Active Workers

Will H. Romey (on the left), and John Hasemeler, captains respectively of Divisions Three and Five in the business men's committee of the Y. M. C. A. seven-day financial campaign, are two prominent workers in the fight to liquidate the association debt and secure an endowment fund. Their rival teams are having a close race for second position among the business men, as both have secured approximately $1,500.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, Jan. 29. Inertia on the Stock Exchange continues unbro-, ken. On the one hand security holders will not sell because of belief in bet ter times ahead when current political uncertainties, domestic and foreign. are over. On the other hand buyers are Holding aloof for the better re turns which pending new issues are expected to offer. This stand-off be tween buyers and sellers has been further Illustrated by the attitude of

large corporations in need of funds, i General business continues very quilt is known that banking houses had et. Conditions are sound, but conservabeen holding back such offerings for tism and retrenchment prevail in near-

chasing power. It may be that among the smaller class of investors there is less money than usual for - salting down purposes, but there is sufficient buying capacity among large individual corporation investors to take care of a reasonable amount of really desirable offerings. There has been one other rather important obstacle to good Investment buying, and that is the insistence of purchasers upon better returns. Capital now demands larger profits upon new ventures, an attitude which at first sight seems inconsistent with the glutted condition of the money market. Money, however, may be cheap for temporary purposes, but vestment requires and seems able to secure better returns. Capital also wanta larger profits, because those with fixed Incomes are compelled to secure higher rates of Interest of dividends in order to meet the increased cost of living. This week several new bond issues of importance have been made at rates which prove such assertions. Where 4 per cent used to be an acceptable return upon high-class bonds, 5 per cent is often now demanded. Desirable issues have been made recently at about a 6 per cent basis. It is worthy of note that in all the new issues thus far offered little or no stock has been offered. This continued preponderance of bonds In new issues is significant. Whether it is a mark of general distrust or not, it means a piling up of fixed concern in event of any widespread business depression. - The stock market was further unsettled by the expected reduction in St. Paul dividends. For years this stock has been upon a 7 per cent basis, but it was known that last year's net results did not warrant a continuance of this rate. Union Pacific has also been weak owing to less favorable reports of earnings, the operation of the road having been materially distributed by labor difficulties. Developments con cerning the New York,New Haven and Hartford have also exerted an unsatisfactory Influence. This property, for many years considered - one of the strongest in the country, has been brought to the verge of difficulty by the attempt to establish a practical monopoly of transportation throughout New England, paying extravagant pri ces for competing properties and find ing Itself saddled with run-down prop erties having Indifferent earning ca pacity. The Steel securities were also affected adversely by Investigations at Washington, which tended to show that the company had been making excessive profits. Little concern Is shown about the tariff, the company being practically independent of protection. The House may favor the new bill, but the action of the Senate and the President is uncertain. The reports of a slackening in demand for iron and steel products also tended to weaken values. Altogether the stock market wore a somewnat uncertain appearance.

The Story of the Duel Between Hamilton and Burr. The story of the Hamilton-Burr duel Is tragic In its brevity. The little party of five the principals, their seconds and the surgeon was on the ground not long after sunrise. Tbe preliminaries were soon arranged. As Pendleton. Hamilton's second, gave him his pistol he asked, "Will you have the hairspring set?" "Not this time," was tbe significant reply, and then the men faced each other. According to the best authorities upon a disputed subject. Burr fired at the word. At the report Hamilton started forward with a convulsive movement, reeled, involuntarily discharging bis pistol into the foliage above him. and fell headlong. Burr, with an expression of pain upon his face, sprang toward him, bnt Van Ness, bis second, seized blm by tbe arm and hurried him down the bank and into their boat Hamilton, being lifted up, revived for a moment and gasped, "This Is a mortal wound, doctor." Relapsing again into unconsciousness, he was again revived by tbe fresh air of the river. "Pendleton knows," he said, trying to turn toward bis friends, "that I did not inteud to fire at him."

OF . C. A. TO BE SUCCESS Today, the Next to the Last in Fight, to Lift Debt and Secure Endowment Fund, Was Profitable. (Continued from Page One) $500 to the campaign, while his family would add $120 to this amount. Several stories of how the poor were most loyal in subscribing to the campaign, were related in the reports. . Today, said S. EL Swayne, was the largest day of the fight except the first, and was well above the daily average of $3,678. "I think we'll pull out because we have to, now that we are this far along in the campaign," asserted E. M. Haas. "Things are in pretty good shape, and if tbe men work hard in the next 24 hours, we will win." Ready for Hard Work. Mr. Haas seemed to voice the universal sentiment of the 150 men present at the luncheon, for all were ready to get down to hard work in the final hours. That the success or failure of the whole week's work now rests on the time devoted by each campaigner was started by more than one speaker, and the men were exhorted to work hard so as to prevent failure at the last moment. With the announcement that the "card restriction" was off, and that the entire city was open to any solicitor, M. C. Williams advised the teams to "get after the employes." He asserted that a trip through the large factories tomorrow morning would bring in several hundred dollars just through subscriptions from 25 cents upward. According to Williams' advice, every establishment in the city employing more than 25 men, will be canvassed 'before the close of the campaign. That the expense of the campaign, and the failure of many to make good their pledges, would necessitate the raising of every possible dollar, was stated by S. E. Swayne and M. C. Williams. The two speakers agreed that if every one of the 150 men worked hard and brought in a grand total in excess of So0,000 tomorrow, they would hare enough to turn over $50,000 clear to the association. CHARITY. How difficult it is to be wisely charitable to do good without multiplying the sources of evil! 'To give alms is nothing unless you give thought also.- A fitde thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.

