THE PRICE OF OIL.
How it is Being Manipulated Oh
The Petroleum Exchange.
n, Iho ut tod
By The United Pre-

By The United Press.
New YORK, Aug. 8.-During
the past few days probably the
most striking manipulation of the
price of oil certificates that has
ever occurred was engineered On
the Petroleum Exchange.
For sometime the oil market has
been practically dead, brokers
and spectators who had heretofore
been prominent in the dealings in
that commodity having abandoned
it for other fields of speculation.
Yesterday broker, said
to be identified with the
Standard Oil Company appeared on
! the Exchange, and without expe-
riencing any opposition of moment
succeeded~in sending the price Of
September options of National Pipe
Line certificates down to 555. The
total sales were only 10000 bar
rels which would cost less than
800 to pay for in full. 1t was sub
sequently learned that the STANDARD
Oil Company had taken off the pre-
mium Of fifteen cents per barrel OF
fresh oil, and that hereafter tn
Company would pay the same pric
for Pipe Line certificates as it die
for n'esh oil on the field.
This was a surprise to every one
It was of course expected that tn
difference between fresh oil and pip
line certificates would at once b
made Up. This expectation wa
more than realized. The openin
sales this morning were made at a
advance of II 2-8. From tina
time until the close of business tn
price was steadily bid up until
reached 20 1-2 at which priced
closed.

CHILDREN BEGGARs.
Special Cor 10 STATE CHRONICLE


After reading Mr.. John L. Pull
lens article of the Goth Of July on
Children Beggars, l take pleasure
in giving some thoughts suggested
by his timely and excellent re-
marks. do this from a personal
knowledge Of our charity subjects
for more than 35 years. In almost
every instance those who have gone
around begging give sad proof Of
Generalization, and become worth
less, and the reason of it is clear to
any thinking mind. 1t is a viola
ton of Gods law to give means of
support to those able to provide for
themselves, and a violation of law
brings its penalty sooner or later.
When a child or any one able to
earn living resorts to beg
gins, loss of self-respect is the re-
suit, and when this is lost te way
is paved to the lowest vices, md to
ruin. What then is duty to most
of those who beg, especially the
"children Z"
Be sure to always speak to them
kindly and firmly telling them that
their real condition will be looked
into, and that whatever is best,
within our power, will be done for
them. When thus spoken to, gen
orally, their own covictions of their
real condition will cause them TO
think and give up those plans which
would lead to evil. Worthy cases
will be willing for needful and true
light to be had, and any Unworthy
case will avoid the light being had
if possible. After thus investigat-
ing the case, then give what is gen.
orally most needed. some good adj
vice as to their doing proper work
of some sort, and help to get them
in a position to be taught and train
Ell properly. recall the case of a
fourteen-year-old girl many years
ago begging for money for her
mother. She was advised and help
ed to get work to do that day by
which she earned so cents, and she
has has told me since that when she
spent that money for home supplies
she felt q pleasure that gave her an
inspiration of success at her moth.
er's home. and now in her own nice
: family.
The best thing in many such in
stances is to get these children into
$ some regular business, or" into gooC
l homes, mostly in the country if pos
T sible. | Know of 33 children o.
e this kind who have been provided fo
: and great blessing to all is the re
7 suit. There are now several goo'
Y families in the country who want t
d take boy or girl to raise. If par
7 ents cannot, or will not try to liv
: without having their ch:ldrel
{. beg, it will be well t
? get them into suitable business O
It a nome, and / will gladly aid an
l who may need such help as far as
r can, and others may do much goo
< in this way. l would give emphasi
'e and urge the observance of Brothe
OF Pullen's closing words. Visit then
te and help them, cheer them up wit
words of comfort, and you will M
only benefit them, but you WI
benefit yourself. "Eor if the goc
and wise do not 90 to and help
save them, be sure the wicked al
and degraded will 90 to and help
ruin them. sWhile sin abounds |
n. grace much more abound, to re

The sunday Problem.

The COngregationalist of Boston took a
census of church attendance in IL wards of
that city on recent Sunday. Out of a
population of 172, III, there was an attend
ance of II, 1853. OF this number u $40
were Protestant, 1871 Catholic and 1872
Jewish. On the same Sunday it found
that about 10000 people went to the sub
urbs, and $4,000 people travelled on the
street cars. These statistics are suggestive,
though they do not tell anything that was
not pretty well known before. In its COM
ments on the figures the Congregationalist
says: 1T is to be noticed that the people
who make the day one of pleasure simply
in the main manifest a spirit of moderation
and decency. Rotous behavior is the cX-
ception. The study of the situation is
fruitful in questions which few of us are
prepared to answer decisively yet What
shall be the attitude of the church toward
the present popular methods of observing
Sunday? Should it bend its energies to the
endeavor to restore the Sabbath as our
grandfathers kept il? Or shall it simply
unite with all well-int6ntioned persons who
will strive to secure for every working man
a day of rest? Shall the church denouncC
all forms of railroad traffic? Or shall il
simply insist that through travel be re-
duced to a minimum, and that the roads
shall be compelled to employ no man more
than six days in a week?'
