At the Churches,

Large congregations were in attendance
at the services of the different churches
of this city yesterday morning The
bright sunshine and almost spring-lille
weather had the effect of giving all an
opportunity to get out.
The first of the series of Sunday even
ing union services was held in the Meth
odist church last night. There was
splendid cong esation. nearly every seat
in the large auditorium being taken.
There was half-hour song service under
charge of the efficient choir of the church.
Rev. Henry f.. Harding read the S4th
Psalm and Rev. J. W. Steele offered
prayer.
Rev II. l.. Nichols outlined the object
of the service and announced the theme
of the evening: The Real Mission of the
Church. and gave a l0-minutes talk on
the subject. in which he stated that the
church was something more than mere
meeting place on a Sabbath day. or a
place to foster social gatherings of any
kind only. That it's greater work was to
make bad men good and good men better.
Rev. j. w. Steele of the First Unver-
salist church followed on THE Obstacles
in the Way" and said that he was not
one who believed that the church was
falling behind in her achievements, but
confessed Impotence at the slow pro-
Sress being made and he mentioned as
one of the obstacles in the way of larger
accomplishments the lack of prayer and
this failure to be oftener in prayer was
largely due the haste in which the world
is living. The speaker deplored the fact
that business should make us forget God.
Rev. B. +. Turner of the First Baptist
church closed on The Vital Needs and
Our individual Responsibility" The
speaker said it should be q time of seek
ing the aid of the Holy Spirit in our
efforts to help on these great forward
movements and that every man and wo-
man should understand that they were
personally responsible for what assist
ance they could give in the vital enter
prises of the church.
A similar service will be held next Sun
day evening in the First Universalist
church.

TO TRY KELLEY.
District Attorney Whitehouse Says He
Was Arrested in Maine.

Portland. Me-, Dec. 5.-Hon. Robert
Treat Whitehousc, United States dis.
trict attorney, said Saturday that the
United States will go on with the trial
Of W. ]. Kelley and will be in a po-
sition to show that he was on the
Maine side of the line when he was
arrested by Deputy Stevens.
1t is admitted, even Oh the Canadian
side. that Kelley was trying to SNUG
gle goods over the line when arrested.
His arrest was regarded at the time as
a very important matter, because he
had the reputation of being a desper-
ate man, and bail was fixed at $4,000.
The authorities are confident that
Kelley will be convicted. He is un-
derstood to be Il rich farmer. The ma
ture If the charge made against him
and the alleged desperation OF the man
will make the officials do all they can
to hold him. No official notice has been
received that the dominion government
will attempt to show that he was talk
en- on the Canadian side of the line

Disturb Speculative E|e-
meot In Stock Market.
Dropping Tendency Of Prices
Gives Weight 10 MisgIvings.
Because Of RECENT Rulings Which
Nit the Bigger Trusts.

New York, Dec 5.-Various factors
served to disturb speculative sentiment
in the stock market last week. The
vulnerablity of the market to these
factors was largely owing to the re-
straint of speculative operations ex-
ercised by the money position. Ever
since the Bank of England began to
assert opposition to the expansive ex-
pertinent of credits in speculation by
forcing up the London money market.
there have been evidences of a scaling
down of commitments in the New
York Stock Market and a restriction
on the concentrated operations in that
market by which prices had been ad-
vanced and held. The political crisis
in England which eliminated in the
rejection of the budget last week by
the House of Lords, constrains the
Bank of England to maintain it's ex-
traordinary Importation of reserves
and continues London's control of New
York gold supplies. s...
Gold went to South America last
week on London orders in an undi-
minished stream and this made the
call loan market subject to fiurries.
The six per cent. maximum rates for
the year was touched again.
The dropping tendency of prices
thus inaugurated gave weight to the
misgivings which arose over the anti
trust agitation and the prospects that
1T would grow and intensity. Reports
from Washington of the tone expected
in the Presidents message on that
topic had much influence in sending
prices doWnwards. as did later mOdi-
fled reports in the vigorous recovery.
The break in American Sugar to the
lowest price of the present year was
due to the undesirable prominence Of
that corporations present position be.
fore the criminal courts.
The sale of the ST. Louis & San
Francisco by the Rock Island was
prompted avowedly by the chance that
the combination would come under the
disapproval of the government authori-
ties. The purchase of control of the
Guarantee Trust Co., by a partner of
j. P. Morgan & Co.. and the purchase
by ]. Pierr ont Morgan, individually, Of
the control of the Equitable Life AS.
surance Co, carrying with it control Of
the Mercantile and Equitable Trust
Cos, and involving such widespread
hold on credit institutions as to stagger
the financial imagination has a strong
stimulating influence in rallying stocks.
