is searching one and embodies three

the candidate must give proof that he has
acquired a sound knowledge of Dutch and

A teacher of religion in Holland is thus
excellently equipped for his task. To OBJ

possessor of the lowest degree can only
be at the head Of a small congregation

Here again. the central commission can
step in, and does step in, to compel
congregation above the fixed number Of
families to provide itself with teacher

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. Dec 26.-The stock mar
ket opened strong and buoyant this
morning after the Christmas holiday.
Short coverings was the feature OF the
early trading. Union Pacific, Northern
Pacific, Great Northern. Pennsylvania,
Reading, st. Paul and Shelters all
showed gains of one to two points
over the previous close.
The trade in Reading and Copper
was especially large. Transactions Of
thousand shares lots was not at all
uncommon, Copper sold up to 113 4 after
opening around 112.
The entire market was feverish and
irregular, at one time during the day It
looked as If new low record prices
would be established, but influential
interests came to the support of the
market by bidding up St Paul and
Union Pacific which were attacked in
an aggressive manner by the bear
cliques
The Hill stocks We're again the weak
feature all during the day, Northern
Pacific and Great Northern both max
ing new low records on this decline.
Northern Pacific sold down from 1S6 to
179 and Great Northern going a point
below that.
The new ore stock did not sympa-
thize with the weakness of the other
Hill issues and only lost about point
for the day. Some of the shrewdest
traders in the street believe that the
extreme weakness in the HIN stocks
is an effort TO drive out one Of the
influential long holders and that event
ually these two issues viii sell much
higher than the current prices pre-
vailing at present.
The call money market was rather
firm, loans ruling around per cent.
up to the close of the session, this, how
ever, is not unusual when it is taken
into onsideration that large dividend
disbursements will be forthcoming
within the next week and bankers are
making preparations to pay them.

The Miner Hicks.

Many thousands Of persons read
eagerly each day the reports concern
ing the Imprisonment Of the miner
Hicks and of the work that was done
TO rescue him. For a man to be bur
led fifteen days and nights in the
heart Of a mountain. with tons OF rock

world, was enough to excite the cur
iosity of the general public. Doubtless
many tried to put themselves in his
place. specializing on what they might
think and how they might feel if
buried alive. one living man entomb-
ed aroused much sympathy; little no

Hicks who were dead and buried by

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Dec. 26-WHEAT-Dun,
featureless market with lower ten
dency. The news as a whole was
rather favorable TO the bearish traders
with the exception of the visible sup
ply statement which did not show as
large an increase as was expected and
induced quite a little buying for a
speculative character. The entire
fluctuations for the day We're scarcely
one half a cent. Foreign markets
closed today, therefore exporters prac-
tically did nothing in the way of new
business. The market closed steady at
slight changes from the previous bust
ness day.
CORN-Receipts of over 700 cars of
new corn had a depressing influence
on speculative prices and in conse-
quence prices eased off fractionally on
selling by cash grain houses. The car
shortage is still the disturbing factor
in the corn market. preventing the mar
keting of the new crop. The market
closed steady with a loss Of about q
quarter of cent for the day.
OATS-Followed the balance Of the
grain markets in a narrow way, strong
early in the session, later selling of
trife. The trade was not large and
was more or less of a scalping char
acter. Cash demand continues good,
sales TO exporters today being about
so 600 bushels. Oats in the sample
market reported unchanged from Mon
day. The speculative market closaa
barely steady.

little people who believe in him were

one of Mark Twain's stories.

I met Rev. Charley crossing his

told me this little tale. He had been
out to Chicago to attend a convention
of the Congregational clergymen, ana
had taken his little boy with him.
During the trip he reminded the little
chap. every now and then, that he must
be on his very best behavior there In
Chicago. He said: I'VE shall be the
guest of q clergyman. there viii be
other guests-clergymen and their
wives-and you must be careful to let
those people see by your walk and con
vessation that you are of cody
household. Be very careful about this"
The admonitton bore fruit At the first
breakfast at which they ate in the Chi
cago clergyman's house he heard his

reverend way to the lady opposite him.
