ALIEN CAPITAL IK HOME BEEWEKIES
Bbookltx, November 9. To-day Dr.
Talmage preached the seventh of his course
of sermons on his recent tour in Palestine.
During the six meetings thus far held in
Kew York. 90,000 people have endeavored
to hear Dr. Talmagc preach. Of these 3T,000
bare been admitted and 55,000 have been
turned away for lack of accommodation.
Following are extracts of the sermon from
the text: "So I lifted up mine eyes the way
toward the Xortb." (Ezekiel 8:5.)
At 1 o'clock on a December afternoon,
through Damascus gate we were passing out of
Jerusalem for a journey northward. In travel
ing alone the roads of Palestine I am impressed
as I could not have otherwise been, w ith the
fact that Christ for the most part went afoot.
We find Kim occasionally on a boat, and once
riding in a triumphal procession, as it is some
times called, although it seems to me that tho
liosannas of the frond could not have made a
ride on a stubborn, unimpressive and funny
creatine like that which pattered with Him
into Jerusalem vert much of a triumph. But
we are made to understand that generally He
talked. How much that means only those
know who have cone over tho distance tra-
crsed by Christ. We arc accustomed to read
that Bethany is two miles from Jerusalem,
ft ell, anv man in ordinary health can wall, two
miles mtbout fatigue, But not niore than one
man out of a thousand can walk from Bethany
to Jernsalem without exhaustion. It is over
the Mount of Olive, and jou mnst climb up
anions the rolling stones, and descend where
exertion is necessary to keen jou from falling
prostrate. et Christ walked it twice a day.
JESUS WALKS.
Likewise it seemed a small thing that Christ
walked from Jerusalem to .Nazareth. Butit will
take us four days of hard horseback riding to
do It this week. The way is mountainous in
the extieme. So all up and down and across
r.nd recrosing Palestine, Jesus walked. Ahab
rode David rode. Solomon rode. Herod
rode ntonv rode. But Jesus walked. We
rode down through theiallej and then up on
Mount Scopus, and. as our dragoman tells us
that this is the last opportunity we shall have
of looking at Jerusalem, we turn our horse's
head towaul the cit and take a lone, sad and
thrilling look at the religious capital of our
p'lnct. This is the most impressive view of
the most tremendous cits of all time On and
around this hill the armies of the crusaders at
thefiist Mghtof ihe cit threw themselves on
their faces in worship. Here most of the be
siegea armies encamped the iiicnt before open
ing their olles ot death against Jerusalem.
And now, like tzekiel m mv text. I lift up
rniueejes the wa toward the north. Near
here was one of the worst tragedies of the ages,
mentioned in the Hible A hospitable old man,
coming h me at even-tide from his work in the
fields, ends two strangers, a husband and wife,
proposing to lodge in the street because no shel
ter is offered them, and invites them tScomc in
ard spend the night in his home. During the
n ght the rufhins of the neighborhood con
spired together, and surrounded the house and
left the woman dead on the doorstep, and the
husband, to rally in reenge the 12 tribes, cut
the corpse of the woman into 12 parts and sent
a twelfth of it to each tribe, and the fury of the
nation ras aroused and a peremptor demand
uasmade lor the surrender of the assassins,
ana, the demand refused, in one daj 2U.O0O pen
nle were left dead on the field, and the next
.ay IS 000. Wherever our horse to-day plants
lis foot, in those ancient times a corpse lay,
nd the loads were crossed bv red rivulets of
arnage.
ElZrAll'S CHIX.DEEK.
Now we pass ou where seven yonths were put
to death and their bodies ginbeted or hung in
chains, not for anytlnug they had themselves
done, but as a reparation for what their father
and grandfather, Saul, had done. Burial was
denied these joutbs from May until November.
