of convenience. The high heels
