Strong Undertone Despite the
Reactionary Tendencies.
HIGH FIGURES FOR LEADERS
London Reported Rather Feature

RAILWAYS WERE PROMINENT
No Surprises in Trade Reports, MOI
Particularly Reassuring-U. F., St.
Paul and Reading Features.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 23.-The only point
Of difference between this morning 8
transaction in securities and those con-
ddcted Thursday and Friday was the
very reasonable one that upon occasions
the market showed slightly reactionary
tendencies. due to heavy profit-realizing
sales induced by the extent of the preced-
ing advance. The undertone Of the mar
ket remained. however distinctly strong
and most of the leading issues advanced
to new high figures on the present rally.
There was little or nothing in the newc
of the morning which could be cited in
connection with the course of the stock
market.
Yesterday failure of a large brokerage
house naturally excited no little uneasi-
ness that similar casualties might be ex-
pected forthwith. and in act rumors to
this effect were very persistent through
out the business session. Those houses
which have been lending stocks to other
firms short of the market were naturally
insistent upon demanding the return Of
the securities advanced. and the further
retirement of short contracts was I'M
auestionably factor in many of the more
extreme rises recorded.
The London stock market was rather
featureless. but foreign houses were buy
ers on balance in the local dealings of the
internationally listed shares. with the ex-
ception of United States steel.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies contained no surprises and were
not particularly reassuring exhibits. Lit
tie no interest appeared to be taken
in the outlook for the weekly bank state
ment.
Union Pacific, St. Paul and Reading
were the strongest and most active fea-
lures of the railway list.
The United States Steel stocks were rel
atively heavy. doubtless in advance of the
appearance of the quarterly statement Of
the corporation Tuesday afternoon. and
the industrial and miscellaneous shares
In general showed a greater degree OF
railway list. The local traction shares
were comparatively neglected.

Fishing With Forty-Toot Rods.

In sea fishing at Biarritz. France. some
remarkably long and heavy rods are EN-

In fishing from the walk at the light

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The increase in the business of the Old
Dominion and Great Falls electric road
has led the company to authorize an en-
largement Of its power plant, which
Is located on the Virginia side OF the Po-
tomac. south Of the Aaueduct bridge
What is known as q unit is to be add
ed to the producing machinery
of the power house. In this way the COM
pany will have at its disposal a larger
amount Of electricity and it will be pos

quent intervals. 1t is found that the de-
mands of the traffic make it necessary to
do both.
There is not much heard at this time
about the projected connection of this
line by the building Of a trolley to Its
northern terminus at the Great Falls
from Hagerstown. The enterprise was to
be financed mainly by popular subscrip-
tions to the stock of the company that
was to build the line and it was sup
posed that the interests Of the people Nv
ing in the vicinity would be sufficient to
secure the placing Of enough stock to
supply the needed capital.
It is of course possible that this scheme
will be carried out, but of late there has
not been much heard about It,
Some of the people who are interested
in property in the vicinity Of the Aqueduct
bridge and on the Virginia side Of the
river believe that the Southern railroad
ofncials have had under consideration the
advisability OF locating a passenger depot
at or near Rosslyn for the suburban travel
from the Leesburg line and also for some
classes of travel on the main line. The
idea Of such a depot is that it would De
cheaper than to continue to use the WASH
ington terminal and pay the charges
which an entrance there involves.
The business done at the meeting of the
stock exchange today was not Of much
consequence. either from it's volume or
from the changes in the figures.

ORIGIN OF WORK "oUACK."
Has Been Traced to Writers Of Six
teenth Century.

From the London Telegraph.
The original and acquired meanings of
many an old word have been cleared up
in the low courts. When "quack" had its
turn Sir Edward Clarke, who was prob
ably quoting a dictionary. defined the word
as "a boastful pretender to medical skill "
"Quack" is undoubtedly derived by sug-
gestion from the quacking of duck. The
auack doctor has always substituted VOL
utility for knowledge. "Quack' in it's
present sense is certainly as old as 1906,
when 1t was included in the earliest Of
our slang dictionaries. The original word
was "ouacksalver." a travelling empiric
who quacked about his salves, and ac-
cording to Henley and Farmer. the drama >
fist Wycherly first shortened this word to
"quack"
The full term. quack doctor Is found at
least as early as l7l0. when these words
were used as title to the Earl Of Roch.
ester's mountebank speech on Tower HILL
This witty and profigate nobleman Che Is
always called witty and pronigate) took it
into his head to disappear from his friends
and appear to the mob on Tower Hill as
quack doctor. The speech he made on
that occasion has been preserved. and 1t
shows that quack oratory has gained moth
ing since.
1t is not at all printable in these polite
pages. but the following passage will show
its character:
THE cures ! have done are as incredi-
BILE as innumerable. ! cur'd the Empress
Of Boolmapo OF q cramp she got in her
tongue by eating pork and butt'ed par
ships. ! cur'd an alderman of Grand Cairo

UTAH WILL HELP TO
MAKE THINGS
LIVELY
to Be Played in Irrigation
Congress by State North of
Here viii Be important One,

The state Of Utah has succeeded in
making a pretty big noise at previous
sessions Of the National Irrigation con
sress and the meeting at Albuquerque
is to be no exception. The ogden
Journal, Of ogden. Utah, says:
The state of Utah and every one in
Il is under obligation to Mr.. Fred j.
Kicsel. OF ogden, to Mr.. Joseph
Geoghegan and Mr. Thomas r. Cutler
Of this city. says the Inter- Mountain
Republican, for the energy they dis
play in making preparation for the
next session OF the Irrigation con-
Ercss.
Utah's part in the meeting TO be
held at Albuquerque is a very i'm
p%ortant one. 1t is not alone that the
congress viii help this state. but that
this state will probably be the life of
Tho congress. ANA that is far too i'm
poctant an enterprise to be neglected.
No better scheme can be devised
than that chosen by Mr.. Kiesel. He
end others will raise the money need
cd for Utah's exhibit at Albuquerque,
and will expect the state to reimburse
them at thp next session Of the lcgis-
laturc. That Will hardly be denied. If
there were public money now available
fer that Use, the guarantee and the
contribution by citizens would not
need be made.
Every year the Irrigation congress
grows moro Important It becomes
more helpful to the arid region. It
adds more and more to The produc-
tivity Of the nation. People in the
