THE MONETARY SITUATION.

Money on call at the Stock Exchange was
shade dcarCr, although the ruling rates renamed
1 ID and . per cent. AT the lower figure there
was an active demand throughout the week, ana
at the higher rate an abundant supply Renewals
were made at 2 per cent. and the average rate
for new business was only niue below inns
figure There was no material change in time
loans and rates ranged from 12 per cent for
short dates to 1-2a4 for all other periods There
seemed to be tacit agreement among lenders
TO obtain if possible better returns for their
In London money continued to harden, and al
thonah the Bank of England made no change in
its discount rate, there was further advance In
the omen market in rates for both discounts and
demand loans. For both the rate rose to 2 La
. IS per cent and on or two days daily bal
snccs commanded a higher price than discounts.
Although the Bank of England gained f379,OOO
bullion in the week. it was forced to ship con-
siderable sums to the Continent, which were
divided apparently between Austria and Russia.
To supply this drain il is not improbable that the
bank will soon raise it's discount rate in the
hone of attracting gold from the United States.
The money markets on the European Continent
remained easy, and even in Paris, where there
were fears of financial disturbance, the open mar
ket rate Of money was not materially changed
The foreign exchanges were slightly easier IN
the first part Of the week, but they subsequently
advanced and closed strong. Although rates for
sterling drafts are about 1-2 cent below the
gold-shipping point, an export of $500 600 was
made yesterday, and another engagement OF the
same amount made FOR shipment on Tuesday.
The final destination of this gold IS not known,
even by the shippers, but il is reasonable to sup
pose that il goes either 10 Russia or Austria. In
neither case is there any basis which to pre-
aiet the probable extent Of the movement. The

ing Rev. G. p. Masden preached a ser.

tho course of which he said that the

HIS PULPIT FOR THE HORSE

Rev. Arney Resigns nis Pastorate for the
Paddock.
GRAND RAPIDS, April 81. Robert ].
Arney, pastor of the Methodist church
at o~Saranac, shocked his congrcga-
tion by announcing his retire
ment from the pulpit His resignation
takes immediate effect, and many of
the church members wept when they
learned it.
Mr.. Arncy will devote his entire at
tention to breeding aud training
horses and will indulge in horse trots
and matinee's TO his hearts content
without fear of the Methodist confer
cnce. Twice he has been before the
conference for his "horsey"
inclinations. In 1890 he was
scored for officiating as a mas
ter OF ceremonies ut "a speed
ing matinee" and again last year he
was rebuked. The fact that he had
conducted successful r~evivals. and that
his collections were far above the
average, did not extenuate his offense,
but he was given To understand that if
he persisted in cultivating horses he
must retire. This spring he owns six
promising colts, and occasional matt
nees to make records and show their
speed are necessary TO help their sale.
lie thinks there is more money in
horse trading than preaching. and, AS
he has a large family to support, he
gives up the church. lie will hold re.
vivals in the winter, but they will not
interfere with his horses. He gave a
matinee last Saturday and advertises
another for next Saturday, but did not
announce 1t in church in his farewell
address

SAY DEFINING IS SHAMMING
Doctors Think His Fits Are Feigned
for a Purpose.
The Prisoner Looking Very Pale and Hag-
gard---He Is Anxious About the
Outcome--A Detectives Tes-
mony I'm the Case.

