STOCK MARKET IS
 WILDLY EXCITED

New York, November 1S.-With an enormous volume of excited trading, prices advanced rapidly on the stock exchange today. For the first time this year brokers were unable to execute promptly all the orders they received. Houses having connections in the west were compelled to employ extra clerks to handle the great number of orders received from the investing and specu- Iating public, and small orders were accepted subject to delay.
 The leading feature of the activity was ;he dealing in the common stock of the United States Steel corporation a21. 800 shares of which changed hGud3 during the day in blocks ranging from 5000 to 15,O0o shares, each advance recording a new high record for that stock and adding new impetus to the startling upward movement of the mar ket. For the day the steel stock made a net advance of as points. Other stocks reached new record levels for the year with Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania conspicuous for strength.

Wild Life in the Balkans.

From the Chicago News.
 Besides some warlike men, Macedonia contains an ablndance of wild animals. A traveller writ%: .By the side of oaks and walnuts you find great tortoises and snakes eight feet long, and bears and wolves abound They are serious drag upon industry, and even in civilized Bull garia it has been found necessary to in- crease the governmental rewards for kill ing them. I believe 1t to be true story that a party of peasants with horses was not long ago wholly destroyed by wolves in the Mori Hovo mountains, nothing but the bits and stirrup irons being found.
 Tn the same hills the peasants migrate for the summer to lofty shoulders, where the land is flat enough to grow little patches of maize, and here, night after night, they will sit up with fire to drive off bears; there are tragic stories of women, with a baby on one arm, beat ing off a bear with the other with 8 burning brand from the fire.

HITCHCOCK WILL
 ESCAPE A TRIAL

New York November 1S.-Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian. probably never will be tried on the two indictments now standing against him as result of charges preferred against him by three young girls. District Attorney Jerome publicly announced in court today that he has abandoned hope of convieting Hitchcock and upon his recommendation the bail of s750o under which Hitchcock has been held was discharged. It is likely that his attorney will in a few days move for the dismissal of the indictments
 The arrest of Hitchcock and his sub sequent indictment and trials caused quite a sensation in theatrical circles about a year ago. He was acquitted on two of the four indictments found against him after Flora Winston, one of the compliments confessed that she testified falsely against Hitchcock She is now under S5OO0 bail in connection with the perjury charge.

From Army and Navy Life.

From Army and Navy Life.
 The bitterness towards innovation is just theh same in an army as out of 1t, but perhaps with more reason. A new thing cannot possibly be accepted until 1t has proved itself better than that which it ulsplaces. Long experimentation and trial are necessary, for we must always be sure what we can do with the men and and their equipment. Yet the oppo- stion to the nhew does seem unnecessa- rily bitter
 The first cannon were positively re- iected and the Christian inventor took them to the Turk, who used them at the siege of Constantinople The first fire arms were bitterly opposed because they destroyed the soldierly bearing of the troops The British navy strenuously ob- iected to the first large guns, because one charge would cost as much as Nelson's broadsides Ericsson's Monitor met with more opposition it. Washington than it did in Hampton Roads At the outbreak of the Civil War it is said that Congress ordered the adoption of the new weapon, over the objection of the Chief of Orr dnance, who kept specimen of the old one in his office to show visitors how good it was. Electric lighting was kept out of army posts for many years after 1t became a necessity of civilization, and the opposition was on the senile plea that it was still in the experimental stage. Every improvement in sanitation, from articles of comfort to actual necessities. has met the same kind of opposition. l we'll remember 20 years ago. an aged in- spector who strenuously objected to any plumbing in barracks or quarters as en- ervating, and an old Colonel who de- clined to allow his soldiers to have the new and comfortable bed which had been adopted. I am quite sure that every officer over 40 will raise his hands in hor hospitals to be efficient must be removed from all interference by laymen whether of line or staff, yet every medical officer knows how discipline and administration are injured by the present plan. I have frequently found that laymen wish us to change our methods and if we did not re- sist at the expense of considerable mili- tary friction we would kill more patients than we cure. Post hospitals therefore should be general hospitals, and as com pletely under technical control as ord nance depots are. l am ashamed to tell what I have heard from old medical of ficers in the way of objections to anti

DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
 CLOSE SESSION IN ATLANTA

Atlanta, November 13.--The fifteenth an- nual convention of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy will come to a close tomorrow. Mrs Cornelia Branch Stone of Dallas, Tex, will in all probabil- ity be reelected presdent-general The feature of the present convention, re- garded as the most important in the history of the organization, was the marked interest displayed in educational projects. and the future course of the daughters will be directed more closely to the educational need of the children of Confederate soldiers.
 At the night session s640 was subscribed to the Shiloh monument fund, the total amount of this fund now being s55oO.
 A report of the Arlington Monument association showed that total of s7261 had been collected for this fund. At last nights meetnig 1906 was added.
 At o'clock the ladies were rendered a reception at the Capital City club, given by the Atlanta chapter.
 Among the chapters from far away was the Oregon delegation, representing a newly organized band of 30 daughters on the Pacific coast. This is the first con- vention at which Oregon has been rep resented. The Ohio daughters told of their work in marking the graves of Con federate soldiers in Ohio. Philadelphia reported that Daughters of the Confed- eracy there were contributing literally to the Francis Barlow memorial, and Min nesota claimed the credit for having the latest chapter.
 The Mississippi daughters give figures showing handsome contributions to mon ument and memorials in their state.
 A unique organization not connected with the daughters was reported from Georgia. It consists of 18 former slaves near Dalton, Ga, banded together to preserve the qualities of efficiency which today make the genuine ''old mammies" famous.
 feature of the day was the fact that the presiding officer, Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, occupied a chair which formerly belonged to Jefferson Davis. Mrs. W. ]. Behan of New Orleans, president of the Southern Memorial association, which is collecting funds for a monument to Jefferson Davis in New Orleans, was presented to the convention.
 Mrs. Braxton Bragg, Gen. Stephen D. Lee and Gen. Alexander Stewart were among those eulogized at special memorial session.

MINERS WANT LAW
 FOR PROTECTION

Hamn, Westphalia, Germany Novem- Der ls.-A crowd of 15o0 angry miners made a hostile demonstration this after noon while Prince Eitel Frederick and Minister of Commerce DelbruclI were visiting the scene of the mine disaster. Miners greeted the Prince with shouts, Indicating their belief that the disaster was caused through fault of the mine management The district governor tried in a speech to pacify the miners, but they hooted him down and some of them struck up the "Marseillaise" and block aded the road and prevented the Prinoe's 3 automobile from advancing.
 Later the Prince received a deputation of miners ill the companys office The spokesman asked the Prince to report to Emperor William that they wanted a law for the protection of miners. The Prince promised the deputation that he would inform his father of their desire. The leader of the men subsequently, made Il speech to the crowd, requesting it to dis perse quietly, and this was done without further demonstration.

STANDARD OIL
 CASE IS HEARD

New York, November 13-A tariff sheet quoting 8 rate of six cents a hundred pounds for oil in ear load lots between Whiting. Ind. and Chicago was sent to the agent of the Standard Oil company In 1903 and to no other concern. according to Fred o. Hollands, the Chicago and Alton tariff clerk who gave testimony today in the governments suit to dis solve the Standard oil company of New Jersey. The witness declared it was the practice to send the tariff sheets only to shippers interested in the transporta- ton of particular kinds of goods men tioned in the rates. As no other con- cern was shipping oil to points spoken of but the Standard, said the witness the tarifr sheet in question went only to them.
 MT Hollands said that scarcely day passed that the road did not have diff ficulty in complying with the require ments of the interstate commerce com mission on the matter of filing rates. In the event of conflicting rates. he said. as when the listed tariff for oil was ten cents, and the actual shipping rate six cents, the lower rate was permitted for all oil shipments The highest rate was always done away with, added the witness.
 Any shipper could have had the same rate given the Standard Oil coinpany said MT. Hollands, as the rates were kept in books that were at the disposal of the public. Asked by MT. Kellogg if he meant to say that none of the indepen- dent refineries were shipping oil to their customers, the witness said that none of them was billing oil westward of Chi cago as they shipped from other points
 The last witness called was Horatio Tucker of New Rochelle, N. Y. MT. Tucker was chairman of the Chicago and St. Louis Traffic association until 1907 and previous to that general freight agent of the New York Central railroad. He was questioned about the manner in which reports on intrasrate and interstate rates had been made to the interstate commerce commission. MT. Tucker said it was not the custom of the Chicago and St. Louis Traffic association to file intrastate tariff sheets with the inter state commerce commission as the law did not require it. MT. Tucker said he had never heard of a six cent oil rate in existence between Whiting and St. Louis. If the roads made a direct rate from Whiting to St. Lours 1t would mean that the roads would have to divide be- tween them the switching charges be- tween Whiting and Chicago. he declared.
 At the conclusion of MT. Fuckers testt- mony an adjournment was taken until Monday.

TRAIN WRECK WILL
 BE INVESTIGATED

New Orleans, November 1S.-Not until the official investigation by the cor oner and grand jury does it seem prob able that the responsibility for the Little Woods railroad wreck of Wednes- day and it's eight deaths will be de- termined.
 Both the Northeastern and the Great Northern railroads, the two concerned in the wreck, are conducting a secret inquiry of their own, but it is re- garded as unlikely that the result of their investigation will be made public before the inquest of the coroner, set for tomorrow at 10 o'clock. The fix ing of the responsibility for the wreck Is a matter of great financial moment to the two roads, the road found at fault will undoubtedly be called upon to pay thousands of dollars in personal damages, not to mention the damage to their rolling stock and other equipment resulting from the collision.

