TOBACCO STOCKS
AT HIGH LEVEL
Other Quotations on Market Slump
OF After Making Strong Show
ing at the Opening.
RARRoN sERYICE.

New York, June THE stock market
to-day opened strong, but was followed
by duIlness and a reaction in prices
Tobacco stocks, however, were strong
the American Tobacco common moving
I'D to the highest point Of the year, while
several Of its former subsidiaries made
new high records. The greatest gain
was in American Snuh Company com
mon, which was up twenty-eight points
at one time, although 1t later eased on
a little from the highest point on record.
American Beet Sugar was not affected
by the plea Of Arbuckle Brothers for
free sugar, even though that firm argued
that the only benefit of the duty on
sugar Is to enrich the Beet Sugar stock
holders, The New York State bond sale,
while It was regarded as slightly disap-
pointing, did not influence stock trans
actions. The depression in the London
and Berlin markets affected Canadian
Pacific and other securities held largely
abroad. Stock spectators seemed more
inclined to await the trend OF the
Money Trust" questions and the Su-
preme Court decisions than to make any
commitments.
One Of the most encouraging features
has been the indicated renewal Of in
terest in American securities on the
part Of the French investors. There was
offered in Paris by bankers $4,000 6 per
cent cumulative preferred shares OF
American Smelters Securities Company
for subscription at IS, while steps to
list the certificates representing these
shares on the parquet, or outside mar
ket, have already been taken. Coincident
with this announcement was the open
ing Of the New York branch Of a prom
inent French banking institution for the
purpose Of encouraging American cor
poratious to allot portion OF their
securities to the French market
Those who made requisitions for small
amounts of the Interborough bonds,
which were underwritten TO the extent
Of $40, 900 900 by ]. P. Morgan & Co..
were Iuckier than those desiring large
blocks, for in the allotments just made
the small houses were granted their re-
quests in full to the detriment Of the
larger concerns which had their allot-
Inents pared down materially. The is
sue was largely oversubscribed. This
condition extended to the New York
State bond issue, which was also over
subscribed several million dollars.
The strength of shares of former sub
sidiaries OF the American Tobacco Com
pany has more than eclpsed the recent
activity and phenomenal advances OF
former Standard OIL subsidiaries. The
American Company common stock has
steadily advanced to the highest point
Of the year, while American Snuff Com
pany common stock advanced thirty
points in a day.

checkered Career.

A career Of strange adventures was
recalled in London recently when a.
man named Seton appeared at the
bankruptcy court for public examina-
ton. On coming Of age in 1892 Seton
succeeded to a sum of S25,000, and
for ten years he travelled and engaged
in prospecting, pearl dredging, and
treasure hunting. He also took part
in an expedition, having for its object
q revolution In Honduras Returning
to England in 1904 with between e.
900 and $4,000, he engaged In maya
zine writing, and backed horses on q
system of his own. losing the residue
Of his money. He then started with
partner as a dealer In pictures and
works OF art, with galleries at Putney.
and Chaplain Junction. That business
ended In loss of $1,000 and dis
tress being put in for the rent. He
also carried on business under the
style of the New Ventures Syndicate.
with capital of $4,000. all borrowed.
himself unable to raise more
money. and being pressed. he left the
office, and afterwards moved about
from place to place "eluding writs."
Failing to attend the bankruptcy court
he was arrested on warrant issued
by the court.

MAY RAIN WATER CURATIVE
People Of Tennessee Mountains Be-
lIeve That II Heals Wounds
and Sores.

The people Of the Tennessee
mountains have a superstition about
"May water" They believe that
rain water that falls in the month
of May has great curative powers.
If bottled and kept for medicine it
will heal wounds and sores all
through the summer and winter un-
til spring comes again, when more
May water can be obtained. This
superstition doubtless has no basis
In fact aside from the probability
that rain water falling in the win
ter and early spring could be bottled
in purer state than water gath
cred in the summer, when the air is
full of dust and pollen.
Another of the mountaineer rene
dies is water drunk from new
shoe. This is said to be cure for
sore-mouthed babies. Sometimes
the parent has to -traipse nigh across
the mountain to find anybody who
happens to be indulging in the lux
ury of new pair Of shoes. But
once a new shoe is found the baby's
sore mouth is quickly cured. There
is probably scientific basis for this
theory.

