conda declined q. Beyond those the
changes were trivial.
II a. m.-The tom of the market
slowly improved so that the opening
losses were all recovered and frac-
tional gains established for some of
the leaders. Business remained light
and became smaller when prices were
at their best. National Lead improved
2a and Southern Railway preferred L.
Noon.-St. Paul fell back 21s below
last night, and Union Pacific and
Reading IA. The movement of these
STOCKS dominated the market, and de-
chnes q a E-E1N or more were made
in half a dozen other active stocks in
sympathy. Light selling was sufficient
to produce This effect. Bonds were
irregular.
! p. m.-The market began to friend
again, but the recovery fell consid-
erably short of yesterdays prices and
ceased before l O'Clock, despite the
strength of a few individual stocks.
2 p. m.-The active stock fluctuatcd
narrowly and irregularly, and the rise
in a few specialties was without in
ffuence.
8 D. m.-The market closed weak and
active, at the lowest prices. There was
a renewed ~outpouring of stocks in the
final hour to the accompaniment OF
crop-damage reports. ST. Paul was
forced 4sS under last night and Union
Pacific $40. Otherwise all active specu-
lative stocks suffered equally with the
grangers.

Inasmuch as the bar Manufac-
turers Association of Newark is
accused by the District Council of
the Carpenters and Joiners of
Amefica of having broken its con-
tract, which was entered into a
year ago, we feel obliged to give
the public an explanation. In No
vember last a New York firm,
which does not employ union men,
made a bar for a saloon here, which
was to be put in place here by
union men, against which we ener-
g~etically protested before the Dis
trict Council. The secretary of
the District Council then advised
US by letter that the Council, after
conference with the proprietor of
the saloon in question, after a long
debate, resolved. in spite of our
protest, to allow the bar to be
erected by union men. This is in
direct contradiction to III agree
ments with said union aud surely,
therefore, a breach of contract on
the part of the Council.
Upon receipt of above letter we
notified the Essex Trades Council
of this breach of contract by letter
AID asked for the assistance of the
Essex Trades Council in this mat
ter. Upto date, however, no reply
has reached us from said body,

thinking business man could, there
fore. blame us if we do not care to
have any further dealings with

always executed and carried out
contracts entered into with the
workingmen to the letter and re-

FOUND FATHER
AFTER MANY YEARS
Girl Left Property by Grand
father S Will.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 1-(SpeciaD-
Events have been moving fast during
the last few days in the life of Ruth
Libby, 10 years old, an Evanston high
school girl.
She has learned successfully that
Mrs. Ida G. Libby, a trained nurse,
who raised her from infancy, is her
foster-mother. that her name is not
Libby but Ashlock, that her father,
whom she has never seen, is DR..
James r. Ashlock of st. Louis; that
she has three brothers when she
supposed she was an only child, and
that by the death of relative she
did not know of she has become an
heiress.
These revelations have come to
Miss Libby with such bewildering rap
idity that she says she can hardly be-
lieve them and wonders if she is not
in a dream On Friday one of her
brothers, who had just learned he had
a sister came. from st. Louis to see
her graduate.
The revelations followed as the
result of the death of Miss Libbys
grandfather, her fathers father, in
Carollton, ILL., In his will be made
provision for certain of his descend
ants, and it was then that Dr. Ash
lock began a search for the daughter
who was born at Jacksonville, Ill.
His wife died at the time of the
child's birth, and with three young
sons made motherless, he gave the
baby in adoption to Mrs. Libby
In later years both families moved
away and lost all trace of each
other. The girl that Mrs Libby adop-
ted became a great favorite in the
high school and in younger Evanston
society.
A fortnight ago Mrs. Libby received
a letter from a Miss Jones of Kane,
H., an aunt of the adopted child,
which told the circumstances of the
death of the grandfather, of the search
for the girl and also that she was
to receive a part of the estate, the
value of which was unknown.
An exchange of correspondent fol-
lowed and Miss Libby was gradually
told the story of her life At the
same time DR.. Ashlock told his three
sons of their new found sister One
of the sons, Parks Ashlock, 80 years
old, in the real estate business in
the Missouri town, at once came to
Chicago to see his sister, and arrived
on the day she was graduated from
the high school. He went first to the
Orrington avenue home, where an
affecting meeting is said to have
taken place, and then accompanied
her to the First congregational
Church, where the graduation took
place.

GREASE PROVED TO BE
AN EXPENSIVE ARTICLE

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July l.
Greasing masts, sea boots, and oil
skins with ambergis, valued at APP
proximately $500 pound, sailors on
the British bark Antiope wasted about
$4,000 worth of the stuff unaware of
its value. A small part of the
grease" had been saved and this
was identified by an Oakland drug
gist as ambergis.
The Antiope reached here from
Newcastle, Australia, few days ago.
On the way up a large quantity of
grease" was seen floating on the
ocean and the men managed to scoop
up several bucketfuIs. The grease"
was used for slushing down masts,
the balance being used by the men
on their oil skins and boots.
