New engagements of gold amounting to $3, 500,000 were registered in New York yesterday, and this fact together with renewed buying In Reading, St. Paul, Atchison and Union Pacific pro- duced a general sharp advance in the market yesterday. The buying was in- dueed by rumors that one or two of these roads were to figure in an im- portant deal, but the rumors were very vague and indefinite
 Call money stood at g per cent. as a result of the readjustments of credits called for by the engagements for Oc- tober settlement. The market showed that some of the largest operations of last week were carried over and that several transactions supposed tc have been provided for on Thursday or Fri day were included in yesterdays de- mand The firmness of the market was nothing unusual.
 Discounts at London were higher. The view prevailed that the Bank of England would advance its discount rate again this week, as further pro- lection to the English gold supply which is being so rapidly reduced by withdrawals for New Tor.
 Atchlson's strength yesterday was on the belief that an increase in the divi- dend would be announced after the meeting of directors tomorrow. The rate is now 4 per cent per year. Some are expecting it to be made and oth- CTS 6 per cent
 The remarkable activity of Reading with 225,O00 shares dealt in during the first hour recalled the similar activity of ten days ago, when the total for cer- tain days ran up above 3OO000. The cause of yesterdays movement was generally assumed to represent lnanipu- iation of strong pool, which can do pretty much as it please because of the small floating supply.
 The rise in United States Steel com mon to 47, with a corresponding rise in Great Northern and Northern Pacific, was on the expectation that the terms of the Hill ore deal would be announc- ed to-day. This expectation has been so often disappointed that few persons bought these stocks. In any event, il looked as if the deal had been fully discounted,
 Southern Pacific sold ex-di1idend at 9 1-2 percent, but did not gain much That this should be so, considering all the talk about a deal with St. Paul was regarded as significant.
 The National City bank engaged $2,- 100000 gold in London. Between $t ,000,- GOO and $2,0OO,OOO additional was taker by other interests for New York, Ster ling here was trifie weaker, selling

:. 4.,DoA,S SIO1A MANA.
Closes Slightly Irregular - Strong
 stocks Near the Top.

New York, Oct, 1.-Wall street braced itself for the shock of a possible call money furry to-day. The bracing was so effectually done that a considerable show of strength resulted when it turned out that there was not much of a money furry after all. The call loan rate went to per cent. early in the day and prices wavered, as it was feared this might be the precursor of worse to come But the amount of funds attracted by this rate proved sufficient to carry 1t lower and the stock market promptly stiffened again. The strength was rather spotty and was suspected of manlpulative origin for sustaining effect on the general list, but the unobstructed advance of few of the most prominent stocks proved ample to reassure sentiment. The mar ket became very quiet when the firm ness of tone had been established. While the principal requirements for the October settlements come up on the first of the month, some of them are distributed through the month. It is usual for the stringency caused by the turn of quarter to endure several days, owing to delay in the return of the funds distributed to the channels of the money market, For these req sons there remained a spirit of caution in extending stock market operations as advances in the money rate are con sidered probable for the remaining days of the week.
 There is considerable increase in the confidence, however, that effective progress has been made in securing re- sources towards meeting the heavy de- mands for harvesting purposes ahead ol the money market. The strengthened position of the New York banks, as shown by the last two bank statements contributes to this feeling The days principal movements show the large part played by the ore lands deal St Paul and Southern Pacific merger, buy ing of Reading for control and com ing per cent. dividend for Atchison all still in the form of rumors and rem ovated for new use after doing serYic' many previous times. The marke closed slightly irregular, but with thu strong stocks near the top.
 There was @ broader market fo bonds, in contrast with it's recent mar rowness and sluggishness. Septemoe sales of stocks were $500, ,oO0 shares an increase, of 9,SO0,OOO over last Sep tember, while bonds sold in Septembe at a par value of $42,950,00O were $25, 247,00O less than in last September.

