PRESSING DEMAND FOR PHILIPPINE CURRENCY Need for Stable Monetary System Felt by Members in Both Houses of Con gress—Measure Now in Committee. Bill Fixes Gold Standard, But Democrats Will Prob ably Step Forward Witha Substitute. Next to the tariff question, the most important matter affecting the Philip pines which Congress is called upon to consider at this session is the one o® coinage for the islands. The present monetary system, or rather lack of sys tem, in the archipelago is a sericus han dicap to the proper couduct of business The circulating medium of the islands now, as it has long been, is the Mexican currency, but owing to the recent heavy decline in silver the money market ie subject to great fluctuations and varia tions, and both Democrats and Republi cans in Congress appreciate the fact that something must be done to establish a stable currency. In the general Philippine clvil govern ment hill which was enacted at the last session of Congress the provision for a monetary standard for tne islands was omitted because the Senate and House were unable to agree. The bill, as it passed the Senate, contained a section placing the 'slands upon a silver basis The House str. ck out this provision, and inserted one establishing the gold stand ard with the gold dollar as the unit, the same as in the United States, and fur ther providing for a subsidiary coinage. The conferees could not adjust the qQif ference, both houses declining to yield and at the last moment, In order that the remainder of the raeasure might be come a law, and as the time for ad MASCAGNI ARRESTED ON EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGE Composer Accused of Ap propriating $5,000.

PROFITS OF LAST CONCERTS Heard Says Amount Belonged to Him by Agreement with the Italian Musicidn. CHICAGO, Dec. 27.--Signor Mascagni, the Italian composer, was arrested last might in his room in the Auditorium An nex Hotel, on a charge of embezzlement. The warrant, served on the composer after the policeman had been forcibly conducted from the musician's presence, it is said, charges that $5,000 has been embezzled. Mascagni remained at the hotel the re mainder of the night. An agreement had been reached between his attorneys and Attorney W. Hicks, acting for Manager Richard Heard, who is complainant in the warrant, The manager asserts that the $5,000 was the profits of the two last appear ances of the Mascagni troupe and that it was his money sccording to agreements between himself and his star. AYAN MINISTER MAKES EXPLANATION Tells His Connection With Alleged Ab duction of Ames Boy. The Uruguayan minister, Senor de Herrera, called upon Secretary Hay this morning and explained the connection of his legation with the alleged abduc tion of Joseph Preston Ames. He stated that he was visited by the boy's rela tives and the boy. The latter said upon inquiry that he wished to go to Uruguay to live, and thereupon the minister ad vised the relatives tc take him thither. At the same time he cautioned them to act openly, and so avoid misconstruc tion. His explanation was called forth by the visit to the State Department on Welnesday of Mr. Sparhawk, who com p}.ined that the Uruguayan legation had sisted in abducting the boy. SCHWAB SOON T0 RESUME HIS DUTIES Steel Magnate at Cannes Rapidly Get ing Into Good Health. NEW YORK, Dee. 27.—Joseph E. Schwab arrived here yesterday on the Celtic with good news for the friends of his brother, Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation. When seen last night at the Plaza Hotel Mr. Schwab said: “When 1 left my brother ten days ago at Cannes he was the picture of health and was enjoying his vacation as a schoolboy would who bad been overcrowded with studies. He was bronzed and his eyes were clear. He was merry and had taken on flesh. in fact, he was in better condition than I have seen him in years. He was fll of fun and making the most of his lib erty away from the heavy strain of con ducting a great business. “You can say that he will start back to his desk within a month at the long est. Youn ean say, too, that he has never thought of resigning h's position or giving up his work. He is and will continue to be president of the steel company." Journment had arrived, the money sec tion was stricken from the bill. By this means the islands were left te trade with the Mexican coinage. Demand for Legislation. There has since been a pressing de mand made for currency legislation for the Philippines. An effort has been made to have the Senate and House come together upon the matter. Accord ingly Representative Cooper, the chair man of the House Committee on insular Affairs, and Senator Lodge. chairman of the Philippines Committee of the Senate, introduced bills in their respective houses to fix the gold standard for the islands. This was a complete recession on the part of the Senate from the posi tion which it maintained last session. While the measure is somewhat different from the original House provision, it nevertheless establishes the gold stand ard instead of the silver basis. This is all the more remarkable from the fact that the silver standard provision passed the Senate by a unanimous vote, both Republicans and Democrats agreeing that this was the better of the two for the archipelago. Unlike the American gold standard, which allows a free and unlimited coinage of gold, the present Philippine gold standard bill will limit the coinage of gold. it also provides for a subsidiary coinage. DENVER, Dec. 27.—8econd Lieut. Wil liam M. Kistler, of M Company, Eigh teenth United States Infantry, has been missing from Fort Logan for nearly two weeks. He enlisted in the army from Phila delphia, and the fact that he was an en listed man and not a West, Point gradu ate, it is believed, may have an in direct bearing on his mysterious abh sence from the post. The Denver police department has been asked to look for him, as it is feared he has either been murdered for his money or drugged and held prisoner in some se questered place. Lieutenant Kistler had $150 in cash with him when he left the fort last Monday a week ago, and this, it is thought, may have furnished an incentive to kill the young soldier and make way with his body. Mystery cloaks his going from the fort. He left suddenly, and, it is said, with out permission, but fhe motive he had in leaving is not quite clear to his fel low officers or the commander at the fort. Some months ago Lieutenant Kist ler handed in his resignation, but was not accepted because he has another year in the service before he can re sign. It is hinted that he was not satisfied with the treatment he received at the post. Having risen to his present position from the ranks he thought he was being discriminated against socially, and this, it is sald, wounded him deeply, as he is a proud, sensitive man. VANDERBILT NOT OUT OF DANGER, BUT IMPROVING Measure in Committee. The measure has not been reported to either the Senate or the House, but is in the hands of the respective commit tees, and several hearings have been held. When the measure is reported the Democrats will probably offer as a sub stitute the provision for silver coinage, which passed the Senate by a unanimous vote at the last session, and will call attention to the fact that but six months ago Republicans, as well as Democrats, expressed themselves as in favor of a silver standard for the Philippines. They appreciate the fact, however, that a sta ble currency of some kind is necessary for the welfare of the islands and hence will make no fight upon the bill. They will content themselves by offering the ‘substitute stated. MURDER OF AN ARMY OFFICER SUSPECTED Lieutenant Who Rose From Ranks Disappears. Passes a Comfortable Night and His Chances for Recovery Increase. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—It was sald at the house of Cornelius Vanderbilt this morning that he had passed a comforta ble night and that while he was still not out of danger the chances were fa vorable for his recovery. Before he left the house shortly be fore midnight Dr. Austin Flint, jr. said: “Mr. Vanderbilt is not yet out of danger, but his condition is very satis factory. While his temperature is not yet normal, it is now ranging between 100 and 102, which is satisfactory tem perature for the present state of h's fever.” ROOSEVELT BOYS FOLLOW FATHER'S ATHLETIC EXAMPLE Theodore Roosevelt, jr., led a “hunt. ing’” party of flve youngsters away from the White House this morning. All were mounted on their ponies. They went out into the suburbs on a (cur of explora tion, but no tidings have been received of how much big game they were able to land. Kermit went walking with his black terrier. He wore a typical schoolboy Sey’ jue, consisting of a very small cap, worl, after the Groten fashion, on the back of the head; short top-coat, low cut black shoes, and turned up trousers, He didn’t seem to mind the cold at all, ul lowing his outer coat to flap in the wind with the greatest unconcern.

Y., Dec. 27.— That a man doesn’t have to be sane to be a good barkeeper has been proved by John Martin, who mixed cocktails and drew beer from the wood in daytime and then went back to his cage in an Insane asylum at night. Martin worked for Thomas Foster, keeper of a roadhouse near this city. The Hudson River State Hospital for the Insane is a mile away, and Martin, a parole pavient, meandered along one day and asked for work. Foster started him in grinding apples for cider, but this was FOUND ENOUGH ARSENIC 10 KILL HUMAN BEING Strong Evidence That Mrs. Julia A. Wilson Was Murdered. WILLIMANTIC, Conn., Dec. 27.—Strong evidence has been gecured proving that some one poisoned Mrs, Julia A. Wilson, of Ashford, whose son, George Wilson, and Mrs. Lilly Manson are in jail by the coroner's orders. Dr. A. J. Wolff, of Hartford, the State chemist, has found poison in the dead woman's stomach, State Attorney John L. Hunter said last night: “I received a communication from Dr. Wolff. He rald he had completed thor oughly the analysis of the stomach’s contente and that he had found more than enough arsenic to kill one person. The doctor found the stomach badly ul cerated.” The State attorney, when asked re garding the evidence against the sus pected persons, gald that it was all In the hands of Coroner A. G. Bill, and from what he had been tcld by the coro ner he thought it was strong against Mrs. Manson. As to Wilson he said that some evidence had been found which would indicate that Wilson knew what wag being done. He cited the fact that 2 woman supposed to be Mrs. Maneon ‘bought an ounce of arzecic at Samuel Chesbro’s drug store, and that when she ordered it there was a man with hep ‘who is supposed to be Wi'son. BALFOUR CONVALESCENT. LONDON, Dec. 27.—It is officially stated that Premier Balfour, who is ill with influenza at his country home in Whittinghame, Scotland, is convalescent. vases given to her by the Mikado. A solid gold toilet set presented to Mrs. Grant by the King of Siam is also given to the same institution. She algo directs that the United States Government shall re ceive whatever of her houshold effects of historical interest and value it may de sire to select, The executor or executors of her will she directs shall be chosen by trustees selected by her three sons or a majority of them. In this connection Mrs. Grant said that her sons may become the execu tors if they chose to do se. In keeping with this request of the testatrix Gen, Frederick D. Grant pre sented a statement to Justice Barnard, sitting for probate business, setting forth that nis brothers and his sister, Mrs. Sartoris, desired that he ghould act as trusiee temporarily and finally be come the executor of the wiil. By the terms of the will the bene ficlaries are to receive only a life inter est in the estate. Upon the death of any one of the four beneficiaries, his or her heirs are to receive the income of the share to which their parent was entitled. The principal of the estate is not to be divided until the testatrix’s grandchil dren become of legal age to inherit. An exception is made in the case of Mrs. Sartoris. She is to ive a one fourth interest for her sole use for life and upon her death her portion of the estate Is to be divided among he: children, INMIGRATION REPORT SHOWS AN INGREASE Many Aliens Arrive in the Month of November. Commissioner of Immigration Sargent has issued his report of Immigrants for the month of November as compared with the same period last year. A report of the rejection of alien immigrants at va rious points along the Canadian border is also given out. The report shows that 51,179 persons immigrated from Europe, as compared with 40,286 in 1801. GC: these 14,128 came from Austria-Hungary, 3,483 from italy. From Asia there were 2,978, an increase of 153 over the previous year. From Africa and Australia and the nu merous small islands there were 987. From all points there were 55,177 immi grants in November, an increase of 11,577 over the same month of last year. The foliowing rejections along the Ca nadian border are reported:. Trachoma, R1: favus, 13; tuberculpsis, 3: Imeanity, I; publio charge; 167; without €ertificate 62; contract laborers, 49; unlawfully en tering the United States, 3; excluded with other members of family, 2; assisted im migrants, 3; prostitutes, 1. Total, 385. irksome so he worked his way up until he became barkeeper. Every morning Martin came to work on time and at night folded up his apron and presumably went home. Now, through John F. Ringwood, at torney for the Law and Order League, it has been found that the home to which the barkeeper went was the asylum. Patrons of the roadhouse are greatly interested now to learn that for seven weeks they had been served their favor ite tipples by an inmate of an Insane asylum, MERRY CANTATA GIVEN AT WKENDREE CHURCH Modern Fairies and Elves Try Their Wiles Upon Santa Claus. The Sunday school of the McKendree M. E. Church, Ninth and Massachusetts Avenue, whose pastor is the Rev. E. L. Hubbard, held its annual Christmas ens tertainment last evening ,when the chil dren of the school sang a cantata en titled, “The Old-Fashioned Santa Claus.™ Thomas E. Harrison sang the title role, and Harry Stuart that of Jack Frost. The fairies, elves, bootblacks, and flower girls, who tock part in the play, insisted throughout that Santa Claus give up his old-fashioned ways and adopt automo Liles and recent innovations. Others in the cast were Linda Hub bard as Annabelle, and Raymond Jones as Alfred Tennyson Longfellow Jones. The fairies were Lola W¥illiams, Ollie Wiggington, Sadie Wimwon, and Rena Rouse. Those whe impersonated the elves and boothlacks were, Leslie Hinc kle, Wiliam E. Burch, Walter A, In chles, James Conway, John Carter, and Horace Naylor. Florence Hinckle, Alma Johnson, Anna Williams, and Ollie Rouse made pretty flower girls. Among the songs sung by Mr. Harri. son were “Topsy Turvey Land,” and “Reindeer and Sleigh.” At the end of the entertainment re freshments were served, and a handsome ‘umbrella was presented to the Rey. Mr, Hubbard. Those in charge of the entertainment were Mary E. Fowles, Agnes Hubbard, and L. P. Middleton. MAINE MARINE FORGE BEST IN THE SERVICE Men Picked From 2mong the Physically Perfect.

