ii is claimed that the Eallnses are
disappearing as a feature Of the ap-
parel. They are not artistic, and GER
taihly not aristocratic; that Is what is
claimed. The idea Is that II a trousers
is properly cut and fitted 1t sets SO
neatly on the hips that It needs no
support, and therefore the presence Of
suspenders indicates that the mans
apparel Is the work Of a cheap tailor,
which Is certainly not aristocratic.
II suspenders are to go. there is a
better reason than this, and that is in
the trick Of the trade that leaves a
weak point in the suspenders-a place
that Is always breaking and annoying
the wearer until his patience is gone.
Then he gets a belt and goes without
suspenders, out OF pure disgust. He
would rather hitch up his trousers
than tie up his ~galluses.
But this article Of apparel is not dis.
appearing-not as long as ready-made
clothing is the JOY Of most men. The
suspenders necessarily go with this
habit. since the kidlike adjustment
about the hips is impossible.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old.
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn. and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell of, and the sores were over
the entire body. causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when I removed his
shirt,
I'VE tried q great many remedies.
but nothing would help him. till q
friend induced me to- try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving. and In six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Rem.
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

New York Stock Market.

Wall St. New York Nov 27-STOCKS=
An increase of speculative interests
characterizing the beginning of the week
in the stock market and with a larger
demand for the long account prices were
forced up geenrally. The market showed
some signs Of wavering to the effects
of profit taking when the advance was
well under way but soon demonstrated its
underlying strength by higher prpices in
the London market and more cheerful
sentiment abroad influenced trading
favorably. Purchases by Amalgamated
Copper Of other property helped the Cop
per group.
The market advanced again in a more
moderate fashion after the reaction.
United States Steel assumed the leader
ship of the list and touched 657s; much of
the buying of this stock was based on
reputed better conditions in the trade
aside from the usual speculative opera
tons in the shares. st. Paul rallied from
109s4 to 111s4 as soon as the pressure
ceased. The Hartman group and Lehigh
Valley failed to get back to their high
prices of the first hour but the general
tone of the market was steady and there
was a constant diversion of speculative
interest in new quarters
Bonds were firm.
Substantial gains were made in every
quarter of the market at the opening to
day in response to a spirited buying move
ment. The buying was largely concen-
trated in the more active speculative is
Sues all of which were traded in to
large extent. Union Pacific showed the
best gain, advancing Us. The Copper

cific St. Paul, United States Steel and
Reading rose a point and almost all of
the other standard issues substantial
fractions.
Stocks were absorbed with a great deal
of confidence, the rising of the higher
priced railroad stocks encouraging pools
to get TO work in other properties.
American Tobacco preferred rose 2as to
1902 and there was a rise on the curb of
p points to 511 in the common stock. Most
of the represen tative stocks were up d
point or more. Heavy realizing and Il
display of weakness by Lehigh Valley
caused a decided reaction all around. The
list hardened again before IL o'clock and
trading became quieter.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Leaving Mime

here are at odds as to the line of sue
cession of the remaining teams OF the

in the effort to place Wisconsin and

Raiders was not fully settled by the

Cardinal followers. This is Chicago
