STOCK MARKET.

Dead Level of DuIIness Not Relieved by
 Any Noticeable Incident.
 New York, June 1.-The dead level of dullness in to-day's stock market was not relieved by any noticeable in-, cident of interest. The professional traders tried during the morning to extend yesterdays decline. They suc- ceeded in wiping out the opening ad- vances which had been made in sym pathy with the firmer tone of the Lon- don market, but at that point the market again became narrow. It was seen that the immediate selling require ments had been met in yesterdays market, and traders tIlereupon worked for an advance. As they had the mar ket to themselves they met with some success. Yesterdays market was &C., cepted as a demonstration that no new interest in stocks is to be looked for as a result of the peace prospects or of the Equitable Life settlement. Devel- opments regarding those subjects were therefore followed with rather languid interest. Weather conditions were re- ported favorable to-day for the crops, but the stock market is not yet ready to respond to the day-to-day develop ments in the crop situation. The stocks which showed any appreciable move- ment to-day were those which are read jest to respond to an impulse in any direction owing to the remnant ofe pro- fessional speculative interest retained in them. Dormant stock market pools are thought to exist in one or two of these. Canadian Pacific was responsive to such conditions. Reading had some help from the favorable conditions re- ported in the antharcite trade. Old ru- mors once more found circulation of mysterious developments to come re- garding Union Pacific. The New York Central's statement of net earnings for the June quarter, partly estimated was received with satisfaction, the balance available for dividends showing an in crease of over 36 per cent. over that or the corresponding quarter of last year. The collapse in Steel Foundries, preferred, was of little effect. The in cident was regarded as the outcome of an ill-judged speculation based on un- founded hopes of dividend disburse- ments and aggravated by pressure by the lenders of the money which had been used in therspeculation The dull advances of the day were well main- tained, and the closing was fairly steady.
 The strength and activity of the Jap anese 1-2s made the feature of the bond market, which was otherwise dull and irregular Total sales, par value, s, ,290, 900.

perils involved in serving with the army in South Manchuria. At that time railway tickets were given only to such persons as had authority to travel by rail. Still, Smolka was un- Haunted, and she resolved to reach LiO-Yang at all costs. So she slipped into a cattle truck. and in that way she reached the headquarters of the army, where she met many former comrades. Thanks to their aid, she managed to get enrolled in the scout ing detachment of the 2d Cossack Regiment, of Nerchinsk, under Lieu tenant Vichniakoff. and once more she was able to bestride her charger. She accompanied the detachment when it was sent out to reconnOitre the out skirts of the town of Kuan-Gen-Sian. Again, owing to her knowledge both of the Chinese language and of Chin ese customs, she was able to find out ing ood time the approach of con- siderable body of Japanese and to warn her comrades thereof, with re- suit that the detachment had to de- lfend itself while rejoining the main body. After that expedition report of the affair was drawn up and hand led to General R, and this led to smoika being enrolled in the 2d Regi- ment of Nerchinsk as a volunteer in- terperter under the name of Michel !Nicolaievitch Smolka. Thenceforward she took part in many dangerous pieces of scouting. but she was wound- ed only once slightly in the foot
 During all the time that she has been in active service Smolka has shared the privations and hardships of her comrades in arms. She used to go to sleep without taking off her lclothes; wearing the same uniforms as her comrades, she rode her horse like a man; she ate her rations with the rest, standing around the Cos sacks huge kettle; she sang their soldiers songs with them; she wrote letters for those who were unable to write them, and all she asked was that they should treat her as if she were a a man. But the young and in- ,trepid Smolka, in spite of all her seri- ousness, has been unable to prevent cer- tain of her comrades, and even some lof her superior officers, from seeing in her a charming woman. However, the majority of the officers treated her with the greatest respect. The Cossack and the ordinary soldiers were very fond of her, and they used to call her "Makaile Nikolaivitch." In short, she became quite accustomed to her posi- tion, and sometimes she forgot even that she was a woman. Smolka has arrived at Harbin to look after some business connected with her regiment, and she has shown a very practical business spirit in dealing with it. She had to make some important purchases As she possesses no female attire, she has been the butt of certain ladies at Harbin. However, she pays no atten- tion to their remarks. Quite recently she appeared at the theatre at liar bin. She was wearing her ordinary uni- form. During one of the intervals Smolka walked deliberately into the ladies retiring room, and, of course. Ithe presence of soldier caused great deal of of bother, for the ladies took the young Amazon to be an of flcer.

