Kind WOrds.--In inclosing us
two dollars to pay on his subscrip
ton our good friend, G. B. Raley, OF
McKeesport, Pa, writes: Il can
scarcely realize that the BEACON has
visited me 104 times since / last
wrote you, yet regularly and silent
ly it has brought me each week the
nesos OF home, noting the joys and sor-
rows, the successes and disappoint-
ments of those / yet consider friends
and neighbors.
II suppose the fioodtide of pros.
perity the country is enjoying is
making the old home county bios
som as the rose" While it is true
our city only recently has emerged
from the throes of a general strike,
yet every mill and factory are now
working full time, and the wage
earners are all getting fair compen-
sation for their services. Our mer-
chants report the finest trade in the
history Of the city. We only have
one complaint-smoke and dirt-but,
smoke and dirt mean business, and
hence we are happy. With kindest
regards, ! am, G. B. BAILEY.

Editors of Beacon The inclem-
ency of the weather Of Monday, jan
uary 18th, last, deprived many per-
sons of the chance to enjoy a most
pleasant evening at the Charlotte
Hall School Entertainment. Those
who braved the elements were well
paid, so they said, for their pains.
The program consisted of short
but lively minstrel show with W. S.
Jarboe, middleman, and VIM. Steffey
and Morgan Anderson on the ends.
The gags" few thick and fast and
created much merriment. Percy
Benson gave a good impersonation
Of How Abe broke up the Meet
lug" The music of this part of the
program was under the capable
management Of Miss jamie Pether-
bridge. Soloists, William Steffey,
Charles Thomas, Charles Bounds
and Charley CAN'T.
Part III, Wanted q Valet" q
black-face farce, added impetus to
the happy spirits set flowing by the
minstrel show. The cast was as
follows:
McGinty, old man dissatisfied with
his servant. G. A, Shreeve.
Dick, his servant, T. Miller.
I. Lewis, applicant, W. Smallwood.
Geo. Washington Congo, applicant
Ii. H. HELEN.
All who took part in this breezy
little piece acquitted themselves with
credit.

 THE STOCK MARKET.

A Rally From Thursday's Depression.
 New York Aug. 22.-To-day's stock mar
 set rallied from yesterdays depression and
 closed at materially higher prices than
 last night, There was consIderable con-
 traction in the volume of the trading and
 it was not until late in the day that the
 disturbance to. sentiment caused by yester-
 days break in prices seemed to be entirely
 oyercom. This was partly due to the evi-
 dence of continued liquidation in Colorado
 Fuel which it was feared was making a
 necessity to unload stocks elsewhere in the
 market. The appearance of support In
 that stock and its rally to more than a
 point over last night was an important
 factor in reassuring sentiment and it's ef- feet was emphasized by the renewed strength in Louisville and Nashville, which
 was supposed to be related in a speculative way to the movement in Colorado Fuel In the late dealings the strength became gen eral and the market broadened out under the immediate influence of ? point rise in Southern Pacific. The explanation of the strength in this stock was not obvious,
 beyond the fact that the speculative leader who has made this stock faVOrite of late years is now due to arrive from Europe. Ontario and Western continued its advance with a rumor that it was being sought by l Canadian Pacific for q connecting link with 1 New York City. thus snpplementing recent rumors of Canadian Pacific's purpose to enter Chicago, which were subsequently de- nied The firmness of Western Union con- | tinued to excite remark and conjecture as l to n possible combination of telegraph in. terestS. When Colorado Fuel made its re- covcry there was a fairly general advance among the independent iron and steel com. panies from which the United States Steel | stocks were conspicuous exceptions, the movement of the latter being restricted to narrow fractions. The grangers Pacifics, Southwesterns quite generally participated
 in the late movement in Southern Pacific The reaction ill the wheat market may have helped thls movement. Yesterdays furry in September corn, while without any bear
 ing on the coming crop, is significant of the
 very small movement of the tag-end of
 last years crop, which has been reflected
 in late returns of gross earnings of raii-
