WHEN YOUR MINISTER'S DULL
There is No Remedy, so Says Chris
tian Endeavorer.

one of the questions at the Christian
Eendeavor convention yesterday after
noon was:
What would you advise when your
own minister does not give satisfaction
when his sermons are dull and you
faithfully perform all duties as a mem
Der of the church except attending
services?"
The president said: 1T is not for
US to Judge. If your minister is a
man of God, if he is religious in all
respects and conscientious in the work
which he is doing we should sit at his
fee. It is :nanifestly wrong for US to
at nd other services than our own IN
der such circumstances

WAS MARK TWAIN'S COUSIN
1t was His Illness Which Led to Re
ports of the HumorisE's Death

London, June 5.-Mark Twain was I'M
decided whether to be more amused or
annoyed when informed of the report
in New York that he was dying in pow
erty in London.
He is living in comfort and even lux
ury in a handsomely furnished house in
a beautiful square in Chelsea with his
wife and children, and has only this
week finished the narrative of his re-
India and South Africa, which is to be
published. The title is to be Another
Innocent Abroad"
While not robust, he is in the best Of
health. He said:
4 can understand perfectly how the
report of my illness got about. have
even heard on good authority that 1
was dead. James Ross Clemens of st.
Louis, a cousin of mine, was seriously
i'll two or three weeks ago in London,
but is we'll now. The report of my ILL
ness grew out of his illness.
THE report of my death was an ex-
aggeration. The report of my poverty
is harder to- deal with. My friends
might know that unless I We're actually
dying in poverty 1 should not live in
poverty when I am receiving offers to
lecture by every mail. The fact is that
I was under contract TO write the book
that I have just finished or I should
have accepted these offers"
Mr.. Clemens expects to spend the
summer in London, and the fall, and,
perhaps, the winter in Austria, where
he will pursue his literary labors.

Blake, side by side with auntie, was
walking slowly homeward, and on
reaching a convenient street corner, /
went off for stroll in an opposite di-
rection. When reached home / found
auntie and the Major sitting in the
courtyard under the trees. The Major
lifted his hat at my approach and said:
Miss Danvers, your aunt and 1 are
very old friends; indeed, many years
ago we were engaged to be married,
but an unfortunate Misunderstanding
separated us. We have lost many hap
py years, but hope some still remain
to us, trust we shall have your good
wishes"
looked from one to the other.
"You dear, darling auntie, then you
really are going to be married after
all? Of course 1 wish you Joy, and
Major Blake too, from the very bot
tom of my heart!
/ don't know how the secret oozed
out, but before another day had passed
every one in the house knew that the
handsome English major had met an
old love in the person of the gentle
little lady with the sweet smile and
the soft gray hair, and that after a
separation of eight years they were en-
gagged to be married, and they were ae-
cordingly promoted to all the privi-
leges Of engaged lovers.
1 must pass over the homeward jour
ney and the establishment Of our
friends at Fairfield when auntle re-
turned engaged to be married. Some
few Of them had known Major Blake,
but to most of them he was stTan-
ger. Many were the questions and ex-
plantations before everything was ac-
counted for to everybody's satisfac-
ton; but it was done at last. And
then came the preparation of the trous-
seau; and at last the happy pair have
been made one, and auntie is off to the
Isle of Wight to spend her honeymoon.
Before going she called me to her
room and said:
Ruth, dear, l am going to give you
this little red prayer book as part
ing remembrance. You know how !
shave treasured it, and you won't value
1t the less, l am sure. for having been
so dear to me. And IL. when Mr.. Right
comes, Ruth, you are tempted to be
willful or hayward. or to pain heart

The congregation began to dispense

to auntie.
Madam am going to ask you
very singular question. but let me as

Surprise, delight and incredulity
struggled for the mastery in the ma
jor's face. He took Off his hat and
stood bare-headed. and that one little
gesture told more plainly than the
most passionate protestations could
have done, that the old love had been
kept a treasured and sacred thing. l

And prone at the girls feet, sank the
shiyering, trembling figure.
Had the grave opened before her
eyes, and yielded up its dead, Felicls
could not have been more startled.

1t be possible, am l awake? Emile,
Jules, tell me that do not dream"
Emile stood at the threshold like
a. statue frozen suddenly to the spot;
he could not articulate single word.
Jules likewise was overwhelmed with
bewilderment
But Jeannot had read the whole, and
seizing the hand of each, he cried.
stcutly:
mo, no, 1t Is no dream; you are both
saved - mother and daughter both
saved-when you believed each other
dead. Rejoice and be happy. And we
shall be in England soon. oh, praise
all the saints for THU beautiful ending
to that bloody night"
Mother and daughter were sobbing In
each others arms, and not an eye was
dry in the cabin, as the strangers si-
lently retreated from the sacred scene.
"Oh, my child, my child! l have
had so little hope in escape-the world
has seemed such a dreary blank, and
now there is such light, such joy"
whispered the countess.

meeting-this blessed discovery-and
It is totally inexpllcable STILL"

So matters stood until the night Of
Easter Sunday came, whom we went to

and a minute o. two later the major
was shown into the same pew and sat

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Sept. 9.-The market re-
sponded to higher quotations in London
with factional rise at the opening,
as 1t responded yesterday with a de-
cline. The market sank quite weakly
under the heavy realizing movement in
the morning. London buying invited
realizing sales and 1t is likely that the
failure of a large outside brokerage
house has something to do with the
heaviness on account of the liquidation
entailed upon agents on the floor. The
assembling of the st. Paul directors
with quorum present was the effective
influence in checking the decline on
account of the prevalent belief that an
extra dividend would be declared.
When ii became known that the de-
cision of the directors was in favor of
making the extra dividend one per cent,
the stock mounted upward strongly to
par, which IL touched for the first time
in fourteen years. This affected the
other grangers by sympathy and ex-
tended an improved tone all through
the list. The renewed strength in the
grain markets, the reports of heavy
traffic on railroads and the improve
ments in earnings helped the rally.
Total sales were 605,696 shares.
