Those who witnessed the production
of THE Christian" in this city a year
ago, when Effie Ellsler appeared In the
role Of Glory Quayle, say that the
strong drama has lost nothing by the
substitution Of Miss Lila vane. At
the Grand last night she assumed the
character made famous in Hall Gaines
novel. Her acting was superb. At no
time did she fail to raise to the full
strength of the situation. Miss yane's
support can be improved. j. Henry
Kohler, as John Storm, is not the equal
Of Miss Vane. IN his acting there is
too much of the stage. His pronuncia-
ton has the accent of the theater. 1t
Is not natural. In the climaxes he
seems too much the actor and not
enough the priest. Arthur Maitland,
as Horatio Drake, and Harold Hartsell,
as Lord Robert Ure, are first class.
Taken as an entirety, the company
pleased the audience.

Some Interesting Extracts From
Annual Report.

system is the foundation on which
rests the financial prosperity of the
masses of our people and it has made
the wonderful development of modern
times possible.
Inasmuch as Building and Loan AS
soclations are really public corpora
tions, the name should be synonymous
with integrity, solvency and absolute
safety.
The working man of the United
States is now becoming more and
more saving. AS soon as he can he
begins to save. He regards the
Building and Loan Association as the
means of profitable investment, af-
fording security second to none offer
ed by other financial institutions.
1t is with pride that the citizens Of
Akron can point out and emphasize
the fact that an analysis of the sew
eral statements of the liabilities and
resources of our Building and Loan
Associations shown therein will indis-
putably demonstrate that there should
be entire confidence on the part of the
public in their soundness, safety and
stability 1t should be brought clearly
and closely home to the large class
of persons of moderate means, for
whose special benefit these associa-
tions were established; that no other
system of finance can show such bene-
fetal results.
Following is an extract from the
annual report of the State Inspector

very well. and so the drill was short-

Chicago, Sept. 9O.-Continued dullness

day and December corn closed &c lower,
December wheat a shade higher, and De-
cember oats &c lower. Provisions closed
dull day. 1211s to 171za20c down.
Corn had the same dull, heavy market it
has experienced for the last three days,
mainly in consequence of the withdrawal
Of support by prominent bull leaders.
December opened nc lower to &c higher,
at 5s1zG567sc, on somewhat steady ca
bles. AT the start offerings were mod
crate, but these gave way soon under
considerable short covering and the price
for December advanced to 571sc. On
falling off Of the commission house de-
hand shorts and the cessation of the COW
ering NOV ement, December slumped to
06Ac. Toward the end of the session a
renewal Of covering helped December and
closed ssc lower, at $3.50. Receipts were
354 cars.
December wheat opened a shade higher
TO a shade lower at 70Is to 701zc on steady
cables, and advanced with the improving
cables and a fair demand to 7O1zc Corn,

crease in the visible supply. December
eased off to 97z970c. Around this price
it huctuated narrowly for the rest Of
the session and on a small local demand
closed easy, shade higher, at 70l4c. Lo-
cal receipts were 199 cars, four of con-
tract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 1,402 cars, making a total for the
three points of 1,551 cars, against 1,179
