WILDING OUTCLASSES BROOKES. Cihadians Eliminated From Com- petition for International Cup. Chicago, July 25.—Opening of the western tennis championship tourna- ment, today on the grass courts of the Onwentsia Country club at Lake “Forest, overshadowed in interest the final singles matches between Wilding and Brookes of the Australasian Davis cup team and Schwengers and Powell of, the Canadian players. By their déleat in the doubles vesterday the Canadians were put out of the com- petition this year for the international cup, and the two matches between Bfookes and Powell and Wilding and Sehwengers were an anti-climax. Although the players trom Australia “won their third straight victory from Schwengers and Powell yesterday in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, the €anadians carried Wilding and Brookes along at top speed all the way. The critics agreed that Wild- g outclassed Brookes, who seemed to be off his old form. Team work of the pair also was ragged. ANXIOUS FOR ADJOURNMENT.

Cincinnati, July 25.—What is de- case of epilepsy is reported by Dr. C. A. L. Reed, a surgeon of this city. The treatment was given at the Ger- man Deaconess hospital in this city. The woman patient in this case, it is announced, was relieved of fre- quent and distressing fits of epilepsy not by an operation on the brain, spinal cord or other portion of the nervous system but by an operation on the large intestine.

WILSON'S REMARKS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT Henry Ciews Says Gountry Certainly Necds “a New Temper in Affars.” (Special to the Herald.) New York, July 25.—The ability of the stock market to resist bad news | is something remarkable.. This is not because of any organized resistance, for this market is unusually free of artificlal influences at the present time. Nor is it because securities are concentrated in strong hands, since the latest returns indicate that rail- road and industria] shares have been widely scattered, and that the num- ber of small stockholders throughout the country has greatly increased during the last two vears. The pres- ent resisting qualities of the market can only be,attributed to a few main causes., All known drawbacks have been very liberally discounted, and there is a growing belief that we are nearing the edge of a turn for the better as soon as changing circum- stances permit. are a number of soft spots in the stock market, such as New Haven, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Chesa- peake & Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio, New York Central, etc.,, but most of these declines have been the result of special influences such as govern- ment activities, reorganization pro- ceedings, poorer dividend prospect ete. Prolonged delay of the rate de- cision was also a depressing factor. Most Encouraging Factor. By far the most encouraging factor in the genera] situation is the crop outlook, which continues, with few exceptions, eminently satisfactory. The agricultural sections of the west are already beginning to feel the stim- ulus of the huge wheat crop. Mer- chants are anticipating a larger de- mand for their wares, while the rail- roads are making active preparations for marketing the enormous surplus of wheat. Already there are signs of local traffic congestion, For weeks past there has been a marked contrast between the optimism of the west and the pessimism of the east. Revival In the east is today almost entirely a | matter of confidence. When that re- vives, trade will revive; but no real recovery is to be expected until there is some cessation of disturbing leg- islative and government activities, many of which may be justified and necessary, but are nevertheless severes ly drastic and highly disconcertin; In a few weeks congress will adjourn and that will afford some relief. Many of the uncertainties dependent upon government action are now a matter of history, such as the tariff, the banking law, etc. Very soon the trust question will also be settled, and this disturb- ance will be out of the way, After the elections, which are only three months away, the country may antici- pate a period of political quiet and before this occurrence it is not at all improbable that we shall witness a more active and higher market in anticipation. Money Situation Satisfactory. The money situation continues sat- isactory. be anticipated when the crop move- ment fairly begins; and, though the new banking system is not likely to be in working order for some time to come, our banks will be amply able to meet all requirements without dif- ficulty, especially in view of the cer- tainty of treasury aid, if needed. Some interest was exhibited in the renewal of further gold exports, but these should cause no concern, The United States is a large producer of gold, and is quite able to stand a con- siderable efflux without particular strain. In the twelve months ending June our excess of gold exports over imports was $70,000,000, / Foreign Commerce Encouraging. Our foreign commerce returns for the fiscal year ending June are not without their encouraging features. Our exports were valued at $2,364,- 000,000, having been exceeded only once in our history, in 1913 when they amounted to $2,465,000,000, Our imports during the twelve months amounted to $1,894,000,000, beating | all records, the best previous year be- ing 1913 when the sotal was $1,813,- 000,000. The increase of imports was, of course, largely due to the lowering of the tariff, which made itself felt with increasing force dur- ing the first six months of 1914. The loss in exports was mainly caused by the shrinkage in agricultural prod- ucts, which in turn was partly a re- sult of smaller shipments and larger cohsumption at home, thus lessening the surplus for export. Not Entirely Satisfactory. The foreign situation is not entire- ly satisfactory, through an economic reaction, al- though it does not promise to be very | table Compound, and now I feel like a different person. I believe there is nothing like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound for weak women and young girls, and I would be glad if I could influence anyone to try the medi- cine, for I know it will do all and much more than it is claimed to do.”” — Mrs. CLARA FRANKS, R. F. D. No. 1, Maple- crest Farm, Kasota, Minn. Women who suffer from those dis- tressing ills peculiar to their sex should be convinced of the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to re- | store their health by the many genuine | and truthful testimonials we are con stantly publishing in the newspapers. If you have the slightest doubt that Lydia E.

