BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 7.-There was con-
siderable difference OF opinion in specuia-
tive circles today as to whether the rally
which was SO pronounced in yesterdays
stock market would go very much further.
1t was claimed that the short interest was
stu very large. and the bear party appar-
emily had lost little OF its confidence. Those
who believed that prices would not go much
higher at this time called attention to the
fact that most Of the conditions in the sit
uation at large, which have been regarded
as unfavorable for many weeks, still ex-
listed and were likely to exist for an in
definite period. 1t was also pointed out that
by reason Of the severe losses which have
been suffered during recent weeks. the
speculative buying power had been ma
terially reduced, and 1t was also claimed
that the lack OF confidence In the market
was still sufficiently great to keep out a
element, except for quick turns.
-
In opposition to this theory was the be-
lief that investment buying Of the stand
ard stocks at present prices, and particu-
larry on any further recessions would be
sufficient in the aggregate to- steady the
market. While it Is generally conceded
that the rally yesterday was due In large
degree to covering by frightened shorts,
brokers reported q much larger volume Of
aggressive new buying than they had seen
for many days. Some observers expressed
the opinion this morning that prices would
be lower at the opening. chiefly because OF
a fresh attack on the part Of the bear con-
tingent, but after the first furry was over
they thought the market would likely re-
cover materially.
The best information obtainable this
morning as to the Reading situation is that
Mr.. H. C.. Prick and his associates have
taken back the stock which they sold be-
tween 140 and $50. 1t seems to be doubted
that they bought the stock for the purpose
of control or of turning over control to
other interests. It is believed that so tar,
at least, the transaction is chiefly specula-
tive. 1t is intimated, however, that In due
time, it may assume more serious and
significant character.

HOW TO BE A cENTENARIAN.
Sir Lauder Brunton's Advice to Those
Who Would Reach 100.

Though threescore years and ten is
generally regarded as the normal span
Of life. there are no insuperable reasons
in the opinion Of Sir Lauder Brunton,
why it should not be the rule rather
than the exception for men and women
to retain their activity until ninety and
even one hundred.
THE number of men living to one
hundred years per 100000 of the popu-
lation in 1891 to 1900 is only seven and
Of women twenty-four. as compared
with fifteen men and thirty women in
1898 to 1854" he says.
Sir Lauder Brunton regards dust rs
one of the greatest enemies Of old age.

This occurred with such regularity
that at last l took to spongeing the top

acid before using it."

SYLVESTER EVE IN HUNGARY.
Part Contributed by Young Pigs to the
Revel.

The two great symbols of good luck
i'm Hungary are the four-leaved Sham
rock and young pig. Pigs and sham
rock may be found on all seasOnable
cards. The squeal OF the pig rang out
as a perpetual accompaniment. Ions
before the ordinary hour all the coffee
houses filed up and sitting room was
at a premium.
Jollity is the keynote Of Sylvester
Eve in Hungary. You must drink TO
your own health and to that Of your
friends many times before the hands
of the clock point to midnight. In all
the big hotels there exists an entertain
tanning custom. Just as the clock
strikes u every light is lowered the
walters retiring behind a screen. where
they break as many bottles as they are
able to lay their hands upon. and just
as the din appears to be unbearable
five young squealing pigs are let loose
in the dining room. the object OF every =
body being To touch one of the pigs
first. for in doing 50 good fortune IS
said To reward the energy expended.
Those able to hold n pig may accept
such as a suitable prize. 1t Is impos-
sible to describe the confusion conse-
quent upon this annual occurrence. The
uproar is unconceivable.-Pall Mall Ca
zette.

the air blows with force is to be care
fully avoided.
"One reason of this probably Is that
wind blowing through a chink causes
a more rapid current Of air and thus
chills the part of the body against
which IT impinges much more quickly
than air moving slowly. and still more
than air which is not moving at all"
Improper mastication of food is also
fruitful cause Of organic disease in

der Brunton says. may, to a certain
extent at least. be responsible for the
large proportion OF cancer of the
stomach which occurs in men more
than in women at the age Of fifty-fiye

MESA
PICTURE AGENT HEARD OF.
Parties WHO Sent Photographs to be
Enlarged, May Now Have Them
Returned.

About a year and a half ago a So
licitor for a picture charging concern
canvassed this country and secured a
large number of orders and of course
got in his possession a number of pho
tographs, some Of which were priced
very highly. Before the young fellow
had completed his canvass he became
entangled in a seIiOus affair and was
compelled to leave the country consid-
erably ahead of schedule time. The
house which he claimed to be working
for has been questioned about the af-
fair but no light has been thrown on
the matter until a few days ago when
letter was received here from J. W.
KOpke Of 727 Belmont avenue, Chicago.
Kopke claims that the solicitor sent
the pictures to him to be enlarged with
instructions TO send them back to Ari-
IONA. e. o. D. He states that he did
that but that the enlarged pictures
were never called for and that they
We're returned to him. He is very anX-
ious that the goods be taken off his
hands at $3.50 per as he has no par
ticular desire TO keep the exact repro
duction Of Mesa residents in his Chi
cagO studio. He offers to ship the pho
tographs and enlarged pictures c. o.
d. He claims TO know nothing of the
solicitor who took the orders only that
he did the work as ordered and that
he was in no way connected with the
young man who became rather we'll ad-
vertised before he got out of the val
lev
