How I:oIand-rs lie Horses.

The lcclai.ders have a strange but
effective plan for preventing horses
straying away from any particular
spot. If two gentlemen happen to be
riding without attendants and wish to
leave their horses for any reason they
lie the head Of one horse to the tail of
the former In this state 1t is utterly
impossible for the horses to move on,
either backward or forward. If dis.
posed TO move at all twill be only in
a circle, and even then there must be
mutual agreement to turn their heads
the same way.

Steel Common Leads in Activity, With
Lake Superior Next

Market operations in Philadelphia slowed
down further today, and with the smaller
amount of trading It was natural that
changes In prices should be small These
changes, too. were irregular. but the larger
number OF them were on scale up. While
the market was small a good underlying
tone was noted, and this brought about the
firmness that was present all through the
day. just now the whole Street Is giving
more attention to the needs of the ma
tional Government than to their own af-
fairs. and to this can be assigned the real
reason for further slackening down In
the amount of business done on Change.
The attendance in the commission houses
was about as large as 1t has been on recent
days. but the majority of the traders pres

United States Steel common, did not come
out on the tape to any large extent.
When some pressure appeared against
United States Steel common in Wall street
in the early part OF the day 1t sold down a
little here as compared with earlier trans
actions, but at one time in the afternoon 1t
WAS up full point as compared with the
final figure of last night. This stock was
also the most active. Lake Superior hung
around the closing figure Of last night, being
the most active Of the home shares.
In the table giving the total transactions
for the day Tonopah Mining stood as the
most active. but Of the turnover in that
issue there was a block of 1000 shares
which changed hands at 6ia. a change on

WHOLESALE LIQUOR MEN
DRIVE AT 'SPEAKEASIES'
Action Taken in License Court
to Prevent Direct Selling
to Consumer

behind the action taken by the Whole
SAFE Liquor Dealers Association in the
License Court this afternoon is a plan said
to be aimed at the elimination of the
speak-easy." At the outset of the pro-
ceedings Joseph l.. McAleer. representing
the association, filed petition against the
Eel Brewing Company seeking to prevent
'his concern from selling straight to the
consumer
rms procedure, Mr.. McAleer contended,
'ioia'ed the act of 1891. which prohibits
preweries from selling to consumers direct.
The attorney also declared that it tended
toward the development OF speak k-eas sizes. -
Many regularly licensed saloons con-
oucted IN strict accordance with the law
are losing trade through the increase in
lne number of ''speakeasies" which are now
thriving as much as ever under the guise of
clubs.
These Sunday booze establishments are
not molested on account of protection af-
1orded by ward leaders and they also oper.
ated in many instances under charters
gained by subterfuge.
The Liquor Dealers Association charge
that the Fell Company and other small con
Germs sell direct to the consumers, and the
action against the company named is taker
to test tie present law
