MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.

Chicago, May 1.-The advancing of the average condition of the growing winter wheat 1.50 per cent on the 1st day of May over that of the 1st of April by the govern ment in its report yesterday created aston lshment in wheat circles. Since the 1st of May there has been more moisture for the plant than prior, so it was concluded by spectators that the improvement at the present time must be very marked. This the opening today. the prices showing a full cent drop from the close of yesterday. The weather bureau came to the assistance of the bulls, however and predicted frosts for almost every state west. This fore cast alarmed the shorts, who. by ener- getic and brisk covering, lifted the mar l<et above the final quotations of Friday. The trade was not remarkably important or attractive, large operators taking very wheat opened from 62S@63c, advanced to 64l4G643se, closing at 6414, asc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat, sample lots, was cent lower early, but closed nominally un- changed from yesterday.
 The lowest prices ruled in corn through out the entire half session. There was no enthusiasm in the market, country buyers not sending any orders and local 'longs'' preferring to await more favorable condi- tions before increasing their holdings. Scalpers ran the market on their own ac- count, fractional losses or gains being gen orally accepted. July corn opened from 5012 to 5O1sc, sold at 50c, advanced to and closed at 509sD5Okc, BdAc under yesterday. Cash corn was 1Rc per bushel lower,
 Oats had nothing to recommend them to traders. Transactions were small. The tone of the other markets was assumed as correct for oats. July closed fraction lower than yesterday Cash oats were easier at a decline of Ac.
 Provsions-An easy to steady feeling pre- vailed in product. The trade was light but few sales having been made, scalpers con- trolling the market Buyers were obliged to pay a fraction more than the ruling quotations, and sellers accepted slight discount. The hog market was firm, but product apparently, received no benefit from that source The advance in wheat caused frmer feeling at the close. July pork closed 5 cents higher than yesterday July lard 2l4c higher and July ribs un- changed
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

the bureau report of yesterday, which many board room operators regarded as distinctly bearish factor On the other hand the bulls contend that the bureaus report was well nigh worthless, and cer- tainly 1t was not enough of factor to prevent prices from moving upward. More rain is needed In Texas. though the report from most sections Of the cotton belt of late has been somewhat favorable. The crop is late, however, and it is claimed that the indications point to a material diminu- tion in the yield this season. The market had bullish support today as well as the support which naturally comes from short interest Many local operators deemed 1t prudent to cover for bullsh weather de- velopments over Sunday.

fancy afflicted with asthma, which
since about the first of the present
year was complicated and intensified
by severe attack OF dropsy, which
was the immediate cause or her
death.
She was born in Sacramento. Cal.
ifornia, in 1859, and was the youngest
OF the will-known Mckinley family,
the pioneer dramatic combination OF
Nevada, Idaho and Montana. She
was married to Gabriel Hoskins at
Aurora, Esmeralda county, Nevada,
in 1870. Since TINT time they have
lived at Tuscarora, Elko and Winnie

would have the additional advantage Of be-
ing good watering places for stock and
threshing tanks. Good fish could be crown
in these reservoirs and so be source of

et is also true.we revise the catechism,
and give other instruction to persons
about to be confirmed, where there is
time and opportunity; but surely Mr..
Thornquest would not object to us in
structing persons in the principles
they are about to protest. Do they
take no means to instruct persons in
their religion in the church of which
he is member?
II Mr.. Thornquest will take the tronble to
look IN the prayer book, he will find that the
person at confirmation, makes plain pro-
fession of his intention to serve God hence
forth He promises, in the presence of God
ana OF the congregation there assembled, to
Keep the promises made by him. or for him,
IN baptism, which promises are to ''renounce
the devil and all his works, to believe all the
articles of the Christian faith, and to keep
Gods holy will and commandments all the
days of his life When the person has thus
publicly made his profession, then the bishop
lays his hands on the persons head and
prays that God will defend him with His
heavenly grace. etc.. etc. This conservation
OF self to Gods service is confirmation and
is recording to the Bible, and the learning of
the catechism has no more to do with it than
the man in the moon.
Mr.. Thornquest says: Laying on of
hands and confirmation as ~ used them are
two entirely different things" have no
doubt they are; but the question is not how
Mr. Thornquest used the terms. but how
does the Church of Christ use them. Nine
tenths of the Christian world understand
laying on of hands or confirmation to be
just what the Episcopal Church understands
it to be. Roman Catholics, Greek Church,
Lutherans, all understand this matter alike.
It cannot be matter of much Importance,
therefore. how Mr.. Thornquest understands
it. Methodists, Presbyterians. Baptists, and
others have all spoken in favor of it. So it
is Mr.. Thornquest against the world. He is
a modest man. is he not?
I am sorry, Mr.. Editor, that the space that
you can place at my disposal compels me to
stop here. My articles are longer than Mr..
ThOrnquest's. but that is because I am
standing on the defensive, and it takes more
space to defend cause than to attack. You
will perhaps have noticed that have care
fully refrained from attacking any other
body. simply defend the church to which
I belong, and surely should be recreant to
my duty if did not do that This attitude
of defense then is my excuse for long arti-
cles, and am compelled to stop here with
out replying to the subject of infant men,
be shi p in the Christian Church. and also on
Church Unity. But I dare say these sub
jects will keep for week or two longer.
