Tt wasn't the size of the purse then real champ would fight a man for glory or to settle an election bet or for a pair of red suspenders, or because his folks were suspected of being Presbyterians from the north of Ireland, or just for the main reason that fighting was his busi- ness anyhow and he hated to miss whole day away from work.

getting almost unanimous approval of the petition to extend the Lincoln holiday over Saturday. Business has been shock ingly dull and nobody would be the loser by an additional day of rest.
 The bulk of the business done by com mission houses of late has been the exc eution of buying orders for public ac- count and presumably also for account of the large interests in the street It is certain that the reaction after the heavy December liquidation and profit taking fell far short of expectation, and that insiders were obliged to make their re- appearance at an earlier date than they had counted on. In no other way could they be sure of retracing their specula- tive lines and they did not want to get left The accumulation of stocks has been going on steadily and at the present time there Is a smaller floating supply within stock exchange reach than at any time in months
 The absence of MT Hartman from New 4ork does not seem to be affecting the Hartman stocks to any extent MT liar riman gives no indication of how long he intends to remain away but he Is ev- identity somewhat worried over the con dition of his health and will do what he can for restoration before resuming his seat in the saddle.

Bad Breath and
 Sour Stomach
Stopped at Once With Pure Willow Charcoal, the Greatest Gas
 AbSorber Known

There is no necessity to suffer the humiliation, chagrin and discomfort of bad breath, biliousness, sour stomach gastritis, sluggish liver, etc.. when little lozenge of charcoal will cleanse the stomach and make 1t pure and sweet.

 Charcoal will absorb one hundred times its own volume in gas. box full of charcoal placed in bed room will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet.
 A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on the tongue after meals will also keep the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal is justly called the scrubbing brush for the stomach. The old monks of medic val times cured bad cases of stomach trouble. cast out devils from the sys- tenn of man by feeding such a man charcoal
 Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of 1t cannot harm one. The system craves 1t just like an animal needs and craves salt every so often. Charcoal goes into the stomach gently and Is welcome, 1t settles down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas, aiding digestion and giving tone to the juices so that when the food goes into the intestines. and there meets other digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from pure willow. They are prepared fragrant by the use of honey and sweetened so they please the taste and are easily dissolved.
 They have an enormous sale thus stamping them with the approval of the public. Every druggist sells them, 20 cents per box. Go to your druggist today and buy a box; then after your next meal take two or three of them. and judge for yourself of their merit.
 Several taken at bed time will prove to you in the morning that they have been at work all night. for your bad breath will not be so bad after all.

 The thrift of the street railway employe is easily explained Practically all these young men come direct from the country, where they have been schooled in econ- omy. They have never had very much money to spend and practically no in- ducement for extrav3gance. Their tastes arc simple and easily satisfied They love the comforts of home, and paying board or rent fills them with horror.
 His first ambition, when he begins to figure on a re%lilar pay roll, is to save enough money to buy a home and enjoy the comforts of family life.
 For the first few years in the city he lives hard and works long hours. This helps to keep him out of mischief. All this time he Is being educated in the ways of the world. He has a most excellent opportunity to view the extrayagance of others. He is thrown in daily contact with all classes of people, high and low, and. like a mental sponge, he Absorbs everything he sees and hears. His pacity for absorption is wonderful and in few years he has an experience and m insight into human nature that no city-bred man can ever attain.
 Along with this practical education he has learned the folly of extravaGance and the emptiness of high living arG the re- suit is a well-rounded man of marvellous judgment and marked sobriety of intel feet. He has never deviated from his one purpose to own a home and become . good citizen. He has carefully saved

 Capital punishment has been restored in France at the demand of the public Never formally abolished by law 1t had gradually fallen into disuse. and the com mutation of death sentences had become a sort of vested privilege" for criminals. But just as parliament was discussing a bill to do away with capital punish ment as a legal possibility series of particularly atrocious murders shocked and terrified the country. and Juries felt 1t to be their duty to protest in advance against the expected communications by the president of the republic. The bill died and instead a resolution was adopt ed in favor of reviving the extreme pen alty.
 If, however, the use of the guillotine is to be attended by such demoralizing and brutalizing scenes as, according to the dispatches, marked the execution of the bandits at Bethune, the revival 1t is safe to say. win not be lasting. It is more dangerous to society to have exc cutions converted into local orgies, with wild mobs yelling and dancing exulting- ly," than 1t is to forego the additional increment of social security which cap ital punishment may afford. French his tory unfortunately contains an abundance of proof as to the barbarizing effect of the guillotine as public spectacle. En- lightened public sentiment will not toler- ate many repetitions of the Bethune 'fes- tival." This is the more likely as the French and Italian criminologists have by no means changed their scientific" attitude on the question Italy's attorney general has recently written in defense of the abolition of capital punishment and cited the experience of his own coun- try. Crime, he says is decreasing even in districts for ages associated with vio- lence and insecurity, although no death sentence has been carried out since the time of King Humbert The majority for the capital punishment in the French chamber Is not overwhelming even now,

