PAINE, WEBER LETTER.
ByL d. Overlook.

BOSTON, July s.-The volume of business today was not large. Weak ness in the Gould stocks. especially in Missiouri Pacific, had a bad effect on prices. The copper producers re- port showing an increase Of 21.000OO0 pounds was about as expected and had no material effect on the coppers, as exceptionally heavy sales have been made since the report was made on July J. The refusal of Paul Warburg 10 accept appointment on the Federal Reserve Board has cast more gloom in financial circles. The exceptionally good crop report met with no response in the stock market Little can be expected until after rate decision is announced. Total sales.

FARM HANDS GET so MUCH
 TROUT THEY WANT TO QUIT

From the Dess Moines Register and
 Leader.
 Geneva N. Y.-Although Seneca lake trout retals for 25 cents a pound and is regarded as luxury, so much so that people from Rochester and Syracuse come to Geneva just to get the fish, many farm hands south of Geneva. near Dresden, threaten to quit their jobs unless the trout stop biting.
 The Seneca lake trout is regarded as very rich and several farm hands who came to Geneva yesterday declared that three weeks diet of 1t morning. noon and night is the limit, and that they have served notice on their employers, for whom they have signed contracts to work eight months, that if they do not change the bill of fare they will quit work and go elsewhere.
 As farm help is scarce in this vicinity the men are hoping for relief. The steady diet of trout is due to the fact. they state, that the fish have been biting read fly this spring and that to land from 20 to p trout, weighing anywhere from four to F pounds, Is an ordinary nights fishing.
 The farmers have been keeping the big catches to themselves in order that the city fishermen might not flock to the grounds, but the farm hands declare that since the fish began to take the bait 1t has been the custom for the farmers to devote at least two evenings week to fishing. The mention of trout to several farm hands in local restaurant yester day nearly caused a riot.

New York, August S.--The first not able furry in the harbor since the naval guard was stationed down the bay to watch against violations of the neutrality laws occurred tonight.
 The clyde line steamer Pawnee, which runs between this port and Phil adelpbia, was chased by d torpedoi boat destroyer after she failed to respond to signals as she was passing out and was brought back inside the narrows. Later she was allowed to proceed. A shot fired from the locality where the battleship Florida and the torepdo boat destroyer Drayton were moored near Tomplinsvlle had failed to halt the steamer.
 The incident appeared 10 be due 10 the Pawnee's failure to observe new port regulations csta ablished as a neu- trality safeguard. All outgoing vessels at night are requested to pass near the Florida and make their identity known. When the pawnee failed to do this shot was fired across her bows and the destroyer put out to bring her back. When her Identity was estab-l lished she was allowed to proceed.
 orders from the British admiralty prevented two transatlantic liners from sailing from this port for Europe today. The British steamer Olympic of the White Star line and the Belgian ship Naderland of the Red Star line were about to weigh anchor when official instructions came for them to remain here for the present. Each carried re- servists among their passengers. The Naderland, although a Belgian, was under the jurisdiction of the British admiralty. it was explained. as she was Antwerp.
 A seport, quickly denied by Cunard officials. was given circulation here to- night that the Lusltania. which sailed

GRAND DUKE BORIS
 ENJOYING HIMSELF
Czar's Cousin Paying Close Attention to Actress
 at Ostend

ostend. August S-tSpecial)-
 Duke Boris, cousin of the Czar of Rus
 sia, is one of the sayest visitors to ostend
 al the present moment. Although the
 town is filled to overflowing wi,h famous
 people there is no one who attracts more
 attention than this handsome member of
 the Russian royal family. Boris. of
 course, is well known here, as he is in
 every town in Europe where gaiety is to
 be found and where convention does not
 presume to interfere with ones extreme
 ideas of personal liberty And although
 the grand duke is knoNn--to be in a
 chronic state of hardupness this seems to
 place no limitation on his ability to spend
 money With layishness understood only
 by Russian grand duke
 Recently the grand duke brought an action in London to prove that he did not run away from the Jap marksmen in Manchuria. No one would think of ask ing Boris to prove that tho clever marks man. Cupid, has no terror for him. The
 grand duke has had moro affairs of the heart than any other celebrity on this side of the water. Royalty. actresses. dancers and mere professional beauties have claimed his allegiance at one time or another and all can testify that ne has shown a delightful spirit of impar- tiality.
 Just now the gossips are busy with the grand duke and his marked attentions | to one of the most beautiful and talented of Viennese actresses, Mile. Gregoriwicz, of the Lustsplel theatre, also a visitor here. Both the actress and the grand duke are fond of bathing and every morn ing may be found disporting themselves
 near the finest bathing machine in Os- tend, the property of the grand duke. The machine is hung with rich royal red curtains and it's interior decorations are worthy of royal palace.

