THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Steadiness in Wheat Gives Way to
General Decline.

CHICAGO. Aug 5.-Barring little
steadiness in wheat at the opening. the
range of prices was steadily downward,
and the close practically at bottom fig
ures. The firm start was due to the
slightly higher cables from Liverpool.
the threatening weather in England and
the small Russian stocks. These in
fluences dE not prevent the trade here
from acting on the bearish home condi-
tions. New York reported export sales
of thirty boat loads. Liquidation was
steady all day. aud holders generally
Louis receipts OF wheat were 100000
bushels today, as compared with $4,000
bushels year ago.
Corn broke sharply during the early
part of the session, reacted a good part
of the way on the estimate OF only
twenty-five cars for tomorrow's receipts,
and then again made new low point
on a renewal OF the selling pressure
that was In evidence at the outset. One

600 bushels. or an increase during the
last week of 275.0OO bushels. Primary
receipts 204 900 bushels, against 429, 900
bushels the corresponding day last
year
Oats were easier all around, but the
weakness in the cash grain was the all
important feature. Arrivals here in
creased to 3l6 cars. of which eighty
five were contract. while the estimates
for tomorrow were again lighter, at only
eighty-five cars. The latter fact helped
prices materially, as it induced some
covering by shorts. The weakness in
the cash trade was said to be due to
the under selling in Eastern markets
by cash grain shippers in Ohio and In
diana. There was an increase in the
stocks OF oats east of the Rockies dur

Certain of Alliance.

Tho street is persistent in It's belief
that the alliance between the st. Louis
and San Francisco and the Chicago and
Western Railroads will be followed by
the establishment OF intimate relations
between the two and the Southern Rail-
way system through the medium of the
Georgia Central Railroad, the control Of
which IS held In the interests OF the
Southern Railway.
One thing is certain. that whatever in
terests finally show up in control of the
San Francisco Eastern Illinois combina-
tion. its road east OF the Mississippi to
Birmingham, Ala. will have to be op-
Grated IN harmony with the Southern
Railway and the Louisville and Nash
vile systems. The certainty that this
will be done and the traffic OF tho line
will be increased in consequence ac-
counts for the recent steady absorption

OF oLNET BAPTIST CHURCH
EVILS OF TIL PULPIT THAT ARE UNBEATABLE.

that every such collection is a greai
financial opportunity for the preacher
one detects a deeper motive in the
work, than the casual observer may
see. These collections with their &C
companying evils, have actually run
riot in OIivet Baptist Church. 1t is
almost impossible to attend q service
of any kind at that church, with
out the so-called after collection"
Suspicion naturally follows other
enterprising features Of pastoral
work. Think Of the "rakeon' in a
fsh-fry or chitterling supper, given
by the preacher. What a shake
down" OF candidates for political Of
fee, when a preacher volunteers to
vote the males Of his congregation
for revenue only" What a scope for
graft" when a preacher manages the
sale and purchase OF church property!
What an ambition for easy money"
when a minister tries to bride the
contractor who is building the house
of the Lord Talk about honesty!
Why, the convicts in the penitentiary,
and the devils in hell are honest,
compared with these Rev" thieves.
If you think that Rev. J. F. Thomas
has done nothing to develop this
field, give him the benefit Of the
doubt, but as for myself, l suspect |
that more than one collection has
been held up, and more than one
candidate for public office has cast
a check at his feet. Why cannot a
preacher leave the fake collection"
and other Skin games to be operat-
ID by the sore footed tramp and the
saloon bum? Why can not a minister
cave the shaking down" of canii-
Iates to ward healers and crap
hooters? Why does not a profess
ed christian minister cOpy Christ,
nd not divide honors with tCoacco
sers, whisky drinkers, confidence
len, and all the rest? Why doesn't
preacher who engages in the hold
p" business resign from the pulpit
nd join Harry Tracy, the escaped
1nvict out West? The dividends
sntainly would be larger. II the

PIRATE BUILT A THEATER.
Havana's Most Popular Place of
 Amusement Tainted with Blood.

Chicago Chronicle.
 One of the largest, most popular and most profitable places of amusement. in the world is the Tacon Theater, at Ha- a notorious scoundreI named Marti. who was one of the most biood-thirsty pirates of his day and obtained immunity for himself by betraying his comrades into the hands of the Spanish authorities. One dark and rainy night Martt slipped by the sentry guarding the palace in Ha- yana and entered the apartments of the captain general, who was writing at table. When the captain general raised his eyes and saw the cloaked figure be- fore him. he reached for the bell. Stop. vour excellency' cried the stranger. 'I am here on a desperate enterprise. l have come to deliver into your hands every pirate on the Cuban coast upon one condition, a pardon for myself" You shall have it, was the answer; ''hut who are you?" ''I am Marti. and rely upon the promise you have gwen me-"
 Preparatory to this interview Malc mad appointed a rendezvous for the Nss~-ent bands, to which he conducted sv Span ish fsxce. and every pirate was tured and righteously garroted. As for .aarti, he was not only pardoned, but was given Esonopoly of the sale of fish in Ha- vana. which made him rich and thus an eninently respected citizen, who ended his days in the odor of sanctty. IL will be remembered that another fa- raous buccaneer. the Welshman, Henry Morgan, showed such remarkable mili- tary talent that he was knighted by Charles II. and made Governor of Ja- maica. which he had previously cap turxd
