In foreign money centers the event of chief i'm portance seems to be the forthcoming Russian loan. It is suspected that some of the large capital fiotations by Amer ican railroads which are to be used in funding large temporary indebtedness will then be not far distant. Except on
 the hypothesis of the future known de-
 mands of some such character, it is diff ficult to explain the present phenomenal f standing of the money market. While the stock market was but little more active to-day than during the dull
 session of last Friday, the tone was strong. This was in accordance with the tenor of the news, which was gen.
 orally favorable to values. The voice
 of traffic officials both east and west

NOT 4 CASE OF MURDER
CORoYER so DECLARES AFTER
 INVESTIGATIoM

Death of East River ResIdent-was Either Suicide or AccidentaI-OnIy One Pistol shot Wound in Body- Housekeeper Released from Custody -FaneraI Held Yesterday Afternoon. Coroner Mix stated last evening that he had completed his investigations concerning the death. of Anton Mayer, forty years old, baker, who lived in the heart of East River village on a road leading to wildwood" the sum- mer home of John Glenny of Buffalo, N. Y. Strange stories were in circu- lation in East River and Madison, and many believed that Mayer was the vic tim of four play. Coroner Mix, who fin- ished an investigation yesterday says that this is not so, that the man either committed suicide or else his death was accidental. The coroner also says that the statement that there was two gunshot wounds in the body is not so, and that there is only one which was the cause of death.
 As a result of the investigation Mrs. Kurz, who had been a housekeeper for Mayor, and who was held at the house in custody of Deputy Sheriff Henry Nealy on suspicion of having caused Mayors death, was released yesterday afternoon.
 Mayer was found dying in his house at Il o'clock last Wednesday night by neighbors. Mrs. Kurz, the housekeep- CT, summoned members of families named Knowlson and Lambertson and told them that Mayer had shot himself When the neighbors arrived the man was lying grooming on the floor with a revolver close by. He asked for some water, but so far as can be learned made no statement Dr. R. B. West and Dr. H. w. Murless of Guilford were called, but it is stated that Mayer was dead when they arrived.
 It is understood that a permit was issued for the burial of Mayer when some SLOrleS WHICH Were going around led to an investigation, and the sum lnoning of the coroner last Friday. New Haven physician went and per. formed an autopsy on the body, and Coroner Mix after an examination oi the woman ordered her placed under surveillance. Mayer was shot in the left side and the bullet evidently pene. trated the heart or so near as to cause heinorrhage.
 After the completion of the investi- gation permission was given to hol6 the funeral of Mayer yesterday after noon.
 It was learned that Mayer was for merly a New York saloonkeeper and that some time ago he purchased his home at East River and came here tc live, obtaining employment in Clinton
 It was claimed that he had made a will leaving considerable sum of money to Mrs. Kurz. in case of his death, and it was believed prior to the investigation that, this might have of fered an inducement for his murder.

A STORY oF THE sTREET.
It Concerns a Tamborine Girl {
 Blind Man and a Cynical

Bystander.
 The two worthy young women with yellow handkerchiefs twisted about their heads started their automatic piano playing a lively tune on block of populous fathouses on the upper East Side. Then they began tossing tambourines at each other, spinning them on their fingers and jingling and banging them in time with the music.
 About 800 children gathered in a minute with a strong background of grown-ups, and heads in all stages of dishevelment appeared in five tiers of windows. Some of the children began dancing and others sang the popular air that the piano ground out
 Then along came an old man. His beard was struggling and gray. He wore battered tall hat, and his poor old overcoat was buttoned tip to his chin In one hand was bundle of cheap pencils; in the other the walk ing stick with which he tapped his way along the sidewalk, for two sightless eyes stared out of the furrowed face. The old man seemed fascinated by the music. He stood by the curbstone drinking it in A childish smile spread over his features. The people stopped watching the tambourine girls and the dancing children to enjoy his enjoy ment.
 Then one of the girls started to take up thesusual collection. The crowd was not oyerliberal. When she had made, a, somewhat perfunctory round there was perhaps 20 cents in the tambourine.
 Holding it before her in dramatic pose she marched up to the old man. Standing before him she dived into the capacious pocket of her skirt and hand- ed out little handful of coins dime, a nicked and 15 or 20 cents This she chucked into the tambourine in addi- tion to what she had collected.
 Take this, old man." she said.
 She took his withered hand, while he tucked his stick under his arm, and she poured into it the contents of the tambourine, picking up for him cent or two which the old man dropped as he transferred the money to the pock- of his coat Then she turned away.
 sHi!'' exclaimed man who watched the scene. Come here" 3#& GHe SCeppeu# over ftO5 HlfU ana ne QrOp- ped quarter into the tambourine. This started the crowd, and for a couple of minutes it rained small change from the windows.
 When the whole harvest was in, to the astonishment of every one, the wo. man again went to the old man and, holding his pocket open, spilled the en- tire collection into it Then she and her companion hitched themselves to their hurdy gurdy and started with their us- ual stride in an easterly direction, some of the children trailing after them. The old man went on, tap-tapping his way toward the west.
 I wonder if that's a new game, asked the plainclcthes man who had watched the scene. If so, it's better graft than the kids dancing for the organ grinder and sharing the win nings.'
 .Oh, don't know" said the other man. T think it was all right. I watch ed the girls face. She didn't cry, byAt she wanted to. .'The Sun.

only Lnnguid Interest After a Triple
 Holiday.