Naval men are interested in the marine detachment of sixty men ordered to leave here Monday morning for duty on the battleship Maine, which will ge into commission on that date. The guard is said to be the best ever picked for a similar service. It: will be under the command of Capt. Dion Wil liams. Only volunteers were taken and these were selected from among the physically perfect, Twenty of the men selected for this service were taken from (he battalion which returned two weeks ago from Panama, and the others were among those on guard duty at (he Charleston and Buffalo Expositions. The Panama battalion was from Washingtén bar racks and was commanded by Lieut; Col. B. R. Russell, now in command of the marine barracks. Captain Williams was in Panama guarding the railroad against damage in the recent revolution. He was relieved from duty before the return of his men on account of his assignment to the Mzine and the necessity of selecting the guard for that service. He praises the conduct of the Panama battalion, saying that it was notably effective: when the climatic conditions were taken into eon sideration. The service there continued about ten weeks. Two men were lost in that time on account of yellow fever and about sixty came home suffering with malaria. Duty on board the Maine was much sought by the men at the barracks. The ship is not only numbered among the best in the service, but there is a reverence for the name among the na val men. Usually when a ship meets with disaster there is a superstition among men of the sea that any vessel subsequently given that name will be unlucky, but not so with the name “Maine.” The prompt manner in which this Government avenged the destruc tion of the battleship in Havana harbor is thought to have removed the ‘“hoo Captain Williams served three years in the Philippines, and has been at-. tached to nearly every post in the United States. 2 fends CLAIMS LORENZ METHOD WAS USED BEFORE

Rochester Man Says System Was Practiced More Than Forty Years Ago. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 27.—A phy sician who attended the elinic ne 0 at Cornell Medical College by Dr. Adel? Lorenz, the great Austrian surgeon, writes to the “Democrat and Chroni ele” that Dr. Lorenz, in replacing the head of the femur in the socket, uses the same movements that were first used over forty years ago by Dr. W. W, Reid, then a physician in Rochester. The letter follows in part: “While watching with great interest the manipulations of Dr. Lorenz, 1 re called the fact that it was Dr. Reid, of Rochester, who first reduced disloca tions of ihe hip by the same movements over forty years ago. Dr. Reid's method has, up to the present time, heen con fined principally to dislocations due to violence and of short standing. Dr. Lo renz has applied the method in the most energetic way, resorting to what might be called extreme violence irc the case of young children suffering from congenital dislocation of the hip joint. It is this that constitutes his important discovery. Many good things have had their origin in Rochester, and it seems quite right that Dr. Reid should be remembered as the originator of one of them.” Dr. Reid's method was explained to a reporter of the “Democrat and Chroni cle” by both Dr. Mott Meore and Dr. B. 1.. Hovey vesterday. Dr. Hovey knew Dr. Reid somewhat, and he has on three oc ALEXANDRIA NEWS NOTES.

CAPTAIN SEBREE, U.S.N, REPORTS ON SAMOA Natives Anxious to Have Government Approved. The Navy Department has received the report of Capt. U. Sebree, U. 8. N.,, naval governor of Tutuila, Samoa, on the conditions existing there. Captain Sebree says that although the natives formerly ceded their island to the United States in April, 1900, there has vet been no action taken by the Navy Department looking to the formal ap proval of the form of government estab lished there. Some of the high chiefs, he reports, have asked what is the intention of the United States in the matter. Captain Sebree regards it as desirable that some action be taken, He speaks of the fact that the form of government adopted and generally comcurred in by the Samoans permits such of the old customs as are not. cruel or generally considered wrong by civilized nations. Efforts are being made by the com mandant to help the Samoans to deo away with all of the old customs not considered good for the welfare of the people. Captain Sebree shows the im provement t*at was made under Ameri can sovereigrtv., He recommends that an American suitable for the position be appointed as chief of the islands, He would be under the commandant and have charge of all the judicial business. He also recommends that $5,000 a year be appropriated for public schools in the naval station. Speaking of the payment of the arms turned in by the natives, Captain Sebree says. “The total number of arms turned in and paid for and sent home om the Abarenda was 362 and the amount paid for them was $3,671.49, or an average of about $10.14 a piece. The arms were mestly old and of little worth. CATCHES EELS BY BARREL. SAYVILLE, L. 1, Dec. 27.—Peter Se gal, a Hollander, who recently landed in this country and settled in a colony ot kis countrymen at West Sayville, soon found that he was im a place abound ing in eels. The Yankee device for catching the squirmers did not go deep enough into the mud, and Segal sent to Holland for a drag. Now he is surprising the south side natives by catching great deep-mud eels by the barrels to the Yankees’ pecks. casions employed his method with suc ay id vv nye “In’ this operation the patient lies on his back and the operator grasps his ankle with one hand and his leg at the knee with the other. He then bends the leg up over the body, pressing it as close to the body as possible. The knee is next bent sidewise over the sound hip, after which it is brought back with a sweep ing outward retary meiion and drawn straight. This almost fuvariably results in the head of the femur slipping into the socket with a characteristic sound that is plainly audible. Dr. Mott. Moore, in speaking of the method, said: “Dr. Reid and my father, Dr. E. M. Moore, were associated in their investigations when they were young men. Father took a great deal of inter est in the discovery of Dr. Reid and availed himself of every opportunity of noting its success. He found, however, that Dr. Reid's method, when followed out exactly, sometimes resulted in pro ducing a dislocation of a different na ture from the original one, instead of re placing the femur in the socket. He cor rected this, and in this slight particular improved on the Reid method.” The change made by Dr. E. M. Moore, as described by Dr. Mott Moore, consist ed in placing the hand beneath the knee instead of only pressing it against the body after it has been raised by the hand at the ankle, as is the case when the hand is placed over the knee-pan, loan money and to do a savings bank business, build houses and do a general building association business, was grant ed a charter in the corporation court yesterday.

RICHARD STRAUSS was at Brunswick a few days ago with the Berliner Ton kunstler Orchester, with a view to giv ing romcerts. A matinec had begun and “Auf der Campagna’ had just been per ‘formed, when Herr Strauss was called out of the room, in ¢rder to be tald by a Joliceman that the. music must stop. “Why?” said the indignant and sur prised director. The only answer was a “repetition of the prohibition in a more peremptory form. The orchestra, con ‘sisting of seventy musicians, were pack ing up their instrumer.te, amid a regular storm of indignation rem the auditori um, when a messenger came, saying that the order had been rescinded. It turned out that the policeman had acted on his own responsibility, and when asked to give a reason for his arbitrary conduct replied: “I thought it was a kind of la dies’ orchestra that was playing there!” It must be added that if this had been 80, the ladies would have had to have ob tained permission to play. 4 —_,

COPYRIGHT BY FRANK A. MUNSEY. THIS STORY WAS BEGUN WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS. «A large part of the garrison of Fort Huachuca is out after Geronimo sp. his Apaches, who have escaped from the reservation. The weather is tropical. Lieutenant Mecier amd Kader Ro nan are trying to keep cool on the veranda of the former's quarters. The officer has been jok ing about his many love affairs. Ronan has alluded to the fortune he has thrown away and to the mine in which his hopes lie buried. Hecker receives un order to meet the colonel at the railway station, where he is expected to arrive with two ladies. ““Two fat old women,” laughingly suggests Ronan, as Hecker rides away accompanied by a squad led by Mellish, an en listed man, whom Ronan distrusts, but who is useful to Hecker. The supposed “two fat old women’ are in reality Mary Marcy, the colomel’'s daughter, newly graduate’, blonde and pretty, and her cousin, Nina Wentworth, dark beautiful, who has been “out” two seasons. Captain Adair, of the fort, happening to be on the ttentions to Nima, whe, however, prefers with him in the moonlight, she looks up at his face und he folds her to his Go. e Before I Me “Marry RS. SAVAGE was very well M satisfled. It wasn't every day that “the fort people,” as she casually Iuentioned them, ‘drank tea on her veranda. There were drawbacks now; but Mrs. Savage was not the woman to be niggardly in her enjoyment of a thing because it was not absolutely flawless. The wide. room-like shelf that ran en tirely around the house, Mrs. Savage had set as nearly as possible like the de scriptions she had read and seen illus Arated in English periodicals of Indian ‘bungalows. There were palms, and rush and wicker chairs, .tables, hammocks with gay tassels, and embroidered cush fons. When Mrs. Savage saw all this animated hy the uniforms of the of ficers, and saw Mecker's big face aglow with the flame of her spirit lamp, she felt that her ideal was complete. The sight of Mrs. Major Acton in her .thin pongee, drinking tea out of Chinese covered cup, was an agree “able enough vision to her hostess. She liked well encugh to be on good terms with. the. Fort ladies, buf she had none ‘of ‘the social sense whch made her cultivate women. “What's the program now?” Ronan ‘sald. “I'd like to Fw when some of CHRISTMAS AT TRINITY CHURCH Following is the program of Christmas music which will be given tomorrow ‘at Trinity M.

