NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
NEW YORIC, Aug. 9.?The belief was
general today that Spain's reply to the
United States proposals was of such
a character that It might endanger the
whole negotiations for peace by its
failure to return straightforward an?
swers to the questions at issue. This
belief was effective in depressing secu?
rities all over the world. This effect
was especially marked inasmuch as
values have recently improved sharply ?
on the prospect that peace would soon
bo declared. Holders of stocks were
therefore inclined to take profits in
view of the less -favorable outlook.
This was true of Spanish bonds, which
fell both In Paris and London. It
could hardly be said, however, of Cul?
led States bonds, which nevertheless
showed some depression. American
railroad securities declined in Condon
and Europe and there was selling in
New York for foreign account, filter?
ings here on the decline were very
large, hut there was evident also a re?
markable power of absorption which
held prices with a few exceptions, a!- j
most perfectly steady through some of
the lost periods of the trading. Rgcent
leaders suffered quite severely and in
this list are included especially Bur?
lington. St. Paul. Rock Island. Brook?
lyn Rapid Transit, sugar and the ruh
ber stocks. Yesterday's profit taking,
followed by today's selling, caused re?
newed fears among traders that the
large dealers were selling nut. The
hears were active but nervous all day
and their covering induced nunaowuis
rallies. There were several individual
stocks which showed sufficient strength
to exercise a sustaining influence.among
I hem being Elevated. C. C. and St.
Collis. Chesapeage & Ohio. Leather ami
People's Gas, the latter raising an ex?
treme three points. hut reaeting on
tlio day's final profit taking movement.
Prices at one time rallied to near last
night's close anil in a few cases above,
but the bulk of the trading was at a
lower level.

The
?vils
to tie
. d by a nation on
war are by no means confined
imp and the battlefield, and by
evils is not meant the heartaches and
sorrows endured by those whose dear
one's went down before the hail of death
from hostile titles. There are other
ways in which war leaves the impress
of woe up.hose who participate in it.
Sacrifices which are known only to
those who make them strew the tragic
pathway of the soldier from the mo?
ment he unshealhs his sword until he
lays it down to be transformed into the
harmless pruning-hook.
' A most interesting example of this
sad phase of military life came within
ib.- range of the writer's observation i
tew days ago. A captain?one id' ih
most courteous and popul?r men
among all the troops now on th
Peninsula?related his experience
sineo the breaking out ol the
Spanish-American war in tender and
deeply touching terms. He sat in
a ear. which was whirling him on
toward Old Point, uuietly smoking
a fragrant cigar. When the word came
to him in his native city that the Pres?
ident wanted men Tor the impending
conlllct Captain Blank was doing a
prosperous business as a contractor.
Work to the amount of $3.000 in profits,
which could easily have been completed
within a short time, was waiting tor
him, not to speak of numberless small?
er contracts which, in tie- aggregate,
represented a sum almost as large. Be?
sides all this he was the owner of a
large store which was daily thronged
with purchasers.
Captain Blank had been for a long
time at tin- head of bis company of
state malitiamen, and thus ii happened
that when Hi.' boys began to consider
a proposition to become volunteers In
the army of Undo Sam. the question at
i.uee came up as to whether he would
continue to be their leader. If so. all
right; the company would go to the
front: if not. the company would re?
main at homo. The regiment represent?
ed the Ho wer of the state, and hence the
people of the city in which nearly all of
the men belonged were fond of it and
earnestly desired that it should be one
of the first to go to'the front. There
were strong temptations to continue his
peaceful avocations, but patriotism fi?
nally outweighed selfish considerations
anil" ho forsook all. happy in the
thought, of being among those chosen
to defend the country's Hag.
from that, moment all that he hud
began to take to itself wings and fly
away. In camp there came to biin let?
ters from the loved ones left behind
telling him how things were going, but
bidding him do his duty as a soldier.
But all this, ho says, might have ljeen
borne had he and his men been sen
the front for active service instead of
being left for months to pursue the
demoralizing hum-drum of camp lif<