Rirpab, tbe mother of two of these dead bovs,
appoints herself as sentinel to guard the seven
oorpses from beak of ra en and tooth ot wolf
ard paw of lion. She pitches a black tent on
the rock close to the gibbets, ilizpah by dav j
sits on tnc ground in trunt oi ner tent, and
when a vulture begins to lower out of the noon
da) skv seeking its prey among the gibbets,
Bizpah rises, her long hair Jiving in the wind,
and, swinging her arms wildly about, shoos
away the bird of prey until it retreats to us
erne. At night she rests under the shadow of
her tent and sometimes falls into a drowsiness
orhalfsleer But the step of a jackal among
the dr 'eaves or the panting oi a hyena arouses
her. and with the fury of a maniac, she rushes
out upon the rock crying. "Awajl Away!" jnd
then examining the gibbets to see that they
I mlllkeep their burden, leturns again to her
! tn till some swooping wing from the mid
t il(it sk or some growling monster on the
rtc Jv again wakes her.
tATCHI.G MOTHERS.
. mother in the quiet home watching by the
,ket of a aead child for one night exerts the
ftist to his utmost, but who is sufficient to put
ipon canvas a mother for six months of mid-
rauht guarding her whole family, dead and
'ibbeted upon the mountains? You might as
ell expect -ou to get tired as lor a motner to
et tired.
Right here in these three cities by the Amer
ican sea coast, there are a thousand cases this
moment worse than that. Mothers watching
buys that the rum saloon, that annex of hell,
has ginbeted in living death, llojs hUDgin
chains of evil habit they cannot break. 'Ihe
lather ma) go to sleep after waiting until 12
o'clock at night for the ruinod boy to come
borne. But mother will not go to bed. It is
1:J0 when he comes staggering through the
hall Do)ou sav that joungman is )et alive?
!o; he is dead. Dead to his father's entreaties.
Dead to his mother's prayers. Dead to the
family altar where be was reared. Dead to all
the nobie ambitions that once inspired him.
Twice dead. Only a corpse ot what he once
was. His father is asleep, his brothers are
asleep, bis sisters are asleep, but bis mother is
watching him, watching him in the night.
And w hat are the political parties of this
countrj doing for such cases? They are taking
care not to hurt the feelings of the jackals and
the buzzards that roost on the shelves of the
grogshops and hoot above the dead. I am
often asked to what political party I belong,
and I new declare my opinion ot the political
parties to-day. Each one is worse than the
other, and the only consolation in regard to
them is that they have putrefied until they have
no more power to rot. Oh, that comparatively
tame scene upon which Bizpah looked! She
looked npoa onlv seven of the slain. American
motherhood and American wifehood this
moment are looking upon 70 of the slain, upon
700 of the slain, upon 70.000 of the slam.
AMERICAN BREWERIES.
My only consolation on this subject is that
foreign capitalists are buying up the American
breweries. The present owners see that the
doom of that business is coming as surely as
that God is not dead. They are unloading
upon foreign capitalists, and when we can get
these brcwciies into the hands of people living
on the other side of the sea our political parties
will cease to be alraid of tbe liquor traffic, and
at their conventions nominating I'resiaental
candidates w ill put m their platform a plank
as bi as the biggest plank of the biggest ocean
steamer saying "Kisolved. unanimously, that
we always have been and always will be op
posed to alcoholism."
But I must spuron our Arab steed, and here
we come in sight of Bcerotli, said to be the
place where Joseph and Mary missed the boy
Jesus on the way from Jerusalem to Nazareth.
I bear down on you to-dat with a mightv com
fort. Mary and Joseph said: "Where is our
Jesns?" and jou say, "Where is John? or where
is Henry ? or where is George?" Well, 1 should
not wonder if you found him after awhile.
Where? in the same place where Joseph and
Mary found their bo) in the temple. What do
I mean bj that? I mean: jou do your duty
toward God and toward jour child and yon will
find him after awhile in the kingdom of Christ
Will you sav: "I do not hat e any way of influ
encing nij child." I answer you have the most
tremendousllneot influence open right before
you. As j ou write a letter, and there are two
or three routes by which it may go, but you
want it to go the quickest route, put on your
wishes about jour child, "via the throne of
God." How long will such a good wish take to
get to its destination? Not quite a long as the
millionth part of a second. 1 will prove it.
