Tblnk People Who Can Afford to Go Abroad Can Pay Fall Fare denj. eral Railway Xews. It is a long look ahead to the business fcf the Paris world's fair in 1900. but already it Is attracting the attention of passenger f fflclal", especially in the West. They have tee a asked to give liberal rates from all Western points to the seaboard, but they do sot look with favor upon the suggestion, and every unprejudiced person must agree that they have sound reason on their side. They say there will be Paris visitors from the West who cannot well afford to pay the regular rates. A cut in railroad fare to the eeaboard will be but a small matter hen the cost of the entire trip is considered, and the railroad men laugh at the suggestion that travel Parisward would be augmented to any considerable degree by a cut of a lew dollars in the cost of traveling from the Mississippi or Missouri valley to New York. The roads would thus be simply donating to the few who do make the trip and can well afford to pay full fare whatever cut is made In rates, and reap no benefit whatever. Commissioner Donald, of the Central Passenger Association, cays he can see no reason why the roads should give reduced fares when the steamship companies are going to put them up. For Eastern Employes Onty. Chicago officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad believe that the pension and superannuation fund created at Philadelphia Monday Is not Intended for the employes of the company operating west of Pittsburg. The employes In Chicago already have what is known as the Pennsylvania Relief Fund. Tne regulations of the fund intugurated by the Eastern branch of the system provide lor the grant of a pension to employes who are retired coinpulsorily at the age of seventy years, or after a service of thirty years, the fund being maintained by the company. The Western fund is maintained by the emploves themselves, and provides for a sick pension. - Passenger Rate Shaky. Eastern passenger rates are In a bad condition. The Chicago-St. Paul roads are held responsible for the trouble. Most of the Eastern men accuse the Western roads with providing ticket brokers in the East with return portions of excursion tickets, the pale of which they claim not to be able to keep pace with. General Xotes. The Central Passenger Association will hold a meeting at Chicago Beach Hotel next Wednesday to consider rates to various conventions. The Santa Fe's business is exceeding expectation. In June the gain was half a million dollars, and for the jear two millions, in round numbers, over the preceding year. Travel Is heavy on all lines in both directions The cheap round-trip rates given to many points are attracting the attention Cf thousands of people who are little given to travel. The establishment of the new Chicago terminal division of the Pennsylvania will necessitate the appointment of a trainmaster and a number of minor officials, none of which have yet been named. The outbreak of yellow fever at Hampton. va., has about killed the passenger business to Newport News and Old Point ComfortThrough freight traffic has not in ny.way been interfered with. The Oregon Short-line's earnings for June were 3K.S7 in excess of those for the same month in 183$. The earnings for the Vear were $7,577,108. or SUCO.Ott in excess r those for the preceding year. There is said to be a large quantity ol rye to move via East St. Louis for ex?ort. and a reduction is being asked for he rates wanted on carload shipments are 32 cents per m pounds to Boston and New lork. 11 cents to Philadelphia and 10i cents to Baltimore. -t,araeV,Bruce' K ,s reported, will succeed V. A. Garrett as superintendent of the western division of the Wabash. Mr. Bruce Is now superintendent of the Chicago terminals, where he ha made a splendid record. Previous to accepting this position he was general fuel agent of the Wabash. General Baggage Master Ferguxon rerrr that-during the month of July there wer handled at the Union Station 73.052 pieces of UzzZt, against lor the same month

