GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.

at tho nv sent time Is a tendency to run
to vlo.cnt extremes. Opinion as regards
tho stock market outlook is curiousiy III

20 look som. distance into the future.
Thos, inclined TO take a bearish view, or
IL least to await Developments, are per-
rap- ia ths majority. They point out that
tho prcseu. market Is sim very much of
an experiment; that the current steddi-
ness rs derived from tho minimum price
barrier that has been established and that
in any case the test OF bad news has not

that the closing OF the markets every

THE COMING OF
"THE LILAC DOMINO. u
At Academy Of Music, Baltimore Mex
Week.

A musical operate and social event
of the first magnitude, will be the ap-
pearance in Baltimore, at the Academy
of Music, week beginning Monday. Oc-
tober II. of Andreas Dippel's Comic
Opera Company composed of many of
the foremost opera singers of the cOun-
try, in an elaborate production of THE
Lilac Domino" the famous opera by
Charles Cuvillier and the English adap-
tation and lyrics by Harry b. Smith and
Robert b. Smith, which has been ac-
knowledged and recognized as light
opera masterpiece.
The Andreas Dippel Company was
brought into existence in order to re-
vive the glories of comic opera and TO
restore to the American stage a style
of entertainment, which in these days
Of song and dance, had almost disap-
peared from view The plan contem-
plated company of artists who should
gradually develop a repertoire of new
light operas, and was planned on the
same scale which has made the Opera
Comique, of Paris, an internationally
famous institution.
Celebrated artists were engaged for
the first American production Of the
fascinating opera of THE Lilac Dom
ino," which, together with a gorgeous
scenic investure, and picturesque cos
tuning. was produced all last season
in New York and Boston with phenom-
enaI success. This presentation Of The
Lilac Domino" is unquestionably tho
greatest of all light opera and it is safe
to say that never again will the music
loving public have an opportunity o
hearing such a remarkable. cast at less
;han grand opera prices. Secure YOU

TO SUGGEST BASIS FOR
MAINTENANCE OF NAVY
Secretary Daniels Likely to Recon-
mend TO Congress Forty Eight
Battleship Program.

Secretary Daniels has admitted that
the coming Congress may be asked to
provide for q continued building policy
for the navy, having for its object the
maintenance of the navy on the basis
Of at least forty-eight first-class battle
ships
The proportion of battle cruisers.
scouts, destroyers. submarines and the
auxiliaries would be worked out from
that figure The navy general board
for many years has computed its con
struction estimates on a basis similar
to that suggested, but the proposal TO
write the plan into an appropriation
bill as definite and continuing build
ing policy has never been adopted.
Congress will be asked also to make
more liberal provision in reserves OF
ammunition than ever before has been
thought necessary. Secretary Daniels
said the necessity of huge reserves OF
ammunition has been the most striking
lesson drawn from the European war.
The amount to be sought for this pur-
pose was not disclosed. A large in
crease in personnel also will be sought
