n. j., committed suicide by shooting him
self at 2.2 East Fourteenth street yester-
day, while temporarily insane He grad
uated at Princeton several years ago and
had been adjudged insane from overwork
on a previous occasion. 1t is thought,
however, that there may have been
another cause, as the following note was
found in the room, dated Newton, De-
cember 10, addressed to him: " can be

REVIEW.


New YORK, December 2S.-All cable COM
munication was again suspended this morn
ing and our market opened rather slow.
The sentiment of the Reading strike, how
ever, rallied the coalers quite sharply, and
this had naturally good influence on the
whole list Quite late in the afternoon some
cables were received, and as the quotations
were below those current here, the advance
was checked 1t must be borne III mind,
however, that it is most probable that none
of our cables reached London to-day, and
we think the pause during the holiday has
brought about IA better feeling generally, and
that whatever Of a panicky nature existed
has been exhausted.
During the last hour the market became
quite strong. and there was evidently desire
to cover shorts while the supply was not ade-
ouatc. II looks 10 us like a better market.
The closing was strong.

CHINAMEN IN CHURCH.
How the Savannah Celestial Behaves
in Sunday School.


Something like amonth ago Rev. W. s..
Payne, pastor OF the Christian church on
Bolton street, conceived the idea OF start
ing a Sunday school for the Cinnamon in
Savannah. There are five laundries in
the city that are run by hierOglyphics and
Celestiais, and the Flowery Kingdom has
a total representation here OF perhaps
fifteen.
A week ago the NEWS contained an in
vitatiOn to all the Cinnamon in the city 10
attend the Christian church Sunday
school. Yesterday afternoon NEWS re-
porter, who had been an attendant at a
Chinese Sunday school at one time,
dropped in at the Christian church about
the time the Cinnamon should have been
porting over lessons containing the inter-
estlng information Ito John that "the cat
caught the rat" etc. The Chinese class
was not there, but Mr.. Payne was drill
ing his school for the quarterly @Xamina-
ton, which was to be held at night.
Mr.. Payne said that he invited two
laundrymen to come out to the school.
They accepted the invitation and were
present the next Sunday. One was
Chung Henry and the others sir name was
Wing. They were extremely polite. Their
hats were removed at the door, and upon
entering the auditorium they pulled out
pin or something and down dropped their
cues. They had just bare smatteriug
Of English. Mr.. Payne put the alphabet
or the blackboard, and that was the first
lesson. The next Sunday they came back
and they bad the alphabet perfect. They
were very apt. quick TO catch q point aud
retentiVe. so they we're given a reader
apiece. The third Sunday they had the
reading lessons down fine and were pro-
noted TO the second reader.
Last week Mr.. Payne visited them at
their laundries and found lnem studying.
Henry and Wing said they could not at
tend a Sunday morning class because
they harg Out their washing in the fore
noon. They recognize that 1t is impOr-
tant for them to learn to read and speak
English, and it is possible that all the
Chinese in the city can be formed into a
class in the course Of few months.
1t was suggested TO the pastor that he
would have 10 trouble in getting the
Celestlals TO attend if he would adopt the
plan pnactlced in most cities. In many
OF the large cities where there are Chinese
Sunday schools the teachers are all
young ladies connected with the church.
Each Celestial mas pretty teacher all to
himself. The attendance at those schools
is always good, but if teacher is sick or
does not come, her pupil takes holiday.
The scholars do not like to have the
teachers changed on them. The cue,
which is taken down when they enter
church. is given twirl as they pass out,
and it Is ''uDv in an instant
