STOCKS WERE SLUGGISH
AceumuIative Effect of Decline in
Business ard Reduction In
Dividends Were Factors.

New York, May -Sluggishness
prevailed in the stock market again

political outlook.
Reduction of railroad dividends
another unfayorable factor. Yester-
day cut by the Boston and Main being
followed today by similar action on
the part of the Vandalia.

Q greater significance than the action

came fntolerable, and his bishop, the
most holy synod and all the local dig.
nitaries of the church united in pow
erful and combined attempt to promote
him from the monkish cell which he
occupied at Tsaritsin to the post Of
abbot in a wealthy monastery in the
prosperous lula district.
There are not many monks in Russia
who would require much coaxing to
make such an exchange, but In this
matter, as in everything else. Iliodore
was exceptional. He first let 1t be
known In town that he was about to
condemn himself to die of starvation.
The people Of Tsaritsin were thrilled
by the news.
Seven thousand of them Aocked to
the monastery church. where they
found the man Of God In an ecstasy be-
fore the altar. Coming to himself and
finding the sacred building full of peo-
pie, the monk conducted q religious
service which reused the congregation
to the highest pitch Of religious emo
ton.
Having thus created an appropriate
atmosphere Of ecstasy, he announced
that he would remain with them to the
end and swore solemn oath not to
eat or sleep until he had received q
message that he would be allowed to
stay In Tsaritsin. Amid tears and
groans and Paintings and all the other
evidences Of acute strain the people
swore similar oath.
kilograms were then sent to the most
holy synod and even to the car. The
Black Hundred associations, with
which Iliodore had long been connect
ed and for whose newspapers he some
times wrote fiery and incoherent ar.
ticles. took up the cause of the rebel.
lious monk. and religious Russia was
stirred to its depths.
The church digntaries played wait
Ing game and then implored Ilodore to
release himself and the congregation
partially from their vow. He did so
and thus undermined his whole posi-
ton, for In the Greek church nobody
can release from VOWS save the holy
synod
The last scene finds Iliodore coaxed
into railway carriage and then whir-
ed away by special train to some I'm
known destination. 1t may safely be
that this is the end OF
Il.odore.