CO J Place Theater this week is the popular ‘Alt Heidelberg.’ “A revival of the old melodrama of ‘The Streets of New York' was made last night at the Murray Hill Theater, and Mr. Ralph Stuart appeared as Badger. “The current attraction at the Ameri can Theater is a melodrama called ‘A Remarkable Case.’ “Several dramatic events are ass’'gued for December 29. Mrs. Langtry will appear at the Garrick Thoater, '‘n her new play called “The Crossways.” Mr. E. H. Sothern will appear at the Gar den Theater as Hamlet. Mrs. Clara Bloodgcod will appear at the Savoy Theater, in a play by Mr. Clyde Fitch, called “The Girl With the Green Eyes.’ And ‘The Sultan of Sulu’ will be pre sented at Wallack's. THE “DRAMATIC MIRROR" makes the following comment om a certain phase of modern theatrical activity, which has excited much comment: “Many newspapers have lately criti cised the tendency of a certain element associated with the theater to seize great crimes or notorious ¢riminals or persons associated with sensational events for exploitation in the theater. “The stage itcelf, and the better ele ments in the theater, should not be held responsible for such vulgar and aber rant enterprises. In fact, it would he as unjust to blame the better elements in the theater for such things as it would to question the integrity of the church, or the respectability of other professions, for the misdoings of persons assoclated with the church and those professions. All vocations and profes sions and institutions have their scum and their dregs. you are going over to the Horeshoe You have visited all the mines in the vicinity, and the very one that needs the presence of a luck bringer you have passed by. Miss Marcy, aren't you going to conjure the silver out of the earth for me?" Everybody laughed. It was easy to Jaugh, and the Horseshoe was a good deal like its cwner, continually promis ing better things. Not an ounce of silver ‘bad been taken from it, and still, with the recklessness of his nature, Ronan ‘went on throwing inte it all the money ‘he could find. “We are going down to see the stamp mill now, I think,” Mrs. Acton said, gently. “We shall certainly go down your mine the next time we come over.” “It you do it will be in a bucket,” Mrs. Savage remarked, “The accommodations are not all I would desire,” Ronan admitted; “but I feared it would be extravagant to put in elaborate hoisting works when I wasn't sure there was anything there to hoist.” ._=N TL “You may as well stay here. It is bot,” Mrs. Savage said. Her white kid slippers that looked so well In the rug at her feet were hardly suitable for the mud of a stamp mill. She thought re gretfully of the days when Hecker would have made any excuse to stay while the rest went. Then, reluctantly rising, she went to prépare herself to go.

“When are we going home?” Ronan asked, as the tail of his hostess’ gowr swept through the door. “Presently,” Mrs. Acton said. “We are going to see the stamp mill, and by that time we must have the ambulance ready for us. It will take us until If o'clock to drive over, and, although the indians are so far away now, I hardly think anything later is safe.’ “De you want the ambulance to meet you at the mill?” Neal asked. "In that case 1 will go on down to the hotel] and order it sent up. I have seen a stamy mill several times.” “If you are going to the hotel, Mr eal,” Nina said from the shady depths of her big chair, “I will go with you. Mj head aches a Jittle, and I think I shall lie down until time to start.” Mrs. Octon looked anxious. “Perhaps my dear, you had better accept Mrs. Savage's invitation.” “J hate io get into that hot ambu lance,” Nina replied, with a little petu lance. “1 wish I could ride home on horseback.” “Why, you can,” Jimmie Neal said, “1 am going to ride over, and they have cap ital Forses in the stable here in Tomb Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, ac cording to his annual custom on the last Sunday of each year, will tomorrow morning review the world's history for the year, including tributes to the dis tinguished dead in the varied depart ments of life and the recognition of defi nite contributions to human knowledge and advancement in the worlds of poli tics, science, art, literature, and reli gion.

A negro, seized for a char acteristic crime, was hanged at Van Buren in that State, and the enterprising railroad ‘billed’ the event and ran special trains from Fort Smith to the scene of the execution. The trains were crowded, and theatrical enterprises— which in that region are not of the best—were forgotten in the excitement of the people of that section of Arkansas over the ‘show’ the Iron Mountain Rail road facilitated.” a” 9 Tox —_—_ rd

Pa MME. FANNY BLOOMFIELD ZEIS LER, the well-known American pianist, played recently at one of the Lamoureux concerts in Paris, and acquitted her self most creditably. A great measure of pluck was needed, however, as will be explained in an account of the oe currence written by one of her audi ters, from which the following is an excerpt: “However, Mme. Zeisler's reputation, which had preceded her to Paris, seem ed to have excited some jealousy in the mediocre crowd which loves to creat unpleasant moments for the real artists. When she entered the stage to play, Mme. Zeisler was greeted by cat calls and hisses from the gallery before she had even played a note, and imme diately ensued one of those extraordi nary scenes, only happening in theaters of the Latin countries: Open war be tween the galleries and the stalls. The upper house shouted to intimidate the ar tist, and the occupants of the scats down stairs made as much noise to intimidate the gallery. Pandemonium reigned and for some time it was impossible to com stone. I can get you a horse, and we can start when we like.” “1 believe I will do it.” Mrs. Savage came out with her big flowered hat and lace parasol, ready for the walk to the miil. Hecker, busy gath ering up umbrellas and gloves, had not heard Nina's plans, and blithely starting off with Mrs. Acton and. Mrs. Savage, leaving Ronan with Mary, did not notice that Nina left their path presently and with Neal went around the brow of the hill toward the straggling town. When he discovered it at the mill dor ‘t was too late to follow her. Nina and Neal walked on together down the dusty trail and into Allen Street, with its gaudy saloons lining all one side, to the hotel. “What time had I better tell Mellish to have the ambulance at the mill, Miss Wentworth?” Neal asked. There were people in Tombstone he himself was anxious to see, and he was glad to get away. “Oh, in two hours, I suppose. I never visited a stamp mill,” and she turned away toward the hotel parlors. She ang Neal had both forgotten their plan of riding home, As she came into the little room, dark with drawn blinds, which mercifully hid the staring red and green velvet carpet and the plated ice pitcher on the marble table, there arose in the gloom a figure which, blinded as her eyes were with the white glare outside, she recognized. Adair walked forward, and, shutting che door, put his arms around her. “Robert,” she said, “Robert!™ And, putting her head against his shoulder, burst into tears. Adair had left the morning after Hecker's dance, before Nina was out of ber room, and had gone back to his troop in the field. She had not seen him for nearly three weeks since they had ‘almost involuntarily told their love to each other that intoxicating August night. To both it had been a strair they had hardly realized. To both it was the first passion of their lives, and they were neither of the temperament to wear it lightly. He held her until she was quiet. “My dear,” he said, “my dear!" “Where are you going, Robert?” she asked, when she lifted her face. “To the fort. What are you doing over here—and alone? Where is—whec is with you?” “Mrs. Acton and Mary, Mr. Hecker Mr. Ronan and Mr. Neal. We came over yesterday to see the mines, and Mrs. Savage asked us up there to lunch SUGGESTIONS OF ALLIANCE FOR WEEK OF PRAYER The Evangelical Alliance has sent out invitations for a week of prayer from January 4 to 11, of which the following is an extract: “It is certain that the great blessing will not be granted unless prayer is of fered. The Intercessory power of con sistent Christian character, the appeal of faith and hope and toil, must still be supplemented by a direct request for the desired results. Such ig the declared and hely will of God. The temper of the times may be disinclined to bumble in tercegsion. There may be a tendency even among Christians to rely chiefly on Christian activity. None the less, it re mains that only prayer can make good works complete, “Let us, accordingly, accept, with holy eagerness, God's twofold assurance that true prayer is needful, and that such prayer will be favorably answered. “There are manifold and measureless incentives to the intercession which thus prevails, The conflict of good and evil visibly increases in intensity. The forces for and against Christ are gathering in new line of battle. The good increasing ly triumphs. Christ Is today exalted as never before. The world's welfare is con tinually advanced. “Yet there remain sins, evils, woes which, In themselves, are more than enough to make the whole head sick and the whole heart faint. Multitudes of souls are under the divine condemnation. Light bas come, yet they Jove darkness "IMES, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1902. mence the concert. After each num ber the noise started anew, and Mme. Zeisler showed her American pluck by playing in her happiest style. Her suc cess was gepuine and her future in France is assured. She will give a se ries of pianoforte recftals at the Eolian Salle." LA HENRIETTA CROSMAN while playing in San Francisco, before she began to twinkle in the stellar firmament, repeat edly expressed her horror of fire. She was then stopping at the Baldwin Hotel, and with her were her beautiful little baby and its nurse. Her room was so situated that there was no fire escape handy. “Oh, dear,” she said one day; “I shall never feel satisfied while I am here. I have a presentiment that something is going to happen, and 1 am so afraid of fire." She decided to leave the hotel on a Monday, and the following night the ho tel was burned to the ground. *_ Nal MUNICH concert-goers heard recently the first performance of a hymn by Che rubini, which has a curious history. In 1802 Cherubini received in Paris the news of Haydn's death. Overcome with grief, he composed the “Chant sur la Mort de Haydn,” had it printed, and sent a copy with a note of condolence to Prince Es terhazy, Haydn's patron. Before it was performed in Paris, however, Cherubini got word that the report of Haydn's death was unfounded—and as musical history tells us, that master did not die till 1809. Cherubini recalled ari can celed the edition of his hymn, but a few coples escaped destruction. One fell ul timately into the hands of Hans von Bu low, who used to call it the “Requiem From Misunderstanding.”” His widow sent this copy to Munich, from which the performance was given. 5 eon today. Oh, Robert, I missed you.” They sat silent for a few minutes he with his arm around her, her head against him. “Nina,” he said finally, “I have some pad news for you, my darling.” “Aren't you going back with us?’ she sald, sitting up, her brows drawn to gether in an anxious frown. “Yes, I am going back with you, but not to stay. Only until the day after tomorrow. The Indians are slipping away from the reservation, and there is dan ger of serious outbreak. My troop is ordered to the Cananea Pass, and I shall probably be there for several months, unable te see you at all.” “An. In constant danger,” she whis pered. “Oh, some,” he said. “That doesn’t ‘count. It is not seeing you that I mind.” “1 cannot let you go," she said, her voice husky with emotion, “B will not let you go. Why should you go down there to be butchered by Indians. Oh--——"" She began to sob. S€ 1 “My darling girl," Adair sald, “you know I must go. There is no other way. I would not desire any other way. Be fore 1 go we must tell your uncle that we love cach other, and when I come back——"' “You shall not go!" She stood up and flung herself against his breast, her arms about his neck. Her nervous tem perament and vivid imagination pic tured him taken away from her, mur dered by the Apaches. The separation he strained her, the altitude, the heat, the climate had strung her to a pitch that was almost beyond her control. Adair’s calmness was a thing of tense muscles held by his will. He leaned his head down to her ear. “Marry me before I go.” Niua lay passive. The idea had sent a thrill through her mind. She wonder i ed—-all in the thousandth part of a min i ute—what her uncle would say, how they could arrange it; and then she thought that if she married Adair he could leave the army now, this instant, leave this cruel country with its pest of murdering fiends, and go abroad with her. She had money enough to do anything. Yes, she would marry him now, and take him away from death. She lifted up her arms again and put them about his neck, and put her lips close against his. Adair was look ing down into her face, his own pale with emotion. “Yes! 1 will, now!" WILL BE CONTINUED MONDAY AND EVERY WEEK DAY UNTIL COMPLETED, rather than iight. Society is marred by wrongs and rent by strifes, which the full presence of the Kingdom would re move. Natfons are largely in the bond age of selfishness and bitter pride. They are far from the universal acceptance of the Golden Rule. The whole world, though moving toward the promised day, still groans and travails in pain. “let us, therefore, unitedly, earnestly, penitently plead with God for the hasten. ing of Messiabk's reign. Let us plead for the saving of souls, for the redemption ef society, for the Christianizing of the nations, and for the doing of God's will on earth as it is done in heaven. If we are of one accord before the throne of the heaven ly grace, praying by both deed and word, God will hear gur prayer.” Fellowing are suggestions for the week: Sunday, January 4—Appropriate ser vices and sefmons.

