Gunners, Patron sa1n,.

Why was st. Barbara chosen to be
the patron saintess of all gunners7 It is
one of those things which are to be
known and which one ought to know,
but does not. Meanwhile there is the
fact that she does intercede for all gun
ners by land or sea. In the old French
navy the Ste. Barbe was the gun
room. and the name may be found with
that meaning attached to it in all die
tionaries. Moreover, in France she is
the saint not only Of gunners, but of all
fire brigades. The sapeurs pompiers,
who, for some mysterious reason. are a
regular chopping block for jokes, hold
their holiday on the day of her FEAST

Indifference to Disturbances in Foreign
 Markets.


 Indifference to Disturbances in Foreig, Markets.
 New York, Oct. 5.--The stock market
 to-day continued to show marked indlf- ference to the disturbances in foreign
 markets on account of the war scare and of money difficulties, as we'll as to the continued stiffness of the local money rate. Prices dipped at the open ing of the rumor of an invasion of Natal by the Boer forces and on the further advance in the Bank of Eng lands official rate of discount. But the opening prices were for the most part the lowest and the market quite promptly set about retrieving it's de- cline. The liquidations for London ac- count was of comparatively small vol- ume, sales not exceeding 15,000 shares. In fact the foreign stock markets were quite firm on bear covering. Coupled with the late rally in British consols, the influence of the war scare was much diminished.
 The undertone of the market for stocks was very firm, and the bidding up process failed to bring out large of- ferings. A large number of stocks not usually dealt in which were brought into activity and numerous odd lots which were recorded on the tape. This latter feature Is always indicative of the presence of the bargain hunter, who Is buying stocks outright to hold as an investment. There is undoubted- ly growth of confidence that the strin- gent period for money Is over. Some gold has arrived from Cuba, and the Gub-treasury has paid some drafts from the San Francisco mint on account of gold deposited there, Next week the gold on it's way from Europe, amount ing to over $2000,000, will figure in the bank return. The rising discount rates in London caused an additional ad- vaice in the rate for sterling exchange here in Paris and in Berlin.
 The bond market was very dull in sympathy with stocks Total sales, par value, s1,275,00o

SPARE DIVORCE CASE.
One of the New York Batch Which
 Came Up Last Winter.

One of the New York Batch Which
 Came Up Last Winter. From the Providence Journal1 The divorce case of Mary w. Spare against George F. Spare was on trial before Justice Rogers in the appellate division of the supreme court yester- day morning. The case is one of sever al, in which the interested persons were New Workers, that came before the su- preme court last winter. This petition for divorce on the grounds of non-sup- port was dismissed by the three jus- tices last January on the ground that the petitioner was not resident of this state, it being thought possible that the petitioner was simply temporarily re- siding in the city for the purpose of get ting a divorce.
 The testimony heard yesterday did not differ materially from that of the first trial.
 In response to questions from Justice Rogers, Mrs. Spare said that, she in tended to make her home in this city, and had bought house in which she intended letting furnished rooms.
 The bill alleges non-support as the cause for seeking a divorce. and the re- spondent seeks to prove that he sup ported s wife until she left him, also attempting to prove that the complain ant has not lived in this city since 1898.
 The complainant med with another reverse after the counsel had made their final arguments in the afternoon, Jus tice Rogers declining to grant the peti- tioner a bill of divorce on the ground that residence in this state had not been proven and that the merits of the case did not warrant divorce.
