SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSE. sbs WIFE

s"The idea that a piano must be shrouded in thick felt coverings is all rossense, unless the instrument is to be kept in barn." said a piano tuner Tn furnace-heated house quite other precautions are necessary.
 ''When you start winter fires stand the piano as far as possible from regis ter or stove. Sse that no heater pipe is beneath the piano on under side of the floor nor inside of wall back of the pi- ano.
 Keep growing plants in your piano room, dish of water with a sponge in 1t sitting underneath or back of piano. Wire a jar Of water on your radiator and replemish as water evaporates.
 'fWhen you leave the fires out for the summer stand the plano in the driest part of the room, never near a damp wall, nor near a window or door that is left open in the evenings.
 Remove all growing plants or other means of moisture making from the room. Open the windows nice days and let the sun shine in, but close them on damp and rainy days. If you find the room getting very damp light the gas or a large lamp for a few hours.
 '"In summer the air in your house is always moist, often too much so for the good of your piano. In winter artifi- cially heated air is dry, often too much so for the piano's health. Too much dampness in summer causes the var nish on the plano case to check, or get rough, keys to stick, metal parts to rust, worries to loosen, sounding boards to bulge and the piano to get out of tune. Too much dry air in winter causes the piano action to loosen and click, sounding board to split and rat tie, ribs on sounding board to loosen and buzz and sometimes the piano case to crack. Consequently advise in the piano room equal moisture all the year round, as near as possible. '"As moths are very destructive to the felts and woolens in a piano, begin housecleaning in spring or summer by having a good tuner take the piano apart, cleaning out all the accumulated dust. It is as essential that you keep the inside of your piano clean as it is the closets that you store your woolens in. People who neglect the inside of their piano often wonder why the moths are so bad in their parlor. ."-Chi- cago News.

 The bill introduced by Senator Brad- street repeating the law of two years ago abolishing the office of fire marshal and putting its duties in the hands of the state police, has passed the senate with colors flying. There is no doubt but that it will take the same course in the house. Its approval by the gov- ernor will be equally as certain. The term of the present fire marshal, John A. Rusling of Bridgeport, expires at that time. With the law regulating the appointments replaced where it was two years ago Governor Roberts will have the appointment of fire marshal, sending it to the senate for eonirma- tion. It is believed that MT. Rusling will be reappointed. The salary of the office is s2,5OO and the, deputy receives $1,500.

THE WHITE CITY.
Cregar, the LegIess Wonder, to Ride
 K Down Chutes on Bicycle.

Down Chutes on Bicycle. 5
 One of the most sepsat tional novelties appearing at the largest summer resort of the country this season is Cregar,i the legless marvel, who rides down the
 Shoot the Chutes" on a bicycle. This great novelty has been booked for the White City, and the first appearance will be this afternoon and thereafter
 every afternoon and evening during the
 week. Cregar has not yet tackled any "Chutes''' as steep and long as the one at the White City, which, since the ex- tension at the beginning of the present season, are the longest in the world, with the one exception of those at lDrearnland, Coney Island. The distance Is 271 feet, and Cregar says he will ne- gotiate it with care. He will dash
 down this mountain side of wood at a terrific speed, fully equalling that of the Empire State Express. The plunge. into the lake will be of most sensa- tional character. The rider, despite
 the absence of two-thirds of his under-
 pinning, can swim like a fish, and will himself bring his wheel from the la goon.
 One sensation will follow another, for lDePhilip and West, the Parisian high wire performers, are also on the bill | this week. These wonderful athletes participate, together and singly, in isome of the most remarkable feats
 known to high-wire workers, The high wire is suspended fifty feet over the lagoon, and if they fall the water is their only protection from instant
 death. They do not, however, think of l this. Across the high wire they ride 3 bicycle, first one and then the other, and then together. They ride sitting in the saddle and standing on their heads, | and in almost every conceivable way. | Two great fun-makers will be Billy
 Andrus and his mule Maud in some lside-splitting eccentricities. Billy and
 Maud have never appeared in this sec ton of the country before. They are a great hit with the ladies and children.
 Maud is not like most of her stubborn and high-kicking fellow creatures. She
 has a disposition as sweet as ice cream
 or a sixteen-year-old maiden, if you.
 don't tickle her seventh rib. Billy, aft
 CT a love scene with her, tries this tick
 ling operation, which, to say the least,
 Is hardly fair, and Maud, after giving
 him curtain lecture, gently punctu-
 ates her disapproval by planting her
 rear heels in the dome of Billy's pants.
 Maud does lot of interesting tricks,
 and a hearty reception awaits her, Aga, the Floating Lady" continues l to cause great sensation. .5,ss.