WALRUS A VICTIM
 OF HIS GLUTTONY
From the New York Herald.

from the New lOrk Herald.
 Ephriam, the huge walrus of the New York Geological park, afflicted with a multitude of hookworms, died of sheer laziness, superinduced by the most vo- raeious appetite ever possessed by any animal.
 He was caught near Etah, Greenland by Paul Rainey, and was presented to the park four years ago At that time he weighed 149 pounds, but he began eating his way to an early death on the day he arrived. Batting was a con tinuous performance with Ephriam, both awake and asleep until he became so fat that it pained him to move.
 He weighed 800 pounds on the day of his death. In the last four months his weight increased at the rate of half a pound day.
 He was possibly the most expensive ate forty pounds of clam meat, and oth- preparing the food, the frequent clean ing of his tank and adding sea salt to the water. so that the cost of keeping Ephriam was equal to that of two large elephants.
 Of late the walrus never attempted to move away from the pan of clam meat upon which he fed. Unless it was kept continually full he raised a howl, which sent all the other animals l into throes of nervous excitement. He | frequently went to sleep with his jaws 1 in the feeding pan.

PAPER WOULD NOT
 HAVE A CHANGE

College Mound, the old school town in southwestern Macon county, has decided that local newspaper would be of no vital importance in the community be- cause of competition by the Miseacres at
 the village store and the sewing society.
 says Macon Mo. special to The Herald.
 There is a printing house ait College Mound doing commercial work and the denominational paper for the Holiness people is published there. The town is
 on a hill. most slightly place, and was quite thriving burg many years before Macon county was on the map. As the coal road pushed along toward the old college town some enterprising ones de- cided that 1t might be good idea to pub fish a weekly paper.
 We decided that Callege Mound was big and important enough now for pa per-, said Mr. Castle .and we were feel ing quite pleased over the prospects of
 getting one. But when the promoters met with the residents the other night to talk the matter over one of the speakers said that he couldn't see any good to come from weekly paper, because 1t could not possibly print any news that would not be
 known all around the village long before the paper came out
 When anything happens. if in the ter ritory the paper would occupy, this gen tleman said, somebody telephones it to town, and within five minutes is is no longer news. It Is a curious situation, but
 that is the fact Some 30 or 40 years ago
 weekly newspaper in a town like Col lege Mound might have done fairly well,
 but today it would be a good deal like
 putting the fifth wheel on a wagon
 there would be no use for it. because the
 telephone, the sewing societies and the
 men who foregather about the village stores of an evening would beat the pa
 per out with the news all the way from
 one to six days, according to the place of
 publication.
 This reasoning was absolutely prac- tical that it was agreed to abandon the
 idea of publishing newspaper at the old college town"

 This is why one man left home:
 Charles Lungren of 33l1 Fullerton ave- nue, scorns all medium and fortune tell CTS, but
 His sister consulted medium, who went into trance. it is said and gave her this message for him:
 Some day your stepson will cut your throat.''
 The stepson, Russell. was then three years old.
 Lundgren was practical man who laughed at "spooks." but
 Lundgren left his wife and stepson. so Judge Torrison was told.
 Lundgren's wife lives at 3562 Armitage avenue. She related the story of the spirit message yesterday in the court of domestic relations.J She said she and Lunderen were married 10 days after she had obtained divorce from her former husband, Russells father, in May. 1913. The court said this marriage was in- valid.
 Lundgren said his sister and wife att tended spirtualistic seances, but he was practical and denounced such foolislfness.
 The case was continued until July 27. The judge told both to avoid fortune tellers.
