GLASS GATHERING.
A Complete Surprise.

Class 13, the Mems Bible class of
 Humphrey street Sunday school, met
 for the election of officers on Wednes-
 day evening with their teacher in May
 croft cottage, Morris Cove, where he
 is stopping This class, organized in
 March last, now numbers thirty-six
 members. About twenty-five were
 present, including the pastor and super
 intendent of the school, more than half of whom improved the opportunity for a moonlight spin on the shore path After interesting reports were read by the various officers and chairmen of committees, the nominating committee reported the following list of officers for the coming year, who were unani- mously elected:
 President, S. H. Street: vice president, Charles J. Anderson; secretary, r. D. Ives treasurer, D. H. Brenner; li-
 brarian, G. H. Baker; membership committee, George B. Atwater; social committee, Frank l.. Coleman; frater-
 nifty committee w. D. Hennig. The last report offered was by the pastor, Rev F. R. LuckeS who in few carefully chosen words reported ad- versely on the teachers bicycle and,
 in behalf of the class, presented the teacher, Rev. E. P. Armstrong, with a enw high grade Victor wheel After recovering somewhat from the com plete surprise MT. Armstrong fittingly
 expressed his gratitude and apprecia- | tion of the kindliness represented by
 the gift. After wishing the class growth in numbers and Bible wisdom in even greater proportion than the in | crease in gear of the new over the old | wheel, he bade the social committee do their best.
 This they did by placing an ample supply of the best Atwater strawberries with whipped cream before the class. | This subject being open to general dis
 cussion, was vigorously participated in { by all

THE CHURCH ARMY.
Statement From Rev. Dr. Bradley,
 Chairman of Commission.

Statement From Rev. Dr. Bradley,
 Chairman of Commission.
 The newspaper report of the so-called collapse of the Church Army has been shown to me. I desire to state that nothing could be further from the truth. The work was never more wig orous and promising than at this very moment. It has taken such hold in Massachusetts that we are preparing by-laws for the organization of new department in New England. The work for the United States is under the control of commission of clergy men from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and they are as one man to-day, in their devotion to the army, and full of brightest hopes for it's fu- ture. My own personal interest, which the newspapers say has changed and waned was never deeper. I feel that this is surely the work the Master did, seeking and saving the lost; and that the church is more and more realizing herself as the body of Christ in this world to rescue it.
 The Parochial Missions society was asked to appoint a. committee to inaug- urate the work and manage it for a year. The year will shortly expire. am chairman of the executive commit tee of the Paroehial Missions society, and was requested by that committee to take the headship of the Church Army commission. The executive com mtttee of the Parochial Missions society have sinly voted to relinquish the re- sponsibility they were asked to take, and let the Parochial Missions and Church Army work each run on it's own lines. The Parochial Missions society has never contributed one dollar to- wards the support of the Church Army. That has been entirely managed by the Church Army commission. Some of the New York newspapers have grossly misrepresented this whole matter, and misled the public.
 I am delighted at the fine progress the work has made in New Haven. Learning that a public service of the Church Army is to be held in Trinity church on Sunday evening, I regret very much that important engag gements prevent me from remaining over and speaking there and then for the work.

Evidences Yesterday of Marked Strength
 in Securities.


 New York, June 1s.-There were evil dences to-day of marked strength in the market for securities and the level of price was at times materially above yesterdays close. Some stocks had held a net advance until the close of the market, but some prominent shares sold off to yesterdays close.
 The grangers were an example. Very marked strength was developed in some conspicuous cases due to special causes, and this was g. sustaining factor in the market. But powerful professional traders are operating on the conviction that a general reaction is due or over due. London buying and good crops reports were against this element to- day, as was the general outlook for business and the aggressive strength of special stocks. But they found an eff fective instrument in the apprehension due to the sharp stiffening in the ster- ling exchange market and the an- nouncements of gold eXports-$350, ,000 for tomorrow and $500,000 for next Tuesday.
 The special demand for exchange is said to be due to July remittances for dividends and interest payments on se- curities held abroad and for other half yearly payments. But the statement of the weeks imports of dry goods at New York shows them to be valued at s, ,3S9,- 102, an increase of $434, 775 over last week This foreshadows an increase in the imports of general merchandise also, as has been indicated by the larger receipts from customs by the United States treasury as reported from day to day.
 Imports of -dutiabe articles such as wool continue heavy. Although London has bought stocks here to-day, sales for London account have been quite large during the week. These facts are all harped on. The dealings were somewhat distributed to-day. AL though the volume of dealings in sugar, Chicago Gas, St. Paul and Burlington were far in excess of any stock, the number of stocks in which thousand shares or over were sold showed an in- | crease and many inactive stocks were | stirred.
 In the railroad list Missouri Pacific scored the extreme advance of 1A per cent. and reacted $. Net changes in | the railroads were small either way, some showing gains and some losses. Western Union and Manhattan were also quite strong. the former selling ex-dividend, and both held practically all the advance. Some of the extreme advances on the day, all partly lost in

ArH roo MUCH CANDY.
Over Indulgence in Sweets Caused Young Clark's Blindness.

over indulgence Tn sweets caused
 Young Clarks Blindness,
 Louis Clark, the seventeen-year-o son of B. B. Clark of Meriden, is af- flicted with almost total blindness brought on, it is said, by overindul- gence in candy. Young Clark's father opened candy store a few months ago and put his son in charge, The lad at once began to satisfy his appetite for candy. He ate large quantities of it and began to grow fat. At the time of entering the store he weighed 130 pounds, and within few months his weight jumped up to nearly 200
 His eyesight began to fail rapidly and hesoon became totally blind. There was no apparent cause for this affiic- tion, and the case greatly puzzled the physicians who were consulted, and they were unable to afford him any re- lief. One specialist, however after a careful eXamina tion of the eyes and in quiry into the young mans habits con- cluded that the blindness was caused by the condition of his stomach, result ing from eating too much candy
 The indulgence in candy or any other sweetmeats was forbidden, and the physician began treating the stomach, with the result hat the lad has inn proved greatly, although his sight has not returned. At times he can distin- guish objects, which he could not do before. It is believed he will ultimately | recover his sight.

Bold Robbery.

sPAETAsBvRa, S. c., Nov. 3.-Just
after dark tonight one Of the boldest
robberies ever known, occurred at
Wexford, ten miles from this city. A
man came to the house Of Albert
Balienger, prominent merchant and

goods. Mr.. Ballenger was eating sup
per, and after finishing went with him.
The man bought bill Of goods and
gave Ballenger $50 bill. Mr.. Bal
lenger went to his safe for the charge
and while there making the change,
having the safe open, he was dealt a
blow On the head which crushed his
skull. Another man who was pres
ent Joined the rohher and after lo6ting
the safe, locked the door and walked

Georgia Prohibition Killed.

ATLANTA, GA, November 5.-Thc
Georgia Senate to-day defeated
measure, which, if passed, would have
had the effect Of making Georgia Il
prohibition State. The bill has been
pending in the Legislature since last
year, and had been cxhaustively ar
gued. 1t has consumed three days in
the Senate, and to-day Senator Atkin-
son, Baptist minister, who is a mem
Der of the Senate, made strong ap-
peal for the measure. He was in fa-
vor of modifying it SO that beer and
wines might have been left not sub
iect to its provisions. The vote on
the bill was Is to %. 1t is under
stood that the majority against the
passage Of the bill would have been
proportionately much greater IN the
House if the measure had ever reached
that body.
