SHOES “SHINED™ |STOCKS BRING BY ELECTRICITY —C Invention Backed by Stand- ard Oil Capital Invades the Bootblack’s Realm |BRUSH ARTISTS IRATE Machine Introduced in New York Threatens to Put Them Out of Business Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 11.—Bootblacks ' from the Battery to the Harlem are ex- cited over an invasion of their domun‘ by an electric shoe polishing machine. The mere suggestion that their artis- tic work can be duplicated by a me- chanical contrivance has aroused an indighant protest, and at a meeting of the United Bootblacks' Protective Un- | fon it was decided to fight the auto-l matic rate-cutting device. From proprietors of polishing pariors in office bu gs, who have accumu- lated fortunes, down to the bare-footed urchin whose entire capital is a box and a pair of brushes. there was but one opinion to-day—'Da machina is no gooda.” By offering shines for a nickel, and in quicker time than it {s possible with an expert bootblack on each foot, the machine threatens to eat into the in- | comes of the frugal Itallans, and they are determined to prevent its general That the com- pany behind the machine has the back- ing of Standard Oil Interests and is capitalized at $250,000 does not frighten { them. There are about 10,000 bootblacks on | Manhattan Island, and it is estimated | that 300,000 men have their shoes pol- ished dally. e UNIVERSITY GRADUATE GOOD PRICES Considerable Realizing Is Done, but Market Closes Firm and at Top Level CROP REPORT PLEASING Short Session of Exchange Shows Ratisfactory Gains and Improvement in Trade e NEW YORK, June 11.—The short session of the Stock Exchange to-day showed good support for prices and the market closed firm, at the top level of the week. There was con- siderable realizing, but it was evident that sufficient satisfaction was felt over the color of the monthly crop re- port to prompt a good absorption of this realizing. The day's gains were not striking, but the steadiness of prices, in view of the activity of trad- ing, made the tone good. The bank statement showed about the expected gain in cash resources and sufficient to meet the added reserve require- ments by reason of the rise in de- posits, with a margin of $3,801,5625, | which went to enhance the surplus/ | reserve of the banks. A report from ! Washinggon asserted that permission had been given for the deposit of $2,100,000 atthe New York Sub-Treas- ury for transfer by telegraph to San Francisco, which is a reversal of the | recent current between the two cen-| ters without explanation. The mar- | ket for investment securities begins to reflect unmistakable pressure to find | employment for idle capital. To-day’s | bond market was broader and more | active than that for stocks.

Some such confidence must be ac- cepted for explanation of the firm- ness of the market in face of the evi- dent contraction of business in the | East. The estimate of the output in iron was the week’s most satisfactory record. RAILROAD EARNINGS. Railroad earnings made a continu- | ous exhibit of decreases from last year’s level, and the decreased volume of bank vlearings is evidence to the same effect. While money has con- tinued e'ny and in little demand the | ment has been of good effect on senti- ment. European money centers have grown quite plethoric. There have | been further large receipts of Japan- ese gold at San Francisco, somewhat contrary to expectations. as the flota- tion of the Japanese loan was ex- | pected to check this movement of gold. The course of the Government revenues at Washington arouses some | doubts whether the Treasury Depart- | be in a position to take | measures for the relief of the money ! market which have been employed at | that season for a number of years.

The question of the filling in of the marsh between Army street and the carhouse on Kentucky street was tak- | is a menace to the health of the res-! idents of the district. The improve- | ment of the San Bruno road to the county line was also discussed. ————— Trouble Over Diamond Earrings. A warrant was obtained from Po- lice Judge Fritz yesterday for the ar- rest of K. Schwartze, jeweler, 17 Market street, on a charge, of felony embezzlement. It is alleged that on Thursday he got from Willlam Schmaliz & Sons, jewelers, 767 Market | gtreet, a pair of diamond earrlngs‘ valued at $350 to show to a friend and | he has failed to return the earrings or pay for them. —_——— No Pamage From Grade Change.

A suit for divorce was filed yester- day in the Superior Court by Eugenia Griggs, who seeks, through the law, a dissolution of the marriage bonds which have bound her to Joseph Griggs for twenty-six years. They_were married at Sutter Creek, Cal., in October, 1878, and seven chil- dren are the issue of the union. | She alleges neglect and cruelty. Among the instances of his misbehavior toward his family Mrs. Griggs says | that her husband pointed a shotgun at their son Lee, and many times drove their son Albert from home by throwing stones at him. In a year past, she says, he has only contributed $13 50 to provide clothing for herself and children, and it is al- leged that he has only bought meat once in a year for their meals. The | defendant was a soldier in the Civil and it is alleged. he receives a pension of $6 a month. M. P. Sheridan was cited yester- | day to appear before Judge Hebbard and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court for failure to pay his wife $20 a month alimony under the order granting her a decree of divorce. Sheridan ap- peared and said that while he was not working he could not afford to pay the sum ordered. Judge Hebbard instructed him to pay $15 on Monday or go to jail and intimated that the decree would be modified so that Sheridan would have to pay $15 in- stead of $20. Judge Kerrigan of the Superior Court yesterday granted a divorce to Tillle Henrietta Clarke from Joseph T.’Clarke on the ground of failure to provide. Suits for divorce were filed yester- day with the County Clerk by Mary L. McBurnie against Robert E. Mec- ‘Burnie for desertion, Helen Cookson against Herbert H. Cookson for fail- ure to provide, Mamie Hunkel against Henry C. Hunkel for desertion and Katherine Jackson against Benjamin F. Jackson for desertion. In the last named case Jackson sued his wife for divorce and a dismissal of the case yesterday by a kettle of boiling water falling on him. He was seriously in- jured and was taken for treatment to the Emergency Hospitul. Archibald has a wooden leg. In at- tempting to life the kettle from the range the artificial limb gave way, causing him to fall and scald himself. —_——————— Struck With a Bolo. ‘William Turner, colored, was treated by Dr. Boskowitz at the Central Emer- gency Hospital last night for an in- cised wound of the head and fracture of the skull. During an altercation in a saloon at 2153 Steiner street, it is alleged, Robert Powell, a colored trooper of the Ninth Cavalry, struck | Turner on the head with a Filipino bolo. The blade inflicted a wound sev- the skull. Turner was removed to the hospital in an ambulance.

All the office and house furniture at 927 Market street and 65 Douglass street belonging to Willlam H.

A vortentous event i in the way of “Robin Hood,” the most successful for thirteen years exclusively by the famous Bostonians and which has been secured by the Tivoli management by a special arrangement with that or- ganization, just as soon as a brief season of ardu- ous rehearsal is brought to a close. The opera-house will close for a week {after the final performance of “Ser- geant Kitty” to-night. mand will be bent toward giving a per- formance of “Robin Hood" that shall g0 on record as “superb.” The scenery | and costumes will be all that the strict- | est demands of the book and the locale require, while the musical and stage forces will be put to the test of the | severest comparisons to insure a per- fect rendition. The cast that will interpret “Robin | Hood” will challenge comparison with any singing cast anywhere.