Insane Man Is Found.

New York. November 13.-Prof. Mark w. Harrington, former chief of the United States weather bureau, who mysteriously dropped out of sight nearly 10 years ago, nas been found a hopeless mental wreck in the New Jersey asylum for the insane at Morris Plains. He has been an inmate of the asylum more than year. It was not until yesterday that his identity was established. Then the wife of the former weather bureau chief visited the asylum and identified the man as her missing husband. Mrs. Harrington, who lives in this city, said today that although her husband has changed greatly in appear ance since he left home 10 years ago. and did not recognize her when she vis- tied him at the asylum, she Is certain the man in the asylum is Professor liar Iington.

Got What He Asked For.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 Spufred on by newspaper taunts, pos sibly, a plain-clothes man of the Atlanta police set out one day to detect violations of the Georgia prohibition law. On Decatur street he met an old negro whose appear ance he concdered "suspicionus."
 Say, ulcle,'' he whispered with a wink, do you know where I can get some whisky?"
 "I spec maybe l kin git yer some eff yer gin me de money" replied the sus- peotcd one
 Well. here is a two-dolar bill" said the plain clothes man. I'll wait in the alley here. Now hurry back"
 ''Yessah boss, eff yell jes' hoP dis box CT shoes fer me- and the policeman had the boxunder his arm before he knew it. while the darkey shambled off down tlle street, turning the first corner.
 ThinkJng he was on a warm trail and would soon have an important prisoner and witness with the goods on,' the sleuth waited in patience. An hour went by He was getting tired. Two hours. Still no sign of the messenger.
 Weary and discouraged, he returned to the police station. Suddenly he remem- bcree the shoes under his arm, and de- c;ded to have a look. The box contained carefully wrapped, full quart bottle of ccrn whisky.

NO LOWER RATES.
Railroad Experts Testify In Missouri
 Rate Cases.

Kansas City, November 13.-Missouri' S geographical position makes lower freight and passenger rates in the state impracticable, according to the opinions of railroad experts who testified in the Missouri rate cases today. Columbus Hale. vice president and traffic manager of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas rail- road. said that low freight and passen- ger rates in Missouri would disturb the fabric of rates in general force in the United States. The testimony Of two oth- CT experts was practically the same Mir Hale testified that it is not possible to lower the state rates in Missouri without seriously affecting the interstate business across tine continent.
 He also believed that the great conner cial cebters, Chicago. St Louis and Kan sas Cfty. would suffer more than the railrolds by a shske-up in the tariffs.

PURSUING THE GRIZZLY.
One Bear Plus Another Bear Equal
 How Many Bears?
From Everybody's Magazine.

From Everybodys Magazine.
 At q half run we followed down the trail, for there was no difficulty in pick ing it up wherever it crossed an open spot: but without warning the hillside ahead of us dropped off abruptly, and we emerged upon thecrest of SSo-toot declivity choked with devil clubs and underbrush, the tops of the spruce show ing beneath us. Joe altered his course toward the right, when I saw over the edge and not 30 feet away, a grzzled scufr of hair looking like the back of a porcupine.
 There he is.' called sharply. Look out for yourself,'
 I stepped to the edge of the bluff, for after my first glimpse that angry fur had disappeared-and looked down direct ly into the countenance of the largest grizzly in the world, Halted by our approach he had paused just under the crest
 1 have seen several Alaskan bears at close range, but I never saw one more distinctly than this, and I never saw a wickeder face than the one which glared up at me. His muzzle was as gray as a whistler s back, the silver hairs of his shoulders were end like quills, while his little pig eyes were bloodshot and blazing.
 
 rife sights cudded together, but in that fraction of a second before the finger crooks out from the brush behind him scrambled another bear. a great, lean, gh-quartered brute of cinnamon shade, appearing to my startled eyes to stand as tall as a heifer
 Now, I never happened to be quite so intimate with a pair of grizzlies before, and since that moment I have frequently wondered how they happened to impress me so strongly with the idea of 8 crowd. The woods seemed suddenly filled with bear, and involuntarily I swept the glades below to see if this were a pro- cession, or a bear carnival Of some sort. That instant's weakness cost me the finest pelt I ever saw, for at my move ment bear number one leaped, and as I swung back to cover him, I saw only a brown flank disappearing behind a bar rier of projecting logs. At this distance I dared not take a chance on other than a head shot, so I jumped back, peering through the brush at our level, hoping to see him as he emerged
