THERE are 100000 pupils in the parochial

the space traversed in given time as by the
amount of resistance overcome.

THE Rev. David Kerr says the guns used by

Since the days of its earliest history there have

Christ.

Shares-A Dull Close.
NEW YORK, April 5.-The stock market to-
day was again very limited affair, and outside
of few specialties, which we're affected by in
fuences peculiar to themselves, there was no
movement whatever. The collapse of the suit
against the Chicago Gas Trust furnished lit
tie life in that stock, and, after opening up Il
at 4611. it reacted a fraction Dut afterward rose
to a shade above its opening prices. The shorts
covered rather freely. but there was little de-
mand for the stock in other directions.
Lackawanna early loomed into prominence.
and advanced a fraction under the impression
that squeeze of the shorts might be at
tempted, but later the stock reacted and closed
at Thursdays price. Richmond and West
tion of the Erlanger roads by the East Ten
nessee, and occupied prominent position in
the early portion of the session, but became
quiet later, and reacted with the remainder of
the list. Among the specialtes the only marked
movement was in Manhattan, which suddenly
spurted up from 1861 TO 1857 on light trading,
and for no apparent reason.
The bank statement was expected to show
decrease in the surplus reserve. but the actual
decrease was much beyond the expectations.
and the life and strength were taken out Of the
market by the exhibit. The movements in the
general list were confined as rule to less than
u per cent and the dealings presented no
features whatever, though strong tone pre-
vailed in the first hour, giving place to weak
ness later on. The close was dull and barely
steady at about opening prices. which were
generally lower than Thursdays figures.
Railroad bonds were quite active, and though
a firm tone was shown IN most of the list the
final changes were generally of little import
ance The sales of all issues reached 1894, 500,
with the Atchison and the new Chesapeake and
Ohio issues most prominent

NEW YORK, April 5.-Texas, the greatest
State south of Mason and Dixon's line, is now
favorite field for inquiry by the investor. and
if public sentiment, there Is honest and intelli-
gent toward capital, money will pour into its
territory to stimulate trade and industry.
The President of the Fort Worth Board Of
Trade, in recounting the vast resources Of
debt is less than 81. 100000. while the mortgage
debt of the State, including municipal and in
dividual Indebtedness. is estimated as less than
S25000.000, against $500, 600 IN Kansas and
largest of anv State in the Union, amounting
to over $40, 0000 600. soon to become Sl00 00O 0OO
and the expenditure of the interest on this
fund ought to insure the education of the
masses in the State to the great benefit of
property rights.
The railway mileage of the State is third in
rank in the Union. The greatest claim that can
be put Forward for Texas. to our minds, is that
northern half of the State can produce with
equal proliticness, cotton. wheat and corn. This
places the Texas farmer in position to choose
that crop which promises to command the best
prices after harvest.
We adhere to our previous expressions that
stock in cotton carrying roads is safer to hold
than in wheat or corn carriers for the reason
that the product is more valuable, and hence a
Government transportation tax is less oppres-
siye. Recent mutterings of discomfort, accom-
panied by revolutionary and debt repudiating
sentiment, from the corn and wheat States de-
ter the investment of capital in such sections.
The market to-day labored under some disa-
bilities. but it made pretty good record for
itself under the circumstance. The news from
Chicago. accumulated over yesterday, showed
a hitch in the negotiation for settlement of the
rate war of Western roads. and this naturally
depressed the Granger shares. 1t was also
semi-Officially stated that the Missouri Pacific
would issue some new stock, and it is manifest
that Mr.. Gould is not ready to act in conjunc-
tion with the friends of railway harmony
To cap the climax of bearIsh influences the
bank statement showed loss of nearly 81 9O0-
600 in re>erves, an exhibit wholly unexpected
and probably wholly deceptive as to the pres
ent condition of the associated banks. That
there was but little pressure of stocks in the
presence of the above mentioned factors dem
onstrates the fact that holders are still in a
hopeful mood.
TIE expectation of some silver legislation,
with the attending effect of imitation, is a bull
argument that underlies the whole speculative
situation. and is perhaps as powerful in sus-
tanning prices as any that has been advanced
Besides this drygOOds men say that if the
tariff bill passes with its increase in duty on
many manufactured articles. it will greatly
stimulate the manufacturing business in GER
tain lines.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
LoCKPoRT, N. Y, April 5.-The First
Congregational Church OF this city is in a
demoralized condition and is on the verge of
disbanding. Last night some go odd MEM
bers representing the wealth and prominence
of the church demanded letters of
dismissal. This is due to quarrel of long
standing regarding the management OF the
church affairs The pastor, Rev. Edward B.
Furbish, and clique claim that no
candidate should be admitted to
membership unless they promised to abstain
from card playing, dancing and theater
going. The pastor was requested to resign,
but his adherents would not permit it.
The wealthy attendants at the church
withdrew, which has been followed by the
wholesale retirement of the &c members last
night. Part OF the choir has LETT and the
organist resigned. The boiling mem bers will
form a new Congregational society, buy a
site on fashionable thoroughfare, and
build handsome edifce. The retiring mem
bers secured the Young Mems Christian
Association assembly rooms as place Tor
worship, but some of the pastors clique sue
ceeded in having the directors recall their
grant, and thus deprived them of that place.

"As said," continued Mr.. Weikauf, Il was
never well for six years. My head and nose
were constantly stopped up. My eyes were
weak and watery. There were roaring and

pain IN my forehead. l could feel the mucus
dropping back into my throat. My throat be-
came raw and inhamed. 1 was constantly
hawking and raising. A dry, hacking cough
set in. Sharp pains would shoot through my
chest, extending as far as the shoulder blades.
My heart would palpitate rapidly. This would
be followed by slow, irregular beating and a
feeling of dizziness My nights became rest
less. My throat would fill up and my breath
ing was labored and difficult / would arise in
the morning more tired than when went to
bed / had no appetite and had nauseating
sensation in my stomach after eating. There
was a heavy feeling in my chest as of a weight
pressing down. / was reduced in weight, and
became weaker and weaker every day, until 1
was scarcely able to do my work. was more
like a dead than a living person."
How do you feel now?'
"AS well as ever did in myl life and owe it all
to the skillful treatment received from DR..
Copeland. under whose personal care 1 have
been. Every symptom | mentioned has disap-
peared. l am gaining in weight, eat and sleep
well, and can do a good days work. 1t is sur
prlsIng that so many persons will waste time
and money with other doctors and obtain no
relief, when they can be treated and cured by
this eminent specialist at a fee even lower than
the prices of patent medicines. / am glad TO
make this statement and shall be pleased to
verify it at any time"
Mr.. Weikauf can be seen at the above ad-
dress, and this statement easily verified.