1 he promise is, -Before they call. I will an
swer." That means at your first motion toward
such orajertul exercise the blessing will come,
and if the prayer be made at 10 o'clock at night
it will be answered fivo minutes before 10.
HOPE FOR YOUR SONS.
Well, you say, I am clear discouraged about
my son, and I am getting on in years, and I fear
I will not live to see him converted. There has
not been an Lour in heaven tbe last hundred
years when parents in glory had not bad an
nounced to them the salvation of children
w bom they left in this world profligate.
One of tho things God has positively prom
1 feed in the Bible is that He will answer earnest
s.id believing prayer, Falling to do that, He
would wreck His own throne, and the founda
tions of His palace would give way, and the
bank of heaven wouldsu-pend payment, and
tho dark word "repudiaioo," would-be written
across the skv, and tbe eternal government
would be disbanded, and God Himself would
become an exile.
But we must hurry on. for the muleteers, and
baggage men have been ordered to pitch our
tents for tu-night at Bethel. It is already get
ting so dark that we have to give up all idea of
guiding the horses, and leave them to their own
sagacity. We ride down amid mud cabins and
into ravines where the horses leap from depth
to depth, rocks below rocks, rocks under rocks.
Wboal Whoa! we dismount in thlsplace, mem
orable for many things In Bible hist on, tbe
two more prominent a theological seminary,
where of old they made ministers, and for Ja
cob's dream. The students of this Betbel The
ological Seminary were called "Sons of the
rrophets."
TWICE-NOTED BETHEL.
I thank God that from these theological sem
inaries there is now coming forth a magnificent
crop of young ministers who are taking the pul
pits in all parts of the land. Many of our pul
pits are djing of humdrum. People do not go
to church because they cannot endure the
technicalities, and profound explanations of
nothing, and sermons about the "eternal gen
eration of the Son," and the difference between
sub-lapsariamsm and suora-lapsarianlsm, and
about who Melchisideck wasn't. There onght
to be as much difference between tbe modes of
picsenting truth now and lu olden time, a be
tween a lightning express rail train and a canal
boat.
But most distinguished was Bethel for that
famous dream which Jacob had, his head on a
collection of stones. He had no trouble in this
rocky region in finding a rocky pillow. There
is hardly anything else but stone. Yet the
people of those lands have a way of drawing
their outer garment up over their head and
face, and such a pillow I suppose Jacob bad
under his head.
Well, that night God built in Jacob's dream a
long, spleudid ladder, tbe feet of it on either
side of the tired pilgrim's pillow, and the top of
it mortised in the sky. And bright immortals
came out from the castles of amber and gold
and put their shining feet on tbe shining rungs
of the ladder, and kept coming down and going
up, a procession both ways.
MEMORABLE DREAMS.
I suppose they had wings, for tho Bible al
most always reports them as having wings, but
this was a ladder on which tbey used bands and
feet to encourage all those of us, who have no
wings, to climb, and encouraging us to believe
that, if wo will use what we have, God will
provide a wav ana if we will employ the band
and the foot. He will furnish the ladder.
The greatest dream of all time was that of
St. John witb his bead npon tbe rocks of Pat
mos. and in that vision he heard the seven
trumpets sounded, and saw all the Domp of
heaven In proceson cherubic, 6eraphic, arch
angelic. The next most memorable and glori
ous dream was that of John Bun) an, his pillow
the cold stone of the floor of Bedford jail, from
which he saw the celestial city, and so many
entering it. He cried ont in his dream, "I wish
myself among them." The next most wonder
ful dream was that of Washington sleeping ou
the ground at Valley Forge, his head on a
white pillow-case of snow, where he saw the
vision of a nation emancipated. Columbus
Mcpt on a weaver's pillow, but roso on tbe lad
der let down until be could see a new hemis
phere. Demosthenes slept on a cutter's pillow,
but on the ladder let down arose tn see the
mlgttyassemblagestbatweretobe swayed by
his oratory. Arkwnght slept on a barber's
pillow, but went up the ladder till he could see
all England quake with the factories he set
going. Akenside slept on a butcher's pillow,
but took the ladder up till he saw other gen
erations helped by his scholarship. John Ash
worth slept on a poor man's pillow, but took
the ladder up until he could see his prayers
and exertions bringing thousands of tbe desti
tute in England to salvation and heaven.
