YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET
Much Further UnsettIement Under Con- tinued Influence of Russian Disturb


 Much Further UnsettIement Under Con- tinued Influence of Russian Disturb anees.
 New York, Dec. 1.-The stock market showed much further unsettlement to- day under the continued influence of the widening effect of the Russian dis turbances and our own tight money market. As the day progressed those influences seemed to lose their force for time and stocks recovered their loss es. The upward movement of the later dealings was desultory and very spotty. The high grade railroad stocks and the better known industrials played small part in the movement and speculative activity was diverted again in a mark ed degree to stocks of a minor grade, especially non-diyidend paying indus trials.
 Money continued in rather scanty supply and lent above per cent. from the outset. Some of the forces of de- pletion of bank reserves also were still in operation. The money market prob ably was affected also by some return in the way of dividend and interest disbursements of the sums accumulated for the December 1 settlement. Ster- ling exchange rates declined, the sup ply in that market being replenished by bankers finance bills, the proceeds of which went into our money market. Discounts declined in London in spite of the sharp turn in the continental ex- changes against London. The move ment of sterling exchange at Paris was particularly marked.
 The financial center has to bear the brunt of the disorderly conditions of Russian finance. The slump in Russian government bonds was reflected in free liquidation of other securities in which Paris is largely interested, in order to protect their holdings of Russians. The undertaking confidence with which French holders of Russian securities held through the strain of the Japan csc war has given way to condition of mind bordering on demoralization. Some attention was given to the fn- creasing issues of new stock and bonds of various corporations. American Tel ephone and Telegraph sold off points
  thority for $10O,OOO,OOO convertible bond issue.
 Space forbids enumeration for the many specialties seldom active which made fairly sensational gains. Their slight influence was shown in the re- newal of the weakness in the late gen. eral market. The Russian situation also reasserted itself in the demand for remittance in the exchange mar ket. Prices there recovered sharply and the call money rate moved upwards in consequence. The governments es- innate of the cotton crop and rumors of a receivership for the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton also helped to unsettle the late market. The closing was irregular and some stocks near the lowest prices.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $2,S10,Oo8.
 United States new fours registered declined E on call.

WAS A LANDSLIDE.

Huge Mass Of Rock Broke from the Cliff.
 The residents of Westville living near West Rock were greatly startled at about 10 o'clock Sunday night by a loud rumbling noise coming from the direction of the rock. It was almost a roar and lasted for fully a minute.
 The cause of the sounds was the breaking off and rolling down of huge mass of rock and earth from the face of the cliff.
 It had probably become loosened by the action of the frost and the rain of Sunday so weighted it down that it was started from it's place.

THE FIERY PIT OF HALEMAUMAU
Something Of Ki'auea
Crater as Seen by
Daylight.
(By Sol. y. Sheridan).

The four horses that pull the stag
from Honuapo, on the kau coast, TO
Pahala. are so much better than they
look that it is really surprising when
they spring away at a lively gait over
the dreary uplands that lie between the
cane fields of Hutchinson and the sea.
Tt is a wonder to me that somebody
has not, before now, suggested the
planting of the algaroba on that Kau
desert-if that waste of lava rock and
sand is the Kau desert. 1t is some
de ert anyhow, and the more desolate
because of the cane that CLEANS on the
highlands above it, and the blue sea
that sparkles in the sunshine lower
down.
1t is long, steady pull, uphill all the
way to Pahala, yet the horses do not
seem to tire, and there is the singing
of the trade wind in our faces as we
the early morning. And, at Pahala,
there is a change of horses and a
breakfast at the Pake restaurant, ham
and eggs and coffee rather better than
white man has any right to expect
so close to the coffee country. The one
evil thing on the Mauna Loa had been
the coffee, which was an offense only
to be condoned by the fact that she
is the Kona boat-and Kona grows the
best coffee in the world.
Have you ever observed that people
use beet sugar in Hawaii and that
they do not know what first-class navel
oranges are, by taste in Los Angeles?
The principle is the same. And the
good coffee at the Pake place in Pahala
was therefore the more surprising.

