protesting against the introduction of
military propaganda in the public
schools was voted down.
The session was marked by sever
al demonstrations Kisses coming
when speakers on the platform were
setting forth their views as to why
the resolution should not be passed
President Samuel Gompers said he
was opposed to militarism, but that
he would like to see the farmer the
worker and the people in general
thoroughly trained and organized.
I'm in favor OF international
peace. Use the boycott against the
nation that flies in the face OF the
world, he said
The seamen's act was endorsed I'M

position was expressed to any efforts
to weaken the measure and regret
was voiced at the Interpretation Of
several provisions by the department
OF commerce.
We protest most earnestly" read
the resolution against any weaken

that it be strengthened in It's safety

we regret that the department of

An attorney went to livery stable
and hired Il team for two or three
hours and at the end of that time, in
state of observation-disclosures left the
team at another livery stable, where
it remained eight days. At stable No
there was no worry about the team
They knew the attorney was perfectly
good for the pay. At stable No. >
there was equal freedom from anxiety.
The attorney came there. left the team
and went away saying nothing. They
put the horse into 4 stall and 'chaked
it down" ON the Office slate, knowing
him to be business man WHO paid
cash Discovery came at last, and the
lawyer was presented with two bills,
one for eight days hire and the other
for eight days keep. He paid both
bills promptly, but it cured him of be-
ing absentmhlded for nearly n whole

The cause Of the ARRAY was this:

BERLIN STOCKS HIGH
Official Prices Given First Since the
War BEGAN.


Berlin, Nov. IS. Thy wireless to
SayvilIe. J.. IA majority Of the
speculative engagements on the Ber-
lin Stock Exchange having been set
tied in the last few months, the Stock
Exchange Committee has ordered the
closing out Of the remainder by the
end of November, and has published
an Official list Of quotations as the
settlement basis.
eThese are the first official quota
tons issued on the Berlin Stock Elk
change since the war began" says
the Overseas News Agency. "They
are Of the highest Importance as an
indication of the statue Of financial
affairs in Germany. They refute all
stories invented By Germany's enem-
les concerning the breaking down Of
the nations finances.
THE most interesting quotations
are those Of the German and Prus-
sian 3 Per cent. loans. These are list
ed at 70. the same figure as in July Of
1914 This shows absolutely that the
quotation of 50 given in London was
purely fanciful. as already has been
stated by DR.. Karl Helffterich, Sec
rotary of the Treasury, who, in the
Reichastag, announced that he had
attempted to purchase through neu-
trails, for redemption purposes, as
much of these loans as could be OBJ
tanned at this rate in London These
attempts met with utter failure.
Other interesting quotations are:
Deutscche Bank 225, against 22S be-
fore the war; Hohenlohe Mining
Works, 125, against "a IA Kattowit2
Mining Works, 200, against lS1 ga;
Orient Railway. 1850, against 1870.
In few cases German securities
are listed lower than before the war.
Berlin Elevated is quoted at 115,
against 125. The main declines are
in Russian and Italian securities.
Russian 4 per cents Of 1903 are quot
ed at 60. as compared with SO 3-4 st,
Petersburg International Commerce
Bank. 115, agains, 80; italian Meri-
dional Railway, 25 against TOO. The

sKuNKs AND sKUNKs
One of the Fine Big Crop Raised In
Vermont.

Vermont.
Rutland, Nov. 19.-That much-ma-
lgned frequenter of nocturnal paths,
the North American skunk, is coming
into his own In the last twelve
months his value has doubled. Catch
one of the cunning little animals and
take his pelt to any local furrier and
you will receive just twice as much
for the little black and white terror
as you would have received last
year
The reason for this is that the
skunk tribe for want of sympathetic
attention is rapidly being depopulat.
ed. From time immemorial the
skunk has been considered OF dubious
merit as a household pet and the
skunk.raising fad has never attained
very great proportions. Nearly every
hand has been turned against him
Here and there some hard-headed
business man of iron olfactory nerve
has put his social aspirations behind
him and gone into the skunk breed
ing business, but such men are few
and far between. Skunk.raising is
an honorable calling but it is not a
popular one. 1t is safe to say that
no man every yet aspired to the title
of the skunk king"
The fur OF the genus mephitis,
which is the skunk's parlor name,
is for some unknown reason known
in the. trade as Alaskan sable 3"
There ar no skunks in frigid Alaska
but the term is a pleasanter one than
"skunks hide" There are times
when it is just as well perhaps, to
call a spade an excayator and this is
one Of them
The fur of the fox and raccoon
have also about doubled The rest
of the staples in the fur market are
quoted at about the same prices that
prevailed in 1914 The mink is an ex
ception. The animals are unusually
plentiful this year and that fact is
reflected in the lower price its fur
is bringing in the local fur market

4 WILL LAUNCH SURPRISE
British Said to Have a Gun Which
Will AstOnish the World.

New York, Aug. 19-Recent ar
rivals from England are able to al
ford some explanation of the delay
ed British advance, which as mucn IN
England as throughout the rest or
the world, has caused considerable
bewilde1ment. -,
Their explanation is that Lord Kit
chener has been waiting TO launch
"his great surprise"
And this surprise lies IN the COM
pletion of new guns and new type
of shell which, it is believed, will re-
yolutionize artillery operations and
make the path of the allies to Berlin
more possible than hitherto.
Soon after the beginning OF the
war, when it became patent that high
explosives were to be the domlnat-
ing factor in the struggle for VIC
tory. the combined efforts OF Brit
ish chemists and ordnance experts in
vented a shell unquestionably more
powerful than any previously used.
In destructive power it was without
doubt superior to any previously
known. A variation in explosive COM
position rendered it likely to super
sede all types in use.
The government ordered expert
ments to be made with big guns then
being manufactured at Woolwich
arsenal.
These took place, with result that
every gun so used was either al,
most blown to pieces Or rendered I'M
fit for service for considerable
period. The only way out was to md
guns suitable for the task.
Thus is answered the question why
no advance was made when Warsaw
was about to fall. Nothing was to
be done until these guns, which the
great armament factories Of Britain
have been working on for six months
had been delivered in sufficient guam
titles at the front.

FELL THROUGH sKYLIGHT
Woman Staggered to Street With Big
.Splinters of Glass in Her Hips

Philadelphia, Aug. 1S- Failing
through skylight at No. 61O6 Mark
ct street Monday, Mrs. Alvine Bach
arach was stabbed through the bacS
by two long tapering pieces of heav$
glass and died before she could be
hurried in an automobile to the West
Philadelphia Homeopathic Hospital
The two pieces Of glass, fully six inch
es long, nicked an artery in her hll
and, if first aid had been rendered
physicians say, her life would in all
probability have been saved. As Il
was, however, the woman walked :
half square to the corner, while sev'
eral persons tried frantically to thin
of the right thing to do.
Mrs. Bacharach had been employ
ed by Samuel Miller, at No. 61O4
Market street, was hanging out thu
washing on a small fiat OH the sec
ond story. 1t is believed that sht
stepped upon a skylight opening init

No. CLOG, plunged through the glas'
and landed on a piece of furniture II
the Miller store. By the time Mile
and his wife reached the scene tn
woman, with marvellous nerve, hat
succeeded in getting to the pavemen
With blood pouring from the TIVE
wounds Mrs. Bacharach staggered
along Market street to the corner o
SiXty-frst, where she sank exhaust
ed upon the pavement.
Surgeons at the hospital extracted
the two pieces Of glass shaped lik'
long daggers, from the woman's hips
Mrs. Bacharach's husband is said t,
