actions here after the first few minutes
reflected increased uneisiness in London
and on the continent. There was q
show Of strength following opening de-
clines but the improvement lasted only
few minutes. London houses appeared
SIS heavy sellers of all the international
shares causing declines. At the end Of
the frat hour the market was very un-
settled and feverish. 1t was generally
commented thst the downward move
ment was due wholly TO the mora ur-
favorable tone of cables from the 9th, Z
side.
There was steadier tone to the market
later following the vigorous selling by
London. Later In the forenoon A mod
crate recovery started with some ag0res-
siye buying.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 7, 1908.

DRAWING large, cheering crowds all
day in the course OF his travels through
Iowa. Mr.. W. ]. Bryan hurled defiance
at his opponents and challenged them to
meet his arguments. Fifteen speeches
and hsndshakiug with thousands cor
stitated his days work, the concluding
speech being made at Cedar Rapids last
night in the Auditorium, which Was filed
to overfJwing long before he was sched-
uled to arrive. Previously to going to
the hall he was serenaded at the hotel
and he addressed an immense tbrong
from the balcony. The keynote of bis
principal remarks at Cedar Rapids wss
that republican policies meant disaster,
while democratic policies meant pros
perity. On this subject he said:
The democratic party is absolutely
necessary 10 ieltCrs prosperity. The re.
publican party has hsd its chance and
IL has failed. We are bow 10 the mlos'
of depression for which natural condi-
lions furnish no excuse, Artificial con-
ditions are responsible for the present
business prostrstioD, and those artificial
conditions originated 10 republican poll
oies. The business failures for the nine
months ended on SEPTEMBER 80 were
1913 in number and the liabilities
amounted to $179,000,0OO. 1t means
thst if the assets are worth, in fact, the
amount at which they are placed, there
will still be a loss Of $50, 900, 900 to &C
count for. This tremendous loss comes
at a time when nature has not withheld
h bouny. 1t comes when the repuo'
licans are in complete control. They
have president whom they eulogize 10
their platform, Senate completely 10
the hands Of the republican party and a
republican House of Representatives
dominated by deePotic speaker.
That Mr. Bryan set forth facts ard
figures which cannot be rtfated must be
apparent TO all fair.minded persons.

ALEXANDER MACKAY-SMITH, bishop
cosdiot1r of Pennsylvanis, with Mira.
Macksy-Smith, returning from attend
ing the Lambeth conference of the Pro-
tsstaDt Episcopal Church, held at Lon
don, arrived in New York yesterday
from Earope, "What is the greatest
evil with which the church is called on
to contend?" he was asked. "Worldh-
ness" was bis reply. "TOO much
money, too much prosperity. Too
much eplcursanism, too much fine raj
ment, too many fast autos" "Whst is
the remedy p the bishop was asked.
The latter replied: "Preaching Of the
old time Gospel. l do not mean to
preach hell, FIRE and birthstone, but do
mean that the preacher should have
them in mind when he addresses his
congregation" The above will have but
little effect upon the rank and file Of tie
church militant, most Of whom cannot
blind themselves to the fact that many
church dignitsries generally enjoy ever =
thing in the way of luxury the world
brings forth.

In the Service of God.

Within the short space of two
months just five young women of the
cathedral parish have given up their
homes and their worldly pleasures to
engage in the service of religion.
The development of religious voca-
tons among the finest young women
of the congregation is possibly due to
the influence of the Young Women s
sodality, which was never in such a
splendid condition as at the present
time. 1t is a mute proof of the spir-
itual good being derived from the as
sociation by its members.
All Of the aSpirants for religious life
are leaving good homes, and some of
them homes Of luxury, to devote their
lives to toll in the vineyard of the
Lord. A little over month ago Miss
Marie WeisenhOrn went to the novi-
tiate of the Sisters of Charity of the
Blessed Virgin at Dubuque Ia; Miss
Mamie Boyle of East Colfax avenue
left last week for the novitiate Of the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd at St
Paul Miss Alice Shirk left two weeks
previously for the same place, with the
same end in view. Miss Nellie Hickey
chose the Sisters of Charity at St Jo-
seph's, Cincinnati, for her new home.
She enters the order which for years
has supplied the Immaculate COncep-
ton and Sacred Heart parochial
schools with teachers. Miss Elizabeth
Eikoff, a niece of John Hesse, is an
other members Of the Young Womens
sodality to choose life in a convent.
She went to the Dominican order.
A letter from Miss Shirk conveying
an idea Of the happiness she has found
in her new life was read at the month
ly sOdality meeting Sunday evening
and created enthusiasm among the
friends Of the postulant
