A special Christmas programme brought out large attendance of the Halle club members to their club rooms for Sunday afternoon. A num- Der of out of town friends of the members were also guests for the de- lightful hours spent.
 A feature that had been anticipated with interest was the appearance of the choral class in several selections in which they had been instructed by Miss Mary Rogers. Their numbers were melodiously given and warmly praised by the club members, and the solos were an especially enjoyable part of the afternoon. Miss Susan I. Gal lup and Miss Gladys Upton were the accompanists for the following pro- gramme:
 Duet, Adeste Fideles, Miss Nellie Delaney and Miss Rose Leopold; carol, Holy Night, Halle club chorus: solo. The Holy City, Miss Katharine Kirby: solo. The Babe of Bethlehem, Miss Mollie James; carol The First Noel, Halle club chorus; solo, It Came IJp- on the Midnight Clear, Gladys Eliot; solo, The Song of Ages, Miss Helen Grove; o Little Town of Bthlehem, Halle club chorus: solo, Cantique de Noel Miss Delaney.
 A part of the afternoon which was of absorbing interest was furnished by the two Christmas trees with their loads of presents, but before these were distributed by Miss Rose Leopold as Santa Claus, Miss Mary Kane. the president presented Mrs. William c. Lanman on behalf of the club beau tiful ebony handled silver coffee rot. suitably engraved. Her heartfelt ap- preciation of the gift was expressed by Mrs. Lanman, who told the mem bers that one best Christmas present they might give her would be to make the club stand for the highest and the noblest in womanhood.
 The pretty gifts were distributed by numbers from the trees, which were lit by electricity, and this part of the programme was delightful for all.
 The club has realized $50 from the sale of the handsome begonias. Gloire de Lorraine, which were raised in Mrs. Lanman's greenhouses by her gardner, MT. Beasley. This week there is a New Years eve dance and the club will be open for members on New Years.

WALL STREET sToMACHs.

New York. Aug. 30-This commun- ity has developed in recent years A special class of physicians who in a town of fewer Democratic professions might attach to their signs the proud testimonial By Special Appointment of Wali Street."
 They minister to stomachs that have burned out their vitality in the mad hunt for dollars. Some of them have only a single patient like those who devote themselves to men like MT. Rockefeller and MT. Hartman 9th CTS who are engaged at given periods. accompany their patients in travel. and nearly all are under a retainer which enables them to restrict their practice to the few who assure them a better income than they could get if they att tended to all corners They maintain establishments in the choice residen- tial districts and must live with all the outward show of the wealthy to whom they cater.
 The kind of a breakdown that de- stroys a normal appetite and which Wall street induces. may be classed a S one of the burdens of wealth.
 If the best known names were se- lected from the offices in the Wan street district, they would furnish a fairly accurate list of those whor specialists are treating. There arc few sound stomachs in the lot.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 3o.--The clearine up of the atmosphere of gloomy ap. prehension hsas. regarding, the condition ol advance of the opening of the stock market today. In fact, the fright which showed the stock market com munity on Saturday might have dis the session extended to the afternoon as usual on week days. As 1t was, the afternoon on Saturday and the in terval saw . steady growth of confi- mau's condition had been exaggerated The frankness of friends and members of the family of the financier. in con trast with the mystery which had been wrapped about the subject since the return from Europe and the dis appearance from public view took the ground from under the feet of the alarmists and rumor mongers.
 The consequence to the Qver-extend- ed short interest was rather serious. as the first prices quoted at the Stock Exchange this morning showed an in- stantaneous cancellation of a great sharp decline of Saturday. The shorts themselves contributed to the showing by their scramble to secure stocks, warned by the tenor of the news news and ,.i the oLndon market before trading had been resumed in New York.
 The Hartman stocks were naturally ~ss mIs' commSn snns.sd; to 9Ss eSs whole I list.
 Opening gains of one to three points owe rthe closing prices of Saturday were general throughout. It was as- serted that many of the orders execut- counts of would-be investors who had been watching for. a sharp decline to come into themarket. The sales or were at 200 to 200 8. Union Pacific was a dominant influence on the mar ket throughout the day. It's occasion al reactions on profit-taking brought a pause in the general movement and when It's advance was renewed aggres- sively the whole list responded al- though inl ess degree. Union Pacific touched POP -4 and closed only sl-s
 The sustained strength of United States Steel completed the reassurance of speculatiove sentiment. The large part played by that stock was a sus- kets left apprehension that there would be after distribution to meet after stock accumulated in the course of the supporting operation. The fresn .n advance to within point of the top price of record quieted this apprehen- sion and left the advancing tendency without single mateIiai vSs'ac,s: s c,ss to explain the recovery in prices aside from the Changes view of E. H. Har- riman's physician condition.
 Rains in the corn belt over Sunday corrected one of the few unfavorable factors pointed to last week. Some of the Eastern railroad officials advance the suggestion that two weeks more of the rate of expansion of the freight movement in the last fortnight will see a shortage of cars on their lines. The seasonable tightening of the money market which continues and the un- L. 1~xr fA rryhf fnh YNF in the reaction. With the covering of large lines of shorts the keeness of late demand abated considerably.
 The report of a dictated statement by Mir. Hartman was coinctdent to bic and speculative bonds were steady. United States bonds unchanged on call.
