STOCK QUOTATIONS AND GOSSIP 0N
 EXCHANGES

BOSTON, August 25.-Traders seem ed to construe Hartman s appearance and remarks in bearish light, and sold stocks, and were successful in forcing prices lower, which brought about liquidation. The market is still purely professional affair, and will probably continue to present more or less irregular appearance for some days, or until something definite in the way of news is published.
 The crop situation is the dominant feature, and the course of prices will be influenced by the character of re- ports from day to day. Toward the close the market rallied on short cover ing. and at the close prices of the most active stocks showed improvement
 The Boston market showed consider able activity today; liquidation was noticeable in Lake, but buying was consistent. The advance in North Butte yesterday brought out selling orders this morning; but toward the close the stock gained all rhe loss. and made new high figure for the move. Insiders sup porting North Lake kept the stock steady. Balance of the list was dull, with no selling pressure.

Page and Pickins in Canadian

The following dispatch from Cobalt, Ontario, to the Montreal Mail and Elm pire shows what the Canadian press thinks of Globe $ champion drillers;
 All Cobalt went down to the athletic grounds today to see Page and Pickins, champion drillers from Globe, Arizona, drill forty three inches in thousand dollar contest. Previously the best To- cal team could only drill 2s inches. The westerners won thousands of dollars by backing themselves to drill over forty inches.
 Other teams competing were local, but the second was thirteen inches behind the giant westerners and the third was four inches behind them again.
 The prize winners were: Page and Pickens. entered as from Temiskaming mine. 43 Is inches, $1,000; M. MePhall and II. Macdonald, Clifford mine, 30 5-S inches, $500; Nipissing team, 263 inches, $250

Globe Has the Last Word m
 History of Faayul Dogs

Scores of stories have been related re- garding the faihtfulness of dumb an. mals, but Globe has one which is 6 par allel for any which have so far been published.
 "Nigger, shaggy haired canine belonging to Dave Reed, master mechan- ic of the Gila Valley line, followed his master from Globe more than fifty miles down the local railroad, when. Reed left for Pearce last Monday and it was not until the dog gave out from exhaustion that he gave up the unequal race be- tween him and the train and started on his way back to Globe.
 He arrived yesterday, nearly starved, and so footsore that he could hardly walk. When he found his master, who had in the meantime returned to Globe, he sprang at him with joyous bark and then nearly collapsed from exhaus- ton.
 This was not Nigger's first trip of this kind. Several months ago, when an engine was being tested, he followed the iron horse for several miles down the valley line. Finally one of the train

ARE DISAPPOINTED BY
 HARTMAN
FINANCE KING SAYS NO MELONS FROM PACIFIcs VINE WILL
 BE CUT AT ONCE

NEW YORK, August 25.-With the return of Hartman and his positive avowal that no immediate distribution of melons to holders of Union and Southern Pacific securities is contem- plated, change seemed to come over the spirit of Wall street $ speculative dreams today
 While the magnate s plans for new construction, development and expan- sion find hearty echo in conservative quarters, there is some disappointment, largely among the professional element, that the chief incentive for forcing liar riman stocks to rise higher have gone, for time at least
 Quite as important as Hartman s re- turn is the victory gained yesterday by western railroads over the interstate commerce commission in the Missouri rate case.
 If the opinion is sustained by the higher tribunal it will greatly eurtail the power of the commission over the transportation companies.
 Opening sales of stocks reflected ner- vousness and unsettled conditions, the greatest losses being incurred by the Hartman group. Except for Union Pa ciic, trading was not in especially large volume.

crew saw the dog in the distance and the engine was stopped until he ap- peared. Mig was then taken aboard an., given ride in the cab for the balance of the trip.
 There is hardly man working in the local yard who can board or alight from the running board of an engine any bet ter than can Nigger. He often rides from one end of the ward to the other and he seldom takes spill in align, ing, no matter how fast the engine may be going.
 Whenever the shop whistle blows, Nigger is on the job. With his muzzle pointing straight toward the sky he let's out a doleful howl which lasts until the whistle has ceased blowing No other whistle disturbs him. but he joins in thc chorus with the shop siren, no matter when if blows.
 Instinctively the dog knows a railroad man, even if he has never seen him be fore. But let suspicious looking out sider come into the yards when Nigger is around and there will be decidedly interesting session for few minutes.

The Way He Helped the Housemaid

 A good story Is told at the expense of a constable in rural England. says a writer in the London Telegraph.
 Not long ago young and pretty housemaid arrived at the big house of the neighborhood. and it was observed that our friends beat often took him in that direction. At first she seemed to resent his advances. but suddenly she changed altogether, and the course of true love appeared to run smooth for a time.
 One night be called rather later than usual. It was dark. and his fair one greeted him somewhat cootly. he thought.
 His doubts. however. disappeared when she suddenly declared that she would take him into her confidence She had overheard the particulars of plot to break into the house and steal the plate.
 Now. Jim slc saiG here's a chance for promotion. The burglars knew where the plate was kept. so we've shifted H. What I want yon to do is to get into the plate cupboard and wait till they come and open the door. Then you'll have 'em"
 Jim jumped nt the chance and half an hour later was concealed In the cupboard. The burglars came. as ex- pected. and promptly got to work.
 The constable chucklcd to himself as he heard the untitled whir of a tool on the outside of the cupboard door. and he grasped his stan and waited.
 After some minutes waiting he re- solved to take cautious peep. But the door was fast. securely screwed on the outside by the burglars.
 When Jim eventually reused the house and was released from his pris- on the burglars and plate, together with the pretty bousemaid Ca confeder- ates had disappeared. Moreover the constitutes position took good deal of explaining away.

they found it was absolutely dry. There fore the party had to go into camp without water. It was found here that the food supplies almost had given out and Europeans and natives alike had to go on half rations.
 Host Not Home; Hunt Goes On
 The party reached the farm on the morning of July l2, but found that Commander Attenborough had gone ov- CT to Naivasha for supplies. Mir. Roos- evelt, however, was not disturbed by this and the scientists soon were busy with their guns collecting birds and mammals.
 The camp was pitched on the lake shore which is densely fringed with payyrus, thorn trees and brush. The camp was sandy and dusty.
 The tents of the white men were set up in row in the pront of the camp, with the horse lines and porters' tents in the rear of them. The porters at noce were set to work building grass shed for the skin drying and they made quick work of it. The shed was con structed of wood and matched with grass.
