Shot hv Iunatic.

New York. Nov. lO.-Edward NJ.
Morgan, postmaster of New York City,
was wounded in the abdomen yesterday
morning by a bullet fired by Z. H. b
Mackey, an eccentric English stenog
rapher, who then committed suicide
He was resting well last night, and un-
less complications develop he will re
cover. Mr.. Morgan probably owes his
life to the quick wit and bravery of
his 14-year- old daughter, Dorothy, who
saw Mackey draw his revolver, and
struck it with her hand.

Night Doctor only.

An uptown doctor has a new idea. He
practices at night only. He found that
so many night cases coming on the top of
his office hours and visits wore him out,
so he determined to save his energy for
the night work, which paid best anyway.
He says he finds patients prefer having
a doctor who is fresh and wide awake in
stead of one who is tired out after

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Trading on the Washington Stock Ex-
change is in the same deadlock that It
has been in much Of the time since the
decline in prices following the stringency
of last year The holders of stock are
loath to part with it at prevailing prices
evidently working on the basis that some
time within reasonable period the local
securities viii be back again to the high
figures OF last year, or even higher.
AS a consequence OF this position on
the part Of the holders. 1t is difficult for
brokers to fill orders. even of fractional
lots OF stock or bonds. The demand is all
the time ahead of the supply. Shrewd
brokers will not bid up the prices beyond
reason. as they do not want the securi-
ties bad enough for that 1t frequently
occurs Of late that when the h'd price Of
a stock approaches the offered price Of a
day or two previously. and which re-
mains upon the sheets. the offered price
will be withdrawn and posted full point
higher. This may be good business or
the part Of the holder OF stock, but It
seals the fate Of business on the ex-
change. and has received the uncompl
mentary name OF 'Jockeying' from the
disgusted buyers.
Yesterday there was considerable Of this
class OF operations. For several days
prices have been gradually creeping up 10
higher levels. and in a number of cases
they were near the offered prices. These
were promptly withdrawn and raised
peg higher and brokers who have been
trying 10 fill orders for a week have the
ground to go over again.
Transactions yesterday were in fair
volume. being $1,000 in bonds and sos
shares OF stock
