 Tn the Main tho Stock Market Was Higher

| and Firmer.
 New York, June 25.-The stock mar ! ket to-day In the main was firm and higher. While the transactions were by
 no means large It was noticeable that the improvement in prices brought out
 comparatively few offerings and that room traders are still disposed to work on the bull side of the account. The only really weak spots were New Eng
 land, Chicago Gas and Tennessee Coal and Iron United States Leather de- olined 1ss per cent, but subsequently recovered. New England after opening 1M higher at 5S, broke to 50 rallied to
 51% and closed at 49A, the lowest of
 the day.
 The disposition to sell is explained
 by the fact that the Vanderbilt inter-
 ests are credited with the purchase of
 controlling interest in the shares and that the property will henceforth be operated for the advantage of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road and the New York Central road. It was currently reported that the aver age price paid for the control of the New England was in the neighborhood of s5. Chicago Gas was sold freely throughout the day owing to the veto of the Lowenthal frontage bill by Gov renor Altgeld. The stock opened 1A lower at TIE and after rally to 72h dropped to 709s@H.
 In the remainder of the list advances of A to 1as per cent. were recorded, New York Susquehanna and Western pre- ferred, Kansas and Texas common and preferred, Big Four, Illinois Steel, Distillers and Pacific Mail scoring the largest net gains Wheeling and Lake Erie and Pittsburg and Western pre- ferred were in brisk request on the phenomenal increase in earnings shown by both companies as result of the settlement of the bituminous coal trou- bIes and the marked improvement in the iron trade.
 The latter is having good effect on the market generally and another matter that inspires confidence in stock circles is the fact that the treasury gold reserve will tomorrow or next day be as high as $107000,0 900 in com sequence of the final settlement be- tween the bond syndicate and the gov ernment on account of the now fa- nous, $50 100000 loan.
 Speculation closed firm in tone with prices from 4 to f1s per cent. higher than at the close yesterday. New England and Chicago Gas were exeep- tipns and scored losses of 11A02 per cent, Tennessee Coal and Iron prefer

GEORGE L. SHOUP.

Tho contest in Idaho for senatorial
honors was brought to an abrupt end by
the reelection of George L. Shoup to be
his own successor Mr.. Shoup is now
resident of Salmon City, Idaho, but was
born in Kittanning, Pa, in 1886. He
was educated in the public schools In
Pennsylvania. In 1852 he removed with
his father to Illinois and in 1858 to Colo
RADIO, where he engaged in mining and
mercantile business. At the opening of
the war in 1851 he enlisted in an indc-
pendent company of scouts and was kept
ON that sort of duty until 1868, being
promoted in the meantime to a lieuten-
ancy. From that time to the close of the
war he served in cavalry regiment.
In 1864 he assisted in preparing the con-
stitntion of Colorado, and in 1856 re-
moved to Salmon City, where he has since
resided He was appointed governor OF
Idaho territory in 1889 and when Idaho
became state, was elected governor. In
1890 he was elected to the United States
Senate. He is Republican and strong
advocate of silver.

Young Men and Church.

"The Young Man and tho Church." by
Edward w. Box in The Cosmopolitan
Magazine, attempts the following expla
nation of why young men of today general
ly shun religious services:
The modern pulpit is sluggish and stag
nant. Old churchgoers have again and
again confessed to me that Mr.. - was a
little dry this evening, and the temptation
to shut my eyes did come, l grant you
Now, this is why young men will not at
tend 90 out of every 100 religious services
They lack interest. l must not be misun
derstood and have thrown at me the ac-
cusation that the young man of today is a
paragon of wisdom, and that he thinks he
knows it all He is not paragon of wis
dom nor anything else. The assertion that
he is too self assertive comes principally
from those whom he, in the very nature of
things which prefers young manhood to
old age, pushes to the wall. He does not
claim to be any better than was his father
as young man, but neither is he any
worse At the same time, while he differs
only in the minor sense that each genera
tion must necessarily differ from the pre-
ceding one, it is unjust to ask him to ac-
cept in 1895 the methods in vogue in 1925
With changing conditions como different
demands, spiritual as well as material.

