THE YOUNG ARCHITECT.

Trials of a Pioneer Artist in the Rural
 Districts.
 Among the graduates that every year leave an architectural school are the lone plucky fellows who elect to start out of their own will and set up shop for themselves, Of this small body of the plucky there is a harder and qluck- CT figure yet-a figure who might in- spire novel all to himself-a figure it is not impossible to conceive of as sub- lime in his way He goes from his school to the small town inland, where the first national banker desires turned geWgaws laid all over his front porch, and the grocer asks for an oriel win dow in his kitchen. There he battles with these peoples earnest but absurd wants, battles for his high ideals, bat ties for the smal fees that everybody is surprised at his asking, as if the poor fellow had not enough to do to battle successfully with the difficulties that go along with any effort at realizing on paper and afterward In bric and stone the ideas that germinate in the head, so beautiful and so hard to express.
 Beautiful designs he makes and not costly. They only bewilder these good people, or perhaps insult them with comprehension.

Church committees get up an unfair competitor, as they always do; and the young graduate labors nights, and draws a handsome Tudor Gothic chapel, with a door, in his best manner and all the detail in key.

YESTERDAY,S STOCK M1RKET,
Dealings Expand and Strength Better
 Distributed.

New York, Oct. 1O.-Dealings in stocks expanded somewhat to-day. and strength in the market was better dis trlbuted and consequently had more sympathetic effect on the general list, The result was partly to diminish the spotty appearance of the market, al- though a few stocks showed dispropor- donate strength and activity. These stocks were of better class than yes terday, when the low grade of the se- curities which became prominent had detrimental effect on the tone of the whole speculation,
 There was no change in general con- ditions to account for the better tone of speculation. The most conspicuous movements were accounted for by ru- mors of specific developments regard ing the individual properties, most of them vague and unauthorized Pro- spective dividend increases and com blnation projects were conspicuous features in the days stock market gos- sip. Union Pacific and St. Paul rose jointly on a revival of reports of closer relations. These rumors seemed to gain additional force from the fact of the reelection of the president of the St. Paul as a director of the Union Pa cific at the annual meeting yesterday That meeting also gave rise to renewed assertions that the pamphlet report was to appear immediately, and that it would contain important information bearing on the addition to the value of property Assurances from authorized sources that the report would not be ready for the stockholders for several weeks did not diminish the active spec ulation operations in the stock, which were attributed to the so-called west ern element in the speculation. The large increase in gross and net earn ings for August reported by the Union Pacific was n favor of the movement Other railroad stocks did not in all cases respond to similarly favorable showings.
 Northern Pacific's prosperous annual showing was sluggish until late in the day, when a demand for United States Steel developed which carried 1t to the highest price on the present movement. The extraordinary prosperity in the copper trade was moderately reflected in the movement in Amalgamated Con- per. Hopes of dividend increases were motives for the rise in Pennsylvania and American Smelting, although the latter stock showed the effect of profit taking in it's wide advance during the caurse of the day The same was true of some other stocks which rose sharply earlier in the week. Money continued to work easier, in spite of the manifest pressure for remittance to London
 The improved money situation was reflected also in an enlarged demand for bonds at advancing prices, which gave that market very firm tone. Total sales, par value $2,754 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Rlsked His LIE to Save a Dog.

NJ J. Cavanaugh ("Steeple JaclI'') risl1ed
his life Wednesday in climbing with the
aid Of a rope down the rocky and ice
covered walls of the gorge of milestone
brook to rescue a little dog. The act of
humanity is the more notable in that the
animal was only a nondescript cur that
had been discarded by Italian laborers
who. on quitting town, found it incon-
venient to take their pet along.
To be rid Of the dog the Italians threw
the little beast down the milestone
gorge, intending 1t should go into the
brook and drown. Instead, the dog
landed in a crevice Of the rock and had
remained there four days. At night its
howls could be heard plainly as it suf-
fered in the zero weather. Newsboys took
pity on the animal and. spending their
pennies on sandwiches, lowered them by
strings to the starving brute
Cavanaugh determined to rescue the
dog when he learned Of it's plight. Lower
ing a rope over the steep side of the rocks
ne clambered down. Reaching the dog,
Cavanaugh tied the rope around its body
and II was pulled up. Again the rope
was lowered and Cavanaugh climbed hand
over hand to safety amid the cheers from
the crowd who had watched the rescue.
The dog has been adopted by the boys
who fed It,

Mysterious shooting Of a Bride.

