Electric Light Wires md Umbrellas.

From the New York Tribune.l
And now a man over in New Jersey has been
knocked down by an electric shock received by
his umbrella coming in contact with low
hanging wire charged by an electric light cur
rent. The obvious moral is that until the
wires are put underground umbrellas must be
left at home when it storms. or else carefully
carried without being raised.

An Inhnrmonious Choir.

"a choir trouble started in which became
involved in spite of the greatest caution. My
church, from condition of harmony and en-
thusiasm for the Masters work, became in
volved in a regular Kilkenny fight over the
proper person to lead tile music. We had
music that was far from harmonious. tried
every way to steer clear of the trouble, but it
was a vain effort. The upshot of it all was
that found it best to seek another field Of
LABOR rhe troubles started then are not to
this day healed"
1t was not long ago that faithful, sensitive,
noble-hearted pastors wife in church of one
of the Western States fell ill and passed to her
long home, because of a trouble in which her
husband became involved. "Alas, for the
rarity of Christian charity under the sum-"
Very few of the troubles that divide churches
and break the hearts of ministers and their
wives ever come to the surface.

Oyster Bed. Nearly Ruiued.

The wholesale oystermen on West street say
that the planters have sustained loss Of
nearly sZ000000. Owing to the storm this
week many of the planters have suddenly and
most unexpectedly been forced out Of busi-
ness, and into bankruptcy, by the change in the
weather. James w. Boyle says that all the
oyster beds on the Great Kills, the so-called
m iddle grounds at Oyster Bay, and the:beds on
the sand bars in Jamaica bay and Rockaway
are almost all ruined and the stock a total loss-
On many Of the beds. which are located in the
creeks and inlets, the so-called sea lettuce is
from two to three feet deet deep, and the cost
of removing it will equal the value Of the
oysters. Over 1000 oyster openers have been
idle for three days, waiting for'rhe arrival Of
the oyster boats, but they will probably wait in
vain. Only three boats have arrived this
week.

A Plea for federation.

A great writer, the greatest of this age, in a
plea for charity and federation, has given ex-
preston to a sentiment which should be en-
craven on all hearts. The man was called an
unbeliever, land yet his words are rebuke to
multitudes of believers. These are his words:
SIT is unworthy religious man to view an ir-
religious man with alarm or aversion or any
other feeling than regret and hope and BROTH
erly commiseration. If he seek truth is not
our brother to be pitied? If he do not seek
truth is he not to be pitted still more? Who
would not sigh over the thin delusions and
foolish toys that divide heart from heart and
make man unmerciful to his brother"

London's Greatest Preacher.

It is announced that the Rev. Stopford
Brooke, of London, will, some Sunday this
fall, occupy Plymouth pulpit, Brooklyn. This
announcement started a train Of reflections.
which are here jotted down. Stopford Brooke
came into prominence in the literary world
many years ago as the biographer of Frederic
Robertson, England's greatest preacher and
for that matter Christendom's greatest
preacher.
An enthusiastic admirer and disciple of Rob
ertson, Brooke, who at the time of Robertson's
death was young clergyman of the English
Church, performed labor of love in furnish
ing biography of his master which is one Of
the best things in this line in the English Ian
guage. No man can read the "Life and Letters
of Frederic Robertson" and fail to find therein
an intellectual and spiritual tonic.
Stopford Brooke has for quarter of GEN.
tury or more been rector of one of the London
churches, and has been IN that period one OF
the leading lights of the Broad Church party.
Though he has not reached the prominence OF
Robertson or those other great London
preachers, Spurgeon and Parker, Brooke Is to-
day recognized by the best thought of England
as the foremost preacher Of the times: There
is not particle of the sensational in his COM
position. His congregations in London have
never been large, but have been made up OF
highly intelligent class.

Making SasebalIs.

The baseball of today, as produced at
Natick, in this state. is made by hand, writes
a Boston correspondent The laborers EN-
ployed in the work are nearly all girls The
spherical core, of the very best rubber, Is
first carefully wrapped with given amount
Of the most costly yarn. When the ball was
thus grown to about two-thirds of the size it
is to be- leather cover is stitched on with q
needle and waxed thread. This cover has
the effect OF keeping the ball compact and IN
shape, and of regulating its elasticity. Then
more yarn is wound upon it, until 1t Is found
to turn the scales at precisely the right point
Finally the outer cover of horsehide is sewn
on and the ball, after being stamped and
again weighed, to make sure that it is just
five ounces, is wrapped in tinfol, put into a
box with five more like it and declared ready
for sale. The cover, an examination OF
baseball will show you. is stamped out OF the
leather in but two curiously shaped pieces,
which, sewn on the ball, together actually
cover it. This device was not invented until
1865 The cheaper grades Of baseballs are
made Of poorer yarn and rubber scraps, the
latter pressed into pulp by powerful ma
chinery The less expensive the ball, the less
yarn and more scraps will be used in its man
ufacture-until, when you get to the Small
Boys Own price five cents, there is moth
ing 10 be found inside the finsy cover but
melted remains of rubber shoes.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 10.-Trading in wheat
was very extensive today and decidedly
bullish feeling prevailed. Yesterday big
buying 10y prominent local shorts started
the market and today inclines caused
further sharp appreciation in values Inc
view taken by some of the traders Is that
the short interest is accountable for the
sudden turn while others predict an area
of active speculation and still higher
prjces Today's movement did not have
the appearance of strained market. The
opening was M@$5c higher than yester
DAVIS closing, ruled a trife easier, there
after prices recovering about &c. This
movement was followed by a steady adj
vance of 1@11Sc and the closing was nc
higher for December and nc higher Tor
Nav than Yesterday. A rumor that the
government crop report would show
shortage of some 2O,O00,000 no doubt was
one of the principle influences which gave
impetus to the advance of today. The
liberal export clearances had d decidedly
strengthening effect.
A good feeling was reported In corn ana
the feeling was firm, aud trading was at a
higher price. The better tone and advance
was attributed to covering by December
and May shorts, as also the strongest feel
sng in wheat. The volume of business
was quite large especially in May, which
ruled firm on good buying by a large local
speculator, and one or two commission
houses had offerings of the car. Futures
were quite light at times, but there was
some changing of December and May at
&c premium The market opened firm at
Yesterdays closing prices, and under
good local demand advanced A@asc, be-
came quiet and closed 14@$sc higher than
yesterday.
There WAS less doing in oats today, but a
stronger feeling was developed and. prices
reacted llc from the recent break under
good demand TO cover shorts. One prom
inent operator covered A large line. The
cash end of the market shared in the
strength shown by May.
Traders obtained little rest today from
the October pork deal. \ few lots OF new
nork rendered on October contracts were
refused today and sold out at auction at
SlO41Id10 80 The straight October de
livery closed nomiually at 5000. In the
general product trade the leading feature