An Innocent Bridelet.

bridelet who presided over the dinner table
at which her husband and herself sat. He
remarked that the tomatoes were nice and

know, but rang the bell, and when the
maid came she said, MARY, are these
canned tomatoesi' Mary said they were,
and her husband declared they were as
nice as any he had ever eaten, wasn't it
wonderful etc. The bridelet thought
awhile, and then, with her wise little
head ON one side, remarked, upon my
word, George, l don't see why they grow
any vegetables any more, because the
canned ones are really just as goodr'-

STREETS OF NEW ORLEANS.
Odd Names Which Represent . Good Deal
of History.

OF H1SJOTys
"a good deal of out Of the way history
has been crystallized into the names OF
New Orleans Streets" said the traveller.
"Ho who runs may read in the odd no.
menclature of the Crescent City that its
residents are not chips of old Plymouth
rock. There is poetry as well as history
in tho avenues which center ON Canal
street, but the poetry is of another cline
and the history that of strange people.
Il suppose that in New Orleans, as in
other cities, the oldest streets are those
named after trees and plants, but instead
of running against the endless procession
of Spruce, Mulberry, Cedar, Pine, Chestnut
and Walnut streets you come upon such
tropical streets as Magnolia, Laurel and
Tehoupitoulas. You are reminded that
tho gulf waters are near and Mexico just
out of reach.
ssThere is brave array of tho saints In
the street directory. That English Pres
oyterans were not the early settlers seems
pretty clear when you walk up St. Charles,
St. Claude, st. Joseph, ST. Peter or St
Andrew. Felicity and 'Elysian fields
also indicate states of mind with which
the Pilgrims were not overmuch in sym
pathy.
New Orleans streets arc not quite with
out ordinary American names. There are
few survivors, and in each case they
have sterling historical significance
Take Jackson, Camp, Magazine, Hospital,
Custom House, Canal, Rampant, for in
stance, and three or four epochs Of proud
history rise at breath.
l. al n n
dainty literary life on tho lower Missls-
sippi. The school of creole writer's, OF
which George W. Cable is the leading ex-
ponent has had quite a vogue. Fiction
and poetry of more than usual value ap-
pear in the editions of several of the New
Orleans papers. I wonder whether the
strong representation from the nine muses.
in the avenues of the city is part cause or
sequence of this. Calliope, Euterpe, Clio
and Melpomene seem like old friends when
you see them bulletined on the corner
lampposts, and you greet with real pleas
ure your old classic flames, the Dryades
and that stanch bard of antiquity, Homer.
"Longfellow had something to say
about the poetry of the Philadelphia
streets where he lays the concluding scene
of 'Evangeline.' But the mellow Acadian
words which flow along his hexameters
live again in names of New Orleans
streets. Here is short1ist which sounds
as if taken from the directorial of Paris
or Madrid: Carondelet, Esplanade, Char
tres, Dauphine, Leontine, Baronne, Poy-

Wolves.

DR.. Rae, the arctic traveller, relates how
wolves will take tie bait from a guntrap
without danger to themselves by first cut
ting the line or cord which connects the
bait and the trigger. He also says: q may
also mention what have been told al
though have never had an opportunity
of seeing it, that wolves watch the fisher
men who set lines in deep water for trout,
through holes in the ice, in Lake Superior,
and very soon after the man has left the
wolf goes up to the place, takes hold Of
the stick which is placed across the hole
and attached to the line, trots off with it
along the ice until the bait is brought to
the surface, then returns and eats the bait
and the fish if any happens to be on the
hook. The trout of Lake Superior are
very large, and the baits are of o size in
proportion.

himself supremely ridiculous by preaching

we'll as the blood son of his father, and
refers to Peters as That miserable, cring-
ing, crawling, Shiny, cowardly creature

stop from fighting the devil and take t.
fighting one another the welkin is pretty
sure to ring with the vigor Of their re-
sounding shocks. There are many things
to show that even the members OF the
clergy --at least in New York city-are be
ginning to appreciate the cash value o
