1t is well known that Mr.. Brooks WAS
long averse to having hls photographs
spread broadcast through the city and ex-
posed for sale. and it was many years be-
fore his antlpatny to this sort OF thing
could loo overcome. Finally he consented,
a few months ago, TO sit for bis photo

more than twenty years past. These con-
siderations may not have had any weight
with him IN his decision 10 abandon Trinity

In his letter of acceptance he wrote:

called me TO it. and with an humble and
happy trust In the strength of God. whose

NEW YORK. October 10.-The stock mar
ket to-day was very dull, and while show
ing strong tone in the early trading.
weakened under renewed pressure toward
the close, and the early gains were entirely
wiped out except in few cases. The deal
ings retained their professional character
and no outside interest could be discover
ed, though insiders took hand in some of
the spccialties, such manipulation being
most marked in Hooking Valley.
THE OPENING IRREGULAR BUT FIRM.
There was an irregular but generally firm
oDening, and traders who were inclined to
discount the good bank statement bought