MELBOURNE, April 30.-Tho Deeming
trial was resumed in the central crimi-
nal court in the city at 10 o'clock this
morning. The court room was
crowded, the majority OF the audience
being Deeming looked bag
gard and pale. The keeper Of the
prison says that he slept little last
night and asked several times If there
was any chance that he would be found
guilty. lie has grown exceedingly
nervous and is startled 10y everything
in the Jail corridors, In court
Deeming tried hard TO preserve his
usual appearance of indifference, but
it is evident that he is losing confidence.
The first witness, Detective Cav
sey, who testified on Thurs
day, was recalled today by the prose-
cution. lie repeated his testimony rs
regards the contents of Deeming's
boxes. After the fits to which the
prisoner apparently had been subject
since his arrest he had invariably
asked whether he had been i'll and
what he had done. The fits several
times appeared to have been feigned.
The next witness was DIR. Mullen,
who had examined the body OF Mrs.
Deeming after it had been eXhumed Mt
the Windsor house. The wounds, he
said, could not have been self-in-
flicted.
DR.. Mollison, who assisted DR.. Null
len in examining the body, testified to
the same effect
DIR. Rudall, one Of the experts APP
pointed to examine Deeming as to his
sanity, testified that the prisoner was
in his opinion perfectly sane. lie
thought that such fits rs Deeming had
suffered from since his incarceration
might be feiGped. lie had seen many
persons in his practice foign such dis
orders. Such phenomena were not I'M
common among persons laboring under
high nervous excitement.
The conviction is general here that
Deeming would be found guilty even
if the prosecution should rest its case
now. He will never be taken to Eng
land, it is believed, to answer for the
Rain Hill murders, but will be hanged

WORSE THAN WHISKY.
A New Disease Discovered Called tn,
Poke-Root Habit.

A New Disease Discovered Called the
Poke-Root Habit.
GUTHRIE, O. T., April 30.-A new and
startling discovery has been made in
Canadian county, thirty miles south
west of here, to the effect that a new
disease had been formed, one that will
tax the ingenuity of DR.. Kelley to
meet. 1t is nothing more nor less than
the poke-root habit. A negro
named Daniel Mclean and
his family have for some
time been using tho leaves of POKE
root as greens, and grating the roots
to use as other people use horseradish.
They relished the new dishes, and for
n time were happy, poke root furnish
ing food and stimulant for the family.
The desire for poke root grew upon
them constar tly, however, until it be-
came q raging and uncomfortable ap-
petite, and step by step the family was
led to a deplorable condition. In "a
short space Of time they were the alb
ject slaves of the weed and the
neighbors began to notice the strange
manner in which they acted. The
members Of the family at first became
dazed and dreamy, with a far-away
look In their eyes, and finally failed to
recognize even their most intimate
friends. In no way could they be raised
from their strange lethargy and all
their work was entirely neglected.
The neighbors began an investigation
and soon learned OF the new habit 10
which the family had fallen victim
Medical assistance was secured, but
the local physicians have as yet been
unable to control or conquer the new
appetite.

AfrQia.

The Judge ia the Anarchist Trial Was
Afraid.
PARIS, April 2T.-The finding of ex-
tenuating circumstances in the cases of
Ravachol and Simon and the acouittal
OF their three associates is attributed
to pussillanimity on the part of
the judge. 1t is asserted by
some that If Ravachol had
not chosen to avow his guilt the jury
would have acquitted him also, as from
first to last they were unable to con-
ceal the terror which animated them.
Indeed the anarchists were treated by
every body throughout the proceedings
with great consideration. Ravachol
seemed to notice and appreciate the
the dread with which he was regarded.
The general public is greatly disap-
pointed with the verdict as 1t is feared
that 1t will encourage instead of de-
tering the enemies of society and there
is a growing feeling in favor of mar.
tial law for u time and the suppression
OF the anarchists by a serious OF court
martials and summary executions such
AS crushed the communists twenty
years ago.

Thirty-Eight Asylum Incurables Con

LONDON, April 3o.-A good deal OF
comment has been created among men
of all denominations over the fact that
the bishop of Exeter last week admin
istered the rite of confirmation to
thirty-eight incurable patients in the
idiot asylum at Starcross. In perform
ing the ceremony the bishop com.
mented upon the fact that this was the
first time that such a rite had been
conferred upon inmates of such an in.
stitution. Many prominent Church OF
England divines denounce the action
of the bishop al tending to make o
burlesque of a solemn rite, while
naturally enough the members Of
other denominations are availing
themselves of the opportunity to sug.
gest that SO much difficulty Is being
found in obtaining new communicates
to the established church that it's pre-.
lates are glad to bring idiots within its
fold. One of the Presbyterian papers
suggests that the ceremony was very
