PROFESSIONAL RUTS
NEW TORK. April 15.—Today's rather
violent fluctuations in prices did not al
ter the general conviction that the current
stock market Is largely In the hands of
profe=«i'-nal operators with the factors
of doubt and uncertainty over the future
sufficient force to keep out any large
public participation In the Trading, and
to keep a tinge of heaviness in the tone
of speculative sentiment.
Th<- bear element made a vigorous on
slaught upon the opening market today.
The subsequent .trading showed the Influ
ence of this considerable extension of
operations on the short side without dis
lodging any important new liquidation.
There was a material recovery from the
first break, but it was not until the
needs ot the uncovered bears had been
substantially met. that the dull and un
certain fluctuations were renewed. The
recovery became most pronounced after
the announcement by the exchange of the
failure of a board member. It was as
sumed that the announcement repre
sented the disclosure of the mvstorlous
something which the bear operators have
Insisted was hanging over the market
to cause last week's reaction. The failure
was not regarded as Important.
Tho record weekly expansion of the
hank loans shown by the bank statement
.came In for Its share of discussion and
was compared with the extended condi
tion of credits for the country at large.
In the money market here, there was a
stiffening of rat»s for the longer matur
ities. although the market Is soft for the
shorter securities. The opinion appears
from some banking quarters that the
present discrepancies In the money mar
ket. of great ease for call loans and sus
tained firmness for other forms of leans
M due to some desire on the part of lend
ers to keen abundant funds on hand
and Immediately available In order to
be nrepared for possible contingencies
The renewed downward drift carried
R rices almost as low as the opening break.
ut there was some recovery again be
fore the irregular closing.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value, SI.350.000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
The total sales of stocks today were
1.0C3.800 shares.

Ex-Attache In Chicago Tribune.
A picturesque ceremony of Holy week
at Rome is that known as the washing
of the feet on Thursday in commemo
ration of Christ’s washing tho feet of
his apostles. It likewise takes place
on that day at the royal palace of Mad
rid, and at the Hofburg at Vienna,
on the eve of Good Friday. But. where
as in the Austrian and Spanish capi
tals the people whose feet are washed
by the sovereign are twelve in num
ber. in Rome the cardinal vicar (who
since 1870 takes the place of the pon
tiff in thematcr, invariably washes
the feet of thirteen men. The custom
of having thirteen instead of twelve
poor men to represent the apostles on
this occasion dated from the reign of
Gregory the Great.
Accoding to sacred legend and pap
ular tradition, one’ Holy Thursday,
when Gregory the Great was engaged
in washing the feel of the twelve poor
men whom he always assembled on that'
day at a bounteously spread table, he
suddenly found a thirteenth before him,
on whose feet were the stigma of the
wounds of the cross, and who had
mysteriously vanished before the kneel
ing pontiff, completely overcome by the
sight, hail risen ;n his f-'-t. From that
time forth thirteen, instead of being
considered unlucky, has always been
looked upon as a sacred number by
the Roman Catholic church, and moro
especially at Rome, and nowhere Is
the prejudice against the number thir
teen regarded with more intolerance to
day than at the vat'ean.
At the Vienna Hofburg the vener
able emperor, in spite of his advanced
age. never fails on Holy Thursday to
perform in person tho ceremony of
washing the feet of twelve poor men.
who. arrayed in new clothes furnished
by him for the occasion, sit in a line
on a raised rais.
After brief religious ceremony the mon
arch kneels before each one in turn, and
pours on to the extended foot some te
pid rose scented watei from a golden
ewer, which is carried for him by the
cardinal archbishop of Vienna, while
the sen r archduke present bears the
golden basin. Another high dignitary
extends to him the embroidered towel
with which he dries each foot. When
the foot washing is comDlete and the
men have resumed their footwear, they
take their place at a bountifully spread
table, where they are waited up on by
the emperor and the archduke and af
terwards sent to their respective homes
in court carriages, each furnished with
a well filled purse and a large basket
ccntaining dishes prepared by the im
perial chef and wishes from the im
perial cellar.
In England the custom of washing
the feet on Holy or Maundy Thursdai"
was. retained until the close of the
reigr. of King James IT, the last Ro
man Catholic sovereign of Great Bri
tain. Since that time the washing of
the feet has been abandoned, but six
ty-six po?r men and sixty-six peer wo
men. their number corresponding to
th<- number of years of the sovereign,
will a-semble in Westminster abbey on
Thursday to receive g'fts of money in :

who shows himself in public on this
day. In the aftenoon Easter eggs are

Catholic usages that have been retain

or other, Easter eggs are supposed to
symbolize the resurrection, and at the
courts of Madrid. Vienna and Munich
painted and gilded-eggs are offered to
the sovereign at the close of the Eas
ter high mass, and are then distribut
ed by him among the members' of the
oyal entourage present.

