REACTION BRINGS A CHANGE.
Evidences of Liquidation of Long
Stocks in Anticipation of Rulings.

New York, Feb. 1S.-A sharp reac-
ton on Thursday, following several
weeks of steady enhancement of
values. wrought a change in the as
pect of the weeks stock market. There
were evidences of liquidation of long
stocks in anticipation of possible SUI
prene court decisions in antitrust
cases on Monday.
Announcement of a change in con-
troll of Missouri Pacific, with prophe-
cies of the ultimate retirement of the
Goulds from active management of all
the railroads which have long borne
their name, was the important de-
velopment of the week. Semi-o official
statements of plans for thorough re-
Mobilization of the property strength
ened the stock despite the fact that
dividends seemed far in the future.
Reduction of the British official rate
of discount was a favorable develop
ment of the week, although it was
without noticeable effect on the stock
market since the change had been
expected generally.

TEA OF DULLER HUE.
The Bright Green Kind VIII Be
Barred May 4.

New York, Feb. 1S-.Popular bran brands sar Of
low priced teas will don motley garp
after MAY l, according to wholesalers
and importers here. After that date, ac-
cording to government direction, no more
eartificiaIly colored teas can be imported
and as a result many of the teas which
have appeared in beautiful green shades
for one hundred years or more, viii come
in hereafter in hues of brown, yellow and
green.
According to a statement from the Inn
porters' association, the trade all over
the country is unanimous in approving
these new regulations. Green teas Will
still be green. but the color will be more
natural. The artificial coloring hereto
fore used by the Chinese to emphasize the
grenness of their product and to impart
a uniform color and gloss to the leaves,
a harmless dye, will be eliminated.
1.-The general public here knows very
little about tea. America is not a great
tea drinking nation. The per capita COIL
sumption is only one pound a year.
whereas in Canada it is six pounds and in
Great Britain nearly seven. Tea is popu-
lar all over Europe because of its
economy. A so cent pound of tea will
provide at least $50 cups of generous
strength, while % cent pound of coffee,
the American beverage, is good for not
more than 30 cups"

HE WROTE THE WOOL SCHEDULE
ShalIeton, Who Helped Frame Nc
Kinley Bill, Is Dead.

Newark, N J., Feb 1S.-James
Shakleton, a retired wool expert, who
is said to have framed the wooden
schedule for the Mckinley tariff act,
is dead at his home in Millburn, N. J.
He was burned to death in his bed
room following the explosion of a
student lamp by the light of which he
was accustomed to read far into the
night.
Shakleton, who was well-to-do,
lived practically the life of a hermit.
Scientific poultry raising was his fad
and he was writing his third book on
this subject at the time of his death.
He was born in London and began
life as a newspaper reporter He had
a national reputation as an authority
on woolens.

POSTAL QUIZ SOON.
Preliminary to Inquiry. Critics Want
BristOw ON Committee.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-A congress
sional investigation of conditions in
the postoffice department is planned
for the near future, provided there is
not rapid improvement and a reduc-
ton of the volume of complaint from
business interests and employees of the
department
Preliminary to such an inquiry
critics of the department conditions
are making effort to have Senator j.
L. Bristow of Kansas put on the sen
ate committee on postoffices and post
roads.
The Kansas senator was fourth
assistant postmaster general from
1897 to 1907. and it is recalled that
his investigation of political influences
and their effects on the postoffice de-
partment ended in a repOrt that was
one of the sensations Of the Mckin-
ley and Roosevelt administrations.
When he came to the senate it was
understood that Mr.. Brfstow would be
glad to serve on the postal committee,
but at that time the ancient regime
was in complete control, and his
chance of getting on such commit
tee was about as good as his prospect
of being canonized. Mr. Bristow. how
ever, has not lost interest in postal af
fairs, and with the late shift in sena-
torial membership the insurgents and
Democrats think they will have influ-
ence enough. after March A. when
committees are to be reorganized, to
make this shift.
One suggestion is that Senator
Bourne may be willing to give up his
place on the postal COMMITTEES in favor
of Mr.. Bristow. if this be necessary;
but this is unlikely as four of the Re
publicanS now on the committee
Scott, Burrows, Carter ard Dick-wiIl
not be senators next congress, ard
there already is one vacancy on the
Republican and another on the Demo-
cratic side. In all probability, there
fore, Mr. Bristow. who has a power