Chase, a shoemaker, is serving his second term as mayor of Haverhill, Mass. The strike of the telephone operators of Des Moines, Iowa, which has been in progress about six months, has been set tiled. Union Pacific shop men expect ar early settlement of their strike by the granting of concessions on the part o the road.

A crusade against Chinese and Jap anese laundries is to be waged in earnest by the drivers of laundry wagons at Sar Francisco, Cal. Leather workers at South Boston Mass., have been on strike for sever weeks to enforce a demand for an ad vance in wages. A movement is on foot among the thousands of clerks employed by the Santa Fe Railway to secure a general increase in wages.

The State of Missourl has over 14,000 manufactories, with a total paid up cap ital of over $169,588,546. They employ 143,138 men. Southern Pacific engineers have been conceded their demand for an increase in wages, which will average about 6 per cent, Omaha (Neb.) 'abor unions have re newed complaint vith the hoard of edu cation concerning the employment of non-union carpenters. State Labor Commissioner Varner, of North Carolina, has strongly urged the enactment of laws for the State in re lation to child labor. After May 1, 1903, 40,000 union stone cutters in the United States and Canada will refuse to work more than eight hours in any one day. ‘New Haven (Conn.) bakers will in woke the aid of the General Assembly to secure legislation which will result in doing away with night work. In all important lines of industry and in commercial affairs the outlook is most promising for Maine, and labor was never so fully employed as now. The census shows that each wage earner in our manufacturing establish ments produce wealt® to the amount of $3.75 per day, and receives $437.50 a year. In Worcestershire, Eng., 499 women are engaged making anchors, while 703 others make needles and 1,044 palls. Nearly all are married or widows. The scarcity of men in the bridge and structural ironworkers' trade at Indianapolis, Ind., still continues. Many men could readily obtain positions in this line of work. Birmingham (England) f{ronworkers’ wages will remain at 8 shillings 9 pence a ton for puddling, and millmen's wages in proportion, from December 8, 1602, to February 7, 1 Locomotive works in the suburbs of Vienna, Austria, within a year have re duced the number of their employes from 2,100 to 1,100, and 500 workmen's families have left.

The dispute In the plumbing trade at Liverpool, England, has resulted in a lockout, The employers blame the men for going on strike, instead of seeking a conference with them. Through the efforts of a committee ap pointed to confer with the publishers, the newspapers of Nzshville, Tenn., are now paying an advanced scale of wages. It went into effect December 1. A referendum vote in the International Typographical Union on the proposition of sending the official journal to every ‘member of the union was carried by a majority of more than 2,000. At Toronto, Canada, the employes of the Canadian Bank of Commerce have been granted a bonus by action of the board of directors of 10, 15, and 20 per cent, graded according to salary re celved. Westerly, R. I, union painters will, on January 1, present a demand for an ‘eight-hour day, with the present pay for ‘nine hours, to go into effect April 1. It is believed the new scale will be ac cepted. The arbitrator appointed to consider the claim of the Scottish miners fer an advance of 6 pence a day has awarded them 3 pence a day advance, which is at least a justification of the attitude of the men. In view of the decreasing demand in the tinplate industry of South Wales, it has been agraed to work short time in the months of December, January, Feb ruary, and March, to the extent of one week a month. The International Association of Ma chiniste has made a demand upon the board of public service at Cincinnati, Ohio, that it compel all the machinists in the employ of the city waterworks to join the union.

Efforts are being made by cigar men in New York to secure the co-operation of the Federation of Labor in their fight against the United Cigar Stores Com pany, which, it is said, is simply an off shoot of the American Tobacco Com pany—the tobacco trust.

The management of the Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Newport News Com pany’s street railway has issued a no tice that in future no unmarried men will be employed on the lines, and that all men seeking employment must be married and at least thirty years of age. After years of turmoil and strife the printers and publishers of Germany have made a peace agreement, the contract be ing signed for six years.

Twelve hours is the maximum day in factories employing men exclusively, g RH Foundry helpers at Indianapolis, Ind.. are arranging for an early reorganization of their union. There are many of this craft, and if they become properly or ganized they can form one of the sirong est unions in that city, The miners’ dispute at Rusbon, Wales, ended recently in a strike of about 1,000 men. Work in the mines had been re duced to one shift a day, and the other men’s wages were reduced accordingly.

The German Government will consent to having used part of the food duties collected froia mow until 1910, and esti mated at 330,000,000 marks, for the es tablishment of pensions for the widows and orphans of workingmen. Efforts are being made to continue the gliding scale agreement in South Wales and Monmouthshire for another year. In consideration of thie the coal owners agree to pay a slight additional rate for small coal, without any reduction. Extreme vigilance Is required to pre vent the smuggling into the country of a large number of the most undesirable elements of Mexican peons, who are willing to work at from 25 to 3% ceats a day. Their field of labor lies in the mines of Colorado and New Mexico. At San Francisco, Cal, the Retail Clerks’ Union has submitted its new trade rules to the employers, which are to become effective January 2, 1903. The schedule touches only the hours of la bor and the question of holidays, no de- mands being made as to wages, the ex isting pay being continued. At Oakland, Cal., switchmen in the ‘¢mpley of the Southern Pacific Company have been given .a mew wage schedule, ‘which establishes a straight rate an ‘hour instead of the former wage rate of $75 a month for day men, and $89 and $50 a month for night men. The new rate is as follows: Day helpers, 28 cents an ‘hour: day foremer. 31 cents an hour; night foremen, 33 cents an hour. ~The §,000 employes in the shops of the Pullman Palace Car Company are pre paring to take a stand in support of a 'Aemand for shorter hours and no Sunday work. Later it is the purpose of the unions, it is asserted, to formulate a scale of wages providing for a slight ad vance, and submit it to the company. There are twenty different crafts or ‘trades employed in the shops which have been organized. There are now 297 labor organizations in Minnesota, of which 125 were or ganized during the last two years, ex clusive of 63 railroad organizations. These 297 organizations now have a to- ‘tal membership of 28,338, an increase of 12,958 over the membership two years ago.

At Anderson, Ind., representatives of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes and the Union Trac tion Company have agreed upon a wage scale for the men who have been in. the employ of the company less than two years. The two-year men will re ceive a raise of 5 per cent; the three year men, 15 per cent; the four-year ‘men, 15 per cent; the five-year men, 25 per cent. All employes who are mem bers of the association will be affected by the new schedule of wages. The award of the umpire appointed in connection with the proposed redue- tion of the wages of joiners employed in| the Wear shipyards was made known recently at Sunderland. It is precisely in accordance with the notice of the employers for reduction from 38 shillings pence to 37 shillings, and rules that this reduction shall become operative from January 1, 1908. It is expected that the award will affect the joiners’ strike on tha Tyne, where the men have heen out for some time against a proposed reduction.

The Washington Times PRANK A. MUNSEY PUBLICATION OFFICE, Tenth and. D Streets Venezuela in The Hague Court. An Arbitration by That Tribunal Would Sidetrack Cer tain Implications of the Monroe Doctrine. In urging President Roosevelt to refuse to act as arbitrator between Great Britain, Germany, and Italy, on the one hand, and Venezuela, on the other, certain American newspapers plant themselves on the not untenable ground that in assuming the responsibility of judging, and, perhaps, ultimately en forcing, European claims against a South American government, the United States would virtually be forced to recast the Monroe Doctrine.

There seems, indeed, to be no escape from the conclusion that this coun try, once engaged in the embarrassing task of auditing and liquidating South America’s debts to Europe, would soon find itself booked for an unbroken series of receiverships. If while forbidding European powers that ultimate recourse of the unpaid and angered creditor—the seizure and annexation of South American territory—the United States as an impartial arbiter should find judgment against a delinquent debtor like Venezuela, honor and reason alike would bind us either to secure to the injured plaintiff the satisfaction of his claim or to suspend, to the defendant's detriment, the territorial aggran dizement prohibitions of the Monroe Doctrine. Beyond doubt, if the President accepts the role which Germany, Great Britain, and Italy seek to thrust upon him, his Administration will be called on to readjust and regloss the Doctrine enunciated by Adams and Monroe at the instance of Canning. But in declining to act as umpire in a dispute which vitally concerns American policy—a dispute, too, in which no settlement can be reached which does not require the ultimate sanction of the United States—should we not, as a nation, slight and jeopardize the role to which we are committed in New World politics? Our assertion of the Monroe Doctrine involves a necessary limitation on the rights of an aggrieved European creditor, inasmuch as it forbids the satisfaction of European debts through sequestrations of American territory. No such limitation would be admitted or recognized by an international law tribunal. It has no more foundation in internatioual usage or contention than Mr. Olney’s famous dictum that on the two American continents “the fiat of the United States is law.” Can this country, then, seriously welcome the suggestion that the dispute betwee= Great Britain, Germany, and italy, on the one hand, and Venezuela, on the other, be sent for unconditional settlement to The Hague Conference Arbitration Court? A judgment given against Venezuela in that court would be unqualified by any recogrition of the scope or value of the Monroe Doc trine.

Venezuela defaulting in payment, the creditor powers would certainly be morally justified in seeking the only satisfaction left them—military seizure and territorial ammexation. But such a recourse would inevitably force a test of strength and purpose with the United States.

