Warren came home. If only he would
not be IN an Ill humor! Helen felt
that her strained nerves could stand
nothing more.
Warren was late. II was after seven

once Helen made no attempt TO be
cheerful nor TO make conversation.
What's wrong with you?" he de-
manded briefly.
"Oh. dear, It's been the most try

don't think I've ever felt so irritated
and so depressed"

ACCORDING TO HOYLE." !"

The first author of books dealing with card games was Edmund Hoyle who died in London. aged ninety seven, just 145 years ago to-day. His treatises on whist. piquet, and other games of chance are still authorities, and ~According to HoyIe'' has become a proverb. .Hoyle has been called the inventor of whist, which is an CT TOT, although he was the first to pop uIarize the game and place it on a scientific and exact footing. Hoyle was a lawyer by profession. but he de- rived good income from his books. For his treatise on whist he received 5000. and the, work was so popu- lar that 1t ran through five editions the first year. besides many pirated editions. Hoy1e gave instructions in whist to parties of ladies and gentle men. charging each s5 per lesson. For some years he held an official court position in Ireland. which paid him ss,Ooo per year. Hoy1e's book on whist was first published in 174s, and its circulation since then has probably run into the millions of cop ies.

The Kn1ckerbock- CT tradition has held its own to this day. and the descendants of the Dutch settlers constitute the inner circle of New York aristocracy. In 1873 a Dutch. fleet of seven vessels, with H. 500 men, arrived before Manhattan, and after one shot Fort James sur rendered. and the Dutch flag was again raised. while the names of New A amsterdam and New Netherlands were restored The Butchn1an of Manhattan gave Joyous welcome to thear countrymen. but their joy was Of brief duration. for in the follow ing yearth town and Province were again Surrendered to the English Capt John Manning who surrender ed the town to the Dutch. was tried by court martial, and was sentenced to have his sword broken over his

NEW YORK EXPERT
 REVIEWS SITUATION. IN FINANCIAL WORLD
CBarron Financial News)

New York, Sept. 3-Stockholders of the American Tobacco Go. have re- ceived, in place of the usual checks for the per cent. dividend, dividend certificates to the total amount of S2,o12,I20, These certificates bear in terest at the rate of per cent a. year. The first interest hlstaIlment will be payable March l.. 915, and the second insta11ment together with the princi- pal will be payable September 1, 1915, upon surrender Of the certiA cates.
 August has been the dullest month thus far this year in the railroad equipment business In the ueighbor- hood of 5000 cars were ordered dur ing the rnonth, which is at the rate of only 6oOOo cars e year, while noni- from 15o,oo0 to 1T5,000 carB bought. The large orders understood to be pending before the Interstate Com nerce Commission handed down it's decision. in the advance freight rate case have not materiaHzed, and, all though there are still some fair sized inquiries in the market, buyers are apparently in no greater hurry to close contracts than they were before the decsfon was announced.
 New York bankers estimate that $25, 100000 in interest and dividends on American securities is paid to Europe monthly. At this rate of o3oo, GOO, 900 annually, the total capi- tai investment of Europe. in the 5e- curities of this country, figured at 8 4 1k per cent return, is approximately $6,665, ,0OO,O 900. The London Statist last year estimated the total stake of England in this country at more than $5,Ooo, 900, 900, of which it is said up- wards of $4,0OO, 100000 was in Arnert- can railroads According to this au- thorFty British investors own ap- proxirnately three-fourths of the total foreign capital i'm the United States.
 On the basis of this estimate, there fore, the total fortign investments in the United States are approximately S6e65, 100000, the same figure arrived at above from the interest and divi- dend payments made abroad.
 With gross earnings about what they were in June and not much above the average of the seven months of the year, in comparison with Hast year, the New York Central Lines report the decided gain of $592, 2,510, or more than II per cent in the net earnings after taxes for July. It is the first gainfin net earnings this year. Operating of fcers Of the system are proud of the showing as they have a. right to be under the circumstances
 On the face of the July figures alone, the Pennsylvania did not do nearly 90 well. That systems loss of gross earnings was in almost exactly the same ratio as New I prk CentraIs, but net earnings were off $S75,000, or 4 5 per cent However, the Pennsylvania systems 8 net for the seven months shows a loss of but $2,70O,0o against more than $1o, o,O0O,000 on the New York Central lines, so that one months returns cannot be accepted as telling the whole story.

 And heard his mother say: 'fNow, Tommy, stopl Why. Teddy Would never act that way!