AT THE GRAND.
Johnny Writes His Folks About the
Howe Pictures.
Dear Ma and Pa:

Dear Ma and Pa:
Last mite 1 went with cusin Gorge
to see the moving picshures at the
opery house which is called the
Grand and is bigger than even the
new Methodist church at home.
Inside there are seats which are fin
er than the horse hair sofy in our par
lor which Jane and her Doe sits on
Sunday mites.
like at the magic lantern show which
the Ladies' Aid society gave for the
benefit of the hethens in Africa at
home, but these picshures had peepul
in them who moved just like they
were alive. 1 thot they talked too, but
cusin Gorge sed some one behind the
curtin talked for them and made
noises to represent other sounds
One of the first picshures was people
coasting in bobsleds in Switzerland.
They came down the hill like liten-
ing and you Good here them go 'sWi-
ish" which was done by some one be-
hind the curtain as I sed wunst be-
fore
Another pfcshure was where SOL
diers had horses trained to lie down
and they got up again as quick as any
thing.
And another picshure was of bears,
and. lions listening to music in cages
which must have been at a circus.
Pretty soon man at the pianner be-
gan playing Rocked in the Cradle of
the Deep which James Doe tries to
sing, and then there was picshure
of the oshun. The waves they came
piling up and piling up and then
fell SO real like that l jumped out of
my seat. But gee, you out to have
seen that runaway train a cutting
down the mountain. 1t began slow
and kept going faster through the
prettiest kind of mountin scenerey and
kept going faster until it made you
dizzy to look, and then there was a big
boom and a flash of light which
showed the engine had busted.
There was funny picshures too,
where a man on a bicycle with a box
on front, kept knocking down every
thing. And, gee, there was one where
a little Teller about as big as my aunt
Mary's cousin four-year-old boy who
had a prize fight in sweter with a
grown man. And he knocked that
man around something fierce like.
The man sat down on the floor so that
his he'd wouldn't be above the kids.
Another picshure showed peepul
praying in a CRATE big church which
cusin Gorge sed was in India. And
the man at the pianner he played so
soIum like that I almost thot 1 was in
church, too.
The last picshure was the best 1t
showed crate big guns, even bigger
says he killed a thousand rebs with.
The guns in the pfcshure were shoot
ing at piece of iron as big as the
side of Browns barn and every time
they shot that iron was knocked to
smithereens.
Hoping you are the same I am as
ever. JOHNNY.

OATS IN LIVING COST.
Develops Equine Food of Cocoanuts
and Peanuts.


Washington, Feb. 1S-A new angle of
the high cost of living problem has come
70 Hght- 1t is the increased cost of grain
for horse feed and as a substitute for
oats, the bureau of animal industry has
developed a sort of equine breakfast food
composed OF cocoanut and peanut meals.
A bulletin just issued by the depart
ment of agriculture describes the results
obtained by trying the mixture on the
dog, in this case ten Morgan yearlings
and four work horses on the bureaus
horse farm near Middlebury, Vermont.
That the dog was not altogether edited
by the experiment is intimated in the
statement of the bulletin that none of
the horses took to the cocoanut and pea
nut ration eagerly and the work horse
team so fed was off feed during the first
three weeks
At the conclusion of the test, however,
all the horses were reported in good con-
dition.
The saving in cost was $3.50 per ton
of mixture, or the difference between
S43.75. the cost per ton of whole oats,
and s2S, the price paid per ton for the
nut meal mixture.
