GAINSIN The MARKET
Prices Show Improvement
Under Heavy Buying.
RISE IN ERIE's SHORT NOTES
Indications Are that a Radical
Change for Better Are Expected in
Affairs Of RaiIrosd-0ner said to
Have Been Made by Z. II. Harri-
man-Fatare Stiu Problem.

New York, April 8-AH day long to-day
the stock market was under the sole con-
troll OF the varying stories, rumors, and
impressions concerning the probabilities Of
the success or failure Of the Erie Rail-
roads financial plan.
The s5.000.000 of the Erie's short term
discount notes matured at o'clock in
the afternoon. and would naturally go to
protest If they we're not paid up to that
time, or Il they were not exchanged for
the company's secured noyes under the
scheme Of readjustment Of the matter as
officially proposed.
The stock market at first to-day opened
firm, under the prevailing belief that the
exchange of the notes would be carried
through, but later on. when the truth be-
came slowly, but not officially, aseertained
that only a relatively small proportion of
obligations were being deposited for ex-
change, and that the plan Of substitution
would almost certainly prove a failure
prices became weak.
Strong Toward Close.
IN the last hour Of business. the market
again strengthened and the Erie discount
notes on the curb market rose under
heavy buying to a figure that indicated
that a radical change for the better OF
some kind had occurred in the Erie situa-
ton, Final prices were generally not far
from the highest Of the day. but most Of
the net gains recorded were fractional.
The exact cause of the improved state
Of affairs as regard Erie was not dis
closed until long after business hours.
the gist Of It being that an offer had
been made by E. H Hartman, acting
as the representative of newly formed
syndicate. TO purchase at par the new
notes that it was proposed TO exchange
for the old discount notes. so that the
holders of the old notes could either ac-
cept payment of the notes in cash or
could, if they wished, receive payment Of
S in cash and the new secured notes
figured at price Of IS.
Future Stin a Problem.
This upshot, of course. stiH leaves the
future Of Erie an unsettled problem to a
greater or less extent. but it is alto
gether unlikely that with the relief thus
extended, any deficit in the Erie's earn
ings that may occur in time near at hand,
at least. will be sufficient 10 bring about
default on any Of the Eries regular
bond issues.
The governments monthly crop report
which was made public at II O'Clock to-
day. did not seem % be in any way
market factor inasmuch as nine-tenths
Of the attention Of the buyers and sellers
Of stocks was solidly eonverged upon
the Erie difficulty But It must be con-
fessed that favorable as the report was,
it was not up to the previous anticipa-
tiOns.

as the birthday dollar she had spent in blue hair

"At first, they seemed to think it strange for
Juliet to give presents her birthday instead of

ing human blood in these heather chapels was more
ntoerable than that from all the slaughter-houses
in CASTLE. Within the walls enclosing the temple
was sacred structure dedicated to the mysterious
Quetzalcoatle "The Fair God" and here too
were the training schools for boys and girls des-
tined for the service of the temple East of the
temple square, and outside the walls, was an i'm

menagerie caging wild animals from the mountain
lands and curious creatures collected from the
great swamps and hot lands of the south In long
boxes of cedar, lined with down, or in troughs of
slime and mud snakes or sacred serpents were pro-
tected. In another quarter of the city stood the
armory, where the military paraphernalia the bows
and arrows, clubs and other weapons of war
were arranged in order. Near the armory was the
national granary and various warehouses; After
the temple the great market was the most conspic-
place in the Aztec city The Spanish historian
Herrera says: "The Spaniards were astonished at
the throng OF people pressing toward the market,
and on entering the place their surprise was still
further heightened by the sight of the multitude
assembled there, and the dimensions of the enclo-
sure, twice as large as the square at Salamanca
Here were traders from all parts; gold and silver
smiths from Azcapozalco, potters and jewellers from
Cholula, painters from Tezcuco stone cutters hunt
ers fishermen. gardeners chair-makers, florists etc
Animals, both domestic and wild, were on sale. and
beside them gang of slaves with collars fastened

published to the world in journals and monthly
magazines, Last week we published list of sub
iects discussed at Episcopal convention held in
Detroit the week previous. There is no mistaking
their attitude towards the Bible as book not in
spired nor even historically true A New Yorker
treated "of Biblical miracles as improbable" Rev.
Paddock of Pennsylvania declared the Bible moth
ing but literature" Rev Bradner of Providence
r. l., said: Preference to the Bible was becoming
sham until the higher critics made it reasonable"
What those higher critics are doing one may learn
from Rt. Rev. Charles D. Williams Protestant
Episcopal Bishop of Michigan in an article pub
lished in the April number of the American Maya
zine. He ranks with the higher critics and his
criticism does away entirely with old Bible. His
school is giving new Bible which is evolved from
the inner consciousness of this progressive and en-
lightened age. We wonder what will come next.

Ihe question Of state rights 6gur-
% prominently in the debate in tho
House today the bill providing pro,
lection Of aliens in the United States
IN accordance with the treaties en-.
tered into with foreign powers. The
bill designed 10 relieve the United
states from what was stated on the
iioor BY Shirley Of Kentucky, to be
THE embarrassing and often hu.
initiating position arising from its in
ability to make good the obligations
Of rs treaties for protection Of for.
eigners in this country" Opponents
.of The measure contended that the
laws Of several states are ample to
meet the situation whenever Il pre-
sented itself. The first vote was 100
TO %; reeapitulation, 100 TO 100. The
vote OF the Speaker in the affirmative
passed the bill. The right Of the
speaker 70 vote after balloting was
closed was disputed BY DeArmond.
Cannon in an elaborate decision de-
clared be had right to vote and said
the vote would stand. DeArmond
appealed but in the meantime d vote
