ST. STEPHENS CHURCH FAIR.

Brilliant DispIay-Grand Collection Of
Fancy ArticIes-Pleasnnt Pr0menadIng and
Scientific Selling-The Object Of the Fair.
The fair at st. stephens church opened on Mon
day evening with every prospect OF beng brill
liant success For first evening the attendance
was very large, and had the advantage OF being
neither IDLE nor ungenerous, but proved itself
sympathetic and charitable assemblage, who had
come TO give, and gave. Much OF the pleasure Mon
day evening was due to the organst OF the church,
Mr.. Danforth, under whose direction select Or
chestra discoursed favorite music. and thus af.
forded the thousands who attended during the
evening
THE INsPIRITINa ACCOMPANIMENT
Of the promenade As for the tables, they displayed
collections OF almost every conceivable article OF
fancy Sort while the more solid and costly presents
OF the wealthy members OF ST. Stephens parish pre-
sented themselves in p rOfusion as tempting objects
to the admring Visitors While It must be nd.
mtted that the visitors to the lair were mostly
ladies, Of all ages from tiny youth to venerable old
age u IL but rgnt 70 add tnat lovers OF 'ne Deaai
be bewildered by the succession OF such pleasant
panorama as the promenade provided. Yesterday
the tables were even In more elaborate order
than on the preceding evening, and u richness and
exquisite taste were everywhere visible in the hall
The usual persistent efforts at money making were
also more marked among the ladies. Where
there are so many thousands OF articles SO worthy
OF praise 1t woula be invidious SO soon to
partfcularize some objects rather than Others and
therefore each table is left to for ITSELF without
special comment But 1t Is worth while to refer to
the noble object for which the lair has been gotten
up During the years the Rev. DR.. McGlynn has
been pastor Of st. Stephens, while ne has given to
his parish q most splendid temple OF worship he
has not been unmindful OF
THE POOR, THE UNFORTUNATE AND THE ORPHAN
He sought TO found within the limits Of his parish
institutions that would meet wants not hitherto
supplied; to bestOw shelter where cold contempt
mad before the response and to take under the
klndest protection orphan children To accomplish
these things needed the establishment of insttu-
tiOns and large cutays OF money. The success
ana great results which have awarded the pastors
labOrs have not only forbidden the idea OF abandon
ing the undertakings already entered into, but
render necessary an enlarged sphere OF aclion ana
consequent expenses For the necessary working
OF the several asyums In the parish debts have been
ncurred ana Is to clear or these that the fair Is
especially commended as an agreeable way to do
charitable deeus. The fair Will continue several
days, receiving additional contributions each day
IN the various departments.

GOVERNMENTS STRONG

GOVERNMENTS STRONG.
The government list was weak early in the day, In
sympathy with the decline in gold, but the current
OF prices was suddenly reversed by the immense I'M
provement In London, ana the closing transactions
were at o corresponding advance. The market has
been quite active for the past few days. resulting
from large orders to buy for the account
of capitalists and corporations wishing to avoid
local taxation by holding their means In govern
mcnt bonds at the close OF the year. The following

STOCKS UNSETTLED AND STRONG.
The stock market was the scene OF hot battle
pretty nearly all day between tho 'bulls'' and
"bears.n The "boars," pressing the advantage OF
stringent money and being temporarily assisted by
the apprehensions excited by the failure OF the
Ocean Bank. made vigorous attack early in
the day and succeeded in getting the market
down about x per cent; but 1t soon
eluded their efforts to control 1t and
rapidly turned in the upward direction. the ad-
vance late in the day being sufficient not only TO
recover all the decline OF the morning. but to put
prices 10 the highest figures made since the Chicago
fire. The feeling at the close was strong and buoy
ant in consequence OF report that the "bears,"
discouraged by their numerous failures to break
prices by tightening the money Market had aban-
doned their purpose and would restore the locked
upn money to the banks. In the miscellaneous
railways Hannibal and st. 10 preferred advanced
