NEW YoRK, Nov. i0.--The dark clouds
which have been hanging over Wall
street for the last six months almost
reached q climax OF blackness Monday
morning. The stock exchange was on
the verge Of panic during the first two
hours. Money was almost unobtainable
and failures were imminent. London
prices for American securities cabled
over here in the morning showed de-
clines Of from / to per cent. below the
closing prices OF Saturday. Money rates
were high in London, and an uncom-
Portable feeling Of insecurity was re-
ported. When the market opened here
there was n y
A Rush ts Sell stocks at Any Price.
At about 1 o'clock money lenders
began to appear in the loan crowd on
the stock exchange. They offered the
money which they had been holding
hack for better rates and found many
eager takers. Rates quickly ran mp 10
25 and 80 per cent, and then TO per
cent and interest, which is equivalent 70
about 90 per cent per year. AT about
| the same time there came sharp rally
| in the stock market, and prices began 70
advance again. Among the extreme de-
cline OF the day was that OF Manhattan
per cent, and Cleveland, Cinclnnati
Chicago and st. Louis 9 per cent.
The hank OF France Holds the Key.
The impression seems to be gaining
ground that only prompt action on tint

since the conclusion of the war between

in regard to the affair. Ore is to the
effect that on Friday last a part OF the
garrison of Tagucigalpa revolted and
under the leadership OF Gen. Longino

fighting, OF the capitol building ana

Science versus superstition.
The late DR.. George M. Baird. in a CONVEX
satlon with one of the members of the Philo-
sophical Society of Chicago. said: 81 do not
believe that there is public or private luna
TIC asylum In America that does not contain
at least one female inmate committed for the
reason that her relatives regarded her as
witch" A professor in the University of
Glasgow, who spent last summer in the High
lands, states that he did not visit town or
hamlet that did not number a witch among
its inhabitants.
In health matters, too, superstitions still
survive. Prominent society people often
consult fortune tellers and the like, But we
know, and you know, that disease cannot be
cured or health gained by the charms and
amuiets Of Ignorant superstitions. Old FASH
l0hed medicines are also powerless to aid.
Inc world has progressed, and her advance
cine. Today, Paine's Celery Compound, a
thoroughly scientific preparation, is relied
upon as a positive cure for all nervous dis
eases. In the highest social circles it is re-
garded as true restorative for the tired lam
guild feelings which follow parties, balls,
musicals and the other demands of social life.
Inc Draln worker finds new vigor and brain
strength in this grand restorative; the me-
chanic banishes his tired feeling and nerve
exhaustion by this true invigorator; and the
ladies rely upon it to fortify their nervous
systems and remove the depressed and Ian
guild feelings which often make life burden.
Dyspepsia, headache. rheumatism, PACE,
ache, neuralgia paralysis, peresis. heart
disease, and all disorders of the nervous
system are positively and permanently cured
by Paine's Celery Compound. Like no other
advertised medicine. it is physicians pre-
members of the profession. Do not delay its

The Saturday edition of the Rockland
Courier. Gazette has made its first appear
ance. 1t appears to be healthy infant.
OF the 1888 deaths in Rockland, the past
year, Y were of persons over 30 years of age,
the Oldest being one hundred, nine over 80
and 80 over 60. Twenty-Five were children

Hon. Lucilius Emery, who is holding the
present term of court at Paris Hill appears
to have struck the Oxford County Advertise
er very fayorily. After speaking a good
word for him as man, and noting with
pleasure the absence of 'frown judicial on
his face when on the bench, it proceeds to
compliment him highly for impressing upon
the jury, witness and counsel, the fact that
court opens at 8 a. m. and 2 p. m. When
some of the lawyers objected on the ground
that their clients lived long distance away
in many cases without the conveniences of
railroad or telegraph, and consequently
could not be notified in season to arriaye In
time for assignment, the Judge said ''Send
an officer with the summons. 1t is much
cheaper for the county to send an officer
than keep the jury in idleness."
