STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
'In and Out' Operations by Profes-

New York, Sept. 29-The tendency of prices to settle to a dead level was still farther manifest in the stock market today The professionals con fined themselves to what they call in and out operations Trading became exceedingly desultory as the swing of prices diminished and offered lessen ing attraction for it to these in and out dealings. There were Intervals Of several minute during the afternoon when no transactions were reported. The stagnant condition convinced the doubtful ones that the wealth ycapital- ists who were credited with responsl- billty for the activity of the summer dealings, were abstaining from deal- ing in stocks off the present This fact constituted the news of the mar ket Nothing else received much at tention, nor was there anything in fact which seemer to merit it Published rec ports that E.

The Riot Act.

What is commonly meant by reading
the riot act'' is better known than the
origin Of the phrase. The his orical
riot act was passed by the Britt i Par

1714. 1t enacts that felony is commit
ted when twelve or more persons I'M
lawfully, riotously and tumultuously
assemble together to the, disturbance
Of the public peace, SO to continue to-
yether for an hour after being COM
manded to dispense by the sheriff or

If the borough.
In the reading Of the British riot
act, which is necessary preliminary
% it's being put into operation, 1t is not
customary to recite the whole Of the
statute, which is rather long one, but
only the following proclamation, which
it contains: "Our sovereign lord the
King chargeth and commandeth all per-
sons being assembled Immediately to
lisperse themselves and peaceably to
depart to their habitations or to their

tanned in the act made in the first year

The roar Of lion, hunting, Is new

Agnes Herbert In 1.-TWO Dianas in So

lions, following them up through the
jungle, and the nearly fatal results to
herself In their capture.
In one tense second I realized that 1
had seen two monstrous moving beasts,
yellowish and majestic. They were
very close, and moved at slow pace
from the bush ahead into patch of
still thicker cover to the left. l remem-

which we had planned and longed and

must be dead. And yet, could one kill

It was my first lion-hunt, and my IT,

could do anything but bring up my rife

from the side Of the brake. NY nerves

myself to one side. There was no pow