THE CRATER LIVES.
The first glimpse of the crater of
Kilauea is most inspiring. It lies out
there in its black bed of tumbled lava
in a sea that is turned to stone, a
yawning pit that seems to open into
bottomless depths. And up from it
curls, now, lazy wreath of smoke
that yet suggests wrath even in its
sluggish motion. There is no steam
coming from Halemaumau. 1t is smoke
and angry smoke. But every crack in
the plain that lies about the Volcano
House is steaming. and there i in the
air as you drive along toward the no.
tel on the Kau road a smell of sulphur
that is suggestive of a great many
things.
The crater of Kilauea has been
described again. and again. and again.
1t has been written of in all languag es,
by men of scientific mind who could
talk learnedly of geo'ogic al eau es and
effects and by the mere laity who
could only tell, in part. what thev felt
upon seeing it, but whose telling was
therefore the more satisfactory, per-
haps. 1t has been painted and photo
graphed by amateurs and artists. And
1t lies there in its majestic grandeur
and defies scientists and laymen anna
tours and artists alike. For no human
being can describe Kilauea. The SIGHT
is an emotion-and emotions do not
lend themselves to description. Neither
does any picture that I have ever seen
do justice to the volcano.

you had not come, but still ever pres
ent. Maybe it adds the charm CT the
needed spice of danger
The lava in the floor of the main
crater is scanned with large and small
cracks, and in places these have been
red hot since the present season of
activity in the Pit began. There seem,
indeed, to be lines of heat that radiate
from the Pit across the lava bed, "a
line running toward the summit of
Mauna Loa, another in the direction of
the line of craters that go down to the
sea through Puma, another toward the
smaller adjacent crater called Kilauea-
Xxi, and still another in a direction OPP
posite to that.
Close to the Pit of Halemaumau
which has been increased in SIZE ap-
probably since the beginning of the
present outbreak, for the walls having
broken down on every side save one,
there is series of hot cracks that ex-
tend all around the Pit and at about
an equal distance from it on all sides
This line of cleavage seems to mark
the radius of the underflow of lava and
it would not be at all surprising if at
any moment there would be a cave in
all around the line. or if surface flow
should begin anywhere on the line of
the crack.
in fact, the lava within this line is
already beginning to break down. as
though its support was being with
drawn. I visited the crater every day
during six days, and I noticed changes
from day to day in the surface of the
lava within this heated line. 1t is one
of the peculiarities OF KiIauea that
part of the lava upon which the visitor
stands to watch the volcanic phenom-
ena one day should have vanished on
the next.

OF course, having seen the volcano
very little, do not know enough about
it to venture a prediction as to what

say, from present appearances and
from what has been told me by those
who have seen the crater at its best,
that it will be better in a month from
now-or, rather, more active, than it is
now. And that perhaps the old lake of
fire may come back again before the
year is out.
Seen in the daytime from the brink
of the Pit, the manner of its filling is
very apparent. The lava is flowing

Kansas City, Kan. Feb. "a church
built at night by its pastor and mem
bers was formerly opened Sunday in
this city. The excavation for the foun-
dation was dug by its men and women
members after they had already done a
days work as bread winners. The foun-
dations were laid and the superstruc-
ture raised in the same way. They
worked from o'clock until II. some
times until midnight. by the light Of
torches. And now the building is so
far advanced that services can be held
in it
This home made" edihce is the North
Side Christian church, at Seventh street
and Parallel avenue It's pastor is the
Rev c. P Smith, formerly a newspaper
reporter He thought out the plan OF
building the church by the hand labor
OF his own flock. That was three years
ago. The church had no fund ahead,
so a saving system was established and
the site Of the church was bought to be
paid for. Then the stone for the foun-
dation and the lumber was bought and
hauled to the ground Six months ago
the work of excavating for the base
ment and foundations began. The men
of the congregation met upon the
grounds each week day evening and put
on overalls and jumpers and dug and
wheeled the earth away.
The women Of the congregation came
on the scene each evening about $3.50
O'clock with hot coffee and baskets of
lunch. Work was then suspended for
few minutes and the men sat down to
the little feasts the women had prepar-
ed for them. The work on the super
structure is being continued. 1t viii
probably take two years to finish the
church, but practically all OF the work
is being done by the members without
charge. Even the plumbing, gas 1T
ting and electrical wiring was done by
members of the church experienced in
that line of work.
There was a rule that no one should
work after midnight. but one young
man became so enthusiastic that one
Saturday night he worked until 2
O clock Sunday morning. For this he
was reprimanded in church that day.
The Rev. Mr.. Smith has been one Of
the hardest workers of them all. His
hands are rough and calloused from
pick and shovel and mortar box.
The congregation has $50 members.
The church, when finished, will seat l.
500 people, and will cost $1,000. count
ing in the work done by its members.
