New York, October 24.-There was a
marked contraction in the volume CT
transactions at the stock exchange ana
corresponding sluge; hness in the
movement Of prices too y. There was
general assumption t. t bankers and
strong f1nanciers felt C1posed TO an
active speculation 1t lis time and
stood prepared to offer measures TO Oh
Struct any efforts to stimulate il.
The beginning CT the London settle
ment was watched with keen interest
owing to the fears that have been
felt that an Over-extended account III
American securities would be disclosed
there and would be forced out by last
weeks rise in the Bank of England
rate. The rates for carrying over hold
ings into the next account were stiff
according to London reports, rising to
s and per cent. on Americans. There
was also very active demand demand
for cable transfers in the New York
exchange in connection with the set
tlement, which made it evident that
the account in Americans was being
largely reduced.
Developments in the money and eX-
change markets were rather mixed.
Money On call was easier here again.
There was more confidence in the eff
fectiveness of the trasury masure for
stimulating the bank note issues in re-
lieving the money market. The sub
treasury shows a considerable with
drawal from the banks since the last
bank statement but this is on ac-
count Of the return of gold received
from abroad which had been advanced
to the banks while in transit. Transfer
was made at New Orleans through the
sub treasury of 100000, and New York
exchange fell to 35 cents discount at
Chicago again. On the other hand
$1.000,0OO in gold was received from
Canada.
Occasional upward movements OF
special stocks met with selling and the
undertone of the dull market was
heavy. The western storm and reports
of concerted demands upon the rail-
roads by switchmen were of some eff
feet in the depression. The announce
ment of the increase in the Norfolk
& Western dividend was taken advant-
age of to sell the general list and the
closing was weak but still dull. Bonds

Moses lived for a few days. in the noun
tain with Cod when ne came down from
the mountain his face was shining with
the reflected light of the eternal. He
looked upon God. and his face was ra-
diant"
Hawthorne has left on record a story of
transformation by vision in his The Great
Stone Face" There was a great stone face
on the side OF a mountain overlooking the
village where young man lived. The face
had a local prophecy concerning it, that
some day a pure and noble man bearing
an exact resemblance to the great stone
face would come to the village and be
blessing to everybody. This prophecy sunk
into the youths soul He would go out
and look up at the stone face and think
upon that face and what it stood for So
he began 10 be a toiler for the good of his
village. he tried to be himself what the
great stone face would wish him to be. AS
the young man grew old, and the gray
about his face was like the mists about the
face In the mountains the people began
TO say. The prophecy is fulhlled, the man
resembling the great stone face is with

called that Immediately after his election
the first pilgrimage he received was conn

Bishop GabrieIs read an address in which
he said the church was making rapid strides
in the United States, due to the complete
freedom which she enjoyed and the good
will OF the American civil authorities. Bish-
CD Gabriels quoted President Roosevelt as
saying to him, on hearing that the bishop
was to conduct pilgrimage to Rome:
Tell the pope that send him my pro-
found regards. have tried TO treat Protest
ants and Catholics alike. as my latest APP
pointments show. l Will try to perpetuate
this policy This republic will stand for
many century. expect that there will be
Catholic presidents as well as Professionals.

THE ANGEL GABRIEL
WOULD Do-PERHAPs

The faculty OF a large Protestant theo-
logical seminary received some years ago
q. letter in which the Inhabitants OF small
town in Kansas applied to them for young
clergyman to take charge of their spiritual
education. The long and formidable array
OF qualifications which the minister must
possess. and the extremely meager salary
attached to the position, threw the good
doctors OF the faculty into something akin
to despair. After much thought one sug-
gested that the reply should run thus:
f'The only man of whom we know who
could satisfy you is our reverend college
president, now dead some few years and
who. having accustomed himself to heaven
ly food (air) could perhaps exc out a bare
subsistence upon the salary which you
propose" This. after due elaboration. was
rejected, and the next proposal listened TO:
We know of no one. excepting the Apostle
Paul. who approaches to your standard of
ptety. he might preach OF Sunday and get
his living by saii-making on week days"
This was at length also rejected. and the
following reply finally hit upon and dis
patched: 1--WE know OF no man upon earth
good enough for you. or who could posi-
bly, live on the salary you mention We
therefore advise you 70 make an EFFORT 70
seoure the angel Gabriel. who could board
In heaven and come down Sundays to
preach.

matter was laid before Post ONCE Inspector
G. V. Craighead In Pittsburg Monday and
he is Investigating
For many months churchgoers of west
ern Pennsylvania have been annoyed by re-
ceiving letters containing the following
prayer:
20, Lord Jesus Christ. we implore Thee.
o, Eternal God. to have mercy on all man
kind. keep US from sin by Thy precious
blood and take US to be with Thee eter-
nally Amen
With the prayer the person In receipt of
the letter would receive an admonition NOT
TO fail TO send 1t TO nine other persons with
Instructions for each OF those nine to send
a letter with the prayer to nine others
Each letter threatened dire results to the
person who failed to carry out the instruc-
tons.
The matter was laid before Inspector
Craighead. who says the method Is a clear
violation of the postal laws. He said If
the names of the senders were placed In his
hands he would enter suits. Hundreds of
persons throughout that section have re-
ceived the letters.
