Political News ser~esfto Drfns Spec
ulation to u stAndstill.
New York, Nov. 3,9Ths political situa-
ton was still the chief subject of discus
sion in today's market, and the result of
It's influence was to bring speculation to
a standstill Operators IN stocks seemed
to lack any incentive to, active ventures
in the market TO SONG extent the for
eign political situation was also referred
to as an influence restricting speculative
activity, but it found no material re-
Election either in European security mar
kets or in price of wheat. In short, while
the uncertainty In regard to the home
and foreign political situations sufficed
to curb active speculation, 1t induced
neither liquidation nor aggressive opera
lions on the bear account, while natural
ly, perhaps, investment and speculative
purchases were likewise suspended.
The price changes in the days market
were, as a rule. limited ana void of par
ticular Significance. The st. Paul Com
pany made its report for the fourth week
of October, and its showing was of the
gratifying nature that has come to be ex-
pected of this property. and in conse-
Quence ST. Paul and. the orner granger
shares, Northwestern notably, were firm.
The movements elsewhere in the railway
list were. inconsiderable, and, indeed.
many ordinarily active snares were not
dealt in throughout the day.
Even the Industrial shares did not es-
cape the stagnation that was the chief
feature of the market. The trading in
these stocks was active only In compari-
son with the dealings in the railway list,
and the price movements were more re-
stricted than for some time. American
Tobacco and Sugar Refining were the
only features in this group ana the last
named was notably firm. Among the
specialties there was a. sharp rise In
Metropolitan Street Railway, but the ad-
vance in the stock was no more definitely
accounted for in the, way of news than
were the more limited changes elsewhere
in the market. The general market closed
quiet but strong.

Navy Department for the establishment
of a naval station at Honolulu, and plans

Sugar was one of the strongest stocks
in the market yesterday, despite the par
talk so positively made during the last
two weeks By the bears on the stock, who
have numbered nearly all brokers and
traders who have had anything to do with
it. During the last three days there has
been an advance in Sugar of three points,
while the general market has declined
slightly. The talk of some kind of settle
ment between the trust and the independ-
ent refneries is natural. One theory as
to the relations now existing between Mr.
Havemeyer and his supposed opponents
Is worthy of comment because II Is so
eminently logical and in keeping with the
facts, though it has not the support of
any inside information. Perhaps Mr..
Havemeyer has said TO the Arbuckles and
the Dorscher people: Gentlemen, I can
control the fluctuations of Sugar stock.
We may If We wish cut each others
throats. Undoubtedly you would be able
to cause me a tremendous loss in the
course of a few months If you desired.
Also you would lose heavily, too. 1t seems
to me that far better plan would be to
let the public pay us instead of our selling
the public sugar at loss. Come in with
me on a little manipulation of the mar
ket. Sugar is now, say, at 40. In few
weeks L can put II uOWll, WIN the nelp OF
stories of hard fight, to- say. ITO. Then
with stories of an agreement 1 can bring
it back to 40 again. Here. gentlemen, is
a fiuctuat ton of sixty, points. In this way
we can pay for. The buildings that you
have erected and perhaps even add a
trife to your bank account Meanwhile
we may calmly talk 1.-The matter over of
trade agreement between us, unham-
pered by thoughts Of losses of millions.
Comrades, you have families Consult
your wives" And the question is wheth-
er even such bitter enemy as Mr.. Ar
buckle or Mr.. Uorscher would be able to
Withstand such ,eloquence and such cash
inducements for the, sake of cutting Mr.
Havemeyer's throat, especially when the
great preponderance- of chance would be
in favor of getting their own throats cut.
1t is not worth while to make predictions
as to the future course of Sugar, but
there are great many people in the
street who still 7have5f faith in the Sugar
trust that 1t will not be ruined this time.
The manipulation may be up or down,
| but 1t is probably safe to say that it will
| not fall to par for the present.
The st. Paul statement had a good
| effect on the grangers but brought in
| very little business. The advance in st.
| Paul was a point and three-eighths and

vance IN the earnings of ST. Paul for the

1t may be objected despairingly that,
if worry is slow suicide, then almost
none of us can escape. Very few men
can be found who have no unfuliled
desires which they are striving to
crafty, or who are 80 absolutely Sc
cure of the future that they may give
literal heed to the Biblical command
to take no thought for the morrow,
But this foretbought is not worry;
at least it need not be worry it is
merely incertitude, prudent care for
tho future, or even slight anxiety.
Harassing anxiety, impatient expecta.
ton, disproportionate fear Of the un-
known-this is worry, and this is
what causes the heart to struggle, the
kidneys to contract, the arteries to
weaken, and the mind to fail.
No one who 10 not given to worry
can conceive of the power which the
habit gains over its, victim. Such
one will freely admit the excellence of
the advice not to worry, but he will
add that it is impossible to follow it.
This is true only in measure, and in
few cases. Barring instances of ex.
ceptional trouble, of extraordinary
"hard luck" almost every one can by
resolute determination reduce his wor-
ry within living limits.

