NEw"YORK STOCK MARKET New Yo:k.—The morning stock session wrought no pronounced changes in the representative group, few of which va ried more than fractions. There was a pronounced upward movement in the specialties, however. Dry Goods pfd rose almost foul* points. Rock Island, pfd and the collateral bonds joined the common shares in establishing new low records. Sudden activity in Missouri Pacific 4 per cent, bonds and tlie stock which declined five and 1 % points, re respectivelv, was preferable to the pro posed financial readjustment of that property. The bond list was quiet ex cept fcfr some strength in Kansas and Texas first and International Pump ss. Selling of the Gould stocks continued in the early afternoon, in connection with reports of drastic scaling down of Mis souri Pacific issues under the re-or ganization. Missouri Pacific extended its loss to two points and Denver’s were lower. Active issues shaded in sym pathy. A small expert of gold to South America, presumably for London ac count. was announced. The market closed steady. Under lead of Union Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio. Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley, stocks were lifted out of their rut in the fiijar hour. The activity was attended by the time-worn rumor of an early an nouncement of the freight rate decision. NEW YORK STOCK LIST Last Sale.

C.—Gold shipments to Europe aie practically at an end for this year in the opinion of Geo. T. Roberts, director of the mint. Two weeks ago, Mr. Roberts said the excellent grain crop iti this country, coupled with the had crop conditions in Europe would soon swing the balance of trade back toward the United States and check the out ward movement of gold. This predic tion has been realized, he declared to day, and the exchange rate has fallen to a point where further exportation of gold would he unprofitable. GOLFING New York.—After explaining that some golf stories are like most fish stories, we will proceed to “lilt a few anecdotes from the “Queer Shots in Golf’ article which appears in the June issue of the Golfers' Magazine. No names are mentioned in con nection with a story of ho\£..a grass hopper once got in the way of a roll ing ball and kept it from dropping into the hole. Probably, as they say in breakfast food circles, "There's a rea son.” It seents that the golfer who was thwarted by tile grasshopper, made a terrific approach shot, and the ball, landing some distance from (he green, continued to roll and roll and roll. The golfer was amazed to see the bail finally roll onto the green, and head directly for the hole. It seemed to have sufficient momentum to carry it into the cup, when, all of a sudden, up jumped Mister Grass Hopper from liis place of hiding, just in time to see the hall bearing down upon him. “Halt!" commanded the grasshop per, aiming his left leg at the heart of the ball. The ball didn't halt. “Hey, you, slip us the countersign or roil don't enter here," roared the grasshopper. The hall ignored the demand for a countersign, and so the grasshopper, not being sure whether the ball was friend or foe, but not caring to take any chances, swung out one of ins trusty feet, landed a perfect solar plexus, and the hall was halted In Its made career—Just on the rim of the cup. Opin Read, the author, and Dr. R. C. Fisher, of Chicago, once played a round over the Jackson Park course and then sat under a tree to rest. While seated, some other golfer sliced a drive and the ball struck the tree under which our heroes were sitting. Both Read and Dr. Fisher ducked but the ball did not fall to the ground as far as they could see. Pretty soon the golfer and his cad dy came along looking for the ball. The authorand physician joined In the search hut it was unavailing. The hall was not found then, but it was found later. Nope, you've guessed wrong wron.r. The hall did not drqp down Ihe back of Read’s neck. it dropped into the doctor’s coat pocket anil he found it there that evening when lie was searching around in the pocket for a package of chewing gum, or his pipe, or whatever It was that he was esaret Ing for. "How to Hole a Rail Without Swat ting it with a Club” ought to he the title of this one. It happened on the North Borwlch course. A thirty-six hole foursome was be ing played. It was all even on the thirty-sixth hole. One side got Ihe ball to Ihe green, and dropped It Int i the cup on the, next shot. The ball of the other side was 20 feet away. A gale was blowing, and the ball lay on a point a bit higher up than the hols level. The player figured the shot an impossible one, hut he determined to make a desperate try for It anyway. Just as he was about to soak the hall a nire soak, an extra strong gust of wind came along and hit the hall, shirting it to rolling down hill. And whaddaya think of It! That ball ro'lcd right Into the cuj-, so It did! And Hie side that owned the hall woo the match. How was that? Well, It was decided that the player had not grounded his club before the ball started rolling, and, therefore, the roll was counted as part of th last shot. Pretty good figuring, hey? But you can't always get. away wl*h those kind of shots, as Is shown by an other story In which a caterpillar fig ured. Evej-ything was even at the eigh teenth. hob Player number one got his hall onto the green arid holed it. Player number two got his hall onto the green, near the cup. which was In a slightly sloping position, lie was trying to figure out from JiiHt what angle to shoot when a caterpillar ambled along and climbed aboard the ball. Now, everybody knows that a eater. I I liar doesn't weigh much, hut this particular caterpillar was a fat fellow. He was so fat ami bulky that he dis turbed the equilibrium of the hall enough to start it to moving. The had gained momentum and finally rolled right Into the hole, carrying the rater pillar with It. The player claimed that the hole was his and the mate h also, claiming he hurl not grounded his club and that the caterpillar-propeller] movement of the hall should be counted as part >f the last stroke, But, when It was put up to a final authority the claim was disallowed. The referee said that the icall should have been put back into position without penally, on the fheTn th a‘ ~a" missed the hob* and rolled ten feet awav, the golfer wcifhi have Insisted upon re. placing It. 1 40 CARLOADS ARTILLERY.

