The Benardites Of Jamaica.
I'm the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
There is probably no other race in the
world so enthusiastic over religion and who
enter SO heartily into its forms and cere-
monies as the negroes. They seem to lose
all thought Of their surroundings and throw
themselves body and soul into their own Pc
culiar forms Of worship.
In Jamaica there Is very large religious
sect called, after their leader. Benardites.
Four times a year the followers Of Bernard
are baptized in the water of the river Mona.
Hundreds of these religious enthusiasts
meet on the banks Of the river before day
break, and as many as 600 have been dipped
in a single morning. The price Of a dip
ping Is a shilling, so that at the rate of 600
a quarter the income to the leader and his
church is tidy little

gold-embroidered banners and silken
streamers waving above the long line of
men and women they march, singing. to the

groes make up the long swaying and wind
ing procession, which sings as it moves and
eventually enters the church doors or dis
tributes itself outside near windows and
doors.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, July 20.-The stock exchange
has experienced generally week of quiet
trading, and although the undertOne keeps
steady, majority of the quotations today
are fractionaly lower than last Saturday.
The Egyptian trouble. although less acute.
still has an unfavorable effect, both there
and in Paris, while the fresh calls of capt.
tai, notably the Indian loan and the South
Manchurian railway loan for G4,O00,O0O, dis
turbed the gilt-edged section, and in spite
of government purchases for sinking fund
purposes, cOnsols finished the week with a
small net loss. Outside buyers are still
holding off, and with rumors of further is
sues waiting to come on the market the
outlook for an advance in prices is not en-
cOuraging.
The monetary situation in New York i'm
proved so considerably that discount houses
here relaxed somewhat their attitude
against finance bills, but notes Of warning
against a material reduction in the rates
being sounded by various financial au-
thorties with a view to the autumn none
tary requirements and the possibilities of
short crops everywhere creating unexpected
demands for gold.
Americans and copper shares were the
most active sections of the market during
the week. The drop in New York of copper
prices and the sharp weekend recovery in
the metal here brought quotations on cop
per shares, after wild fluctuations, near to
the level of last Saturday.
American rails have been persistently
supported by the professional bulls, who
successfully overcame considerable bear
pressure and put prices of Union Pacific
seven and of other active issues from one to
three dollars dearer on the week. Local
operators here doing practically moth
ing beyond moderate continental buying.
The business is entirely in the hands of the
Wall street operators, with the daily move
ments governed by New York.

THE RHEA.
The Bird That Lays the Previous
Golden Egg.

Golden Egg.
From the New York Tribune.
At last 1t has come to pass! The bird
that lays the golden egg has been found in
the Bronx Geological Park. This bird, while
not the one which all the children have
read about in Grimm's tales Of the fairy
folk, Is nevertheless the proud sponsor to
an egg which is golden In color and worth
almost its weight in the precious metal.
1t all came about yesterday afternoon
when Jack Flynn. the keeper who looks
after the welfare Of the ostriches and other
birds Of that species. In searching about
the ostrich run came upon a large oval,
golden hued object lying in little hollow
of hot sand. Flynn quickly recognized 1t
as the egg Of some large bird. but. never
having seen just such a one, he took 1t to
c. William Beebe. the curator Of birds in
the Bronx Geological Garden. who pro-
nounced it the egg of the rhea.
Mr.. Beebe declared that the rhea has
never been known before to have laid an
egg in captivity in this country. although
three four have been produced In the
London Zoo. and on this account the egg
laid on Saturday is valued all the more.
When the egg was discovered by Flynn
the male rhea, which is first cousin to the
ostrich family. and, like the domestic hen
sits on the eggs and matches them, was
greatly perturbed when it saw the precious
egg about to be carried away by the keeper.
and made desperate efforts to prevent its
removal, beating Flynn with Its powerful
wings and emitting a loud. booming sound.
Mr. Beebe had the egg transferred to the
great incubator, where 1t will be carefully
guarded and in five six weeks 1t Is
hoped. there will be an addition to the rhea
family.
The rhea is a native of South America.
where it ranges over the open. treeless
plains, heading together with droves of
deer and gunacos. and feeding on grass and
berries. The egg now In the incubator is
valued at $500.

NEW YORK. July 20-The Ffnancier
says: Last weeks official statement of the
New York associated banks was of such a
character, as regards cash gain. as to be
more reconcilable with estimates which
were based upon the traceable movement
or money during the week than have been
recent exhibits. Moreover, the changes in
the ioan and IN the deposit items seemed
10 renect the generally expected conditions
resulting from bank operations in the week,
so that the surplus reserve was reasonably
augmented The cash gain as reported by
the statement was $2i6s,9Oo: this was due
largely to subtreasury operations
General deposits increased 81 231 500; this
was about 100000 less than the sum of
the increase in loans plus the gain In cash.
but the discrepancy may be accounted for
by the reduction Of about 81 300 900 in the
public deposits caused by their surrender
