The excited feeling which prevailed in
Wall street and financial circles yester-
day over the summary and unexpected
manner with which the Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee disposed or the Cuban
resolution of independence cooled off last
night after mature reflection and as
consequence better feeling was in evil
dence to-day. Considerable opposition de-
yelopcd among the members Of the Sen
ate against the adoption of the resolutions
and likewise among the Representatives
in the House. And. then again, friends
of the Administration declared the Presi-
dent would not be bull-dozed by Congress
into changing his position and would veto
the resolutions if presented to him and
force Congress TO repass them by two
thirds majority. AS result Of these de-
velopments, and assurance that the
friends of the new administration were
opposed to hasty action of this kind, it
is thought that the further deliberation
would defer, IL not defeat the final pas
sage of the resolutions. The Senate will
meet on Monday and Tuesday and will
then adjourn over the holidays until Janu-
airy 9th. The strong opposition Of all con-
sentative and best newspapers of the local
press and the moderation with which the
action was viewed abroad also helped to
check the war scare. There was large
demand from shorts as soon as the market
opened and this, together with good sup
port from the large financial interests
and good London buying, led to firmer
and higher market ut the start, and the
markets disposition toward improvement
was continued throughout the the session.
Those who had Unfortunately thrown
over their holdings Of yesterday took some
OF them back upon a better understanding
of the situation and the closing tone was
firm with prices for the majority of the
list showing recoveries Of ] to per cent
over yesterdays final quotations. st.
Paul was the strongest feature Of ths
railway list, and there was less pressure
against the industrials Manhattan, in
view of the legal attack to restrain furth-
er dividends, was naturally the weak
feature of the market.

Gated that English spinners were looking

for next weeks receipts. The close was

The drains at the street corners are neatly and str0ugly built and covered by heavy iron grating. The substantial character of this work forms such marked contrast with the slip-ehod contract work 1 have observed in our large cities that it is a genuine pleasure to look upon it. The tiles in the roofing of one of the buildings re- gently constructed having shown some defect the whole roof was removed and relaid with new tiles. No chances were taken.

have heard these words, and it is impossible to imagine words which he would more gladly have heard.
 Charles A, Warren, member of Christ, church of God, inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven, senior warden of this church for nearly 30 years, has passed from the church militant to take a higher place in the communion of saints, to be made, we feel sure, ''ruIerOv many things and to enter into the joy of his Lord" And
 what shall we say of him? The details of his outward life I have nothing to do with to-day. Such a man would not want them heralded from the pulpit. Nay,I doubt not that he would even have wished to hold my hand as l took up the penof the preacher to write Of his life. He was not a man to desire any funeral sermon. But there are certain points about his life which belong to me as his rector, to you as his fellow servants in Christ Jesus, and these points we must
 use for the edification of others. He ''be- ing dead yet speaketh.7 As we learn
 what God is by studying Jesus of Naza,

kind, vaunteth not itself, seeKeth not it's own, is not easily provoked, hopeth ali things So that, while 1 mourn the loss of dear friend, cannot but give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the good example of this His servant, who, having finished his course in faith, doth now rest from his labors.'"
 Why have l written all this? Not merely for the sake of the memory of Charles Warren, not to please the friends who survive him, but first, because 1 want most impressively to assert this morning that l firmly believe much, if not all, this beauty of life and character was due to the fact that he was every inch a churchman. The church's sys- tenn took hold of him bodily, and made him living representation of the stand ards of the Prayer Book, humble, use ful, unobtrusive, Christian man. Sec ondly I want to say that by such simple, childlike devotion and cOnsecration the Charles WarTens of the World might be multiplied a thousand fold. Equally with such men we are led up, like Jesus, to our wilderness to be tempted of the Devil" Equally the temptation is laid before us to make ourselves mere crea- lures of the wilderness, children of the world. May God help us every one equally to follow the example of Jesus, and prove ourselves to be sons of God. "The Son of God goes forth to war" From this parish many whom we have known have gone forth to Hollow in His train" in that noble army, men and boys, the matron and maid" Sinners of Christ church, Watertowp, have been edifed to the saints of the church tri- umphant. Charles Warren is the latest of them. Let him not be the last. "Who follows in their train?"

