New York, jaa There We're
indications today that the stock
market was taking account of de-
pressing influences which have been
cbtruding themselves recently Tao
characteristic of the market, of late,
has been its placidity in the face Of
disappointing trade returns. Al
though there were a number Of un-
favorable advances, yesterdays
prices held steady, but today the list
was softer.
Price movements were too narrow
and trading too light TO indicate a
decided change in position Just
before the close, prices stiffened SO
that the changes among the active
stocks were insignificant except for
the loss OF the Coal and Hill shares.
United States Steel was under
pressure much Of the time. The
boom in Hill stocks was stopped
short by the statement of James j..

WAS NO FAULT OF HIS
Pioneer Californian Explains How He

When | was in California In the
wild and woolly '70's," said the man
who is now perfectly respectable, Il

He allowed one minute and thirty.
nine seconds for horror and the ex-
preston thereof. Then he resumed:
Il assure you that it was through no
desire Of my own. 1t came about this
way:
Back in those days people weren't
particular in California about the COM
pany they kept, SO / was thrown in
with all sorts Of chaps about whom |
asked no questions. And one day,
when was seated in restaurant par
taking of supper, one of these casual

in a violent hurry and cast his eye
around till it lighted on me. He
rushed over to where | was seated.

seized it and made for the door on

HOW THEY CARE FOR GUESTS
ConvenTenees of New York Hotels
Show Great Consideration Given
to Comfort of Ladies'.

New York hotels may charge high
prices for their restaurant and dining
room service, but they are more than
generous in some of the conveniences
they furnish their women guests
Dressing rooms are equipped with the
finest Of soaps, the most delicate OF
toilet powders, ice water, abundance
OF hand towels Of choice linen, hair
pins, pins and cold cream, all for the
free use of the fair. There are hand
mirrors and whisk brooms galore and
even hair brushes and combs, If one
cares to use them. That nobody ever
does is apparent from their impec-
cable newness. There is always a neat
maid in attendance, who will furnish
needles and thread for consideration
and even help you with your hair or
mend your glove if it has played you
false in an sour of need.
In one Of the most fashionable OF
these benevolent obstetrics neat de-
vice is we'll worthy of imitation. It is
a small celluloid box or jar with holo
in the cover. The box is filled with
fine, white absorbent cotton, which is
accessible through the opening. This
is TO be used in applying powder to
the face instead of the customary
powder puff. The guest picks out her
little piece Of cotton. powders her be-
nign countenance and then discards
the scrap when she is through with it.
The idea is eminently sanitary and
shows what careful consideration this
hotel gives to every item affecting the
welfare of its guests. Above the dress
ing table is card bearing the signif-
cant inscription, "The conveniences Of
this room are for the use Of paying
guests only"

Counsel Benjamin f. Jones sent out
word thai no one else was to get near
the door. To enforce that order two
large-sized negroes were seated in
chairs right in front of the entrance
door.
Il would like to send in word to Mr..
Jones or to Director Evans was the
request of one news seeker made to
n of the guardians.

ply. you'll have to go out in the
other room and wait until they are
through"
But this is important" insisted the
scribe.
Mr.. Jones says the committee is
not to be disturbed was the calm re-
ply of the larger of the two negroes,
who simply showed his chair a little
closer to the door of the meeting room
and motioned the writer to retire to
the ante-room.
County Counsel Jones and Amos w.
Harrison, a member of the board, left
than the others. They came
out about 10 o'clock and gave out the
news that Guenther was to be named
auditor. They hustled away
without further news. The rest of the,

beautiful meeting room at the Court
House, remained in secret session at
