they have scattered all over the coun-
try. The FIRST of the Rabbit family
of whom the Rambler has heard was
Harry Rabbit. He came to this
country from England about 1899 and
settled in Montgomery county, living
first on what was then the CHAMPION
farm. now the Ford and Graham, or
the Ford farm. about two miles east
by north of Garrett Park and about
one mile farther than that from Ken
sington. He was twice married. By
his first marriage he had two sons,
William and George. William lived
on the island: that is, In South
Washington. George went west and
was never heard of by his Montgomery
county and Washington kin again. BY
the second marriage he had a son,
Thomas IL. Rabbit, who married Mary
Catherine Ball. daughter Of Turner
and daughters and the grandchildren
and great grandchildren of Thomas II.
Rabbit would be hard to count.

Bear operators, of course. always are
winnowing the news of the day to find
q peg on. which to hang a drive against
stocks. They found yesterday one in
Mr.. GomperSs telegram to the Presl-
dent, In which he sought the latter's
assistance In bringing about a confer
ence Of Steel Corporation officials and
union heads. This was augmented by
a wild rumor which credited Judge
Gary with the statement that the cor
poration would be obliged to meet the
union chiefs. This rumor the Steel
Corporation official at once spiked as a
rank canard and said that no request
for such a conference had been re-
ceived from the President. At any
rate. the opinion of Mr.. Gompers, as
expressed in his message to the Presi-
dent, was sufficient to turn the steels
about and start some short hammering
which was successful in part. Steel,
which had sold as high as 1861
dropped to 103h, but recovered a part
of this loss. Similar weakness was

400 State and municipalities succeeded
in disposng of 521 issues of bonds ag-
gregating a par value OF S57.022.2s0,
against $75.546,160 in July, s92.13S.475
in June and $50. 153.413 in August, 1915.
The total for the current year to Sel

S1S.S44 for 1918; $444.932,84S for
1917, and s497.40S.751 for 1916. As
the above figures clearly indicate. 1919
has been an abnormal year with respect
to municipal borrowings. In the first
eight months of the year remarkable
Roadway was made with the vast author
Izations which had accumulated during
the war period and In addition a large
proportion of the bonds voted last spring