their engagement have reeidod in Aehe. vile. The hnuse was SD far competed that the master vas able to spend the Christmas holidays there with the mou- bers of his family, who came down by special train from New York. Much yet remains to be done upon the house, upon the roadways and land cape of the park and upon the estate It large, which
 will require years of Wofk. 1 have little taste for statistics and much less mem
 Ory for them and it is my impress ion that they are not entirely popular with the great ms j)Iity of readers. For that reason l will not dwell upon them but rather give you the result of the obser- vations that 1 have made iu running about and talking with people about this great estate.
 In the first placeT observe the re. markable order and system which pre-
 vails in the entire work. And this is quite necessary when you remember that the number of men now actively employed at this time approximates 1000 and at times has been much larger. And further that several millions of dol lars has already been expended and that the weekly and monthly pay rolls runs up in the tens of thousands.
 The work is divided into departments, with a master mind in charge of each. These departments embrace every branch Of vUorIy oirbar Cf . ero,.;,1 O~ ro,~,-I,- nature that is being carried on. For in- stance there is the landscape department which has in charge the making of roads the planting of trees and the beauUifying of the park and it's approaches. AL though this branch has been in progress since the first beginning of the general work and has accomplished 8 deal yet there is enough ahead to keep it busy for years to come. Then there is the nursery department which raises the shrub', trees, vines, etc., that are later on taken to adorn the drives and lawns. The greenhouse of this department is To- cated on the Swamanoa river, alongside of the railroad, and the fields where the trees are grown occupy acres of the low flat river bottom lands.
 The agricultural department is a per manent institution and bids fair to be one of the most important on the whole estate. It has charge of the several in- farms in different locati ns and it is to be hoped with it's improved methods and machinery will prove valuable object lesson to the native farmers of the region. The truck gar den and the Biltmore dairy are, I under stand, operated upon a strictly self sup. porting basis. The vegetables, milk and butter are sent in the Ashevilie market. The milk is from thoroughbred stock and is excellent. 1 never tasted better 1 Then there are the special departments 1 which have in charge the work of build | ing construction. The gangs of men | here work under foreman and move | about from place to place as required.
 In the second place I observe the and subsrantial character of 1 the work that is turned out.

MATTERS OF BUSINESS.
4 PURE BAKING POWDER.

"A IT hE BA htNtT TOW DEhs
 A baking powder that can be depended upon to be free from lime and alum is a desideratum in these days of adulterated food. So far as can be judged from the official reports, the Royal seems to be the only one yet found Dy chemical analyses to be entirely without ore or the other of these substances, and absolutely pure. This, it is shown, results from the exclus- i've use by it's manufacturers of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes which totally remove the tartrate Of lime and other impurities The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used in no baking powder ex- cept the Royal, the manufacturers of which control the patents under which it is refined. pr Edward c. Love, former ly analytical chemist for the U. 5. gov ernment, who made the analyses for the New York State Board of Health in their investigation of baking powders, and whose intimate knowledge of the ingred- tents of all those sold in this market en- abIes him to speak auUhorltatively, says of the purity, wholesomeness and super for quality of the Royal: Il find the Roy al baking powder composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder, and does not contain eith- CT alum or phosphstes or other injurious substance" Prof Love's tesUs, and the recent official tests by both the United States and Canadian governments show the Royal baking powder to be superior to all others in strength and leaveniDg power. It is not only the most economi- cal in use, but makes the purest, finest favored and most wholesome food.

WHAT HE POSSESSED

he seemed always to use as if it belonged
 to his friends as much as to himself 1 Little was left to him when first 1 knew
 him, but at least he had horse and car
 riage, which was always at the disposal of his rector for church work.
 His minute performance of all the du-
 ties connected with his office spoiled his rectors for intercourse with the average senior warden. Never did he trouble
 himself with the question, "how much of
 time or possessions must I give" for he
 frankly gave himself, and All that he had followed as a matter of course. And so after lifelong service, the shadow of death crept on. For some l time past, think, he knew that the end
 must come just as it did come. Yet thore was no shade of excitement, nor any suspicion of fear or cringing. There
 was no change in unobtrusive piety, no
 idea that he needed any special prepara-
 tion. He was ready to go at any time
 when the summons should come. "Just
 as I am," was no canting cry upon his
 \ 1 think, for lax living or want of effort. And so he passed from the ranks of the
 church militant to receive the crown of life. For after all to be met with
 ''Well done, good and faithful Servant"
 is a crown of life. A crown, not in the sense of some new and passing strange adornment, taken at random from Gods treasure house, but little consistent with the common aspects of daily life, but crown or top stone of living, the natural and logical conclusion of a life we'll lived, the crowning stone of the edifce which converts blunt, weather beaten block into a beautiful spire, pointing heavenward, and g1ittering white in the radiant sunshine of Gods love.
 Let me conclude my picture of the man by quoting letter received, last week, from my predecessor, Rev James Stoddard, IA good man, and faithful unto death. There is something fnex- pressibIy sweet in the general recogni- tion of the true excellence of his charac- ter by those among whom his whole life was passed.
 TITS THE BEST TRIBUTE POSSIBLE to be given; g tribute which, while it means so much, leaves so little to be said. And yet 8 great deal could be said of him. For he was remarkable man in his sterling goodness. We who have known him in an official way, know how rare it is to find such pure, single hearted devotion as his, to the many aameleas, useful, and exacting duties of work for the church. But he did it heartily and to the Lord. I find in him ln exemplifeation of that grace of Charity, which ssufferesh Hong and Is
