WATCHING THE HORSES.
Determined Effort to Stamp Out
Disease of Chambers.

Following the shooting Of thirteen
horses suffering from glanders by OH
cials of the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the Agricultural Department, in an
effort to stamp out the virulent disease
in the District, every precaution Is being
taken to prevent another outbreak in
the stables of the city.
II was announced by DR.. R. Hickman,
of the Bureau of Animal Industry, who
was in charge of the recent epidemic,
that stablemen and horse-owners have
been requested to inform the department
of all suspected cases. and an immediate
Investigation would be made.
DIR. Hickman was of the opinion that
the disease had been practically stamped
out in the section where the thirteen
afflicted horses had been shot, but that
another serious outbreak might occur he
did not deny.
The District has 6l1 horses belonging
to the various fire houses and police sta
tions, and every fireman has been warned
to exercise precaution and report signs
of disorder. DIR. Woodward. District
health oficer. said yesterday that, as a
rule, horse-owners are glad to have
gianderous horses DESTROYED.

COMMISSIONERS DENOUNCED.
Suburban Citizens Criticise Removal
of Supt. James VI. Wood.

Commissioners Johnston and Judson
were assailed at the regular monthly
meeting of the East End Suburban Citi-
zens' Association, held last night in
Van Ness Hall, 1896 n street northeast.
The cause of the attack was the removal
from Office of James NJ. Wood, superin-
tendent of street cleaning. and the bring
ing into that office of a man whom they
claim is not a taxpayer or a resident OF
the District.
At the close of a heated debate on the
resolution denouncing the Commissioners
it was decided to send copy of the
resolution to the President and to the
chairman OF the Senate and House Dis
triCt committees.

WALL STREET NEWS
Prices Slump FractiOnally
Following Dull Day.
TWO NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS
International Harvester and Inter
borough Metropolitan stocks Ad-
vance SharpIy-UnhIIed Steel Or
ders Are Largely in Excess of
Same Period Last Year.

New York, Feb. 10.-To a casual OBJ
served it seemed as if most of the time
to-day transactions in stocks in the Sc
curity market were at unchanged figures.
AS a matter of fact, the extreme range
of to-day's fluctuations in stock prices
in the greater number of instances did
not exceed half a point, and the whole
days business was the most uninteresting
seen in the present month.
The dealings, too, were reduced in
volume. and a partial reason for this
comparatively lethargic condition of af-
fairs was no doubt the fact that after
the close of business tonight there would
be only two hours devoted to stock eX-
change transactions until next Tuesday
morning. Toward the very end Of the
Gay, prices declined a little on sales
OF the sort described. and closed, rather
generally. at trifing declines. Notable
exceptions to this tendency were the
international Harvester and the Inter
borough Metropolitan stocks, both of
which rose sharply.
During the morning it was announced
that the directors of the National Bis
cult Company had declared a quarterly
dividend at the rate of an annual dis
tribution of per cent upon their common
stock
Cotton Again Declines.
The cotton market. which seems to have
passed now into a state of chronic weak
ness. again declined, and wheat and coffee
prices were once more satisfactory. In
the case of grain the possibility that the
, reciprocity treaty with Canada may be-
come effective at the present session of
Congress appears to be something of a
factor.
OF course, the most important incident
of the day was the monthly statement
of the United States Steel Corporation
showing untitled orders on hand of s. no.
919 tons, as against 2674757 tons on De-
cember 81. an increase in tonnage of
E36,l62 tons.
The investment market is showing no
signs of weakness, and the strength of
the bond market to-day and the variety
of dealings therein was the real feature
OF stock exchange business. More than
one large firm in the financial district is
making the daily report that its GUS
toners are interesting themselves more
in bonds than in stocks. In this respect
the market bears a marked contrast to
that of the year preceding, when, after
a fortnight's good business the public
appetite for investment securities ap-
peared to be Saiated and the bond mar
ket slumped into complete inactivity. II
this does not forecast a better stock
market in due course it will be the first
time that such an indication has failed
to prophesy correctly.
AS regards to-morrow's bank statement,
such slight signs as were afforded in
dicated a rather more favorable state
ment, at least for the average figures,
than was shown last week. Bank Off
GERS usually well informed looked for
a considerable increase in the bank sur
plus.

Rev. DIR. Abram Simon. rabbi Of the
Eighth Street Temple of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation. last night at the
temple delivered an address on "Lincolns
Definition Of Honesty" The address took
the place OF the usual Friday sermon,
and was heard by a large congregation.
First TO thine own self be true was
the motto which Dr. Simon thought was
the guiding principle of Lincolns life.
TO win and get ahead he continued,
lis not only a right but a duty, and the
man without the ambition TO attain sue
cess and advance himself belongs to the
position in which he remains That
Abraham Lincoln wished success was
only natural and it would be impossible
to conceive of him without it, but he
would be successful only in the right
way.
Was Bound to Win.
His definition OF success was the best
that I have found in an examination of
500 others of the same word. He said he
was not bound to win, but to be true;
not bound to succeed, but to live up to
the best that was in him; to stand with
any man while he is in the right, and
part with him when he is in the wrong.
'Lincolns success was based on the
three principles of work. merit, and hon
esty. No man can say he did not work
when he started with every handicap
against him, and rose to the position he
| did He merited success because he had
the right on his side and never parted
from it, even though it came TO a matter
OF dying for il: and he was honest. In
| all the criticism of Abraham Lincoln by
! friends and foes, in all the vast con-
; troversics in which he was engaged, and
the literature written about him. not one
word was said against his honesty. And
| he believed honesty was better than
| success"
Standard of Success
| DR.. Simon said a new standard Of sue
cess was being called for in America to-
day, and il could have no higher ideal
than the career of Lincoln. The public
was arising and demanding that men
become successful without the aid of
trickery or deceit. He referred to the
! Lorimer case in the Senate where the
honesty of a member of such an august
body was openly investigated. and de
clared it could have but a bad example
| on the rising generation. He said that
| the final analysis Of the careers OF Pres
! ident Taft and former President Roose-
welt would show that their great claims
! to fame was that they had struck the
chord for personal integrity in achieving
success, and that a better example of
such success could not be found than in
the life OF Lincoln, which was one OF
! honesty. bound together by the cement Of
! personal integrity.

BAND OF REBELS IN
 CITY AFTER HORSES
Claim That Tonan Stole the Steeds While Men Were
 in Hospital

The alleged theft of three cavalry horses from the insurrectos at Agua Prieta by Antonio Tonan continues to agitate the rebel camp. It is al lege1 that Tonan stole the horses with their saddles while a rebel cap tain and two companions were at the Red Cross hospital at Douglas To nan is held by the federal officers on the charGe of smuggling the three horses into this country.
 Four rebels, Captain Said Tabet and Privates Jesus Buelna, Francisco Men doza and Dinderio Gonzales, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon bring ing a letter to Deputy Sheriff VIII White, which they said was from Customs Officer Mason at Douglas, authorizing the release of the horses from the custody of federal officers. Deputy White was not Tn the city, however, being at Tombstone.
 A conference with the United Stat es commissioner brought no relief, as he could not release the cavalry horses. The horses may not be re- leased unless the penalty of S3D per head is paid or the case is dismiss ed by the United States attorney who is at Globe.
 The rebels seemed much agitated and paradei uu one street and down the other. always followed by an al hiring throng of Mexicans.
 The retels are still in Bisbee, se gistered at the Philadelphia hotel
