The Trouble at the stove.

DR.. @. A. Lamson Of New Lon
don, while at school at Andover, N.
H., with several other boys, attended
campfire of the G. A. r., at Will
mot. II was several degrees below
zero,. and the stove was red hot
when veteran named Chase came
in. He was a large man, and very
bowlegged. As he stood by the flIe
Doc" as he was always called,
stepped up and slapped him on the
back, saying: please excuse me,
but fear you are standing too near
the stove"
The veteran looked ut the stove,
then at his clothes. and said: "Did
you think, young fellow, that my
clothes were burning2"
mo. sir; r;but I saw that your legs
were warping," was the reply.

THE MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, June 10.-Considerlng
t',s fact that the stock market had
advanced considerably in Cne last half
Of last week the great majority OF
trading spectators we're inclined to
the opinion before the stock exchange
opesed today that prices Of stocks dur
ing the day would decline irrespec-
tive OF any developments In the way
OF news bearing upon the market.
These conclusions were not at all IL
logical. The market at present Is
confessed extremely narrow and ex-
tremely professional, and while an i'm
provement in speculative sentiment
has lately been discernible II is COM
monty held not to be such as to justi-
fy hopes of an. immediate and broad
advance in prices.
The stock market does not now en-
Joy TO the extent that It did several
months ago, the presence In Wall
street OF large body Of rich and pow
erful spectators who are quick to
utilize every pretext that Is presented
to them for speculating either for the
rise or for the fall In values on an
extended scale. Unquestionably under
conditions such as ruled In the mar
ket for a long time previous to the
present year there would have been
witnessed today a vigorous rise In
prices. To begin with developments
with reference to the foreign security
markets were more favorable. The
liquidation that has been going on in
London for Paris accounts eased, and
the Paris bankers did not bid at all
for gold in the open market, allowing
the bank OF England to secure at re-
duced price both for her own and for
the account OF the Indian government
all of the $3,500,000 offering there to-
day. Discounts in London declined
in response to this, and sterling In
Paris rose; and as an inevitable fur
ther result there was no more gold
engaged here during the day for the
bank OF France. II IL too soon to ex-
press the opinion that the movement
OF gold from this side to Europe that
has lately set in, has entirely been
suspended.
The governments figures when they
were made known were disappointing
to the crop killers. The condition OF
winter wheat was at TIA, a decrease
OF only 6h points, from the May
figures, and level not unduly low for
the time OF year. The statistical aver
age OF spring wheat was estimated at
ss.7 as compared with 93.4 at the same
time last year. pointing to spring
wheat crop OF 256.192,o00 bushels,
which considering decres sc OF 100000
acres In the spring whe, area. shows
a condition OF the crop decidedly above
the average OF previous year. Alto
gether the promise Of the moment is
for a crop OF both spring and winter
wheat OF 625. 200, 900 bushels az against
prophecies at the same time year
ago OF 7l4,000,000 bushels and final
harvest in 1907 OF 7S5, ,0O0,OO, bushels.

SIR GILBERT PARKER.

From the Washington Herald.
 Sir Gilbert Parker has Just come before the public with a new novel He has been writing for a good many years, and 1t Is through his novel writing that he has attained his eminence. He is still only 45 years of age, having been born in Canada in 1862. He is, in its best sense. a cosmopolitan man of the world, for he Is not only familiar with America and Europe and Egypt the South Sea Islands and Australia, but has studied the people of these lands with sympathy and in- sight He first attracted attention In the early sos by some short stories of marked aud distinctive quality, located in the Canadian northwest. A novel fol- lowed, then another, and then came "The Right of Way" which was one of the most popular books of itse period. Sir Gilbert is not only prominent in con temporaneous literature, but is a large figure in English social life. and is a distinct power in parliament, of which he has been a member for seven years. He lives in a beautiful house in Carlton Ter race the most exclusive social quarter of London. and he also has a charming stone cottage on a little estate in the country, where he does most of his work