The coon hoino at the Cincinnati 700
consists simply of a plot of ground about,
as largo as a barndoor of extra generous
size would cover. This is surrounded by
a wire fence four foot high, topped with a
broad up curving tin rail, which prevents
the little clownliku creatures from escap?
ing. In tlio center -jf this yard is a tree
20 feet high und haTing many and heavy
limbs. Near the base of the tree is a sev?
eral foot square pool of water. This pool
marks two very exclusive, very notable
characteristics that distinguish tho coou
from any other animal. Tho pool is tho
coon's christening and food cleansing

When a noon gives birth to young, al

family corner of the yard. This sorvica,
solomn and staid, is continued by Mr. and

drives a beer wagon for the Continental
Brewing Company, at Phoebus, was ar?
rested Monday upon the complaint of
Captain Frank Darling, who charges
him with having run his wagon int.. a
street ear at the corner of Queen and
Locust streets. Orange has distin?

as. a. transgressor of the law. Only a

Richardson on an Old Point ear, bill

about a month ago, when he returned

LOUISIANA UNDER SPAIN.
How the Ottice of IIangnian In the Colony
Went Ilegghiff.
When tho court martial that Don Alos
sandro O'Reilly, tho second Spanish gov?
ernor of Louisiana, in 170'J, had organized
to convict brought in a verdict of death
against Lafronioru and six of his compan?
ions as tho leaders of the Louisiana revo?
lutionists against tho authority of Spain,
to which country Louis XV of France had
ceded the colony, O'Reilly sought in vain
among whites and blacks in Louisiana for
a man who would perform tho abhorrent
work of serving as hangman at the execu?
tion of the patriots. Not a man of tho col?
ony would answer the call. In this emer?
gency O'Reilly was compelled to assign the
congenial task of slaughtering tho help?
less Creoles ami Frenchmen to regular
Spanish soldiers whom ho had brought
with him from Spain, ami, instead of bo
lng hanged, Lafrcniero and tho others
were shot to death by a platoon of grena?
diers in a space of ground near the silo of
tho present United States mint in Now
Orleans, which at that time was in tho
roar of tho military garrison of tho post.
The failuroof O'Roiily to secure a hang?
man in tho case of these unfortunate men
recalled to old French residents of Now
Orleans of that day tho interesting story
of .leannot, an African slave of the Missis?
sippi company, or Company of tho West,
which do years previously had control of
tho colony of Louisiana under a charter
granted by tho regent of Orleans. Tho
company olTered Jonnnut his freedom on
condition that ho would serve as public
hangman of the colony, .leannot appeared
to agree to tho proposition, but, ho after?
ward repaired to a seeludcd place and cut
off his right arm with a hatchet. By thin
self indicted mutilation .leannot avoided
tho repulsive duties of hangman for tho
eolony, but he also lost his opportunity for
freedom. However, tho agents of the com?
pany, not, knowing in w hat way to utilize
.1.'annul as a laborer, appointed him over?
seer of all the slaves belonging to it. Poor
Jcaunot was rewarded for his sense of hu?
manity anil conscientiousness by receiving
tho respect and esteem of all the inhabit?
ants of tho colony during tho rest of bU
life.?New Orleans i'icavuuo.