"This reminds tr.e of some of the pies I knew In my happy childhood days," said the rnan without a heart. “The kind your mother used to make?” "No The kind we children would make out of mud.’—Washington Star, THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. Mrs. Walter Burns Guest of Mrs. Astor MRS. WALTER BURNS. London. —Mrs. Walter Burns, wear ing mauve brocade and emeralds, a most striking costume and one very well suited to her style of beauty, was a guest of Mrs. John Astor at a small dinner party which is attracting at tention. Mrs. Aster’s lovely Adam dining room was decorated with yellow roses. She wore a gown of deep rose brocade and sliver lace, with a necklace of pink diamonds and pink roses in her hair. Mrs. John Astor is now considered the greatest artist in dressing that London lias ever known. Her friends say she devotes five solid hours every day—from 8 o'clock 1 nthe morning until 1 o’clock In the afternoon—to thinking out new dress creations, and keeps a talented woman fully occupied committing her Ideas on color and draperies to paper. She has four warej robe maids. In addition to dressers and sewing maids. A suite of four spacious rooms is allotted to dresses. Then the wails of one large room are covered with cases for her footwear alone. No such collection In point of style and ele gance is to be found anywhere else. At the Horse Show she wore a won derful creation in white lace with white lilies and a white lace hat with silver and white roses. It was a dar ing color scheme, but with her white hair and peachlike complexion she made the usual sensation. She went to Paris to attend the Duchess of Gramont's crinoline bad, which was a dazzling succea. The costumes of the women were of the period of 1830 to 1870—hoops, flounces, draped skirts, hair in bandeaux with curls hanging over the shoulders, short gloves, narrow velvet around the neck—all with swinging crinolines The Ear! and Countess of Oranard were also there. Now Mrs. Astor Is being importuned to give a crinoline ball in London. ATLANTA’S DIVORCE MILL IS GRINDING THEM OUT Atlanta, Ga,—The Fulton county di vorce mill Is grinding again this week. Always the courtroom Is filled with women and children —there seems always to be children In a divorce affair—and with curious persons who come to hear the rather salty testimony which marks so many of the suits. The first session this week was un usual because of the number of deser tion cases. Fourteen of the 32 cases were on grounds of desertion. Mrs. Eva ilennlg had a peculiar ease, in that her husband filed an answer from the Missouri penitentiary, where he Is an Inmate. He admitted that he was a gambler and a drunkard, but ask ed that he might also he given a divorce so he could marry again when he comes out. He didn’t get It, though his wife was freed from her bonds. MTs. D. H. Keefer, a society woman who has figured In many marital trou bles and occupied several columns of print, filed suit for divorce against Da vid Keefer. Ory? of her allegations Is that he threw a'becr bottle at her and struck her daughter. Mrs. Keefer Is Ihe same society woman who was dis covered washing dishes in a cheap res taurant several months ago. She said she was doing It as a course in sanitary conditions.