NICHOLAS WALL
 STREET LETTER Prices Are Gradually Creeping
 Upward A REVIVAL Is EXPECTED Though There Appears Nothing on the Surface to Justify Stiffening of Stock, It Is Believed Trend
 Is for Better Times.
By w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, February 3.-(Special) Jon the theory that the stock market dis counts future events with unerring cer- tainty, special significance should attach to the course of prices lately. There has been steady creeping up of prices throughout the general list. There is nothing in the general business situation as it stands at present to justify any such stock market action. There has not been a time since the panic, Is months ago, that actual existing physical condi- tions have appeared to worse advantage on the surface than now. Yet, in spite of this the stock market has continued firm for several weeks, resisting every and all bear assaults and more than hold ing it's own. This to the ordinary ob- server has been a most unaccountable market phenomenon.
 One of the features of the market which has beens only dimly understood by the general run of spectators has been the steady demand from the great semi-investing class, the class with money and the courage to buy outright or fortify marginal purchases with big deposits The rule these days is 15 to 30 per cent margins on speculative purchases instead of the old time to 10 per cent. There has grown up an educated public

THE ENDING ADMINISTRATION
Thousands Call at the White House to Say Farewell to President Roosevelt--Noth- ing Like It Seen In the Executive Mansion.

Washington, D. C., March 3.-The most freakish weather in Washington for a number of years developed dur ing the day. This afternoon, follow ing hours of mist and drizzle, the lowering clouds darkened the city and lights began gleaming in the down. town districts
 Men who have been fifty years about the White House have no recollection of scenes such as were witnessed there today in the closing hours of President Roosevelt's administration. It was unprecedented in many ways. but chiefly in the hundreds of persons who called to exchange farewell words with the retiring chief executive. It is estimated that between 10 a. m. and D. m. he received 2,500 visitors The president stood the test with hardihood and joyousness. During all this time. he stopped at intervals to sign bills or to attach his name to photographs.
 The president signed the District of Columbia, the Qualifications, and the army and navy appropriation bills. The latter bill contained the provision designed to restore the marines to the ships of the navy. from which they were taken by order of President Roosevelt
 Every cabinet officer in the city went to the White House during the day with the heads of bureaus and principals of departments.

The Bailey resolution de- lining the right of the senate to demand papers and information from heads of departments was re- ferred to the judiciary committee, after an animated debate on the subject during which Senators Dol liver and Beveridge made a vigorous defense of the president.

The conferees eliminated all the salary increases in dispute except that of the salary of the president which was fixed at $75,000. At 6:30 the senate recess ed until S:30 pm.

FAIRBANKS HONORED.
A Notable Demonstration in the Sem

Washington, March 3-Behind closed doors the senate today paid Vice President Fairbanks one Of the most remarkable tributes ever given to a presiding officer. He was pre- sented with a magnificent silver ser vice costing s11S5, as a gift of the entire body of senators. and with 2 loving cup as the present of the democratic members. The presenta
 tion was made by Senator McCumber, who spoke of the vice presidents ability and his devotion to his work.
 Senator Daniel spoke for the min- ority, dilating upon Fairbanks uni form fairness. He suggested that if at any time Fairbanks should tire of the monotonous service in the re-
 publican party the democrats would be glad to welcome him. He sug- gested that it would not be well for Fairbanks to take more than one draught from the flagon before break fast if he should happen to get it filled with other than buttermilk
 Fairbanks exhibited deep feeling in his reply Then virtually the whole senate surrounded tbS. rostrum and all shook hands with MT. Fairbanks

A STATEHOOD VOTE
Forced as Amendment to Resolution Concerning Russia and Ameri-
 can Jews.

Washington, D. c, March 3.-Not- withstanding the failure of the senate committee on territories to report the bill granting statehood to Arizona and New Mexico. the supporters of that measure forced a vote in the senate to- day on the proposition. The Oppor- tunity came in connection with the house resolution directing the secretary of state to renew negotiations with Russia looking to a treaty that would prohibit discrimination against Ameri- can Jews in Russia. Senator Cullom called up the resolution, but before 1t could be voted upon Senator Owen proposed the statehood bill as an amendment. Without debate a vote was taken on a motion to lay on the table and it carried 47 to 35. The res olution regarding the course of Russia toward the Jews was then adopted.
