For The Tribune. , Oh, aged Oak! grim relic of the past, Arrayed in hoary grandeur bleak nnd ba re, Through thy fantastic, limbs the cruel blast Shrieks with frenzied fury tho weird glare; Of lightning, vivid, streaks athwart the air; Kxulitlng In thy anguish, deep nnd sore; Hurling a branch with each succeeding flare. Thus to the ground the fiery Antilles bore My ancient, trusty friend who fell, to rise no more. Oh, fallen Oakl once thou didst proudly rear Thy lenferowned branches to tho sum mer ulty, And oft the storm's wild fury thou didst bea r As with a roar It swept so swiftly by. Shrieking with gk-e to sweep tho moun tains high. Or clothe tho fragrant field with wild despair, And wake the hollow caves with startling cry. And left thee,, noble Onk, so tall and fair, Unmnlmcd, to grow again thy wonted way A home for weary pilgrims at the close of day, . Oft to thy grateful shade I pensive strolled, " When morning, lovely nymph on dewy wing, Ope'd the great gates of light, with keys of gold To hold communion with my Ood and King. Or haply listen to the voice of spring; Irs tuneful numbers kiss thn morning air Diffusing life and Joy to everything; And wafting . fragrant 'Incense every where, X--, ; .;. . . Arranged .In flowery robes, so beautiful and fair, k Thus, llko tho 'Oak, f, In youth's golden vale: ' So fanciful. and free with flery.glow. And gestures Wild' defy the howling gale Filled Willi, my strength, and far too proud to bow.

He has been a business man and permanent resident of Elmlra for over twenty years. . A man whose state ment cannot be disputed. Well, Mr. Rod der's cose in a nutshell Is that he has been a sutTcrer from kidney disorders, but doesn't suffer any more. We will let him tell what has brought about the change. Hero is how he spoke of his case to our representative: "f have never been well since the closing of the war, where. In the service of my coun try, I contracted kidney and bladder dis orders. The complaint has gradually been growing on me. I had sharp pains In the small of my back, just back of the hips, and when they left It was only to bo followed by a dull, heavy pain which remained continually. 1 could lie in but ono or two positions In bed or the pain would be almost unbearable. I was ulways very sore over the kidneys, and tho urine emitted a strong odor. At times I felt existenco a task. I tried this, that and the other thing, to no avail, and was on the verge of giving up entirely when I saw Uoau's Kidney Pills iidvertlaed. I thought uu a Inst resort I would give them a trial: they were highly recommended, and I would use just this one more remedy. I began taking them, und 1 inn very gluJ Indeed to glvo my statement, tliut suffering humanity may receive the same benefit I have. A few doses of Dean's Kidney Pllhi satlslled mo they were helping nie. Now, tho pain is all gone, und I am en tirely well tills, after years of sickness. My sleep ut night la good and refreshing.

The railway and miscellaneous speculation was very ir regular today. At the opening the mar ket was strong owing to the slightly lower rates of sterling exchange; u be lief that but little gold would be for warded to Europe tomorrow and Unully to un Impression that the trunk line and Central Tralllc associations at their meeting today would form a new orga nization fur the (better maintenance of rates nnd reduction of expense. This caused a general advance of to 1, and at the top notch there was consid erable covering of shorts. The stocks most prominent In the early rise were the Grangers, iSouthwestcrns, anthra cite coalers, Louisville and Nashville, Tennessee Coal and Iron. The railway list held its advance pretty well and as a rule prices closed M, to Hi per cent, higher on the day. The Indus trials were active and feverish through out. Chicago Gas bounded up to 71 ',4 In the first hour, then sold back to 67H and closed at 67. The rise brought out long stock and the after noon decline was partly due to this selling. Sugar rose to 108 and dropped to 104alO5;'.. Leather, Gen eral Electric and Lead were notably firm. In the last hour the general list was a shade easier. The Industrials made net losses on th day of to 2 per cent. General Electric and Leather preferred were exceptions and gained a per cent.

The high water mark In Iron and steel has been touched and the prices have begun to recede. On Thursday Hessemer pig dropiied from $17.50 to $17 and steel billets from $24.50 and $23 to $24.25 and $24.50. This Is the first de cline s-ince priees began to rise lust December. A further decline Is very probable, as prices were bultt up large ly on the expectation of labor troubles. The decline will be of some slight bene fit to tin plate and steel plate manu facturers. President Walters, of the "Delaware. Susquehanna and -Schuylkill railroad, who has been spending the summer months In Europe, Is expected to arrive nt Drifton on Sun day. -Speculation Is already rife ns to who will succeed the lamented Lanlel Coxe as superintendent of tha Delaware. Susquehanna and Schuyl. kill. Among the names mentioned are those of A. F. Harager and James F. Sweeney. Well Informed railroad men, however, are of the opinion that It will be an entire Ktranger. A meeting of the directors will likely be held next week, when the matter will be dls potted of. Preparations are on foot for putting the whole plant of the Maryland Steel company, at Sparrow's Point, Aid., Into operation. It Is expected that the works will be In full blast by.Junuary next. As is well known, 'this is a branch of the Pennsylvania Steel com pany, nnd the works have been Idle, or partially so, since that company got Into di'Ilculty some years ago. The plant Is an entirely modern one, and is one of the largest In tho country. When In full operation the works have n capacity of 1,000 tons of pig Iron per day. or .T.O.OO"! tons per annum, and iiOO.i'OO pteel rails per annum. The pay rolls will bear the names of 3.W0 employees when work Is fully resumed. In commenting upon the railroad sit uation. General Manager Joseph Wood, of the Pennsylvania company, Is quoted as saying that the business of the Pennsylvania lines was good and promised to be so for some time to come because of the revival of other Industrie!!, more especially the Iron and coal Industries. Mr. Wood expressed himself as pleased with the manner the several divisions had handled the heavy passenger traflic of late, the ex. emption from accident to passengers and damage to equipment being re markable. He does not take so rosy a view of the outlook for business as some oflicials do, but expressed the opinion that both passenger anrl freight traflic will be heavier this fall and winter than in the fall and winter of IM.
