WITH THE EDITORS
DR.. Watson.

The Rev. DR.. John Watson, perhaps
better known as Ian MaeIaren, who
died Monday. had one great gift which
II could be wished were more generally
possessed by ministers. namely, a sense
of humor. He was endowed with many
other admirable qualities-among them
a deep seriousness-but humor. of
course, in the best sense. was. we be-
lieve, his most marked trait. Many
great preachers have had it-Beecher
for instance and Phillips Brooks On
the other hand, some OF the greatest
such as Robertson-had little of it.
It's absence does not matter when a
man is sufficiently great. for in such
cases there is usually a divine sadness
which more than compensates for it.
To these life. though a high and noble
thing. is nevertheless a tragedy. But
even men OF this class are now and
then able to take a kindly humorous
view of the human situation. and SO
TO gain a great relief from the pressure
OF the woes OF the world.
We have all enjoyed DR.. Watsons
delightful stories. He taught once
more. as Thackeray did before him, that
humor and pathos are close of kin.
Sacrifice to him was a natural thing,
and he made it seem natural. And this
is the truth Of the matter as history
has many times demonstrated. People
were enchanted by the Doctor Of the
Old school, because they We're able to
enter into the feelings OF the hero. and
so to understand him. There was this
high and yet human realism in the
best OF this mans work. and we be-
ueve that 1t was to this quite as much
as 10 the charm of the story that the
popularity Of DR.. Watson's tales was
due. lie understood both the weakness
and strength of humanity. and for hui
mainly he had the deepest respect and
reverence. Admittedly, he was not a
great novelist. and yet no history OF
the literature of our time would be at
an adequate that did not markedly in
cSude him.
few words should perhaps be said
as to the influences which went to his
making. He was Scotch in every fiber
OF his being A graduate of the Uni
verslty Of Edinburgh. he was brought
into relations with the best thought of
his time. Though he belonged to no
school, we think OF him In connection
with Barrie and Stevenson, and may
perhaps believe that he was affected by
the romance and beauty OF his country.

The market is temporarily under the
influence of unfavorable crop news that
has been coming to hand. Next Fri
days government report will be re-
ceived with much interest, but as pros
poets for the winter wheat harvest
depend to a large extent on the weather
during the next two weeks, it would
be we'll not to go short of stocks on
the theory that there will be no repair
alton of the injury done in the wheat
fields; indeed, higher prices in the
stock market would be the immediate
response to better weather in the grain
regions, and it would be wise, in our
opinion, to take advantage of the pres
emit depression to buy for turn such
issues as the Hill and Hartman secur-

Commission business has dwindled to
nothing and brokers report that even
the habitues of their offices seem to
have forgotten how to trade. The So
called floor crowd, the professional ele-
ment and a few persons directly inter
ested in certain stocks made up the
trading fraternity This is evidenced
in the market particularly by it's mar
rowness and its concentration in the
highly speculative issues. Elimina-
ton of commission business is a hard
blow to the average brokerage house.
There are many so conservative that
they do no trading for themselve and
their members do not specialize in any
particular stocks. In such houses at
the present time business is necessarily
at a standstill.

Irregularity is likely again in the

not neglecting scalps in daily trading.

advocate a temporary adherence strict

A large number of invitations will be
issued for the affair and the committee

siders, we have every reason to be-
bullish attitude toward the market. and
the professional element will be quick
to turn from the bear side, as soon as
there is evidence of activity from that
quarter. Consequently, unless there be
no let up in the unfavorable crop news,
we look for higher prices before the
market suffers much Of a setback. In

that Secretary Cortelyou will withdraw

in banks in the near future, providing

with poor crop advices will operate
for lower opening and some further de-

of consequence will be permitted.

Deadwood. S. Oak. AUG. S.-That George

81. Eddy. is about to settle the famous
case which he began for an accounting Of
his mothers wealth. is currently believed
here Glover has gone East
TWO weeks ago there appeared at the
Glover home in Lead a young woman
named Miss Thompson of Boston, being
q former schoolmate Of Miss Mary
Glover daughter Of George W. Glover,
also one Of the plaintiffs in the suit.
Miss Thompson was welcomed. She lost
little time IN making known her mission.
To Glover she exhibited a letter written
In the well-known handwriting OF Mrs.
Eddy, and declared that she had been
sent as the leaders, special messenger.
Glover read the letter and turned pale.
"Dld my mother write this?" he ex-
claimed. and Miss Thompson assured him
that she did She asserted that Mrs
Eddy had summoned her into her pres
ence and told her she wished to com
municate with her son in a manner that
would insure only his receiving L. she
then asked Miss Thompson TO witness her

requesting that she take II personally TO
Glover.
What this letter contains IS not known
except that IN it Mrs. Eddy chided her
son by referring TO him as her "delUded
boy" and declared since he brought the
suit she was most willing to 90 into court.
The receipt of the letter caused Glover
much uneaslness. He had several con-
ferences with his local attorney, Judge
G. G. Bennett. and ceased giving public
interviews on the case, heretofore he
having talked freely.

WOULD TURN CLOCK BACK
More Daylight Object of Proposed
Change in Time.
Writer Plans to shorten Sundays and
Give Working People More Leis-
ure During Light.

London. Aug. Am interesting discus
sion has arisen in the English and French
press upon the point Of how a man can
make more use than now Of the available
hours Of daylight William Wlllett has
Just published a pamphlet on the subject.
He writes;
For nearly half year the sun shines
for several hours each day while we are
asleep, and is rapidly nearing the horizon
when We reach home after the work of
the day is over. Under the most favor
able circumstances, there then remains
only a brief spell Of declining daylight in
which to spend the short leisure at our
disposal.
Nov, if some Of the hours Of wasted
sunlight could be withdrawn from the be
ginning and added 10 the end Of the day.
how many advantages would be gained
by all. especially by those who remain
ia the open air when the light per-
mits them to do so, whatever time they
have after the duties Of the day have been
discharged. BY a simple expedient these
advantages can be secured. We can have
eighty minutes more daylight after 6
p. m. every day during May June, July,
and August. and an average of forty-fve
minutes more every day during April and
September. The expedient which 7 pro-
pose is that at a m. on each of the four
Sunday mornings in April the standard
time shall advance twenty minutes, and
on each of the four Sundays in September
shall recede twenty minutes.
Another means OF arriving approx
mately at TIE same end would be to
alter the clock thirty minutes on six Sun
days, the last three in April and the first
three in September. We lose nothing and
gain most substantially. Having made
casions with Sunday of % hours and 40
minutes long. or p hours and so minutes
long on three occasions, the advantages
aimed at Will follow automatically, with
out any trouble whatever Everything
will go on just as it does now, except
that as the later hours of the day come
around they viii bring more light with
them"
AIr Willett calculates that on an aver
age 2l0 hours Of daylight are wasted
every year by every person. The ex-
pense of the artificial light used in this
time will be saved bodily. A man who
left work at p. m. would have as much
daylight before him as a man who leaves
now at $40 Saturdays. if he left at y
O'Clock, it would be equal TO stopping
work under present conditions at 1870
