OBITUARY.

After o long and painful illness,
KATIE W. JOINS, beloved wife OF
John s. Jones, departed this life,
June q, 1910. Through all her suf-
ferings she was never known once
TO complain bus sustained and
soothed by an unfaltering trust,
she approached the grave like one
that draws the drapery of her couch
about her and lies down to pleasant
dreams
How much the heart may bear and yet moi
How much the nssh may suffer and no,
Iquesfion much II Thy pain or ache,
Ofsoui or body bring your end more nigh
Death chooses hin own time.
TIL that N won
AIN things may b borne.
We wind our life about encther's life,
We hold 70 closer, dearee than our own,
Anow tt paints and falls In deadly strife.
Leaving M saa and stricken and alone
But on, We CO no5die with those we mourn,
This also can be borne.
By her daughter, n. J. II.

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

More than ordinary interest centered
in the meeting Of the local stock exchange
yesterday. and a goodly number of v!si-
tors gathered outside the rail to watch
operations. II was supposed, and had
been talked about the street, that proba-
bly, the long expected boom in gas stock
would begin. following the favorable ac-
ton Of the House District Committee in
reporting the bill TO the House providing
for a plan TO rearrange the finances Of
the company
But either some anxiety regarding the
possible danger TO be apprehended by the
swishing OF the tail of Halley's comet
past the earth next Wednesday night. or
because brokers realize that II is a long
way from a favorable report by the Dis
trict Committee TO fun authority in law.
nothing was done. The price Of gas stock
did not soar. neither did the bonds, and
the trading was as quiet as on a sitting
afternoon in dog days.
Gas As sold at the old price Of 10. ana
two shares OF the stock sold at 72H,
which, though a fancy price, was not
sufficiently large to indicate much of a
rise
Washington Railway preferred sold
around 9li2 and the common at 37l5.
Since the first of this year Western
Maryland's earnings have shown large
Increases. From January l TO February
2S the company reported gross earnings
Of N,l0Oc00, representing an increase over
the corresponding months Of last year of
