Slump in Rubber Shares Feature of Yes

Slump in Rubber Shares Feature of Yes-
 terday's Stock Market.
 New York, May 27.-The market was quite strong for time to-day, but the rather sensational slump in the rubber shares and the large selling in Balti- more and Ohio put stop to the rise and also to the activity of the trading The volume of the dealings in all stocks for the three hours of trading after noon was only about third of that for the two hours before noon. The values on the part of the professional traders who still control the market all most altogether was illustrated by the promptitude with which they proceeded to dispose of their holdings.
 The fall in the rubber shares was coupled with a rumor that it was caus- ed by liquidation of interests on &C., count of the declination of the re-elec- ton of President Evans. This accen- tuated the decline without the sales reaching an extraordinary volume. An extreme decline of 314 for the common and IA for the preferred was experi- enced, but the stocks rallied later.
 All the securities of the Baltimore and Ohio that were dealt in showed continued heaviness on account of the rumor that the company would default in it's payment of June dividends. Bonds of 1895 sold 10 per cent. off, and the con- sol lives F points off at 90, seller twen- ty days One or two other incidents served to depress values somewhat, one being the hearing of arguments on the order enjoining the summonses to coal road presidents to answer charges of conspiracy under the New York anti trust law. This hearing was postponed without notably relieving the coal shares from pressure.
 Some sentimental effect was exerted upon sugar stock by the trial of the president of the company for contempt of the senate. but the dismissal of the

 stantial benefit to the stock. The mar
 ket was remarkably dull at the periods
 of decline. London appeared to be a
 ready buyer of nearly all the interna-
 tional stocks when they fell below the
 London parity. The total purchases for London account were estimated at 12,0o0
 shares. The net changes in prices are
 narrow but are mostly losses, some few
 stocks showing gains which reached a
 point in the cases of Michigan Central
 and Erie preferred.
 The railway and miscellaneous bond
 market was characterized by violent fluctuations in number of issues, in cluding Kansas City and Pacifics, which receded 3S4 per cent. Marked strength
 was noted in some of the prominent is- sues, which are attributed to loyal pur- chases for continental account The Erie mortgages were more actively traded in and the prior lien fours gain ed 115 per cent. Fluctuations in the speculative bonds were rather narrow, but generally firm tone prevailed. The sales were s1,239,00o.

Driscoll and Hackett and Dodge and Hooker will play. Of the latter two Hooker Is probably the stronger man, although Dodge may surprise him. It now seem to be very probable that Driscoll and Hooker will be left for the fifth round.

THEFTs IN YALE LAY SCHOOL.

Thieves have been at work at the Yale Law school, and as a result several stu Adents of the school are minus valuable law books.

The thief evidently knew his business well as he took only tile most valuable books, and one of set from each locker.

VETERANS AS HUSBANDS.

Much complaint has been made re-
Gently of the increasing number of
young women who are marrying vet
trans of the late war ostensibly for the
purpose of receiving their pension
after DEATH The inmates of the old
soldiers home in Togas, Me-, are
much alarmed over the recent sugges-
ton of Pension Commissioner Evans,
who has recommended to congress that
no pensions be granted the widows Of
soldiers who are married hereafter.
The suggestion has caused among the
colony of women settled in the vicin-
ity to redouble their efforts Unless
they get husbands before congress
meets they fear their prospects of pen
sions will fade. New women are ar
irving from Boston and New York
and the dives are wide open. A man
who wears a Grand Army badge can
stay drunk for a month and never
spend a cent. The local police are
making efforts to close the places, but
as fast as one is shut up others are
started, and the business goes on as
brisky as ever. There are a dozen
places near the home, all of which do
a thriving business by Turing the vet
Grams inside and filing them up with
liquor until they fall an easy prey to
the women who are waiting for hus-
bands. In case a man refuses to drink
and shows resistance he is quieted
with club or anything else that
comes handy. Last spring an inmate
of the home was killed in free fight
in one of these dens.
Many veterans who live at the home
are trapped into marriage every year
by women who seek the $12 a month
pension, which will come to them on
the death of their husbands. Most of
these women have had regulations
and no character. Having led gay
lives in the cities until their beauty is
gone they seek marriage with the old
soldiers for the sole purpose of inher-
lting pensions. After capturing hus-
bands most of the women go back to
the cities and cause no more trouble
until death carries off the veterans
and the widows pensions may be OBJ
tanned.