The chin was normal. The expression

Gerome thereupon turned to her and,
lndistinctly and gutturally. mumbled sew
eral syllables, evidently trying 10 say
something to her.
Mrs Doucet said ~ do not understand
you, Gerome. Speak louder"
Gerome thereupon leaned toward her, IN
the common attitude Of one who lie enN-
/ lous to be clearly understood. and again
Imumbled, a little more clearly than Dc
fore and making evident EFFORT to articu-
late distinctly. He then made third at
tempt but with no greater success eN-
cept that IL became obvious that he had
tried to say the same thing each time. II

hnAlity. the whole situation. left ntle
doubt OF what he meant to say. That ne
tried to say something there 10 no DOUBT
a. all.
Mrs. Doucet made some further efforts TO
talk with him, and l addressed him IN
Spanish but when the truth became EVIL
dent and Gerome, uneasy, turned again to
the stove II seemed the part OF Kindness
! to leave him to himself,
Our second visit to Gerome thus proved
conclusively that the long years OF silence
and dlsuse of the vocal organs had now In
capa citated him from speaking. The vocal
organs had lost their feXibllity, become
set, and what was true % them was no
doubt true Of the stihed brain. Our feeling
during the first visit. based on the stories
we had heard. namely. that he could speak

seemingly groundless; but It was stu i'm
possible to realize. with the breathing vic
tim there before us, that the tragedy was
all In the past
We learned that the first physician who
had attended Gerome, Or. Patton, was
now dead, but that there was living at

! him before that for two years but he al
once knew me. He took my two hands in
his and held them. as II he were glad 10
see me"
Mrs. Doucet said she was perfectly will
Ing to pay another visit to Ger6me, and
| we arranged to go together the following
day. We wished 10 see If he would recog-
nize this old friend, perhaps speak to her.
The things Mrs. DOuCet had told us served
| 10 dispel somewhat the awe with which
one must regard a living Sphinx, though,
after all, this unexpected Information tend
ed in only a slight degree to clear the at
mosphere OF mystery which surrounds this
strange man.
With different feelings, therefore. though
even greater interest We entered for the
second time the little farmhouse on the
hill, beyond the door of which Mrs
Comeau now told US, Gerome had refused
TO stir for fifteen years. The little chill
dren stu played about. The kitchen
shone bare and clean, at the end OF the
hall. on this occasion We first turned into
a little sitting room al the left, from which
another door led into the kitchen. II was
planned that Mrs. Doucet should enter the
latter room alone and speak 70 Ger6me
He was stll by the stove, but In a position
where he could be clearly seen from the
other room.
Mrs. Doucet entered the kitchen Gerome
was looking down, in the same attitude as
on our first visit, and did not at first notice
her. AS she approached him she said
I Bon Jour. Gerome," and, STOPPING Gloss
beside him hello out her hand.
y Gerome drew back and looked quickly up
AZ tie same time raising his hand as II tC
strike. but he lowered the hand immediate
.ly and. turning half way, resumed his
former position.
Mrs DOucst, not at all afraid, continue
no address him, IN French, saying, Don
Won know me any more, GerOme?' GeTOm'
rhap turned toward her again and looked
, her full IN the face. We in the other room

Of his great strength, 1t Is possible he may
have injured himself trying to break away

that. He certainly held himself very erect.
even when sitting. I couldn't say II he had
had military training They say so many
things about Gerome that l don't know
what to believe. Some say the ship he
came on was very big. and that's why they
think It was man-o'-war l forgot to
say that he seemed very fond OF my
mother. When she died he went to her
bed and examined her feet and toes, and
when he was satisfied she was really dead
the tears rolled down his cheeks and ne
took the cross in his arms and sat by her
a long time He would never read or WRITE
He must be now about seventy-flve years
old"
When did you last see GeromeT'
About ten years ago. l had not seen
Omaha daily bee., 1906-12-30

