Strong Efforts* Made to Stlmnlnte
llullish Sentiment.
New York. July 23.—The influential in
terests which have taken the leadership
in the stock market continued their efforts
to-day to make a rising market, with the
object of inviting public buying. They
were not discouraged by the failure of
outside interest to develop on account of
last week's advance, and they resumed
their bullish manipulation from the open
ipg this morning.
There was not mugh difficulty apparent
in advancing prices, or if any obstruction
appeared in the shape of offerings in
large r volume than could be absorbed, the
leaders deftly turned their attention to
stocks whose upward course was easier.
As the long interest has not yet attained
large proportions, and as there still re
mains a considerable short Interest, whose
position grows daily more precarious, the
technical conditions favored the advance.
The appearance of outside buying encour
aged the professional bulls to redoubled
efforts and to-day’s market, as a result,
gave an appearance of greater activity
and more strength than on any day last
week. This was particularly true aftei
Sugar had been checked In its flrst reac
tionary tendency, and was found to move
upward easily on moderate buying. This
stock continued to have a marked influ
ence on the whole market, and its re
action late In the day precipitated a move
ment to take the profits elsewhere, so that
the closing was easy at considerable re
cessions from the best.
The distinguishing feature of the market
was its uneavenness. as might be expect
ed from its professional and manipulated
character. A few stocks were active and
s‘rong, a larger number showed sharp ad
vances after lying dormant for some time,
so that very meager transactions were
sufficient to move them. But the major
ity of the list was only moderately act
ive, and continued very sluggish, small
net gains being the rule in sympathy
with the strength in special stocks. Tenn
essee Coal led the stocks with an extreme
advance of 4 points, but several of the
group responded to the extent of a point
or over. Metropolitan Street Railway
rose 2% early in the day, but Brooklyn
Transit took the leadership of the group
with a rise of 3ft on the favorable judi
cial decision in the ten-cent fare case.
In the grangers. St. Paul and Burlington
rose about 2 points each. Early advance
in Leather, People’s Gas and Southern
Pacific proved abortive, and these stocks
were relegated to the background.
The hopefulness of the bulls was predi
cated on the moie encouraging feeling re
garding China, which was reflected
abroad, on the confidence that the money
market is assured of a considerable |>e
riod of ease and that a period of quiet in
political affairs is likely to intervene be
fore the campaign takes on its more act
ive phase. The absence of any engage
ment of gold for export to-day also helped
the market, as did the favorable crop
news.
The bond market continued dull and
prices moved irregularly. Total sales, par
value, $1,286,000.

IMKiS AS POLICEMEN.
lii-Niiltn off Experiment Tried in the
HHulnn Town of (atient.
From the London Mail.
The experiment of training doge to act
os and assist policemen has been tried In
the litile Belgian (own of Ghent with
every success. M. Ernest Van Wesmail,
commissioner of police for Ghent, is re
sponsible for the introduction of dogs as
constables. For the first experiment Bel
gian collies of three kinds—long, short and
rough hair—were* cho en, to which was
added later a Picardy dog.
The dogs are trained to obey policemen
In uniforms only, and are aficrward in
troduced to the rcs'dents. They are taught
to swim and how to grasp objects in the.
water, to save po|>le from drowning, and
to leap high ohs ades. The duti( of the
dog service comm*nee at ten at night an 1
finish at six in th* morning. The animals
are held in leash by policemen until all
the residents are abed, when they aiu
l**t loose, and each having its particular
“beat,” patrols the etreefs noiselessly and
vigilantly. The dog wears a huge spiked
collar, so that in the event of being at
tacked it cannot be grasped by (he throat.
In the cast* of a burglary, tho dog cither
dashes off for a policeman or attacks ihe
felonious one und holds Idm until help
anivf s.
Several of these canine constables have,
proved their utlll y in many ways, in rav
ing life from drowning and in defending
policemen from assault on the pari of B<*l
- “hooligans.”
The coat of keeping these dogs is In fi in >
ltosimal compared with their utility. Their
keep comes to only 3d per day. There are
at present sixteen trained dogs, which
are malntairnd at a total cost of l.SOnf.
per annum, including veterinary and m* a
nd ireatimnt. I banks to the advent of
the dog. the Inhabitants of Ghent rejoice
in a diminution of crime in their town,
und theieis every prosptet of the experi
ment being extended to other centers of
4hc country.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.

