Belgian Children.

This delight in the family life Is
characteristic of all Belgians. One
sees in Brussels and Antwerp mon.
sieur promenading in the boulevard or
the bois with cigar in his mouth,
madame leaning on his arm, and the
children. hand in hand, walking Sc
dately under the proud eyes Of their
parents.
One finds children in the restaur
ants and children in the music halls.
The pleasures of father and mother
are shared always with the nursery.
To go jmketing without the children
would appear to the Belgian not only
selfish but dull, His happiness is the
happiness of his children. He sees the
circus half with his own eyes and halt
with theirs. The toyshops and book
shops in Brussels tell of the para
mount part played by the child The
happiness of this people is the pleas
ure of domestisity.

Stock Market Weakens IN Last
Trading Of Day.
EARLY STRENGTH WAS A FEATURE
Some of Favorlte Speculative Issues
Rose to Record Figures-Then
Came Reaction Without AM Ex-
PLANTATION other Than Exhaustion.
fBv Associated Press,

NEW YORK, May 20.-The reaction
in the late stock market today had
no other explanation than the seem
ing exhaustion OF the power OF the
upward movement. The morning
dealings showed animation and great
strength, prices of some OF the IA
vorite speculative issues rising to rec
crd figures. United States Steel had
never sold at 60 before, nor had
Southern Pacific ever sold at 124 IL
until today.
Readings rise 10 159 "a placed 1t at
the highest price since January Of
1906, and Union Pacific got back to
the highest level of the present year.
Bet prices for the present year were
touched, In fact. by number of i'm
portant stocks. The heavy selling OF
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
which followed the declaration of div
idends at unchanged rates was at
tributed to the disappointment over
the failure to advance the dividends.
The weakness of the Hartman stocks.
however. was no greater than that
in Chesapeake and Ohio after the dec
laration of the one per cent. quarterly
dividend on that stock. thus fulfilling
long standing expectation OF the
placing of the stock on four per
cent. basis It's price has been ad-
vanced many times on recurrent ru-
mors that this action was imminent,
but il ran off TO-DAY with the fulfil
ment of the prediction. Speculative
profit taking was principal factor in
the reaction
The selling of United States Steel
at sixty seemed to be taken as sig
nal for such profit taking on a very
large scale The increase in the At
lantic Coast Line dividend was of
some benefit to that stock and to
others in the Southern group. but
their advances were not all held.
London was a considerable buyer of
stocks in this market. although the
origin of this buying was a matter
of some doulr Time money rates
were still inclined to yield.

Passenger Steamer Kansas City
Preparing For Long Trip.
LOADING HER TROUBLESOME JOB
Vessel is Not Constructed for Coal
Carrying, and Cargo viii Have to
Be Put Through Side Ports-6arge
Brittania Floated.

The passenger steamer Kansas
City, formerly owned by the Ocean
Steamship Company which was re-
Gently purchased by the San Francis
and Portland Steamship Company,
arrived in port yesterday mcrning 10
load a cargo of coal for the "trip ornud
the Horn to San Francisco.
The Kansas City was not designed
for the transportation of coal, and II
is expected that considerable trouble
will be experienced in loading her,
the coal will all have to be put
into the hold through side ports.
A rather curious coincidence in con-
nection with the Kansas City is that
fact that she has been bought by the
same line for which the local ship
yard has contract to build two large
freight and passenger steamers for
service on the Pacific coast. and one
of the two steamers for which the
yard secured the contract a few days
ago will be used to replace her on the
Savannah line owned by the Ocean
steamship Company.
Mr.. K. NJ. Schwerin, vice president
AID experimenting engineer OF the
San Francisco and Portland Steam
ship Company, is on board the Kansas
City. and will make the trip around
the Horn in the ship. While here Mr..
Schwerin will probably consult with
the shipyard officials relative to the
two new freight and passenger steam
ers which his line is having con-
structed at the local plant.

BARGE BRITTANiA IS

Steamer Bay City is Still Hard

Word was received here yesterday
that the barge Brittiana, which with
the whale back steamer Bay City
went ashore at Southwest Point, on
the coast of--Block Island on Sunday
while bound from this port 10 Proyf-
dence with cargo Of coal, was ficat-
ed late Wednesday night by the COM

nue. cutter Arcadia. At the last re-
port the Bay City was still on the
beach and lying in a very precarious
position, with a number OF holes IN
her hull and leaking badly.
The Brittania was towed to New
Londcn as soon as the tugs succeed
ed in floating her and 1t is expected
that a survey will be held on her
there to ascertain the amount of dam
age she sustained while stranded on