The stoc, market was a very dull and tame affair yesterday, but prices ruled strong.
 In the first fifteen minutes of busi- ness only twenty-three stocks figured in the sales, and the transactions in the first hour reached only 71.OOO shares.
 Speculative interests were averse to doing anything o naccount of the mar rOwness of fluctuations and difficulty of making even fractional turn and clearing enough to pay the transfer tax
 Financial interests do not favor &C., tiVity pending further developments in the Equitable Life affair, clearer un- derstanding as to the prospects of peace between Russia and Japan, and better indication than at present ob- tainabIe in regard to the yield of the growing crops.
 The strength of Canadian Pacific was due to buying by Moore & Schley, who took several thousand shares.
 Boston firms were reported as among the largest buyers of stocks yesterday, these transactions being set down as short covering. The street was quick to assume that the bear campaign was over for the moment.
 H. Content was the principal early seller of Metropolitan and was respon sible for the decline. On the way down the specialists thought there was buy ing by Ryan brokers.
 The continued downfall of Steel Foundries shares was popularly attrib- uted to the pool, which has met with small success in disposing of its busi- ness, according to current gossip. Div idends are not looked for.
 Steel Foundries is now down over 30 points from the April high.
 The winter wheat crop along the Atehison lines is now safe. The grst car of new wheat was reported to have reached St. Louis yesterday.
 Reports from Pfttsburg were that, with the Bethlehem Steel company and some smaller steel concerns as nucle- us, MT. Schwab is preparing for the or ganization of a great new combination which will be an important competitor of the United States Steel corporation.
 United States Steel came more into favor. There was an improvement in the, character of the advices received by private wires from Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
 The regular quarterly dividend of 1A per cent. was declared on New York Central, payable July 15.
 As for the Equitable matter, the new chairman's announcement, after yes- terday's meeting, merely went to show that nothing is likely to be cleared up until after the insurance department has reported. This is not conducive to financial enthusiasm.
 The present attitude of the specula- tive community would indicate a belief that the dullness has come to stay un- til some stimulus is found to lift the market out of its rut

A RUSSIAN AMAZON.

Tn Male Attire She Forgets She Is .. Woman.
 The attention of the crowd of peo- pie thronging the railway station at Harbin was attracted recently by a Cossack with rosy cheeks and whose beardless face and woman's voice told clearly that the soldiers garb was be- ing worn by a woman, writes the St. Petersburg correspondent of "The London Globe" The Russian amazon was a Nile. Smolka, and a member of the staff of the Messenger de Harbin."
 Gathered from her own lips and from some of the inhabitants are the following highly interesting details concerning the life of the heroine:
 Helene Mikhailovna Smolka, the daughter of Jewish soldier of the days of Nicholas I, was young girl of seventeen years of age, when, dur ing the disorders in China, she re- solved to enlist in the ranks of the frontier guards. As she had lived from her childhood at Nikolsk- Ussurlisk in the company of Chinese and Corans she had perfect knowledge both of Chinese and of Corean, and she hoped that she could be of use during the trouble with China. Having clothed herself as g man, and having taken the name of Michel Nicolaievitch Smolka, this eccentric and brave girl passed with great distinction the ex- animation as interpreter held at the School of Interpreters at Vladivostok. Toward the end of 1900 the girl was serving as interpreter and frontier guard at the station of Ninguta, in Manehuria. She had taken part in all the scouting and skirmishes and had learned how to handle her rife and sword. In 1901 Smolka was sent at the head of about 8 hundred frontier guards to reconnoitre at Kaiga. Over come by hard days work, the man went to sleep in the peasants house. The Chunchuses were not far off, and the traitorous Chinese told them that the Russians were resting for the night. The Chunchuses resolved to profit from the night and their greater numbers, and to attack the house in which @the Russians were sleeping. How, they had overlooked Smolkas vigilance. In moving among the Chinese, Smolka had got wind of the plot, she aroused the frontier guards in time to let the Chunchuses ap- proach the house, then, as the latter came near, the Russians rushed out and fired upon them and put them to flight. During that little skirmish she recieved her first wound, which was on the right arm close to the shoulder,
 As a reward for all the services ren- dered by her during the campaign in China, Somlka received silver med al and a sword with silver hilt and bearing the inscription. ITO the inter- preter, Smolka, for courage displayed at Kaiga."
 Immediately after the outbreak of war with Japan, Smolka sent a request to the commander of the forces to ask him to allow her to be enrolled in the volunteers. Without waiting for a reply, Smolka went to Harbin, with a view of supporting her request at the hands of General Volkoff; but she did not receive the desired permission. Then this brave woman disguised her self as a man, hung her medal around her neck and sought favorable op- portunity for undergoing all risks and

