IN Assoclalod press.l

NEW YORK. Jan. 25--There were
no occurrences of sufficient import
ancc to prompt large new operations
in stocks on either side of the mar
kct today and the dull business and
narrow fluctuations were the conse-
quencc.
The piling UP of bank reserves has
spent it's force as an influence III
stimulating speculative buying al
stocks. and the common assumption
that the bank statement would show
another large gain in cash holdings
was not an important factor in the
market.
The news of the settlement CT la
Der troubles in Manchester Eng,
made a good impression owing to its
behring's on the foreign demand for
our cotton cron.
Tho reduction of the official dis
count rate OF the Imperial Bank of
Germany was not likely to prove OF
much influence in this market after
the small attention excited by the
reductions III the English and French
bank rates earlier In the week. The
waiting attitude of the market Is at
tributed in Fart to the desire To see
the quarterly report of the United
States Steel Corporation, to de pre-.
scented at the meeting of directors
next Tuesday.
Tho expectation that the govern
ments intentions concerning the pros
ccution of the Hartman railroad mer-
ger would be formally announced Mt
Washington, was another represslvc
influence on activity.
Northern Pacific showed some more
special strength. but the majority of
stocks left off not far from last
nights prices. Tho bank statement
proved similar to the one of the week
preceding and the copious replenish-
mcnt of banking facilities disclosed
andy bore out the Testimony cs the

by n stone thrown by playmate, pretty
little Helen Katherine BrunddeII, Z

faced her assaiIant In the Second Pre-

Parker, our neighbor's boy, came along.
He and Halen quarreled and then

rain, was at an unusually high level,
and as the little fellow could not swim
he was in grave danger.

was crowded with children at the time,
who saw Williams plight and gave the
alarm. Young Pinto was the first to
reach the bank of the stream, and with
out stopping to remove any of his
clothing, dircd into the canal from the
opposite side from where William had
fallen and came up just as little Will
lam Brown appeared for the last time.

of his wet clothing, he took the school
boy in his arms and bore him to his

Samson and Louis XVI,

Three letters written by Samson, the
eXecutioner of the terror" are printed
in the Paris Gaulois. One of the most
interesting of them is short enough to
be quoted in full:
"CitiZen-I have just learnt that the
rumour is current that | am selling or
causing to be sold locks of the hair of
Louis Capet. If any have in fact been
sold, this abominable trade can only
have been carried on by impostors. The
truth is that | have not allowed any
one in my house to carry away even
the smallest relic"
Samson, it appears, had in his private
capacity much sympathy with the
king whose head it was his duty in his
professional capacity to cut off. In
another letter he attributes the courage
with which he met his death to the
firmness of his religious principles,
and when he himself died in 1906 he
bequeathed money to pay for masses
for his victims soul.
