NEW YORK, May 1S.-There were no
more explicit and novel explanations Of
the continued advance in the stock mar
ket today than there have been at any
time since the improvement set In. Yet
there has been no occasion when the up
ward movement was more generally par
ticipated in, and in addition number of
leading railroad stocks made very note
worthy advances.
During the greater part OF the business
session the industrial and miscellaneous
issues with some exceptions were slug
gish, and the same description might be
applied to the transactions in the local
traction securities. In the railway list
particularly striking gains took place in
the Erie stocks, Chicago and Northwest
ern. Omaha. ST. Paul, Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific.
Transactions in the market at large
were In great volume, and reflected gen.
eral Investigation of interest. Up to
midday dealings in the industrial depart
ment developed few features of interest.
Subsequently there took place rapid ad-
vances In Amalgamated Copper. Ameri-
can Smelling. Distillers Securities. West
inghouse Electric and notably In Western
Union. Yet. apart from technical and
mechanical circumstances. there was
nothing very edifying to be elected from
the transactions in any of the stocks
mentioned.
London Generally Steady.
The London stock market was general
ly steady and with the course of the
morning foreign houses were buyers in
the local dealings upon a large scale.
Money market conditions remained un-
affected by the days quite large engage
ments of gold for export, and this morn

the banks and the subtreasury since last

NEW YORK. May 1s.-The large num-
Der OF rumors that were circulated last
week regarding the market produced not
a little skepticism in conservative circles.
1t is claimed that in years gone by such
batch of rumors generally foreshadowed
the elimination Of an upward movement.
These stories also caused conservative
observers to believe that the movement
was due more to the activities OF pro-
fessional operators than to we'll defined
plans OF important banking interests.
1t is understood that in some highly
speculative circles the claim was made
that the sudden advance in several well
known railroad stocks had been due alto
gether to- or. at least. had been started by.
buying of one or more we'll known pro-
fessionals. The claim was made particu-
larry with respect to the sudden out
burst of activity in Chesapeake and Ohio
and Southern Pacific preferred. 1t was
ever, asserted that the former stock was
forced upward on the buying of q COM
parattvely small amount and the circu-
lation of rumors that important negotia-
tons for control Of the property were in
progress
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-05-18

With respect to Southern Pacific pre-
ferred it was asserted that the actual
amount Of stock purchased to start the
movement was not large. and that. $50 far
as those who we're responsible for the
sudden discovery knew, there was MOTH
Ing more substantial as foundation for
the movement than the rumor that the
redemption clause was to be Cancelled
Those who make these assertions saw
that they discovered noticeable scar

no dimeulty In disposing Of their holdings

As he crosses the Arizona plains he sees a band
of Apaches approaching. Hiding behind a
cactus tree he prepares to fight to the end.
Lane disposes of his assailants. but Buck NC
Kee, q half-breed, captures him and In an
effort to force the prospector to disclose his
cache, Lane is SO badly tortured that he leaves
the hospital deformed after six months.
The scene shifts to the hacienda. In Arizona
owned by Jim Allen. father OF Echo. Jack
Payson owns a neighboring, ranch. He Is a
close friend OF Lane and had grubstaked MIN.
Echo Allen and her companion. Polly Hope. are
the life of the ranch.
Believing that Lane Is dead, Echo accepts the
attentions of Jack Payson and they decide 10
get married in six months. A few days after

cides to withhold the letter until he and Ecno
ore married.

MOTHERS, DO NOT
BE TOO INDULGENT.

Who is to blame for the young girls
ignorance of household matters?
Is it any wonder that some girls
never learn to do anything and grow to
womanhood with not even the least
knowledge of cooking, homework or
sewing? Frequently the indulgent
mother will do all these things herself,
leaving the daughter to follow her own
inclinations in studies or to pursue a
Will O the wisp existence. There is lit
tie excuse for such Indulgence, and a
girl who gets no encouragement at all
when she Is truly ambitious to learn, is
sadly handicapped. She cannot bake a
cake, because eggs. milk and butter
are too expensive to be wasted. She
cannot even make herself a shirt waist,
because she might cut the pattern
wrong and the material would be
ruined. No difference what she desires
to do. the argument Of probable loss In
dollars and cents is used against her.
There never seems to be enough money
to spare O. little for her training. After
a while the girl outgrows the desire.
There is no necessity for pointing out
the result. We find the girl trying to
make a home for herself with no
knowledge of many rudiments of home
making.

TEETH NEED CARE
IN FRUIT SEASON

Fruits and vegetables with acids are
apt to irritAte the gums and the amount
of cold drinks taken is likely to make
the teeth sensitive.
There is a growing tendency to clean
the teeth with a very soft cheesecloth
instead of a brush. 1t is quite true that
this is excellent for sensitive teeth.
Ice water should never be used for
cleansing the teeth. 1t Is worse than
hot water. Lukewarm Is the right TEN
perature.
An old-fashioned way of cleansing
and Frightening the teeth is to rub
them with a leaf of green age which
has a very helpful effect. 1t is said
by those who use it to effectually pre-
vent the formation of tartar.
If one is out of the reach of the den
fist when a filing falls out it is wise
to take a piece of rubber, make it
spongy by heat and press it into the
cavity.
If 1t is convenient it is always good
to use a half tumbler of warm water to
rinse the entire mouth after eating.
For r~eceding gums a druggist will put
up a safe and sound liquid made OF
orris root in tincture, lavender water,
cinnamon in tincture. cinchona bark,
also In liquid form, and cologne.