BOSTON. April 15.—Rarely has there
been so large a gathering of Boston
people under one roof as that which
assembled in the Christian Science
Church tonight, "to swell Boston's
voice,” as one speaker said, “in recog
nition and support of the National
peace and arbitration congress.” which
begins in Now York tomorrow. Over
5,000 people listened to three orators
as the}- pleaded for universal neace.
They were former Secretary of • the
Navy John D. Long, former Governor
John L. Bates and Wm. Lloyd Garri
son. • Rev. W-m. J. McKenzie, of Cam
bridge presided and the meeting was
unsectarian.
Ex-Gorernor Long, who opened the
speech-making, said that the gathering
was to speed arbitration and save hu
man life. He referred, however, to the
late war with Spain and said he did
not know how It cou’.d have been avert
ed or how Cuba could have been res
cued without war, although the con
flict gave pain to President McKinley
“But the war was not waged.” he said,
‘For conquest, glory or gain.” It was
brief and the wounds were soon hea!ed.
William Lloyd Garrison did not spare
the churches of the country in his crit-
cisms and said that the bearers of the
name of Christians were ever ready to
uphold and justify legalized murder
when their own country was involved.
He said that if the present movement
is devout and earnest and proves 5'ital
it will upset the basis of every Govern
ment and the reversal of accepted ideas
must be faced. “The movement Will
strip the- soldier of his uniform,” he
said. ‘Mr. Garrison denounced the war
with Spain and said: "This guilty na
tion and our kindred in guilt across the
Atlantic are ripe for repentence,-which
should manifest itself in acts.”
Former Governor ‘Bates declared that
universal peace is no longer a dream,
but a possibility, not distant but in the
near future.

EVELYN TO SEE HARRY
robs tho happiest and sweetest mo
ment of all the fresh bloom of senti

riages.’ recently made popular, is rank
poison. Marriages of criminals are all
‘trial marriages,’ as those of brutes
and savages are. Even a hint of de
scending to those nether regions for a
rule of life, is a disgrace and a degra
dation.
"In the stage of courtship wise and
good young women have great educa

Sanford remarked that lt was exceed

Williams responded in as respectful

This angered Sanford and he fell upon
Williams and smote him to the floor,

A VITAL NECESSITY
From the American Farmer.
Did you ever reflect that but for
milk there could be no human race at
all? We would simply not be here to
wrangle over reform, read the salac
ious ei’idence in the Thaw case, or dis
cuss methods to muzzle the grafters.
Everything starts with milk. AJ1 men
and women must first be babies, and
milk is the only food that a baby can
take for a long time after birth. No
substitute is possible. Its little ana
tomy is not equal to the task of ab
sorbing any kind of solid food. It
must have milk, warm milk, fresh
from the mother’s breast, or there will
be no germ, no embryo, no baby out of
which to make a man or woman. Not
only is milk indispensable for the
baby, but it is the best of all foods for
adults. Nothing else equals it in
wholesomeness, digestibility, sustain
ing qualities. No wonder, therefore,
that the dairy is such an important in
dustry. No wonder that countless
billions of dollars are invested in it
and countless thousands of people
engaged in its various branches. The
world could not move an inch without
milk. In fact, there could be no world
so far as animal life is concerned,
without this elemental, this primordiaL
this all-pervading element of nutri
tion.
Josh Billings used to start one of
his lectures by saying that he had
heard a great deal on the subject of
milk, but the best thing he had ever
seen on it was cream. This Is good,
of course, as our quaint philosopher
observed, but it is by no means all.
Even skim milk is valuable, much
more so than once supposed. Form
erly it ivas thrown away as worthless;
now every farmer knows that it pos
sesses fattening power. Nothing is
better for poultry food. They dry it
now and use it sa deslcated albumen.
Though much has been taken away by
the skimming or separating process,
much remains of value. -It is used In
the mechanic arts as a factor of nu
merous processes.
Combs, buttons, and rizing for paper,
straw and felt hats, glazing and 3n-
ishing leather and textile commodities
are the results of skim milk in various
forms , It would take a long catalogue.

