The Stock Market.

New York, Sept. 19.-The market started off this morning as though 1t had shaken off the recent tight money scare, but the marked weakness of Su- gar, which made up two-fifths of the total transactions, unsettled the tone early and carried prices below Satur- days level The decline was quite steady and general for the remainder of the day. Evidently last weeks sharp recovery was the result of ex- tensive covering of short lines by spec ulators and the general speculative public is now prepared to pause and take breath to study how far the last oscillation of the market has brought prices to the true level of values. It is more and more evident that the late apprehension over a squeeze in money was fictitious. But it might be ascer- tained that very powerful financial in terests who have dominating voice in the control of vast surplus capital had taken their profits in stocks and were willing to see a reaction. It Is obvious, however, that their motives in taking profits must have been a conviction that prices were equal to or in excess of their true value. The problem of to-day's speculator is whether the re- action has carried prices below their value or whether conditions have so far changed as to increase their value The monthly report of the treasury bu- reau of statistics just issued throws light on the money question. The amount of circulation of deducting sums in the treasury on August 1 was $162, ,727, ,205 greater than one year be- fore Yesterdays treasury statement showed that the cash balance in the treasury had increased since that time a little over $63,OO0, 0G0. This would leave an increase in the circulation for the year of about SlOO, 900, 900, not count ing the imports of gold and the increase in bank circulation since August 1. Neither does this take into account the large increase in the last few weeks of government deposits with the banks. There is room, therefore, for very largely increased use of money in the country in spite of the treasury's ab- sorption by the loan. The actual sur plus reserve of New York banks, all though reduced to less than $5, ,000 900, also requires some qualifying consider atiens. For one thing, the government deposits are secured by government bonds, thus obviating the necessity of actual cash reserves to secure them. Some of these banks do not report their government deposits at all in making out clearing statements. Furthermore the surplus reported Is above the 25 per cent, requirement., although the state banks are required by law to maintain only 15 per cent. of reserve. These facts explain why the measures of relief offered by the treasury depart ment have not been made use of.
 The technical condition with the sur plus reserve almost wiped out warrant ed a marking up of loans, but there was plenty of money to go around at the higher rates. Tomorrow the treas ury will disburse nearly $5,000,000 of anticipated interest due October 1 on the registered 4s of 1907.

VERMONT NOTES.

Industry of State Convicts-William
 M. Evarts' Country Home.
 Windsor, Vt, Sept. 12.-This is a fine old town of about 25OO inhabitants, sit- uated on the Connecticut river about no miles above Springfield. It contains federal building for the postoffice and U. S. courts, and six church edifices, Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Congregational, Methodist, Baptist and Unitarian. The Vermont state prison is also located here.
 A notable mountain peak, Mt. Ascut- ney, is in the vicinity. Hon. William M Evarts has fine country seat here, a large farm with a beautiful lake and various buildings There is a public library and high school.
 The convention which framed the first constitution of Vermont met at Windsor, and the hall in which the sessions were held was standing until recently.
 The state prison is a model of neat ness. It contains TAO male and fe- male convicts. The former are employ ed in making shoes. They are clean CT and tidier set of men than can be found in most factories. I was surpris- ed at the brisk industry with which they worked. If they had been work ing "by the piece' they would not have been more diligent.
 The cells of the prisoners are neat and clean and much taste is shown by most of the prisoners in their adorn- ment with pictures and bric-a- brac, the latter of their own manufacture. There was not a single prisoner in the hospi- tai I asked one of the officers what are the prevailing diseases? He an- swered me, we have none.
 There is an air of tidiness and thrift in Windsor which I was astonished to see. I failed to find any sign of man. ufacturing or other business. There is an excellent system of water supply, and a gas and electric light plant. The Windsor House. is fine look ing brick edif1ce, and is g, well kept hos telry. VIATOR

Interstate Fair at Trenton, September
 26, 27, 2s, go, and 30.

The great Inter-S State Fair, located on the New York Division of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad three miles east of Trenton, grows more extensive and in- teresting each year, and the exhibition to be held on September 26, 27, 2S, 29, and 30 promises to be unusually com- prehensive and attractive. Every de- partment will be replete with superior and instructive displays. The blooded stock exhibit will be particularly fine, and the daily programme of races contains the speediest classes obtaina- ble. Circus acts of rare merit and dar- ing, and vaudeville entertainments of all kinds will be presented.
 The large purses offered In the mani- fold exhibits and contests insure un- usual efforts in the endeavor to prove superiority in the various departments.
 The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, as is its yearly custom, will sell excur- sion tickets on this occasion at greatly reduced rates from stations within a wide radius, and special trains over the New York, Belvidere and Amboy Divi- sions will be run through to the grounds, thus avoiding street-car trans fer. The management of the Fair has put forth extraordinary efforts to make this years exhibition the greatest ever given.

