Trading on Misfortune.

One woman is making a good income
ton sales, cleaning them and advertis-
ing that a widow, compelled to. sacri-
fee household furnishings, will dispose
of her antique Persian and Turkish
rugs for a mere song.
Tho she makes good profit, persons
who buy of her are rarely dissatisfied
with their bargains, Sand really her
wares. after her treatment of them, are

sist that the dining room have south
and east exposures, giving it the morn
ing sun and shelterin1g it from the late
afternoon sun, which is very annoying
when at meals. An especial point
should be made Of the dining room, as
it, is, after all, the daily reunion room
of the family, and it is frequently neg
lected in the designing Of small houses:
While the kitchen must be bright and
airy it can we'll afford to take the cooler
side of the house.
The hall should properly divide the
house, and the dining room and living
room or parlor should not, as rule,
open together, for while it is pleasant at
times, the noise incident to the prepar-
atom. and clearing away of meals is
something to be avoided If possible:
DO not try to have your house differ
ent from every other house in color;
this ambition has ruined many an at
tractive locality. Similarly, do not
expect to have the details Of interior
finish entirely different from other peo-
pie 8 unless you are willing to pay well
for individual designs, with which you
will probably be dissatisfied.
Light wall papers will serve to make
the interiors Of narrow city houses more
cheerful. By the use Of bright cana

Of these house lifted out .of the dullness
common to such rooms.
Artistic interiors do mot depend SO
much as many seem to think on elab-
crate and highly finished woodwork and
ornamentation. In fact, more houses
are ruined by too much ornament than
by too little; consequently, we would
do well to be guided somewhat by the
Japanese in the treatment of our
homes. Simple wall treatment of plain
subdued colors, which we can approach
in our plain, papers, is altogether adj
mirable. IF ornament must be had,
let it be very small in quantity and
very good in quality.

PROGRESS.

Widespread religious awakening in various
parts of the world may be regarded as a sign
of the times. Not only in evangelical commu-
mites but in pagan and papal countries awak-
enings that have affected the entire populace
have been noted. In India, Burma and China.
in Korea, Japan and Africa the Philippines
and Madagascar, i'm the West Indies and Orkney
Islands, as well as in Italy France Germany
and Norway, religious movements of extraor-
binary extent and power have occurred.

converts remain true to their profession, and
new accessions are being constantly made.

further instruction in the realities Of the new

The Torrey-AleXander work in England has
been memorable one Its influence has gone
out from the great centres to affect the entire
English people. The labors of DR.. Chapman
in various centres of pouIaton have given new
emphasis to gospel truth and holy living and
led thousands to profession Of their faith
More important than all these is the steady
activity of the Christian Church at large with
its clear testimony its abiding faith, it's spirit

prevail however impcrGccly, in the life of the
Church to-day.

EXCEPTIONAL UNITY.

1t is probable that no other large and nAu-
entail body Of Christians in our whole land has
been characterized by such harmony Of convc-
ton on questions Of doctrinal truth, church pol
ity and efficiency in Christian work, as that
which marks our Southern Presbyterian
Church Minor points of interest have arisen,
have been debated and finally adjusted but
substantially, especially in the department of
doctrnal beliefs, the sentiment of the Church
has been uniform throughout. Nothing in the
future should be allowed to disturb the COM
pactness of our organization, the symmetry of
our church life, or the harmony Of our con
viction.

DIR. HERBERT II. HALVES
The Rev. Herbert II. Halves, ID. d., an es-
teemed minister of our Church in Virginia, died
at Chatham, Va, on Friday morning, Jan. 10,
1906 He had gone from his home in Char
lottesvile to supply the pulpit of the Presby-
terrain church at Chatham, and was there taken
with double pneumonia Away from home
he received the best of care and was nursed by
his brother from Richmond until the end came.
DR.. Halves was born Jan. 81 1884, in Lun-
enburg county, Va. He received his theological
education at the Theological Seminary of the
Reformed Church, Dutch, at New Brunswick,
N. j. and was ordained in 1862 by the Pres
bytery of East Hanover, pastor of the Namo-
zine church, in Amelia county, Va His minis
try was in Virginia entirely: at MI. Horeb,
Augusta county, 1867-1871 at Farmville, 1871
1891; as evangelist of the Synod of Virginia,
1891-1896; at Bedford City, 1897. For several
years he has resided at Bluefeld first and then
at Charlottesville, and has been most acceptable
the supply of a number Of vacant pulpits.
Through his ministry, Dr. Halves has been dill
gent in the use Of his pen in the service of
Christ and his Church. He was author of ''Let-
icrs of an Enquirer" Baptism Mode Studies"
"The Abrahamic Covenant" "Bbe Church
Studies" etc. He had filed out his three
score and ten, with faithful and useful life.

