BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK Sept. N.-The check to yes
terday's reaction which developed in the stock
market today was quite distinct, but the hold
ing of the market steady seemed enough to
satisfy those interested in the support OF
prices. Further clearing Of the situation Is
expected, especially the passing OF the quar-
terly requirements on the money market at
the erd of the month. The local money mar
ket remains tranquil as yet. the rates for call
loans especially showing great ease, but
pinch with the turn Of the month Is re-
garded as possibility. In addition to the
regular Requirements to be met In New York
on October / there will fall due an Install
ment OF s11 625, 900 of subscriptions in Northern
Pacific stock The domestic interior also is
beginning to assert its demands for supplies
OF currency as indicated by the rapid decline

treasury had decided to allow the substitution

government bonds now held to secure govern.
ment deposits with the banks on condition that
the government bonds thus released shall be
used to take out additional note circulation.
This was device employed by Secretary
Shaw, but there is no official confirmation of
the report of Its adoption at this time. The
detailed report Of condition Of national banks
by sections on August 22, reported by the
controllers office at Washington was re-
garded as proving that the interior banks will
be able to command currency shipments from
New York in the usual volume, the middle
western group, for instance showing that
$50, 100000 more is due to banks OF that section
than year ago, with s1O5.5O0,O00 less due by
them to other institutions.
The statement of the treasury operations at
Washington each day does not indicate that
more than $10,000,000 Of government funds has
been freshly deposited with the banks as yet.
while it is estimated that total of s42, GOO
or even $50, 100000 will be available for that
purpose this fall. The avoidance Of severe
stringency, therefore, is still hoped for The
virtual granting of immunity to the Chicago
C Alton in the Standard Oil rebate cases was
of moderate Influence on stocks, as 1t had been
expected. There is renewed weakness OF the
London copper industras, the price of the
metal in New York being reported unchanged
Outstanding short interest in the coppers
helped the recovery. The federal injunction
granted against the Minnesota freight rate
law helped the Hill railroad stocks.

4 sINNBR,s REPEArANcE.

The repentance of noted whist player Is attracting some attention. A dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa, says that before a congregation of nearly 1000 persons, and while the preacher was in the midst of his sermon, Mrs. A. B. Sims, society woman and hold CT of the national woman's whist cham pionship, arose and denounced card playing as a sin. Two years ago Mrs. Sims won the first prize for women in the whist tournament held at Cleve- land. Last year at St. Louis she won the national woman's championship. It is said that recent evangelical meetings are responsible for the change in Mrs. Sims ideas
 It has long been considered a sin to play whist in the way some women do, but as Mrs. Sims has been cham pion perhaps her manner of playing hasn't been sinful, If she has repent ed because she has devoted too much time and thought to whist she has probably done well. When a woman, or man, gets so stack on game of cards, or any other game, that he or she becomes unmindful of the se- rious things of life such absorption Is sinful. It Is also foolish. So 1t is prob able that Mre. sims has set a good ex- ample in her repentance. Continuous card playing is not the road to use fitness, or the road to such Heaven as we have been taught to seek.

aaRNEGIt. THE DREAMER.

Whether 'these are "the last days" or not some of the old men are dreaming dreams. For instance, Andrew Carne- gie in his latest utterance humbly dep- recates the claim of the merely wealthy to fame. They have, he says, no place with educated men and they occupy a lower plane intellectually. In the coming day brains will stand above dollars, and conduct above both. The making of money as an aim will then be rated as an ignoble ambition.
 Well, well, and perhaps tut, tut. Can there ever be a time when money will not be worshipped? Can there ever be a time when those who have a lot of it will not worship themselves and de- mand worship from those who have less or none? And can there ever be a time when those who have lot of money will not easily get worship from those who have less, or none? Can there ever be time when brains will be really respected unless they are used to make money with? And as for con duct, can there ever be time when 1t can be more high and honorable than either brains or money? In short,
 can life in this world ever be on a moral basis, and without hypocrisy and trucking? Brother Carnegie is very rich and seems to have a quiet and thoughtful mind. But he dreams dreams. Perhaps he has been reading the book of dreams in which it says that the meek shall inherit the earth.

Empire. It will certainly admit the working classes to greater influence in affairs of state, and destroy the mega tive shibboleths of Liberalism, as it has already begun to compel non-fos- silized noblemen to enter the democrat io arena as men, not merely as nobles. But above all the presumptions in fav- or of the reform stands the fact that it is primarily the Emperors work, and who but he is the supreme curator and moderator of the destinies of his House and of his peoples interests?
 It will probably be found in the end that universal suffrange wont hurt Austria any more than it has hurt other countries.

THE 4 UsrRIAN SUFFRAGE rAW.

What will the new universal suffrage law in Austria do? Nobody can tell exactly. but the Vienna special corre- s9ondent of the London Times has this to say: Every conceivable argu- ment against the reform was exhaust edin the Upper Chamber, and few even of it's partisans wore their colers gayly. Some, like Count Frany Thur, leader of the Right voted for it with a bleeding heart" Most of the Peers averted their gaze from the possible result of their action, and preferred, with their eyes on the past, to stumble backwards into the future. Yet, what ever it's outcome, universal suffrage may be trusted to vivify, not merely to galvanize, Austrian public life
 Should it lead to an increase in Cleric al influence, that influence can nc longer be purely reactionary, for the Church today in Austria, as else where, cannot afford to seek for weapons in the armory of the Middle Ages. It should render tacit treason more difficult of accomplishment, an( 1t may, perhaps, stimulate the timi6
 current of neo- Austrian feeling already
 observable among some of the young

-------------=-----------------T CHILDREN'S PARTY.

When party Is given for young children the hours should be early, say from three to six. Children under four or five years of age should not stay more than two hours as they are apt to grow tired and fretful when the ex- citement is prolonged. Older children may have later hours but where the majority of the company are under
 twelve or fourteen years from five to nine would be quite suitable,
 The character of the refreshments depends upon the age of the guests but in all cases 1t is advisable that
 they be simple, dlgestible and daintily served. Sandwiches of some kind are a necessity and ice Is always accept able, especially if nodded in individual ferns.
 The sandwiches may be made from Itiny tea biscuits or from bread which lis two days old. Till all crust from
