and because my son and Mrs.
sGrayson's daughter have shown
themselves SO plainly opposed to
any hint of It."
Mrs. Felix Morrison had gone
off into the back parlor and into
Mysteries, and was laughing and
crying at great rate. Tom had
set Nell down in an easy-chair,
and was rubbing his chin with
his hand as we'll as he could for
a most undignified grin.
''If the young people are op-
posed to it, would it not be bet
ter to wait awhile and gain their
consent?" said Mr.. Morrison,
chokingly.
"No, sir, it would not! They
have been holding secret meet
ings and plotting against US for
days! I do not propose to be
dictated to by two such ships of
children! Here is the license,
sir. We are both of age. Mrs.
Morrison can witness!" roared
the Colonel, testify.
And then, as they stood up,
two figures swooped down upon
them and stood facing them, side
by side, holding each others
hand.
"Well, father" said Tom, Sc
verely, II must say I am scan
dalized. Running away to be
married! And at your time of
life!"
"Tom!" calculated the Colonel,
"Wha'-wha'-
81 would not have thought it of
you, mamma! said Nellie, with
much spirit. "To think of you
doing such thing without say
ing a word to me!
"a pretty thing this will be to
get out! How is young fellow
to get up in the world if his father
runs away and gets married
every time he takes a notion? re-
marked Tom, regarding his
father gloomily.
"And what an example to set
before me! said Miss Nellie,
primly.
Mrs. Grayson had already
sunk into a chair and buried her
face in a handkerchief, and now
the Colonel sank into another one
close by. He felt very weak.
"Now that you both know it,
Tom," he said, feebly, II don't
mind waiting and being married
quietly at home some evening.
If you hadn't shown such deter
mined hostility"
"We'll have the wedding at
home," said Tom, willing to show
a forgiving disposition. "And
while we are about it we will have
a double wedding-you and Mrs.
Grayson, Nell and l."
"You! You two" cried Mrs.
Grayson, emerging from her
handkerchief.
eve two" announced Tom,
airily. "But you did not catch
US running away" He spoke
with a lofty moral tone, at the
same time giving the Reverend
Felix furtive kick.
The Colonel had taken time to
digest the statement, but now he
broke out with a roar of laughter,
slapping his knees.
"You two" he roared. "Great
Scott! Who ever would have
dreamed it? How did you ever
keep it so close?',.
After which Mrs. Grayson and
Nell were forced TO go into the
parlor and give their personal
attention to Mrs. Morrison, who
seemed about to collapse.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Amalgamated cop
ton ftoday's business in the stock mar
ket. For good deal Of the time the
dealings in this stock were larger than
in all others combined. and il comprised
| about one-third Of the aggregate sales
of the day. The days total showed a
considerable shrinkage in the recent
average, and none but negative sig
nificance could be drawn from the day S
market. On this basis OF Interpretation
the market was said to have offered a
good resistance to the days disturbing
factor. From the point Of view Of the
professional trader there was an inclina-
ton to draw the inference that the back
set received by the Amalgamated Copper
company would induce a very conserva-
tive market attitude on the part Of the
Standard Oil property. AS the profes-
sionai element lays great stress upon the
supposed attitude Of the so-called long
interests this inference caused some sen
timental effect, but the professional i'm
preston was somewhat confused in this
regard by the action of Standard OIL
itself on the curb. This stock sold first
at points over the previous close. at
6ss and later at S45, the closing being at
$50 bid
There was a very active market for
AmaIgamated copper at first At the
opening 13, ,o0e shares were thrown on the
market at 35z.q311z. Within the first few
minutes of the trading from 10000 to
4O.ouo shares changed hands. The mani
fest inside support for the stock then
became effective and rallied it a point.
Its fluctuations were constant and fever
ish during the whole of the day, carry
ing it back othe opening low point, thea
completely recovering and closing at
net decline of Is. The decision TO shut
down the companies works in Montana
pending the decision on appeal of the liti-
cations presents a situation whose Sc
riousness to the corporation can hardly
be gainsaid. The principals TO the con
test exchanged bitter recriminations
through publications during the day. But
the impression gained force, nevertheless
that the action of the stock was of
subtle character and the supply of the
selling showed some falling of in conse-
quence The forecast Of the weeks cur
rency movement had a rather depress-
ing effect on the late market, as 1t indi-
Gated a decrease in reserves Of between

however, that this Is mostly accounted
for by the special movement to Baltimore
to relieve the situation there Allowing
for this and for the heavy demand from
New Orleans the western movement of
currency is still Insignificant.
The renewed apprehension over the
far Eastern situation had some effect
TIE closing was quiet and with some small
losses.
There is some antipithy over the rising
of bonds. New York Central bonds broke
to par early in July and was regarded
as sinister development. The price

WAR RUMoRS HEARD

Grain Pits.
OTHER NEWS is BEARISH
Result Was Only a Small Ad-
vance in Prices.

Chicago, Ill. Oct. 23-Rumors of prob
ability Of war between Russia and Japan
circulated quite feely and traders be-
lieved it caused a bullish sentiment. Thhis
feeling was accentuated by the compsra-
lively firm tone of cables in the face of a
decline here yesterday, and December
opened isa4c higher. at 7sA@7s7sc. With
a good demand from elevator interests
and commission houses. the former TAX
ing December and the latter May and on
the strength of outside markets, prices
showed a fair advance early, December
selling up to SUAc. With the exception
of the war talk, the news In general was
bearish, and this caused some selling by
local traders, which resulted in a some
what easier tone, but a recovery soon
followed on covering by shorts and fair
buying by a prominent bull. New York
reported good inquiry for No. red
with irreguars for export. Dealing was
quiet the latter part of the session and
prices fluctuated narrowly. December

cars, one of contract grade, made the
total receipts for the three points 7oS
cars against 6S7 cars last week and 1893
cars year ago.
There was only a little trade in corn,
but prices were firm, due principally to
the continued reports from various places
in the corn cit of disappointing husk-
ings. a loss of from 25 to 80 per cent from
frost being shown In many cases. After
selling between "A and 442sc, December
closed NC higher at 4414c. Local receipts
were 40 cars with 80 of contract grade.
Oats borrow strength from the other

quiet and prices showed little change.

To Overthrow Roosevelt.

A rumor from the national
capital says that President Theo-
dore Roosevelt is fast losing his
hold on members of his own par
ty, and that there is no question
as to who the republican men,
bers of the United States senate
favor for president IL 1904. This
rumor says that, with possibly
one exception, every republican
senator would cast his vote for
Senator Mark Hanna. 1t is re-
ported from reliable sources that
there is an alliance between Sem
ators Hanna and Fairbanks, by
which it is agreed that if when
the national convention meets to
select a candidate Mr.. Hanna de-
sires the nomination all Of Mr..
Fairbanks strength will be given
to him, but if Mr.. Hanna con-
cludes not to enter the race his
strength will be thrown to the
Indiana Senator. Mr.. Roosevelt
is said to know of this combina-
ton, and is trying to meet it, but
his headstrongness stands in his
way, and it is a question if he
will succeed against the willy
methods of Hanna,