We explicitly declined at The Hague Conference to submit to au interna tional tribunal any differences arising out of our adherence to traditional American policy on distinctly American questions. We know that in that

court the Monroe Doctrine can expect no tolerance or recognition. Why, then, should we be so imprudently anxious tc invite an bitration in which the peculiar role assigned to the United States ia the sett) ment of American problems will be either wholly ignored or, at the best, da.zerously minimized? a Filipino “Toussaint L’'Ouverture” The Essential Difference in the Cases of the Haitian Leader and Tagalog Agitator. It is not surprising ty learn that Boston anti-imperialists are attempting ta secure the return of Apolinario Mabini from Guam, where he is spending his days in more or less comfortable exile, to Manila, the scene of his earlier in trigues and machinations. In their eyes the erstwhile chief of Aguinaldo’s “cabinet” is a much-abused patriot, held against all warrant of law in du rance vile, and presenting to the world the spectacle of a victim of political persecution. The letter, indeed, signed by Charles Francis Adams, Carl Schurz, Edwin Burritt Smith, and Herbert Welsh, and addressed to the President, com pares the mental suffering of Mabini in exile to that of Toussaint L'Ouver ture’s, whose life, they say, “was cut of by his imprisonment in a French fortress under the despotic rule of the First Napoleon.”

aT a La se ee Without wishing to question the historical accuracy of this statement— which we might do successfully, if so inclined—we shall rest content by pointing out the essential difference between the cases of Toussaint and Ma bini, The former died in a French prison without ever having bem given an opportunity to make his peace with the powers that imprisoned im; the latter is free to leave the island of Guam, over which he roams without let or hindrance, it he so desires, tomorrow, All that is required of him is an oath of allegiance to the United States. He prefers, it is said, to “maintain a principle.” What that “principie” is we have no means of knowing. We don’t much care, either. If Mabini is anxious, in addition to getting his board and lodging at the expense of the Government, to assume the part of martyr—that is his business, not ours; and it shouldr be that of our anmti-imperialistic friends. But they think differently, and, Heaven bless them! if it amuses them, who so cruel as to interfere while they coquet with the Toussaints and Washingtons of the Philippine Islands?

What, by the way, has become of Aguinaldo? Have his Boston admirers retired him from circulation? Or is he simply laid up temporarily, as it were, for repairs. An inglorious end, to be sure, to the career of a Filipino Wash ington; ome, moreover, that must make the prospect of wearing the martyr's crown appear anything but attractive to a Filipino Toussaint.

How They Do It. THE WASH iS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1902. THE ASSIMILATION OF. THE JEW. A Reply to RABBI JOSEPH SILVERMAN.

It takes a Jew to incite public sentiment against the Jew! The Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman, a reformed rabbi, has made himself conspicuous by his “kind” advice directed toward or thodox Jewry, which savers of anything but the “faithful woundings of the friend.”

He starts with a chewing of the old cud, an arguing of the question whether or not Jews are justified in persisting to call themselves a’ nation. The question of name is indeed of little or no consequence. Yet to argue the point we must not lose sight of the etymological signification of the term ‘‘nation,” which, according to authoritative lexicography, ‘‘originally denotes a family or race of men descended from a common progenitor.” Even in modern expression it implies a body of men linked together by language, or certain common inter ests, which feature is especially manifest in the case of the Jew, who is cognizable ae such in every land and region.

Considering all this it will be readily admitted that Jews are still a nation. Their nationalism is part and parcel of their ancient faith. Their religious hopes are also their na tional aspirations, and =o long as the Jewish religion is pre served and properly maintained, they will continue to be the peculiar people of yore.

“We are no longer a peculiar people,” says Rabbi Silver man, “save in our religion.” But what is our religion? Is it not coupled with this very term “peculiar people?” Who im posed it on us if not the Bible itself, and what is its purport ‘if not that we be steadfast in the profession of the unity of God and the observance of his law—though we be “the few est of nations,” though all the rest of mankind should differ with us in our views?

The moment we ease to be a “peculiar people” we cease to be Jews, and the Jewish religion advocated by Rabbi Silver man remains a holiow ani conceited ceremonial, anything but Jewish. Cbange the Sabbath day, quit the act of circumcision, cease to sanctify your conduct to “be holy as the Lord is holy,” contzminate your body by unclean food, leave off the phylacterics, and do away with such other peculiarities and “signs between God and the children of Israel,” and the Jew ish religion is no longer in existence; the life of the Jewish race is extinct, and the assimilation theory is accomplished without any special effort on the part of Jews.

There is no compromise in the Jewish religion. To be or pot to be is the only solution; either believe in the absolute unity of God and fulfill his commands, as ordained in the Bi ble, which itself is of divine origin, or take no stock in it— believe in nothing, pretend nothing, before the eyes of the world.

Let a Jew begin to be wandering in his faith, to esteem lightly the written or traditional law, and be is neither Jew nor man; neither honorable nor trustwor*hy. It wiil be par

Dentists In High Favor.

The American dental profession seems to possess a particular fascination for 01d World royalty judging from the ‘numerous occasions ca which members thereof are stated to have played the role of heroes in episodes which it would be polite to describe the ‘romances’ of ‘the reigning houses of Europe. i

i According to Carlist scandalmongers it was Queen Isabella's American dentist who was the father of the late King Alfonso. It was the exaggerated favor shown to an American dentist by the late King of Wurttemburg that led his minis ters to confront him with the alternative of either banishing his New England erony Or abdicating his throne. The American dentist was heard of once ‘more whep the Queen of Roumania left Bucharest and her husband in anger and disgust caused by the failure of her deeply cherished project of a marriage between her nephew, the crown prince, and her favorite maid of honcr, the sloe-eyed, blue-black haired and now portly Helen Vacarescu.

The late Dr. Thomas Evans certainly directed the flight of Empress Eugenie trom Paris after. the overthrow of the Empire in 1870, exposing thereby not only his property but even his life to danger at the hands of the infuriated revolutionary mob, and if we are to be lteve the assertions of the worthy doc ter, who was one of the most picturesque figures of his day, !t was he who nego tiated her marriage with Napoleca, and who afterward fulfilled many confidential ‘missions to foreign courts, both fer the Emperor and for herself. His nephew Dr. John Evans, who, by grace of the Pope, is Marquis d'Oyley, and who has earned a large fortune by caring for the teeth of those scions of royalty who visit Paris, is the most intimate European friend of the present Shah, who has showered all sorts of honors upon him.

An Exception to the Rule. It is not therefore altogether astonish ing that when it became known that the crown princess of Saxony had abandoned

Sangster in Every Where. her husband and left for foreign parts everybody at once jumped to the conclu sion that it was an American dentist once more who was the hero of this romance, and who by looking into her teeth, had won her heart. It is rather disappoint ing, under the circumstances, to learn that the person respensible for this ma trimonial shipwreck at Dresden was merely a French professor, and not a member of the dental profession of the United States.

It cannot be deried that popular sym pathy Is largely with the fugitive crown princess, as her husband has never been popular. In fact he has been ever since he came of age the most cordially dis liked member of his family, and is as dull-witted as his wife is bright.

Interesting Stories of Royalty. That he should have been a faithless husband is not astonishing in view of his ancestry. For he is descended from that King Augustus the Strong of whose domestic arrangements Carlyle gives us such a graphic description in his story of Frederick the Great. The grandfather of the crown prince, old King John of Saxony, was so sensible to the fascina tions of the fair, even in his old age, that a foreign envoy accredited to his court was forced to ask for an immediate transfer owing to the old King's unwel come and persistent attentions to his daughter.

The late King of Saxony had a large family of children born to a union not sanctioned by the church, the mother being an actress who was compelled to leave the kingdom along with her family, when he was forced much against his will to marry Queen Carolia. The crown prince’s aunt, that is to say, the sisters of King George of Saxony, Is that old Duchess of Conan, who only a few months after the death of her first hus band became so infatuated in her good looking chamberlain, the Marchese Ra polo, that her spi-tual adviser insisted on immediate marriage as the means of legitimizing a condition of affairs that could not be tolerated by ihe church.

ticularly noticeable that the truly religious Jew is steadfast in his loyalty to state and has the highest respect for ex isting authority. Hi_ very religion demands of him a pray ing and striving for the welfare of the land wherein his lot is cast. Anarchy and demoralization are the products of “free thought,” and deviation from the dictates of religion, whether they occur in the slums of a ghetto or amidst the fashionable quarters of the upper West Side of New York city. The accusaticns made against Jews on the ground of orthodoxy and the pecullar practices of religion are as un just as they are unfounded. The orthodox Jew, as a rule, is a loyal, a law-abiding citizen; he feels for his country, rejoices at its progress, sympathizes in its grief, is solici tous for its welfare and will readily give his life in its de fense. A Mordecai Noah, a Judah Touro, and other Jewish American patriots were pious and consistent Israelites, not reformers. Moses Montefiore, Isaac Cremioux, and other benefactors of humanity descended from our race were and are genuine Jews. Even a Disraeli and a Heine, whom cir cumstances impelled to embrace another creed, even they had after all pronounced themselves more of sympathizers with Judaism than are the reformed of the present age, the advo cates of assimilation. If the priests of reform presume to settle the Jewish question by an overthrow of Judaism they are grossly mis taken. The eight or nine million orthedox Jews all the world over will never assimilate, and never give ear to sucha theories. Centuries of trial have made Israel's faith proof against any onslaught from within or without. It matters not whether it be accounted natural or abnormal, the fact remains that the Jew will never relinquish his hold on life, never succumb to a suicidal extinction of his race by as similation, And, in truth, so long as the world at large has not vet assimilated the Jew, he must remain at his post, for this is his mission, to teach the world of gne God for one brother hood of mankind, and this by the Bod testimony of his own existence as a pecullar people. As the master of the situ ation would have everybody aboard and then enter himself, so the Jew must Le the last of all to yield; as he was the first one to prom:lgate divine truth, He has but one God and has nothing to give up. Either a Jew or an atheist. The Jew can’ only propagate to the world a universal assimilation, and when this end is accomplished join the hap py fraternity, who are all children of one Universal Father. But to assimilate himself, to let himself be enguifed by the current of surrounding environments without having ac complished that purpose—this will never occur.

ng Victor =m ed by the marriage, Archbishop “Spoiled the Shaw A peculiarity of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, which I have pot seen referred to in any of his obituaries, was the extraordinary harshness and rasping character of his voice—a peculiarity of which he was well aware, and concern ing which he was wont to tell al] sorts of amusing stories.

Among them was one to the effect that on a Sunday evening, having slipped into a back pew of a popular church in the East End of London, and joined in the singing of a Moody and Sankey hymn from a hymn book which had been ex tended to him in friendly fashion by a laboring man, the latter at the end of the first verse drew away the hymn book from him, gave him a dig in the ribs with his elbow, and remarked in a loud whis per: “Here, dry up, mister, you're spollin’ the show.”

