EVENTFUL WEEK IN THE STOCK MARKET Speculative Operators Have An
 Object Lesson WERE OVER CONFIDENT Principal Feature of the Week Is the Movement In Consolidated Gas
 Following Decision of the
 Supreme Court.

New York, January 10.-Speculative op- orators in the stock market had admin istered to them last week an object les son of too confident assumption of events not yet definitely decided and the taking to heart of the lesson resulted in some revision of opinion of prospects and of some misgivings over the extent to which buying of stock had carried prices. The sharp readJustment to lower prices was the consequence, the action being so abrupt and so headlong as to leave room for some upward reaction before the week had closed. followed, however, by another relapse.
 The center of the disturbance was in Consolidated Gas, in which there had been so excessive a speculation on assur- ance that the S0-cent legal restriction of the price of gas would be declared in valid, that a heavy realizing movement might have been expected to follow even a favorable outcome of the litigation con- testing the law. Instead of that the su- preme court gave it's sanction to the

Lords Prayer on a Pin.

From the St. Nicholas.
 Probably we have all heard of one-dol- lar gold pieces with the Lords Prayer en- graved on one side. Several years ago these were worn by many as watch charms. Occasionally even now one may be seen thus worn. Such minute engrav- ing may well be considered slSilful work.
 But recently this has been made to seem, at least by comparison, quite simple matter, because MT. William l.. Stuart, a young man engaged in busi- ness in New York city, has performed the seemingly impossible feat of engrav- ing the entire Lords Prayer on the head of an ordinary pin, to which he has added his name and the year, making altogether 276 letters and figures.
 MT. Stuart did the work at odd times during his regular employment and with very ordinary tools, which seemingly are not adapted to such fine engraving. The pin was set in a block of wood, and a common engraver's tool was used. A sim pie microscope costing only about 9 cents. and known as a .1inen tester," furnished the necessary magnifying.

Drug Stores Stay Open.

The Atlanta ministers have failed sig nally in their efforts to induce the Atlanta drug stores to close their places of bus mess on Sunday.
 Five or six of the more prominent drug gists agreed to close their stores If the others would do so, and one went so far as to close for one Sunday in good faith, with view to continuing 1t, if the movement proved a success.
 But the first Sunday of the new year came and the drug stores didn't close, and the druggists now make the announce ment that they will continue to remain open on the Sabbath unless forced by law to close.
 The ministers have not exactly threat ened to take the matter into the courts, but have in some cases intimated that such might be the result if the druggists failed to close up voluntarily.

The national capital is the news field whereon interest will center during the week. The extreme sensitiveness of the existing relations between the chief ex- ecutive and the Congress, and the likeli- hood of further occurrences tending to accentuate the situation will focus wide attention upon the sessions of both House and Senate. Senator Tillman's speech on Monday, making reply to the charges brought against him in the Presidents 8 latest special message, is not expected to go far in the direction of clearing the of 1cial atmosphere of the capital On the contrary, the speech of the South Carolina senator is more likely to widen still fur ther the breach between the chief ex- ecutive and the legislative branch of the government.
 While the President and Congress are thus engaged in settling their differences in affairs of state, the President-elect will break his period of restful recreation in Georgia long enough to make a speech to the Augusta Bar association on Monday night, and another on Friday night to the i Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
 A meeting of the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor on Monday at Washington will develop news of much interest to the labor world. A discussion will be had on the recent sen tences imposed upon Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison and some specific policy formulated with regard to this and possible subsequent court decisions in con- tempt cases.
 The week will see the closing of at least one famous criminal trial, the beginning of another and the possible clearing up of baffling mystery. The case of Thorn ton J. Hains, charged as a principal with his brother Capt. Peter C. Hains, Jr., in the murder of William E. Annis last summer is expected to be given to the jury on Monday. At San Francisco on the same day, Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Railways of that city, will be placed on trial, charged with bribing members of the board of supervisors dur ing the administration of Eugene E. Schmitz. The sensational murder at Len nox, Mich, where the dismembered body of a man supposed to be Gideon Brown ing was found partially incinerated in stove, and the search for the Rev. Car michael, furnishes one of the most mys- tifying crimes of recent months.
 On Wednesday the Cuban congress will meet in Havana to pass on the credentials of senators and representatives. It is a necessary step in the movement to turn the government of the island over to the Cubans themselves on January 20, the congress will reassemble to proclaim the election of a President and vice presi- dent, and eight days later it will enter upon a continuous session, with the inau- guration of President Gomez.
 A mid-winter golf tournament at Pine hurst, N. C.. beginning Monday, and the Abe Mitchell-Freddie Weeks fight for the featherweight championship at Goldfield, New, on Thursday are among the im- portant sporting features of the week.

A TEXAS STEER
At THE ORPHEUM

Charles Hoyts comedy "A Texas
Steer" in the hands of the Elleford
company at the Orpheum last night
was given a splendid performance
People not familiar with the Hoyt
plays were agreeably surprised, as they
did not know the exquisite comedy in
this best of American comedies. The
EllefOrd company has presented the
play in ali of the larger cities of the
coast 1t gives all of the company
parts that show their best work. Bran
der, the old Texan cattleman is in the
hands OF Clarence Ferguson, and it
gives him one of the best character
parts of the engagement The original
company could not have had a better.
Matte Lloyd Luce appears as Bossy
his little daughter, and is green, bur
knows enough to speak up for her
rights. She gave a chaming perform
ance of the little Texas maid. Anna
Dodge was a vigorous and laughable
Mrs. Brander, the mother of Bossy
and Miss Due made a chaming Dixie.
George Hernandez handled Eishach,
the Minister to Dahomey" in his in
imitable manner. 1t is a part with a
lot of comedy and just a touch Of
pathos, and George was capable of get
ing all there was in the part out Of it.
Frank Wyman did a clever double in
the parts of Lieutenant Green and
Othella, the negro servant. The part
of Colonel Brassy Gall fell to Pietro
Sosso. and he made much of it, receiv-
ing lots of hearty laughs. Clarence
Ferguson also had two parts in Major
Yell and Colonel Pepper, an old SOL
der, and the parts gave him chance
to present two entirely different char
acter studies. Ray Collins was Knott
limit, a Washington lobbyist secretary,
and also did a small character bit
cleXerly in Antple, the French servant