FAMILY LIFE TOO SEGREGATING, SAYS SHAW

You Can See It for Yourself on Any Block in Town The Disillusion Incident to Seeing Too Much of Each Other.

BY C8THER GRIFFIN WHITE. "I discover a serious truth and then proceed to treat It with all the levity possible," says Mr. George Bernard Shaw or something to that effect. Certainly Shaw is always amusing. And never more so than in his various prefaces to "Getting Married," of recent publication. "Home life," says Shaw, "as we understand It is no more natural to us than a cage is to a cockatoo. Its grave nature to the nation lies in Its narrow viewa, its petty tyrannies, its false social pretences, its endless grudges and squabbles, its sacrifice of the boy's future by setting him to earn money for the family when he should be In training for bis adult life, and of the girl's by making her a slave to sick or selfish parents. "Its unnatural packing Into little brick boxes of little parcels of humanity of Ul-aasorted ages, with the old scolding or beating the young for benavlng like young people, and the young hating and thwarting the old for behaving like old people, and all the other ills, mentionable and unmentionable, that arise from excessive segregation." Certainly there is a lot of nonsense talked about the beauties and benefits of "home life." The truth is that there never was a house, or palace, for that matter, big enough for two people all the time. No one can stand any other one without intermission. No woman can endure a man "round the house" continually. No matter It she loves him to death. Ten to one, however, she doesn't. Loving people to death doesn't last long. Its not in human nature to keep it up. The healthy body calls for a varied diet. The healthy mind for a varied repertoire of emotions. Love making at judicious and excessively remote intervals may be charming enough. But every day It palls. And a reaction sets in which finds vent in cold analysis of the loved one. Here is the point at which trouble starts. If you weren't living in the same house you wouldn't see the loved one save on parade. But you see her in the cold, grey light of morning. Nobody can lobk nice every day. In a book that had great vogue a few years ago, a father is made to say to his son that when he got married to marry a pretty woman for even the pretty ones had their off days. It annoys you to see the loved one's defects.. For as time progresses the off days become more numerous, not only because of the progress of time but because the loved one has become used to you and Is also exasperated by your defects. She doesn't care very much any more anyway. She wonders why you have that disagreeable habit of jingling your keys W ICc AND WEDNESDAYIE

She stands the latter as long as she can. Then says pettishly "Don't!" Conscious of extreme rectitude you say "Don't what?" "Oh. don't beat the table with the celery." "I didn't know I did." you say coldly. "Well you do Its a 'habit of yours I wish you'd get over." You smile in a superior manner. "I'm sure, my dear, if it bothers you. I'm sorry ' "It sets me crazy!" cries the loved one. j m sorry, you repeat, giving , the table a final whack just to show your Independence, "but. If you'll permit me, my love, I know of nothing that sets my teeth on edge like the way you drink your tea " "I hope," she Interrupts, "that I am too well bred to drink tea Improperly." "Oh, I didn't mean that, of course, only you have a way of sticking out . your little finger when you pick up a cup which is " "Really ! Why don't you write a book on etiquette?" she observes sarcastically. "I thought I'd let you do it," you aay with a ghastly attempt at jocularity, seeing an opportunity for escape. "I never would have supposed," says the loved one, "that you had such a mean, nasty temper. If I'd dreamed of It I never would "Have married me," you say, rising. "How well you read my thoughts," she cries, grabbing up the tea tray and making for the nether regions. With which you fling out of the door. You dine at your club and think regretfully of your bachelor days. The loved one telephones Sal to come up to dinner and congratulates her on her free and untrammelled state. "If I had it to do over again f" exclaims the loved one. "Thank God I'm out of it!" cries Sal. Then they spend the evening abusing the men. In the meantime you, rather ashamed of yourself, stealthily let yourself In with your night-key. To your amazement you hear sounds of extreme hilarity from the library. You peep in and are joyfully welcomed by the loved one and Sal who having . enjoyed themselves so thoroughly raking the men fore and aft, and now having entirely exhausted the subject, are glad to see you.