WOMEN AO E QTJIGKp
WHEN MARRIED THEY STAV AT hOMe
AND WORRY.
The "Worry Habit" h One Caune?Physi?
cal Inferiority to Man W Another?How
1o Retain a Youthful Appearance t'nill
* Lute In Lire.
That women age?that Is, become
old in appearance;?more quickly than
tlie members of the sterner sex, is a
matter of every-day observation; It is
a matter of such common knowledge
that very fewof us stop taask why it is
eo. Yet it is surely a question which
deserves more general attention, seeing
that it touches us all very nearly. The
son regrets to see his mother, who has
lavished such care upon him, looking
"old before her time," and the husband
naturally likes his wife to preserve the
freshness cf youth as long as possible.
What, then, are the causes of this
rapid ageing, and can they be re?
moved ?
The most important factor in this
fading of the bloom of youth among
women is worry. Woman Is more deli?
cately constructed than man, her
nerves are more highly strung: hence
the effect of worry upon her organiza?
tion is always greater than upon man.
And woman has far greater opportuni?
ties for worry than the lord of crea?
tion.
Speaking generally, a woman bus to
depend'upon a man for her living. A
man, if he be worried, has to throw it
off and turn his attention to current
business duties; the wife's duties are
confined to the household, and are
chiefly mechanical, thus leaving her
mind free to occupy itself with any
subject of uneasiness that may arise.
For Instance, the wife at home?
confined within the four walls of her
dwelling?worries ovef the fact that
her husband's business Is not prosper?
ing; whereas he, although just as much
interested, has his mind occupied with
the transaction of current affairs, and
has not the same opportunity to in?
dulge in disquieting reflection. More?
over, the worry acts more disastrously
on her finer nerves thau upon his. It
is women rather than men who "go
round tlio corner to meet trouble." as
some one has expressed it. Everybody
knows that.worry kills more people
th;ui works docs.
Another reason why women fade
more quickly than men, Is that they
develop more speedily. Take a boy
and girl of the same age and watch
them; you will lind that at the end ot
a given period that the girl has learnt
more and is developed to a greater ex?
tent than the boy. The natural result
! of this rapid development is a corre
spondingly earlier loss of freshness.
Physical inferiority is another cans*
I or early decay; the wear and tear of
existence tells upon her sooner than a
man.
Of these three causes It is possible to
do something to counteract two at
least. It is possible to increase their
physical strength and to find mental
occupation which will prevent them
from worrying so much. Both objects
may be attained to a great extent by
the same means.
If a woman Is to protect herself from
the ravages of worry, and so retain her
youth for a longer period, she must
come into more frequent contact with
otiter people?as her husband does?
and read good books; site must relieve
the monotony of her duties and the
limiting influence of confinement with?
in four walls by taking outdoor exer?
cise?a walk every day or a spin on a
bicycle; in short, she must exercise tha
body and mind in a healthful manner,
.and site will find the bloom of youth
and health remain with her for years
after it has faded in other women of
the same age.
"The ordinary woman," says a cele?
brated physichen, "leads such a monot?
onous existence that her mind has no
occupation but worry; she is almost
made up of worry upon worry. What
1 she needs is to come out of herself
much more than she.does. She must
have intercourse with more people and
take more exercise. This can be done
without neglecting the home, and every
r.'ghtminded man will do his best to
se> uro for his mother, or his sister, or
his wife these aids to the retention of
youthfulness of body and mind."
WAY OF WASHING THE HAIR.
Point; It Too Frequently a MUtak?
Not ICfislty Remedied.
It Is as great a mistake to wash, the
tiair too frequently s>s to wash It too
seldom. In the former case, the con?
stant use of water is apt to wash away
the natural oil of the skin, without
v.hich the hair not only lose3 Its
glossy look of health, but Is apt to
. turn prematurely gray and grow thin
and scanty. In the latter case ths
mouths of the oil vessels at the roots of
the hair become clogged, dandruff
forms, and the growth of the hair Is
impeded, and the hairs themselves be?
come matted and dusty-looking.
To keep the hair in perfect health it
should be washed at regular stated in?
tervals. If you are strong and well,
and free from a cold of any kind, once
In overy three iveeks or a month is the
proper limit of time to allow between
each washing. If you are in delicate
health it should be washed every six
weeks.
On no account should the hair be
washed if yov. are suffering from a cold
In the head or from influenza, as ser?
ious trouble may be the result. And
in winter time it Is best to have the
hair shampooed at home, instead of go?
ing to the hairdresser's, and it should
also always be done in a room with a
fir's. It is a bad plan to wash the
hair just before going to bed, as the
hair has not time to dry properly, and
Is apt to remain damp till morning,
which is very injurious to its growth.
The liest times to wash tlie hair are the
morning, tlie afternoon, or between 6
and 7 at night.
In the latter case the hair will have
plenty of time to dry before you hava
to go to bed. In the former case, if
you have it washed in the daytime, be
careful not to go out of doors till it is
quite dry, or you will run a very great
risk of taking cold.