But the supreme element in the cost
of those wedding garments is the blood
of Christ himself. 1t was by his own
suffering and death that he won the
right to wear them. Do you wonder
that Isaiah when in prophetic vision
he sees these wedding robes describes
them by their colOr-the color Of the
bloody sacrifice? "Who is this" cried
he that cOmeth from EdOm with dyed
garments from Bozrah-this that is
glorious in his apparel? Wherefore
art thou red in thine apparel and thy
garments like him that treadeth in the
wine vat?' All, my friends, l am glad
today we can talk about the royal Grim
son and not the royal purple of Christ's
wedding garments. l am glad that
even in heaven, when looking upon the
divine face of Jesus. we shall not be
allowed for one moment to forget the
enormous cost in money and blood of
the marriage robes in which Christ will
be clad as the Bridegroom when he
takes the church as his bride in eter-
nal nuptials. Am going beyond my
right in declaring that Christs we'd
ding robes are to be the most expensive
Of garments?
But, drawing near to the Divine Bride
groom, find that Christs wedding
robes have a wonderful curative quail
ity. Their touch is like the cool hand
upon the fevered brow. Oh. yes. they
are more than that. Their touch gives
spiritual and physical healing. It is
like the healing power of Christ's
earthly robe when the border Of it was
pressed just an iastaht y the fore
finger Of the poor woman who had an
issue OF blood for twelve years. No
sooner did her flesh come in contact
with It's folds than Immediately "the

A JOY In Suffering.


But have the royal robes of Christ no

ton of pain or of heartaches? If that

"Yes," answered the ruler of the Jews,
''they win. II you will examine the
mummies preserved for thousands Of
years in the Egyptian tombs you will
find that these spices were the chief
causes Of their preservation" HerOd-
Otus, the father of history" nearly
500 years before Christ was erucifed,
records that the Egyptians always
preserved the bodies of their dead with
these spices. "They then fill the body
with powder Of myrrh and alOes and
cassia and other perfumes, except
frankincense." Thus we find by these
two statements that the wedding gar
ments Of Christ not only have cura-
dive, but also a preservative. quality.
That means, carrying the figure up to

Miss Sarah Jackson. living near Dills-

consistent hater of men that she has
provided in her will that no man shall
have anything to do with her funeral.
The driver of the hearse, the pallbear-
ers and even the persons who fill the
grave are to be women if the provisions
Of her will are carried out. The will
sets aside money for the services neces-
sary in connection with her burial and
stipulates that none but women shall
be employed in any capacity. Miss
Jackson is said to have been crossed in
love more than forty years ago and
not to have spoken to a man since she

lives, all her transactions taking place
