THE STOCK MARKET.
Recovery of Prices Comes With Furious
 Buying Movement.

New York, Sept. 3O.-The losses sus- tained in prices of stocks yesterday, which reached practically panic pro- portions, were more than recovered to- day. There were traces of feverishness after the spasmodic recovery at the opening to-day, but as the day proceed ed the trading settled down into 8 growing buying movement, which be- came furiously active in the final deal ings and made the closing exceedingly buoyant The measures of relief to the money market offered by the secretary of the treasury were the primary cause of the sudden reversal of sentiment, but rumors of a settlement of the coal strike added materially to the buoyant feeling at the close, the coalers taking the lead of the excitedly rising mar ket.
 The money market showed none of the excessive stringency of yesterday but rates for call loans went as high as 19 per cent. in the forenoon in spite of the relief at hand, Preparations for the October 1 disbursements were a complicating factor. But during the afternoon the forces of relief began to make an impression upon the market Call loan rates fell away rapidly. It has been persistently maintained that the stringency of the money market was the only cloud upon the speculative horizon and the only drawback to the upward course of prices of securities It was but natural, therefore, that the news of the measures proposed by the secretary of the treasury for the release of surplus government funds to the money market should have quickly checked the demoralized sentiment of yesterday. The remission of the re- quirement upon national banks to maintain their 25 per cent cash reserve against government deposits promises to afford upwards of $30000,000 of bank reserves for other purposes, or to fol- low the argument of the secretary of the treasury, to permit additional cred it's to the amount of four times the cash reserves thus made available. This would equal $13OO00,0O0 of additional credits fer the country at large Gov ernment deposits in New York banks amount to about $41, SOC, ,O0O which would also be the amount of the addi tional credits immediately available to the New York market. That is to say. over S1O,00000O of New York banks cash is released from the reserve re- quirement. There was no mistaking

HEBREW HOLIDAYS.
New Years Day of Atonement and
 Feast of Tabernacles.

Feast of Tabernacles.
 In the present month are contained the principal Hebrew holidays of the year. Thursday, October ?. is New Years day; Saturday. October Il, is to be observed as the day of atonement. and beginning with Thursday, October 16, the feast of tabernacles will be cel- ebrated, to continue eight days.
 According to the Hebrew calendar, October is the first day of the first month called "Tishri' beginning the year 5,6633. The day will be appropri- ately observed by all Israelites. Spe- cial services are to be held in all taber- nacles, and in the Hebrew homes of the city there will be great rejoicing. Pres ents and letters of congratulation will be exchanged and the greater part of the day will be given up to paying calls and pleasure seeking.
 The day of Atonement, nine days lat er is quite the opposite in the nature of it's observance. While not forgotten the rejoicing will be subdued nnder a cloud of grief, as it were, while the devout Hebrew reflects on the short con1ings of the past and makes sincere atonement for sin.
 The Hebrew feast of tabernacles is celebrated at the close of the agricul- tural year as thanksgiving for the produce of the seasons, but especially for the vintage and olive harvests. It is described in the old law of Exodus xiii, 16, under the name of 'The feast of ingathering at the end of the year. (which, in the old Hebrew calendar, ran from autumn to autumn), when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field" The same feast is spoken of in Deuteronomy xvi, 13, as The feast of booths,' whence the present name "tabernacles' is derived.
 No explanation is given in Deuteron- omy of the name feast of booths" but after the exile of the Jews it is under stood that during this feast the people assembled themselves in Jerusalem, there to live in booths constructed of branches of trees. According to the law the booths were to be a memorial of the wilderness wandering, but of this there is no hint in Deuteronomy. While 1t is quite in the style of the lat ter law to attach new historical ref erence to an old name like feast of booths" yet it is certain from Exodus that the feast had originally agricul- tural and not historical significance. As such it is exactly similar to the vintage feasts of other nations.
 The last. day of the feast is consid- cred the greatest and is made a, special holiday.-Brooklyn Eagle.

the stimulating effect of this possibility upon speculative sentiment.
 The extent Of the effect of the other measures proposed by the secretary was considered more open to question. The action Of the late market raises some question as to the exclusive part played by. the money stringency in the stock market depression. The sudden response to the expectation of a coal strike settlement indicates that the bad effects of that struggle upon industry in general had a material influence up on the values of securities. Measuring intimatlons that the Louisville and Nashville settlement was progressing also helped to restore confidence.

