Copper was advanced another small fraction oH the metal markets. Yes. terdays compilation showed copper ex- ports for last month to be 2,300 tons ahead of September but otherwise smaller than any month this year ex- cept March and July.

Union Pacific preferred stock ad- vanced from 92 5-s Saturday to a5 to- day against a high price of 96 and low price of 75 last year. This advance on top of rise Of 7-S Saturday, was popularly ascrlbed to expectation of some sort of holding company plan for the Union Paci1cs investments In stocks of other railways. The preferred share certificates make no provision for par ticipation in such distribution, but us- age would apparently require 1t. This assumption led to the questions, what the rights in any such distribution of assets would be worth, and what fair valuation of the preferred stock, OK rights would be. At present, the out standing common stock Is sl95, GOO and preferred stock $99, 54i, ,00O So the participation of the preferred in hold ing-company scheme would draw a considerable equity away from the common.

Mr.. Dolby didn't answer the ques-

Deacon Dolby was digging potatoes
In the garden the other afternoon and
stopping occasionally to throw a stone
or clod Of earth at hog that was
hunting for a hole in the fence to get
in when Mrs. Dolby called to him from
the back steps:

why she hasn't brought my nutmeg
CRATER back. I shall want it in making
q custard pie for supper. Mrs. Gay is
one Of the best women in the world,
but she never thinks Of returning any
thing she borrows."
Deacon Dolby looked up and nodded
his head, and his wife departed on her
errand and was absent half an hour.
When she returned she came out to
where he was still bringing the pota-
toes out Of the ground, and without
saying a word she keeled over In the
dirt and rolled up her eyes and In

kicks. The deacon didn't seem in the
least surprised. He stopped and lifted
her one side and dug three more hills
Of potatoes. Then, as she had not re-
covered consciousness, be picked her
up in his arms and carried her into the
house and laid her down on the lounge.
He didn't bring out the camphor bot
tie nor throw water in her face. On
the contrary. he sat down at the stand
not far away and picked up the family
album and began to look through It. A
long minute elapsed, and then Mrs.
Dolby struggled to sitting position
and asked:

located in Richmond D. Webster
Davis, holding out his hands first to
the white people who crowded almost
every seat in the lower part OF the
house, and then to the members OF his
own race, who leaned over the edges
of the galleries, exclaimed: II want

negro men and women than this pipe

no more conceive of It than they could

or pulling up the Rocky Mountains

Continuing, the speaker said that the
colored people had long since come to
the conclusion that nothing could be
accomplished by their race without the
aid and sanction OF the white people.
'"The race question:" he said, us
capable Of solution in the Southland,
the common heritage Of both the white
man and the negro Conditions, he
reminded the members of his race,
may be different in the North, but
a negro is Just as black in Boston us
he Is in Virginia.
Passing from this. he reviewed the
history of the negro in the South his
value as a. tiller of the soil and his
surprising faithfulness during the try
Ing days OF the war.
In closing his speech Professor Web
ster made strong appeal. for the aid
of the white people In the efforts to
bring to Richmond the building and
exhibit made by the negroes at tho
Jamestown Exposition.
Their object Is to place in the capital
Of the Confederacy this building and
Its contents as monument to what
the negro can do in his native land,
and as an incentive toward greater
things In the future.
Word From Giles jackson.
The meeting was presided over by
Giles Jackson, who spoke In his INF
mttable fashion, which is always
greeted with applause He said that
one of the first things he ever learned
was to stand in" with the white
folks" and that 1t had stood him in
ticc of law In the city, he told them,
he had made 100000 by their opera
ton. small amount of which was still
In his possession. He said that poll
tics was the root OF evil; that in re-
construction times he dared not adj
dress a white audience, and that incl
dentally he walked and had no soles on
his shoes, but that now since politics
had been eliminated. the white folks,
applaud his oratorical efforts. and In
consequence. he wears good shoes and
rides in a buggy.
Shortly before the close of the meet
ing, cards We're passed around on
which the audience could write SUBJ
scrlptions, and there were liberal re-
sponses.
In regard to the location of the mu,
