CLEARLY MANIFEST
Was Desire to Realize Profits In
Stock Market Yesterday Pro
fessionals Still Active.

New York, Feb. ia keen desire
to realize profits was clearly manifest
in the action of the stock market to
dayy Professional operators who

sell today. Outside demand attracted
| By the bond sale was not sufficient
to absorb this selling and prices gave
way sharply Professionals turned
tc the bear side and helped the de
cline. Some items Of the days news
weer in their favor One was the
decision to extend the rate of curtail-
ment of the output of Reading col
leres, rejecting continued sluggish
ness In the market for that COM
modify. Another was the report that
an Injunction had been granted
against the payment of Southern Paci.

as holders of the stock. Statistics of
railroads earnings for the first week
in February indicated broadening
of the margin of the decrease from
last years level compared with the
average Of January earnings. Some
special ties were again under pres
sure of special kind which was
feature earlier in the week, and this
had a sympathetic effect on the tone
OF the general list. The action of the
stock market did not materially alter
the conviction of significance of the
New York City bond sale as evidence
of improving health in the financial
situation as a whole. An unprecedent-

the gross amount of bids made for

No Ex.President Living.

This is not the first time in the coun-
trys history that it has been without
an ex-president, although many of
the comments upon the death of Mr.
that such were the case. There have
been two earlier periods in our his
tory when there was no man living,
except the one in the White House,
who had held the highest office in the
gift of the people. When Washington
died during the administration Of his
successor there was of course no ex-
president. From that time on, how
ever, until the death of Andrew john
son in 1875 one or more ex-presidents
were living during each succeeding ad-
ministration.
Adams, jefferson and Madison
were still living when Monroe $
terms ended in 1925 and thus until
July a. 1926, when the first two mer-
toned died, there were four living ex-
presidents. John Quincy Adams lived
until 1S4S Martin Van Buren, had
completed his term several years be-
fore the death of Andrew Jackson his
immediate predecessor in the Presi-
dency. Van Buren, lived until 1862
which was also the year Of the death
of James *. Polk. Franklin Pierce
and James buchanan were also eX-
presidents at that time SO that there
was again period when four mer
who had filed the highest office were
together in the land of the living

Hyomei Medicates the Air You
Breathe and Gives Quick Re-
lief in Catarrhal Troubles.

Be wise in time and use Hyomei at
the first warning of catarrhal truu-
bles.
Do not let the disease extend along
the delicate mucous membrance, grad
ually going from the nose to the
throat, thence into the bronchial tubes,
and then downward until the lungs ere
reached and you are in danger of con-
sumption.
Hyomei will cure all durable forms and
stages Of catarrh. 1t is so uniformly
successful in curing this common yet
dangerous disease that Bowditch, Web
ster & Co., Augusta, Me. take
all the risk of a trial treat
ment and agree absolutely to refund
the money if anyone uses Hyomei and
does not get relief.
There is no other treatment for
catarrh that is like Hyomei or just as
good None can take it's place, none
give such quick and sure relief and at
so little cost. It's medication is breathed
through a pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, thus reaching the
most remote cells of the air passages.
killing the catarrhal germs and sooth-
ing and healing the irritated mucous
membrane.
Begin the use of Hyomei today and
you will soon find that the offensive
breath. the droppings into the throat,
the discharge from the nose and all
other symptoms Of catarrh are over
come and cured The complete outfit
costs but $100, and Bowditch, Web
ster & Co, Augusta, Me, stand ready
to refund the money if it does not cure
cattarrh.

The Vice-Presidency.

The sympathetic interest shown in
the illness of Mr.. Sherman demon
stratcs the ease with which the Ameri-
can people put aside all political feel
ing IN the face of a personal considera-
ton. There is rejoicing everywhere
that lie is rallying and promises soon
to be in full strength again. In the
course Of the discussion as to the
possibilities of Mr.. Sherman's illness,
an erroneous impression has gained
ground that no occasion has ever
arisen for filling vacancy in the vice.
presidential candidacy. A writer in
the Boston Transcript points out that
two instances of declination of a vice.
presidential candidacy readily occur to
students of American politics. In
President, his supporters, in an at
tempt to conciliate the followers of
Van Buren,. gave the second place on
the ticket to Silas Wright of New
York, then United States Senator.
They had by enforcing the two-thirds
rule deprived Van Buren, of the bene-
fit of the majority he had among the
delegates, and felt it necessary to
honor the most distinguished Of his in
innate friends, who was also power
in the empire state. In their desire
to placate Wright they rather overdid
themselves, for they informed him Of
their action by telegraph. The tele-
graph was then new agency, and
Wright, equal to the occasion, wired
back a curt and peremptory declina-
ton. Thereupon the baft!ed conven-
tior, which was still in session, select
ed George M. Dallas of Pennsylvania
for the second place. A later instance
of declination, which also illustrates
one method of filling a vacancy in a
national ticket, was that of Benjamin
Fitzpatrick Of, Alabama. who WAS

Grover Cleveland.

Down in New Jerseys famous old
university town yesterday afternoon
they laid at rest all that was mortal of
Grover Cleveland, for eight years the
President of our republic, the holder
of the highest official position in the
world. The news of his death came
as a great shock to our people, al
though it was we'll known that he had
been in poor health for several months.
Tee tributes that have been paid to
his memory from all parts Of the land,
both from political associates and adj
mircrs and from those who were once
his most active opponents, show the
measure of the hold which Mr.. Cleve-
land had upon the respect and affec-
ton of the American people.
The place of Mr.. Cleveland is secure
in American history and he will be re-
membcred and honored as one of the
strong men who figured in the official
life Of the 18th century. He was
greater than his party and he was
never half so bitterly abused by his
Republican opponents in the presi-
dental campaigns of 1854, 1888 and 1897
ard during his two terms of office as
he has been by the Democrats since
he has seen the later follies and er-
rors of his party and has placed him
SELF with characteristic courage and
firmness in answering opposition tc
them.
Mr.. Cleveland was not brilliant
man. although circumstances made his
rise in public life an exceptionally
raDid one. He was not ready
speaker or writer, but he had the
sound qualities of honesty, con-
servatism, courage and tenacity. He
grew upon the country during his
eight years in Washington but he has
been a greater man in private life
than he was as President. The coun-
try mourns his death and will honor
his memory.
