many lives when fire broke out in the

BIRRELL'S LITTLE JOKE.
Chief Secretary for Ireland Tells
How He Escaped Doctors.

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON, December H.-Mr. Birrell,
chief secretary for ireland, told an anus
ing story in proposing the toast OF the
Royal Society of Medicine at the annual
dinner at the Hotel Cecil. There was no
profession, he said, for, which he had a
profounder admiration, and there was
none about which he knew less: He had
hitherto-aithough there was plenty OF
time yet for an ample revenge-enjoyed
almost unbroken health. Only once in his
life did .he set out in search of a physician
for himself Only once In his life did he
feel persuaded that, he was smitten with a
mortal disease and SO he determined to
die secundum. artem-for, he was the last
man to be irregular in his departure from
this world.
He started on his journey to consult a
distinguished doctor who lived in the
neiehborhood OF Harley street. and who
he knew was great expert on the dis
ease TO which he thought he was victim.
1t was a hot day in July, and he thought
the time. was come TO take his last walk:
fre walked from his house. WHICH was In
the neighborhood of Addison road, to
Harley Street and was in dripping per-
spira ton He found the great physicians
rooms all crowded with patients-proba-
biz, he thought. suffering from a similar
complaint to himself.
While waiting he found on the table a
book written by the great physician on
the subject OF the particular: disease. He
opened the book. and the first words
which caught his eye We're these: The
patient who is suffering from this dis
blood in his veins. so he picked up his hat
and gloves and walked out and he had
never seen that eminent physician from
that day to this.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

1t is not to be expected that the Stock
| Exchange will prov. an exception to most
lines of business not connected with fur
nishing of materials for Christmas pres
ents during this holiday period. 1t may be
said that such expectations are not enter
tanned by the brokers, and consequently
they do not seem to be disturbed by the
| absence of orders.
This seemed to be the mood at the meet
ing Of the exchange today, and while the
week will be short one, owing to the
cutting out of Christmas day and the day
following, still no one appeared to care
much about business. at least they did not
do much On the contrary, the New York
market today, after period of decline in
prices during last week, began to recover
some of the lost ground and made quite
an advance.
In both markets. however, while the re-
suits differ, and at times quite widely, the
causes of fuctuation are much the same
especially when those are general. At this
time 1t is supposed the progress made by
the stock market toward higher levels is
merely going back to normal values es-
tablished by the earnings and the pros
poets of the various corporations. While
such recovery has been satisfactory SC
far as securities are concerned, the pro-
general business has by no means kept
pace with what has been going on In the
stock market.
There has been an improvement in the
business situation since the election, vet
1t has not attained the volume that was
expected. and it is supposed that this
condition is mirrOred to some extent by
the recent reaction which has taken
place in the stock market. 1t is realized
however. that what has been done toward
the rehabilitation of general business is
of substantial character. but the trou-
bic Is. Or rather, the complaint on the
part of people is, about the slowness OF
the progress
About the only occurrence at the meet
ing today of the Stock Exchange that
| could possibly be thought significant was
the attitude of one of the brokers toward
Capital Traction stock. He is usually re.
garded as the leader in this stock. and
today he showed a decided inclination to
buy the stock at 1870, however much
offered. In addition to making a bid fol-
twenty shares he also said he would
give the same for 100 shares. He secured
forty shares, which. with ten shares. com.
'prised all the trading in that security.

he was so young, and moreover look
