MONDAY EVENING, OCT, IB, 1003,
Dulls and Hears.
Mr. William H.Vanderbilt thinks that
the bears In llie stock inarket nre very
ball men ; which makes It clear that Mr.
Vanderbllt himself Is net at present a
bear, It be Is expressing his real senti
ments about these creatures; as he no
doubt Is, slnce his son William has ceme
te grief as a bull, and his father's sym
pathy gees out te him. Mr. Yanderbllt,
senier, has net a well established repu
tation for truthfulness, but the circum
stances new glve assurance that he
speaks from the bottom of his heart in
anathematizing the bad bears. The
hard fact, hewever, is that the bears In
stocks de a greater geed te the cemmu
nity at large than de the bulls. .Mr.
Vanderbllt says that his son, who was
left two millions of dollars by his grand
father a half a down years age, lins
Increased that sum te eight millions ; he
has dene this by bulling stocks, net by
any productlve Industry. I3utthe higher
theprice of stocks thegreater is the charge
te the community. Fer these stocks nre
valued according te their dividend pro
ducing capacity, if the price of stocks
could be kept up te the figures te which
they arc sent by the bulls, the merchants
would have te pay the piper. Rut they
cannot be kept thore because they cannot
earn tlie necessary dividends ; and they
cannot earn these because there is tee
much competition. There is net enough
business.fer instanco,te go around among
the railroads and keep them nil busy.
The country suffers from an excess of
facilities for doing business. The value
of the plants gees down. The stock of
railroads that are capitalized at a sum
greatly exceeding their cost must seek
their proper level. The bears In stocks
nre net the creators of the downward
ceurse of the market. They would seen
be tossed by the bull3 if they were net
following the ceurse of real values. Ne
doubt their efforts facilitate the falling
tendency, and may carry it below the
proper level , but it wilt seen rebound
and settle down at a proper figure. Mr.
Gould and Mr. Vanderbllt and
ether stock operators who have
been givinir of late years
higher value of stocks than was Ieglti
mately theirs for the purpose of stealing
a profit from these who they could per
snnde te n belief in their false declara
tiens of value, are the causes of the pres
eat depression. They have been found
out. They bought stocks of little value
and watered stocks of mere substance,
swelling out their financial proportions
and selling them te these who were de
celved by their fair appearance of health
That game has been stepped. They have
bien caught at It. Mr. Gould, who
bDught Tem Scott's Texas Pacific at
fifty-fiveand sent the stock te somewhere
about ninety, sees it new selling at near
twenty. Ths Western Union, which he
undertook te swell, has never responded
very kindly te his most energetic efforts,
and he new has, and for a long time had,
te stand under it te keep it from going
down into the depths. Mr. Gould has
net been able te take that recess from
the labors which, In anticipation of a
year age, he ordered a steam yacht te
enable him te enjoy in foreign travel.
Ne doubt he would have liked very
much te get away from a market that
was no longer susceptible te hi3
pecular manipulations ; but he tar
ried tee long. A market that has
failed te respond te the ardent desire of
the greatest capitalists interested in
It, and fail3 in spite of their efforts te
sustain it, is net likely te get down be
low its proper level. It is mere probable
that it will be held above it. stocks
much as they have fallen, are net new
generally intrinsically worth what they
are selling for. There is ample room for
further shrinkages if present valuis,
guaged by their dividend producing
power, is te be the test of their market
price.
The Ohie Itepubllcans.
One of the me3t remnrkable causes
ascribed for the defeat of the Republi
can party in Ohie 13 that Garfield's
friends meant te serve notice upon the
party of their slain chief that they did
net want the man whom Edmunds said
"drew a prize in the lottery of assassina
tion" te be elected his successor. This
is farfetched indeed. When Jehn Sher
man gave out that if Ohie went
Republican an Ohie Republican would
be the next nomlnce of his party for
president, certainly he did net make
Arthur's candidacy the issue of the
campaign. Ne such idea entered into it
at all, and as for Garfield he seems te be
utterly forgetton. His name was no tails
man in the Ohie campaign ; It Is
scarcely whispered even in Clevelnnd
nnd then net always with respect, sad te

is no inlluence at nil In Ohie politico
unless it be supposed thut the friends of
Jehn Sherman cherish the notion that
Pester nnd Garfield betrayed him at
Chicago ; and new when Pester's for
tunes were nt stake Sherman's friends
gave him the knife. Hut this is net
likely. Per the occasion Pester and
Sherman were lu the same- beat ; they
rede the wave together and went down

.Matthew Arneld sailed from Liverpool

viewed lilm regarding his visit te America.