T. Glhson llnys Another Third In
terest In Steamer Santee—Tug: 11.
M. C. Smith to Go on Marine Hall
way for Mew Propeller.
The tug Abram Minis lost her propeller
on her way down from Camden and put
into Newport News on Sunday to ship
another propeller, which had been brought
along as usual as a precautionary meas
ure. it whs stated yesterday (hat the Minis
would go into dry dock at Newport News
to have the repairs made, and that she
would only be delayed a few hours. It is
known that arrangements for doing work
of tliis kind tliere are very complete, and
that it can be done in abort order.
Jt is not understood that the .Minis was
totally disabled by the loss of her pro
peller. She did not have a great deal
of trouble in making her way to New
port News.
Had she not met with this mishap the
chances are she would have made u fine
time record on her run down.
liny a Interest in Santee.
The steamer Santee changed hands
partly yesterday. The one-third interest
formerly held by the estate of Phillip
Gullmartin was bought by W. T. Gibson,
vice president and general manager of
the Southern Transportation Company.
The change will not take the ftantee off
her present run between Savannah and
Warsaw. She will continue to run in the
excursion business, making her regular
trip on week days and on Sunday. It is
understood that after the excursion sea
son she will probably be put on the line
between Savannah and Augusta. She Is
a large steamer, and has been put In con
dition for heavy hauling. She is also ad
mirably adapted for excursions, having
large and commodious deck room.
The Swedish bark Carl von Doblen was
hauled off the marine railway yesterday,
and will be shifted for the purpose of
loading naval stores. As previously stat
ed, the vessel has been in considerable
trouble. She hat* been thoroughly caulk
ed, and Is now probably in seaworthy con
dition.
The tug 11. M. C. Smith of the Propel
ler Towboat Company’s fleet, lost a part
of her propeller while towing the large
suction dredge belonging to the R. R. 1
Moore Dredging Company, now working
nt Doboy bar. She will be hauled out
on the marine railway to-day to have a
new propeller shipped. The tug Paulsen
will take the Smith’s place while the re
puirs are being made.
Mr. Charles H. Lary of the Baboock-
Lary Dredging Company, and Mr. C. H.
Grout, secretary and treasurer of the
company, have returned tp Savannah.
They both express themselves as being
pleased In getting back. They report the
heat in New York intense.

CRAZY WOMEN** VANITY.
Curiou* Mania* for Conmetlen nml
“Mke-1 |” Which the Doctor*
Have to Reckon With.
From the London Express.
Tt !<* a curious fact that many insane
womon are possessed with an insatiable
vanity and a mania for “make-up.”
Sometimes the only way to keep the
peace with such pati nt is to allow them
a certain freedom In the use of cosmetics.
A wave of unmanageableness often
passes over the women’s ride of an
asylum If the material of anew uniform
dress deserves the title of dowdy.
Many Insane women will tear a sombre
brown gown to shreds. But if it Isa pret
ty blue or a smart red, they preserve it
carefully against spots and dust.
The effect that dress has on the Insane
is so well known that the Lunacy Com
missioners make special comments on
their official reports to the l*ord Chan
cellor on the colors and material of the
gowns supplied to women In the various
asylums.
Very clever device* to obtain cosmetics
are n storted to by patients infected with
the mania of vanity, who have been ac
customed to artificial aids to beamy.
They soak paper roses in water and use
the tint* <1 result as a check roddener. Or
they put the red covers of books borrow
ed from the asylum library In a basin of
boiling water and bottle the carmine fluid
for future face use. Fresh flowers of red
dish tinge ore crushed and used on faded
cheeks and wrinkled skins.
One former society beauty, now In an
asylum. Is perfectly tractable so long as
she Is allowed to w* ar a curly false fringe
and to use a modified amount of rogu"
and powder. If these are taken away,
she becomes suicidal and refuses to rat.
•Another notable example is that of an
old woman with gray hair who becomes
homicidal when she is deprived of a beau
tiful golden wig stjlied to a girl of seven
teen. The experiment was fried once, but
so much violence resulted that the Com
missioner* recommended that she should
b** allowed to retain h'r headdress.
Be fore admission to the asylum she had
poisoned three persons. But the wig and
plenty of pink powder keep her peace
able and contented.
The friends of patients who find their
happiness In personal decoration bring
them small packets of cosmetics, or
rather they smuggle them in. for such
articles are contraband and against the
rules. Though their minds are gone, the
patients ar*- clever enough to make little
boles In their mattresses and to Invent
meat cunning hiding places for their
treasures.
In those cases where restriction of toi
let appliances increases Insane outbreaks,
the attendants let these little beauty
stores pass by unnoticed. Ho long as the
make-up is not too evident the attendants
do not interfere.
Strictly s|K‘aking, curl patters are not
.allowed in asylum*. Asa matter of fact,

Ingenuity displayed by feeble minds in
turning every day articles to facial use la
often surprising.

A handful of flour begged from th
