The Athletic club broadly advertised the
Society circus as a charitable event. DR..
Dedman says on that account not over 10
tickets were sold. He added that the re-
ceipts this year were about $500 less than
last year, while the expenses We're some
thing like $50 greater. 1t is said that the
Athletic club was itself disappointed over
the receipts 1t was stated by Dr. Ded-
man that he is in sympathy with the Holy
Innocents hospital work. and would be
unwilling to see the institution deprived
of any aid. He seemed however, to be
considerably annoyed over the publication
of the card thanking the Athletic club
for the $5S. 20. From three crowded houses
it was anticipated that more substan-
tial sum would be realized
The Holy Innocents hospital authori-
ties, it is said, meant no reflection on the
club, but only wished to explain that the
institution, dependent upon public sub
scriptions, did not receive any large
amount OF money from the Society circus.

For Reduction Of Ranks About
the White House.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2S.-With
the approach of March 4, gloom has
settled over the army and navy smart
set for reports reaching Washington
are that one of President Wilson's
first house cleaning orders will involve
a sweeping reduction in the number
of military and naval attaches now on
duty at the white house. All are
popular socially and much in demand
at dances and balls.
There are at present twelve officers
detailed to the president for escort
duty for distinguished guests and to
undertake the hundred and one social
and diplomatic odd jobs that the chief
executive is compelled to have done.
The staff of officers has steadily in
creased since President Roosevelt's
first term and visitors returning from
Trenton have brought back the report
that a shake up is meditated by Gov.
Wilson who would have the officers re-
turn to their regiments or to their
ships.

BROAD AND STRONG.
Most Cheerful Market Yesterday for
 Several Weeks.

New York, April 1.--G1ainS of one to three points were well distributed among the standard stocks today. The market was the broadest and strong est of several weeks, both the speeula- tive faNofites and the standard invest ment stocks sharing in the rise. Not only was there keen demand for stocks from the short interest. but op- erat1ons for the long account were car ried on more confidently. and new high prices for the rise which began more than a week ago were established.
 Traders were influenced by the re- Sistance Of the market recently to un- favorable news. The death of J. P Morgan yesterday and flood news of last week proved of little effect on the list. and indications were that the market was oVerso1d. Another source @ strength was European buying. An rouncement that Turkey had accepted the peace terms proposed by the pow CTS was followed by large purchasing for foreign account, especially of the copper shares. Tn European demand for the metal will be stimulated, it is expected, by conclusion of the war Exports oe copper to Europe have all ready increased largely, the total for March exceeding all previous records The fortnightly copper statistics show ed an increase of 1,435 tons in Europ- pean supplies.
 PennsyIvania's February report showed a gain of nearly s1,500, 900 in told1 opei aelllS rev NSnuss put a FlSe III expense of over S2,0O0,o00, so that net earnings decreased $534. 900.
