Railroad Conductor Whose Fifty Ysar
Record Is Perfect.
A remarkable personal record ia rail-
reading has just been completed by
William r. Wherry. Pennsylvania
railroad passenger conductor. who was
retired recently at the age of sixty
seven after fifty years of active service
Mr.. Wherry was born in Cambria
county. Pa, on March %, 1845, and
when seventeen years old was en-
ployed by the. Pennsylvania Railroad
company as freight brakeman.
The record of this passenger con-
ductor is given in a unique way in
letter written by him to his superin-
tendent. He stated:
Il have now been running a passen-
ger trains for almost forty-six years
and in that time have never had seri-

The election of Bading has not dis
couraged the Socialists. as they had
realized that victory was well nigh i'm

parties.
The effort to get out big vote this
year was shown by the fact that some
10000 more votes were cast than at the

Of Edwin A. Abbey left unfinished,
The selection Of Miss Oakley reccs-
nizes her as Abbey's legitimate sue
cessor In American art. as one of tie
greatest of modern mural decorators.
Not only has she been chosen to car
~ out the most elaborate and the most
costly scheme of decoration of any pub
lie building in America, but she is the
only woman who has ever been given
such commission.
Miss Oakley was born In New Jer-
sey, but spent large part of her
earlier life in New York She worked
Tor awhile under Carroll Beckwith
and then went abroad for further
study. As masters she had Raphael
Collins and Aman Gean at the AGA:
demie Montparnasse and Charles La
sar In Sussex.
For her latest commission Miss Oas-
ley will receive the same compensation
as allowed to Mr.. Abbey. $50 per foot,
which probably will amount to $780,
900. There are to be completed five
panels in the senate chamber and all
the decorations for the supreme court
chamber. eighteen or twenty paintings
In all.
Miss Oakley has already done some
notable work on the capitol in Harris
burg, as she was commissioned as one
OF the mural artists nearly ten years
ago, and her series In the governors

Of the state Of Pennsylvania, proved

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Small Interest in Trading
Irregular Closing.

SO far as real interest in the stock
market was concerned. the Stock Ex-
change might as well have closed
yesterday and hung out sign, CLOSED
to-day on account of worlds series"
1t was baseball day. and I'm the after
noon there was q general exodus OF
bankers. brokers and traders, who
joined the crowd at the Polo Grounds.
The routine of business in stock trans
actions began in the morning with a
show of activity, but there was no am
bition in the trading, and such ten
dency as was in evidence was toward
lower prices. There was considerable
selling pressure put on United States
Steel, but the effect was not serious, as
the price changes were fractional.
Amalgamated Copper was heavy and
Shelters sold down. There was some
improvement shown in the market
after transactions became more gen.
eral, but the small attendance did not
promise any real market energy, and
such business as followed the undula-
/ lions of trading for the backing and
! filing profits and losses was hardly
significant Of any feature or market
/ tone. The Hill stocks had some atten-
I ton and were relatively strong. Among
/ the specials, American Can showed fair
activity and Third Avenue received a
! little pool support. Among the issues
/ that attracted favorable attention was
| Peoples Gas, which sold at its highest
| prices since 1901. In the early after
noon the market was practically left to
itself. There were many rumors afioat,
some affecting one stock and then an
/ other, most Of them being of bearish
nature, predicting big declines. Ameri-
can Beet Sugar was the target mostly
aimed at, although the talk included
! United States Steel and some OF the
/ other standard leaders. But the under
! tone Of the market remained encourage
I ingly firm throughout the day. and the
closing in general was fractionally above
; the low prices Of the session. Some
/ gains were made in the specials, as on
other days. The news of the day was
! ignored unless It CHANGED to be relating
/ to the progress Of the baseball game.
! The serious complexion of the Balkans.
as shown by cable dispatches, re-
ceived little heed in the consideration Of
new events, and references in general
/ to the European situation were of
: desultory character The publication
Of the Copper statement was awaited
/ with some interest, and though an in
crease in stocks had been expected. the
actual show ing was in the nature Of
surprise, as practically twice the
amount was made public that gen.
orally had been predicted, This week
has two events TO cOme-the govern
ment crop report to-day and the ton
mage report Of the United States Steel
Corporation TO be published tomorrow.
Both Of these items OF interest to the
market have been carefully predigested
by traders, as the grain condition is
fairly well known, and the continuous
reports Of steel orders have given
basis for estimating steel tonnage.
Still, the market is always facing an
! element Of uncertainty ana there usu-
ally is some hesitation shown prior to
publication OF reports Of this sort.
