Growing Confidence Stamped
Dealings of Short Session.
A SUBSTANTIAL REVIVAL
Selling to Take Profits Quite Heavy
at Times.
IT WAS ABSORBED READILY
Traders Hopeful of Better Feeling at
Washington Toward Transporta-
ton Traffic.
IT WAS ABSORBED RE.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE stock
market made a striking demonstration oil
strength today during the short SATURDAY
session and gave convincing evidence OF
a substantial speculative revival with
growing confidence in its expression and
broadening participation in the number
concerned in the operations. The market
showed greater digestive power than AT
any previous period of the week and was
sharply tested i'm that respect. as the SELL
ing to take profits from time to time was
heavy. This selling was absorbed with
readiness and slight influence that was
impressive of the power of the forces
back of the market.
The demonstration was the more re-
markable coming after the uncertain ac-
ton of the weeks markets, which have
given an impression of skillful fostering
and cautious profit-takng, such as not
infrequently is followed by abandonment
and relapse after all available advantage
has been squeezed out of the situation.
The stimulating influence on the specu-
lation clearly looked to washington ioi

great property interests of the country

the financial district.
Brokers Are Hopeful.
The belief is held that these consulta-
lions seek means to bring about increased
return for the transportation traffic OF
the country and an assurance of share
in the increase on the part of labor
which would obviate the costly disputes
over wages which it has been feared are
necessary in seeking a settlement
Surmses over the scope of the plans
discussed in Washington broadened today
and include supposed steps to do away
with the present rigid prohibition of the
Sherman law of all agreements in re-
Straint Of trade so as to qualify the re-
strictions and to allow railroad traffic
agreements and such others as may be
deemed fair and reasonable.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. March 14.-Business did ex-
pand materially on the stock exchange
during the past week, the early strength
of the gilt-edge section was replaced later
by dullness and irregularity, and quota

last Saturday. The advent of cheaper

mixed blessing, as it brought out num-
Der of fresh issues which, actual and
prospective amount to about E12,OOO,OOO.

nature, they have diverted attention from

this the latter have dropped and no ma
terial expansion of business in these
shares is anticipated until the new nota-
lions have been disposed Of.
The foreign section of the market re-
ceived but little support from Paris and
Berlin throughout the week. Paris Is
upset by the Moroccan situation, the de-
forthcoming Russian loan. while in Ber-
lin operations were affected by the shrink
age in trade and the consequent results
on the bank returns

down by half a dozen bottles of beer. Fitz
then hitched up his team and drove TO a

ancient fire water and the lanky man did
full justice to it. He was back at quar-

SERVICE IN THE CABINET
Presidents who Tried in the Early
Days to Retain Cabinets of
Predecessors.

II President John Adams had been a man
Of different temperament, the custom
might have been established in the early
years of the government of the United
States Of retaining the cabinet of one adj
ministration for service with its successor,
where that successor succeeded to the
political ideas Of its predecessor. Presi-
dent Adams sought at first to retain
through his administration the members Of
the cabinet of President Washington. In
deed, at hat early period the status of a
cabinet officer was not exactly that of the
present time, md in the course of Presi-
dent Adams rows with the members Of his
Official household he resorted TO the
strange step of removing his secretary of
state, Timothy Pickering and James Nc
Henry. his secretary of war.
President jefferson, of course, took a
new cabinet. President Madison continued
in his administration a number of the
cabinet officers OF President jefferson,
and President Monroe held some of his
predecessors. John Quincy Adams also
continued to meet about his council board
some of the advisers of James Monroe, but
Andrew Jackson began his administration
with an entirely new set Of official coun-
selOrs. He maintained also another set of
advisers, unofficial, who became known as
the Kitchen cabinet"
For some time the gentlemen who had
acted respectively as secretary of the treas
ury. secretary of war, secretary OF the
navy. postmaster general and attorney
general in the cabinet OF President Jackson
retained their seats under President Van
Buren,, but changes only awaited the pas
sage OF time.

Twenty-nine years of uninterrupted sue
cess, the Endorsement of the friends Of
humanity, and the applause of more than
three hundred and fifty thousand gradu-
ates, is the record of the Kelley cure for
liquor and drug additions. In 1880, when
Doctor Kelley declared that drunkenness
was a disease. and that he had discovered
a remedy for II, the declaration was re-
ceived much as the news of Gallileo's ais
coVery that the earth was round. or
Harvey's discovery of the circulation OF
the blood. Abuse and ridicule were heaped
upon the bold scientist. Even so great a
philosopher as Bacon did not believe in
blood circulation. But truth is ever tri-
umphant, and time and investigation have
for his twin observation-disclosures and the
remedy. What Doctor Kelley said then,
and what the pioneer institute at Dwigh
Ill, and It's many branches throughout the
United States and say today is,
namely, that II the drink habit be con-
tinued long enough, the victim becomes a
drunkard. This indicates a diseased con-
dition wherein the nerve cells have become
so accustomed to performing their func-
tions under the influence of alcohol that
they are dependent upon 1t, and will no
longer perform their functions properly
and painlessly except when under alcoholic
Influence. This condition proves that a
craving exists. The craving proves a dis
eased condition of the nerve cells. AS the
physician diagnoses a cough as the symp-
tom OF diseased condition. the Kelley ply
symptom of diseased nerve cells. The
general practitioner aims to remove the
cause. when this is done the symptoms
disappear. The Kelley treatment restores
the cells to a normal condition and the
craving for drink disappears.

FIGHTERS HATED TO TRAIN
Surprising Methods of Sullivan, Fitz-

LONG CHANCE ON GETTING LICKED

'Wait tin | get a shave and a haircut

is what John l.. Sullivan used to say
when some new rival had been dug up
and the big fellow was requested to be-
gin training. Sullivan never cared much
for training and was not an exception to
the rule either. Many of the greatest
fighters get into idle and lazy habits
after they have reached the top rung Of
the ladder. The overwhelming defeat of
Stanley Ketchel in California recently at
the hands of Bliss Papke. the new middle
weight champion. is said to have been
due to a lack of training coupled with
the highest sort of living. Even James
J. Jeffries, the greatest of all pugilists,
never liked to train.

Jeff recently, but the training is in
formally hard work for a big fellow like
me. You see I'm so heavy that it's a
very tough job to take the weight off,
