DRAMATIC SCENE
 AT CHURCH SERVICE

Vienna, May 27.-(Speclal)-A scene of a dramatically pathetic nature was en- acted one Sunday recently during morn the Hungarian village of Okany.
 A pastor, young and brilliant, named Alexander Ekel while addressing his congrega ton on the duty of forgiving in juries, spoke with such fervor and elo- quence that before he had completed his sermon there was scarcely dry eye in the church. After concluding with most touching peroraton, he proceeded to the altar, walking as if in wrapt contempla- ton.
 A woman who had been sitting at the back of the church had come to the front without anyone noticing her. Throwing herself at the pastors feet she said in sobbing tones:
 "You preach forgiveness and reconcilia- ton. Now forgive your poor wife, who does not know what wrong she has done you, and let her return to your homer. The sight of the wife, whom he believed to be far away rendered the pastor speeches., and the congregation, who had always thought that he was unmar- ried. crowded round to see the woman who claimed to be his wife.
 The young preacher, who a moment be- fore had brought the tears to the eyes of
 the listeners, now ignored his wfe's ap-
 peal. He declared coldly that she knew that he had sent her back to her parents after a few weeks marriage and that he
 could not take her back on any condi- ton

LONDON STOCK
 MARKET IS DULL

London, May 27.-The stock market dur ing the week was generally dull at an easy tendency, and there was some ap- prehension at the end regarding the out come of the settlement, owing to recent liquidation. The absence of public sup port and the recrudescence of the Mex ican trouble started the uncertainty, while the trouble in the steel trade and er-specuation in rubber shares, to- gether with further liquidation of the bull account in home rails, helped to un- settle the market. Consols dropped half point from the best and closed three siXteenths down on the week. The re- cent new issues met with poor response and have been largely left in the hands of the underwriters, a fact partly re- sponsible for the prevailing depression.
 American Securities were weakened early by the cut in steel prices and fears of further government trust prosecutions. of the week, in anticipation of a favor able decision in the American Tobacco company case, prevented material de- cline and values closed from point high CT to a point lcwer
 The monetary situation became easier with the release of cash by the banks after the arrangement of the monthly balance sheets while the engagement of e1 ,O00, eco gold in Paris weakened discount rates. stringency, however, is again expected before the end of the second quarter and the money situation in New York is being closely watched.

NEW YORK PROTEST
 IS DISALLOWED

New York, May 27.-Presidept Lynch of the National league disallowed to- day the protest made by New York on point of play which was responsible for the New York club protesting the game lost to St.. Louis at American league park on May 16.
 With two men out and a runner on third, Evans of St. Louis stepped out of the batsman's box to protest a second strike. While protesting Raymond pitched another ball which Umpire Fin neran refused to call either a strike or ball and on this alleged violation of section ? or rule 61, the New York club based Its complaint.
 President Lynch found that Evans hac no right, under the rules, to step out of the box and stop the play, and that the umpire erred in failing to call the pitch either a strike or ball. President Lynch ruled, however, that St. Louis did not benefit In any way by the umpire's error and that 1t had no bearing on the result of the game inasmuch as no run resulted there from.

ANNIE SWAN GIVES
 "REMINISCENCES

London. May 2.-(Special.)-A account of her first direct contact with spiritual ism is giyen by Annie S. Swan, the noted Scottish novelist. in a recent number of a woman's paper. In the grey days follow- Ing upon an overwhelming personal loss she was visited by an old friend who had lost her son, but who was filled with joy ousness Mrs. Swan could not understand. This visitor assured the novelist that .,t was better to have our loved ones wonder than to have them here; that no contact was broken; that 1t was possible to see and talk with them, and so to bridge the gulf, that heaven seemed nearer and dearer place than earth Mrs. Swan listened unconvinced, but after wards was induced by her friend to ac- company her to a private seance In order that she might see and hear for herself.
 There were five persons present at the seance and with these the novelist was very favorably impressed
 After a brief prayer had been said,' she states, "the candle was put out. We joined hands by the little finger, and talked quite cheerfuily of ordinary sub iects, and there was not the smallest feel ing of nervousness or strain in the air. I myself felt at home, hardly even ex- pectant, and the quiet and the dark felt soothing to my eyes. We knew when the medium went off into a trance by his long sigh. and shortly afterwards one became conscious of a presence. I am unable to explain 1t otherwise than as if a wind made by wings was passing over the room. Voices spoke. bidding us good day by name, and my identity seemed to be we'll known by the vsitants.
 presently a light was seen about the center of the room. and the face of Car dinal Newman appeared. He was an- nounced to the company by name, blessed them in Latin, with laying on of hands, and his appearance was followed by the singing of heavenly choir. Other forms which bore resemblance to those we loved
 who had passe over, but they were some what shadowy and 1t was difficult to be certain of recognition. I have only one thing to add to my experience. My son did not appear, but. I heard his voice ad- dressing me quite plainly by name, and offering a message of affection, comfort and of hope
 Mrs Swan declares that she is unable to offer any explanation for what hap pened. The effect of 1t on her mind was "confused." and the spirits, she adds. told her nothing that she "could not find set forth with greater convincingness in the Bible"

A Joyous Corpse

Lady Holland writes in her journal: {: The first German play I ever saw was at Innspruck. I did not understand d word that was said, but the incidents diverted me as much as the pantomimes Tn a harlequin farce. The first four acts were crowded with murders by poisoning, stranging, stabbing, occasional screams, starts and trapdoors; the fifth had all the solmen parade of bourgeois death, the exposition of a corpse in coffin, with all the relations, Just as Partridge would have them, crying around. But mark the catastrophe. Just as the mournful at- tendants were going 10 assign the ap- parently breathless heroine to her peace ful mansion up she jumped, to the great discomfiture of the surrounding parties and, to the admiration of the audience. strutted about in her shroud

BAD FIRE BREAKS
 OUT IN QUEBEC

Quebec, Canada, May 2-One of the worst fires which has visited Quebec for many years swept through the business section this afternon and tonight wiped out two big factories, several dwellings and entalled property loss estimated at more than s250.o00.
 Low water pressure while the fire was at its height handicapped the fremen. Troops from the citadel marched In a body to the scene of the blaze and helped the firemen fight the flames. Hurry calls for aid were sent to the towns of Mont calm and Levies, which responded with all available apparatus. The combined ef- forts of the three fire brigades and the troops finally brought the flames under control The cause of the fire has not been determined.