The Parker Presidential boom is hav ing a renaissance in the South. Here and there in all parts of Dixie sentiment in favor of the Empire State jurist abounds. The statesmen of the South, after following the illusive rainbow of promise in the West, have again turned their eyes toward the Bast, and their gaze rests upon the modest and retiring mar who might have been governor of the State had not certain events hap pened of which every man in New York with any political instinct knows full well, At this early date, a year and a half before the nominating convention is held, prominent Democratic politicians are beginning to talk Parker in a way which indicates that ‘his honor” may be called by the great quadrenauial con clave of his party in 1904, to leave the bench and become Democracy’'s standard bearer. Certain it is that the South, as has been evident for some time, is wearied of its alliance with the West, and is willing to break the silver cord and reunite with the Democrats of the Empire State in the hope that victory may once more perch upon their banners. f

West Nothing to Offer The West has nothing more to offer, new that silver is no more; it has no other bond of political sympathy with the land of cotton. The West, as was manifested by the election last month, ‘has practically returned bag and bag gage to the Republican party. Hence, whether they would or not, the Demo crats of the South must join with their old allies, the Democrats of the Bast. But in the changes which have been wrought in the past ten years, more than New York is necessary to insure victory, but with New York in line. there is at least hope. Southern poli ticians believe that Judge Parker will be able to carry the Empire State, and that he will prove a strong candidate in those other States which were formerly found in the Democratic column, namely, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, and Indiana, Then they will stand some show of winning. The latest recruit to the Parker ranks is the Hon. Joseph W. Bailey, and he has carried with him practically all the Texas delegation in Congress. This is significant, for the distinguished Senator fromr the Lone Star State has heretofore been aoc credited to the followers of Gorman. The effect will no doubt be to influence many other Southern leaders, who have expressed themselves as favorable to the supposed candidacy of the Maryland Senator. Today, Judge Parker would undoubtedly receive the solid vote of the Texas delegation in the comvention. and unless there is for some reason a change of sentiment before the meet ing is held, he will continue to grow in strength, not only in Texas, but else where throughout the South.

Croker’s Christmas Card. Richard Croker, from his quiet home in Wantage, sent a Christmas remem brance to each of his old Tammany chieftains and leaders, and this fact is belleved by many to indicate that the former “boss” is to return and assume his old post at the head of the great political organization. His gift was not a bottle of Pastuerizéd milk, as might have been expected, but to cach he mailed simply a card, probably one with a flower upon it, perhaps holly or mistletoe, and an apropriate Yule tide rhyme. It was just to let them know that he had not forgotten their faithful services and their favors. The gifts should not be regarded as sig nificant. When Richard Croker, if be

Until a few years ago there was in Gentryville an oid wooden fire shovel, on which Lincoln had traced these verses:

Time—What an empty vapor tis, And days, how swift they are; Swift as an arrow speed our lives, Swift as a shooting star, The present moment—— The stanza was not finished, but it was kept for many years until the old fire shovel disappeared, and its where abouts are unknown to this day.

There used to be a character around Gentryville in its early days known as “Old Holmes,” who was often intoxi cated. One winter night “Old Holmes" would have been frozem but for Lincoln, whe found him and cc rried him home, sitting up all night to resuscitate him. This incident started a temperance wave over Spencer county, and the debates were startling and interesting.

Half way up the long wandering street for many years stood an old blacksmith shop. In front of it was a wide spread ing tree, that still waves its boughs, but every sign of the old shop is gone.

The ground on which stood the smithy for years was owned by the Rev. Fred Heuring, past commander of the Indiana Grand Army of the Republic, but is now the property of Jacob Dendinger, the town marshal

i This old blacksmith shop was a fa mous place in the life of Gentryville and was a favorite resort for the people of Spencer county. The oid blacksmith, whose name every one seems to have forgotten, was a nat ural story-teller, and he had around him a crowd of as good story-iellers as him self.

Abraham Lincoln was at this shop a great deal, and It was a common resort for his father, Thomas Lincoln, argl Abraham's uncles, John and Dennis Hanks. The shop was the country newsstand and the lecture platform, and it was there that Abraham Lincoln learned many of the stories that he told in after life. i

To return to New York would mean a renewal of strife, of cliques, factions, and contests, not compatible with the nature of a man who desires to lead a simple pastoral life, far removed from the turmoil of politics. The Christmas cards do not mean that Richard Croker is to come back and depose the Hon. Charles F. Murphy, whose brief career at the head of Tammany has been mark ed with signal success.

After having served his State in Con gress for sixteen years the Hon. Samuel Willis Tucker Lannam will ‘resign his membership in the House on January 20 to become governor of the State of Texas, to which office he was elected last November. His immediate prede cessor, Governor Sayers, left Congress to become the executive of the Lone Star State, and it is becoming quite popular for members to quit Washington for State capitals. The reason for it is probably to be found in the fact that in the House of Representatives with its large membership a man, unless there be special reasons in his favor, is obliged to sink his peiscaaiity.and to a large extent lose his individuality. He is simply ome of many. He votes with his party, and generally follows the dictates of its leaders, while as the governor of a sovereign State one is supreme within its borders. As governor he is a ruler; as a Congressman he is ruled. While this is not particularly true of the Hon. Samuel Willis Tucker Lanham, whose career in Congress has been a long and able one, he has decided to round out ms political life with a term as governor of the largest State

in the Union, an honor -any man might be proud to have _ upon him. Mr. Lanham began his service in the Forty-eighth Congress, and has served continuously with the exception of two terms, the Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth Congresses, when he 4ezlined to be a candidate. He has won the love and respect of members on both sides of the chamber, and while congratulating him upon his election to the governorship, they at the same time deplore his loss to the House. His seat will remain vacant for the sPemAinger of the term. Vicksburg, and which was one of the most famous of Lincoln's stories. Sykes had a dog that was a nuisance, and some one fed him a large cartridge that exploded, and the animal never amounted to muck afier that as a’dog. Lincoln's application of the story was that those who “were complaining of Grant for paroling so many of Pember ton"s army did not realize that after the fall of Vicksburg it did not amount to much as an army. The Crawford School, which Abraham Lincoln attended, was situated about three miles from here. It was built of round logs and was not more than six feet high. Some of the older Dersons in this country remember their parents telling of Andrew Crawford, the teacher, and his brother, Josiah Crawford, the latter known as “Blue Nose" Crawford, a name given him by Abraham Lincoln.

Josiah Crawford once loaned Lincoln a copy of a “Life of Washington,” and Linceln got the book wet, for which Crawforv charged him 75 cents, a debt that Lincoln paid by working for three day pulling fodder.

The local history is that he hever for gave Josiah Crawford, and the name “Blue Nose,” that it is said he gave him, is part of the legends of Spencer county to this dav.

LONDON, Dec. 10.—Despite the im mense popularity of zlmost everything “which W. W. Jacobs writes, there is probably no prominent English author about whose personality readers ‘know Yess. Ever since “Many Cargoes™” made its appearance and the word went round that there was a new funny man, Ja ~ecob’s place among the most widely read authers in this country has been un questioned, but as to what manner of man he is there has been little or no in formation. It was, of course, revealed that the author of “The Skipper's Woo ing” was what is known in Fngiand as a “civil servant”—in the government savings bank department---who had sud denly discovered that he could write the sort of stories the public wants. Later on come the announcement that, having convinced himself that he was losirg money every day he remained in the government service, Mr. Jacobs had quitted it in order to “devote himself to writing,” but till no detnils as to the humorist’'s appearance, age, or tastes were vouchsafed. Probably few of W. W. Jacob's readers know what his two unclad initials stand for. So it may be remarked that the author's full style Is “William Wymark Jacobs.” He is a bachelor and his years are thirty-nine, but his slight figure, light hair and clean shaven face make him look much young er. He is rather reserved, quiet, and geldom permits himself more than s chuckle when he is amused. He lives in the country now, near Epping Forest, in which he takes long walks.

Jacobs got his knowledge of the life of the quays and the shipping through Being born the son of a wHrf manager at Wapping on the Thames below Lon don. His life as a “‘clark™ in the post ‘office began in 1883, and his first literary efforts were coniributions to the ama "teur paper published by the staff. His unsigned skits therein tickled his fel fow-employes so much that their author was encouraged to send a manuscript te “Today.” If was prompily accepted by Jerome K.

Jacobs is content to write his stories in the old-fashioned way. He neither dictates nor uses a typewriter. He con fesses to one peculiarity, however—that of nding it next to impossible to write until the different fixtures on his desk are arranged with precision—the ink pot exactly so many inches above his blot ting pad, with two pens ‘supporting’ it on either side, and copy paper in a neat pile on the left, The anthor also de geribes himself as ineurably lazy and says he never ean make himself begin ‘work uniil the last possible moment for doing so has arrived,

But even though it be true in a measure, it were better certainly to pos sess a finely cut jewel without its set ting, a beautiful canvas or etching with out the frame, than to have neither. It is true that many of the pages of this book are illumined by brief and some what disjointed thoughts. They suggest the feast from which they were selected. They stimulate the heart and mind rath er than banquet them. But each thought so suggested, each truth expressed in teresting. Thomas Hardy names Mar garet L.

Edmund Gosse rather put his foot into it the other day when he rebuked Sir Edward Clarke, the famous legal light, for dabbling in literary criticism. The lawyer, in a speech, bad expressed the opinion that English literature had de clined since 1860. To this statement Edmund Gosse took exception, and also in a speech, described Sir Edward as “a certain prominent advocate who did not always confine himself to his own business.” The question as to whether the circumstance of a man's not beifig engaged in the profession of letiers de bars him from expressing opinion upon literary subjects has aroused much dis cussion and been productive of many letters to the “Times,” among them epistles from both Mr. Gosse and Sir Edward Clarke. The former's position has been generally condemned, but in no more telling fashion than by Augustine

The little child that Mrs. George Mad den Martin has ‘eated in “Emmy Lou: Her Book and Hearn,” is proving, every day, how real and true to life she is. She stands the prime test, namely, the scrutiny of children. She has quickly found her way to their hearts, and if she were really alive would certainly be far from lonely, for little folks all over the world are longing to be playmates with her. Scores of them are trying to find out about her and are writing their little letters to Mrs. Martin, hoping to reach her that way. Their childish confidence, you may be sure, is guarded most care fully by that lady, but some of the mis sives are so deliciously ingenuous that it would be a pity to keep them secret. One of the most delightful ones was written by a little boy in Brooklyn. It runs as follows: “Dear Mr. Martin [the youngsier as still under the impression that George Madden Martin is a man], am only a iittle Boy, but Papa says you can tell me what business Emmy Lou's father is in, and why he does not live with Aunt Cordelia and Emmy Lou, that is if you do not think Emmy Lou would mind it Yours.