MIR. THOMAS OF LONDON
TELLS OF THE GREAT REVIVAL IN WALES. .

. The Wonderful Success of Evan Rob-
 -erts-Oyer One Hundred Thousand
 COnverts-A Singing RevivaI-spOSe
 Also at Dwight Place Church.
 At the Foy auditorium yesterday aft |ernoon Frederick Thomas, of London, spoke to a public audience on the great Christian awakening in Wales. For four years Evan Roberts prayed that God might raise up a man from among the common people who should be will ing to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God and be used in leading the people of Wales to accept Christ as their Say- for. Last year at this time Evan Rob- erts was working in the coal mines of Wales, but God chose him to be the leader of this movement, which has re- suited in over one hundred thousand people joining the church. Twenty five years ago a preacher predicted that the next revival in Wales would be singing one; and this feature is a prominent one in the present revival. There is very little preaching, but much praise, prayer and testimony. Some lr I times MT. Roberts sits for two hours on the platform without saying word, but the meeting goes right on. It has spread to nearly all the cities and vil- llages and mining camps of the country. and MT. Roberts is confident that the impress of this revival will be felt throughout the world. This Christian life is very real and tells in the lives of those who profess to have it. There is Ivery little work for the magistrates and police, and the saloon business is on the decrease. It is said that the ponies in the mines cannot understand ! the change that has come over their drivers. Instead of coarse treatment the ponies now are treated with much tenderness. ,
 The musical part consisted of solos by Miss. Sprenger and MT. Hyland and two selections by the association male quartette.
 Dean Peck, of Denver, who offered prayer, will speak at the mems meet ling next Sunday afternoon.
 In the evening MT. Thomas gave a similar address at Dwight Place church. His subject at Dwight Place church was '..The Spirit of the Welsh Revival
 and Its Present Developments.

 A icontemplative individual, with some power of observation, was asking about weathercocks.
 .'Why weathercocks? he asked; "most vanes are in the form of arrows, Sometimes they are hands that point with the index finger in the direction toward which the wind is blowing; a running horse is quite popular as a vane.; fish, trsumpets. locomotives and many other forms are used, but ! sell dom if ever see vanes.. except in pie lures, that can with any propriety be called weathercocks."
 I referred the matter by note to our mutual friend, Dr. Detail, and received the following reply:
 The ninth century was a time of ex- treme ignorance mong all countries which now lead in civilization. An au- thentic account of the controversies, political, social and religious, that then occupied Europe, would make a curious and interesting list of reading. In a England, the question of how persons who devoted their lives to religion should wear their hair, and at what particular Sunday they should cele- sbrate Easter, became so bitter that the conversion of that part of the Saxon people who still remained pagars fell into neglect, and even those that had been won from idolatry showed signs of apostotizing.
 At this time, by a papal order, 1t was enacted that the figure of a cock should be set upon churches, in order to put the espeople In mind of Peters de- nial of our Saviour and of His un-- feigned repentance, thus at once ad- nonishing those who would renounce the Saviour and offering forgiveness to the penitent apostle" Success Maga' Zine

