I Washington, Aug. 2. The army edlcal olllcers .are much pleased ith the results of the precautions hlch have been taken, to preserve ie health of the troops In the seven racentratjon and Instruction camps, here thoy are now massed. Some me before the camps were occupied he army surgeons and quarter mas ks arranged for speclnl npparatus equip them with hygienic sewer- b and water supply departments. he system was a thorough one and hvolved the purchase and installa- lon of the latest methods of camp bnvenlences. Tho results have !een observable on every side. here was some criticism of these orangements on the ground that It lould not preserve the element of uergency which would be encoun- ;red by troops suddenly ordered Into ie field. Of course, In time of war, ie mobilization of a large body of jldlers would have to be at places here the conveniences and comforts ere Improvised, perhaps In great laste, and with Inadequate facilities.

Weekly Financial Review. New York, Aug. 4. The keynote f the advance In prices during the ast fortnight has been undoubtedly ae to tho bullish attitude of the tandard Oil party. Mr. Rogers dec- iratlon at the annual directors' !etlng last week, and Mr. Rocke ller's remnrks at tho St. Paul 'feting Thursday, did much to de- Iae the poslton of tho Stnndnrd Oil roup toward the mnrket. Hereto- we doubt as to the position of pndard Oil had more to do with tho liuidatlon which culminated on the 3th Inst than the Russian situation any other outside factor.

While the St. Paul financing and fte Amalgamated dividend rate has rQ settled for the time being, there p other matters pressing for set- Hment which may affect prices In next fortnight, among them be- 35 the declaration of a dividend or pock distribution to the stockholders Southern Pacific, and a possible -"ease in Union Pacific dividend i1- These, touether with the dement of tho United Stntes Steel pporatlon of earnings for tho sec f8(1 Quarter, will be tho eoverninK fttors in tho stock market for the- 1 t ten days.

It seems very probably now that Secretary Shaw's estimate of the treasury deficit for July at ?15,000, 000 was too high by about $5,000, 000. Revenues promise to exceed those of July, 1905, by over $5,000, 000, while expenditures so far have been about the same as for tho cor responding days of July last year. There is thus Indicated the possi bility that after the extraordinary expenditures of July are over, there may be nn accumulation of surplus revenue in the treasury, providing tho prosperity continues from which the abundant revenues of tho United States are derived. The success of the Panama bond sale Is due to the Intelligent manage ment of Secretary Shaw, who had at his command the cash resources of the government, to enforce a price for the bonds. When the secretary Issued his call for bids, a pessimistic opinion as to price prevailed In the essentially government-bond-inter-ested market. The secretary ex pressed his desire to realize around 104 for the bonds. The great finan cial institutions who have been close ly associated, in the public mind, with previous government opera tlons.and all but on! on the strictly government bond houses, had no such Idea ns to price. Thoy believed that the 2s of the government were too high, and that they would be selling much lower within a year. They evidenced this by their bids. These bids were nil below the zone of success, and In fact some of .the largest of the Institutions referred to bid below 103, .and wero conse quently shut out. as were also their country correspondents, who follow ed their lead. Hundreds of National banks throughout the country sent in low bids, and were deeply disap pointed in the result. One of the largest government bond houses in the city did not bid at all. Tho wise forecast of the situation by Pick & Robinson enabled them to carry off one-half of the entire Issue. To this, through co-operation with our firm, they have added some six million more, giving them two-thirds of the total amount offered. Tho support of the secretnry naturally does not cease with the receipt of tho bids. The full" success of the operation de pends on the bonds being placed with tho banks. This will speedily fol low, for with fifty millions of govern ment money to be placed by tho sec retary at his option with banks de positing government bonds, the mnr ket price Is held firm. Wo look to see the bonds advance in price Im mediately after the Flsk &RobInson allotment Is placed with banks. This It Is expected will bo accomplished by August 1st, as a large proportion of the wholo amount hns alrendy been sold. Unit ami Fly Casting Contest. Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 4. The International bait and fly casting tournament under tho auspices of the Kalamazoo Bait and Fly Casting club began here this morning. Expert bait and fly casters representing clubs in Chicago, New York, Racine, Toronto and other places aro taking part In the contest, which promises to be of more than ordinary Interest.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of tho mu cuous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it Is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can bo taken out and this tube restored to Us normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafnesu (caused by catarrh) that cannot bo cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, fee. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

