stop-Loss Orders Are Caught.

down. so that these protected accounts
were liQuidated.
Accompanying the midday dealings
were positive reports that Mr.. Hartman
was dead. and Wall street jumped to the
conclusion that the market was engaged
in finally discounting this expected event.
1t may be that the Illness of Mr.. Harri-
man and the prospect that, whether or
not 1t would be soon terminated by death.
his active career was almost certainly
over. were the chief factors in the course
OF prices during the last few days, but
it is probable that what the stock mar
ket reflected were considerations growing
out of these matters.
In some very discerning quarters in
the financial community much concern
was manifested yesterday over the state
ment. apparently authentic, attributed to

he was abroad this summer some enc

a disposition to construe this as signify

interests. but the truth seems to be that
the statement was too melodramatic

Davy Ryan, the Fighting Black smith,, had the best of the go with Francique Valome. of Waterbury, be- fore the members of the Independent A. c. of Fairfield, at Perry's hall, last evening. The bout went the limit ten rounds, but it is the belief of those at the ringsfde that if 1t had gone one more round Ryan would have produced the silencer. Ryan had the better of the go from the start, leading his man all through but could not seem to land the haymaker.
 The next best bout of the evening was between Kid" Fabryckf of South port and Joe Marks of New Haven Their bout also went the limit. eight rounds, and was declared a draw.
 For the prelim Jack Clarity of this city and Young Packy'' of Portehes- ter, N. Y., mixed it up for six rounds. Garrity was the best man all through, and in the last round the referee stop ped the battle, fearing that the local lad would send in the result pro ducer.

 CASE IF ECZEMA
Summer Rash Became Dreadful Itching Humor-Big Blisters Formed and Skin Grew as Hard and Rough as Bark Scratched and Tore Flesh till Blood Ran.
ALMOST MAGIC CURE

"Our son, two years old, was very much afflicted with a breaking out or what looked to be a summer rash. l applied the usual remedies, such as washing with soda water and powdering with boric acid. Finally, after he suf
 fered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor. He said it was merely a rash that was quite prevalent, and that I was giving the right treat ment and that I should just continue it and the baby would soon be all right. ting worse. The rash ran together and made large blisters. The little fellow didn't want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep him from it as he would tear the flesh open till the blood would run. The itching was intense, causing loss of appe- tite and flesh. When it seemed to hurt him most the skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree so that rubbing or brushing would not break it. He was so feverish that I thought it bad case of eczema. He could not wear any clothes but little at the top of the shoulder. He suffered intensely for about three months. But I found remedy in Cuticura Soap for bathing and Cuticura Ointment with which I anointed the sore places. This kept the rash from spreading and in less than week the result was almost magi- cal. That was more than two years ago and there has not been the slightest symptom of it since he was cured. am never very long without Cuticura Soap as my family knows the value of it and don't like substitute.

The Sc. Otter.

The sea otter combines the habits of a seal with the intelligence and amus- ing character of the otter. When met in herds far out at sea, which is but seldom now. they are commonly seen swimming on their backs. They even eat their food lying in this position on the water. and nurse their young ones on their chests between their paws, ex- actly as a south sea island mother swims with her baby in the water. When swimming in this attitude they even shade their eyes with their paws when the sun dazzies them.