CLIMBING LIFE'S LADDER.
Nearly all tfcose who are to-dav great In mer
chandise, in statesmanship, in law, in medicine,
m art, in literature, were once at tbe foot of
the ladder, and in their boyhood had a pillow
as hard as Jacob's. They who are born at tbe
top ot the ladder are apt to spend their lives in
coming down, while those who are at the foot,
ana their head on a boulder, if they have the
right kind of dream, are almost sure to rise.
'I hat night at Bethel. I stood In front of my
tent and looked up and tbe heavens were fnll
of ladders, first a ladder of clouds, then a lad
der of stars, and all up and down tbe heavens
were angels of beauty, angels of consolation,
at-gels of God, ascending and descending.
"Surely God is in this place," said Jacob, "and
I knew it not." But to-night God Is in this
place, and I know it!
ALONG THE RIVERS.
Tv"nter Too Low for Navigation No Coal to
Go Out New Lights Located Along the
Ohio by the Lighthouse Inspector.
Charles McGregor, Lighthouse Inspector
for the Fourteenth district, writes to The
Dispatch that new lights have been es
tablished at the following places between
Cincinnati and Pittsburg:
One post light on the West Virginia side,
abreast the end ot tbe dam foot of Eight Mile
Island; one post light on the Ohio side, on
cedar tree in bend below Millersport, at Rural
Home: one post light on the Ohio side, in bend
below Manchester: also.the following new light
was established on the Kanawha river, viz.:
swinging light on the right bank at Peal Maple.
Pittsburg river men recognize the value of
having lights located at tbe above places. There
are numerous other bends and corves in the
river which, if lighted, would lessen the dan
gers to the inland mariners.
Tbe stage of water yesterday bad dropped
from 6 feet 7 inrhes of tbe day before to 6 feet.
This is not sufficient water for tow boats, and
the coal men are glad to enjoy a short period of
inactivity. The reports from Lock So. 4 ana
Brownsville show tho river falling, with cloudy
weather, and at Oil City the Allegheny is sta
tionary. Tbe news from these three places
will give river men an idea of what to expect
from both streams.
Tbe Convoy arrived from Louisville yester
day morning with five barges.
Ihe Bedford nronght np the steam pipes and
smokestack of the William Bonner, which was
bnmed about a year ago at Rush Run, near
Stenbenville. Tbe parts of the wreck were
stored along the wharf, and soemed to recall to
the minds ot river navigators the fate ot that
boat and some others.
BABE GOOD MANNERS.
Anecdote Proving Lord Rosebery a Per
fect Gentleman.
Scottish American.
A characteristic story is told of this most
popular Scotch peer. One day he was en
tertaining a large party, and among his
guests were several persons whose acquaint
ance with the nays of fashionable life was
of the slightest. One of them, making his
first experiment with ice pudding, took an
extensive mouthful, and suffered agonies of
chill as the frozen mass slowly dissolved.
With a kindly thought of others he repaired
to the host, who was chatting with two or
three friends close by, and intimated that
there had been some mistake in the kitchen
a pudding had got frozen.
Lord Rosebery listened without moving a
muscle, tasted the stuff, thanked his in
formant, and said he would speak to the
cook. Then he whispered to one of the at
tendants, came back with a relieved face,
and told tbe honest farmer, "It's all right.
Thev tell me this is anew sort of pudding
that is frozen on parpose." There is prob
ably no more perfect instance of really good
manners on reoord.
More English Ignorance.
A bland and farcical ignorance Of things
American prevails in England, says the
New York Herald. A London dramatic
Eaper says: "The New York City Council
ave revoked the license of the Park
Theater, Boston, where a play called
The Clemenceau Case' was produced."
Imagine New York City daring to encroach
upon Boston!
Coking Coal In Virginia.
One of tbe finest veins of coking coal yet
discovered has recently been found in Socth
west Virginia, measuring 22 feet in thick
ness, witb two feet of slate. It belongs to
the Flat Top or Pocohontas field, which has
been partially developed in the last few
years, and become so universally noted for
its coke and steaming qualities.