The town officials of Ira, nine miles
from Rutland, began Tuesday an investi-
cation Of the mysterious shooting of Mrs
Mary Parker Gilmore, wife OF Charles
Gilmore, while she was entertaining
friends Monday night at a reception fol-
lowing her wedding. The young bride,
hearing voices outside the house, and
thinking that more guests were arriving,
went to the door to welcome them. She
saw group Of men a short distance from
the doorway and spoke to them. but re-
ceived no reply. Suddenly as she stood
there, two shots were fired at her In rapid
succession from the darkness, one caus-
ing a compound fracture OF her arm Just
below the right shoulder, while the other
struck her sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Gil
more, In the left shoulder. The latter's
wound Is not severe, but that OF the bride
is very serious. No effort was made at
the time OF the shooting to pursue the
assailant, but Tuesday the officers, acting
on statment made by one OF the men
who were outside Of the house, arrested
Andrew Farrell, a young farmer. The
weapon used is said to have been a rifle
OF large calibre carrying heavy home
made bullets. The motive for the assault
Is unknown. Mrs. Gilmore is 10 years old
and her husband 20.
Farrell was brought to the house of
correction in Rutland where he is held on
the charge Of assault with attempt to kill.
Farrell denies all knowledge OF the shoot
ing. Mrs. Gilmore's arm win probably be
amputated.

AS THE OLD YEAR DIES.

[From Tennyson's In Memoriam.l
Ring out, wild bells. to the wild sky,
The flying cloud. the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more:
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin.
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out. ring out my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free.
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness. of the land,
Ring in the Christ that Is to be.

Nearly 1000 students at the Moody Schools

The Moody schools at Northfeld and Mt.
Hermon have just closed one Of the most
successful terms in their history. The
enrolment in the two schools is nearly
1000, the Mt Hermon school having the
largest in its history. At Mt Hermon the
athletics have been full OF interest and
some Of the college stars have started
their career as athletes in the school.
The inter er-dormitory games have been the
features. In Northfeld the girls have not
started up their basket ball. The union
OF the Bible training school and the
Northheld school has proved a success as
it has brought some strong speakers be-
fore the students. Both schools are hav-
ing enlarged quarters built. At North
field the home science building, given by
Miss Mary NJ. and Miss Elizabeth Bill
lings Of Woodstock is nearly completed.
Ground will soon be broken at Mt. Her
mon for the administration building

Fire In Peers Remedy Company Quarters

A fire in the storeroom of Peers Rem
edy company on Flat street did consid-
cradle damage to the stock and smoked
the building about 1925 Wednesday night
The storeroom was filed with inhammable
material and the fire department did well
in keeping the flames to the one room of
the lower story of the old wooden build
ing. The fire was started by one of the
employees stepping on a snap match.
The employees were working unusually
late as there was a large order to be
shipped yesterday Shortly before 1890
o'clock two of them went into the store
room for some new material and one step
ped on a snap match in the passageway
He extinguished the match and went on
with his work. few minutes later
flames burst out in the storeroom and II
of the match flew of and lodged in some
excelsior nearby. The storeroom was well
filled with tar in barrels, papers and ex-
celsior as well as a considerable guam
tity of highly infiammable liquids in car
boys. An effort was made to reach the
central telephone station to call an alarm
but as no one responded promptly one OF
the men were sent to the engine house on
Elliot street and the alarm was sounded
from there. The fire department res
ponded promptly and soon had the flames
under control Until all the stock is ex-
amined the damage to the company can
not be determined. The storeroom was
badly smoked but no part OF the wood
work was so badly burned that it will
have to be replaced. A large crowd
gathered.

AR. Clement was denied. On the first

the defendant but a retrial was granted
on the ground that members OF the jury
had been employed by Mr.. Clement. The

costs on the second trial. A petition for
stay OF execution OF the judgment was
presented recently TO Judge Martin Of the
United States circuit court, but at the
hearing Wednesday the Judge denied the