4 DollY's Day.

Lotta's dol.ies, Belle and Violet, sat
on the sofa facing one another. Lotta
had gone to sleep, forgetting to put her
babies to bed, and now every one
was safe in Dreamland and the dollies
could talk.
"Oh, dear, how tired l feel" said
Belle, yawning. What a lot of things
l did to-day"
did you?" said Violet "I've been
in bed till supper time with head
ache. Tell me what happened to you" ;"
well, let me see," Belle said, with
tired smile. First was sick and
couldn't get up, and Lolita fused over
me and sent for Doctor Tommy. He
looked wise and gave me all sorts of
queer medicines. 1 didn't mind them,
for Lotta took them all for me. Then
the doctor decided my leg was broken,
and he had to cut it off-make believe

there was over that Leg"
when Lotta got tired of that, she
thought that l ought to marry that
cross old china soldier on the mantel-
piece. He is such a stiff fellow, and l

frowning so all the time. 1 don't
think he was ever married before,
while 1 have been married great
many times and to different person
every time. After that we kept house
under the piano, and had all sorts
of troubles, squabbles, fires and every
thing. l think we ended UP with an

light in the New York Geological Park,
in the Bronx.
All night the six watchmen had been
patrolling the dens, yards and cages
ready to rescue any of the animals
overcome by the snow, but the big
snowstorm demonstrated, that the ami
mails are better able to take care of
themselves than the watchmen are.
When daylight crept through the
park and the wild creatures realized
the depth of snow the rejoicing among
them amounted TO riot. The wolves
howled till they were heard at Ire
mont, a mile away.
There was a six-foot drift in the
den Of the Alaskan bears, and they
discovered a way to climb up on the
hill! and jump down into the drift.
They went out of sight every time
and came fioundering out as white as
flour. One jumped on another's head,
and then there was fight in the snow
that looked like a Canadian Pacific
rotary snow plough in full action.
When the watchmen went around to
the buffalo range the great beasts
were not in sight. Instantly there was
excitement. Out in the field were a
series Of little mounds of snow. The
buffaloes must have frozen!
But when a watchnian had climbed
into the yard and had carelesly kick
ed into one of the piles of snow he
came to the sudden realization that tas
animals were very much alive.

Come TO Us for Cars.

The coal miners of New South
Wales have been suffering from the
same trouble as our own, the short
supply of cars at the mines and the
delay in transporting coal to cosum-

is only one party to blame, the rail-
roads being owned by the state; and
the responsible minister has been
hoinbarded with complaints according

OIL WELLS AND EARTHQUAKES.
A Suggestion Tint the Disturbances May
30 Caused by Letting Out Gas.

