yesterdays srocK MARKET
Speculative Sentiment swayed by the
Varying Gossip.


New York, April 26.-speculative
sentiment in the stock market seems
to be swayed at present almost entirely
by the varying gossip regarding the
relations between railroad capitalists
who control the northwestern railroad
systems. To-day's rumors shifted to
the side of prevailing harmony and a
disposition to cooperate for mutual adj
vantage. The reports of restored har-
| mony to-day came after the movements
of the stocks and there was suspicion
that manipulatiye processes played a
large part in the price movement. The
| downward plunge in the price of North
ern Securities was largely due to the
fear that with the release of the stocks
| of its constituent companies they would
be freely liquidated on account the
| high level to which the nominal quota
lions had been carried while the hold
ings We're tied up in the Nortern Secur-
| tiles company. This apprehension kept
alive the violent declines in the quota
! tions for these stocks. But there was
an awakening to-day to the fact that
the volume OF offerings on which these
declines had been made was almost
distribution being effected of certifi-
Gates Of stocks of these companies. It
was reasoned from this that the con-
centrated holdings of Northern Pacific
/ and Great Northern were probably lit

coming on the market in large quanti-
ty. There was a considerable outstand-
inc short interest which was alarmed
by these developments. The effect was
clearly manifest in the movements in

and New York Central, all OF which
have been bound IN together more or

topic. Very explicit declarations were
made also that the long rumored lease

NaIuahIe Plaulet.

George Ade. who recently startled
his friends by remaining for week
in his room in New York hotel and
submitting to a starvation cure for in
digestion, is said to have written a
one-act vaudeville play which many
actors are bidding for, but which he
refuses to allow to be produced.
The principal character is an old
negro from the South, now employed
as the doorkeeper in a New York gam
bling house. His former master, a
typical Southern colonel OF the old
school, is a broken gamester, and
therefore no longer welcome. The
boss gambler orders the negro to
throw the old man out if he comes
again. He does come. The negro
would as soon think of ejecting an
archangel as his former owner. who
is shabby and hungry. but still proud.
So the faithful black confesses to
having long ago stolen from him five
dollar coin-which he never did-and
insists on making restitution. The
colonel reluctantly and condescending
ly accepts the supposed conscience
money and departs. Then the boss
gambler comes in and asks il the in
truder has gone. Yes. yes, sab. :

My son." said he, 1--WE are much
perplexed. We had hoped that our
ideas upon this strange eommunioa-
tion were correct, and that, allowing
all that you have obtained from your
mother and have seen yourself to have
been no deception, still that it was the
work Of the EVIL One, and, If so. our
prayers and masses would have de-
stroyed this power. We advised you
to wait another summons, and you
have received it. The letter itself is
Of course nothing, but the reappear-
ance Of the bearer of the letter is the
question to be considered. Tell me,
Philip, what is your opinion on this
point? 1t is possible he might have
been saved-why not as well as your
self?"
Il acknowledged the possibility,
father replied Philip; "he may have
been cast on shore and have wandered
in another direction. 1t is possible, al
though anything but probable; but
since you ask me my opinion, | must
say candidly that l consider he is no
earthly messenger; nay, ! am sure of
it. That he is mysreriously connected
with my destiny is certain But who
he is and what he is, of couse can
not tell. "
Then. my son, we have come to the
determination, in this instance, not to
advise. You must act now upon your
own responsibility and your own iudg-
ment. In what way soever you may
decide, we shall not blame you Our
prayers shall be that Heaven may still
have you in its holy keeping
MY decision, holy father, is to obey
the summons"
BE it SO, my son; something may
occur which may assist to work out
the mystery-a mystery which l ac-
knowledge to be beyond my compre-
hension, and Of too painful nature
for me to dwell upon"
Philip said 70 more, for he per-
ceived that the priest was not at all in
clined to converse. Father Matthias
took this opportunity Of thanking
Philip for his hospitality and kindness.
and stated his intention of returning
to Lisbon by the first opportunity that
might offer.

