BARNuM'S OLD LION.
How the Great Snowman Turned Hi
Death TO Account.

How the Great Snowman Turned Hi.
/ Death TO Account.
Among the features OF the parades
Of the Barnum circus there was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top Of one OF the
wild beast cages lay an enormous lion.
He was not confined In any way. and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and CON
template the terrible possibility of the
lion springing into the midst OF the
crowd.
But the venerable old king OF beasts
had reached the leonine dotage. and
stffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and In the winter
quarters, where he was allowed to
roam at will. sometimes had to be pro.
tected from the onslaughts of irrever-
ent and mischlevous puppies.
One night he wandered from the
quarters. In the course of his travels
he CHANGED on barn where a meek
eyed COW was placldly chewing her
cud A faint flicker Of the slumbering
jungle spirit stirred his pulse, and,
with crashing blow of the huge fore
paw, the COW was slain; then, lying
down beside his victim, he went to
sleep and dreamed Of the time when he
was shaggy little whelp playing with
his brothers under the bright sun Of his
faroff African home.
In the morning the owner of the COW,
a stalwart female with the blood of
Irish kings In her veins, entered the
barn with milk pail In hand. She was
filled with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze. With a keen edged ak In her
hand and grim determination In her
eye she fearlessly approached the sleep
ing lion. and when the men sent out to
search for him arrived he lay cold in
death. Barnum promptly paid for the
dead COW and engaged to appear on
exhibition 'the woman who in mortal
combat had slain lion"

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Benevolent Control Still In Evidence
 Realizing Sales.

New York, Sept. 15.-Eyidcnces of benevolent control of the course of prices of stocks by well fortified POW CTS were still apparent to-day, Its eX- ercise did not save prices from q downward drift, but the fall was regu- lated and restrained. That the sup
 port accorded the market was taken advantage of to effect realizing sales was the suspicion of trading element and confidence in the market was dis slpated in consequence. That clement was unimpressed by the occasional strength in the Hartman group and Reading and by ostentatlous buying of those stocks by brokers supposed to be often employed by members of the Standard oil party. At moments of weakness, however, the support of the market was made effective and numeN ou srallies were the consequence Such support was accorded when prices opened at sharp declines in response to the interpretation placed on the Maine election result by the profess
 ona traders It developed again when the Hill stocks first weakened and was thus timed in way to sug
 gest protection of the market against unfavorable influences. It was only in the last hour that the support lost It's effect. The weak tone of the two Hill stocks. especially Great Northern pfd. was of sinister influence on speculative sentiment The recent return of the head of the system to the field caused that to be associated with the decline in the stock. That gentleman's pub lie expressions of opinion were cited as rofranng from enthusiasm over the business outlook and some dscon- tent with the western political sltlla- ton also came from him As similar political view was voiced by the newly returned heads of the Union Pacific system, there was a greater disposition to take account of the political mat ters in the estimate of the market out look, the marine election emphasizing the tendency. Another cause of dis appointment in the return of F. H
 Hartman to his office was that the much discussed readiustment plan was not immediately forthcoming
 Reading shared with the Harrimans the office of sustaining force in the market and the motives for its con tnued advance remained undefined
 The money market was called easier.
 There were some large dividend dis bursements to-day, including that on Standard Oil Foreign exchanges were firm, however, and discount rates ad vanced in Paris and Berlin A ship nlent of gold to Paris from New York

ARBTTRATE SUBWAY CLAIMS.
Rapid Transit Company Wants S6.
 2aO.000 for .lExtras.n

New York, Sept, l5,--At a session of the board of arhltrators appointed to pass upon tho claims of s6,250,0OO by the Rapid Transit Subway Construc- ton company, for extra work on the city's first subway 1t was announced today that engineers for tho Interhor- ough company and public service com mission had been busy preparing a statement of physical facts, so as to save the arbtrarors from the drudgery of going through all the items claimed
 The only action of tho meeting was to place on record certain documents relating to the second determination of the old Rapid Transit boards chief en- glneer, George S Rice. as to counter claims made by the city, These are claims for failure on part of tho con- tracing company to live up to the conditions of the contract, and they will amount to from S2,o0o,0o0 to s400o,- GOO, They were not pressed originally for the city but when the company insisted on a strict construction in the matters favoring itself, tho public ser vice commission took the same course in regard to defects in the work or failure to fulfil the specifications.

As the Baltimore and Ohio and the Lake Shore each own s1ooo0,o00 of Reading common, that leaves floating supply of only $5o.ooo.o0o, not including the holdings credited to one of the national blanks and prominent Steel man. Dur ing the past three years Reading has earned as high as 24 per cent. on It's common stock in twelve months. but has hidden Its earning power by ex- banding operating expenses and re- talned the 1 per cent. dividend possi- bly because of hostile legislation.