A Suggestion Tint the Disturbances May
30 Caused by Letting Ont Gas.
One of the most disastrous earth
quakes Of recent times is that report
ed from Russia Transcaucasia. The
town Of Shamaka has been practically
destroyed, only a dozen houses being
left standing, while population of
$4,000 has been rendered homeless.
The number of fatalities is as yet I'M
known. Perhaps it never vii be cor.
rectly determined, for the flssured
earth swallowed up some of the vic
Tins, and others are buried in ruins
where they never may be disturbed.
Over 800 bodies had been recovered at
the latest accounts.
To the student of seismic phenomena
the interesting and suggestive feature
in the Shamaka earthquake is that 1t
has occurred in the neighborhood of
tho Baku oil district-the G.ost nro'
ductiye feldin the world, not except-
ing that of Beaumont, in Texas. 1t is.
furthermore, a section of the world
which has hitherto been exempt from
these phenomena. The scientific in
qujrer will naturally search for a
cause, for cause and effect go together
in the scientific analysis of all phe-
nomena. AS the great natural oil res
ervoir tapped by the oil wells of Baku,
on the shores of the Caspian sea, locat-
ed under the site of Shamaka, and has
the tremendous drain Of mineral oil
from the same caused void and
subsequent shrinkage in the earth's
crust in that neighborhood? The in
quiry is not far-fetched. 1t is usually
assumed that water takes the place Of
the oil withdrawn from the measures,
filling the vacuum created by the lat
ter's withdrawal but if the water, be-
ing more tenuous, should find an inde-
pendent vent elsewhere, the vacuum
created by the draining of the mineral
oil would remain, and shrinkage of
the unsupported crust of the earth
would naturally follow 81 )ner or later.
It. has been suggested that the tap
ping of the oil measures in the south
ern part of this state has relieved the
mineral oil-bearing formations from
the pressure of the gas created in them,
and the possible subterranean gas cX-
plosions produced by excessive press
ure, and thus removed one of the sup
posed causes of earthquakes in that
section. There may be nothing in the
theory, but it has been observed that
the Los Angeles district has been not
ably exempt from seismic disturbances
since the oil measures were tapped and
vent given to the gases generated in
them. Likewise, the theory that the
Shamaka earthquake was due to the
drain on the petroleum reservoirs in
the Caucasus by the Baku wells may
be entirely at fault. But the two phe-
nomena seem to invite the attention of
the scientist, and open new field for
the study of seismic disturbances

admitted bitter enmity toward the
prisoner whose liberty he had meant
to swear away, though called in his
behalf, and wound up by not only
swearing, that ,yinter was model

81 felt the ground slipping from
uIder me, but the dramatic climax was
yet to come. From an open door into
one of the small adjacent rooms hur-
1ed an excited man with striking feat
ures and blazing eyes. He rushed to
the prisoner, embracing him as a IA
ther might have done, and then de-
manded, rather than requested, that
his evidence might be taken. 1t was
to the effect that he had been a cap
tain in the Mexican war, that Winter,
then a mere boy, was a drummer
whom the captain loved as father;
that when he was shot from his horse
in charge, the boy gallantly fought
back tie murderous Mexicans till
stronger assistance could come, and
that there he had received the wound
which left such CHASTITY scar. The
impetuous witness even got in state
ment that there must be some vile
conspiracy against Winter and wanted
to confront the private detective. But
he had disappeared. The jury ac-
Quilted without retiring, and thought
their verdict righteous one.

to the stage, 1 saw my hero Of the

ognition, and later went with me to
the hotel. There, under pledge of se-
crecy, he gave me the inside facts of
that mysterious trial.
The alleged mother, the alleged de-
tective, the alleged captain, the Grip
pie and Winter were all members of
a shrewd gang Of crooks operating in
the east. Winter had committed the
robbery and his pals had put up an
elaborate scheme which saved him.
They enjoyed many a laugh over the
manner in which they had done the
'Rubes' up in my country. Winter
was then doing life sentence. The
mother was dead, the detective fed
from the country and the cripple went
with him. The captain was one Of
the best ventriloquists Of the day, and
had become professor who made an
honest living. 1t was his voice,
thrown at will, that left us simple
folks thinking that we had encoun-
tered the supernatural. "-Waverly

Mrs. Betty has Mildred to thank, for
otherwise she might have lost good

On this particular day she heard Mil

voice had a remarkable effect upon
her; she turned her head and gazed
at her visitor with a pleased express

she had an ear for music; the much

had refused to yield in any but the

girls and teachers had gathered in the
cow shed to wonder at the result.