last year, an increase of 15.443 pieces. This exceeds the amount handled in any month since the establishment of the office. W. W. Kent, formerly general passenger and ticket agent of the Chicago, Peoria & fct. Louis, has been appointed general freight and paspengc-r agent of the Galveston. Houston & Northern, vice F. S. Yands, resigned. The report of Mr. Stllz. in charge of the union ticket office Pt the Union Station, shows that the business done lr. the past month was the largest In the history of the office, thi receipts from sales of tickets being $22.47.15 more than for July, 1$, and considerably larger, even, than for July, 1S01 The Union Pacific is to double its track from Omaha to Ogden. and has from $7,000.000 to S3.000.000 in sight for doing it; meantime the Turlington is creeping up for an Ogden outlet the Pennsylvania's friendly advance guard, so to speak, keeping up to that other transcontinental route not yet completely established. The Southern Pacific recently prohibited the sale of liquors at its stations, the object being to reduce drinking among Its employes and promote the safety of the traveling public. But the traveling public seems to care more for drinks than for the promotion of safety, and the company has been Induced to rescind its order. The Santa Fe hai decided to establish a regular line of steamers from San Francisco, instead of having its vessels touch at that port en route to the Orient. The line to San Diego will be continued, however. The direct business from San Francisco has grown to such proportions that it can no longer be treated as way business. Superintendent Davidson, of the NewYork. New Haven & Hartford, says his company will not use coke instead of Coal for making steam on its trains. Coke Is too light and bulky and burns out too rapidly, and experiments made show the change is impracticable. A bunker full of coke would not furnish more than one half the power in an equal bulk of coal. General Manager Brown, of the Burlington, says that an agreement has been made between his rod and the Metropolitan Kievated road, whereby the suburban trains of the Burlington can run into the heart of Chicago on the elevated tracks. It is estimated it would, cost the Burlington 11,CCO.vOO to make the connection, and the management say that would not pay. A trust mortgage for ;S5,O00,000, executed to the New England Trust Company, of Boston, by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, was filed in the office of the recorder of Cook county, Illinois, on Tuesday. It secures an issue of bonds about to be made, the proceeds from the sale of which will be. used to enlarge and improve the system. The bonds will be of two classes, registered and coupon, of the value of So.OfM each, or multiples of that sum. They are to run for fifty years, though any part or all of them may be redeemed in thirty years, or on any Interest day thereafter. THE ALCOHOL QUESTION.

Prof. AtTvater's Experiments and the Teaching In the Schools. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The recent experiments of Professor Atwater are of great Interest to physiologists and chemists, since they throw much light upon one of the doubtful questions of physiological chemistry or pharmacology, that of the metabolism of, alcohol In the body. It is a mistake, however, to think, as some people apparently do, that the result of these experiments should change the teaching In the schools In regard to the use of alcohol from a hygienic point of view. The schools teach that the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage is not justifiable under the laws of hygiene. The results of Professor Atwater's experiments do not contradict this teaching. These experiments merely show that the body can derive some energy from alcohol. This does not in itself entitle alcohol to be placed among the food substances in the hygienic sense of the term, which is the sense in which the schools and people in general use the term food. If it did such a violent poison as muscarine, the active principle of the poisonous plants of the mushroom family, would have to be classed with the foods, since it also is oxidized in the body with liberation of its contained energy. To class a substance among the foods we must know that the sum total effects of its use are beneficial to the body. Muscarine is not a food, because its poisonous effects offset the benefit of the energy which it liberates. Alcohol has poisonous effects, as Professor Atwater himself admits. The question as to whether it can be considered as food depends entirely upon whether its beneficial effects are greater than its poisonous effects. Professor Atwater's experiments do not prove this. Until this is proven the burden of the proof is against those who include alcohol in the list of food substances. For scientific experiment so far. experiments upon large bodies. of men in the ordinary conditions and vicissitudes of life, in the armies and in exploring expeditions, where labor and exposure have to be endured, indicate that when the regular "moderation" quantity of alcohol Is taken the harmful effects offset the beneficial ones, and that the drinker is made less fit rather than more fit to work. And stronger still is the reason against speaking, as Professor Atwater does, of alcohol as food in the same sense as sugar, for people generally will Interpret this to mean that it is a food equally to be recommended with sugar and ordinary hygienic foods. This, as Professor Atwater will agree. Is an entirely false idea and one calculated to do much harm, for, while we get our energy from sugar without risk of poisoning, to get energy from alcohol we run great risk of poisoning, and to get any amount, such as would be necessary to support life In ordinary conditions, we must take enough alcohol to poison ourselves seriously. (By poisoning Is meant some harmful effect upon the functions of the body.) The above dangers in the use of alcohol, also the possibility of the formation of the alcohol habit, make its use as a beverage unjustifiable, even if there were no other arguments against it. It is unfortunate that the alcohol question has been brought upon this technical ground. The question of the hygienic status of the use of alcohol does not depend upon the technical question of the definitions of a foodand of a poison. The controversy upon this point has produced statements upon both sides which have given rise in the public mind to great misconception of the truth. Both sides in this technical controversy, will agree in regard to the main question that children fhould be taught to look upon alcoholic liquors as dangerous substances, to be avoided from considerations of health and general welfare. In the present light of our experience and of scientific investigation the schoolbooks must continue to "exclude alcohol from the list of substances desirable as foods and to teach the avoidance of this substance as a cood hygienic rule.

