A colorcd woman, native Of the
south, had been working for a fiat
dwelling family of moderate means In
the East end. but resigned recent,
to accept a place bringing higher
wages with a wealthy family who
lived in a large house on Euclid
heights and have their dinner served
in courses every night just as If there
was company.
This Colored woman had been
brought up to put everything on the
table at once, with the exception pos.
sibly of the dessert. and did not take
kindly to the course system.
A few days ago her former mis-.
tress met her on the street and in.
quired how she liked her new place

A curse was mingled with Neil's

came to- a slime covered bit of water
on which was floating a dugout ca.

anxiety in NathanIcl's face as he
climbed into 1t. At that moment he
was willing to fight a hundred men
for Marion's sake, but snakes and boys
and bloodhounds were entirely outside
his pale of argument and he exhibited
no hesitation in b%etraying this fact to

Strong Bear Market Con-
tinues- to Prevail.
Promise Of Gold Import Is
Sustaining Influence.
Bank Statement precIudes Anxiety
Over Fall Demands.

New York, July 1.-THE action of
the stock market last week indicated
the arrival of the speculation at a
stage of profit taking and of review of
past progress. Profits for six months
past have been on the side of the bears
and the process Of realizing, therefore,
involved some buying of stocks to COW
er shorts. This buying went on in
the presence of some of the unfavor-
able factors in the situation which had
been foreseen in the previous short
sales. 1t was prompted partly by the
kperception of the subsistence of the
sales of stocks from real holders which
must be relied on to justify a position
on the short side and partly by the
perception Of the extent to which the
short interest had grown and the cor
responding increase in the hazard of
an uncovered position.
The anxiety of the uncovered short
interest was manifest particularly in
the resistance shown by the market to
factors of position depression and
which were of sudden and unexpected
development. Such was the false re-
port put in circulation of an official
statement attributed to the German
foreign office. couched in irritating
terms for the United States govern
ment.
The course of the international, ex-
changes and the promise of a large
import movement of gold were import
ant sustaining influences in the i'm
proved financial feeling. The fragmen-
tary returns to the controller of the
currency under the lately issued call.
have not yet disclosed conclusively the
change in condition on June 80 from
that of the previous returns in March.
The expectation remains general that
bank loans are still sufficiently i'm
mobile to promise a considerable tight
ening of the fall money markets. The
slowing down of trade and business
and even the diminution of the har-
vests are advanced as indirect causes
for satisfaction in face of this banking
position.
The Saturday bank statement of the
New York banks disclosed the actual
surplus reserve at the extraordinary
figure of $33.49O,355. Such figure
precludes serious anxiety over the fall
demands op the New York money
market.

HalIOWeIl Five.

The Insane Hospital team won its sew
enth straight game of the season Satur-
ley afternoon by defeating team rep
resenting Johnson Bros. shoe shop of
Halowell by the score of Is to S.
The game was fine one until the sixth
inning being to i'm favor of the visit
ors, but after that Hallowell couldn't
score against the mastery pitching of
Langston. He struck out IA, and al
hough little wild at times, but five hits
were made off bis delivery. He also got
three hits out Of four times at bat and
was robbed of his fourth by the outfield-
r. playing out of position.
These games are attracting lots of fans
from the city and nearly 500 saw the
game here Saturday. Beane pitched Il
good game until the sixth, when six hit d;
for total of ~ bags drove him from the
box in favor of Braley, but the hospital
boys showed the effects of their batting
practice of the past week and he, too.
was hit hay at times.
Special mention should be made of the
batting of Langston, Fitzgerald. Corbin.
Fuller and Kenney of the hospital team
and the all-around playing of Towle of
Hallowel. He was nearly perfect in
throwing to bases and his hit in the
fourth was a hard line drive good for
two bases, but he was called out for cUt-
ting first base.
Next Saturday the Edwards play at tn"
Hospital street grounds, and as they werr
defeated in 10-inning game the last
time here a hot game is expected TIL,
