pastor, with the similarity of man

Mr. Northrup ceased abruptly his
first illustration, or evidence of
God" as he called them. From the
factory he switched to a normal
school, this time proving the exist
ence of a conscience. He told of a
student who had committed a crime
against the school and morals in
general, in his room at college, for
which another student was blamed.
The guilty boy tried to appear in
nocent and allow the suspect to be
punished, but something beat within
his breast and made him want to
arraign himself before the faculty
and plead guilty. He did not know
it was his conscience. shouted the
pastor. "Ah, do not tell me there is
no conscience, 1t is evident every
where" he concluded his second IL
lustration.
The control of God over the
human mind was set forth next by
Mr.. Northrup. He spoke of patients
in a doctors chair and under a
physicians treatment, unable to obey
the advice of their medical helper.

pastor, when they unconsciously

cannot will. "At times like these"

HIGHER PRICES PREVAIL.
Reports of wide Open Prices" in
Steel Products Denied.

New York, Sept. 21.-The stock mar
ket today had as an incentive to higher
prices the statement issued yesterday
by Chairman E. H. Gary of the United
States Steel corporation denying re-
ports of an intended wide open cut"
in prices of steel products to be an
nounced before the end of the present
week. The reference in Judge Gary's
statement TO IAN effort for stock job
hing or other improper purposes to
greatly exagg crate, if not misrepresent,
the facts was supposed to point to
the source of Part of the demand to
cover shorts today. Rumors have been
very insistent for some days past of a
coming announcement from the United
States Steel officials which might
prove of sensational import to the
market. Yesterdays official staten nt
made 1T clear. that whatever price re-
adjustment may be in progress in the
steal trade, it is to be conducted with
out the demOnstrative method employ
ed in the announcement Of open cuts
in prices in February. 1909. 1t did not
escape comment, however. that the cut
announced at that tina marked the be-
ginning of growth in demand for steel
products and, incidentally the low
price for the United States Steel
shares. The present decision to
maintain fair prices and to CO operate
so far as they may legally and properly
various stories of 1909.
An effective supplement to the Gary
statement as market influence was
the decision submitted by a special
master to the United States circuit
court declaring void the railroad rates
made by the Minnesota state 1egisla-
ture. The professional traders in
stocks on the floor of the stock ex-
change jumped Ito some very wide con-
illusions from the decision and from
the grounds on which it was based
that the rates were confisca tory and
also an interference with Interstate
commerce There was seen in this
strong ground for contention against
possible decision on rates unfavora-
BILE to the railroads by the interstate
commerce commission following the
hearing now in progress. This point of
view was strengthened by the an
nouncement of the postponenent OF
additional increases in rates proposed
by the roads of the middle west an
nounced by the commission today. The
effect Of the Minnesota rate decision
was prom ounced on the roads inln1edi-
ately affected and whose lines traverse
the state.
The action of the Westinghouse
Electric directors in declaring accunu-
lated dividends due on the first pre-
ferred stock was a helpful factor for
higher prices. The reports of inhu-
entail new banking interests in the In
terborough- metropolitan company in
duced a lively speculation in the stocks
and bonds of that company and of the
old surface street railway companies
included in the system.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,

REAL BASEBALL PIRATES.
How the Pittshurs Team Got Nick
Name Which Has Stuck for Many
Years

The Pittsburg team. commonly called
the Pirates. got that name as a result
OF the kidnapping Of Louis Rierbauer,
a star second basen1an. from the Phila-
delphia Athletics away back in 1888 Or
1889. At that time there was a work
ing agr cement between the National
league ana the cid American assoc4a-
ton by which no club in either organ
ization WAS permitted to reserve more
than fifteen players at the close of the
season. The owners of the Athletics,
in the American association. desired to
keep sixteen of their men. but as only
fifteen could be legally reserved the
only way open was to leave one name
off the list and take a chance on no
ether club picking up the player.
Accordingly the Athletic manage
reserve list. hoping the omission weu'G
pc overlooked, hut a friend of the
Pittsburg club noted that Bierbauer's
name was missing, and as Louis was
a much sought PLAYER the friend told
Horace Phillips. manager of the Pitts
burg club. Phillips proceeded to Erie.
Pa. where Louis passed the winter
successful. Bierbauer was willing to
listen. a tempting offer was made, and
when Phillips returned he brought with
him the players signed contract for
the following season. The whole pro-
oeedin2 WAS perfectly regular, under
the rules. and Bierbauer played in
Pittsburg for many years, but the man :
her of his capture caused no end OF
talk in the baseball world, and one
Philadelphia writer referred to the af-
fair as an act Of piracy on the baseball
seas. The Fittsburgs We're promptly
nickra.ned the Pirates. and the title
has stuck.