THE PASSING OF SIAM.
Kink Chulalongkorn' Country Is Be-
ing Swallowed Up by France.

It is quite safe to- say that not for
many years has any monarch made
tour of Europe who has produced a
more favorable impression than Chula-
lo1 gkorn of Siam. His amiabillty OF
disposition, his cultivated manners,
his shrewd but kindly wit, and his
wide and varied information have all
made him a welcome guest wherever
he has gone. In view of this it is
disappointing to have to record that
his visit was an entire failure in re-
spect to its prime object, but such is
unhappily the fact. He visited Europe
in hope of enlisting European SYM
pathy in his behalf that might aid in
preserving his realm from spOliatlon
That hope has not been realized, and
he goes back to Siam with the ne-
pressing consciousness that he is left
to stand alone against an overWhelm-
ing force which will presently swallow
up the meager remnant of his kim
dom which is now left him. A few
years ago France seized large share
OF Siam. She is now about to take
the bulk of what is left, while Great
Britain may credibly be expected to

Bicentenary
o7 St. Paul's.
0ANNNWNNNNNNNN@ NNNNNA NNNNNNNW

London, Nov 28.-The announce
ment that Masonic character will be
given the coming celebration of the
bicentenary of ST. PauPs cathedral has
created a stir among Free Masons,
far and wide; for this will be the first
time that an event in connection with
this historic sanctuary has been at
tended with Masonic features although
the majority of the men employed in
building it were Free Masons, working
under tie direction of the architect,
Sir Christopher Wren, the first grand
master in England.
The artisans employed during the
construction of st. Paul's cathedral
used as a special hostelry the city's
most famous tavern, the Goose and
Gridiron, which, it is claimed, vas the
cradle of Free Masonry Sir Chris
topher Wren was made grand master
in one of it's rooms, where sessions of
st. Paul's lodge, f. e A. M, were
held. Although to the uninitiated the
name Goose and Gridiron may Seem
somewhat suggestive of mysterious
practices, it had nothing to do with
the rites of masonry. The old sign
board depicting a goose twanging the
strings of a gridiron, was sold only
two years ago.
st. Paul's cathedral occupies Il most
commanding position. It stands on
an eminence to the north of the

panels, and it combines effectively with
the warm brown of the branches.

Within the southwest pier is a circu-
lar staircase leading to the whispering
gallery with which every visitor is ia

The fine-toned bell, which strikes the
hours in the cIock-tower, weighs II ,474
pounds, and can be distinctly heard

of the cathedral. The clock dial is

the minute hand is eight feet in

At the eastern end of the interior
three pilasters form the chancel. This
is divided from the body of the church
by the organ gallery, which is sup
ported by a double range, of marble
columns, with flowers, caryatides and
fruit, sculptured in oak. The choir is
entered through a wrought-iron screen
of most exquisite workmanship. The
side aisles are entered through per-
Iforated iron gates of similar beauty.
The Episcopal throne, or chair, of
state, near the altar, is decorated in a
style of simple elegance with festoons

on a solemn occasion, such as Che in

st. Paul's is built in the purest style

" hich can be taken in by the eye at

haps the finest thing that has ever
been in the world"
ST. PauPs is &C instructed in the form
OF a cross, corformdbly to the general
practice of the Christian world, and is
divided by two rows of pillars into a
nave and side aisles. The extreme
length is 500 feet, and through the
transepts, 285 feet. The ground plot
exceeds two acres. The cemetery is