Duties Relating to the Family.” are
presented by Dr. Charles Richmond
Henderson of the University of Chi
cago. in the current issue of “The
Biblical World."
"Courtship is a recognition of the
freedom and personal rights of a wo
man,” he says, “for where marriage
is decided by force, or where the wife
is bought from the parents like a cow,
or where she is compelled to marry
to secure a fortune from a rich fool,
there her personality is not respected.
Compulsory marriage is a mark of low
civilization, and in fashionable society
there is sometimes a return to bar
barism. The offer of a title as pur
chase price of youth and wealth is on
this level of a lower and earlier stage
of culture. Our ancestors sold and
bought wives openly, and without
shame: perhaps we may still observe
what historians and naturalists call
survivals. There is a nobler way.
"Young persons of both sexes should
be taught, for they will not otherwise
duly think of it, that the conscious
effort of a young man to win a
young woman in courtship is a step
toward marriage, the union of ono
man to one woman for life. Many a
merry hour may properly bn passed
in the genial society of others
without any purpose of marriage: but
courtship, if it is ’ honest,' upright,
Christian, is a series of acts intended
to end in tho establishment of a. fam
ily. If it is not that, it is false, cruel,
selfish, and must end in sorrow of
some degree'and kind.
“In the light of the -facts and of the
ideal of courtship one can judge cer
tain kinds of conduct which are only
too common, although they are not
always adopted with a deliberate pur
pose to injure or deceive. Flirting Is
a too familiar mode of attracting at
tention and winning love, perhans only
to cast it aside. The cruelty of insin
cere encouragement to declarations of
love, whether' by man or woman, Is
unspeakable. Why should a sacred
tree be planted and made to grow un
til its foriri is necessary to the mind
and its roots are do<yi in the earth,
only to pluck it up, bleeding away its
life, and leas’e it to perish? Is there
anything honorable in the boast of
'conquests’?
Value of Courtship.
"The period of courtship is an op
portunity for discrimination, selection,
reason. Hence it should not begin
too early in life. Sometimes a tempo
rary time of separation, for reflection
and comparisqp. with change of scene,
may help the' young people to make
the lifetime decision with greater wis
dom. The conclusion of this period
is but a new beginning. Love has illu
sions: for It idealizes its object; it
the duties of marriage, it cannot give
the rights of amrriage. In some coun
tries engagement is often regarded as
equivolent to marriage. especially
among working men in crowded ten
eiront houses, nnd this leads to many
scandals and liberties, from all which
the woman suffers most of the evil
•without having legal protection.
Modesty and dignity do not dampen
strong affection, but makes the light
burn brighter Into old age.
Preparation for Marriage.
"Honest courtship, the offer and ac
ceptance of a friendship which means
marriage, should lead young persons
to prepare for marriage. For the
young woman this means, in addition
to the modesty, purity and chastity
which every wise mother teaches her
daughter and casts about her as an
angelic mantle of. protection, an
acquisition of the knoweldge and
training of a home maker. This part
of the preparation includes all possi
ble general culture which makes a
woman capable of sympathizing
through a long life tvith the broad, in
dustrial, economic and political in
terests of a man: it includes all pos
sible acquaintance with literature and
art which may. gi\ r e rational, worthy
and Inspiring diversion and recreation
to minds worried and wearied with
monotonous grind and rasping con
tacts; it means the power to keep a
house wholesome, clean, tidy with a
touch of beauty, and not exceed the
income of the man: it includes the
knowledge and the training which are
necessary to feed and care for the in
fant and young child, the normal Issue
of a marriage formed for social ends.
"The preparation of a young man
for marriage must be of body, mind,
spirit. He must be prepared to earn
an Income sufficient to support a
wife and children. Personally he
should be free, and should furnish
reasonable proof to the father of his
fiancee, or, if the father be dead, to
her mother, that he Is free from all
form of communicable disease. Some
day this may be demanded -by law.
when the general public becomes
aware of the frightful ravages of con
tagious and hereditary diseases, and
acquires the moral courage to- apply
an effective legal remedy. But until
that law comes, and as one means of
hastening its coming, every upright
and sensible man will use his best ef
fort to enforce such a requirement by
every means of instruction, persuasion
and influence.”

Seven Railway Kings of America.
From Current Literature for April.
Of railway presidents in the United
States there are hundreds. Of railway
kings there are but seven. The presi
dent Is the executive chief of a single
line. The king Is the financial ruler
of a System cf affliated lines. He may
not be even an officer of any. one line
and yet be the king of the system.
Sir. J. Pierpnnt Morgan, for instance
does not hold any important railroad
office, yet he is the. monarch over one-
fifth of the mileage of the United
States. Ex-Judge William H. Moore,
the king of the Rock Island svstem.
is only a director of the road. Ability
to ruri a railroad is one thing. Ability
to finance a railroad or a system of
railroads is another thing.
The seven kings in the order of
their importance are: J. Pierpont Mor
gan. Edward H. Harriman, William K.
Vanderbilt Henry C. Frick, James- J.
Hill, George J. Gould and William H.
Moore. Their domain comprises more
than 161,000 miles of railroad stock,
with earnings of $1,776 000,000 a year.
Outside of tl.eir seven dominions are
to be found but 25 per cent of- the to
tal mileage of the country, and but 15
per cent of the railroad earnings. This
nation of forty-five sovereign States
seems to be entering into a struggle
with these seven kings and their army
of officers and employes.
Physlc?'AOefects Among Children.
From this^American -Review of Re
views for April.
Moral obliquity, of which truancy is
the first manifestation in'school life,
goes hand in hand with physical de
fects. Thus, among eighty-three tru
ants examined by the department of
health in the special truant school in
this city, 87 per cent were found to
have physical defects, in most cases
of a remedial character. Truancy, and
its kindred ills—the “street habit” rJM
the “gang habit”—lead to crime unlefs
speedily checked. The records of the
Children’s Court in New York and of
that nearly all the youthful criminals
that were brought to these courts were
truants and, what is more, that 85 per
cent of these children were • found
physically defective.
The source of truancy, therefore,
lies chiefly in defects which prevent
children from pursuing their studies.
Remove these defects, and the ability
to go on with school work will be re
stored. while the tendency for truantcy
will be vastly diminished. It is as
difficult for a healthy body to do and
think wrong as it is for a diseased
body to do and think right; as an
Italian savant, Mafucci, expresses it.
Man Is responsible for the good that
he does—for the evil, the disease that
is in him.”