Tastes Differ.
Boston Herald.
"The taste of some people js remarkable.
One would think they never had any educa
tion," remarked the chief cannibal as he
sampled some or the missionary stew. "This
fellow looked all right, bnt he's tough and
stringy, and there's a fearful flavor of
leather about him."

THE TRADE OUTLOOK
Hides Keep Drifting to a Lower Level
and Leather Slow.
THE MARKETS DOWN TO HARD PAN
Sprinjr Patent Flour Down to Its Lowest
Point This Season.
PK0TISI0KS ARE WEAK AND SLOW
OFFICE OF PlTTSBTJKO DISPATCH. I
Saturday, N ovember 8. 1S90.
The hide market is unchanged, but weak
er. It as the general view of dealers a few
days ago that prices would be reduced by
the powers that be before this time. "While
there has been practically a reduction in
prices, nominally the old rates prevail. The
difference between green and salted hides
ordinarily is about ljr per pound. At
this time, for some reason that cannot be
explained, there is practically no difference.
Present price of buff hides is 6c per pound,
which is close to tbe lowest point
reached last spring, when prices were lower
than at any time since the war.
The season is now here when country people
do their killing, and as a result the offerings of
country hides are unusually large. Ihere is
very little life to the hide trade, but the gen
eral view of dealers and tanners is that prices
are down to hard pan and that future changes
will bo toward a higher level. Harness leather
is quiet but prices are well maintained. Tan
ners report some accumulation of stock, but
are not at all uneasy, as tbis is the rule at this
season of the year. Tanners have more points
to watch than others engaged in the hide
and leather industry.
The butcher has always a ready market
for bis hides and calfskins at some price,
while the tanner has to watch tbe
hide, leather and bark market all the
time, and if he does not watch these mar
kets very closely these times of close mirgins
and small profits be is very likclv to be left.
The following Is from tbe current number of
the Shoe and Leather Review as to the situa
tion of tbe rubber trade:
The Rubber Trade.
"A specially active movement in rubber goods
is reported in the East. Tbe companies are be
hind on their orders. Ihe demand still centers
on light goods, of which the mills are out of
stock and unable to fill orders promptly. Con
siderable quantities of warm lined goods and
lumbermen's boots are in stock awaiting the
call which will come with the advent of severe
weather. There has been a good deal of wet
weather all through tbe fall in nearly all sec
tions of the country. This has stimulated the
sales of light-weight rubbers. There has been
a slight tall of snow in Chicago during the
week, which has served to accentuate the
hopes of tbe trade that the coming winter will
prove a good selling season for rubber wear.
All accounts agree that neither retailers nor
jobbers hare anything like largestocks on band.
Altogether the outlook is fairly auspicious."
Flour Situation.
One of our leading jobbers of flour had this
to say of tho situation: "Stock of old spring
patents are well nigh exhausted, and new stock
is getting into condition, and will soon be as
good as the old. Prices are now close to bot
tom. Within the next ten days flour will, no
doubt, reach its lowest figure for this season.
Stocks in baud of our wholesale flour dealers
are light, and it is hardly possible that any
lower prices will prevail. The recent break in tbe
wheat market in the Northwest, which lowered
prices from 3 to 4c per bushel, has had the ef
fect of staying any upward movement in
flour."
Our country is big, and it is next to impossi
ble for speculators to boost prices tor any
length of time. While crops may be short in
one section, tbey aie large at other points, and
It Is demonstrated that there is bread enough
and to spare in tbe land.
Proilslons.
Frices in this line remain as tbey have been
for a few week's past. Receipts of hogs at Chi
cago for tbe first five days of November were
the largest on record. The average was about
33,000 head dailv. Top prices for the past few
davs have been Si 10 to SI 15 per hundred.