HIahest Price Tor a Poem.

What is the highest price ever paid
by publisher for poem? 1t would
be interesting to know whether any
advance has ever been made on the
$4,000 that Scott received for "Roke-
by"
Mr.. Stephen Gwynn, in his Life Of
Moore" tells us that Murray offered
1000 guineas for the copyright OF
"Lalla Rookh." but Moore's friends
thought he should have more and go
ing to Longman they claimed no less
than the highest price ever paid for
a poem. That said Longman. was
$4,000 paid for 'Rokeby.'"
ION this basis they treated. and
Longman was inclined to stipulate for
a preliminary perusal. Moore. how
ever. refused and the agreement was
finally worded: That upon your Civ
ing into our hands poem Of the
length OF Rokeby.' you shall receive
from us sum OF $4,000"

"women's chivalry toward women"
which has met with much commenda-
tion in London. That women in
crowded public conveyances should
surrender their seats to members of
their sex who are aged or carrying
babies or bundles is not only preached
by Lady Lytton and her scores of
aristocratic followers, but practiced
on every opportunity. Many society
women now quite neglect to use their
own private conveyances that they
may mingle with the plain, everyday
folk-and demonstrate the sincerity
of their convictions. 1t is said that
their influence every day is becoming
more evident and incidentally having
its effect slowly but surely on men
of grouchy or unchivalric disposition.
Lady Lytton is the wife of the sec
ond earl of Lytton and a daughter Of
the late Sir Trevor Chichele-Plowdon
She is woman of great charm and
is noted as a delightful hostess.

MANY WIZARDS IN MOROCCO
French VIII Have Hard Time Eradi-
eating the Belief In WItchcraft
In That Country.

There is no country in the world
where witchcraft is so deeply i'm
planted as in Morocco, and to eradi-
cate it will be the most difficult task.
that the French, in their endeavors
to open up the country to European
trade and civilization, will have to
face. The talebs are so thoroughly
convinced of the truth of their prac-
tees and doctrines that they even
attempt to convert educated Euro
peans. DR.. Mauchamp himself, as
M. Jules Bots relates, was APP
preached by these maitres DIES ten
ebres with that object in view. In
the hope Of making a convert of the
French hakim they told him of the
methods which they employed to in
jure and even to kill the enemies of
their clients. Finding that their
task was hopeless, and that the young
savant was questioning them merely
with the object of satisfying his Gu
riosity, they finally turned against
him and signed his death warrant,
for there can be no doubt that his
assassination was directly due to the
perfdious maneuvers of the wizards
Of Marrakeeh.

OF her executive ability, as shown at
the outset in the reorganization of the
Red Cross, President Taft said:
THE moving spirit of the American
Red Cross is Miss Mabel Boardman.
ft is due to her indefat1gable industry,
per wide acquaintance, her high char
hcter as a woman, and the confidence
that wealthy and influential men have
IN her, that the association has be-
come so prosperous and a power for
ipood."
So, when the selection of officers
game about, she was made chairman
nj the executive board, which is COM
posed otherwise Of men. Hard-headed
old generals, accustomed to ordering
about battalions of men, and grave
surgeons to whom the minutiae of hos
pttal work is sacred, were pleased to
nnd sterling qualities in this woman
lwhom they had hitherto regarded only
In the light of a society leader.
The work grew amazingly after she
pnce got 'in harness." She was cap
able of interesting the most blase per-
son In the cause. In 1911, Yale con-
ferred degree upon her, the only 9TH
ler woman to share the honor being
Jane Adams. President Taft, his
cabinet and other dignitaries were
present when she received it. Govern
ments, too, have honored her. Swe-
den presented her with a gold medal
two years ago; and Italy, through the
Marquis de Montegliari, gave her a
fac-simile of the Roman Civic crown,
as tribute to the work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross at the time of the
earthquake at Messina.
Miss Boardman accompanied the
Taft party to the Orient in 1905. While
In Japan. she became interested in
the Red Cross movement there, and
returned home fred with a desire to
place ours on an equally SOUND
foundation.