Fifteen Millions Arc Tied Up by a Stroke of the Pen. New York, Aug. 4. Throo strokes of a pen may tie up tho estate of Russell Sage so many years In liti gation that the principal beneficiary and executors, who will receive from $SOO,000 to $1,000,000 enclr, will be dead and buried before the final settlement. It is discovered in Sara toga that in the clause to which the testator attached his signature there was an erased date, which apparently ha descaped the scrutiny of any of the heirs at law, satisfied or dissatis fied, with tho $25,000 bequest and to which the attorney for tho executors or attorneys for the estate or widow have not seen fit to call attention. In the fourth, line of tho paragraph over the testator's signature Is an obliteration or erasure on which may depend the validity of the docu ments. The paragraph begins: "In witness whereof I have here with subscribed my name and affixed my seal at No. 2 Wall street, Now York, in the borough of Manhattan," And then follows, "This 11th day of February, 1901 (1900 in flg.ures) in the presence of Edward Townsend and Richard W. Friedman, whom I have requested to become attesting witnesses hereto. "RUSSELL SAGE." An Inventory of tho estnto of Rus sell Sago, begun three days ago by representatives of tho executors, has established to the satisfaction of the executors and lawyers that tho value of the estate is not below $150,000,- 00. In Sage's strong boxes wore found millions of dollars' worth of securities bearing high Interest and guaranteed as principal and income which have been for years unknown to manipulators on Wall Street. One man who was not surprised by tho revelation of Snge's immense hoard is Dr. John P. Dunn, one of the executors. Just before Jny Gould's death, December 1S92, Gould and Dunn. In conversation about Sage, agreed that Sago was the richer of tho two famous mllllon arles. Gould was worth $78,000. 000. In 14 years since Gould's death, Sage's estate has easily doubled. That Sage sought Investment In what 'is called underlying securities was well known on Wall street, but tho extent of his holdincs of such issues will surprise tho street, when the Inventory is filed with tho sur rogate court for tax transfer and assessment. Sago had blocks of bonds nnd stocks In many merged and forgotten railroads. Both tho stocks and bonds of these roads aro guaranteed as to dividend or Interest and prin cipal by the bigger roads which havo absorbed them. Six nnd seven per cent incomo was tho rullnc rnto In the days when these mergers wore mado. Sage had similar luck with tele graph stocks of the American Tole graph and Cable, Gold ' and Stock Telegraph, New York Mutual Tole graph, Empire and Bay State Tele graph and Washington and New Or leans Telegraph, corporations, which built lines in various parts of tho country. These hnvo all boon ac quired by the AVestorn Union and their stocks and bonds nro guaran teed as to interest and principal. Sage owned largo blocks of these securities. Tho Inventory showed that the scheme of nbsorblng small concerns at tremendous valuations was not unknown 20, 30 and 40 years ago. Securities of these smaller companies bear Incomes ranging from 5 to 7 per cent and, of course, interest must be paid before any dividends aro de clared by the company which ab sorbed them. Such underlying In vestment securities aro in high fa vor on Wall street and command premiums. . 0 Athletic Games for Charity. New York, Aug. 4.

"TOPSY TURVY TROLLEY." A New Nerve Racking Importation That Is Startling in Evtrenie. .The Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' United Shows offer more novelty sensations and exclu slvo specialties this season than were over before assembled in a circus program. Beginning with the stu pendous spectacle of "Fighting the Flames," which Involves moro than ono thousand people, tho ring acts listed number more than ono hun dred. Most of these nets nro new to America, and tho artists Interpret ing tho European successes mnke their first appearance hero with these big shows. There are several sen sntlons that hnvo created tremend ous Interest i London, Paris and Berlin, nnd which havo repeated this extraordinary success in America. Salvo's "Trip to the Moon" is n feat of hazard, daring and skill that mocks humnn understanding, nnd tho deeds of Frederick Zobolle, In which he walks upon his hands up a steep spiral stairway to tho apex of tho tent, and then, without relax ing his rigid, Inverted position, claps two frail looking llttlo wheels, and reels with terrific momentum down two steep cables to tho ground, Is of tho same hair raising, stnggcr ing heroism. At no time in his long trip, head downward, does tho sup ple, fearless performer relax his up-sido-down .position, with toes pointed skyward, and body ns straight as a plummet, until he hns mado tho seeming, intormlnablo journey, stop by step, round by round, nnd up the perpendicular height to the vantage point of chango for tho fierce .blood curdllng.topsy turvy trolley ride down the ncuto Incline. The strain upon the arms and bnck of tho performer In this mnrvelous journey head down ward from tho ground to tho highest point In tho canvas dome, and then descending to tho level track, with out break and traveling like tho forks of lightning, makes this athletic achievement the most mnrvelous over witnessed at a public cxhlbtlon in the whole rango of human history.
