God never sanctioned putting the light
Of Christianity under bushel. His
command Is, Let your light shine h,s-

be thereby influenced for good; that
they may See your good works and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The best way TO get the right kind
Of influence is to live noble, Christian
life. Men today are guided more than
ever by what they are and what they
do. The lives Of all are closely scruti-
nized. False professions are easily dis
cerned. The eye of the world is keen
and readily perceives the sham coatings
of hypocrisy. 1t is life that influences
life. Let u.s. therefore, SO live before
men that they shall see that we have
been with Jesus and be influenced by
our lives to consecrate themselves to
Him.
Our influence should be used for good.

SHIFTS AND SHIPPING.
Since the time Nosh's ark saved the
race OF mankind. to the present ships
have played an important part in the
drama OF human events. The ships OF
Spain, commanded by the bold and adj
yenturesome Columbus, discovered the
New World, and by right OF discovery
Spain claimed it as her own.
ASS consequence Spain grew rich pow
eriuI and arrogant. She desired The over
throw OF England sea power her great
rival and our mother country, and lifted

what the condition OF this country
would have been had Spain's domination

Charles H. Whitford Arrested Yester- day Afternoon.
 Charles H. Whitford, eighteen years old. of "A Salem street, was arrested at the corner of Commerce street and Congress avenue yesterday afternoon for driving into and knocking over Mor- r!s Schenck. Schenck had just come out of the tea store on that corner and started across the street, when he was run into by Whitford's rig. Officer Sessler. who made the arrest, stated that Whitford. after colliding with Schenck, made no effort to see how badly the latter was injured, but ap- peared to be in a hurry to get out of the way.
 whitford, on the other hand, claims that the horse which he was driving was restless and would not stand so that he could ascertain the extent of Schenck's injuries or leave his name. whitford was held under $50 bail, which was furnished by William whiteman. The case will come up in .he city court this morning

New York; July 14.-This morning, James Cedar, an Italian rag picker of Brooklyn, went to a police station In Brooklyn and satd that while working on the dumps at Statt avenue, on New town Creek at o'clock this morning, he was approached by a German, who showed him a mans head, which he unWrapped from newspaper. The head had black hair, a small nous tache, and there was a gash on the left cheek. The stranger rewrapped the head and threw 1t into the creek. It is supposed that this is Guldensuppe's head. The Italian described the Ger man as being man of about fifty years of age, five feet six inches in height, having dark hair and a red moustache. and wearing dark trousers, a wooden jacket and Derby hat.
 The police at once instituted a search for the German. and immediately start ed to drag Newtown Creek.

The Security Market Continues to Ex-
 hibit Strength.
 New York, July 14.-The security market continued to exhibit strength to-day on widely distributed dealings. The grangers, the usual market barom- eter, on favorable crop advices scored marked gains. St. Paul common cross- ed s5, which price it has not touched in ten years. The preferred also made new record, reaching 14Oss, while Northwest preferred equalled yester- days top price record of 165. London unexpectedly changed its attitude op St. Paul to-day from a persistent seller to a buyer, and marked it up a4 above the New York equivalent at yesterdays close This was regarded as foreign covering of shorts.
 The coalers wakened up from their accustomed lethargy, and repeated yes- terday's progress to higher plane of values. This was largely in sympathy with the Philadelphia market for Le- high Valley. Reflection over night had convinced the traders that with the disanpearance of Lehigh Valley as an independent factor in the coal market this trade would be managed in such a, manner as to produce the best results for the interested corporations, as less CT companies would find it profitable to work in sympathy rather than as sume hostile attitude. Thus, they argued would be accomplished a har- mony where previous schemes of the mast including a central selling agency and A Reading lease of other compa- nies had failed. Then, the soft-coal strike if it continues. will cause an in- crease of demand for the hard pro- duct.

