The feature of to-day's early stock | market was tho decline to the lowest ! prices of the week by ijoime of the most j active issues, notably j 11. S. Steel. Marked heaviness was shown also by j Southern Pacific, Beading and New Haven. Baltimore and Ohio was a con spicuous exception adding a materisl fraction to yesterday's rise, but react ing later. A 13 point advance in Lack awanna on one transaction attracted some attention. Among s)>ccialties, American Tobacco rose 1-2 points. London pursued its usual course of a lower range for our securities, Cana j dian Pacific being the only striking ex- I ception to the average decline. Except for further declinos in the speculative leaders and a few addi- I tiona! gains among the specialties tfc« market showed no pconounced change : from its opening tendencies. Trans continental issues were lower, Cana- I dian Pac.Lfii' losing « point. There was j continued heaviness in Reading and j Pennsylvania, and Missouri Pacific al j most equalled its recent low price. Steel i ainl Amalgamated failed to better their j early |>ositions. Western Union made I favorable response to its statement of j earnings. Bonds were strong, with a j good demand for convertible issues.

STINE CHOSEN AS THE CHIEF-OF-STAFF IN PARADE Philadelphia Republican club Coming Here in Three Special Trains Mon day to Participate in the Inaugural Parade on Tuesday Congressman William S. Vare, of Philadelphia, was to-day selected as the marshal of the civic division' of the Brumbaugh inaugural parade, to be held here next Tuesday, and will select his aids front the various chubs that will be in line. Dr. Harry M. Stine, of this city, has been selected by General K. DeV. Morell, chief marshal, as his chicf-o staff, and will arrange the list of aids, selecting them from all pnrts of the State. Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, who will command the provisional regiment of the National Ouard, which will head the procession, is now engaged in ar ranging his list of aids. In view of Congressman Vare's ap pointment as marshal of the civic divi sion, it will fall to the lot of his broth er, Senator Kdward S. Vare; to marshal the South Philadelphia Brumbaugh Re publican Club. The inauguration committee to-day received formal notice from Harry Wit tig, secretary of the Philadelphia Re publican Club, t'hat it will participate in the inaugural ceremonies. The headquarters of the clu'b will be at tho Board of Trade buildiug, and it will be marshaled by David H. Lane, Republic an City Chairman. Tho club will leave Philadelphia, from the First regiment, armory, on Monday next at 1 o'clock and take a train divided into three sections, desig nated 'by the colors red, white and blue, from the Reading railroad station. Tho uniform will b<: black, with white spats, buff gloves and canes and high hats, and no one will be allowed in lino with the club unless fully uni formed. j Immediatelv on arriving in 'Harris burg on Monday evening the club will form for a short street parade and sere ' mule Governor Tenor at the mansion. The cars will be occupied as sleeping quarters on Monday night. Among the aids to Grand Marshal Lane are former Senator David Martin. Senator Edward W. Patton, Senator James P. McNichol, Register James B. Sheehan, Congressman John R. K. Scott and many others conspicuous in tlio political life of Philadelphia. On the return the specials will leave the Reading station at 4.30 sharp Tuesday i afternoon. No definite word had been received j this morning frojn the South Philadel | phia Republican Club, which will be marshaled by Senator Edward Vare, but it will come in specials ou the Pennsylvania railroad and arrive here oil Monday afternoon. Tho big banner used by the Phila delphia Republican Club in South Philadelphia during the campaign last fall has been sent to 'Harrisburg at the request of George M. Harry, by Sena tor Vare. T'his morning the banner was suspended across Third street at Walnut and will fly until after the in augural ceremonies. The pictures on the banner have been retouched for this occasion. The early appearance of decorations on buildings in the central part of the city seems to indicate that the business places will bo decorated generally for the inauguration.