years at Salisbury. He born in Cabarrus
county and educated at Davidson College,

was ordained by Concord Presbytery in 1857,
and installed pastor of the Salisbury church in
1860 He was richly blessed in this long and
fruitful pastorate. He was active and use

before the Church 1t would seem that the
time is at hand for considering this proposal
as has been done, in fact with entire Difference
to that able body of men appointed to represent
the Church in It's consideraton-that in its ad-
lustrnent the same strength and efficiency of
organization may be maintained and the
same fidelity to cherished principles may be
preserved.
On the one hand we have in the Church those
who are deeply impressed with the need of such
concurrence with other churches in Christian
work as will eliminate friction, avoid waste of
energy and enlist the best efforts of both in
the most effective way. In home mission ter
ritOry where several of the churches are repre-
sented, it is exceedingly desirable to have con
cert of action. In the department of education
there is a wide field for cooperation, especially
in the rapidly growing West. In the foreign
field much has been done already and much
more is in prospect, in the way of or
ganzng the forces of the churches for the ac-
complshment of the largest results. In other
departments, such as colored evangelzation and
the publication of religious literature, substan-
tial results may be obtained.
The Church as such, through its General AS
sembly is committed to the principle of CO.
operation, and the time seems favorable for
applying the principle IA larger scale. To
this we believe our Church as a body will give
its hearty approval
Again there are those who place emphasis
upon maintaining the independence of the
Church in It's organic life and who oppose
any alliance which, in form or principle, in
wolves subsection to the authority Of any other
ecclesiastical organization either in shaping its
convictions Its policy, or in the prosecution
Of its work AS expressed by prominent mem
Der of the last Assembly, Il am opposed to the
surrender of any Of our power to any other
ecclesiastical body"
The deep and earnest conviction OF these
brethren-calm and consecrated, strong in num-
bers, talents and influence, should be regarded
in the adjustment of this question. The COW
cnant relations of the whole Church are of such
a nature as to secure this end, so long coy
enant VOWS are respected. And to say fine
least. it would be poor policy to attempt to
pledge the conscience of men to the support of
principles which they do not believe and of
practices which they do not approve. Princi-
palities and powers, in days gone by, have made
such attempts and have failed
The ends of fraternity and fellowship, OF
concerted effort and effective service, of "the
unity Of the Spirit in the bond of peace can
be secured, consistently with the conscientious
convictions of the entire Church.

Operations at the Bluestone.

Quite crew of miners is now
engaged in running big tunnel
on the Bluestone. This tunnel
will be a working tunnel about 7
feet high by IL feet wide and will
tap the ore bodies in the mine at a
depth of 200 feet. Through this
tunnel the entire mine will be
worked, and it is understood that
an electric plant on the river will
furnish power to run cars in the
tunnel and an electric hoist to ex-
tract ore from the levels below the
tunnel. Superintendent Week
has an ad. in this issue for con-
tractors on this work. 1t looks as
though the Bluestone people were
getting ready to operate the mine
on an extensive scale.

DIVIDEND IN AMALGAMATED

New York, January 1S-The trading in
stocks today for the most of the time
was not up to yesterdays rate of actlv-
ity, and the market fell into positive dull
ness at times. An excellent medium for
marketing stocks was offered, neverthe-
less, and the profit taking was indus
triously pursued under cover of the sus-
tanning force OF the strong features Of
the trading. Explanations of the move
ments In special stocks were mostly Of
the nature of rumor, which failed of any
authentic confirmation. 1t was rather OBJ
vious that the Speculation was based on
general causes, and condition, while the
rumors regarding the individual stocks
were due to attempts to divert the spec
ulatve interest into special channels A
very large number of dormant Industrial
stocks as specialties, were awakened into
activity and made prominent advances.
OF the more substantial standard stocks
the feature of the day was the renewal
OF the recent active speculation in Read
ing. This was a striking counterpart of
the reversion into Union Pacific. and the
smelling stocks yesterday. Much of the
activity in Reading was traceable to
the same sources as that winch accom-
panied its long advance In the hands of

new record above 149. Meantime there

Today at a time wien the upward trend
of the market was meeting with some
show Of resistance on the part Of local
bears, Theodore H Price wired to his
friends thatshe had covered his shorts and
would give his reasons later.
This was taken rightly or wrongly to
mean that Mr.. Price had turned bull. and
the effect upon the market was instan-

Of spots and $50 bales to arrive. on the
basis of 11A for middling. BY far the most
important developments In the market to-
day was the announcement by Mr.. Price
that he had covered his shorts. Such ac-
ton on his part was not altogether unex.
pected by those who have kept in touch
with the situation In New York since the
cotton started, but the fact that Mr..

In New York but also in Liverpool made
his announcement a very significant feat

Gilbert & Claws Market letter.

Nothing but encouragement came from
the English market this morning where
the tendency was distinctly downward.
Our openings were practically at un-
changed figures and selling was In evil
dence, but later in the session the news
was more favorable, and the covering of
shorts with fresh buying by longs carried
the market up a dollar per bale from
the low points of the day.
Price was reported to have covered and
was said to be ready to leave ON a trip
to California. His reports from corre-
spondents on the ginners figures up to
the 10th Indicate a total of less than
995O,0O0, and 1t was rumored that he had
companyng this was the statement that
he is out of the market for the time being.
Spots in New York were marked up
10 points and the Indications are for sales
fair in volume in New Orleans, with an
upward tendency.
1t remains to be seen If Liverpool will
follow the bullish tendencies OF today
markets on this side.
If 1t be true that the shorts have largely
eliminated their commitments by today 8
trading, the market will lack support
from that quarter until a new line Is
put out and will have to depend largely
upon new buying for continued advance.
Notwithstanding the small port re-
ceipts for the same day last year, the fig
ures today are over two thousand bales
below, and IL seems reasonable to expect
bullsh comparison from this time on.
