months. worked with them constantly
until November. 1898. Then he was let
out. The following spring Re wen: to
the mills again and asked if they had
any work for him. He was told that
they had not. and he learned after Some
questioning that they did not think there
would he an opening for him.

A MINISTER'S R

The estate of the late Rev. Thomas X.
Beecher. of Elmira. does not exceed 49,
charitable men of his day. He gave
away nearly his entire salary, $500 a
year, and nan incidents of his kind
deeds are related by those who know
him best. On one occasion a few men,
bers of his congregation. becoming al
most ashamed of his dress, gave him an
overcoat. Mr.. Beecher gave it to a poor
man. A second Overcoat was then given
to the minister. and he presented it to
another poor man. When Mr.. Beeoher's
friends gave him a third Overcoat they
made him promise that he would always
keep it. This he promised, n kept his
word.

The other evening as a muscular per-
son was passing Il house a lady who
stood at the gate called out to him:
'Sir. I appeal to you for protection
whats the matter?' he asked, as he
stopped short.
There's a man in the house. and he
won't go out of doors, though l have or
dered him to-
He won't, eh?" Wen see about that"
Thereupon the man gave the woman MS
coat to hold ard sailed into the house.
He found a man at the supper table, and
took him by the neck n remarked:
Mice style of brute You are. eh? Come
out of this or Ill break every bone in

The man fought. and it was not until
a chair had been broken and the table
upset that he "a hauled out of doors by
the legs n given a fling through the
gates.

dullness of the whole market at the de-
cline seemed to favor the bull party, so
that their change of policy was the more
difficult of explanation. The factors upon
which they relied yesterday to help the
advance continued in force for the most
part today. Possibly the unfavorable as
pect of the proposed coal strike settle
ment had assumed a rather more positive
phase today, and Lackawanna and New
Jersey Central scored sharp declines,
though the number of shares transferred
was so small as to deprive the changes
of all significance. The only incident of
the day which resembled aggressive ac-
tion by the bulls was the marking up of
railroads controlled by the Vanderbilts or
affiliated interests. The rate for call
money held yesterday at high rate and
perhaps disappointed some expectation
that the rate then was due to passing
causes, including payments due amount
ing to over $4,000, 900 on subscriptions to
new Baltimore and Ohio stock which was
underwritten at 80. The payment or
Government interest at the Sub-Treasury
brought some supply of money to the mar
ket. Sterling exchange also continued its
conspicuous downward course and the
posted rates were reduced another half
cent following yesterdays half cent re-
duction. The equanimity of the foreign
money markets in face of the threatening
approach of exchange to the gold import
point finds no adequate explanation, but
foreign bankers adhere to the view that
gold will not come in, in spite of today's
further decline in discounts both in Lon
don and Berlin.

prices of bonds. but the market was not

COTTON
New York. Oct 1.-THE cotton market
opened steady at decline of from to IL
points, early cables being disappointing
and early estimates pointing to large re-
ceipts. Later cables were more favor
able and the movement of cotton hardly
justified the early expectations. Buying
became quite general, conspicuously for
Wall street account, and prices moved up
2 to points from the opening. Again the
feeling turned easier and business dragged
in anticipation of the bureau report.
This was responded to by an advance OF
from to 3 points, after which the market
became positively weak under renewed
bear confidence. Prices broke from 1856
for January to 9.75 for that position.
The trading partook of a local character.
Reports from the Southern spot markets
showed a less aggressive demand and
rather more disposition to sell, but no
pressure The run of private crop gossip
was favorable. There was considerable
selling in the afternoon on the idea that
the market had been overbought. The
