New York Stock Market.

Wall St., New York. Feb. 20.-STOCKS-
With a week end session tomorrow and q
holiday on Monday. and with no essential
change in the speculative situation traders
made no attempt during the morning to
arouse the market from its lethargy.
A few OF tho more vulnerable stocks
were weak. Cessation OF outside buying
was as evident in bonds as in stocks.
and the bears took the ground that there
was no room for further advance at
present. but the firm undertone effective
ly checked short selling.
Bonds were steady.
The stock market was sluggish at the
opening today; the popular stocks barely
moved. The only changes Of Significance
were among the specialties. American Ice
continued to advance. gaining nearly a
point. General Motor opened Is lower
and then advanced u above yesterdays
close. Canadian Pacific declined Y.
The market closed steady. Apathy was
the distinguishing feature Of the late
dealings. The narrow fluctuations were
in keeping with the tdlensss of the mar
ket.

Attorney led Double Lie

Monticello, N. Y, Dec, %. =
Melvin H. Couch, former district
attorney of Sullivan county, was
quietly buried this afternoon leav-
ing behind him no written word
to explain what will go down as
the mystery of Monticello 1 his
strange dual existance and asso-
citation with his slave like COM
panion. Adelaide Brance who, for
three years, was virtually pris-
oner in his Office.
From cell in the Jail where
she was held on a technical
charge, the woman saw the fun
eral procession pass on to the
cemetery. She had expressed a
wish to be at the grave side, but
the lawyers widow forbade it.
Couch died on the lounge in his
office early Sunday morning. His
companion, shricking, gave the
alarm and summoned physician.
Then for thcsirst time it became
known that for three years she
had for love of the man existed
in a tiny quarter of the office
partitioned off as a combination
sleeping, living room and kitchen.
Couch for years had spent most
of his time in his office. The
Brance woman says she loved him
devotedly that he returned her
love and that their relations dat
ed back fifteen years, when she,
as a book agent CHANGED to call
on him. 9
The woman looks pale and bag
gard today. She was young and
attractive looking ten years ago.
but her devotion to Couch and
the secret alliance and it's Incl
dent confinement have aged her
terribly. She has refused 10 dis
cuss the case, saying that she
wishes to drop out of sight in or
der not to cause the Couch fam
lily any more notority. Her his
tory is vague, little being known
except that she formerly lived in
Goshen, N. Y, and has a brother
somewhere in Ohio.

Reform by the Ballet

Bishop Warren Gambler. of the
Southern Methodist Episcopal
church delivereda sermon in At
lanta, Ga, last Sunday in which
ne criticized the voting mania OF
the American people. Many men
who are otherwise sane appear tc
think, he said. that any reform
can be brought about by the bal.
lot, and as q consequence we are
having all sorts of elections on
questions which should not be
in politica. Said the bishop:
These men ought to be re-
forming their own lives and those
of their children. and then they
would lack time to be clamoring
for elections on all sorts of issues.
We would not need 30 many re-
forms if there were more religion
in the homes of the land"
But the men are not the only
offenders in the view of this emf
nent churchman. who apparently
is not a very ardent supporter OF
the cause Of equal suffrage. The
gentle sex will be interested in
these remarks pertaining to their
activities.
Many women also have fallen
under this delusion that voting
will reform every vice and es-
tablish every virtue in the earth.
But the plain fact is that WON
ans suffrage whore 1t has been
tried has not accomplished any
such end.
Vicious women have outvoted
the virtuous and nothing more
has been accomplished than the
increase Of the ballots to be
counted after the polls closed.
The world cannot be saved by the
votes Of either men or women,
but it will be greatly damaged by
women neglecting the home tc
engage in political strife. WON.
en- cannot afford the ballot"

Cashier Leaves a Shortage

jamestown, N. Y, Dec. %. -
Edward Morgan, cashier of First
National bank of this city, has
disappeared and there is a short
age of $14, 5000 in the cash re-
serve of the bank. The institu-
ton is one of the strongest in this
section.
Mr.. Morgan left town Friday
night when he discovered that a
bank examiner was in the city.
He left no word Of his destina-
ton. He telephoned his brother
ia law in Warren. Pa, on Sunday
from Cleveland that he was in
financial difficulties, but another
brother-jn-law who went to Cleve-
land last night has thus far failed
to locate him. Morgan is 63
years old. He has been cashier
of the bank for % years. He
has engaged heavily in local real
estate enterprises and was a
heavy borrower. He is said to
have been deeply involved finan-
cia.ly for a long time.

Will Work COnvicts

1t is likely that all the availa-
bic convicts in the state peniten-
tiary at Moundsville will be
placed on the county roads thru
out the state by next summer.
Already five counties have appli-
ed for convicts to work on the
roads, it is understood, and if the
present rate of increase contin-
ues from now until the convicts
are placed on the road work next
spring, it is probable that the en-
tire available population will be
placed on road work before next
fall.
1t has been decided not to send
any of the convicts out before
spring, owing to weather condi-
tons, it being feared that sudden
change from warm confinement
I'd colo exposure WOULD prove TOO
much for the men.
Warden Brown says that it is
impossible to estimate very close
ly the number of convicts who
will be able to work on the roads,
but says that statistics from 9TH
er states where the convict labor
plan is in vogue, are that only
about 80 per cent are safe enough
to take out. At these figures
only about $50 or 400 convicts
could be used from the West Vir-
ginia penitentiary, as the popula.
ton of the pen now is close to the
1.150 mark.

Money, Crops and Business

On Saturday last the weekly
statement of averages of the as.
ISOLATED banks and trust COM

hibited a surplus reserve in cash
of SIC, 100, 900, as against a sur
plus reserve for the same week
in 1912 or 81, $40, $50, and in 1911
of $12, SAT, 800.
This is most excellent show
ing, ole that in itself goes far as
evidence of the strong position
of the financial institutions Of the
principal money center of the
continent, especially after the re-
cent drafts of ICanada for gold
and the act that our European
credits have suffered no deple-
ton through shipment of gold to
this country.
Everything indicates a very
speedy acceptance of the new
banking and currency measure
by the banks of the republic; ap-
plications for entry under the
new system are reported as al.
ready arriving at the Treasury
Department, and from New
York. Philadelphia and Baltimore

Sauer Kraut for Pacific

Of all the articles that have
gone through the parcels post for
distant points, two, at least, from
here are worthy of mention.
One was a bucket of homemade
sauer kraut, which went from
here to the Pacific coast. OF
course the postage was rather
high on account of the distance,
several times the worth Of the
kraut, but 1t was homemade and
the sender did not care for the
cost, as she knows that the gift
will be appreciated. The other
was pail of homemade sausage,
sent to a relative at Denver, and
as this sausage is of the very best
that was ever made, the party to
whom 1t was sent will certainly
appreciate 1t and enjoy it during
the happy holiday season. Sen.