Politics in Tennessee

Tennessee does not elect a governor until November, 1908, but already the entries for the race are made up. Gov ernor Patterson expects the customary renomination, and behind him stands Senator Frazier, whose term expires March 3, 1911. But these men are not, however, to have walkovers, for Ed ward Ward Carmack has announced his candidature for governor, and Sen ator Bob Taylor is his chief packer. MT. Carmack insists that the demo- crats themselves shall make the nomi- nation in a general primary. Governor Patterson cannot with good grace de- cline a challenge to go before the peo- ple, and no doubt Tennessee will have next year a warm campaign, for Gov ernor Patterson and MT. Carmack are strong stump speakers, and the two Senators behind them are also stump CTS of renown also.
 The state executive committee has not yet ordered primary, but 1t un- doubtedly will in deference to public sentiment do so. While MT. Carmack will go before the people as candi- date for governor, yet 1t is not believed that he desires to be governor beyond one term. He desires to return to the Senate, and perhaps 1t will be arranged in his state to make William M. Bran don of Dover governor in that case. But whoever defeats MT. Patterson and the special interests arrayed in his support has battle to fight, and Ten nessee will get surfeit of politics.

Lands in Barbour County

The sale of 18,000 acres of farm lands by the Conner company has be- come an interesting subject for dis cussion among the people of Alabama. The lands lie at or near Conner station on the Central Railroad of Georgia between Eufaula and Union Springs. The lands were purchased not because of the timber they hold, but because of their value in the growing of crops of cotton and corn. The price paid was about nine dollars an acre, and that is certainly low price for good growing lands in view of either present or prospective prices for the staple. A portion of the lands at least lies in the Black Belt, and certainly lands in that belt are worth more than nine dollars an acre, always provided they are not in a swamp. The labor situation involves, it is true, the culti- vation of large farms on the landlord
 and-tenant plan, but even on that basis good cotton lands should bring more than nine dollars an acre.
 The Montgomery Advertiser says 1t Is rumored that the lands in question are to pass into hands that will estab- fish on them a large negro agricultural school Booker T. Washington is not connected with the transaction in any manner. The Conner lands are thirty or more miles from Tuskegee, and no direct rail line connects them. If MT. Thompson, the purchaser, holds the lands for a negro agricultural college the scheme remains to be developed, and the good people of Barbour and Bullock are awaiting with interest ad- ditional information. Tn any event the sale of 1S,000 acres of land in one body is of moment, for 1t goes to show what large farms in Alabama are worth.

Chlp and Mary Marble.

Arthur c. Williams, representing Joe Weber's production, Dream City" has been in Birmingham several days arTang Ing for the presentation of this success ful musical play at the Jefferson theatre, Wednesday and Thursday evening, Octo- Der and 10, with a matinee Thursday.
 The organization, headed by the diminu tive comedian, Little Chip, and the inimi- table Mary Marble, number nearly GO people and includes many musical comedy artists of recognized ability The chorus itself is one of the features of the pro- ductlon. It is a typical Weber chorus.
 Dream City" was one of the few New York successes of last season and scored a. most emphatic hitat Weber's Broadway theatre. It ran for months to capacity business. The libretto and lyrics are by Edgar Smith and the music by Maurice Levi.
 MT. Williams says that the original production exactly as presented in New York, will be used for the engagement here, and as 0 special attraction the famous oratoro singer and prima donna soprano Mme Lillian Blauvelt, will posi- lively be heard In song selections during the second act of Dream City"

Mr. Rockefeller on Trusts

John D. Rockefeller stopped long enough il game of golf last week to say that th. Standard Oil and other trusts would proceed on the line of "consolidation and combination" faster in the next forty years than they have in the last forty years. Stripped of all ambiguity this simply means that the trusts intend to drive the small indus try and the small proprietor out alto gether to the end that consumers may be exploited by huge non-competing corporations.
 Rockefeller appeals to all to accept the trusts as finalty, and to aid them in establishing themselves even as he established the Standard on. He does not talk about any reorganization of the Standard Oil. No, indeed He knows nothing of any reorganization or change. He proposes to keep on crushing out competitors and strength ening the monopoly of that concern in all the products 1t handles.
 This brings the issue squarely be-

GOWNS COST THOUSANDS.
Hundred Women in New York Spend
 5000 a Year Each on Dress.

