THE EARTH SAVED.
HOW IT HAPPENED.

The astronomers are very much per-
picked. A strange and extraordinary
thing has happened. Perrine's comet
the other day-was advancing on
the earth with tremendous rapidty,
and threatened to know our little orb
into inch-bits. Suddenly, to the great
establishment of the learned gentle
men. who had their anxious glasses
leveled upon it, the portentous visitor
stopped, turned tail and fled away as
fast as it came. And the whole
scientific world has ever since been in
a clamorous debate and uproar as to
the why and wherefore of this
strange event; but no man could ex-
plain it.
Being ouself, however, of an inquir-
ing turn of mind, and realizing that
the sages and philosophers could
give us no explanation of the singular
phenomenon, we applied. for the first
time in our life, to spiritualistic
medium, and paying him our dollar,
(for, as the great poet says, money is
good soldier and goes before, and
opens the doors of the supernatural
as we'll as the terrestrial regiOnS), he
went into a trance and revealed the
whole matter as follows; and we have
not a particle Of doubt of the truth of
his statement. for it bears on it's face
all the evidences of probability.
He said that while the comet was
advancing in full career the Angel
Gabriel, moved by sympathy for this
poor little earth, met it in the heavens,
and asked:
Where are you going, old chap"
ITO the earth," was the reply.
what are you going to do there?"
asked Gabriel.
"Going to smash it," said the hairy
fellow, fercely, while his locks stream
ed out behind him like Paderewski's
and of much the same color.
"You are on the wrong lay" said
| Gabriel, who was little "blown,"
| keeping up with the rapid flight of
the comet. 1.-THE earth is smashed al
| ready"
''How SOP" asked fery-face.
''The gold-bugs have done it," re-
piled Gabe, "the people are starving,
killing each other, committing sui
eide, going crazy, filling the asylums
and the poor houses. Your presence
would be rather a relief to them.
And then you would kill the editors
of the daily papers. and what was left
of the human family would dance for
joy. Go some where else, old chap"
No." replied the comet, Il started
out to smash the earth and smash it
is"
"But you might hit the White
House," said Gabriel, 'and think OF
the stink you would raise! Yol
couldn't possibly live through it,
The comet slackened its pace per
ceptibly and it's face grew serious.
"And them" said Gabriel, perceiv-
ing the impression he had made, sit
you hit the earth, and there was {
general over-turning, all sorts Of
things would be brought to light, and
among the rest possibly the unpublished
testimony in the Pyle's dirorce suu'-A nc
them
But a look of inexpressible horror
lighted up the face of the aerial mon
ster, and he turned tail and fled as i
the devil was after him.
All honor to Pyle's divorce suit!
1t saved the world
Let us erect a mon ument to Pyles-
and put him under it.

Mr.. Martin e. Johnson, of Benson,
who has sent US in a great many sub

out, with horse and wagon, and collect
from delinquents and obtain new sub

will get 1000 subscribers for all edi-

rising to a point likely to precipitate
disaster.
London prices for American securi-
ties came higher and to this favora-
bic development was soon added the
inspiriting semi-official news that a
number of the leading banks and trust
companies had pooled their surplus
reserve resources, variously estimated
at from SIS, 100000 to $20,000,000 and
would put out as much money as
might be needed by legitimate borrow
ers, though at rates not low enough
to encourage boarding. The extreme
fluctuations in call funds ranged from
60 per cent soon after tn eopening to
six per cent at the close. In addition
the bal1 syndicate or pool loaned mon
ely for three years
ey for three days tranactiOns at 100
per cent, equivalent to 36 per cent.
Business was well distributed with
sugar leading in point of strength and
activity. The stock scored an extreme
advance of AZ per cent to 115b. The
rise was partly attributable to the
covering of shorts based upon report
ed improvement in trade conditions.
Although the market was very dun
for the intervals the bulls met pract.-
cally no opposition in advancing the
prices. Aside from sugar, the extreme
advances ranged up to 31a per cent,
the last in st. Paul and the upward
movement, aside from a temporary
halt early in the day, was steadily con-
tinued. The market closed at the
highest points of the day. Dealings in
bonds were. ON an increased scale and
decided strength was displayed. The
Reading and Atchison issues were the
most prominent in point of activity
and advance. The sales were $685.

New York, Oct. 30@The cotton
market opened with local traders in
control and very little disposition to
do business until after election. The
fact that the market showed stability
yesterday in he fact of extreme
stringency in money received much
favorable comment. The market open
ed at a decline of 2d4 points and
further declined to los points on in
dication of 100000 bales coming in
sight by Oct. 81, against 2,80o,000 bales,
for the same time during the big crop
year. Selling was checke partially
by reports of firmness and activity in
print cloths at Fall River with large
sales for january, February, and

ing during the afternoon was slack,
but sharp rally followal. The mar
ket closed firm at a net advance of

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER.
New York. Oct. o-(Special,) Our
Liverpool cables report that their mar
l1elt was affected to-day by renewed
estimate of Mr. O'Neill that the crop
would reach 100000 balas. This es-
innate more than offset the figures OF
consumption as given out yesterday by
Mr.. Ellison, causing their market to
close lower than last evening. The
predicted frost throughout the cotton
belt did not occur, and the effect OF
Lower Liverpool was Ito cause short
declines from the closing quotations
of last evening, but the market has
slowly improved on the lighter move
ments at the interior towns, and the
large shipments leading to the estimate
of 400, 900 bales coming in sight for this
week against $4,000 last week.
Though many reports of planters hold
ing back their cotton are being re
ceived, any sharp lnilafg(nh 2eearfxor
ceived, any sharp falling off in the
movements will create a change in crop
idluw. Under the influence of foreign
buying orders and the failure of the
interior stocks to increase, our mar
loets closed firm. The amount in sight
this week, according to Mr. Hester, is
$4,000 bales against 428,000 bales last
week.

LoCAL STOCK MARKET.
GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago, H., Oct. 3o.-Perhaps the
chief reason for the advance in wheat
to-day was the easier tone of the
money market, thought there were
other good and substantial reasons for
a display of strength. Other mar
kets were very dull, but fairly steady
and show but little change in price.
New York, Oct. 30.-Wheat scored a
two-cent advance to-day under rather
adverse circumstances. The bull side
was hampered by lower cables, mixed
foreign trade and heavy strong wheat
receipts. In the face of this, supported
by easier money, prices were carried
up to 80 Slice for December, and after
final slight setback, rested at 79Bc.
Trade was small all day, total trans
actions only footing up 100000 bush
els. One factor in the advance was a
steady demand from spectators on all
weak spots.

New York, Oct. 30.-The prevailing
monetary condition were again the
dominating influence in the stock
market to-day The rank and file of the
traders, figuring upon even more
stringent rates for call than had ruled
yesterday were prepared to see a de-
cine in stocks to-day. The actual move
ment, however, was aggresslVely

erned by the early intelligence re-
ceived by powerful speculative inter
ests that combined effort would be
made by the banks to prevent rates
