The Christmas rush of trade is on at

Christmas gifts. The stock is most at

1t was difficult to keep up steam in
the boilers in City Hall yesterday with
soft coal and several of the offices were
cool. 1t has been decided to put on top
Of the chimney 20-foot smokestack so
that the draft will be better. With a
stronger draft it will be easier to keep
up steam.
To handle the large amount of mail
matter from this time until after New

year much more mail than in former
years and all of the reserve clerks will
be rushed into duty.

YALE JUNIOR PROM.
Committee Decides Upon New Plan for
Box Distribution.

Committee Decides Upon New Plan for
Box Distribution.
One of the problems that the Yale
junior promenade committee has always
had to cope with and which has been
met with vary successes has been the
distribution of boxes. This year new
arrangement has been made that those
in charge of the affair say will be a sue
cess.
There will be the regular first sale to
members of the academic Junior and
the Sheffield senior classes at fixed
prices. The rule has been made that
applications must be in at that date to
be announced later. The choice will be
made by lot, the only fayoritism being
shown to large parties, and if the ap-
plicant is not present the choice will go
to the next in order. 1t has also been
decided that the full price of the box
must be paid down. .-,--
After this, in place of the auction sale,
the remaining boxes will be given out
in the same manner as those of the
juniors. BY using this method it is
hoped that the prices of the boxes will
be kept at reasonable price and that
it will be of mutual benefit both to the
committee and the purchaser.

1TcLEAx's MARKET LETTER.

McLEAE'S MARKET LETTER.
New York. Dec. 15-In spite CT all the
besrish news that was circulated in the
Sunday papers the opening prices
proved to be about the low point and
good buying was in evidence from the
start. resulting in quite sharp ad-
vances in many stocks before the
close. 1t seems to US that the fears
frequently expressed that the United
States will become entangled with
Venezuelan controversy are unfounded
and that there is a perfect understand
ing between this country, England
and Germany SO that very little is to
be feared from that source. A great
p deal has been said lately about the low
/ bank reserves, but it can readily be
| seen that the banks are in better p0-
sitiOn than they We're either one or two
| years ago by some two million dollars,
and while the margin is rot large yet
! it shows that conditions are not any
worse than they were on those dates
and rapid recovery by shipments of
d CURRENCY from the interior Looh pldce
other years; therefore, is it not reason
able to suppose that. the same will &C.
cur this year. We feel sure from the
actions of the market to-day, that our
prediction of Saturday, that the turn
Il ing point had been reached will prove
true and that holders of stocks from
this on will have but little reason to
worry as to further developments. Buy

~ Coy Chaplain.
BY CHARLES B. Cassidy

Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Co.
Paul and Philip Payson were cousins
as dissimilar in character as they were
alike in appearance. In features. color
ing and physique they were almost iden-
teal. 1t was only when side by side
that the difference between them became
noticeable. Apart it would have taken
the closest scrutiny to tell which was
which, save for the strict clerical garb
of the one and the ultra fashionable ha-
biliments Of the other. Inc til regi-
ment was the only tie they haa in COM
mon, both being on Col Howgate's staff,
the one as chaplain and the other as pay
master.
Paul was rector of a west end church
and among his small flock was Alice
Southcote, a devout girl, Of sterling quail
tiles, the only daughter of a wealthy
shipowner Paul had always admired this
beautiful creature at a distance. but now
church work brought them frequently
together and Pauls attentions grew
more and more pronounced until on a
glorious June night year later he plead
for and obtained her hand.
During the month following their en-
gagement the Maryland brigade was or
dered into camp near Frederick. Upon
arriving at the grounds it was found
that an insufficient number of tents had
been provided for the staff, and the Rev.
Paul, hoping to exert a beneficial inf1u-
ence over his wayward cousin. insisted
upon Philip sharing his tent.
Philip showed himself respectfully in
different to the interest displayed in his
spiritual welfare and pursued his old
course with answering though polite
persistency. Paul soon became convinced
that as an instrument for his cousins
salvation he was a dismal failure. After
futile struggle he sorrowfully resigned
himself to defeat and then thew got along
swimmingly.
Late in the afternoon on the dav be-
fore camp was struck Rev. Paul went
to his tent to exchange his white duck
uniform for the warmer blue one. In
the uncertain twilight he inadvertently
put on his cousins blouse and sailed
forth to dine with a parishioner who had
rented a country residence near by Fiji
teen minutes later Capt. Payson, perspir-
ing and dusty from regimentaI parade
came in, and throwing off his hot dress
coat and heavy boots, hastily refreshed
himself with a sponge bath and slipped
on his fatigue uniform. Not waiting for
mess, he hurried to the stauon in order
to reach Frederick in time for an en-
gagement, blissfully ignorant that on
each shoulder reposed an embroidered
shepherds crook, the insignia of an army
chaplain.
Arriving in the city Capt. Payson re-
paired to a hotel and ordered supper.
His friends disappointing him. he walked
over to the - club, hoping to meet them
there. He sauntered through the various
rooms without meeting anyone he knew,
winding up at the bar. where he called

Young girls ball frocks should receive

if they had been put together in an aft

is so difficult to get where the necessary
genius is lacking. A fancy white net is
one of the daintiest choices. 1t may be
trimmed with lines of lace sequined with
silver in the most sparing manner, and
completed by a number of net founces
around the hem. The fiOunces should be
finished at intervals round their edges