-Mr. Arneld's irlcid, Irving, will atteud te
the business details of his journey. His
operations will oemmonco lu New Yerk,
whero under the title of "Number," he
will deliver n social ntul political lecture.
In Bosten Mr. Arneld will begin with a
lecture en "Emersen," which he may
fellow up by auother ou " Literature ntul
Science." Should these draw Mr. Arneld
may remain in America till the middle of
February, when he will be obliged te re
turn te England. He hopes te visit all the
leading towns iu the union nud In Canada
It was easy te single the eminent poet

niuuth, brown mutton chop whiskers and
hair almost jet black, carefully trimmed,

ly ever his bread but net particularly
lefty ferhe.ul.
The habit of pouring ever books has
made him slightly beut, but he seems a
great deal younger than his real age aud
is evidently iu his intellectual pnme.
Leading the way te the waiting room
and apologizing for having te hurry off sj
iiuickly, Mr. Arneld said that he had long
had a desire te lsit America, and, having
been assured t'at his visit wuul 1 be agree
able, hi' had leselved touke the opper
tututy cil'ered him.
"I am a pejr man," said he, "only a peer
schoolmaster, with a small government
apportionment, and could never hue
afforded te take the journey in the
ordinary way, se I am preparing a few
lectures which I hepe will be successful
and glve me the mcaus of retirlng, for I
should like te write one or two mero
books.
" I hear, by the bye, that Americans are
getting tired of lectures. De you think it
is true "
"There are lectures ami lectures," was
the answer. " May I ask what subjects
you have chosen?''
" 1 wish them te contain the sulutaoce
of my essays," said Mr. Arneld. " I shall
begin in Xew Yerk with a political and
social lecture. In liosten I shall speak of
Emersen. Then I should like te say
semethtug hke what I have already said
in 'Culture aud Anarchy,' if the stud
weufd suit America."
" De you go out with any proceuccived
notions about America ?"'
"Oh, dear, no'" replied Mr. Arneld.
"I have everything te learn, and, as a
friend remarked U me net long since,
hewever, much I learn, I shall, doubtless
overlook mero."
" Yeu are perhaps aware that I let off
seme little thing about America iu the
Xtnettenth Ctntury last year which excited
seme comment at the time. De you
think my having written it will stand iu
my way ? It was a trifie hard, but an
American writer, who published another
article seen after, was still harder."
The correspondent did his best te reas
sure Mr. Arneld en this point, but he still
seemed anxious aud also appeared much
worried lest his manner of delivery might
be against him.
lletr Ulcktni anil Thackeray Dlil
"I don't knew whether Thackeray and
Dickens read their lectures in America
or said them by heart," said he. "Dung
ling or stumbling would, of course, never
de ; but I don't nee hew I could avoid re
ferences te notes, for I am always desirous
te express my meauin correctly."
The correspondent then turned the
conversation te American literature Mr.
Arneld expressed great liking for Henry
James, both as a man and as a writer.
He approved his literary method, his
"crisp, clear English." and said :
"He is quite froe from the great faults
of the French novelists te whom some
people likened him. Thore is nothing
objectienablo iu his book?. They can be
put into anybody's hands."
"Lately," continued Mr. Arneld, "I
have been reading Howells' works a geed
deal, with much pleasure. His ' Lady of
the Arosteok' is delightful, and strikes
me as his best weik."
Reversing the natural order of things
Mr Arneld then began te question the
correspondent about American journalism.
"I balievc," ha said, " the Herald holds
a position in America equal in impertance
te that of the Londen Timei In England."
Just then happening te glanca at the clock,
Mr. Arneld saw It was time te be starting.
The correspondent wished him a prosper
eus journey, and a minute after the apestle
of "swoetness and light" was whirled
away in a Pullman car with Mrs. Arneld
aud his daughter.

