Ne,r York STOCKS.

Wall ST., New York, Dec. 6.-STOCKS-
The opening of the stock market today
was very irregular. In the railroad list
the gains were found generally amongst
the coalers and eastern railroads and the
declines amongst the western railroads
Erie first preferred and Ontario and West
ern rose point and Lackawanna jumped
"a points on the sale of a hundred shares:
lndustrials and specialtieS showed mixed
changes and very erratic movements. u
S. Leather advanced IL points. while the
preferred opened down points with raj
~ of points. United States Steel opened
off a quarter and then recovered it, while
the preferred opened unchanged, rose a
quarter and then ran off nearly point:
Rubber Goods gained 12s points, General
Electric III points and Cotton Oil prefer
red 2ss points. Amalgamated Copper open
ed off a h point and then held down an
extreme IL points on running sales
Selling orders were distributed through
out the list, but the resultant declines
were small outside of a few stocks in
which special considerations figured. An
active demand for the Fries combined
with the rally of a point in Amalgamated
Copper strengthened the market later and
the standard stocks recovered to yester-
days close. Erie moved up to Al and the
first preferred rose 17s points. Prices We're
easing off again at II o'clock, led by Peo-
pies Gas, which yielded a point. Pitts
burg, c. c. and ST. Louis preferred gain
ed H. points. Brunswick Ia points and
Hide and Leather preferred 13s points.

Miss Wfnnifred Burke acknowledge
in "EVeryman."

To ensure q perfect production, no
expense has been spared. The special
scenery is from the studio of the fam
Gus scenic artist Gabriel Pollock. The
costumes and properties, designed from
drawings in the British museum, are
a feature of this production-the most
complete ever given this remarkable
play.
The character of "Everyman'' repre-
sents humanity in general. The story
of the play is simple but strong. The
Deity after telling how the privileges
He gave mankind have been abused,
calls upon Death to summon Every
man to appear before His tribunal
without delay, and to bring his book
of reckoning. The full meaning of this
unexpected command terrifies Every
man, and the knowledge that his book
of reckoning is almost devoid of good
deeds, adds to his terror. He begs
of Death to grant him time, so that his
book of reckoning may be made clear,
but that Is CURLY refused. He then
offers him gold if the matter be defer
red for another day, and is again re-
fused any respite. Convinced that he
must obey the summons, yet dreading
to make the fearsome journey alone,
Everyman calls upon his relatives and
friends to accompany him and help
him make his reckoning clear before
God. He first summons Fellowship,
then Kindred, Cousin Goods and
Riches, Five Wits, Strength, Beauty,
etc. At first, they all readily promise
their help and comfort and swear to
stand by him in any distress; but on
realizing what is expected of them, be-
come greatly alarmed and all flee from
him. knowledge comes to his aid and
shows him how Good Deeds, who lies
weak from neglect, may be restored
and made able and ready to walk by
his side. Everyman repents and con-
fesses his sins, and upon receiving the
holy sacrament and ointment, Good
Deeds becomes strong and accompanies
him on his long journey.
The forceful and simple moral can
readily be seen in the sad death of Ev-
eryman, forsaken by all his kith and
kin: alone, except for his Good Deeds
and an angel who awaits to carry his
soul to Heaven.

in the Chadwick homestead Loeser
has also secured a temporary injunc-
ton against Henry Wuerst of Elyria,
who is said to hold as security for
loans a large quantity of Mrs. Chad
wick'S jewels. Reports vary as to the
value of the jewelrye in question. One
report places the worth at $500
while another says it is only 100000.
Wuerst himself refuses to discuss the
matter.
Immediately upon qualifying as re-
ceiver for Mrs. Chadwick. Mr.. Loeser
issued official notice to Mrs. Chadwick
of the same, reciting that involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings had been filed
against her. Under the law Mrs. Chad
wick has twenty days in which to
make reply and at the expiration of
that time can demand a hearing be-
fore jury. The jury will decide
whether or not Mrs. Chadwick is a
bankrupt or VIII ether she has commit
ted an act of bankruptcy rs alleged.
Receiver Loeser admitted today that
thus far the tangible assets of Mrs.
Chadwick which have come into his
possession are comparatively of small
value. Great interest is manifested
here today in the possible result of the
trip of Receiver Lyons of the Citizens
National bank of Oberlin. Mr. Lyons
carried with him the two notes for
$25O,00O and 100000 respectively to
which Andrew Carnegies name is
signed. Mr.. Lyons went to New York
with the determined purpose of per-
sonally interviewing Andrew Carnegie
in order to obtain from the latter's
lips the truth concerning the signature
to the notes. Government officials
while declining to talk. do admit that
the next important step in the case
depends upon what Mr.. Lyons learns
in New York today.