Holiday.
 New York, Dec. 27.-The stock ex- change resumed business to-day, after the triple holiday, with only a languid interest and the day's market was q nominal affair. This was in accord- ance with expectation, and the same state of affairs is expected to endure through the holiday week. Interested eonjecture centers- almost entirely on the future beyond the current week. The tightness of the money market, which is usually feature of the clos ing week of the year, is entirely lacking at the present time, and the rates for time money to-day worked appreciably lower. This condition in the money market is without doubt partly due to the extremely quiet speculation in stocks. There are besides some coming requirements beyond the end of the year which probably have to do with the desire to maintain quiet conditions

Fashions FancIes.

The hatless fad which has prevailed for
some summers shows absolutely no sign
of a waning popularity, and where the
summer belle form erly purchased many
hats she now buys sunshades and para
soils.
Fagotted bands, which are not the
height Of fashion, but are by no means
passe, help out short dress length. A
plain five-gored skirt, the cores Joined
with fagotting, is trimmed with three
bands above the hem, each one divided
by row of fagotting. The waist has a
fancy yoke and collar of fagotted bands.
There is every indication that the
basque bodice will be the next thing
worn. The pointed crush girdles were
the first indication, for they certainly gave
the blouse waist a basque effect. and their
popularity proved that women welcomed
the change. Many Of the fitted jackets
and Etons are practically basques, and in
some Of the newest gowns the jacket Is
not meant to be removed, but is worn
over a guimpe or tucker Of thin ma
terial.
Grenadine is great deal worn as a
summer material and it is prettily figured
and trimmed with bands Of taffeta, velvet
and lace. Or there will be ruffles Of gren-
adine set around the foot of the gown and
these will be light. fluffy ruffles calculated
to bestow witching grace upon the
young woman who wears them.
All sorts Of trimmings are used for the
open balloon sleeves and one can not pre-
dict what will come next. The Paris fancy
is for white sleeve ruffles and the most
chic Of the French women rejoice in at
least six, which are so set in the sleeve
that they puff 1t out and make it one OF
the most attractive parts Of the gown.

A Missionary in North Carolina Proves
to Be the Long-Sought Niece of the
Late South African Millionaire, and
She Plans to Spend Her Millions in
Missionary Work.

II shall spend all Of the money for mis-
sions," said Mrs. Mary Virginia Rhodes
Baker, niece Of the late Cecil Rhodes,
900, 900.
Mrs. Baker and her husband were en-
gagged in missionary work in the noun
tains of North Carolina, and they made
their home in the little village Of Way
cross until Mr.. Baker was killed about a
year ago. With her husband, Mrs. Baker
has travelled east and west, preaching the
gospel, and about a month ago the old
restless spirit sent her forth in an old
wagon. Driving two broken-down steeds,
she started thru the mountains. She was
holding an open air meeting, singing,
praying and eXhorting the negroes and
poor whites, and as she passed thru the
congregation she met woman from Way
cross.

GOBELIN SECRET HAS BEEN FOUND
New Dyes Rivaling Those of the Old
French Artists Have Been Discov-
cred by a Philadelphia Woman,
Who Also Learned How to Give
Wool a Luster Like That of Silk.

A Philadelphia woman Miss Charlotte
Pendleton, has discovered the secret Of
the famous Gobelin dyes. The method Of
obtaining the beautiful colors found in the
Gobelin tapestries was brought from the
Orient and died with the Gobelin broth
ers. Others have claimed to possess the
knowledge, but comparison of their dyes
with those of the tapestries proved how
false their claim was.
The question Of color Is an important
one, and the ability to obtain the pure,
clear tones is a treasure to the possess
sor. It was only recently that the Shah
Of Persia decreed that no aniline dyes
should be used in Persia as substitutes for
the old vegetable coloring, the making Of
which is a valued secret, and, as he cut
off the hand Of the first man who broke
his law, there have not been many Of
tenders since.
Miss Pendleton has been interested, in
experimental dyeing for years and she can
not understand why other women who
must earn a living do not take UP the
work. Two years ago she visited the dye
shops Of France, but altho she went thru
merely as a, tourist, she saw much more
than the average tourist and came home
with brain teeming with ideas. Again
she began to experiment, and she went to
the home Of her brother at Montpelier,
near Washington, where every president
from Washington to Lincoln has been en-
tertained. An old hennery was turned
into laboratory and here she worked
eight hours day. So absorbed was she