It is ecrystalized and ripen ed. It sinks all the deeper into the hearteand memory perhaps because it is cut loose from context. And, above all, it is something that the busy man or woman can find time to stop and read. And he or she who reads a page of this incomparable collection of jeweled thoughts must needs be richer all the day for it. The book is divided into twelve hap ters, one for each month in the year, and for each month there is a subject, ranging from the simnle one for Jan Birrell, who, with characteristic pun gency, points out that Cervantes was a soldier, Montagne a country gentleman, Bacon an English lawyer, Sir Walter Scott a Scotch lawyer, Izaak Walton a linen-draper, and Richardson a printer, while Mr. Gosse himself is a member of the board of trade!

John Morler's long-promised life of Gladstone, which is pow nearly Lnished, has been written under many difficulties and amid varied surroundings. The vork has occupied Mr. Morley three years, and just -vhen substantial progress had been made with it many changes became necessary, Queen Victoria's death having left the biographer free to include much that it had at first been thought better to omit. Several writers have assisted Mr. Morley, among them William T. Stead’s gon. At different stages in his work, the author has lived at Hawarden and Hasle mere in order to be close to Gladstone's former homes. Sir John Millais’ portrait of the Grand Old Man will be used as one of the illustrations of Morley’s work, for which, by the way, a large sale in Amer ica Is expected.

“Magyar Types” is a collection cf eth nological half-tones, published by Dr. Johann Janko, under the anspices of the Royal Hungarian Ministerium fur Cultus und Unterricht (Budapest). A German text of introduction and descriptions ae companies the Hungarian. In view of the fact that, on the basis of language, ethnologists rank the Mag yars, together with the Finns, as of Mongoloid stock, the importance to sci ence of any exhibitions of the physical type of the pure Magyar is at once ap parent. The present collection is far more extensive and exact than Ri.'»y's in his “Races of Europe.” The effort has been made by Dr. Junko to fix upon districts “whose population ig homogeneous historicaiWy, linguistic ally, and ethnographically,” and there to collect his types. The photographs he has reproduced are labeled scien tifically under the items of hame, oeccu pation, age; color of eyes, hair, and beard; shape of nose, stature, circum ference of head, and cephalic index. The subjects are all peasant farmers, and the most noticeable physical feature is that of pronounced brachyceynaly. This is sometimes excessive (93.2 in one case), but is unaccompanied by any other consistently Mongoloid character. The half-tones are only passable, yet they serve their purpose better than a lengthy description could do. It is ta be hoped that the series will be con Linued.

It is difficult to say which of these subjects has given best food for thougnt to this clear-sighted man of God. But it seems as if his highest flights are reached when he discourses on social ‘ideals and on the Fatherland, America, of which he is so fond and in which he ‘sees such promise of the future. He compares it joyfully with the “‘sad, ‘weird, dreamy Orient;” with Olympian Greece and mighty Rome; with “the great Christian dream of the Middle Ages: with the Renaissance. And he finds in the Christian present, in the na ‘tion founded by the Christian Washing ‘ton, the hope of maukind and of the fu fare.

Excerpts From His Writings. Elsewhere is printed some excerpts from his writings. But this passage is one which speaks of today and interesis the people of today. And it might have been written to correct some of the mis takes and false doctrines of today: “And so, the great concern of the world today is The People—not dynas ties, mor prvilaged classes, but The People: For what else, indeed, did God decree human society, but for the wel fare of the millions? Any other concept of society is an error, framed by egoism of one kind or another; and every sys tem of egoism the Nemesis of History crushes at last. It may leave weeping and bleeding myriads in its track before it disappears; but disappear it must, and humanity rises to better things. “And since the welfare of the millons is the end of society and government, it follows that in ihe nature of things the millions must come at last ic have a say and a hand in the organization of society and the direction of government. As the society body grows to seifcon sciousness, it must grow to the knowl edge of what is best for it; it must grow toward self-government. The individual grows to manhood and self-control, so ciety to manhood and self-government, Nonsense Anthology. It was a happy thought in Miss Caro lyn Wells to make her “Nonsense Anthol ogy,” and few could be better fitted for the task than one whose precept and verse assure her attitude toward this im portant department of literatare—an at titude compounded of reverent adherence and the expert's sense ¢f humor, with this still further specialized into an un erring flair for whatever stamps humor as nonsense. Nonsense (technical. non sense, be it understood) has a claim of long descent. In this collection are early English examples dating back to 1617. The assembly of ar.hors is gentleman chaperoned (for it is instructive to find but three women's names among those of contributory writers, whatever our sus picions may be as to certain anonymous verses) by such dignity as Ben Jonson, Dr. Johnson, Goldsmith, Milton and Bishop Corbet, who in the seveni2*enth century writes verses beginning “Like to the thundering tone of unspoke speeches,” Lear, of course, Gilbert, and lewis Carroll figure prominently, but hosts of others sit up worthily with these kings. We must venture, in spite of the illustrative anecdote, to take exception to a statement in the preface that “it is a fact that among the general reading com munity the appreciators of Lewis Carrjll are surprisingly few.” But even this trifling stricture Is needless, since, if the capable editor is mistaken on this point, correction’s tidal wave will swiftly over take her. The indexes are satisfying, the make-up trim and commendable; the volume is one that “no family can afford to be without.” We are persuaded that the compiler will feel that it has served its purpose if it sends its readers to the great originals; and should it thus be made the humble instrument of acquaint ing them with ncnsense dignified by age, and with their Gelett Burgess, their Oli ver Herford, their Owen Seaman, their Peter Newell, it will not have been col jected in vain. sy 1 A H— y HE Pictures of a Volcano in Action. The forthcoming volume upon the de struction of Saint Plerre by Prof. Angelo Heilprin, will contain perhaps the most accurate illustrations of an eruption which have ever been seen. Dr. Heilprin took these photographs himself during the progress of the second eruption, and they have been produced with an atten tion to detail which will make them of renl scientific value, aside from their in tense interest as pictures of one of the most extraordinary and terrible outbursts of nature recorded in history. The chap ters in the book itself are of the most thrilling interest, the author happily combining the accuracy of statement, which makes his book valuable to the technical mind, and the pictorial quality, which brings the scenes he witnessed sharply before the reader.

The more perfectly Loth labor and capital are orgamtzed, the more per fectly are they amenable to the control of public law and authority. It is hard to take thousands of separated law-breakers by the throat; but it is €asy to seize and control an organization that unites them all. Organization should be encouraged, but all organizations should be bound in strict re sponsibility. Ere long, a code of wise and just laws can be formed for their control, consonant with both principle and experience. Then each form of organizaticn wiil be invaluable in guiding, controlling, and uplifting the individual laborer and the individual capitalist, and Their united force will be an incalculable leverage for the world’s progress.

We need not be ag hard and stern and extreme and intol erant as they; but we need more of their aversion to luxury and pomp and greed for wealth. We cannot afford to sap our country’s manhood by sensual indulgence of any sort; nor waste it in the vulgar scramble for gold. Truly, ‘the great question is not what .naaner of producer, but what manner of man, the American of the funture is to be.” Looking Into the Future. Looking into the future with prophetia vision, “Father Keane,” as thousands of old friends still continue to call him, ‘sees this spectacle of his country’s destiny fulfilled: “America today seems to threaten the nations with financial ruin by the in vasion of her products and industries, They stand in awe of her as a world power and her irresistible competition in the markets oi trade. Both of these vast energies, which have lain dor mant, suddenly burst on a startled world together. No wonder that the nations stand aghast. But in all this there is no threat for the world’s future. America's victories in the pursuits of peace have already opened the eyes of tiie nations to the folly of militarism, which only wields the sword, and of arisiocracy, which, being today stripped of its rapier and plumes, is only fit for kid gloves and perfumes and Zrimaces. “Ere long, international law will rule the world instead of bayonets and battle ships; and every man will deem it hon orable to work, and a shame not to ear: his bread manfully; and reciprocity of trade will break down barriers of na tional hostilities that have been the world’s disgrace for centuries; and America, after having earned the world's gratitude by occastoning all this, will need all her products at home, for the hundreds of millions who are teaching the peoples of the earth how to be pros perous and happy.” Archbishop Keane is invincible in his optimism.

Lippincott Company, is now on his way tc another field of exploration in some of the wildest parts of the globe, after appearing before sev eral learned societies in England and Ireland. His recent volume, which, by the way, is an example of perhaps the finest reproduction in black and white of photographs that has yet been seen, has been received by the scientific press and by critics of serious mind with uni versal praise, and the “London Daily Telegraph” itseif bas stated “that all who are intercsted in sociology should not fail to read this delightful book.” Max Beerbohm, the English dramatfe eritie, has written te his friend, Richard Le Gallienne, remonstrating with him for staying so long in New York, where Mr. Le Gallienne has been seeing his new romance, “An Old Country House,” through the Harpers’ press. Mr. Beer bohm, in urging Xi friend's return to British shores, dropped into the follow ing verse: Bewitched by American bars, Pan calls you back home on his pipes; We love. you for loving the stars, But what can you see in the stripes? Mr. Beerbohm has just been elected president of the London Playgoers’ Club, and is probably the youngest president that well-known organization has ever had.

The poem created a sensation and I was importuned for the name of the au thor—but was obliged to confess my ignorance. For some time searched in vain, but when your first volume, ‘Harm Ballads,” was republished in England, I found my favorite recitation there, with others just as good. I have used it scores of times since, and it never fails to bring down the house.”

INDIFFERENT SHOWING OF BANK STATEMENT

1 Decrease in Actual Cash Larger Than Preliminary Estimates—Reduction of $539,000 in Loan Accdunt. Market Shows Irregular Ten dencies—A Reaction in Prices Reflects Heavy Profit-Taking Sales. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—The stock market opened strong and active with the dealings in genera] displaying the same characteristics that have been present throughout the week. Subse quently irregular tendencies developed.

The reaction in prices reflected quite heavy profit-realizing sales, and these seemed to have been induced by misgiv ings as to whether the bank statement was likely to make so favorable a show ng as bad been anticipated. This morn ing’s intelligence from Washington con tained suggestions also that the disposi tion of the Venezuelan question was not 88 yet so definite as was assumed yester dav. There was little else in the morning's news of gemeral or particular im portance. The weekly reports of the mercantile agencies setting forth the state of the country’s trade showed ac tive and seasonable conditions prevail ing in every direction. In the railway list the active features were Bele. Atchison, the Rock Island ‘stocks, St. Paul, the Pacific shares, and a St. and Ohio. Price movements therein were quite uniform.

Among the miscellaneous and indus trial issues, Amalgamated Copper was coaspicuousiy strong and the United Btates Steel shares were fairly steady on metive dealings, There were larger trans actions in the American Ice stocks than have been recorded for some time. Su gar Refining was firm.

The local traction stocks were not very prominent in the day's market, but moved in line with the general railway Jist. The London stock market was gen erally strong and moderate purchases for foreign account were conducted here shen business opened. The bank statement made a rather in different showing. A decreast in ac tual cash of $2020 000 was reported, which was larger than any of the pre liminary estimates. In the loan account decrease of $553,000 was shown.