Botf, Active and Ex-NIembers Pay Hon-
 or to Memory of Departed Members.
 Yesterday afternoon the annual dec-
 oration day of the Sarsfield Guard was
 observed, and both the active and ex-
 members of this popular organization participated in doing. honor to the
 memory of the departed members of the company. Despite the fact that yesterday was an exceedingly warm day for marching, not only did the &C.,
 tive members turn out with practically
 a full company, but the ex-members attended to the number of about fifty, making splendid showing. The start
 was made from the Second regiment armory on Meadow street. The Second regiment band led the procession, then came the company and after this the veterans, all of. whom marched with the exception of the following four gen. tlemen, who rode in @ carriage: Ex-
 Lieutenants Carberry, Colwell and Duffy, and ex-Sergeant Cook. r~ The line of march was as follows: Meadow street to Church, to Crown, to Park (where a short rest was taken), to Howard avenue, to Columbus ave- hue, to St. Bernards cemetery. A pro- fusion of beautiful flowers was then placed on the graves of all departed
 members, and while this was being |done details in carriages were driven to Evergreen and St. Lawrence cene- teries, where similar services were per- formed. The line of march on leaving the cemetery was as follows: Colum- bus avenue to Howard avenue, to Con-
 gress avenue, to Meadow street, to the armory, where the company was dis missed.
 During the halt on Park street. while en route to the cemetery, the residents of, that street furnished the marchers with plenty of cold drinking water, which was greatly appreciated by the
 men, who wish in this manner to thank the residents for their kindness and lforehought.

world since the hardening of the foreign money markets is directly due to the withdrawals of gold for the benefit of New York.
 The enormous changes in the various items of the Imperial Bank of Germany explained the strong call for the rise in the bank rate. The weeks decrease in cash reacted over S41,000,000 supposed to be from Russian withdrawals, while the loan increase amounted to over $7T000, 600 and the expansion in the note circulation amounted to. over $SS,000,0 900. London was reported to be discussing in consequence the possibility of another rise in the Bank of England rate. Sterling ex- change advanced in this market and yesterdays reactionary tendency in the money rate checked.
 Interest continued in the discussion over the unexplained changes in the Saturday bank statement, which served to strengthen the showing of the banks. The large extent to which these changes were influenced by the congested opera tions of single banks bearing a princi- pal. also in the import movement of gold. was the phase of the subject most dwelt on in current discussion. The clearing house balances of today which rose to $42, ss1, ,O0O, almost double any pre- vlous record except that of last Satur- day, were the outcome of such congested operations, the debit balance at the clear ing house of a single institution today reaching total of $37,661 900.
 NThe governments report on cotton, and the break in the price of that commodity became influences in the later trading. and overcame the depression shown by some of the Southern railroad stocks. owing to the poor reports of August net earnings. Another advance in the price of copper made the metal stocks firm. The announcement of the Erie bond issue and the Wabash controversy were dis cussed with interest, but were without appreciable effect on the stocks con cerned. Covering of shorts in the late dealings by traders who had worked against the market in the morning helped to the more general advance which de- veloped after the Southern railroad group moved upwards. The closing was strong.

CAUSED SENSATIONAL TURN

New York, October 3.-The cotton mar ket was active and excited the feature being October condition report of the government which showed a condition of n2 per cent, against 72.1 per cent last month, 75.s per cent last year, and 66.1 per cent the ten years average, giving a very bearish interpretation, and was by a sensational break In prices. There was only a slight rally on covering toward the close, and final quotations showed a net loss of S6 to 37 points, Sales were estimated at fully S0000O bales.
 The opening was easy at decline of 6 to points in response to disappointing cables. and during the forenoon the mar ket ruled generally easy under liquida- ton and bear pressure, encouraged by weakness in October and expectations of a bearish bureau report. Shortly after the call, prices showed net loss of about 12 to 15 points, and while there was a slight rally toward midday, the gen. eral tone continued unsettled, and fol- lowed the bureau report the loss was rapidly increased. During the afternoon there was a rally from the lowest of about 10 to 10 points on covering, but as the report circulated additional selling orders were received by wire and commission houses, and the lowest point of the day was reached in the late trading, when prices were about 3S to A points net low CT.
