The Congregational Church.

The work in the interior Of the Congregs
tional church, with the exception Of the
Sunday school room. is nearly finished, and
all that now remains is the placing of the
cushions on the seats and the putting down
of the carpets. The auditorium, with the
exception Of the side walls, has been remod-
died, the seating arrangement changed, and
the floor pitched toward the rostrum. The
choir loft hiss been moved outward and is
now approachable by stairs Oh each side.
The seating arrangement leaves an aisle on
each side and two central aisles thereby
vastly increasing the accessibility of the
pews. All the woodwork has been tinted a
light chocolate trimmed with darker but

Phillippson, Of Chicago, is very beautiful.
The prevailing tints are light chocolate,
French gray and light yellow, with orna-
mental work of Roman style. The center
pieces of the large panels In the arched
ceiling, are perhaps the finest in the city

Il. II. Trask, the jeweler, is shut off, as it
we're, from the contents Of hib large safe,
containing thousands Of dollars worth Of
watches, diamonds and jewelry. 1t occurred
last Friday evening During the day, a
stranger, representing himself to be the
representative of the safe makers, entered
the store and with Mr.. Trask's consent, he
changed, or said he changed the combins
ton of the safe. When night came, Mr..
Trask locked the safe and went away, but
upon the following morning found that the
inner doors were locked too securely to be
opened. He tried nearly hundred combi'
nations, but none would work, and on Mon,
day telegrsphed for an expert, who has been
working on the safe ell this week. The door
is of solid chilled steel, two inches thick
and he hopes to open it by Monday, by drill.

The mammoth stock at IL. J. Glllen's for
fall and winter is now practically all in, and
TO say that it is complete is but doing II

but faint idea et the real magnitude aud
excellence OF the assortment Nor can a
mention of the lines of dress goods, silks,
velvets, pushes and the numerous side lines
of trimmings, sc, 10, by name give the
readers fair view of those splendid stocks.
Yet in all these lines, the house has an as
sortment that cannot be duplicated in the
county, at prices that probably cannot be
touched by any other house in the county
The cloak stock is equally full containing
every grade of goods from low priced
garment to the finest line Of pushes, backed
by the strongest guarantees Of color and
quality, all offered at prices all buyers
thus far have unhesitatingy pronounced 10"
when quality is the test Of value.
Indeed, this fall stock contains every line
of seasonable and desirable goods, not only
in the lines mentioned but in cloths, blank
cts, fapnels, underwear, and all other fal!
goods Low prices on second quality OF
goods are not shown as the test Of low
prices, but low prices on first quality are
offered in the regular, every day course
of trade as the true and only criterion OF
low prices, Buyers are invited to call and
satisfy themselves that the stock is complete
and that the low prices are in fact offered
on guaranteed qualities of fabrics in every
department.

CHICAGO. Sept. 12.-There was pretty
fair trade in the aggregate IN wheat,
though at times the market ruled quiet.
While the feeling was more or less unset
tied, there nevertheless appeared to be
more disposition to buy On the recent
break: at least operators manifested more
confidence There WAS fair outside buy
ing. though some parties were of the opin-
ion that trading was largely of local &C
count. The opening was weak and prices
almost Immediately touched point "a
&c below yesterdays closing, Influenced
by the dull and weak tone of foreign ad-
vices, reported fine weather abroad and
the estimated increase of AGO, 600 bushels
of wheat on ocean passage. AT the reduc-
ton good buying checked further de
cline. Quite number of out
side ordere were received, though the
amount was not large and claimed to have
been on Canadian account, taken on for
small reaction. The demand nevertheless
had strengthening effect, as did also the
report that the French president had sub
nitted resolutions to the chamber OF
deputies asking for reduction of the duty
on wheat. Prices were advanced 112c,
then receded &c and closed 1I@1c higher
than Yesterday, at / O'Clock. Near the
close rumor was current that the Cana
dian government was contemplating the
removal of its wheat duty, which caused
scramble to buy and an advance.
There were few if any new influences in
the corn pit. The trade in futures was
governed somewhat as on Tuesday, by the
demand for cash corn. To this was added
on the bull side some reports which
gave rise to great fear of frost.
The market was strong all the day
and although the range was narrow, the
closing price of October was &c better
than last night; May closed 1920, showing
an equal advance with early futures.
Oats were very duh and at times almost
neglected by the speculative trade.
In provisions it was dull most of the
long session. Pork opened at $l4.35 for
October, DC under last nights close, and
declined another 10c: January sold down
to $685. a loss Of nc. Lard was quiet
and shade easier.
At the afternoon session wheat was
irregular. December sold up to 90 11S9921lc,
off to 919sc. closing at 9lM@91Tc.
On the afternoon board corn was quiet
and easier October closing about 4 c lower
than at | o'clock. Oats remained steady.
Pork and lard showed little change.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Origin of an Old Legend.

The ancient folk legend of the sun dancing
on Easter morning seems to receive some in
direct support from a letter In Nature. At
least, if it can be well established that the
moon dances upon occasions, our difficulty in
admitting that the sun does the same thing
must be diminished. A lady at the antipo-
dies, writing to her father in England, men
tons that she. with q sister and a friend, be-
ing on balcony the night before at half
past 10, distinctly saw the waning moon
dancing Up ard down. They gradually grew
frightened as they watched the phenomenon,
and made up their minds that it must por-
tend an earthquake. The writer adds that
the movement was apparent only when the
moon was partly behind thin clouds, which
were streaked across her face. THIS proba-
bly, gives the key TO the mystery. A waning
moon would not be far above the horizon at
haf-past 10, and its image well within the
zone Of mirage from rising and falling va
pors, while the combined movement OF moon
aud Intervening clouds would easily produce
G familiar optical delusion, and, aided By o.,
alarmed imagination, give the moon the az
peararce CT canc;ng.-Home Journal
