The Earthquake.

The severest earthquake that has been
known here for 25 years was felt last
Wednesday at $50 p. m. and lasted
about nine seconds. Houses were shaken
so violently that dishes ratified and door
bells rung, while there was a distinct
rumbling for several seconds Many
people realized at once it was an earth
quake, while Others who felt the jar
thought it was caused by snow sliding
from the root A few people were alarm
ed and others did not notice it all. The
strange part of the phenomenon was
that its area was so limited. Only the
adjacent towns felt the shock and no
other portion of New England was
visited.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Curtallment of Session Causes msig.
nlhcant Trading.

New York, June 26.-The decision
to pay tribute to the memory Of eX-
President Cleveland by ending the
stock exchange session at l o'clock to-
day served to further curtail the al
ready shrunken proportions Of the
dealings In stocks. The session was
insignificant in every way. Fluctua-
tons In prices were narrow and shift
Ing IN an uncertain manner. The
days Incidents were little calculated
to stir the market from its apathy.
The redundant condition Of the money
market gives promise of being In
creased by the weeks continued in
flow OF cash to New York and hor-
rowing terms are so easy as to offer
no urgency TO holders Of securities to
realize on them, At the same time
demand for securities is we'll nigh
stagnant The market, in consequence,
Is almost deadlocked, The only sem
blance of activity occurred just at the
close, when prices enjoyed an uplift
that placed half dozen Of the lead
ers point or more over last nights
level. The New York Trust compan-
les are withdrawing from the banks
tho amount of cash necessary to es-
tahlsh the 10 per cent. reserve level
made obligatory upon them by the law
on July / This will call for an
amount estimated at s20,Oo0,oOo and
this may account for the rather firm
er tone OF the money market. After
July the show Of frmness In the
money market is expected to relax
again Bonds were Irregular. Total
sales par value, $4,000. I. S.
bonds were unchanged on call.

FEAST OF THE GARLANDS.

The marriage market Cor fair) which was held recently at Ecaus- sines in Belgium has many counter parts elsewhere.
 In several. of the more remote Swiss cantons, for example, there is held what is known as the feast of the garlands. The marriageable maidens assemble at sunset, sing. dance and make merry. Each wears a chaplet of flowers on her forehead and carries a nosegay tied with bright colored ribbon in her hands.
 If land Is attracted by a maid he plucks a flower from her bunch. She pretends not to notice, but when the merrymaking breaks up at dawn. she will, if she reciprocates his feel ings, tie the entire bouquet by the rib bon to the handle of the door of the cabin wherein he resides or alterna- lively fling it through the open case ment of his bedchamber.
 The famous Tunis marriage mart, of which so much has been written, Is held twice a year, in the spring and the autumn. The Tunisian girls attend in their hundreds, each with

John Mitchell. the retired labor leader, will stand neutral in this campaign. He announces that he will make no speeches for Bryan or anyone else, having accepted the po- sition of chairman of the trade agree ment department of the national civic federation, with a salary of s5,O00 a year. This trade agreement po!- icy, says one writer, is to carry out the Hanna idea that as the trade un- ions. organized into a federation, is a labor trust, there should be agree ments made between it and the indus trial trusts to control the price of la bor and products. The basis of the agreement being you tickle us and we'll tickle you" by dividing the tar if swag between us. The people who have to pay the trust high prices for products and labor are the poor geese that are being plucked with the least squawk possible.