DWIGHT PLACE CHURCH
WE'LL ATTENDED MEETING OFMEM-
 BERS HELD LAST NIGHT.

Definite Action on the Pastor's ltesigma- ton Postponed Until Next Monday Same and Rcport-aulte, Probable That Request for tho Withdrawal VIII be Made.
 The meeting of the members of Dwight Place church called in acord- ance with the request of their pastor, Dr. J. F. Twtchell, to take action on his recent resignation, was held in the Sunday school rooms of the church last night. It was well attended. The church moderator, F. H. Sperry, was chairman. About an hour was con- sumed in discussion, and it was even tually decided to appoint committee of five. which committee is to consider the matter of the resignation, and re- port at another meeting to be held in the same place next Monday night. Some of those present were in favor of
  mulating request that the resignation be withdrawn or that it be accepted, and after the above motion had been passed were desirous of having it re- considered, but a motion to that effect was lost. Those favoring the motion as passed said that the matter was one of too great moment to be decided in haste, and that time should be given to enable all the members of the church to fully consider the resigna- ton before acting upon it.
 The committee is composed of J. c. North, J. B. Smith, S. A. Clark, Will liam Campbell and J. Y. McDermott.
 J. c. North in speaking of Rev. Dr. Twitchells work stated that he has been with the church since June 1, 1885. At that time the membership was 402, and on September it was 867. Since June 1 there have been 337 taken into the church by profession of faith and 516 by letter making the total admis- sions S53.
 The church clerk read a letter from Rev. Dr. Twitchell in which he stated that he was not considering call from his old congregation in Cleveland, while the fact is that some of the members of his old congregation simply express ed a desire that he make his future home in Cleveland, and he is not con- sidering a call from any church..

THE HOUSE OF All TONG.
A Queer Family History from Our Is

A Queer Family History from Our Isl-
 ands in the Central Pacific.
 The An Fong family is unique, even In the lotus land of Hawaii, where the dusky Kanaka belle marries the blond scion of many proud Saxon house and where various brunette beauties can boast of mixture of blood of a com- plex blending.
 MT. An Fong, a Chinese gentleman with the intelligent face of the higher Chinese merchant, left China and came to Honolulu in search of fortune; al- though he found himself in the tropics, he eschewed hammocks and was shy of the seductive siesta. It might even be said that the seemingly impassive MT. An Fong hustled. At first he open ed small store and was an importer, in a modest way, of Chinese goods. Then he branched out and went heavily into opium, and he began to be known as g. very wealthy man. Later he in- vested money in a sugar plantation, and this investment, too, proved a pay ing one. MT. An Fong was also pru- dent and provident, and, although hos- pitable, he was very different from his Hawaiian brother who lived in the hap py, easy to-day, gave no thought to the morrow and sold a piece of land when he wanted to give ''luau" with atten- dant hula and other adjuncts, of mu- nificence that comes high.
 MT. An Fong married girl in Hono- lulu whose parents were of Hawaiian and Portuguese ancestry respectively, with a dash of English somewhere in the remote past, and the couple lived happily together. Gradually the fam fly grew, until thirteen daughters and two sons clustered about the An Fong knee. MT An Flung built 3 beautiful home on Nuuanu avenue, the most pie turesque portion of Honolulu, with it's palm-lined roads and wealth of tropi- cal foliage. The house was large; it reason to be, for although the family was united in love, it was necessarily divided by it's numbers. The house was very handsome, of the pagoda form of architecture; there were two stories, and each had veranda running about it with pointed effects, suggestive of China, and very different from the or dinary lanai of it's neighbors.
 The An Fongs had carriage and a Chinese coachman. MT. An Fong sat in the back seat when being driven to the wharf for a first call on a newly arrived man-of-war, or other formal function. At other times he sat by the coachman and to the uneducated Amer ican eye this was disastrous, although with familiarity came the knowledge of distinction-the coachman sometimes did up his queue and MT An Fong's was always left hanging.
 MT. An Fongs affairs prospered He was lucky and was wise. He was re- spected among the merchants of for eign birth and looked up to by his own countrymen. He employed one of the best lawyers, and he had the caution and calm judgment of his race, joined with their indomitable energy and per severance. And he began to send mon ey to China.
 He bought a summer place for his
