Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian.
Thus, while only one-quarter of those who
enjoy the facilities of the postal depart
their native tongue. English, two-thirds Of
those who correspond do so in the English
language.
This situation arises from the fact that
so large share of the commercial business
Of the world is done in English even among
those who do not speak English as their
native language. There are, for instance.
more than 10000 postoffices in India, the
business Of which in letters and papers ag-
gregates more than 3OO,OO0,000 parcels a
year, and the business of these offices is
done chiefly in English. though of India s
total population, which Is nearly 300. 00O, 900,
fewer than 100000 persons either speak or
understand English.
Though 9O,00o,oOo speak or understand
Russian, the business of the Russian post
department is relatively small, the number
Of letters sent throughout the cars en-
pire amounting to less than one-tenth the
number mailed In Great Britain alone.
though the population of Great Britain is
considerably less than one-half the popula-
ton Of Russia in Europe.
The southern and central American coun-
tries in which either Spanish or Portuguese
is spoken do comparatively little postoffice
business, the total number of letters posted
and collected in year in all the countries
of South and Central America and the West
Indies being less than in Australia. Chile
and Argentina are, in fact, the only two
South American countries in which any i'm
portant postal business is done, and most
of the letters received from or sent to for
eign countries are not in Spanish but In
English, French, German or Italian.-New

QUEER OLD ENGLISH CHURCH
Built by Richard III. and Used Only
Twice q Year

About a mile from the village Of Towton,
near York, there is an exceedingly interest,"
ing and curious old church, known as the
Lead Hall chapel. 1t Is remarkable for sew
eral seasons, chiefly because of its age; its
very small size, probably It would not seat
twenty people altogether Its mean fittings;
and, lastly, because of its curious choir.
To understand about this choir it is neces-
sary to review a little Of the history of this
famous old place of worship. There are
two theories as to its origin. 1t is most
commonly believed that this chapel Is the
one known to have been built by Richard
III in memory of those who fell at Towton
in 1851. 1t is claimed that the yearly serv-
ices now taking place In 1t are revival of
those that were formerly ordered for the
purpose of praying for the souls of the good
Christians who fell in the great battle. An
other supposition declares this chapel to be
attached to the old manor house of the Tyas
family at Lead hall, and that the memorial
chapel of Richard III has long since disap-
peared.
1t is obvious, however, that If this were
the case, a service every six months would
not greatly edify the people In their spirit
ual life.
Having thus explained the chapels his
tory We may go to the choir. There are
two services yearly held at the Lead hall
church-one in April and another in Octo-
Der. There is however. no regular body
Of choristers, but on such occasions choir
Is made up from the Grief singers in the
neighboring towns. who are under the
control. for this purpose, of a well-known
musical professor in Yorkshire. The ma
jorlty of the men and boys who make up
the choir are drawn from York and Leeds.
They receive a stated fee for their day S
services and are provided with refresh
ments.
The regular service of the Church of Eng
land Is used. The congregation at these
services often does not exceed half dozen
people. or half the size of the choir. The
vicar of neighboring parish conducts the
services.
Those who maintain the theory of the
chapeps origin in the time of Richard III
declare that that king made grant of mon
ey for the holding of memorial services, and
that 1t is for this reason that two services
year are regularly held.-Sunday Reader.

Conditions as Shown by transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, June 13.-The slump in the
stock market today was surprise to most
speculative observers, who looked for an
advance in prices after the apparent ADAM
donment of last weeks persistent attempt
to secure a Reaction. The underlying cause
of today's violent decline was not very
clear, and many suggested solutions of the
puzzle found currency. Superf1cially, there
was some evident sympathy with the drop
ping of the bottom out of the wheat market,
and there were very heavy sales Of securi-
ties on the New York exchange on tele-
graphic orders from Chicago. A decline
in the price of wheat does not necessarily
imply harm to railroad properties, as was
seen in the notable advance In the Changers
last Friday on favorable government re-
port, but so violent decline in wheat as
that of today c&-cuses some question wheth-
er the farmers will find profit in the sale
OF the years crop, and the railroad COM
panies are, Of course, dependent for their
prosperity on the prosperity of the popula-
ton they serve. Furthermore, such a
shrinkage in values as that in grain today
involves large liquidation of colaterals,
age to prices of stocks Weakness per-
meated pretty much the whole list, but
was especially marked in the Grangers
Peoples Gas, and some of the high-prced
specialties. This acute selling pressure
from Chicago gave rise to some persistent
reports of pending large failure in Chi
cago in the grain trade. But there was
also an ingenious suggestion to the effect
Gio. d I'iSe speculative coHDlnatlOn In
Chicago was manipulating the market with
a view to going long on wheat while going
short on stocks, on the prospect of inev-
table rumors of crop damage before l.sr-
vest time. Damage to the crop, or even
widely credited reports Of crop damage,
would certainly result in a bulge in the
wheat market, and in a sharp reaction In
stocks. London bought freely of stocks
mere at the morning decline and helped to
weaken the exchange market. The rally

plainly on covering by professional traders

The stock markets here were quiet today.
This was anticipated, and they probably
will be quiet for week. The tone was
fairly steady. Americans opened dun on
New York prices and rallied on general
buying here, but subsequently gave way
and closed full on the lack of New York

ture was the sharp rise in Turkish stocks,
on Paris and Berlin buying. There is evil

IRON MOLDERS AWAKEN.
They VIII Entertain the National
Vice President This Week.

A special committee of the iron mOlders'
union, of st. Paul, held a meeting last night
to make arrangements for tie coming visit
of Second Vice President NJ. ]. Kehoe, OF the
International Mine Workers of North Amer
lea of Buffalo, n. Y who is expected to ar
rive in St. Paul Monday. Mr.. Kehoe will
spend a week in st. Paul and vicinity In the
interest Of the organization which he repre-
sents. While the local union is at present IN
good shape, 1t is expected that he Will ma
teriaily add to its strength during his stay
here.
Minneapolis is without a union at this time
ard SO is Duluth, and it is the expectation
OF members of the local uni n that Mr.. Kehoe
will put an organization into each of these
cities before he leaves Minnesota.
The organization which he represents is in
coed condition at this time. There have been
