FRENZIED RELIGION
Leads to the Death of a Man in New
York.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. November 9.-A!bert
Tucker, an Englishman, who lived with
his wife at 223 West Goth street. either
threw himself or fell from the window
of his apartment on the fifth floor into
the areaway some time during the night
while his wife slept and was killed. His
body was discovered by his wife when she
awoke and searched for him early this
morning. Mrs Tucker declares her huS-
band was the victim of his peculiar reli-
gious views.
Tucker, according to his wifes story
was devotee of Mohammedism and
Dowieism combined and the performance
ofAthe rites of these cults led him to do
some very queer things. 1t was often his
custom to get up in the night or early
morning and pray at the window with his
face to the east after the Mohammed
custom, and at these times he would
work himself into a religious frenzy. His
wife believes he fell from the window in
one of these religious attacks.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

The local stock market as the result OF
today's session sh owed no change as COM
pared with recent days. at least In the
quotations. The amount of trading also
remained about the same. and the only
alteration In the situation as far as could
be discovered was that the brokers con-
tinue to regard the outlook as much i'm
proved as to the general market.
A better tone IN the wider field Is what
Is believed Is needed In order to restore
the local market to It's customary place
as a center Of active business, as there is
no other known reason for q lack OF In
terest in the securities listed on the ex

principal agencies in the business life OF
the city. such as the banks, trust COM
pantes. fire insurance companies and the

TRADE OVER COUNTRY
DUN REPORTS GIVE VARYING
CONDITIONS OF COMMERCE.

NEW YORK, November 9.-Dispatc tches
to Duns Review indicate that trade con-
ditions are irregular. conflicting reports
being received from different parts of the
country. 1t is evident that the financial
stringency is having a depressing effect,
but less severe in some sections than
others Boston reports a slight improve
ment in trade conditions. notwithstand-
ing the monetary stringency, dry goods
5obbers receiving large volume OF
business for immediate delivery. and
there Is a more confident feeling that re-
tail stocks are being reduced. Manufac-
turers are generally well occupied, and
collections are more prompt. but whole
sale business continues slow. Financial
conditions at Philadelphia continue to
limit local trade, and collections are slow.
but manufacturers are generally busy.
Trade Is active at Pittsburg. especially
as to shipments OF coal. but some reduc-
ton Is reported In output on iron and
steel.
Wholesale lines are fairly active at
Baltimore. but collections are slow, and
retail trade only fair. Demand for lum-
Der and building material IS light, but
those Of year ago. Atlanta reports no
financial disturbance although local
banks restrict the withdrawal OF cur
rency. Cotton moves a little more freely,
but most of the crop is still in the hands
Of planters.
Fair Degree in the South.
Trade Is satisfactory at Louisville al
though settlements ara delayed by the
scarcity of money. New Orleans reports
favorable trade conditions. although the
stringency causes conservatism and col
lections are only fair. Retail bIsine ess
Is active at Kansas City. and jobbers re-
port a large aggregate for October. Mall
orders have decreased slightly a st
Louis, and collections are most satisfac-
tory. but general trade maintains a fair
degree Of activity.
Trade proceeds satisfactorily at Chi
cago considering the difficulties inter-
posed by stringent money. Conservatism
in undertaking new enterprises anu ac-
commodating borrowers Is not likely to be
relaxed until financial affairs have be-
come more settled, but necessary renew
ais will be made for legitimate needs.
Jobbing trade Is satisfactory at Detroit
and collections are fair, but monetary
stringency curtails orders with manu-
facturers. Retail trade Is fair at Gin
cinnati.

Compliments Aler Death.

There Is German proverb which
says, "Man DART nur sterben um gelobt
zu werden" eve need only die in order
to get praised). This, we cannot help
but admit, is fairly true In general
sense, and If we required any proof or
confirmation the epltaphs in Gene
teries, churchyards and churches
would readily furnish it. Indeed If we
had no other testimony to go by than
these pious Inscriptions we might al
most fancy that men and women had
arrived at such state of perfection
that they were little less than angels.
Death, like time, Is great healer OF
wounds. great soother Of passions, a
great calmer Of turbulent thoughts, a
slayer of enmity. He Is the peace
maker par excellence, having caused
tho saying to gain general currency
that we should say nothing of the dead
but what is good. Among the laws of
the ''Twelve Tables" compiled by the
Decemviri, there was one which, in
fact, forbade to speak injuriously of
the dead. 1t is In exchange for this
doubtless that we are always doubly
anxious and ready to vilify the living

A Spuraeon Ruse.

Spurgeon, the famous English d.
vine, once passed stonemason who,
after each stroke of his hammer, ours
cd and swore. Mr.. Spurgeon laid his
hand on his shoulder and, looking kind
" at him, said: "You are an adept at
swearing. Can you also pray?'
With another oath he replied, mot
very likely"
Holding up shillings, Mr.. Spurgeon
said If he would promise never to pray
he would give him that.
'"That is easily earned" said the
man, with fresh oath, and put it in
his pocket. When Spurgeon left the
man began to feel little queer. When
he went home his wife asked him what
allied him, and he told her. 1T is Ju-
das' money" said the man, and on a
sudden impulse he threw it into the
fire. The wife found it and took it
out and discovered who had given it
to him. The man took it back to Spur
geon, who conversed long with him,
warning him, and at length was the
means Of saving him. He became an
attached member of his flock.