FARRIERS AID IN FIGHTING FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE The Value of the Public's Help In Stunping Out the Dreaded Plague Is Especially Markod In Indiana and Michigan Washington, D. C., Jan. 15.—The recent lifting of the foot and mouth quarantines from largo areas previous ly closed and the modification of the quarantines in still other sections has been made possible, federal authorities say, toy the co-operation, not only of the various State officials, but of farm ers and stockmen themselves. Where this co-operation has beeu most in evi dence, progress in the eradication of the disease has been most rapid. The federal authorities have of course con trol over the movement of live stock in interstate commerce only; the local quarantines are established and en forced by the State. Their efficiency de pends in great measure upon the will ingness of the people to submit to the necessary restrictions. Indiana and Michigan are cited as instances of the importance in this re spect of public opinion. In Michigan the first herd was slaughtered om Octo ber 19. Cases of the disease oxisted in fifteen Michigan counties and in eight con in Indiana. In all 330 herds were ! affected. Sixty days later these herds had all beeu slaughtered arod the infect ed promises cleaned and freed from disease. , In the interval there had been only a few scattering instances, half a dozen possibly, of the plague spreading from these different centers of infection to neighboring farms. The pcoplo not only obsorved the quarantine regulations Kut they did all in their power to expedite the' work of slaughter. In many cases they had the ditches in which the animals were to bo buried dug and waiting for the kill ing gangs. As a rule no objection was taken to the appmser's valuation of the condemned stock, which is the more surprising in view of the fiaet that so 'little was generally known of the seriousness of the disease. The farmers did not want to part with their stock. They saw that the sore mouths and feet igrow better and they had had no experience with the after"effects of the pestilence—the constant aborting, the failure to produce milk, the ability to disseminate disease months after" the visible symptoms hiad disappeared. | Nevertheless they accepted the situa tion, hcliping instead of hindering. In only a very few coses was there any attempt to conceaJ the existence of the disease, in fact public opinion was so strongly against this that it was practically impossible to dto so. In one instance a man fod some skim milk from i a creamery to a calf which later de veloped foot and mouth disease. It oc curred to him to kill the calf and say nothing about the matter. The neigh bors. however, obtained some inkling of the facts and notified the authorities. After he had beeu forced fo admit that he had killed the calf tho body was dlug up and unmistakable marks of the disease found upon . it. Within two weeks all the rest of the herd was in fected and had to be killed. In addi tion the owner was fined S2O or so for breaking the quarantine regulations. The sentiment, of the whole community, it should be noted, was against him. In another case in Michigan an in dividual with a weakness 'for dogs of which ho owned five or six ignored' tho regulation which required all dogs to ba tied up in order to provent their pick ing up and spreading the disease. With, him as witn the calf owner it was the neighbors who objected. The sheriff tied up the dogs and their owner paid a fine of $23. A week or ten days aft erwards he was punished more severely by the loss of all his cattle which came down with the disease and had to be slaughtered. There had been no pre vious outbreak in that neighborhood for three weeks. AJthough dogs, as in this case, and chickens unquestionably act as mechanical carriers in spreading the disease, in Indiana and Michigan tho creameries were found to be one of the chief sources of contagion. One of the first steps taken by the authorities was to insist upon the creameries sterilizing the skimmed milk and whey before these were returned to be fed to stock. At the beginning of the campaign in Berrien county, Michigan, there were at least 170 herds infected in an area approximately 18 miles long by 8 miles wide. Of this infection 70 per cent, was traced to skinnmed milk returned bv the creameries. After the order re quiring sterilization went into effect, one establishment allowed itg apparatus tp get out of order and three days went by before it was repaired. Infection In 33 herds was traced to the careless ness of these three days. In Allegan county, again, there was one .small herd affected, the owner of which was one of fifty-nine patrons of a creamery. Though bo delivered milk to it for only one or two .lays this was sufficient to infect 21 herds "and it was considered fortunate that all of the 59 patrons drd not suffer. Prom such experiences as these live stock authorities are more than ever convinced that skim milk should in variably be sterilized. The danger from the foot and mouth disease is of course a passing one. Pre vious epidemic* have been stamped out and there is no reason to suppose that this one will not be. Tuberculosis, how ever, is a permanent menace. Its symp toms are not so immedintely notice able an*) it is thereforo more difficult toftrace the origin of the infection but there is no doubt that it is frequently disseminated in skim milk in the same way that the foot and mouth disease was in tho instances described. Togeth er with the creameries, public sales of live stock have proved themselves most dangerous agents in spreading foot and mouth disease.