Prayer meetings are often held in the
underground galleries of Great Brit
aims colliery districts, but there is
probably only one mine where an
apartment has been excavated and set
aside exclusively as a place Of worship.
This strange sanctuary is to be found
in the Myndd Newydd Colliery, about
three miles out of the town Of Swan
sea. The underground chapel dates
back for more than half a century, and
every morning since its Inauguration
the workers in the colliery have as
sembled together in this remarkable
and novel edifice to worship God The
chapel is situated close to the bottom
of the shaft so that the miners, on de-
scending the pit, can so to worship
before they proceed to their various
stations. The apartment is strangely
lacking in ornamentation and adorn-
ment. The pillars and the beams
which support the roof are Of rough
wood, and disused coal trolley turned
on end, does duty as a pulpit. The
only light in the sanctuary is given
by a Davy safety lamp hung by
rope from the ceiling. The miners sit
upon rough wooden forms placed
across the chapel from side to side. and

Philip replied not; and. absorbed in
their own meditations. they walked
back in silence to the cottage. AL
though Philip had made up his own
mind, he Immediately sent the Portu-
guese priest to summon Father Sey-
sen, that he might communicate with
them and take their opinion as to the
summons he had received. Having
entered into a fresh detail of the sup
posed death of Schriften, and his re-
appearance as a messenger, he then left
the two priests to consult together,
and went upstairs to Anime. It was
more than two hours before Philip was
called down, and Father Seysen ap-
peared to be in a state OF great per-
plexity.

Anime.

About three months later Anime and
Philip were seated upon the messy
bank which we have mentioned and
which had become their favorite re-
sort. Father Matthias had contracted a
great intimacy with Father Seysen,
and the two priests were almost as
inseparable as were Philip and Anime.
Having determined to wait summons
previous to Philips again entering
upon his strange and fearful task, and,
happy in the possession of each other,
the subject was seldom revived.
Philip, who had, on his return, ex-
pressed his wish to the directors of the
company for immediate employment,
had, since that period, taken no further
steps, nor had any communication
with Amsterdam.
All at once Philip felt something
touch his shoulder. and sudden chill
ran through his frame In a moment
his ideas reverted to the probable
cause: he turned round his head and,
to his amazement, beheld the (sup-
posed to be drowned) pilot OF the Ter
Schilling, the one-eyed Schriften, who
stood behind him with letter in his
hand. The sudden appearance OF this
malignant wretch induced Philip to
exclaim:
"Merciful Heavensl is it possible?"

tears. 1t was not fear that caused this

kept the fact TO themselves; it would
have been considered an indelicacy to

The Empress Josephine was the
first person to use a pocket handker

by bad teeth, and to conceal this fact
she used to gracefully hold a costly

It has been said, and not without

able, buoyant-hearted mother is a
blessing and a joy to any girl who
knows the meaning of the word appre-

will also be grateful If you will look
after her own little beauty ills during

hood, when a little careful attention
means so very. very much. For in

When Philii watch that

and it was then, after long conversa-

he was Of the Catholic persuasion.
Indeed, my son, that is unusual in
a Hollander."
1T is So" replied Philip; NOR is it
known on board-not that am
ashamed OF my religion, but ! wish to
avoid discussion.
You are prudent, my son. Alasl If
the reformed religion produces no bet

TELL me, father" said Philip-"they
talk of a mysterious vision-of ship
not manned by mortal men. Did you
see it?"

the priest; and certainly, as far as my
senses would enable me to judge, the
appearance was most nnusual--I may
say supernatural; but J had heard of
this Phantom Ship before. and more
over that it's appearance was the pre-
cursor of disaster
The Batavia waited a few days at
st. Helena, and then continued her
voyage. In six weeks Philip again
found himself at anchor in the Zuyder
Zee, and having the captains permits

own home, taking with him the old
Portuguese priest Matthias, with whom
he had formed great intimacy. and to
whom he had offered his protection for