The above engraving is what may
be taken as an accurate picture Of
Glover Associate Reformed church.
AS elsewhere explained, the congrega-
,ion which worships here is an offshoot
from Bethany. TIE building was
erected in April, 1898, at cost of
81 200, and the church was organized
May "a, 1898, by a commission from
the First A. r. Presbytery, consisting
of Rev. R. M. Stevenson, Elders w.
D. Lesley and J. B. Plaxco. At that
time there were 20 members, which
number has since been increased to
AZ. The first sermon in this church
was preached on the fifth Sabbath of
April, 1893, by Rev. E. E. Boyce, D.
D., and the dedicatory sermon by Rev.
J. S. Moffatt, on May "a, 1898. The
present officers consist of Rev. R. M.
Stevenson, pastor Elders, Zimri Car
roll, q. NJ. Neill and E. w. Pressly ;
Deacons W. B. Stroup, A. M. Wallace
and S. V. Wallace. Though the con.
gregation is still small, its personel,
taken in the aggregate, is of unusual
strength, and the entire Associate Re-
formed denomination is watching its
growth with interest and pleasure.

WORRY.

We often hear of men who are said
to have died of overwork, but it is
safe to assume, says The Youths Com
panion, that in nine out of ten such
cases there had been no overwork at
all. That too much work has killed
some people is not to be doubted, but
this does not alter the fact that work
pure and simple is one of the rarest of
all rare causes of death. The mischief
is done by the worry which often goes
with the work, and which is mistaken
for it..
We do not yet understand the pro-
cess by which worry undermines the
general health, induces disease of the
heart, of the arteries and of the kid
neys, or kills man before his time /;
but that it does do such things is fact
only too we'll established.
1t is true that worry often leads a
person to practices which are them
selves injurious, such as over-indul-
gence in alcohol or tobacco, or per-
haps the. use of opium or cocaine or
chloral and disease and death are Of
ten attributable to the action of these
poisons rather than to the effects of
work or worry. But these will not
explain the disaster in all cases.

HE WAS ALIvE.-The grenadiers of
the famous "Old Guard" will never be
forgotten in France as long as the
memory of brave men shall live in the
national heart. But some of them, at
least, were as bright as they were
brave, as the following trustworthy
anecdote bears witness:
One fine morning, after peace had
been concluded between France and
Russia, the two emperors, Napoleon
and Alexander, were taking short
walk, arm in arm, around the palace
park at Erfurt. AS they approached
the sentinel, who stood at the foot of
the grand staircase, the man, who was
grenadier of the guard, presented
arms. The emperor of France turn
ed and pointed with pride to a great
scar that divided the grenadier's fate,
said
"What do you think, my brother, OF
soldiers who can survive such wounds
as that ?"
"And you," answered Alexander,
"What do you think of soldiers who
can inflict them ?"
Without stirring an inch from his
position, or changing the expression OF
his face in the least, the stern old gren-
adler himself replied gravely:

PROTECTING The CASTLE.

I One of Ireland's magnificent ruined
castles came to its final end in this
manner: The ancient seat of the Cas-
tlereaghs overlooked Lough Swilly,
and it was one of the most princely
residences in Ireland. Eventually, it
fell into decay, and was not inhabited.
As usual under these circumstances,
when the peasantry wanted to build a
pigsty, repair road, or anything of the
sort, they took the stones from the ruin
ed castle, which was disappearing BY
piecemeal, when one day Lord London
derry paid visit to his Irish property.
When he saw the state the castle was
in, and reflected on the fact that it
was 80 much identified with the his
tory of his family, and even as ruin
was glory of Ireland, he determined
TO put an end to the encroachments
that had been made on it. Sending
for his agent to give him orders that
The people were no longer to remove
stones from the building, he instructed
him to have it enclosed with Il wall
six feet high and well coped, 20 keep
out trespassers.
That being done, he went his way,
and did not return to Ireland for three
or four years. He then paid a visit,
but, to his amazement, the old castle
had completely disappeared, and in its
place there was a big wall, enclosing
nothing. Sending for the agent, he
demanded to know why his orders had
not been carried out. The agent in
sisted they had been.
"But where is the castle?" yelled
the marquis.
"The castle, is it ? Bedad built
the wall with it, my lord. Is it for me
to be going miles for material with the
finest stones in Ireland beside me?"
In telling the man to build the wall,
Lord Londonderry said nothing what.
ever about preserving the castle, which
is now thing of the past. Neverthe-
less, the wall is good one.

wrapping herself in warm clothes, read
a book until the morning broke. Then
she got into bed to snatch couple OF
hours sleep, knowing that the servants
would be moving about the manor and
that she need fear no further attack.
EARLY in the morning she was wax
ened by a servant who explained that a
messenger had come from Leycester
Court to say that her father was i'll and
wished her to return home instantly.
Before this summons all other con-
siderasions vanished, and, explaining
hastily the circumstances to old Lady
Walcote and leaving letter for Lola,
the girl hurried home, leaving the COM
plication in which she had become ell
tangled exactly where it had stood on
the previous day.
Thus when Pierre Turrian inquired
at breakfast with some perturbation
where Miss Leycester was he heard to
his great relief that she had gone home.