Like ourselves, Kurope is suffering from disturbing political activities, The Balkan problem is still a matter of anxiety, and the Berlin bourses have been scenes of consid- erable speculative activity for the de- cline in consequence. This was no doubt in anticipation of the threat of | Austria against Servia. Paris ha also been temporarily unsettled, part- ly in sympathy with Berlin and part- Iy by the tendency of capital to leave the country as a result of excessive legislative hostility. London too is in rather a sober Ulster difficulties and trade depres- but conditions there are con- sidered generally sound. Wilson's Remarks Significant. These remarks of President Wilson in connection with the ‘“Jones” in- cident are highly significant: “I believe that the judgment and desire of the whole country cry out for a new temper in affairs.

We have breathed already too long the air of | suspicion and distrust. The progress | of reform is not retarded by generos- ity and fairness.” These words are opportune. Cer- tainly the country needs “a new tem- per in affairs”; and we have too long breathed the “air of suspicion and distrust.” HENRY CLEWS, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TO MEET IN CANADA | Second Time in History of Order Su- preme Lodge Session Will Be Held Outside United States. Boston, July 25.—The golden jubi- lee year convention of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, to be open- ed in Winnipeg, Man., on August 4, will mark the second time in the his- tory of the order that a supreme lodge session has been held outside the United States, Plans for the meet- ing weré announced today.

Wall street, 10:45 a. m.—Europe was again the primary factor in to- semi-panicky conditions on all for- elgn exchanges finding direct re- flection in numerous severe recessions here. Canadian Pacific was most ser- iously affected, losing 2% at the out- set on a sale of 1,500 shares, while Northern Pacific fell almost as much. Steel was also extensively dealt in, large blocks changing hands at a one point decline. Practically all the international list registered losses of 1 to 2 points, with a number of new low records. Business in the early dealings was heavier than at any pre- vious session of the week, being aug- mented by foreign offerings, A rally before the end of the first half hour materially reduced initial declines. A brisk rally followed indications of a relaxation in the foreign situa- tion and many losses were more than retrieved. Closing—The foreign situation was again a highly unsettled factor in the local stock market, which opened with losses of one to two and a half points in response to London's de- pressed level. Substantial support soon brought about a complete re- versal with some material gains. An- other gold shipment to Paris was at- tended by a further advance in ex- change.

(Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.) The New York Sun recently joined with a correspondent in bemoaning the fact that baseball isn't so imter- esting a game as it used to be. The terrific speed of Walter Johnson and Joe Wood, say the sorrowful critics, has made batters more or less afraid of the ball. Now, instead of eld~ fashidned slugging matches, we have lukewarm pitchers' battles and feebls hitters; so, in effect, says the Sun, It is quite obvious that the Bun's editorial critic does not follow very closely the baseball fortunes of either the Yankees or the Brooklyn Na- tionals, Neither of those teams suf- fers severely from first-class pitching. Even the accomplished stafft of th Giants has lately been treated with & painful lack of respect by eppesing batsmen. Indeed, if you suggestéd 6 any baseball manager in the country that his team was suffering in - larity because his staff of pnl‘hm’:fi too proficient, it is probable that he would drop into the unpolished idiom of the game and exclaim: *“No use in ringing, mister; nobody home!" Anyone who follows even in a cur- sory manner the baseball scores has observed that nine-tenths of all games are won or lost in pretty much the same way. Two teams struggle along for a few innings without either side scoring many runs. Then one of the pitchers “breaks.” His “control” and quickness of wit.temporarily fail him, and the enemy bats home four or five runs. Generally those runs are enough to beat him, Occasionally men are found, like Mathewson, Wal- ter Johnson, Alexander and Plank, who seldom falter; in baseball ver- nacular, they can generally be de- pended on to “go the distance.” Such men are rare birds and their services are so highly thought of that no reas sonable money consideration can in- duce their employers to part with them, Would it make baseball any mors interesting to restore the old rules which permitted the batter to call for the kind of pitch he wanted? 1lg it desirable to have games last three or four hours, with a final score of for nine to thirty-seven or thereabouts? We think not, The average ntan likes the short, snappy game which pro= vides a fair amount of excitement and enables him to get home in time for a warm and peaceful dinner, It is possible that some day there will be so many expert “slab-artists” that baseball games will be merely exhibi- tions of endurance on the part of the WM, E.