WIDER STOCK MARKET

FOREIGN BUYING CAUSED A!f ADVANCE OX THIS SIDE. Later In the Sesttlon a Reaction Came and Most of the Gains LostLocal Trade Quiet. At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 3g4 per cent.; last loan, 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4155 per cent. Sterling exchange was heavy, with actual business in bankers' bills at Si.S6U31.86H for demand at 54.83 for sixty days; posted rates. H.84Q4.84 and JUTISS; commercial bills, J4.S2&. Silver certificates, Wte'QGic; bar silver, 604c; Mexican dollars, 4Sc. At London bar silver closed uncertain at 27d an ounce. Yesterday's New York stock market, like that of Tuesday, had a period of strength in the morning which gave way before the day was over. The degression was due to the continued prospect of hard money. The early strength had its inception in the disposition of London to buy American stocks, notwithstanding the marking up of the money rate there. The .demand from London was especially marked for Atchison preferred, Louisville & Nashville and Northern Pacific. London sold Anaconda copper. There was a smart upward movement in some of the specialties. Early in the day Sugar went up 24- Reports of the extraordinary earnings in the iron and steel industry gave a firm tone to that group of stocks, and Tennessee Coal had the additional benefit of a report that valuable property was about to be acquired and claims of preferred stockholders were in process of adjustment. The stock In consequence rose 34. The trunk lines were favorably affected by the going into effect of the higher freight rates on grain to the seaboard. The tobacco stocks, the local traction shares, General Electric, Cotton Oil, People's Gas and a few others gained from individual causes. The general appearance cf strength thus Imparted to the market prompted some covering by the shorts who sold Tuesday, thus helping on the advance. The higher prices brought out realizing sales and there was a sharp break in Sugar and Brooklyn Transit, the latter dropping 2hj from the best. Lackawanna suddenly fell away 3 points on rumors cf a projected strike. The grangers were weak on bad crop news. The closing was dull and heavy, generally below Tuesday night's closing. The apprehension over the money outlook was caused by the advance of discount rates in London to a point above the Bank of England's minimum rate. Tne fall In consols was evidence that the Bank of England was again borrowing from the market to repel the demand for gold made probable by the recent downward course of sterling exchange In New York. There was not enough doing in sterling exchange in New York to reflect the influence of this move, but the sterling exchange rate at Berlin, whence London continues to draw geld, rose 2 pfennigs. The bulk of the call loans in New York were made at 4 per cent., and lenders showed themselves indisposed to renew their loans at current rates. Prime commercial paper rates ruled from 4 to 5 per cent. Outside, banks continued to draw on their deposits in New York banks for the purpose of making loans in this market. There has been some outgo of funds from this center to Montreal on account of stringency there. There was activity and strength by the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf firsts. Otherwise the bond market was irregular. Total sales. 12.009,500. United States fives declined in the bid price.