J 7 THOSE EMPTY BERIINjKES Vacant As the Result of Hitches in the Running of the Fatherlands Government. Berlin.—Two groat buildings stand empty in prominent parts of Berlin as the result of hitches in the run ning of the Fatherland’s government. Many an amusing tale hovers about the half-completed Military Cabinet and “Kroll’s” scene of large scale halls. The Department, of War defied the Reichstag In attempting to transfer the special department of personnel from an old stucco palace to a smart thoroughfare on the edge of the Tler garten,-whilst the Court Oipera was to be established in new q/arters, some distance away, facing the Par liament House. But the Reichstag has ereckinated both plans. The question of the Military Cabi net Is probably the object of the greater amusement. The Department, of War acted too hastily. In the first place it made an exchange of laud with private persons, which very soon had to be repealed in face of the dis satisfaction which it caused in the Prussian Diet. The mattlr was not eet right, and finally was put to ar bitration. with the result that the Department of War was ordered eith er to pay compensation to the amount of $780,000 or to purchase a plot of land involved in these transactions for the sum of $1,375,000. Without Money. Considering that when the decision of the arbitrators was given a half finished building was already stand ing on this plot of land designed from the beginning to house the Mil itary Cabinet, this was rather like Hobson's choice, unless the Reichstag wished to he particularly Inconse quential. So finally the acceptance of the (purchase was ratified. But as in the first instance the depart ment had been working quite with out consulting the Reichstag, the building having been begun before the Reichstag had voted a single penny towards it—the department came In for some sharp criticism; for small aa afe its powers, the Reich stag insists on more than a sem blance of control over financial mat ters. The ghostly building has now stood eighteen months without as much as a brick, a tile, or a touch of paint be ing added 1o it. Architectural Ghost. The other architectural ghost 1h Kroll’s, the existence of which ha* been constantly threatened for a dozen years past. This mass of brick and plaster has housed many a per formance of exotic art, Italian and Russian ballets, as well aa opera (EnglUh performances of Shakes peare, with occasional glimptses of fine French comedy), in the course of its long career. For ten tears or more it has been planned to erect the new Court Opera on this site The City of Berlin, as owners of the land, has willingly ap proved of the idea, even though il involves a free gift on their part, which Is reckoned as being worth $1,750,000, but as the Prussian DM disagrees with the plans that, have been laid before It nnd has refuse! the first vote of $125,000 towards building, the laying of the foundation gione must needs be postponed Tor another year. SPORT DOPE (By Ringside.) New York. Kngland ban placed a ban on mixed boutH. That Ih, the Home Of fice has strongly opposed exhibitions be tween fighter** of varying hue. and the promotera have been keen enough to foresee that the edict meant no bouts between blacks and whites. Thin [iVonwnclamento does one Mr. Samuel Langford out of quite a bit of change It had been planned to bring the ebony demon Into ;« London ring with Gunboat Smith. Langford was pining for this chance, as he wished to atbne for his miserable showing against the Henman up in Boston a few months back. Now Tbam will have to seek hIM revenge In parts other (ban Merrle England. Perhaps Paris will stand for such a meeting after the Gunboat gets through with their Idol, Georges Carpentier. It Is probable that only one American will compete in the French open golf championship tonurnament. which takes place over the Le Tocquet links on Mon day and Tuesday. July 6 and 7. Francis Oulrnet is the only Yankee who intends participating. The American open title holder recently won the French amateur title, and he Is desirous of taking home with him both French titles. California, the haven of champion tennis players, has furnished the Last with another of Its annual net sensa tions. K. Lindley Murray, of Iceland Htanford, who is still under his majority, gives every promise of becoming a mem ber of the Davis Cup Team. Ills play In the metropolitan singles championships a fortnight ago stamped him hh another Maurice McLoughlln. Murray won the title by defeating the veteran. Alexander, In five hard-fought seta. Th« l*d never flinched under Alemder’s heaviest fire Murray Is an oddity In the championship tennis line, ss he Is a left-handed player. His vglleylng is on a par with McLough* lln, hut he lacks experience In tourna ment play. New York.-It Is too bad that the Browns and Cardinals couldn't have hit a winning stride before, this year. As It Is. Hie fact that both the teams have played a great article of baseball, and that both are occupying higher positions than In many years. Is discounted by ugly rumors that Hie races In both the American end National leagues ave fix ed so that the Feds In St. Routs will bs crushed out. Such chargee are groundless Russ ball nover has been a crooked game and there Is not one olkncS In a million A hat crookedness had entered Into It this year in the extent of tha other teams sacrificing their own chances for winning tha pennant by giving th* Browne and Cardinals enough gamee eu that they will elay up In the race and draw the crowds lo their pßrks.
