Pool Active.

Steel common vas taken up around Al
late in February. 1t hardened between
there and 45 and the preferred around
no. both issues gaining strength prepare
tory to the great uplift. The pool &C
cumulated tremendous lines of both the
common and the preferred, although the
Junior issue was made the favorite. The
inside facts of a restoration or peace be-
tween the corporation and the independ-
ents were withheld from the public I'M
til the insiders loaded up with what
they wanted. Then began the great kill
ing of the year. The advance in Steel
common was steady. There was hardly
setback until 947s was reached. That
was in the early part of October last.
Par was the scheduled top, but the price
never got there. Between so and 90 there
occurred very wide distribution, the pub
lie getting the stock and apparently still
holding it.
Comparatively little came out on the re-
action to around 81, and whatever re-
accumulation has taken place since the
big pool protit-taking has been with very
slight advantage to the insiders. There
is apparently a widespread belief that
Steel common is destined for another i'm
portant rise in 1910 and there is small
disposition on the part of the miscella-
neous army of holders to let go. The high
point in Steel preferred was 131. AT 125
on the back track 1T seems to meet with
steady investment absorption.

SCHOOL BOARD
NEEDS AN AUTO

Some members of the Board OF Ed
ucation are discussing the advisia-
bility of purchasing an automobile for
use of the board. A machine could
be used in many ways and save the
board considerable money in car
fare.
President Shortlidge, of the board
said today that some of the members
were seriously discussing the matter
and that it would likely be brought
up IN the near future. He pointed out
that an automobile could be used to
advantageein transporting the super
visors OF sewing, music, repairs, the
superintendent and assistant superin-
tendent from one school to an other
and it could be used in many other
way to the advantage of the school
system.
At present the Board of Education
pays the carfare of all the supervi-
sors but not of the superintendent
and assistant superintendent who pay
their own fare.

tions governing the sale Of meats by

of their places of business have yet

see City Solicitor Brady today and
asked the latter If he was compelled

he did not think il was any more his
duty to do this service than it was for
Health, and added that anybody
could swear out the warrants.
President Beck. OF the Board of
Health, told the Meat Inspector that
despite what the City Solicitor said,
he thought Il was Denney's duty TO
swear out the warrants, and he eX-
pressed 1.-THE opinion that before the
thing was over Denney would be COM
PEELED to execute the orders of the
Board of Health in this respect
Denny replied that If DIR. Beck could
show him that IL was his duty to swear
out the warrants he would gladly do
so. as he did not wish to shirk any Of
his duties.
DR. Beck promised that he would be
able to show the Meat Inspector that
It was up to him to have the warrants
issued. In the meantime no arrests
will be made.

TOMBSTONE ON
MR.RODNEY'S
Touching Epitaph to Baby
Black, Dead a Century,
Shocks Finder
BELIEVE STONE STOLEN
BY A CURIO SEEKER

The police are mystified by a
strange find made on the lawn of
John NJ. c. Rodneys residence. at
the northwest corner of Tenth and
Franklin streets this morning.
William Loveless. caretaker of the
property. was shocked or making a
round of the place to find on the
lawn a headstone. II had evidently
been taken from a cemetery during
the night and left on the lawn of Mr..
Rodney's home.
On the stone is the following in
scription
I'm Memory of Ann Black, daughter
of Rebecca James and Rebecca Black,
who departed this life, August %,
1892, aged years, eight months and
three days
Under this inscription is the fol-
lowing stanza:
My days We're few,
My troubles less
Excuse my haste
To happiness.
The police are unable to account
for the appearance of the stone at Mr..
Rodneys home. The opinion is adj
vanced, however, that some person
may have taken it from a cemetery as
a curio because of its age, and fear
ing to be caught with it at the ap-
proach of some belated wayfarer,
threw it in the grass on Mr.. Rodney's
lawn

deed the bed of the lane or sereet to
the city if the tract is taken by the
