Embraces the Catholic Faith.
Consistent to the last, Durrant died
protesting religion. But he died, ac-
cepting at the last moment, the COM
forts of the Catholic church instead of
those of the Baptist faith in which he
was reared. Rev. RAIDER, a Protestant
minister, had arranged to ascend the
scaffold with Durrant, but the minister
would not say that he thought Durrant
innocent, and the condemned man de-
clined to accept his services unless
RAIDER professed belief in his innocence.
Then it was that the once ardent Bap-
list turned to the Catholic church for
consolation, and called upon Father

President Mckinley were part Of
conspiracy Of the silver men to disrupt

Senator Teller branded the publication
as an insult to the advocates of the free
coinage of silver. He was satisfied that
the president and Secretary Gage were
in full accord upon the financial ques-
ton. He attacked the republican party
because it was party advocating the
gold standard, and expressed his inten-
ton of doing all in his power to defeat
the party in 1900, and to drag the pres
ent administration from power, because
the policy of the party was, in his opin-

BUSINESS LOOKS UP.
Tone of Quiet Confidence Pervades
Nearly All Branches.


New York, Jan. 8.-Bradstreet's says:
1.-THE year opens with tone of quiet con-
fidence pervading nearly all branches Of
business, with encouraging activity in the
iron trade, resumption of work by many
thousands of industrial employees in the
western glass industry, largely reduced
volume of business failures, as compared
with corresponding periods in preceding
years, and a general outlook certainly not
inferior to any previous year at this time.
DiStrfbutive trade has naturally been
rather slow pending stock taking, and the
return of statesmen to the field While the
volume of distributive business is no larger,
Industrial activity Is special feature I'M
confined to any one section, but specially
notable in the west. Resumption of work
after the holidays has been generally en-
couraging in that section. Autumn weather
in the northwest checks distribution. but
collections are reported good. Sales of
southern iron are large. Louisiana sugar
crop returns have been very satisfactory
Nine-tenths of Florida's orange crop was
gathered before the late freeze. and cotton
is steady and in good export demand. Wool
has opened up actively in some eastern
markets, and lower prices for cotton goods
have stimulated some demand.
1.-THE holidays have exercised their ex-
pected effect on export trade in leading
cereals Wheat exports from the United
States and Canada for the first week in
January amount to 3,4S1, $40 bushels, against
5,495,000 bushels last week, 1881. 900 bushels
in this week year ago, and 3,47l 600 BUSH
els in the corresponding week in 1896. Corn
exports also show a sensible diminutf0n,
amounting to 4,0S6,000 bushels last week,
900 in this week a year ago and $685.
geo bushels in the corresponding week OF
