read in the paper that priest had

Another would not attend his religious

church work to Protestants and re-
fused to trade with him, although he
was in business in the parish. An
other concluded there was no charity

from the church, asserting that the
priest objected to pay his house rent

Another was away from his duties be-
cause the Irish bishops had turned
against Parnell and also because an
American bishop had condemned the
Fenians. Another had read in the
daily papers that the Pope was going
to permit the priests to marry. and if
that was so, he was done with the

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
As Reviewed by the House of Prince
 rWhitelV


 As Reviewed by the House of Prince & Whitely.
 New York March 14.-The London market this morning was firm, with prices fractionally higher and private cable quoting the undertone strong with a better outlook. Our market opened strong, the chief trading being in spe- cial issues. Purchases for European &C., count reached probably 15,000 shares. 1 Commission business seemed to be somewhat lighter, and for the greater part of the day the market was ex- 1 tremely dull. The dividend to be declar- ed by the St. Paul directors was await ed with some interest and per cent. for the half year was announced. The strength of the stock indicated the in- creased rate.
 The sale of stocks up to noon amount ed to 395,650 shares. Coal stocks, pend- ing the meeting at Hazleton, remained neglected until near the close, when they improved. The industrials are very quiet, but rather easier in all po- stions.
 The money market is unchanged. Foreign exchange is dull and without change in rates. The Bank of England rate is unchanged.
 In the early afternoon hours the mar ket became somewhat more active, still running. however, in specialties princi- pally Wheat was firm and higher on better cables from Europe. Specula- tion is narrow. Cotton is acting with an improved undertone and it's position warrants further improvement in price, The stock market, on the declaration of a semi annual dividend of per cent on St. Paul, became a trifle easier and was quite active on profit-taking in some groups and fresh buying of the low-priced southwestern and other low priced securities. The sharp upward movement in the coal stocks indicates an amicable arrangement between min- CTS and mine operators.
 The regular quarterly dividend of 1N per cent. on Rhode Island caused a re- cession in that stock of per cent, as there was some talk of an increase. The general close was irregular, but gener- ally firm, particularly so for the coal CTS. The total sales were S61,500 shares.

Grand Opera House.

"The Tide of Life" by Edward Welt gel, was produced before good sized audience at the Grand last evening. The play is built upon melodramatic lines and contains among other stirring scenes, a flying leap by the heroine from bridge to rapidly moving freight train and the death of an evil doer by contact with a live wire in mid-air Perhaps the most popular members of the cast last evening were W. R. Healy and Helen Dale, whose general work and specialties were es pecially appreciated. Frank Dale in the leading masculine role of Dan Gill lette, boss of the river pirates, portrayed his character with considerable skill. May F. Cunard in addition to a pleas ing stage presence, displays a great deal of skill as an actress, and John Bell, Bertha Welby and Lida Richards are also worthy of praise. The rest of the cast is competent. "The Tide of Life will remain at the Grand the balance of the week, with matinee on Saturday.
 Hal Reid, whose productions in the past have met with the greatest popu- larity; his latest creation, "The Night Before Christmas" a charming story of pastoral life, founded upon real life In the little Ohio village where the famous author was born, is said to be his mas terpiece.