Hams and lard are likelv to go higher beloro
tbevgo lower. The advancing price of feed in
duces stockmen to push stock on the market as
fast as possible, and for this reason live stock
is a drag and likely to continue so for some time
to come,

CHICAGO Wheat There was good specula
tive trading to-day, and the leeling was again

no doubt having considerable influence on the
market, for, after a steady opening and a slight

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Markets in the grain line to-day exhibited a
feeling of weakness, o-vlng to our large, local
supply; but tbe futures told Implicitly that
values will be well sustained, especially in oats
and old ear and shelled corn. Quotations at
this writing cannot be changed, and will likely
remain statu quo till a change in the weather
will take place Yet tbe fact Is clear that prices
will bo higher than lower, as holders have en
tire confidence in their holdings. It is a stated
fact, and worthy of consideration, that one of
our local operators has in a measure controlled
the market in oats, but as a natural conse
quence, when the present receipts are con
sumed, a spirited market will be the result, as
the West is slow to offer any inducements on
any cereal in the grain line. There was but one
sale on call at the Grain Exchange, namely,
a car of sample oats, 52c, spot. Receipts as
bulletined, 28 cars,' of which 15 cars were re
ceived by Pittsburg. Cincinnati and St. Louif,
as follows: a cars of corn, 6 of oats, 3 of brar, I
of hay. By Pittsburg. Ft. Wayne and Chicago,
3 cars of hay. 2 of flour, 1 of rye, 1 of middling ,
lot oats. By Baltimore and Ohio. I car of flour,
1 or bay, 1 of straw. By Pittsbnrg and West
ern, 1 car of hav, 1 of flour. Receipts for tbe
week ending November 7, 292 cats, against 291
last week and 385 for the corresponding week
last year.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Prices Take a Downward Move Bears Pay
Particular Attention to Reading Im
portant Final Changes Prove
Losses Weak Tone.
New York, November 8. To-day's stock
market was merely an annex to that of yester
day, and weakness was still the great character
istic ot the dealings, pricesbeing still lower tbis
evening. Advices lrom London were rather
more favorable this morning, and tho recent
movements In tbe railroad world looking to
ward a better and more harmonious state of
affairs received more attention, and the disposi
tion was to look for any improvement in prices,
providing the bank statement should give any
assurance that a squeeze in money rate would
not compel the throwing overboard of purchases
witbin a reasonable time. The general expecta
tion was that tbe statement would show either
an improvement or only a slight change, and
the traders were disposed to cover their shorts
in the early trading with the help ot some buy
ing for foreign account. The opening nnder
these circumstances was made at prices which
were from i to per cent better than last
evening's figures, but notwithstanding the
buying the pressure to sell was still heavy, and
declines in the Grangers and some others were
very material in tbe flrst half hour's trading.
Illinois Central dropped 2 per cent, St. Paul
and Chicago Gas IK, Lackawanna a like
amount. Western Union 1, Sugar and Louis
ville Hi. and others 1 per cent and less. The
pressure was then abated, and comparative
dullness was accomplished by considerable of
a reaction in tbe list when stagnation in prices
succeeded.
Tbe bank statement when issued showed a
rednction in tbe surplus reserve of about
$3,600,000. and there was immediately another
rush to sell for both sides of the account and
another sharp break followed in which partic
ular attention was paid by tbe bears to Read
ing, Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago and St.
Lonis, and St. Paul preferred, eacb dropping
away about 2 per cent, while losses of 1 per
cent, and unaer were numerous. Tbe pressure
showed no abatement up to the close, although
some stocks had not lost all of tbe reaction
from tho lowest prices of the first hour.
Others, however, reached still lower figures
than were touched yesterday and tbe close
was active and weak at or about the lowest
prices ot the day. As compared with last
evening, Reading is down Vf New England.
1; Lackawanna, Northern Pacificpreferred
and New York Central, each 1!4; St. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville, each 1; Illinois
Central and Burlington and Qulncy. each 1 per
cent, and others fractional amounts) while
Pullman is 1 higher and Pacific Mail 1 per
cent.

MOVEMENTS IN STOCKS.
Trading Very Light and Values Apparently
Without Recuperative Power.
