STOCKS STAGNATED
Fair Activity at Start Gave Way to
Dullness More Profound Than
Any This Summer.
New Y'ork, .Imie ;l. There was a
fair degree of activity during the lirst
hour of the stock exchange session to-
lay. Apparently it took about that
length of time to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of professional traders
that there was nothing in the market.
Their tentative operations largely
ceased atler that and the market
lapsed into stagnation more profound
than anything'' that has ben witnessed
efore this summer. The holiday In
prospect at the end of the week is a
factor in repressing speculation.
A favorable impression was made
by the resumption of construction
work said to have been made by the
I'll ion Pacific. Wage settlements an
nounced by the ' American Sheet and
Tin Plate Company had a like Influ
ence. Much attention is given to
current discussion in the financial dis
trict to the alternative of wage reduc
tions of a rate of advances which
it is believed will be forced on rail
roads by the shrinkage in their earn
ing power. The maintenance of the
Anaconda divdeind seems to be ex
pected. Funds were offered in abund
ance for loans on time wit li very light
demand. The closing day of the fiscal
year was the occasion of the 2 p:-!'
cent call loan rate. The days price
changes were mostly small decline--',

A iW ice which will kuvc Cm auto

is the automatic lire pump recently
introduced by a western firm. This
pump is so) fashioned tint it may be
fastened to any urtiUety wheel, and
the lnnating operation is i i'l oraicd
by the turning ,;f the whe- 1. so that
the tire may be inflated while the car

of a plunger pump that is f,-!ened
to one of the spokes, with a rubber
tube connecting wi'ii the tire valve.
The pump is operated by means of an
eccentric arrang laent which surround.-,
the whet 1 b ib, and one mem
ber of the ih vice is held against rota
tion by a cord widt h may be fas-.cnrl
to the mud guard or gome other fixed
portion of the car abo-ve the wheel.
The apparatus is cquipiied with a
cut out appliance, by which it is
thrown out of action after a pressure
of 110 pounds is reached, and tho
jmmp is said to be capable of main
taining the pressure at that point in
the face of a Pak of any ordinary
proportions, so that it is possible to
make a run home or for help in the
event of a punctuie without the neces

PROFESSIONAL EATERS.
Indiana Emplay Men to Consume
Food For Them.
One of the most striking customs of
the past that are preserved by the
lu bans ol today is found among the
tribes on the Devil's Lake reservation
in North Dakota, says the Hygienic
Ca.ette. Supervisor Wright, of the
Indian service, gives the following
account of this peculiar practice:
'From time Immemorial the Devil's
Lake Sioux have adhered to an old
custom in regard to the trt itmeat of
the guest. According to their eti
quette it is the bound, ii duty of the
host to supply his guest with all the
food he may desire, ami as a rule tna
apportionment set before the visiting
Indian is much in excess of the car
pacify of a single man.
"f.ut. by tin.! same custom the guest
is obliged to eat all that Is placed be
fore him, else he grossly insults his
entertainer. It was found that this
practice would work a hardship, but
Instead of dispensing w it li the custom
the Indian vjjelho.l of reasoning was
applied. Mt4 what is known as tho
profernotial eater was brought to the
front. '
"While the guest is supposed to eat
all that is placed 'before him. it serves
the same purpose if his neighbor as
sists in devouring the bountiful re
past, the main object being to havo
the plato clenn when the meal Is
finished.
"It Is not always practicable to de
pend upon a neighbor at table to as
sist in getting away with a large din
ner, and in order to Insure the final
consumption of the allotted portion,
visiting Indians call upon these pro
fessional eaters, whose duty It is to
Sit beside them through a meal and
cat what the guest leaves. The pro
fessional eaters are never looked upon
In th" liht of guests, but more as
traveling companies with a partiru
lar duty to perform.
"These eaters receive from $1 to S2,
and even $3 for each meal where fhey
assist. It is stated by tho ag"rit at
the Devil's Lake reservation that onu
of the professional eaters hi been
known to dispose of 17 pounds of !"of
Bt a sitting That they are capable of
eating an almost fabulous amount I
mself can testify."
