Eve Of Holiday Causes Situa-
ton to Be Dull.
DAY DEVOID Of INTEREST
aumor Of Illness of J. Pierpont Nor
gan Brings FURRY to Opening Hour
of Exchange-important Results
Expected From Wheat Bull.
OBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, May 27.-The eve of
three days holiday on the stock
exchange is never conductive to much
activity. The stock market, besides,
has been tapping towards dizziness
and neglect by process of uncertain
and narrowing fluctuations, which are
characteristic of the market when In
purely professional hands. The
episode of the first hours activity was
due TO the circulation of rumOr OF
The illness of ]. Pierpont Morgan,
which originated in Chicago stock
brokerage circles. Meantime, Mr..
Morgan is in Paris and was in cable
communication today with business
associates in New York The circula-
ticn of false rumors is held generally
to signify activity by bear party in
the speculation. Whatever the real
purpose Of the early operations, they
were discontinued soon and the pro
veedings for the rest of the day were
almost devoid of interest.
The lack of response to the formal
announcement of the sales of St.
Paul bonds in France to the amount
of 250,O0O,G00 francs, brought out
some professions of disappointment.
The speculative effect of it was found
IN fact to be exhausted.
The ruote of the bull party in
wheat is expected to have important
results if it has served to bring about
natural conditions in that market.
the awakening of export demand will
be watched for with interest. The
course of the cotton market is equal
~ interesting to the stock market ele-
ment.
The fact that the Fall River cot
ton mills will close down all of next
week shows the bearing of the cot
ton market position on the general
industrial situation. The slightly
firmer tone of the money market this
week lends interest to the showing to
be made by the bank statement to be
published while the stock exchange is
in recess. Over a million dollars has
gone out to Canada this week and
the movement of interior exchanges
has been against New York.
While the movement from the inter-
iOr has fallen off considerably, 1t has
been sufficient 10 indicate a substan-
tial cash gain for the banks.

At last the worm has turned, anu

Municipalities which levy excessive

SO says The Spectator, an hsur-

Perhaps the heads OF the mighty

This last sentence SPEAKS volumes
concerning the attitude Of the Trust
sThe sooner the public learns that

WIFE'S SOCIAL AIMS
FORCE OUT PASTOR

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-The Rev. DR.. c.
6. Kindred. who preached his farewell
sermon as pastor Of the Christian
Church of Englewood last Sunday, has
consulted an attorney, and taken the
first steps towards obtaining sep
aration from his wife. Incompatible
ity of temper will be the basis Of the
action, which may possibly be settled
out OF court. An overweening de-
sire for social recognition and the pc
culiar temper of Mrs. Kindred are
declared TO be the causes Of the rup-
ture between the clergyman and his
wife.
Il owed it TO my congregation to
resign" said DR.. Kindred today There
are great many young people in the

Postoffice Rohhsriss.

After the robbery of the United
States postoflce at Richmond, Va,
authorities have been aroused to the
demand for better protection of funds,
stamps and other valuables which
go to make up postofioe equipment.
Last year over 1000 Offices were
raided and the amount of booty car
ried OF must have been considerable.
Too few of the criminals were cap
tured and too little of the. loot was
recovered.
Craoksmen apparently find less diff
Guilty In robbing postofices than they
do banks because. except in those
cases where a city has a government
depository, the postmasters keep all
valuables in the ONCE safe, which is
usually a cheap affair and is easily
opened. Whether the Richmond post.
ONCE was we'll guarded and had a
good safe is not known, but under any
circumstances it was neither sum.
ciently heavily guarded nor was the
safe heavy enough to resist, success
fully, the efforts of the robbers.
No prudent business man would be
thus careless about valuables in large
amounts, especially when they are SO
easily moved and their identity lost
as are stamps and money. These
should be at least as we'll protected
as like valuables are in commercial
affairs. In addition TO this, postmas
ters are not held responsible for the
robberies, according to law, If they
can show that all valuables were in
the safe and the safe locked at the
time of the raid
Although drastic measures to pro
tect the postofices are not necessary
yet more strict supervision would dc
no harm, for the present system
strikes the observer as somewhat care
less. Not even the certain punishment
OF criminals by federal authority car
prove an effective deterrent to post
ofice robberies when the opportunities
are spread out in too tempting a man
ner.

with the remark.

court that has had the case of the Rev,
David Hicks under consideration has ac-
quilted the reverend gentleman, and, as a
consequence. Mr.. Hicks may resume his
place in the pulpit. The Rev. Mr.. Hicks
had charge of a congregation in Essex
county. He had large family, and $500 a
year upon which to live! Having many
mouths to fill and many little ones to
clothe, Mr.. Hicks incurred liabilities, and
these so oppressed him that in a panic he
went off to the United States. His sudden
exile resulted in the laying of charges
against him. He was accused of financial
irregularities and of deserting his pastorate.
The court appointed to try him has ex-
culpated him. He is declared by his judges
to have been guilty Of no wrongdoing.
But the court hardly went far enough,
1t should have tried the congregation and
have held It responsible for the troubles
