Notwithstanding the sharp decline In Taw

from nihterial purchased before the decline.
Only urgent orders were placed at the
blgh level, but the statistical position Is
very strong. One of the best features Is
the export trade, many mills being sold

COOLED BY THE CURRENT
Eronomle and Sanitary Advantagea
of the leeless Refrigerator.
The largest soda fountain In Philadelphia
has been operated for several months, serv
ing patrons with refreshing drinks at a
temperature much lower thnn could be
obtained by ordinary methods of icing, and
yet not a piece of Ice has been used in it.
In other words, after many years of ex
perimenting and at a great expenditure of
money and gray matter, mechanical refrig
eration has been perfected to the point
that It is only necessary to touch, a button
and secure the desired temperature. This
places the soda fountain man, grocer,
butcher and the larger household in a posi
tion of extreme independence of the ice
man. Tlio grocery box of one of the lead
ing grocery stores has been operated In the
same manner, and the proprietor is en
thusiastic about the results obtained. The
operation of the box is iot only more
economical than with tbe use of ice, but
more advantageous In many other ways.
The greatest consideration is the sanitary
cleanliness of the new order and the sim
plicity of its operation.
The process of daily charging the box
with Ice Is one attended by more or less of
a iness. The ice is generally put in the
top and In so doing is broken and the pieces
scattered around Inside the refrigerator
and out. Unclean ice will be quickly the
means of fouling the refrigerator, and under
the most favorable circumstnnces, unless
the interior of the refrigerator is kept
scrupulously clean by frequent and thor
ough attention, the interior will become
tainted, this condition being greatly facili
tated by the moisture always present in
the Interior.
With the electrical refrigeration system
this unwholesome condition is avoided. The
air of the box is colder than Is ever made
by the presence of the Ice and is perfectly
dry. The box Is maintained in a moat de
sirable state of sanitary cleanliness with
very little care and a constant temperature
maintained at almost any desired point.
The electrical refrigerator is practically
a diminutive cold storage plant such as is
In operation in almost every city of the
country at present. The principle is not a
new one, but it is only now that it has
been put in such shape that It could be
operated by one having no technical knowl
edge whatever either of elpctrlclty or of
refrigeration. Heretofore, the small Iso
lated refrigerating plant has been Impos
sible by reason of the fact that Its opera
tion required the superintendence of some
one specially trained for the business, and
this requirement placed this meana of re
frigeration out of the reach of the store
keeper, dairyman, saloonkeeper and other
persona who make use of Ice in moderate
quantities. The new system has been ex
perimentally tried and Its applicability for
these particular uses thoroughly demon
strated. The system Is almost automatic.
The only attention needed Is to turn the
switch throwing the motor Into action at
such time as desired and to throw it off
again later.
As stated above the outfit Is simply a
miniature cold storage plant. The whole
apparatus is contained within the box in a
compartment at one end. It consists of a
motor with the necessary compressors and
other apparatus for cooling the brine. The
part of the refrigerator usually devoted to
the reception of the Ice and generally at
the top, la taken up by a brine tank which
is the cooling medium. With this It is
readily possible to maintain a temperature
lower than that usually secured by the
use cf Ice. It Is necessary to keep this In
stallation In operation only a part of the
day. For Instance, In the grocery store re
ferred to above, the motor is in operation
on an average of eight hours a day. When
the store Is closed for the night the cur
rent Is shut 'off and the cold brine is suffi
cient to keep the temperature almost con
stant until the starting time of the follow
ing morning. This particular refrigerator
has maintained a temperature of 84 de
grees for twenty-four hours without being
In operation.
'This apparatus has been perfected only
recently and Is about to be placed on the
market In two or three different shapes
suited t different purposes to which It la
most likely to be put. The electric supply
companies, ever alert to discover some
means of Increasing the consumption of
current, are calling the attention of their
patrons to the Innovation, and it Is likely
that they will be largely adopted at once.

NEW YORK, Dec. . It "tor market
opened weak and lower, opening quota
tions showing declines of H to 1. Amal
gamated Copper opened at 65, a decline of
1 point from last night, and the next sale
was at 64"4. Erie opened at 87. a loss of
from last night.
Soon after the market opened prices
steadied and in some of the shares there
were good rallies.
1 The opening of the stock market was
attended with but little excitement. The
feeling was rather more cheerful, although
the unsettled conditions Indicated in the
quotations tended to check anything like
aggressive buying for the rise. Repre
sentatives of certain commission houses
were reported to be buying moderately of
the active list, while others seemed to
have a preponderance of selling orders.
There were no indications of forced liqui
dation. Roome traders were not very
active, though seemingly committed for the
most part to the short side. The market
developed marked strength and activity
before the end of the first half hour.
In the curb market Northern Securities
broke shortly after the opening from 123
to 119H. Montreal and Boston Copper,
which bore the brunt of yesterday's panic
on the curb, opened at l'i to 1 lower,

