Letter tn Dr. j. r.. RutJedOe,
Lancaster, = G..

Dear Sir: The easest way we know of
to make a little money is if you're going
to paint to pant with the paint that
takes least gallons
Take small job; say it takes 10 gallons
Devoe, two coats; that's an average house;
when the job is done an1 the bill comes in
1t Is $50; the paint etc. S.7.5U; the rest IL
for laLOr and carriage; the labor is fixing
the surface, shifting laddcls, scaffDlds pull
leys and ropes, and brushing-on paint
lake another job exactly like that; try
another paint:it takes ~ gallons. The bill
is Slo more. Take another exactly the same
another paint; it takes 20 gallons. The
bill is 500.
There is only one Devoe; there's dozen
l2gallOn paints and 100 that take 20 gal
Ions to cover logallon job.
The only difficulty is in finding-out De-
voc After that You save work. thoi Il less
work in 10 than in IL or 20 gallons; less
paint 10 buy and less to brush-on and less
wages to pay.
If Devoe were only little better than
others, thore'd be some difficulty in find
ing ont the difference. 1t goes twice as far
as half the paints; that ought TO be easy.
ID wears longer too. You'll wait good
while il you wait 10 find ont how long it
wears; there are thousands Of peopl- who
know that the least-gallons paint wears
longest.
Yours truly

Blamed For Decrease in
Stock Exchange Activity.
Professionals Had Things Their
Own Way Last Week.
Money Seems Plentiful For In.
vestment.-.Exchange Rate High.

New York, Nov. 29.-The play OF
contending opinions reflected in the
action of the securities market last
week had to do with effort to adjust
the relative force of the undiminished
confidence over the commercial and in
dustrial outlook and the question of
how far that outlook had been dis
counted in the speculation. Restora-
tion of the previous weeks decline in
prices was quickly and easily effected,
aided by the requirements of the short
interest left uncovered on that decline.
The tone of hesitation and uncertainty
appeared after the recovery and indi-
Gated degree of reluctance on the
part of buyers in following prices to
new high stages. Transactions UNDER
went a decided shrinkage in volume, no
single days dealings rising to full
million shares.
The decrease was attributed in large
part to a subsistence OF the general out
side participation in the market and
operations lapsed into professional
hands. In these hands skilful use WAS
made of an occasional incident to push
the price fluctuations to an extreme, but
the continual changes in the current
indicated the superficial character Of
some of these influences. The falling
tendency of the week was made the
most of when the week Opend by pro-
fessed uneasiness over the effects on
the pending revision of import duties
of the magazine article on the subject
by Andrew Carnegie.
The stand taken by the former iron
master in favor OF abolition Of duties
on steel, it was feared, would give a
new turn to the proposed tariff re-
vision such as the financial district has
been inclined to assume had been
averted. Political discussion bearing
on reported divergence of view on
this subject between the incoming adj
ministration and the leaders of the
House of Representatives was calculat-
ed to emphasize the effect of this in
fluence. There was also some discus
sion of the tone of the market for steel
products. which indicated slackening
of the rate of expansion in that in
dustry which was indicated by the in
rush of orders released by the passing
of the elections. The reaction which
has occurred in the price Of copper
metal was another index of failure
to maintain the full rate Of recupera-
ton of consumptive demand or of
speculation excess in anticipating the
demand. The heavy tone in the metal
industries was the consequence and
this persisted to some extent, even in
the periods of recovery in the general
list Of the stock market.
A prime factor in the rebound OF
prices was the inference drawn from
the listing at the Stock Exchange of
new Southern Pacific common stock.
The action was perfunctory In itself
but the professional speculative ele-
ment viewed it as preliminary to
putting into operation some important
general financial plan dealing with
Southern Pacific and, possibly with
Union Pacific
On the side of conservatism in the
speculation has been the opening pros
pect Of demands for fresh capital In
the form of new issues. The successful
sale of $12.500.00 of New York City

AS far as has been discovered, this
nobleman, a widower with three chill
dren, is the only one who ever sound
ed depths of love in the woman. AL
though there is evidence she was a
partner in many intrigues ono in the
series being with Felix Faure, sixth
President of France, the noblenan was
the only one to whom she responded in
a spirit OF loyalty. The story of their
meeting and secret friendship is one of
the most interesting in the long Sc
ries of events which now seems on the
point of breaking into national scan

shortly before Faure's tragic end. and
Paris is now asking if the President

reman1ed to Jail until the December
grand jury convcnes in this city. His
case will come up before that jury.
The arrest was made by United States
Marshal f. P. Mute.
The case in itself is peculiar and the
capture of the man after searching
Maine and New Hampshire is a dis
tinct credit to Inspector Robinson.
Early last March a young Greek liv-
ing in EostCn put an advertisement in
a Boston ralcr asking for a position
as \ butte? in an American family. He
gave his name as Constantine Staran-

Said to Have Been Made
By Lamphere'
DR.. Sche|I Says Man Was In
plicated In All the Murders
Committed by Mrs. Guinness, to
Number Of Twenty Or More.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 29.-Dr. Ed
ward Schen, president of Iowa Wesley
an University, who steadfastly refused
to testify against Ray Lamphere dur
inc the sensational Guinness murder
trial admitted in Des Mones Saturday
that Lan1phere confessed to hlm that
he had murdered Mrs. Guinness.
Dr Schell declares he is bound by an
oath given him by Lamphere not 10
diyulee the story told him in prison at
I,anorte when Lamphere sent for him
last summer.
ct cannot give to the world the story
of a man who sent for me as a Catho-
lie would send for priest sald Dr.
schel. who is in Des Moines attending
an Epworth League convention
"Reads of sweat stood out on his fore
head that night in his awful agony ano
he pledged my confidence before ne
would tell me word"
Rut DR.. Schell, closely questioned, ad-
mitted that he knew Lamphere mao
murdered Mrs. Guinness and her cnli-
dren. He adInitted that he knew tha'
Mrs Guinness was dead beyond ques-
tion He admitted that he knew that
I.amphere had been implicated In every
cne Of the murders which Mrs. Gun
ness committed on her Indiana farm.
He said that if Lamphere could no"
be induced to make the confession 70
officers that he made to the minister
that the man who has been sent to
n,ison for arson could be tried again
On an indictment charging him with
completely in the killing by Mrs. Gun
ness of Ole Severud on her murder
farm.
IF DR.. Schell chose to tell all thai
her knows, it is a weird story OF biooo-
shed and decapitation and wholesale
slaughter that he could relate OF al
the doings OF the mysterious murdci
farm near Laporte.
There is not a killing of all the =
of which Mrs. Guinness is believed tf
he guilty Of which Lamphere dld no
know and tell his confessor in the La
ucrte cell or that night year ago
