Victory Of Russian Troops Helped
Sentiment; war Loan at Premium.

LONDON. Nov. 2s.-Trading in securi-
ties IN the street today was checked by
rain. but the undertone was strong. The
victory Of the Russian troops and the
speeches or Lord Kitchener and Cham
cellor David Boyd-Georee helped senti-
ment as did the impending reopenius OF
the Paris Bourse for cash trading on
December T.
The new British war loan was quoted
at n premium OF a. Applicants for
amounts UP to 100000 will be allotted
the fun amount. Applicants for amounts
more than e100OO0 will receive 96 per
cent Of their subscriptions.
Many small subscribers to the loan are
expected to pay for their allotments in
full. instead Of IN instalments, owing to
the fact that a discount Of 3 per cent
will be allowed TO those who take the
former course.
Russian securities were strong Ameri-
can and Argentine rails had a good tone
Canadian Pacihc's were 1874.
II Is understood that the Stock EN-
change Committee Is preparing TO fix a
buyine-iu day In respect to bargains made
for the account originally fixed for mid
November This is further step toward
reopenlng the Exchange.

Levi l.. Rue. chairman Of the Clearing
House Committee of the Philadelphia
Clearing House Association, today sent
a telegram to Comptroller of the Currency
John Shelton Williams. notifying him that
all of the Clearing House loan certificates
taken out by the banks in this city have
been retired The maximum amount Of
certificates issued is understood to have
been between Sii,O00,OOO and Si2,0OO0OO.
Now that the certificates have been
retired II Is probable that the weekly bank
statement showing the conditions of the
member institutions of the Clearing House
will be changed shortly. The coming
weeks statement will be issued in the
old form, but the next one will un-
doubtedly be in new form. A special
committee OF the Clearing House Is now
working on the form of statement which
will be adopted, and a meeting of this
committee will be held at the Clearing
House on Monday, when some definite de-
cision may be reached.

Pageland's Two Foreigners.

Pageland's Two Foreigners.
So far as this paper has been
able to ascertain there are only
two foreign born persons in
Pageland, and these are T. M.
and Abe Joseph, natives of Leb-
anon, Syria. They came to
Pageland from Monroe. where
they have relatives. They speak
aud write English with difficulty,
and when talking to each other
they use their own language.
They are small of stature, and
the complexion is dark. Their
hair is as black as the back, and
there is no difficulty in recogniz-
ing them as foreigners.
Abe Joseph is the older of
the two, and he has been in this
country ten years, according to
his statement. He left home at
the age of thirteen, which makes
him twenty-three now. He is an
uncle of T. NJ. Joseph, who is
now seventeen, having been
here four years. Neither is mar
rled, and they cook for them
selves.
Their old home IS in the
mountains from whence came
the famous cedar to build Solo
mons temple at Jerusalem.
They lived about twenty-five
miles from jerusalem, and about
twenty miles from the Mediter.
ranean sea. Their nearest sea-
port was Beirut, Syria, and each
sailed from this port when COM
ing to America.
Syria is divided into six provi-
noes and is a part of Asiatic Tur-
key. The Sultan of Turkey
claims the territory but Lebanon
is Inhabited by a people who
hate the Turks and who are now
under the Roman Catholics of
France rather than the Moham-
medans of Turkey. They would
delight to see Turkey join with
Germany in the present war,
because they believe France,
England and Russia would ex-
terminate the hated Turks.
The people raise corn, wheat,
oats, grapes, figs, cattle and
sheep, but very few hogs and no
cotton. In the section where
these boys lived there is a dry
season beginning in June AMI
lasting five months. The crops
are watered bv irrigation. and
the people drink spring watek
that comes out of the mountains.
No wells are used. The houses
are built of stone from the
mountains. They eat about the
same diet as the American peo.
pie, except the hog meat.
Joseph says the fig trees grow as
large as Pageland's favorite
sycamore, and that there are
grapes as large as guinea eggs.
The people are Catholics and
the priests and the old people
and the idlers go to church
twice day, and all go on Sun
day.
Abe Joseph thinks the war
will end in few more weeks,
and he hopes the Allies, particu-
larry the French, will be victori-
Gus. He expects to visit the
"Old Country" some time, but
not until the war is over.
