(Hia suffering was so that be or dered tlhe Highway Department ctiauf teur to negotiate the side of the moun tain in the department machine against the chauffeur's wishes and hotter judg ment. On that very hill Commissioner Taylor's machine slipped a non-skid chain and the occurpauts of the ear, including the Commissioner and 'Mayor KoyaJ, had to push the car the rest of the wa.v up She mountainside. •While this operation wa« on. the Lynch car approached the hill and the chauffeur stopped. It looked like poor walking and the Commissioner ordered Hia machine to go up the hill. It did not overturn, as the chauffeur predicted would !be the case Twenty minutes in the woodLand tract brought the party to <the tree se lected and, after Mayor Royal took sev eral cuts at itj a regular tree-chopper made short wi*k of the joJa. A six- horse team will bring tihe tree to this city later. Charley Sellers, former Sheriff and genial host at the Dauphin 'hotel, saw the party go through on the outward journey and prepared for them on the return. It was steaming ihot clam i soup—and s*ioh soup, with chicken giz zards in it. It touched the spot and, j despite the gizzards, it was eagerly gob i bled up.

FfNANCE STOCK MARKET OPENING | SHOWS BUSINESS NARROW ; Interstate Commerce Commission's De cision Has Apparently Spent Its i Force as Price Changes in the Early Dealings Indicated This Morning By Associated Press. New York, pec. 19, (Wall Street- Price changes in to-day 's earlv dealings suggested that yesterday's Interstate Commerce Commission decision has spent its force, for a time at least. The opening was exceedingly narrow with ?n-I volume of business, mostly in 100-share lots. Canadian Pacific and its subsidiary, ' '6oo,'' were prominent tor one point advances, with two points for Delaware and Hudson. These were partly offset by fractional declines in some of the better known shares. !Bv the end of the first half hour a firmer tendency was noted. Trading dragged along for the bai lee of the session, the market develop ing no special feature. The overturn was the smallest of any day since the resumption of operations, many specula tive all ares being unquoted. The clos ing was irregular. The only notaible featnre of to-day's two-hour market wae its extreme nar rowness and dullness Interest again converged albout the Interstate Com merce Commission's decision, but that even had only a passring influence upon the stocks of railroads directly affect ed. Some earlv gains were lost in the final dealings.. Bonds were steady. Summary of the Week New York, Dee. i9._The most im portant event of a wdek replete with interesting developments was the de cision of the Interstate Commerce Com mission to grant a Ave per cent, rate in crease to the eastern railroads. The an nouncement of the •commission's action was made early yesterday at a time when stocks were manifesting their greatest weakness. It was effective in arresting the decline and 'bringing about some material recoveries. Trading in the full list of stocks approved by the exchange began on Tuesday and was accompanied by a more or less irregular movement. Prices moved upwards smartly at the outset, •but noon receded on moderate offer ings. There appeared to be a small in vestment demand, but this was offset by persistent short selling, Sentiment was rather more cheerful until the lat ter part of tihe week when reduced div idends by such important railroads as Michigan Central, Louisville and Nash ville and Atlantic Coast liine were an nounced. The foreign situation also helped to dampen the ardor of the ."bull side. Conditions In the steel trade were unchanged, except that some increase of foreign business is expected early in the coming year. The larger manufac turers are considering ttheir wage ached i ulee for that period, with indications of a redaction. The foreign trade situation •continues to favor this country, large ly as a result of increased «oW«n ex ports. NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE QUOTATIONS. Furnished by H. W.

Philadelphia, Deo, 19. —-Senator» Penrose, McNiuhol and Vare failed yesterday, to carry out their program to slate the Spealter of the next House of Representatives, and prospects brightened considerably for a battle over the position at the 'Republican caucus on January 4. The conference scheduled for the day was hurriedly called off during the morning and no reasons made public. In some quarters it was stated that the leaders feared the resentment of OovernoT-eleet Brumbaugh against this resort to old-fa«bio»od methods of bossism. In other circles it was report ed that the meeting was c,adled off to avoid the direct protest of Sonatoi Vare against the selection of Richard J. Baldwin and thus stave off a threat ened factional light. Senator Penrose announced during tho day thiat he waf in an agreemont with Senator Olivei and other western State leaders by I whirfh the Speakership would go to thl country districts. To this announce, ment, Senator Vare later oiguifieantlj' declared that the "city or country ' iasue had no place in titan Speakership question and that he would support William H. Wilson if he should dcclar« his candidacy. Values la Exhaust Steam A common error among plant owners is to ascribe undue economy to tthe heat that may 'be carried in water resulting from tho condensation of steam. Thev conversely greatly underestimate the heat carried in exhaust steam. As a matter of fact, the heat in a pound of water at 212 degrees is only 380 Brit ish thermal units reckoned" above the freezing point, whereas in a pouhd of steam at the same temperature the heat units number 1,160. Hence if this steam is condensed in a radiator it gives out 970 heat units, and the drip will contain 180 heat units.—Engineer ing Magazine. 13