CARPETS and Rugs.

To a home-lover there is an instant
interest, an affectionate warmth which
kindles and CLOVIS, when asked to have
a brief chat about these delightful fruits
of loom and hand. They represent the
comfortable foundationof all furnishing;
the color-giving, fundamental tone on
which all schemes of beauty must be
built. The floor covering is the keynote
to the color-scheme of any room. Gus
tom and modern habit have given pre-
eminence and very strong, fashionable
preference to rugs over a carpet cover
ing for the larger uses in the houses Of
today.
The contention is that they are better
from 81 sanitary point of view. and that
they are more easily kept from moths,
anN generally make 1t easier to keep a
house thoroughly clean. There Is a
strong pro and con regarding the first
claim. They are more easy to be beaten
and shaken, If you have the proper per-
son to beat and shake. But II the rug
is heavy and has a deep, soft pile on its
surface, the mere hanging it on the line
or spreading 1t upon the grass does not
cleanse it, nor does the arm of a young
girl, however vigorous, suffice to rid 1t
of dust and CRIME.

Go to the girl and tell her that yourlove

An Indoor Window Box.

If you have a very warm room with
a large sunny window, you can raise
numerous flowers that are usually
strangers in the house in the winter,
though very common In the yard dur
ing the m 1t Is advisable to
have your flower box made at the tin
ners. 1t should be of zinc n at least
five or six inches deep. Fill 1t with
charcoal, sane and good rich garden
soil, all sifted and light. 1t is not neces-
sary to have drainage, In fact, 1t would
be impossible to have it with an i'm
mense window box, but If not watered
too often, the earth will not sour; If
1t does, 1t should be s~prinkled with
lime. In the box one can plant pansies,
phlox, alyssium, small geraniums,
sweet peas and around the edge a row
OF morning glories. Morning glories
will blossom when a few inches high,
but 1t is necessary TO h out the
plants to give room for roots. This Is
also a good way to plant bulbs, after
which the earth should be covered with
florists moss. The window box start
ed now will be very handsome by early
spring. In it have various kinds of tu-
lips, jonquils, and narcissus. The dou-
BILE tulips and double h%yacinths are
very pretty. 1t is not advisable to Keep
the bulbs for indoor growing a second
year, but if planted in the yard, they
will form new bulbs.

A High School Affair.

Dear Margery Doom.
Il am a young girl of is and go to the
Newark High School. A young man
there, Ii senior, asked me to go to a
football game with him n | went.
The next day l heard a couple Of the
senior girls say it was too bad he
couldn't get anybody but a freshman
to go TO the game with him. This hurt
me very much, as he seemed to be a
very nice young man | told the girls
to mind their business n they
laughed. Now, Miss Doom, do you think
they had a good reason for speaking
So. Would you advise me to stop
speaking to the young man? He was
very gentlemanly, and could no have
been nicer. L do not see What they a
against him, and think maybe he is not
ais nice as he seems. What would o
advise me TO do? TROUBLED.
ssBe a sensible little girl and pay alb
solutely no attention to those senior
girls. probably they are jealous OF his
attention TO you. You would be very
foolish to treat him shabbily on their
account.

Fashions for Children.

The tendency this season is toward
simpler effects in children's coats and
wraps. and it will unquestionably be a
dark season, as very few light-colored
garments are shown. While plain coli
ors will be seen extensively, mixtures,
principally striped effects, will also be
smart. AS regards colors, those shades
that proved popular in dress goods last
spring are strongly represented In chill
dren's wraps this winter. Blues, which
have been a favorite for some time
past, undoubtedly take the lead The
Copenhagen, delft, electric, peacock and
navy blues all are seen. Browns come
next i IN favor and are shown in many
shades. Red, which Is always good for
children's wear. is again extensively
featured. The newer shades of red
comprise the deep, rich wines and
cherry tones. Greens, grays and fans
are also to be seen to some extent.

III who marries her. and he is ex-
pected to find the home and be in finan-
cial circumstance to amply provide

then the ceremony had best be de-
ferred. After a woman has her own
home. then. through her own ingenuity,
c~leverness and painstaking, she will be
able TO do more that is helpful in Sc.
curing needed articles, for she al wait
for bargains, do her own sewing. which
she cannot do while In the working
world, and she can get just wha she
most needs. When It comes to prepar-
ing her wedding outfit, the youthful
bride, be her station ever so humble,
deserves a dainty, girlish dress. after
which she must count her Money and
use 1t to the best possible advantage.
But even the wedding garments arc
no SO numerously supplied as they
orce were. making II convenient for
rich and poor, and doubly so for the
working girl.