Trade Very Quiet in All Departments Quota tlona Unchanged. Business wore a listless aspect yesterday, largery on account of the excessive heat. People who had goods to sell seemed loath to exert themselves, and purchasers seemed to think some other day would do. Still, there was a fair volume of trade. The season thus far has witnessed the sale of mora goods than were handled last year, and that was, on the whole, a satisfactory year. There Is no change to note in quotations in any line of trade. Business in grain continues very dull. There Is no inquiry for wheat, except from local millers, while local manufacturers are the only people asking for corn. The only cnanfa yesterday was In wagon wheat, which goes oft another cent. The quotations below are furnished by the secretary of the Board of Trade.

A larger business could have been done if the trad had been willing to concede slightly, but holders of wool were very firm and built great hopes on the goods market. The excitement in the couitry Is over. The wools have passed from farmers' hands and the trade la busily occupied in receiving and shipping wools which have been sold during the past few weeks. The tales of the week in Boston amounted to 5,896,000 lbs do mestic and 543,000 lbs foreign, making a total of 6,439.009, against a total or 7.Z71.O0O for the previous week, and a total of 2,434,700 for the corresponding week last year.

SLIGHT RALLY IN WHEAT

SPRING 'ROP ESTIMATES SMALLER A. H DEMAND FOLLOWED. Cables Came Higher Principally on Reported Damage to the Indian Crop Provisions Firmer. CHICAGO. Auff. 2.-A rally In foreign markets and estimates of a considerably smaller spring wheat crop than a year ago stopped the decline in wheat to-day and sent prices to a point Qc above yesterday's close. Coarse grains were also strong, corn closing ic higher and oats c higher. Proviflons advanced IU5c Wheat was firm at the opening, although interest in the market showed but little In crease. Damaging hail and rainstorms wtre reported all over the Northwest, the area affected being placed as high as 500.000 acres, while complaints of drought also came from some sections of the wheat belt. Nortnwest receipts continued to fall off and the pro portion of new wheat arrivals was much smaller than a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reDorted 237 cars, against 385 last week and seventy-five a year ago. Chicago receipts were 118 cars, thirteen of contract grade. Of the local receipts forty-four cars were new wheat. A year ago they were ab?ut 100. Liverpool also showed some advance, due to unfavorable weather in Eng land and parts of the continent. September opened Uc higher ate9g69c, with some demand from shorts. The market eased oft shortly afterward to 6960c, but soon became strong again under a continued moderate demand, advancing to W569c. Report of absence of cash demand caused prices to waver for a time, every little advance bringing out long wheat and encour aging ehort selling. The large Clearances from Atlantic porta, however, a total of nearly 900,000 bushels, caused considerable skepticism as to the entire truth of the re ported absence of export demand, and shorts became heavy buyers. Closing cables were higher. A famine was said to be imminent in inHa nn armxmt of the absence of the uiual monsoon rains. The market became active and advanced steadily to tne ciose. A feature of the newa was the estimate of a rrnn irert. nnttinar the FDring wheat yield at 239.000,000 bushels, or 3S.000.000 bushels less tnan previous esumaies. mo European shortage, compared with previous ctops. was also put at 160,000,000 bushels. Total primary receipts were put at 423,000 bushels. September advanced to 70c and closed firm at 69 ' 70c. Corn was strong and closed at top prices. The weather was favorable and primary receipts were 50 per cent, larger than last year, but clearances were large and the cash demand was good. The seaboard reported 210 ioads taken yesterday. Local receipts were light, 326 cars, and the advance in freight rates was expected to result In a still further reduction. Shorts took the new crop futures freely on complaints of hot weather from Kansas. September ranged from 30c to 30&c and closed sc higher at Oats were firm and higher on a small amount of trading. There was a fair cash demand at higher prices and the seaboard reported moderate export sales. There was considerable changing from September to May at lft2c spread. Receipts were 295 cars. September ranged from 19c to 11) 19-c and closed c higher at 16sC. Provisions were fairly active and irregular. The market, after a steady opening, broke sharply on rumors of further outbieaks of yellow fever. The reports were denied and later the market steadied with grain, but did not show much strength at any time. Demand for lard was good, but slow for meats. At the close September t.ork was 2Vc higher at $8.30, September lard lc higher at Ji.27 and September ribs 5c higher.