looking down. on, yes, he could walk very
well after his legs healed. When we were
alone together he would play with me and
could run as fast l could"
Did he ever laugh?"
Il saw him half laugh once, ana that
was one OF the times he spoke, too. A
young colored woman in the neighborhood
who was going to be married stopped in at
our house beforehand 10 show US how she
looked. When Gerome saw her l noticed
him laughing. After the colored woman
had gone We asked him what he had
laughed at, and he said, The white flowers
on the black face. Another time he spoke
when we were making candy. He said
Give me some tafry.' He always spoke as
n he had forgotten himself and always
showed signs Of fear afterward, but never
50 much, as l said before, as when he told
us the name OF the ship"
How were his manners in those irst
years.
He had good manners. PARTICULAR,
about eating. He always bowed when W.
gave him food at FIRST. He was fond o,
soup, He would drink only clear water
never tea, coffee or liquor A doctor once
tried to give him whiskey TO loosen hi,
tongue, as they say. Ger6me would no.
touch It, muttering a word which my
father said meant medicine. And he va.
always afraid OF medicine.
HIS FEAR OF DRUGS.
I'VE thought possibly he had once beer
drugged-maybs II was some thing they
gave him before the opera ton. And may b,
the reason he was always so fond OF IN,
heat Of the sun and OF the stove was OF
account OF his suffering 50 from the cole
the night ne was left on the shore. h,
used to wash his hands a great deal
have seen him wash and wash and wash
/ Ger5me once told ME his legs had beer
hurt by chains and mat they had beer
cut on on a table. No, / did not ask hin
whether the chains were those used in IN,
working ut tar ship 10Y whe'he- he hat
Omaha daily bee., 1906-12-30

and he answered right away II was the
Colombo. Then he turned asny and trem-
bled violently and showed much more fear
even than before. For this reason We
thought he had given the right name.
With US children he would not be so care
full about keeping silent. When we were
alone together he would tell us the names
Of things in foreign languages. Water was
aqua, he once said to me, and blanco Is
another word remember. / do not know
II he could speak Spanish.
II don't think my stepfather could either.
When Gerome talked 10 us children that
way we would tell our parents when they
came In. and my father would say:-'Now,
Gerome, you talk 10 the children, why
won't you talk to me- But he would only
mutter No He was fond Of children, We
would put little children on his lap. and
he would pat them on the head, but would
not look up.
AT FIRST he would sleep an day and stay
up all night. He would go up to the roof
or out OF doors in the middle Of the night
and look at the ocean and then gaze for a
long time at the stars. One night when
he was looking al the stars my stepfatheI
tried TO brighten him. He put a sheet over
some sticks. and put them alongside OF
him suddenly. GeT6me looked at the OBJ
ject quietly, then went into the house, but
returned TO regard II again. My father
then went to him and said:-Ger6me, that
is the devn.' Gerome replied, The devil
Is not white, and then went into the house
and stayed there I do not think he ever
came out TO look at the stars after that.
We thought his work must have been a
night 10 get him into this habit of sleep,
ing In the daytime and staying up al
night. but after a while he fell into our
habits. once / saw him asleep on the
grass at noon and his eyes seemed 10 be
open and staring right at the sun"
Did a surgeon ever examine him as e
his sanity"
I 4 don't know. He was never III and no
body knew what 10 make OF him. Yes. hs

some other languages. | have heard him
pray in Latin. He must have been a
Roman Catholic; he had a crucitx when
he was found and he used to make the
sign Of the cross"
When you heard him say ais prayers
IN Latin was his voice mumoling and
weak OF was It strong?'
He had a good, clear voice. Oh, he
could talk, there is no doubt about that,
but he didn't want to talk; why I could
never understand. Several times when
he was absent minded he spoke before
he could catch himself. once my father
asked him suddenly where he came from
and he said Trieste Then he turned
pale and showed great fear and would
not speak any more for a long time He
seemed frightened after each of these
few times he spoke. Particularly one
time. That was one night when he seemed
quiet and happy and my father asked him
what was the name of the ship he came in
