Youngster Had Grit

From the New York World.
Without telling his mother that he had
wounded his shoulder with his new rife,
Alfred Tessier, 10 years old, who lives in
Petersville, set off on three-mile tramp
to New Rochelle hospital the other after
noon On the road he met his father who
asked:
"Where are you going. Alfred?
ooh, to the village to get something
/ need" answered the boy.
His father suspected nothing, and AL
fred went to the hospital, where his
wound was dressed He appeared at the
table in good time for supper Then his
parents noticed that 1ae could not use his
left arm and their inquiries brought out
the story. f ''
Tho boy had gone into the woods near
his home to hunt chipmunks. The trig-
ger OF his rife caught on vine and a
bullet made flesh wound In his left
shoulder The boy bound up his wound
with his handkerchief, went home and
left his rife, and then sought the hos
pital.

Hubbard Bros. & Coz. Letter

New York. November 19.-(Special)-
Today the fluctuations of a small ses-
sion reflect the desire on the part of the
trade to be without any interest over the
publication Of the government ginners'
report on Monday. During the first hour
small short interest covered and then
the hedge selling by spot houses. together
with long selling on the very heavy in
terror receipts, brought the market slow
ly to about last evenings prices. Moth
ing could represent the uncertain atti-
tude of the trade in face OF heavy re-
ceipts and low crop estimates better than
the record of today's market. The ma
jority of crop estimates are such that
the trade has become bullish, the receipts
have become heavy and there is a lack
of positive conviction as to the future
course OF prices except among very
few persons, whose Ideas of the crop are
as wide apart as the poles.

to go out of business.
Mr.. Carlin denounced the act as the
last step toward Capitalization of au

MAY NOT REPORT ANY PLAN
Chamber Committee of Fifteen Will
Take Up Report To-day.
Suggestion Made that Annual Base.
ball Game BE Played by Mines
from Directories.

The committee Of fifteen Of the Cham
Der of Commerce will hold a meeting this
afternoon to consider its report 10 be
made 10 the Chamber at its next meeting
relative TO a plan to get an expression
of public opinion in Washington upon
questions affecting the local government.
The committee has held several meetings,
one a general conference with the repre-
sentatives of citizens associations. A
great variety Of ways and means TO
reach the result has been suggested. but
10 nearly all Of them some objection has
been made which seems to make them
impracticable.
The plan which has been most dis
cussed is the formation Of central body
OF citizens. composed of representatives
Of citizens associations and civic and
trade bodies. TO be called together as oc-
casion may require to pass upon public
questions. 1t is understood that the
members Of the Chamber serving on the
committee are opposed to this plan, and
it seems probable that they will not vote
to report it to the Chamber. and outside
OF this plan 1t is doubtful whether any
other has met with sufficient unanimity
of approval to warrant the committee in
reporting upon 1t.
1t is understood that a suggestion has
been made, which meets with a good
degree Of favor. that a baseball game
shall be played between the Board Of
Trade and the Chamber between mines
picked from the boards of directors OF
the two bodies. 1t has been found i'm
possible for the professional teams Of
the two organizations TO get together on
any reasonable basis for a game, and
that game has been reluctantly aban-
doned. In lieu of It, many think such
a game as that proposed between the
mines OF the directors would afford much
amusement and draw just as big crowd
to the bali park as the one of last year
and the previous year.