These alterations were inadequately reflected in the item of deposits, which fell away $1,902,000, as a result of the other changes; surplus reserves de creased $1,544,000, which leaves the banks’ cash holdings still $6,549,000 in excess of the lawful requirements, with the Gov ernment’s deposits included in their lia bilities. Eliminating those deposits, sur plus reserves would appear at about $16,500,000. Following were the quotations at 1 p. m. today: id Open. High. Low. 1 P.M. Amal. Copper...... 60 63% 59% 63% Amer.

The bank statement was in a measure disappointing in not showing a smaller decrease in the reserves, and a corres ponding increase In deposits. The loss in specie is explained by the withdrawal of gold by depositors in presumably small amounts for Christmas. Practl cally all arrangements for the January disbursements have now been made, and as this is the last bank statement of the year, it is believed the money mar ket from this time on will improve. This evidently was the belief of room-traders and commission houses today, who bought the market liberaily, and as a consequence, prices closed higher than last night. The new stocks of Rock Isl and made higher prices, and, together with Copper, were the features of the day's trading. In the last named stock there is undoubtedly a iarge short in terest, and its rise was attributed to

their covering. The bank's statement was as follows Reserve on deposits, decrease......... $1,544,400 Reserve, other than United States,

increase Transactions in bonds yesterday were equal to what they were a year 2go, and $1,800,000 below what they were in 1900. This is one of the most potent signs of the market gelling ready to advance. li ices in stocks opened high, and subsequeatly worked off; but became stronger near the close, and there was ‘a perceptible increase in values through out the whole list. The only cause which acts as a governor upon the market is the money rate; when that advances prices go off, but when morey goes down to a price which is high under ordinary conditions, then prices im madiately advance. It seems to make ‘no great difference about the rate, if it only remains lower than the high price of the day.

i It is rumored that the United States circuit court in Chicago will soon hand down a decision which will sustain the position of People’s Gas abcut the un. constitutionality of the ordinance of the Chicago councilmen establishing a rate of 75 cent for gas. The antagonism this company has withstood from State and city officials has hardened the company to almost any hardship, but it believen that 756 cent gas would be ruinous to its business, and apparently the court thinks the same way, if th-re be any truth in the rumor that the result of the decision is known. At least the stock ad vanced under heavy buying, presumably by the Gates crowd. It was not so many years ago that the practice of Issuing passes was gen eral, and anyone occupying a political position was quite sure of recelving free transportation by merely asking for it. After the passage of the inter state commerce law this pr.ctice sub sided to a large extent, particularly so far as Federal officeholders were con cerned, ana with the beginning of that movement railroad officials have dis criminated with great acumen. They have all realized what President Lo ree, of the Baltimore and Ohlo, stated £0 bluntly that maintaining fast and ex pensive passenger trains is unprofita ble and is a play to the grandstand. In the past year the lines concerning the issuing of passes have been drawn more firmly than ever before, so much so that even ratiroad officials in the West have not been given former courtesies over Eastern roads. It promises as a result of a recent meeting of passenger agents that pext year the anti-exchange pass system will be more stringently enforced than ever, and a railroad offi cial must be identified with a trunk line to get a pass over another road, while the ordinary private or political citizen will not get any

The wages of engineers and frainmen ou the St. Pavi and the Northwest have been increased 5 per cent. This advance was made in response tc a request for an advance of 20 per cent pretented by delegates of the two associations.

In a recent classified statement of commedities carried by the Erie It is shown that about 60 per cent of the whole freight carried is confined to hard and soft coal and iron and steei and their products. This is rather a remark able showing In the character of freight, as the Erfe runs through the mos: thick ly populated part of the country, and It might be easily supposed that other articles of commerce would lessen the large percentage of coal and iron. The fact that Erie has purchased the Penn sylvania Coal Company accounts, how ever, for the coal carried, wki+h in itself amounts to about 24 per -s.ut of the whole trafic bandied in 1901. This pur chase was made under the administra tion of Persident Underwood and large ly accounts for the increase in earnings of the road. It !'s shown by the state ment that the first preferred can pay 4 per cent, and even at the present adivi dend rate of 2 per cent is a 4 per cent stock at 68. It is also shown that the common stock will soon be In a con dition to pay some sort of a dividend. This improved condition is the result of seven years’ appropriation of earnings to improvements and betterments, un der a scheme which has proven to be wise and sound. Lately the different stocks have been steadily bought

In this, as in many other instances, however, there Is still the drawback of inadequate transporting facilities which restrict shipments to the seaboard. Finances Good. “Financial conditiops are satisfactory, money being in sufficient supply for com mercial needs, al'hough speculation is hampered by high rates. Bank exchanges for the week at this city were 2.7 per cent smaller than last year and 13.5 per cent larger than in 1899.

“Railway earnings thus far reported for the month of December surpass last year's by 5.0 per cent, and those of 1900 by 11.6 per cent.

“Quiet conaltions in the iron and steel industry, unaccompanied by any sign of ‘weakness, testify to the healthy tone and suggest a bright outlook for the coming year. “Reports from the South show a large increase in production as compared with any preceding year. The strongest de partment of this industry appears to be steel bars.

“New England shoe factories are in full operation and have liberal orders on hand. Quotations are firm but with out change, as there is little new busi ness coming forward at this time to pro duce fluctuations. Staple lines are spe cially strong in tone. Salesmen at the West send in large sample orders for fail styles, but no contracts of impor ‘tance have been placed as yet,

An unexpectediy favorable feature has appeared in the market for cotton goods. ‘After a long season of stagnation in the export division the demand for China suddenly became considerable notwith standing the depression in silver and liberal stocks of cottons in Shanghai. “Collections are satisfactory, both at the mills and with jobbers. In woolen goods there ig a good demand, overcoat ings providing the chief feature. but cloak manufacturers have also bought freely, especially of light-colored lines.

“Small fluctuations have occurred in the leading agricultural products, with only a moderate volume of speculation, and many exchanges closed for a double holiday. Corn has not recovered from the recent severe decline, although cash prices were not depressed proportion ately owing to the ready absorption of receipts. The car shortage held back much grain that would have come to market otherwise.

“Statistics of movement were inter rupted by the holiday, four full lays comparing with five last year, yet re ceipts of corn reached 7,155,108 bushels, against 2,586,180 bushels a year ago. Shipments from Atlantic coast ports steadily gain, 716,296 comparing with only 313,258 bushels a year ago. Wheat has strengthered slightly because of some adverse weather reports from abroad, while the domestic winter wheat condition is most favorable.

Interior Arrivals. “Interior arrivals of 3,213,009 bushels compare with 3,768 435 bushels last year, and total exports from all ports of the United States, flour included, were 850, 208 bushels for the week, against 3,540,972 last year. Northwestern flour mills have decreased output, but this is not unnat ural, es they had been surpassing all ree ords.

“Securities rose rather sharply on Mon day, but subsequently becamé irregular. It continues to be a market closely re lated to rates for money, the two auto matically adjusting each other. Stocks edvance because of cheap money, and the consequent expansion of loans hardens money, and Wall Street liquidates. “This promises to continue until Jan dary disbursements return to the banks.

It has been officially announced that the Columbia Baptist Church, of George town, has purchased the building at the northwest corner of Thirty-second and R Streets, which is now being adapted for church purposes. The house pur chased was formerly known as the “Yel low Tavern.” The property was owned by Mrs. Honorah Lawler, who bought it at public auction about a year ago. The consideration named in the deed to the trustees of the Columbia Church was $2,500. ~The first services will be held in the ‘new church about January 1. The con ‘tractor in charge of the improvements to the building has guaranteed to com plete them by the first of the year. It is the intention of the church au thorities to rent the second floor of the ‘building out while the first floor will be ‘used as a church and Sunday school. Since the organization of the church, ‘a little over a year ago, the congrega ‘tion has been worshiping in Baer’'s Hall ‘at the corner of Thirty-first and M Streets. Rev. James L.

PENNSYLVANIA'S PLANS FOR NEW YORK TUNNEL Terminal Station to Be Con structed as Hotel. PHILADELPHA, Dec. 27.—The more important details—-of the Pennsylvania Railroad's New York tunnel-terminal ‘plans are submitted, day by day, to President Cassatt for his approval. The whole thing is now being finally shaped up in all branches, and carried along simultaneously.

The tunnels, the passenger terminal, the work across the New Jersey mea dows, under New York city, and upon Long Island, are all in the hands of those especially assigned io each.

Just now particular attention is de voted to the terminal station. Here the train floor will be forty-two feet below the surface of the ground. It has been determined that thie hotel plan is the most desirable of all suggested, and this is being worked out.

1 There is a difference of opinion as to now many stories the hotel should be. It will not exceed ten, and may only be five, stories high. This will be gov erned by the necessities of light and ventilation for the great passenger ter minal underneath. For this reason the hotel will not cover the entire space— four blocks—pcoupied by the station. Great light and air wells will be left

It has not been decided fully how many stories will be required under the depot hotel for waiting rooms, railroad offices, and so on.

The tracks in the terminal will Me considerably higher than under the North and East Rivers, where the tun nels will reach their lewest level. There will be a rise from both sides to the center of Manhattan Island at the ter minal station. This will be a 1 per cent grade, fifty-three feet to the mile, so that the tracks in the station will be about sixty feet higher than at the low est point under the North River. The train floor in the station will be close to, or perhaps slightly above, tide level.

BESSEMER RAILROAD EXTENSION PLANS Contracts Amousting to More Than $2, 000,000 to Be Awarded in January. SHARON, Pa., Dec. 27.—Contracts amounting to more than $2,000,000 will be awarded by the Bessemer and Lake Erie Raiiroad in the latter part of Janu ary for improvement work to be done during 1903. The plans :re now being prepared by the company’s engineering department, but not until after the an nual meeting will bids be invited.

1

It ie proposed to issue new stock to the amount of $2,000,600 for the completion of the projected improvement work. Most of the plans have been worked out and provide principally for track ex tensions, including a branch from a point near Mercer to Sharoh and the big plant of the United States Steel Cor poration. The double-tracking of the line, whi¢h was commenced some time ago, will be rushed. The company’s yards will be enlarged and new pas

proof vault, $6 per annum and upwara. senger and freight depots will be erected at several pointe,

The company will also place orders for additional loccmotives and several hun dred new steel cars. About 100 miles of new rack must be laid in order to com plete the double-track system. Work is being carried forward from Greenville, ‘which is the main point of the Bes semer Rallroad. At North Bessemer, Greenville, and Conneaut Harbor the Bessemer has planned to build large freight terminals. In the North Bes semer yards the average capacity will be 2,000, which will tend to Increase the facilities of the road for handling freight. The company also intends to build a branch to reach the United ‘States Steel Works at Donora.
