he said To the colored man, come out
from among the white folks and be
free, yet the democrats want the
colored man to vote their ticket. We

Tribute to Frank shepIer.

The dealings Of the Lord with his

ours, and especially when u bright and
promising life is suddenly taken out

learned that b. Frank Sheplcr, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. b. L. Shepler of this

past he has been engaged in business.
In the vigor OF young manhood, not
quite - years of aye. a young man Of
sterling Christian character whose
life was known To be that Of Il follower
Of Christ, IL is especially sad that
such valuable Men are taken out OF Il
world that SO much need them. But
God knows hest, and some day all VIII
be made plain. To his loving parents
and brothers and sisters there is given
most tender sympathy, and all
his friends write in Il Testimony "
gladneSS that ii was their privilege To
know such a young man as Frank
Sheplcr. He is not lost, only gone be-
I fore. Short was his life, but well done
was its service. To all the friends.
and especially those at .Jarvisville, his
family gives hearty thanks FOR the
Kindness shown in this hour VI
bereavement. The funeral services

A DAY IN WALL STREET.
Outsiders Practically Let the Marke
Atoao-Some Influences That
Affected Money.

New YORK, Feb. I0.-There seemed
10 bo complete withdrawal Friday Of
the general interest in the stock market,
which was so conspicuous a factor in
tho active trading of the early days Of
the week. The two days reaction in
prices served to discourage the outside
demand, and orders to commiss
houses fell 70 practically nothing. There
was acontinual dribble OF realizlng sales
all day, aud the bears industrlously
pecked MT the market here and there.
The forecast Of the bank statement,
too, had much to do with the disin-
Chnation TO extend speculative commit
ments. Tho recent movement OF the
funds from the sub-treasury to tho
banks has been reversed and the latter
institutions have lost ON that account
$1o5,000.
The shipments OF money to tho in.
terror have increased over last week
and the receipts have diminished, SO
that the net gain ON that account has
been cut down to little over 81 5000
Allowing for che sub'treasury absorb
tions, the weeks gain in cash will,
therefore, be insiguiiicant. The liqM-
dation or speculative profits IN the stock
exchange during the week may have
relieved somewhat the pressure on the
banks for credits. The call money mar
ket has not shown any increased pres
sure for funds, but the rates for time
money were distinctly flrmer III tono
Friday.
Loans ON exceptional collateral were
made earlier Ia the week at 3ia per cont
for short periods, but the uiuimuia rate
Friday was advanced 10 per cent.

sympathy with The rise in discount

Congress.
TALBERT BECAME WILDLY ANGRY.
Private Pension Ellis Passed. While Pre-
siding officer Ignored Him-solth Caro-
linan Dashed Down the Aisle, Denouno-
Ing the Rulings His Threat Had Effect,

WASHINGTON, Feb 10.-There was
lively scene at last night IS ssession of the
house. which momentarily recalled rhe
stirring and exciting days of the Fifty
fret congress. Friday night of last
week, Mr., Talbert Dem., s. o. blocked
private pension legislation because there
was no quorum present, and threatened
to continue to do SO ;ts every subsequent
Friday night session unless a quorum
were present. His warning had its ef-
feet. There was an unusually lrrge at
tendance when the house was c:.lled to
order last night. Speaker Henderson,
himself, was in the chair, and the gal
leries were crowded. The roll-call
allowed the presence of score or more
OF members in excess Of aquorum. Mr.
Hepburn (Rep., Iu.) was called to pre-.
Elde over the committee Of the whole,
and the clerk read the first bill.
MIR. Talbert arose leisurely, while the
bill was being passed. and addressed the
chair. He was completely ignored.
Another bill was passed, with Mr.. Tai
bert still clamoring for recognition. A
third bill was passed. Mr.. Talbert,
thoroughly angered, started down the
main aisle, shouting: "Mr. Char
man., "Mr. Chairman" as he ap.
proached. He reached the area In
front Of the speakers rostrum, all the
while roaring out his denunciation of
the chairman arbitrary course before
the chairman condescended to recog-
nize him. Democrats all about were
also shouting their dlsapproval. The
Republicans seemed to be enjoying the
storm which the chairman 8 course had
raised
MIR. ralbert rapidly cooled down after
he had been recognized and explained,
In brief speech, that the presence of a
quorum had completely vindicated his
position. He had no feeling against the
men who had served ON the federal
side in the Civil war, but he was op.
posed to loose, reckless, upconstitu-
tional methods. He suggested that the
house set aside "a day each month for
pension legislation and discontinue the
night sessions.
MIR. Sims (Dem., Tonn.), who is in
terested in southern war claims, made
some caustiC remarks III criticism of
the Republican leaders for sidetracking
those Just obligations" of the govern.
ment in favor OF pension bills.

The committee then proceeded with

Before adjournment, Representative

the house to section AL. Revised Stat

is more significant that the decline of
prices for some weeks in bars, plates
and sheets has been checked. Large
orders have been taken for these and
other products, indicating that the
works in need Of business may have
obtained enough for time.
Failures for the week were 245 in the

and 83 in Canada, against 30 last year.