echer did net play ei the uine iu the
second day's game at Alteena. It is uet
known why he was bid off for thore is net
a player en the nine who has had as few
errors as he this year. OldtieM, who never
played the position, aud did net want te,
was put in.
The "Only" Nelau, who has been play
ing en the Northwestern Isague, arrive 1
in town yesterday morning, cemiug with
the Ironsides from Alteena. He is a well
known pitcher who has beeu iu nome of
the finest clubs in the country. He will
likely umpire this afternoon.
A great many pcople were under the im
pression that the handsome banner carried
in the Athletic parade was the champion
ship pennaut. This is a mistake. The
banner w.-w the gift of admiring friends.
The pennant will net be awarded until the
association meeting in December.
The Carllsle club disbanded last week.
Thn association finds itself in debt about
$100. but this is a small item wheu com
pared with the jjlery of the championship
of the valley, and the ameuut will be
speedily raised. Messrs. Leary, Smith,
Kelly, i arrell and ilraent left for their
respective homes. Leary will play with
the Hartferd next year and Wilment with
ttie Allegheny. The ethers have made no
engagements.
The Ironsides played their second game
iu Aitoena en Saturday, and were defeated
by the scere of 7 te 3. Manlove, who was
umpire, called the game after eight
innius had been played, as the Alteena
club claimed that it was tee dark te con
tinue. The Lancaster people complain of
this. They allcge that it was plenty light
enough te have finished the game, but
the Altoenas wero afraid te go en, as the
Ironsides had a geed chance of winning.
The umpiring of Manleve in the last
game at Alteena was fearful and he gave
the Ironsides no show whatover. His
decisions were se rank that even the play
ers et the Alteena nine dropped te him.
McCIeskey, of Harrisburg, was citchlng
and when ene of the Irenmdes was at the
bat and complained about the umpire he
said "Yeu are getting a rough deal, hut
you will have te stand it." He knew that
t was wrong and was net ashamed te say
se as he had little te oxpect from the
Alteena club. It is little wender that the
Johnstown nine always complained of
Alteena, and the majority of our nine be
fere leaving home said that they would
no be allowed te win the third game out
of five between the clubs.

Tlllotneii'n play ' llelniunt'4 llrldn."
The ntidloiice which assemhed In Fulton
opera heuse Saturday ovening te witness
the presentation of J. K, TillutneuV new
play, " llelmeut's Hrlde,'' was a very
small one, but It wati also qulte enthusias
tic. That It was ple.ised with the piece
while its rendition was in pregti'ss is cer
tain And yet Mr. Tllletmm'n latest ollert
may Judiciously be classed nmeiig semu
veiy valueless dramatic pru.soutntleiis. It
has n semblauce or plot, which Is often
lest sight of, though It crops out
sullleieiitly te develop the fact that
right is about te become trium
phant evor wrong, nud the oppreaHcd In
nocent iclleved of all his hnrrewiug nu
guish by n most happy timile. This Inco
herence of plot is net ntoued for by
the dialogue, which is often vapid and Is
never brilliant, and, what is less easily
fetplvcti.it drags tediously iu various parts,
which fault even the several sensational
Incidents cannot brighten up for any con cen con
tiuueiis period. Thure is 110 secret in the
reason why it catches popular fancy, when
It is remembered that the gallery gives
most of the appla ise, and the judicious
grlove for a lack of opportunity te p.cseut
their merited approbation. Thern are seme
startling situations, which frequently are
interesting, but generally nj improbable
that this glaring defect predominates ever
much of the geed that the play possesses,
the nmetint of which 011 the whole is net
exceedingly gicat. Vet as Hcak as the
play is, it could bear in soveral parts nbler
Interpreters. Wrgit Sluntyemery is the
heroine, and Marie Prescott essays the
role. Miss Prescott has net undo a felicl
tens (.election in cheesing the play or
character. She is essentially au emo
tional actictiS, but her delineation of
Vtrjit, albeit it is n pait calling Inte
play emotional ability, is net pleasing.
Miss Prescott has somehow gottheldea
that she is able te secure the plaudits aud
the praise of au audience mero by actions
than by words, and In htr rendition of the
rele she presumes te bold the spectators in
breathless susticnse, by prolonged sup
pression of emotion. She lamentably falls
in this, because nhe has net sulUcieut his
trionic genu us te depict suffering, pathos
and anger by action alone with
that iiatiirnlucsH that is the result
et Intelligent training and high
dramatic ability. The ab.sonce of
adequate artistic method in her acting
militates against the talent she has of
emotional Kiner, and cempels her te rely
mero upon a studied attitudu or a gesture
than upon the ability te present the epi
sodes in her part with that fully realistic
and truthful personatien which alone is
the happy indication of great acting. In a
rele that calls for lighter sentimentality
than that of Wxjtc Montgomery,
she could de as well, if uet bol bel
ter. As CUirtnre lltlmuut, Mr. Eben
Plympteu gives a manly and strong deltn deltn deltn
oatieu of thn character, but he would be
mero fortunate and mere sousible if he
would mark his false inllectieu upon
certaiu words and the habit of halting in
the middle of , sentence without auyjast
reason whatover. The remaiuder of the
company are varlunsly able in their re
spectieo parts.
