Garfield, which occurred Monday,
September 10, 1881:
Tuesday was a sad day for the
American people, and in every city,
town, village, hamlet and crossroad,
in our broad country, there were
material evidences of the love and
confidence which the people felt for
the stricken president and his fami-
ly. During the entire day feeling
of gloom prevailed everywhere, and
the otherwise busy hum of politics
and trade was hushed under the
great affliction of 50,000,0O0 people"
Arrangements are being made by
the Y. M. C. A. for holding comment
orative services at the Academy of
Music on Monday evening next at
two O'Clock at which appropriate
addresses will be made by clergymen
and laymen. This service will be
simultaneous with the funeral serv-
ices over the body of President
Garfield at Cleveland.

YOUR MONEY AT WORK
A Winning Investors Experi-
enCe.
BY JOHN M. osKIsoN.

Mr.. X is man who will buy stocks.
under certain circumstances. The other
day he said something to an inquirer
he goes in buying and selling.
1t is a good theory. and he has made
money following it. For instance:
Some time ago the dividend of 2
per cent on Chesapeake and Ohio stock
was discontinued. AS a consequence
its price on the Stock Exchange went
down from about 81 to 3s. Many hold
ers had expected boost Of the divi-
dend rate to 8 per cent instead Of tho
abolition of the per cent.
Holders of Chesapeake and Ohio
stock were naturally much disappoint-
ed. MI: x. however. thought that the
NC rsasoo soon 10 % ,hausSt IN
30 was that he had looked carefully
into the causes for the passed dividend.
He bought Chesapeake and Ohio stock
at 80.
His friends who had never troubled
to look beneath the surface advised
him to sell the stock, but he replied
that his faith was backed by facts
and held on. Today it sold for 81.
price representing proht OF $23 a
share within year.
When Bethlehem Steel began to go
up in price Mr.. x bought at SO. Again.
his skeptical friends told him he was
foolish because the company had never
paid a dividend, and that 1t had had q
big rise in price and was certain to go
down. ~ "a. f
Mr. KS next purchase of Bethlehem
was made at SO. then at Ill, then
at 1876, and finally at 1871. All the
while the mere market followers were
selling short. They saw Mr. KS stock
rising and asked him why he had
the nerve to go on buying. Mr.. x said:
Have you seen the Bethlehem plant
do you know what they have down
there? 1t will cost you only 1886 to
go down there and have . look" Es
Bethlehem Steel Is worth about $3.50
Ia share now. -.E...E H
Mr. x is concerned with Just one
factor when he buys stock-the actual
value of the property represented by
the stock. If that is above the market
value of the stock, 1t is inevitable that
market value shall rise to equal 1t
some time. sea
It Is the only basis on which to buy
and sell stocks. Get the actual facts.
and then be logical.

POTASH FROM KELp.
Plant Expected to Yield Supply for

SAN FRANCISCO, September 30.-The
United States government will estab-

"This plant" he said today. will be

plosives for the American army
rurrentine said that the department
had $1ts,o0o at its disposal to start the
plant. His mission, he said, has been to
ascertain whether the operations of a
powder company and other plants now
doing what the. government purposes to
do, were likely to exhaust the supply
of kelp.
