StCckS-There was a brief show OF
strength by some stocks in the early
trading this morning, due to prices
having been advanced on the London
exchange above the New York parity
If last night. The advance did not
reach the London level, so that there
was considerable arbitrage buying for
London account. There were some
buyng orders also which We're execu-
ted through the channel usually en-
ployed by Washington operators. This
buying soon came to an end and gave
color to the supposition that the or
ders were merely placed for effect The
whole list soon yielded to depression
and the decline was only occasionally
arrested by unimportant rallies during
the rest Of the day. The strength dis
PLAYED by American securities in the
early dealings in London was in strong
contrast to the weakness of Spanish
government bonds which we're poorly
supported either in London or Paris
The only rational explanation that
seems available for this movement is
that London felt that there was pros
pect of avoiding hostilities between the
United States and Spain, but was
alarmed by the Spanish government
acute financial straits. Sentiment on
the local exchange with regard TO
values was not in accord with that OF
London, as is shown by tO-days net
declines. which run between one and
two points all through the list and
over that in exceptional cases. The
fail OF prices was at no time violent,
but the offerings OF securities were
constant and there was no support APP
parent from any point. There was in
deed a less acute depression shown by
St Paul than by the other grangers,
the price having crossed Burlington
during the day and closing above
Kansas & Texas preferred were excep-
tiOnaIlv weak and fell at one time ga
points. The extraordinary weakness
of exchange made it possible to-day
for the great imports to withdraw
gold from the Bank of England in
spite of the virtual premium asked by
that institution. The demand in Paris
for gold was reflected also in stiff
ening of the discount rate in Paris
Yesterdays late decline in local call
money rates proved to have been
manipulated and the rate steadied to
IL per cent again to-day. The local
banks continue to lose money to the
interior. and how far this movement
is offset ty the receipts of imported
gold will not be definitely known until
to-morrow's bank statement The de-
cline to-day in the exchanges OF the
New York clearing house banks to less
than S109 100000 indicates the decreas-
cd use of money. The banks are con-
,racting their loans, but quite a large
part of this contraction goes to release
sterling exchange, which was used as
collateral and which is being liquidated
for the importation Of gold.

KAFFIR STORIES.

hostess told the Kaffir boy to "bring the

whispered, "No wine.' Nonsense, .

NO persisted the native, "me look at
all the bottles; all say Extra dry!'"
A second woman engaged a boy in
September, and at the end of the month
gave him his wages. AT the end of Oc-
tober she again proceeded to pay him,
when he surprised her by Directing to
the amount. He wanted to be paid
more for thirty-one days than for thir-
ty-not unreasonably. The woman re-
monstrated, and broke into poetry.

THE MODERN EvANGEL1cALs.

How far is the evangelical creed of
to-day identical with the evangelical
creed Of a century ago? 1t has had its
representatives down to very recent
years, but if we could ask the opinion
of the most conspicuous of those rep
resentatives we have little doubt as to
the answer we should get. Would Mr..
Sturgeon have warranted the ortho-
doxy of many of his own brethren?
Would he have declared himself salts
fed with the preaching in many Bap-
fist chapels, in many chapels belonging
to other denominations, in many evan
gelical churches? There is evidence,
we think, to show that he would have
been-that he was-very far from sat
isfied with it. Certainly the published
sermons that fill so large place in
publishers advertisements convey a
very different impression from those Of
the early evangelicals. They may
have preached but few doctrines, an
have been at little pains to reconcile
those they preached with the facts Of
history or psychology. But they
preached them with a strength of con-
viction, with an assurance of their
truth, with an indifference to the re-
ception they met with, which EFFORTS
admiration even from those who are
least inclined to agree with them.
We doubt whether since the days of
the early Franciscans new movement
ever declined so rapidly from it's first
fervors. Evangelicalism, which was
first prosecuted and then despised,
grew into public favor, filed the Epis-
copal bench, became, as Mr.. Birrell
says, the religion of "the well-to-d do
Christian" One by one its distinctive
characteristics dropped off it, until at
length it came to be known for the
most part for what it was not. Evan
gelical'' stood for those members of the
Church of England who We're neither
Tractarians nor Broad Churchmen.
OF late years there has been reaction,
and among the younger clergy there
are new developments of energy which
recall in some respects the enthusiasm
of century ago. But whether the
likeness is more than skin deep, wheth-
err the new Evangelicals have any real
title to the name, whether they are not
the precursors of new party rather
than the restorers of an old one, we
have not as yet the means of determin-
ing.-London Spectator.

AN EXPENSIVE DISEASE.

