New York-Although rates for money
have shown little change this week, the
tone of the market has been somewhat
easier and fears of a stringency seem to
have died out. The indications are that
the height of the demand for currency
for crop-moving purposes has been pass
ed, and with gold flowing to New York
in large volume from both the klondke
and Europe, the outlook appears favora'
BILE for another period of easy money
before long. There has been some dis,
turbance of loans on account of the rise
in rates, but it has been less than in for
mer years, and the effect on the situation
as whole has been inconsequential
The stock market has shown more con-
fdent feeling. Trading throughout the
week has been active and there has been
an important change in sentiment Out
siders appear to be once more coming
into the market. There have been no new
developments in the trade situation. Re
ports indicate that good volume of bust
ness is moving, although it appears to be
mostly for immediate delivery, and there
fore of hand-tomouth character.
Chicago-Most of the commodities spec.
ulatively dealt in on the Board of Trade
show declines since last week. Oats was
an exception, Fridays closing price being
a trifie higher; haxseed is not included in
the general statement, that article being
governed by exceptional circumstances
that have no connection with the grain
markets. The latter ruled extremely
strong, chiefly because of much of this
seasons production having suffered se,i-
GUS deterioration in quality from the
heavy rain that prevailed in the North
west after the grain was cut, thus dimin-
ishing the supply of the speculative
grade. Decline in price of wheat was not
due to any marked change in the general
market surroundings but to the gradual
working out of previously existing condl-
tons. Stocks in commercial hands kept
increasing, and the rate of farmers de-
liveries was not promising for any imme'
date amelioratio1 of that discouragement
to bull speculation
Weather was favorable to an early
movement of new corn, which is ALREADY
being used largely for feeding in the ter
ritory of its growth. Speculation had al
ready been driven out of the deliveries
of corn for this and next month by the
knowledge of a concentration in few
hands of the available contract grade
and the improbability of much OF the new
crop being in condition to fill CONTRACTS
for delivery this side of December. Mar
ket for hog products has been in even
worse condition than that of corn so FAR
as concerned the manipulative tactics Of
the leaders in the trade. Daily fuctua.
tions and general trend of the market
have been largely independent Of the us
nal governing Influences, so that outsid-
ers who mafleAattempts at trading had
to guess blindly at the intentions Of this
or that leader in the speculative market

CRAZY CRIMINALS IN REVOLT.
Attack Keepers at Matteawan Hospi-
tai and Seven Escape.

Attack Keepers at Mattea wan Hospi-
tai and Seven Escape.
One of the most daring escapes in the
annals of New York State occurred at the
Matteawan State hospital for insane
criminals Sunday evening. when large
body of insane criminals made dash for
liberty. With crockery, chairs and such
other missiles as they could lay hands
on, they overpowercd the keepers, took
from them the keys, and, after unlocking
doors, fought their way to the yard, over
powering keepers all along the line. Then
they pulled down a heavy iron door, and,
scaling high wall, endeayored to make
their way to the outside world.
Seven of the madmen succeeded in
making their escape, while the others
were finally repulsed, after being beaten
with clubs while scaling the walls. In
the melee several of the keepers were
injured. two very seriously. The men
who got away are desperate, but the Off
Gals are confident that they will ultimate
-ly catch them.

JOHN SHERMAN DEAD
VETERAN STATESMAN PASSES
AWAY IN WASHINGTON.
Was Seventy-eight Years of Age, and
for Forty-two of Those Years DE
Served the Public in Great Many
High Places.

John Sherman, former Representative
in the House, for long term a member
of the Senate and twice holding cabinet
positions. died at his residence in Wash
ington Monday mQrning, in the 18th year
Of his age. His death had been expect
ed for some days and loving friends gave
him their unremitting care and attention
to the end The immediate cause Of death
was described as brain exhaustion, lncl-
dent to extreme weakness due to old age
and to several attacks of sickness from
which he had suffered for the last year
and a half.
Mr.. Sherman had not been in robust
health for considerably over a year. In
March, 1899, while ON pleasure trip to
the French and Spanish West Indies in
company with a relative, Frank Wiborg,
he suffered severe attack of pneumo-
MIA which almost proved fatal. Ihe snip
on which they were travelling touched at
Santiago, from which place reports came
to the United States that the we'll
known statesman had succumbed to the
disease. He rallied, however, and the
family accepted the offer Of the United
States government to bring him back to
the United States on the cruiser Chicago,
then in the vicinity of Santiago, and he
was safely landed at Fort Monroe and
brought to his home in Washington. Here
he gained strength and was strong
enough by summer time to visit his home
in Ohio.
His remarkable vitality brought him
through relapse, which he suffered dur
ing the heated term, and by autumn he
had again regained much of his strength
and seemed to be in good spirits. he pass
ed last winter at his home in Washing
ton, enjoying fairly good health. The
family went early in the summer to the
old homestead at Mansfield, Ohio. They
were there but a short time when Mrs.
Sherman, whose health had been very
frail, died. This was Il severe blow to
the secretary, from which he never fully
recovered. He remained at Mansfield
until the middle of September, when he
returned to Washington. He was much
broken in health and spirits, but for
time he was able to move about in the
open air and to take short rides around
the city. For the last three weeks or
more, however, he had been confined to
his bed

ing his colleagues. The captain general
ship has hitherto been regarded as a po-
litical position. Gen. Linares, however,
wished complete independence in military
affairs, and selected Gen. Weyler be-
cause he deemed it necessary to have a
man of energy in Madrid to cope with
certain political demonstrations. The
members of the cabinet and a majority of
the press opposed the appointment as
creating a sort of personal government.
Prime Minister Silvela's efforts to keep
the cabinet together having failed, he SUBJ
mitted their designations.

TOWN WHERE ALL ARE HAPPY.

A Pretty Pennsylvania Village Where
Existence Is Perfect Dream.
sSThe most interesting place it has
been my good fortune to visit in
MANY years." said r. M. Gilmore, ON
his return from the East few days
ago, sis the little town of Economy,
Pa. 1t is well worth d long journey to
see, and the people are, the most de-
lightful l have ever met. The founda-
ton of this town dates back to 1905.
1t was settled by a priest, whose name
was Father Rapp, and a number of
Germans. They organized society,
which was called the Harmony So
ciety, and numbered nearly 1000 peo-
Pile at the time. They pledged them
selves never to marry, and since the
town was founded there has only been
one marriage. The society has now
! dwindled to nine persons, but the
town is thickly populated because Of
the advent of other persons, who lease
and operate the factories. The society
owas $500 acres of land, which is in
| a high state of cultivation. Coal, iron
and gas abound. Grapes are raised
in great quantities and are made into
wine of fine quality.
The town is very pretty, with wide
and shady streets, and with houses
covered with vines. They have no
doors, and the only entrance is from
the rear. Economy is exercised on all
sides, and when the society is reduced
to one person he will get the entire
vast estate. People visit the place
from all parts of the world Men and
women live alone and all seem to be
! happy and contented. The present
head of the society is a married man.
He was single when he joined it, but
he afterward left it and was married.
The people recognize him as leader.
and he was invited back and made
their chief. He and his family live in
handsome residence in the center of
the town and have everything heart
could desire. When the old members
die he or his children will get every-
thing, as it is one of the rules of the
society that nothing can be wflled
away. Economy is certainly the gar
den spot Of Pennsylvania Louisville
