NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The profess

sional element in the specula-
ton showed some symptoms of
disquiet over the prospects
of staying short Of stocks over
the Sunday close interval. The days
short session was small and uninter-
esting and showed no striking new
phase in the situation. The stiffen-
ing of the money market, the omis-
sion of the American Locomotive div.
idend, the possibility of a sensational
outcome of the Maine election and
the lack of proper moisture for the
maturing Of the corn crop to the best
advantage, were subjects under dis
cussion and assumed some influence
in the early dealings.
st. Paul was a weak feature in the
railroad and American Smelling and
some of the railroad equipment stocks
extended the decline in force when
the market closed yesterday. Re-
marks by influential capitalists point
ing to the uncertainty of politics were
interpreted as an admopition to con-
serve activity pending the result of
the presidential election.
When prices started upward the
Harrimans and Reading were again in
their customary position Of promi-

From Sundays Daily.
After playing the last six games in
almost perfect style, and with less
than half q dozen errors IN as many
games, the Billings boys had 9 slump
yesterday and lost out to the Lewis
town team by a score OF Z to I.
It was not so much the fast work OF
the visitors as the loose playing OF the
locals which resulted in the one-sided
score, The transients have 9 good
fast team and played q good game
yesterday, but they are by no means
as swift as some Of the other teams
which the Billings aggregation have
met this season with much better re-
suits.
While the locals pounded the ball
on the nose all through the game, the
sphere invariably dropped In an enc
my's NIT, and though many men were
on bases, they were able to push but
one across. The playing of the home
team was characterized by lack OF
ginger, and after the visitors had se-
cured a lead, q general apathy seemed
to seize the boys in blue, and 1t was
dif1cult to identity them as the play
ers who have been putting up the
fast and snappy exhibitions which
the Billings fans have witnessed OF
late.
Carleton, a southlpaw, was on the
slab for Lewistown, and pitched a
splendid game; but six hits were Sc
cured off his delivery. He had good
control in the pinches and was very
effective with men on bases.
Johnston toed the rubber for the
locals, and while he allowed ten hits,
he walked no one, against four passes
issued by Carleton, and struck out
seven men against Cartoons four.
There were no features, and the
game, aside from one OF two innings,
was lifeless. The locals simply had
an off day, and could not get together.
The two clubs will mix again today at
8 O'Clock and a different style Of game
is assured. Husband will oficiate in
the box for the home team and Fred.
lein for Lewistown. Otherwise the
lineup will be practically the same as
in yesterdays game. With the large
crowd of rooters which will be out
to-day to "holler" for the locals, a
clean, fast and exciting contest will
be on tap.

needs little attention save that it Should
be occasionally watered during very
dry spell. ~
Instances are not wanting where two
lots side by side of the same size and
character are offered for sale One has
shade trees and the other has none.
The one with the trees sells for more
money There Is an instance in the
Cincinnati courts where as much as
$500 was recovered as damages for the
wrongful destruction of a sycamore
tree. There was verdict of $4o0 for
an elm tree in Walnut Hills and one
of $500 for two silver poplars in Cum
minsville.
Opposition in Evanston to the plant
ing of trees has disappeared. Within
year or two there will not be single
lot of ground in that suburb without
its shade trees
j. \. Ramsey, who was appointed
chairman of the original committee in
charge of tree planting in Ey anston, L.
| still acting in that capacity. 1t is no
| unusual thing to see Mr.. Ramsey wan
derlng through the village examining
| the bark and foliage of trees and mott
| flying owners of any attention which
| the trees require In order to guarantee
| their continual growth He is assured
| of the fact that for century or two
he will have thousand or more mon
| uments to his memory, and not only
| will they be monuments to his mem
Org. but they will be useful in aeon
| tributing to the health. happiness,
/ pleasure and comfort of thousands of
people.
| While. the tree committees work was
well done, it now regrets that it did
| not plant variety instead of one Kind
| of tree. 1t is correcting this mistake by
filing in with other varieties the va
cant places and where trees have died
In this way sufficient variety will be
secured. The committee recently plant
ed trees about the Evanston public
1 school and planted no two alike. This
| will assist the school children in beeom.
| ing familiar with the various varieties
of our shade trees.
4 As money proposition the trees al.
ready planted in Evanston, with the
4 care and boxing, cost in the neighhor-
hood of $1,000. and it is certain that Il
j $4,000 We're offered to the property
owners for the privilege of digging up
and removing all the trees the PROPOSE
ton would he promptly refused. 1t Is
safe to say that the trees have added
TO the community value much larger
than that.