Although local stocks at present prices are
generally considered a good purchase, there is
marked indisposition to Invest in them. This
feeling was very conspicuons the past week,
and the consequence was a dull and declining
market. Sales were 862 shares against L5SS
the previous week. There was no demoraliza
tion, however, as holders were not pressing
sales.
Causes for the depression are found in the
usual let-up of speculation at the end of the
year, and fears of tight money abroad,
if not at home, symptoms of which are
cropping out in England, as shown by tbe un
expected advance in the interest rate by the
Bank of England to restrain the flow of specie
abroad. There is nothing really alarming in
this, however. Money is more actively em
ployed than usual at tbis season of the year,
and earnings are phenomenally large. The
yearly settlements are not far off, when large
sums will be released for investment. Alto
gether, tbe situation is assuring; and the
threatened stringency, if it comes at all, can
have no serious effects, as it cannot be of long
duration.
Final prices of local securities Saturday, as
compared with those of the previous Saturday,
snow the following changes in tbe leaders:
Philadelphia Gas lost K. Central Traction ,
Luster Electric K, and Switch and Signal
X- New York and Cleveland Gas Coal was tbe
only thing that scored a material advance. It
gained two points. Manufacturers' Gas was a
little firmer.
AIL IS WELL.
Money in Good Shape and Continued Gains
Over Last Year.
Local bankers, while under no apprehension
of a tightening of tbe mohey Hues, are proceed
ing carefully, so as to be prepared for
emergencies. The stock of loanable fnnds in
this market is quite sufficient to keep the
wheels of business m motion, especially as the
demand keeps within reasonable limits. Rates
were quoted Saturday at 67per cent on call
and time loans.
Bank clearing for the week were a trifle In
excess ot thoe for the previous week, and
nearly 52,000,000 greater than for tbe same
period last year. So long as gains over 1SS9
continue, all is well.

Drygoods.
New York. November 8. It was very qniet
in tbe drygoods market, the half holiday feel
ing being intensified by warm weather ana tbe
unsubslded political interests. There was no
change, however, in the situation in the char
acter of demand.
Advertising
it is said will sell anything, this is
true in a measure; but for staying
qualities,- merit is tho test. Extensive
advertising may sell anything where
it is new or unknown, but after it
comes into general use, it is judged
according to its worth. The continued
and steady growth of Swift's Specific
is the best evidence of its excellence.
It is most popular where it is best
known. Every bottle sold, sells ten
others. Every one that takes it be
comes its friend, and recommends it
to their acquaintances.

TWENTY-FIVE NEIGHBORS
Of Mr. Eahn have called on tbe catarrh
specialists, at 323 Penn avenue, for treatment
since he became cured now nearly six months
ago. They knew how he had suffered for so
Mr. Fred Hahn, Sfiarpstmrff.
many years not finding any relief from the 30
doctors he had employed. He suffered from
belching of gas from his stomach after
eating", sour taste and often felt like
vomiting his food. His appetite was
poor, and as his liver was much en
larged it gave him great pain. In fact, he
wonld often be taken with such sharp cramps
and pain across bis stomach and bowels it
seemed as If herould notljve. He bad palpi
tation of the heart, dizziness, weakness and
pain across the small of bii back, and a numb,
lifeless feeling in his limbs. He could get but
little sleep, and as every change of weather
gave him a cold, he took on a lingering cough.
His breath became sbort and he felt palu and
oreness in bis lungs and nnder bis shoulder
blades. Night sweats weakened him very fast,
and he gradually grew worse until ha lost 30
pounds of flesh. Many of bis friends thought
he bad consumption, and that be mnst die from
that terrible disease. On calling on the catarrh
specialists he was told be could yet be cured.
Although he had but little faith, he re
solved to try ooce more, and after
taking a course of treatment, be says:
"The above history of my disease and cure is
true In every repect.,I bad received treat
ment lrom 3) physicians, yet gradually grew
worse, and for one year before beginning treat
ment with these physicians I was scarcely able
to do any work.
"It is now over five months since 1 became
cured and not oue of tbe above sjmptoms have
returned. 1 work hard every day. ieel well
and strong; and words do not express the loy I
feel that my life has been spared and bealth re
stored. FRED HAHN."