The feverlshness was dlfsipated from the
later market and prices were lifted steadily
upwards on well distributed buying orders.
Here and there the buying looked like a
resumption of pool operations. The rise
over yesterday's closing level ran from a
fraction to 2 points. The Pennsylvania
group was notably strong. The trading
wus not greatly animated, but the advance

BOSTON, Dec. 9. The Boston stock mar
ket opened active and Irregular today.
Amalgamated Copper, which closed last
night at 66, sold at the outset at 67, but
went off almost Immediately to 64. Copper
Range opened at 71, last night's closing, and
then went up lft- United States Mining
declined to 26, and Utah sold at 434, up
H from last night.
Later, Amalgamated sold as low as 62H,
but recovered subsequently when the mar
ket steadied, reaching 68, up two points
from last night. The rest of the market
shared in a slight advance, which devel
oped during active trading.

LONDON, Dec. 9. The effects of yester
day's fall In the stock market were evi
denced at the opening of the Stock ex
change today by general nervousness.
Americana, however, opened firm, at above
parity, subsequently become a little easier,
but quickly recovered, and at t: p. m.
were again above parity.
London financiers who were seen by rep
resentatives of the Associated Press gen
erally expressed the opinion that the New
York market had been topheavy and spec
ulative for months, and that yesterday s
crumbling of prices was considered In
evitable sooner or later.
Although the suddenness of tha fall sur
prised the market here, there was no
panic; In fact there was seme buying at
low prices. The London financiers antici
pate that the recovery will be gradual.
They do not believe that stocks will reach
their former prices nor develop much atay
Ing power for some time.
Decline Atfecta Pari.
PARIS. DEC. 9. Prices on the bourse
opened today and heavy, becoming tur
bulent over the heavy declines in Rio

depression. Toward the close Rio tintos
were heavily offered and the market was
demoralized. Rio tintos went off 44 francs.
There was a sensible reaction, but the
market closed very feeble. Internationals
were affected, particularly Spanish rentes.

Freight Car that Disappeared.
In the recent railroad accident on the
Worcester, Nashua & Portland division of
the Boston & Maine at East Barrlngton,
N. II.. when an extra freight from Nashua
crashed head on into an extra freight from
i Portland that was waiting there to meet
it, a Boston & Maine car on tne train
standing still disappeared and for hours
the efforts of the railroad men to find it
were unavailing.
The accident occurred a little after mid
night. From that time until daylight the
railroad telegraph operator along the line
from the scene of the wreck to Portland
made the wires hot in their efforts to trace
the missing car, as it waa thought that It
might have got uncoupled and Jumped from
the train, or had been left at some station.
The mystery of the lost car was solved nt
dawn, when the car was found driven
completely into a car of the Pennsylvania
railrond. The cars had been telescoped in
such a way that by lantern light they
looked like one whole car, and had thus es
' caped notice.
j The telescoping of these ears was re
garded as remarnaDie, inasmucn as iney
were In the train standing still. 8o tre
mendous was'the shock thnt the engine of
the stationary train was forced back
against the Boston & Maine car powerfully
enough to send it through the Pennsylvania
car. Boston Globe.

We have obxerved the terribly blighting influences of abunes and Indla
cretions In the young; and middle-aged; sapping the vital forces; undermining
the foundations of manhood; clouding the brightest minds and dentroylng all
noble thoughts and aspirations; family circles disrupted and the poisonous
fangs reaching out and blighting even succeeding generations.
There are thousands of partially and totally wrecked constitutions among
young men todav from abuses and Indiscretions In early life. Their weakened
vitality, shattered nerves and exhausted energies tell a pitiable story. Multi
tudes have brought upon themnelves the horrors of a life-long diseaso or weak
ness through excesses, abuses and unnatural dralna, which nap the very foun
dation of life, deHtroylng their health and strength, leaving them a mental,
physical and sexual wreck.
Are you one of the many thousands of WEAK MEN, and do you wish to
be cured? We have devoted many years exclusively to treating this class of
troubles, attended with the greatest success, and we are thus enabled to give
this class of sufferers the benefit of our extended experience in treating dis
eases of this nature. The specialists connected with the Slate Medical Insti
tute are eminently qualified to advise, direct nnd trat such cases. We are
thoroughly conversant with every minute, detail connected with such cases,
and encourage and counsel the natlent by good ndvlco white skill and medi

We have investigated and tested all known methods for the treatment
and cure of private diseases and weaknesses of men, which gives us the right
to Judge between the false and the true between shallow pretention and solid
worth between substance and shadow. Musty theories cannot stand out
against our mode of treatment, agnlnst progressive medical science, new