Upon several occasions 1 have pointed
out the loss of money to the United
States alone by typhoid fever and SINH
lar diseases, and the result is startling.
Estimating upon the basis of fifty
thousand lives lost and two hundred
and fifty thousand cases which recover
annually from the disease, and taking
the lowest legal value assessed by any
state for human life, we have the
enormous sum of $27S,000,0 900. Assum-
ing that it is possible by proper i'm
provement in the quality of water sup
ply to reduce the typhoid cases and
death rates by eighty-fiv per cent,
then of this sum 1926, 800, 900 might be
applied annually to the payment of in
terest and sinking-fund charges, with
no greater cost than we now sffuer
from the annual money losses by this
disease A sum which at five per cent.
annually for interest and sinking-fund
charges for forty years will justify an
outlay on works for water publication

ghts in which it is impossible for two
well-organized and well-trained men in
properly padded and otherwise pre-
pared ring to do each other mortal or
even serious injury. The essential diff
ference between such contests in an
cient as compared with modern times
lies in the fact that whereas victory in
the latter is achieved by shock with the
padded fist, it was in the former
achieved with the fist extensively as
well as defensively clad, and thus con-
verified into a weapon of the most cruel

hap. On about the first run out l had
to play foxy. 1t was the custom of all
blockade runners about to run out TO
steam down the Cape Fear river to
just inside Fort Caswell and then await
night for dash through the lines.
All during the day the Federal vessels
could see us at anchor inside, and /
have known as many as thirty vessels
to be at the Southport anchorage at one
time, all waiting for a favorable chance
to make dash, Slack high water was
the time usually chosen on. better still,
just on the last of the flood tide, which
gave one little more chance of getting
free in the event of running aground.
ON our first run out the night was
dark and overcast. | headed the Jane
out over the bar and stood to the
southwark and eastward. The vessel
had not cleared the bar more than q
couple of miles when, right after me,
under full Roadway, / made out in
chase blockading steamer. How long
he had seen me do not know. Posi-
bly the crew made me out as l passed
the bar and perhaps purposely allowed
me sufficient free run to enable them
to get between me and the bar channel.
AS l saw the steamer rapidly over
hauling me, 1 gave the Jane the helm
hard a-starboard, throwing her head
broard off the beach. The Federal ship
saw my move, and, of course assum-
ing that / proposed to make straight
break out to sea, sheered to port him
self. But instead of righting my helm
when the James head was well off
shore, l allowed the little vessel to
wheel right around.
THE Jane flew about like top, and
just as we were almost overlapping our
pursuer he opened on us with his for
ward guns. The cannon balls shrieked
over our heads, and two bowled across
our main deck. Before the smoke of
the steamers first discharge had
cleared l had passed him on his star
board beam and was going full speed to
his rear. The smoke of his guns must
have blinded all on board, for he kept
at full Roadway on his original course,
still firing gun after gun, supposedly at
me. The eyes of all his people must
have been directly ahead. No one
could have looked abeam or over the
quarter, for if one had l must certainly

speed in the opposite direction to the
bar.
"As I worked back 7 could hear the
dull boom of my pursuer's guns thun-
dering away in the distance, his shots
aimed doubtless at some imaginary
vessel. I heard his last gun just as
was engaged in dropping anchor inside
of Fort Caswell. The report of his last
gun sounded fully fifteen miles off to
the southwark and eastward 1t was
no use attempting to run out again that
night, for by this time the whole Fede-
raj fleet had been stirred up, and the
whole Federal fleet meant some thirty
ships of war.
81 made in all seven round trips in
the Jane. All seven trips We're made
between Nassau and Wilmington. The
Jane was lost on her eighth run from
Nassau to Wilmington. 1t was on the
night of February Q, 1864, when the
United States blockading steamer

ton, captured me."-San Francisco

When unsolicited testimonials are

prominence as the distinguished citi-
zen whose portrait is here printed
when among the thousands of letters
received by the proprietors of Paine' s
celery compound there are to be found
in almost every mail some from men
and women of national reputation, it
is easily understood why this remedy
which makes people well has proven
it's remarkable efficacy among all
classes of people.
No other remedy has the hearty ap-
proval of a like body of educated men
and women and professional men, nor
has there ever been remedy that was
welcomed in so many intelligent, pru-
dent homes, where pains is taken to
get only the best in so vital mat
ter. In such families all over the coun-
try Paine's celery compound is the first
and only remedy used.
Prof. Phelps had studied the nerves
in health and disease, when we'll nour-
ished and when under-nOurished, in
men and women and children years be-
fore he looked for the remedy. Paine's
celery compound is the outcome of his
entire professional life. 1t is the one
remedy that the world could not lose
today at any price.
Paine's celery compound induces the
body to take on solid flesh.

The ablest physicians universally

wherever there is great need of Wig
orous and prompt restoring of health
and strength to the worm out system
! Paine's celery 5.compound brings
about at once healthy appetite, com

bowels. Its use makes short work OF
disease. 1t rapidly drivexront- neural
ga, sleeplessness. dyspepsia and rheu-
matism from the system. 1t removes
that lassitude, or tired feeling" which
betokens weak nerves and poor blood.

ment in the state capitol at Topeka On

E. Bush said briefly: II have used
