NAVAL RED TAPE.
The Result of Having Neither coffins
Nor Graves In Stock.

The Result of Having Neither cofsins
Nor Graves In Stock.
A case once occurred. which Is
vouchsafed for by naval officers who
were present and who tell of 1t as a
Joke. showing the absurdities to which
red tape can 60 About twenty years
ago a certain ship was In a foreign
port. One of the men was taken sick
and on the recommendation of the sur
geon was sent to a hospital on shore.
The man finally died, and 1t became
necessary to bury him.
TIE simple and straightforward
method would have been to call In an
undertaken and have him arrange for
a decent casket and lot In the Gem
etery This would be the usual proce-
dure with a business man or ordinary
citizen. The regime Of economy and
reform, however. would not permit Of
90 simple course. What actually o.
CURED was this:
The surgeon made a requisition on
the paymaster for one coffin. Natu'
rally he did not have one in stock and
therefore 1t was forwared to the fleet
paymaster. who also, not being In the
undertaking business. had no collins
Oh hand. Then the admiral directed
the feet paymaster to purchase one
coffin after obtaining prices from six
reputable dealers The same course
had to be followed in securing the
grave. The surgeon made requisition
on the paymaster for one grave
Strange as it may seem, the paymas-
ter had no graves in stock. Neither
had the fleet paymaster Consequently
the commander In chief directed the
neet paymaster to procure bids from
six reliable dealers in graves and pur.
chase one from the lowest responsible
bidder
All this, of course is screaming
farce, but 1t is the horrible example
to show what comes when common
sense and experience are set aside TO
give room for the play Of amateur and
academic fancy.-Engineering.

WATCHES GREW TIRED.
lTid.Rits. J

Il suppose" said the matchmaker to
friend who had just handed him
his watch for repairs, you do not
know that watches, like human be-
ings, sometimes don't go for the
very reason that they are tired out
and need resting"
Some times a watch is brought to
me which is all right. Nothing about
it is out of order, and 1t is fairy
clean. When they become sulky and
refuse to run, except by fits and
starts. the best thing to do is to lay
them aside for a good rest. The
mechanism in a tired watch seems
to be in perfect condition, but It Just
won't work. The fact Is that long
and faithful service has thrown It
slightly out of adjustment in perhaps
a dozen different places. Scraping
and cleaning and readjusting fine
watch are the worst things that could
be done to It. A months rest will,
instead cause the works to slowly re-
adjust themselves, and at the end OF
that time, after careful oiling, the
watch will go as cheerfully as ever"

Market Reports
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, April l,-Price movement in
the stock market developed mixed ten
dency today, gains and losses showing
irregularly during the progress of most
of the trading. This mixed movement did
not. however, obscure the absorptive pow
er Of the market in the last few days.
The high level at which prices were start
ed today added TO the sharp advances
scored yesterday and combined with the
material broadening of the participation
from miscellaneous outsiders to SO ad-
vantageous opportunity to convert paper
pro fits into cash that it was taken advan-
Iage of on a very large scale by previous
purchases.
The professional element on the floor Of
the Stock Exchange on detecting evidence
Of this realizing added to the weight OF
extensive short sales and worked Tor d
reaction by offering prices AT concessions.
IT was In the face of these adverse con-
dtions that the market demonstrated
most strikingly its resisting power. Pres
suie 10 realize was lessened as prices re-
coded and protective measures We're
adopted by pushing prices upwards az
This aggressive show Of strength intii!i-
dated the bears and induced them to re-
verse their operations, buying 10 cover
the shorts put out earlier and in some,
eases turning to the long sid" OF the mar
ket.
The action of the market in the last few
days had its effect in bringing in some
increase OF buying orders at the outset
but the concentrated character OF the
dealings and the concerted operations Tor
the advance gave evidence of an organ
lied speculative party AT WORK IN tlh-
market The basis FOR the movement con
tiUued 70 b.. The. conviction that the bot
tom OF the business depression mad been
touched and that Improvement is to lol,
low. Some of the days news confirmed
the views of an upward trend of business.
The action OF. United States Steel in the
later market in its aggressive advance
through enormous sales mad" at - to Il
top price Of II was of material sentl-
mental effect on the whole market.
News from W asiinston Of formidable
opposition forming to some of the pro-
posed tariff reductions seemed to be ac-
cepted with equanilnitv if not with salts
faction. February earnings reports OF
railroads are regarded as satisfactory
evidence of improving traffic conditions.
Enc ouraging reports Of the condition of
the winter wheat crop made Il substantial
asis for much of the hopefulneSS over
business prospects.
The market was strongest and most &C
tive at the close OF the day.
Bonds We're firm. Total sales par value,
&C. 10000 United States bonds We're mn