Fromthe New York Herald.
 Expert opinion fixes the average annual cost of New York woman's clothing at S2S5. This is not large sum, but is the figures on which balances the thousands who do not spend $50 and the scores who spend s35,O0o. A gown for the latter costs more than the entire expense of the family of the former.
 There are about 100 women in the me- tropolis who spend S5,0oo a year each on dress. and it Is not difficult to do so If one gets the necessary gown and accompani- ments in order to be well dressed for each of the numerous occasions required by social custom Then there are some 12,o00 women in the city who each spend s14,O0o a year, and abbout 5000 who go close to 5000
 One days shopping, not buying, simply as an experiment. showed how easy these highest figures can be reached. A furrier offered a fine sable coat for the reason able price" of 5000, while the milliner suggested a fitting hat to go with 1t for $70, and the bootmaker selected proper footwear for SIP. The coat does not have to be renewed every month, but there must be other coats, and it was learned that the proper complement from opera cloak down to the smallest jaunty street affair of fine cloth and exquisite trim ming would cost a trifie of something like S20,0 Then there should be mat ter of twenty-five hats, with their decora- tions of fine feathers and laces that aver age not more than $55 each, and there must be more shoes than hats that can De had from sS to S20 pair. Hats and shoes are subject to frequent change.
 This is all very well for the outside but there must be at least a score of gowns to go with this, and gowns soon grow old and must frequently be renewed The best dressmakers want from s7O0 to s1 300 for the fine garments suitable for balls and dinner. Then all sorts of house and

Nr. Fairbanks' Cocktails

The innocent cocktail of the Man haitian sort with a cherry lurking In It became an issue at the .quadrennial meeting of the lay electoral confer ence of the Indiana annual Methodist body when Vice President Fairbanks wanted to be a lay delegate to the general conference which meets in Baltimore next May Seven men were to be achieved as lay delegatae by the Methodists in the southern part or Indiana, including Indianapolis, which is MT. Fairbanks home town. The friends of the vice president were early in the field, and so were his opponents, and the sole issue involved related to the cocktails served when President Roosevelt was entertained at luncheon by the vice president at Indianapolis on Memorial Day.
 The balloting was begun and dele gate after delegate was selecIeu lo go to Baltimore next May, but the name of Fairbanks did not appear. His friends became angry, and they got up and withdrew his name. When the pastor of his own church pleaded for MT. Fairbanks he was told that had they sent him as a lay delegates to Baltimore 1t would have meant that Methodism acquiesced in the serving of cocktails at dinner, and not only acquiesced in 1t but sanctioned it as well, for they would be sending a man to represent the Indiana conference who was reported to have practiced it himself"
 The cocktail issue may not spread beyond Indiana, but it Is certainly a deep-felt matter in that state, and MT. Fairbanks will stay at home next May.

QUEER FUNERAL DIRECTIONS.

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Sir James Colquhoun, whose recently proved will contains @ direction that his body should be dressed for burial in even Ing costume, was one of many men who have made unconventional arrangements for their treatment. One of the most singular of these testamentary directions was that of John Underwood of Whittle- sea, whose body, fully dressed, was placed in a green coffin. Under his head was placed copy of Horace, his feet rested on Bentley's 'Milton," Bentley's g Horace" was placed beneath his back. and on his right and left sides were third Horace and a Greek Testament. Mrs Margaret Cousins of Cuxton, in Kent, made her last journey attired in a flaming dress of scarlet silk, and coal newer of Tong, near Leeds Gone Jack Trustler), was laid to rest with his head pillowed on a lump of coal and with his pipe and tobacco by his side.
