New York Stocks Higher.

There was neither activity nor breadth
TO the New York market, but there was
strength and plenty to it. But 325. 900
shares sold. about 5000 shares an hour.
For this advance, for this display OF
strength one has to thank the peace
outlook in the Balkans and the easier
financial conditions.
The street was disappointed that there
has been no announcement OF an agree
meut between the Union Pacific officials
and the Attorney General regarding the
unloading Of the Southern Pacific hold
ings, but still hopeful that the delay
will not last long.
Gossip continues favorable. and increas-
ing supply Of money may give undertone
to the list The street counts on the
Minnesota rate case as being a bull
argument for Monday.
The bears were rather shocked at the
display OF strength yesterday and COW
cred in the early hours forcing the ad-
vance to top figures, but the closing was
decidedly dull and about one-third of
the advance was lost. stocks moving slug
gishly at the close though retaining much
Of their gains.
There were no weak spots in the list,
even Beet Sugar, forgetting its downward
trend, advanced IL, while the Petroleum
shares were generally higher. Tobacco

II. Il o. Earnings.

Authorities on railroad traffic, who
make it their business to keep just ahead
OF official reports of earnings of i'm
7crtant systems, agree that Baltimore ana
Ohio earned approximately $500, 600 dur
ing the month of December. or about
$l.OOo.coO more than in 1911. This figure
brings the gross earnings for the first
six months of the fiscal year up to ST.
100000 in round numbers, or practically
S5,OO0,0O0 in excess of the same period of
the year before, and gives promise of a
grand total of more than S10o, 100000 for
the year. The gain in net earnings for
the half year is understood to have been
not over $1,000. 900. Nearly so per cent of
the additional gross earnings was alb
sorbed in transportation and maintenance
expenses.

Merger with s5-Cent Gas.

Congress might be inclined to give the
Washington Gas Company the right TO
absorb the business &c, charter rights
&c, Of the Georgetown company, and to
buy the minority holdings of the George
town stock. on the assurance that gas
the city over would be furnished at s.
cents. and this assurance the Washing
ton Gas Company could readily give.
Friends OF both companies are inclined
10 look for this kind Of a solution of the
difficulties, and the sooner the better.
The Washington Gas Company has
closed the best year in its existence; its
sales have been the largest, it has more
than earned its dividend, and while not
given to looking after market fluCtua-
tons. the officials, or those who know
anything about the company's business,
have given II good service.
1t is even possible to effect a change
in the presidency this year. The head
Of the gas company should be suave.
diplomatic, considerable, and able to ap-
proach members of Congress with neces-
sary knowledge up his sleeve, and show
others that he is a gas expert.

Much of the interest and gossip on

come of the situation that recently has
been created through the suit Of a
shareholder for the distribution of the

That the market has not been rent in

of the most evident facts connected with
the matter. That the case eventually
will be tried on its merits seems prob
able, but not certain.

AUTO DANGLED
over PRECIPICE

Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Howe, of this
city had a mighty narrow escape from
instant death through going over a
precipice on the Pail road yesterday
afternoon, when, seated in their ma.
chine, unguided it plunged over a
cliff, carrying with ii its two inmates.
The accident occurred near what is
known as "the hairpin turn along
about three o'clock yesterday after
noon. The party was returning from
a tour of the island Howe disclaimed
having engaged in any bursts OF speed
at the time of the disaster to his car.
Mrs. Howe, while badly frightened,
escaped with few bruises. Every
effort was made by the Howes to keep
the accident from the press. While
the car was lying in an overturned POI
sition some feet down the steep side
Of the cliff. the car number had been
removed while even the lamps bearing
q number were not to be found.
1t is claimed that Howe was at
tempting to adjust the windshield
when his car became unmanageable
and was sent down the steep grade.
The vehicle was badly smashed.

yards, or who do not understand or
love back yards.
To spend as many hours as we may
in this secluded and delectable spot
To plant and cultivate growing
things with our own hands-trees,
vines, shrubs, vegetables, roses, and
all the gay crowd of old-fashioned
flowers.
To open here our hearts to such of
the brotherhood as are tried and true.
To invite to the communion canine
and feline friends, birds who reward
our hospitality with songs at morn
and eventide, cold people whose hearts
have grown mellow, and children who
have not yet forgotten the joy OF
plucking flowers
Life, as it appears to me, is a busy
street and calm back yard, and most
of us spend too much time in the
street.
There is the buying and the selling,
the money-getting and the worry, the
labor that makes the heart grow
weary or callous, the spending and
the display, the tumult and the gilt
ter, the sin and the sordidness, and
all the falseness of external things.
But for most of us, if we have not
lived too long upon the street, there
is little back yard of the soul, that
calls out for our care and our COM
panionship. There, if we will, we
may spend hours of genuine satisfac-
ton.
If we till the soil Alright, there will
spring up love and kindness and the
warmth of human fellowship.
And when the days labor is done,
and the little harvest of fruit or flow
ers is gathered, let the evening find
us there.

THE HUMBLE ANNALS OF
A BACK YARD.
(By Walter A. Dyer.)
:: y .: {. 3: 3: ;. :: :: u :: y

:: :: :: :: :: 3: :: :: I: :: !! :; :: 8:
There are just four kinds of people
in this world: people who have no
back yards at all, people who own
back yards by proxy, people who pos
sess back yards unwillingly and peo-
pie who live in their back yards.
Among the first class may be men
toned Eskimos, wild men of Borneo
convicted criminals, and New York
flat-dwellers
The second class includes boarders
and the very rich. The former gaze
out upon the landladys back yard,
and the latter upon the gardeners
back yard.
The third class consists largely of
bridge players, business men, and
other folk to whom the back yard is
terra incognita or an irksome append
age.
In the fourth class belong you and
l, and the German woman the other
side of our back hedge, who raises
Brussels sprouts and soup herbs,
and who calls my wife her "flower
friend"-we and many others. We
are the Brotherhood of the Back
Yard, and this is our creed:
To turn aside as often as we may
from the dusty street, and leave it
