INSTITUTE OF LANGUAGES.
Rev Dr. Alexander is Making a Great
 Success With His Classes

Rev Dr. Alexander is Making a Great
 Success With His Glasses.
 The institute of languages established at No. Wooster place by Rev. pr. Louis A. Alexander, rabbi of the Con- gregation B'nai Scholom on Olive street, is attracting considerable attention in the city from those interested in lan- guages Dr. Alexander is a thorough scholar in both the classical and the modern languages, including the Ro- nance languages, French, Italian and German.He came here from New York, where he was in charge of large and wealthy congregation, to be in the en- vironment of the culture and education of this university city, and being great ly interested in language study and thoroughly equipped to teach it, has finally concluded at the solicitation of his many friends, to give others the benefit of his knowledge
 He is now teaching French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, Greek Arabic, Hebrew, Syrian and oth- CT Semitic and continental languages. His studio or class room is large, airy and pleasant room, equipped with everything beneficial to his students. He is taking classes ofnot less than five nor more than ten, so that each stu dent may be assurediof that personal instruction which is so valuable and without which a comprehensive study of the languages Is impossible in larger classes.
 Since he has started his institute Dr. Alexander has been called upon by many professors of languages, clergy men and professional men, all of whom have been favorably' iinpressed with his valuable work. At present several cler- gymen of the city are taking his course in Hebrew, and many prominent New Haven women are studying with him French and other Romance languages, of which he is teacher par excellence. His instruction in biblical, Talmudic and rabinical literature is said to be the best to be obtained in this section of the country.
 The institute opened October and al- ready a large number of classes have been organized under his tuition. In- dividual lessons are given at a slight advance over the class terms, if desired. His instruction in languages for college preparation is pronounced most valua- ble, and his pleasant, large class rooms make the study especially pleasing Dr. Alexander is a cultured man, and in struction under him cannot fail to be valuable as we'll as pleasant.

COMMITTEE PREP4 RING
For the Annual Donation Day of New
 Haven Orphnn BsyInm.

The general committee in charge of the donations to the New Haven or phan asylum for the coming year have just commenced their work, and are now organizing for the 1900 campaign. A meeting was held Wednesday even- ing in the office of John Manson, the chairman of the committee, and the work divided. As usual the different wards in the city will each have dis tinct chairman with from ten to dozen assistants, and upon these gen. of the seasons contributions. The cir culars describing the work have al- ready been sent out and collectors asked to take up the work. There has been gratifying response, it is said, to these invitations, and over 100 gentle men will canvas the city on Donation day, October 26. As usual there will be little or no need of urgent invitations to the people of New Haven to assist with their contributions. Usually it takes all of the collectors time simply to take care of the gifts, and there is every reason to believe that this year the response will be as encouraging as it was last year.
 The annual Donation day for the New Haven orphan asylum is now and has long been an established feature of the charity work of the year in this city. This year is the twenty sixth In the history of the institution of the cus- tom. In few days there will be another meeting of the committee in charge of the work, and at that time the ward chairmen will be definitely decided upon and the work begun in earnest. Only two weeks remain before the day and 1t is hoped that the citi- zens of New Haven will prepare to as- sist the collectors in every way to the benefit of the asylum,

Addresses Made By Active Workers
 Conditions of Schools.
 Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Oct 13.-At to- days session of the Mohonk Indian conference addresses were made by ac- tive workers for the Indians in govern ment or mission schools or in other capacities. The general tone of these reports was hopeful.
 Testimony was uniform as to the eX- cellence of the schools, the high char acter and capacity of the teachers and the success of their instruction and training, not only in the great schools at Carlisle, Hampton, Lawrence and Chilocco, but also in the reservation and day schools. It was stated that the agents in charge of the reservations were, with perhaps very few eXcep- tions, faithful intelligent and real friends and helpers of the Indians. The speakers were: Dr. Gates, chairman of the conference, who has lately visited many agencies and schools; Miss Col lins of the Standing Rock agency; Miss Riel. superintendent of Indian schools; Rev. Frank Kennedy. a Choctaw In- dian, now missionary among the Apaches; Miss Schoville, formerly of Hampton institute; Senator Dawes, Judge Skinner, superintendent of edu- cation for the state of New York, and Mrs. A. H. Quinlan of Philadelphia.

THE STOCK MARK EFT.
The Temper of Speculation DefermiI
 edly HeRrish.

The Temper or speculation Determhn-
 edly Hearish.
 New York, Oct. 13.-The temper of speculation was determinedly bear1sh to-day and all favorable incidents were persistently ignored. The reactionary spirit found it's chief vent by selling Brooklyn Transit. That stock was easily the leader of the market In point of activity, and although the dealings did not approach the high water mark of a few years ago, the unsupported condition of the stock and the large blocks offered suggested resumption of late conditions. Metro politan Street Railway seemed to show acute sympathy. Manhattan was little affected and the New York gas stocks were firm in tone. There were some wide movements in stocks not usually prominent, but the market as whole was lethargic New York Air Brake fell points and the Flower group as a whole, except Rock Island, was not ably weak in sympathy with Brooklyn Transit Offerings of Sugar and To- bacco were greater than could be ab- sorbed and both stocks showed sharp net declines. The American Mating stocks were acutely depressed, the com mon losing 1-2 and prferred 2. The in dustrials were more affected than the railroads, the movement in the latter being confined to narrow limits except for a few stocks.
 Laclede Gas rose points and Great Northern preferred over point. The market seemed rather firm for time during the morning, but the pesistent weakness of Brooklyn Rapid Transit broke through the resistance. Call loans were decidedly easier again, the maximum rate not exceeding 1-2 per cent, and the majority of the days loans being made at 5 per cent. or be- low. This did not prevent slight re- action in sterling exchange rates, in sympathy with the easier tone of for eign money markets, thus dissipating fears of immediate gold exports. Pre- lminary estimates of the week movements of money give propect Of a slightly improved condition in tor ! morrow's bank statement The banks have further reduced their loans so that there is a fair prospect of a mod crate increase in the surplus reserves. The first payment of anticipated inter- est on government bonds will be made on Monday at the sub-treasury, but the prospects do not indicate that applica- ton will be made on large scale all though this payment is without re- bate.
 The bond market was moderately ac- ii1,n and pripa changes were mixed, To- tai sales, par value, $1,7650O0.
