 Down in Baltimore it is realized that the jig Is up. Those in close touch with the inside admit it The press of that city. however, is sullen and covers it's disappointment with in nuendoes of a dreary outlook for the International leagus, when the out law cause is ended. Personally, am of the opinion that the Federal league promoters are simply whistling to keep up their courage. They have been nit too hard. financially to recov- CT and are staIling along in the hope of some sort of leniency at the hands of organized baseball.

REVERSAL OF PLANS TO
 REOPEN STOCK EXCHANGE.
AaesO Bond and investment Houses
 Are Not Prepared.

New York, Nov. 19.-An unexpected reversal of the definite plans to re- open the stock exchange on Saturday for trading in bonds was the most financial district Reasons given for the annulnent dealt mainly with the unpreparedneSs of certain large bond and investment houses to meet the proposed situation. which, it was fear ed, might provoke a food of iquida- ton from foreign and domestic sources.
 There was also reason to believe that resumption of bond dealings at such short notice had aroused unex- banking quarters. It has long been known that the most powerful fnan : cial interests have expressed their disapproval of any renewal of local operations, even on a restricted basis, until conditions abroad, chiefly in London. assumed a more normal as- pect,
 It was significant of the situation as 8 whole that prices, fin the markets now in operation suffered material declines earlier in the day. Some of the listed stocks traded in without the sanction of the exchange declined from two to three points and accord ing to trustworthy reports most of tht offerings were in the form of foreign owned certificates
 OeVeiopnenCs otneTWiSe were main . 1y of an encouraging character, the money market evidencing further ease, with a lowering of the rate for com n1efcfaI paper. Exchange on London was drmers and an advance in francs was noted. There was a reaction in both markets, however when the de- Gn@nd waned.
 Further advances in copper and lead suggested a. better demand for those products, although the home con- sumption continued at low ebb. Re- ports that several railroads were nc EOtjating for new equipment, includ. ing the Hartman and Hill lines, ae- centuated the better feeling in that industry.
 Only one important railroad report for October, that of the Southern Pa cidcs was submitted. It showed a net loss of $s5a,oH1 The reports of minor roads djF Ised heavy gross de- CEeaGe2.

The Long Arm of Coincidence.

Lady MacdonelI in her "reminiscences tells of curious incident which oc- cured thirty-slx hours after leaving Southampton. A large bird perched itself on the summit Of the mainmast. a sailor went up and caught 1t and brought 1t down. and it proved to be X brown owl!
 "I am superstitious about owls" says Lady Macdonell, and was very de- pressed. especially as had left my fa- vorite sister i'll. The sailors tied a string round the poor. dazed creature's leg and were rather III treating 1t, so l offered them shillings for the bird. which they accepted. and 1 then let 1t out Of my porthole. The caprnin told me that they often caught even small CT birds on the mast. especially when the wind was blowing otf the land. On arriving at Lisbon we received x telegram to say that thirty-six hours after my departure my sister hud pass ed away and also Lady Macdonell. the wife of General Sir A. Macdonell, my brotherin-law. It was strange coin cidence."

 The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear In the various values given to d mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite" seems to have been a third of Flemish penny. but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made It. regular English meaning h,rif a far thing. and some old people may re. member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books "ulite" stands for various val. ues not represented by actual coins. but obviously used in reckoning. A work of lT06 makes 1t one-twelfth of d penny, two sixteenth century books one-sixth of farthing. aud in 1G7I Jeake's arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of u penny.-London Chronicle

The "macaroni" were exquisites or fops who in England and France led the fashions from 17S0 to 1TS5 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the ton of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash. ionable gentlemen, who invariably car. ried long walking stick with tussels attached and frequently d bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged d mine. ing and affected gait and manner.

The EtIri0m.

Greek mythology created some fc- male deities Who were supposed to ln- habit the lower regions and visit the earth to avenge supposed wrongs and punish their enemies. Black sheep were sacrificed to them at night by the light of torches and they were rep resented as horrid looking creatures. wearing long. black robes. with snaky locks, bloodshot eyes and clnwlikc nails. Sometimes they had snakes or torches in their hair and carried scourges or sickles in their hands. The Greeks called these imaginary creatures Erinyes, and the Romans, adopting the same idea, called them furies. Nergil represents them as will ing agents employed by the higher gods to stir up mischief. strife and hatred on the earths-Philadelphia Press.
