stupefylng shock which Jars to the CEN
ter of our being and leaves a dull pain
Of wonder whether after all we are not
blown about by the wind of destiny to
a prepared doom.
1t was only the other day that four
people made up one of the happiest
families in this city. Few men were
more utterly devoted to a rarely sweet
home life than was the husband and
father whose distinguished personal APP
pearance impressed even passersby,
but whose silent. reserved outer life
was balanced by the tendercst love
and care for that little group at his
hearthside. The wife, with her girlish
beautiful face, the two daughters ap-
preaching lovely womanhood seemed
to need little outside that home to
make up Infinite delight and content
ment. They lived within themselves
and found a blissful companionship.
That other afternoon they ran gaily
down the steps for the brief Journey
to New York, where the merry Thanks
giving feast and cheer awaited them.
More than one who bade them laugh
Ing good bye remarked upon the hand
some family party and the bright fut-
ure of the fair young girls whose care
full rearing was daily adding new
treasures to unusually brilliant minds.
Four hours later, with the rich. full
life crushed out, death, its it's most
fiendish form, could not spare the
beauty of face and form of even one
of the poor MANNED victims.
l wonder Just what we can call it
that strange, fearful combination of
circumstances which sent them to their
death? 1t meant the relentless draw
ing together of influences for weeks
and months which, to one who looks
out into the blackness of this disaster,
seemed a cord of destiny sure and un-
swerving in its direct leading.
1t meant that urgent letters from A
distance ,numberless other insignificant
incidents, and even the proclama-
tion of a president, all sent Alex
ander Craig and his loved ones to their
woeful end. 1t meant. finally, that but
ten minutes stood between this small
group and a safe Journey and that
lest the time was too long for their
last words together they must be i'm
PEELED to walk forward where the doom
would be sure. What is it? why is it?
There is the lonely home over whose
threshold no familiar foot will ever
cross. The mirrors look forth vacant
ly, expectantly for the dimpling faces
which are shut away in merciful Sc
clusion. The rooms have a thousand
echoes never to be awakened by the
glad young voices, and fast in locked
caskets are the sacredly boarded
treasures of baby days and Of exquisite
girlhood. Everywhere are the dear IA
| miliar objects, but no caressing touch
from those who lived to the full the
beautiful brief years together Pitilesa
indeed, is this thing we call fate, but not
so bitter as to have divided the family
whose companionship had been of such
singular beauty and grace. Somewhere
beyond the shadows may trcy all be
dwelling today. Saucy Bess.

MUSICAL GOSSIP.

A more appreciative audience one
seldom finds than was that which was
in attendance Friday evening at the
Y. NJ. C. A. auditorium to hear the re-
cital by Ernest Gamble. Mr.. CANDLES
voice is one of great volume and as
melodious as it is strong. He has a
magnificent stage presence and he sang
the most difficult passages with splen-
did ease. The audience had been led
to expect much of him, but his sing
ing surpassed even the highest eXpec-
tations which had been formed. Be-
ginning with The Bandolero" he sang
himself at once into highest favor,
which he further sustained in his
grand rendition of Honour and Arms"
from HandePs Samson" and of The
Armourer's Song" from DeKovens
opera of robin Hood" Mr.. Gamble
also sang pretty Scotch air. The
Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond," THE
Sands o. Dee" Mozart's I'm Diesen
Hellgen Hallen," and number of 9TH
er selections, including The Wooing," ="
the Monotone" ana an Irish song, "Off
to Philadelphia"
1t was a feast of music throughout
and Mr.. CANDLES singing was received
with every evidence of highest appre-
citation on the part of the hearers. Ev-
cry number was encored.- Mansfield
News. Mr.. Gamble will sing at St.
Lukes Parish House auditorium next
Tuesday evening.
The diagram for the Beynon testl-
monial concert will open at the box Of
flee Tuesday morning, December 5, at
. o'clock. A great rush for seats is
expected as a large advance sale of
tickets is reported by number of the
ticket sellers. 1t is to be hoped that
our city will be largely represented
at this concert, as a testimonial should
represent more than a section of the
city, a nationality or denomination.
Here is musical talent in the form of
a rare tenor voice which some day we
will be glad to call our own. Among
the participants at the concert will be
Bauer's orchestra of twenty men, the
quartette of the Second Presbyterian
church under the direction of Profess
sor j. NJ. Chance, the famous Schubert
quartette, Mrs. Joseph O'Brien, So
prano, Mrs. ]. w. FitzGibbon, con-
tralto, Mr. Tom Beynon, tenor; Theo.
Hemberger, violnist. The various ac-
companists will be Charles II. Doersam,
Llewellyn Jones, j. NJ. Chance. A COM
plete list of the artists and the pro-
gramme will be published in a few
days.

bank reports an expansion OF six and one
half millions and the remainder Of the
eight million gain is made up by one or
two other banks In other words. while
there has been more or less shifting Of
funds among the other institutions. their
averages do not vary much in the aggre-

return OF American securities from Eu-

some extensive financing. The stock ex-
change transactions for the week were
very much under the enormous dealings

loan expansion of some magnitude had
been considered probable. the cash
changes are disappointing and confusing.

banks is above the average and there IS
no reason 70 anticipate that the rate

notable activity in commercial paper at

have not proved their intrinsic value

certed action in forming a common policy
with reference to these offerings, how