 On enormous transactions Sugar al- ternately rose and fell on more or less favorable news percolating from Wash ington. The delay In announcing an agreement by the conference committee was taken as confirmation of opposi- tion on the part of house leaders to any yielding to the senate conferees. The stock opened down about a point, fluc- tuated widely and closed at about ini- tial figures.
 Friends of Tobacco advanced it 2B and the scrip 8, giving as a reason that the stock had not yet gone upward with the general movement. The Gould shares were stronger East River Gas rose 61a, to S41a, record price. Gains of a point or over on the day are shown by the following, in ad- dition to cases already enumerated: Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis, Consolidated Gas, Illinois Central, Minneapolis and St. Louis, Susquehanna and Western, Pittsburg, c. c. and St. Louis preferred, and Ice preferred. Rio Grande Western pre- ferred lost 1ss and Leather preferred E. The market closed, after sales of 310,000 shares, as 1t opened, active and strong, at 9 moderate general improvement more notable among the specialties.
 Trading in bonds was quite animat- ed, the aggregate sales slightly exceed ing s2,000000. The bulk of the transac- tions was centered in the low priced se- curities, with a decided inquiry appar- ent for the Oregon Short Line issues. Liens of reorganized properties as a rule have come into favor and note worthy expectations in values of these mortgages have recently been register ed. The market exhibited quite a har- dening tendency, with the changes sub stantial in a number of instances. The principal gains were: Denver and Rio Grande 5's, A per cent; Oregon Short Line incomes, series A, 1h; Brooklyn Transit 5's, 1A; Chesapeake and Ohio 6's, class A, 1k, and Standard Rope and Twine incomes and Fort Wayne seconds, 1 per cent.

The New Law Regarding Itinerant Mer-
 chants Goes Into Effect To-day.
 The law regulating "itinerant 1er- chants" enacted by the last general assembly after a great deal of prelimi- nary work on the part of the New Ha- ven Retail Merchants association, be- comes operative in this state today. The application of the law in this city, where the greatest interest concerning 1t exists, will be watched closely by the merchants. The New Haven Retail Merchants association has not, so far as can be ascertained, taken any spe- cial steps to prepare for the enforce Sment of the statute. The regular con- mittee on complaints of the association viii represent the association in all matters affecting the enforcement of the law.
 The itinerant vendor can how do no more business in this state without registering at the office of the state treasurer, handing over $500 as a spe- cial deposit to secure citizens of the state against loss and paying $25 for a state license. This state license is sub ject to the local license, which must be procured of the clerk of the town, city or borough where the business is to be done, at a cost of five dollars, when the clerk makes a. minute of the transaction on the back of the state li- cense. A failure of the vendor to take out a local license or to have his state license indorsed subjects him to the same penalty ($5O and costs and i'm prisonment not exceeding sixty days, or both) as If he had not made his spe- cial deposit or taken out a state license for one year.
 This special deposit remains in the hands of the state treasurer for sixty days after the state license has been returned and cancelled, subject to at tachment by creditors whose claims have arisen in connection with the bus mess done in this state, and under the order of the court the treasurer can pay over the sum due.
 This measure has none of the defects of the law of 1893, which was pronounce ed unconstitutional but it is believed to be just to the vendors as well as a protection to home merchants.

 jury to Emperor Williams Eye.
 Berlin, July 14-Great excitement reigns here over the reported death by drowning of Naval Lieeutenant Won Hahnke, the son of the president of the military cabinet. who had the watch on the imperial yacht Hohenzollern off Odde, Norway, last Sunday, when the emperor's eye was injured by the end of a rope flying from the rigging He was held to be indirectly responsible for the irregularity in the rigging and withdrew in deep modification to his cabin. Next day, when fears. were ex- pressed that the emperor might possi- bly, lose his eyesight as a consequence of the accident, the young officer had himself rowed ashore with his bicycle and rode to the lonely Lake of Lund- ven, where he was reported to have drowned himself by fishermen, who brought his bicycle and cap to the Ho- henzollern, riding at anchor.
 The emperor was visibly affected by the news and at once ordered one hun dred and sixty marines to go ashore to recover Won Hahnke's body. The grief stricken father, it is said, will ask to be retired, and the opposition newspa- pers of Germany argue from this that it was the emperor's personal repri- mand, delivered in his characteristic harsh manner, that drove Von Hahnke to his death.
