TRADE WAS UGHTiGHS CLOSED UP
On Stock Exchange Yesterday Most
Transactions Completed First
Hour Then Idleness Set In.
New York, June 24. The complex
ion of affairs in the stock marwet to
day took on a colorless hue and trad
ing sank almost to a point of idleness.
The largo proportion of the day's
scanty total of shares transferred were
sold in the first hour of th the session.
This little spurt of activity subsided
immediately and practical stagnation
ensued. The serious illness of the Re
publican nominee for vice president
seemed to have an effect of emphasis
ing the hesitation incident to the pro
gress of a political campaign, while
the death of Ex-President Cleveland
camp as something of a shock to th"
public and had moteria! influence in
deepening the prevailing mood.
Reported rupture of wage negotia
tions between the Republic Iron and
Steel ompany and its workmen made
an unfavorable impression as adding
to the possibilities of wage disturb
ance in that trade. A favorable influ
ence was the belief In the success of
efforts to rehabilitate the Westing-
muse Electric and .Manufacturing com
pany.
Weaher news is scanned wit Ii con
slant attention, and any movement in
the commodities markets that, may be
relied on as a true idex of crop condi
tions, is looked for closely. The ex
treme ease of call money is attributed
to some temporary accumulations in
preparation for. July settlements.

In the world's religions those who
are usually termed heathen have a
larger place numerically than ail the
other religious divisions. Mohamme
dans, Ruddhists, Rrahmins and all
other non-Christians except the Jews
number together about 1,400.000,000,
leaving but about 44S.OOO.OOO to be
divided among the Roman Catholics,
Protestants of all denominations, Ar

Their Double-Bedded Room.
At Nice two travelers arrive at a
hotel and having ordered a double
bi nlded chamber go out to take a stroll.
When they return to the hotel the
fair chambermaid lights them to their
door, and, with a bewitching courtesy,
sas: "Here is your double-bedded
room, gentlemen. One of the beds is
occupied by two other guests, so you
will have to sleep together. Good
night." True and False Friendship.
Noah Webster distinguished between
true and false friendship as follows:
"True friendship is a noble and virtu
ous attachment, springing from a pure
source, a respect for worth or amiable
qualities. False friendship may sub
sist between had men, as between
thieves and pirates. This is a tempo
rary attachment, springing from Inter
est, and may change in a moment to
enmity and rancor."

S Beat the Record
BY NELUE SARGENT
"Then that Is your final answer?"
demanded Rob Burroughs, n he
stood with uncovered head at tlic
foot of the Pullman steps.'
"It Is final so far as New York I;
joncerned," declared Nellie Presi ott
with a laugh as she tripped up tin
steps. "You are at liberty to repeat
thu question In San Francisco, and
perhaps I may give a different an
swer there."
Rob followed her up the steps and
presently he was standing beside the
section In which she was to make the
Journey from New York to Chicago
the first of her transcontinental
trip.
Now, us soon as the porter had
gone, he faced her eagerly. "Tell
me," he pleaded, "why might there
be a different answer in San Fran
cisco?" Nellie's face grew suddenly grave.
"There was perhaps 110 need of such
mystery, Mr. Burroughs," she said,
"but before I oiuiw east I promised
my mother that I would not accept
any proposal seriously until she had
opportunity to pass judgment."
"I will see you," he suid, "lu San
Francisco."
Four days later he presented him
self at the Prescott home in Vanness
Avenue. Mrs. Prescott, stately but
clearly puzzled, presented herself
before .the agitated young man.
"What Is It?" she demanded
breathlessly. "Is JPCellle ill or dead,
and have they sent you to tell ma?"
'' '"Then you know me?" ho com
mented Joyously.
"I know' tho name from Nellie's
tetters," she said, "but that does not
inswer the question."
' "Miss Prescott Is all right so far
is 1 know," he answered. "I left her
In New York in the best of health.
Hid for all I know, nothing lias hap
iviied, please flml! I Just wanted' to
lnd out If you liked me."
Mrs. Prescott Bank into a chair. "I
mi afraid that I cannot follow your
"niversatlon. Why should I like you,
t ml why should you come to San
i'ranclsco to find out?"
Hurrotiglis laughed a hearty Info
ions laugh.
"You are not expected to under
tnd," he explained, "until I tell
oil that I want to " marry your
laughter, and she told nie that I
hould have to gain your consent
lrst. I Imagine from tho way she
aid It that 1 may hope, If you ap
prove, and I thought I would get out
here first so that' I might ask her as
soon as she arrived." '" ' '
"She said you had to iiass Jndg
nent personally," he exclaimed mod
estly, "and I was in a hurry." "
This time It was Mrs. Pi st;ott who
laughed, and Burroughs, interpret
ing It as a favorable' sign, laughed
too. ''
"I can see clearly , that you are not
larking in ardor. I have had the
best reports of you from those who
thought that I might be Interested 'In
Knowing, if Nellie will accept you,
Mr. Burroughs, I shkll be glad to
acknowledge such an enterprising
young man as my son-in-law."
'
Meanwhile Nellie "Prescott had
been beguiling her dreary trip over
the plains at Intervals ' by ' quietly
weeping. She had grdwn very fond
of Bob Burroughs, and had it not
been for the promise she had given
her mother sha would have Journ
eyed West with a ring upon the en
gagement finger.
She had been at a loss to account
for his abrupt departure, even In
spite of the kiss upon ber hand.
There had been a 10-lninute wait be
fore the train started.
Then the train began to run
through the Sierras and Nellie dried
her eyes, for the Sierra Nevada
mountains are good tven for the
heartache, and the grandeur of the
scenery causes one to forget such
pitiable things as the human emo
tions. Once In the station she looked
about her for her people. Surely
some one must have come across tha
bay. But In all the crowd there was
not a familiar face, and her heart
grew more heavy as she passed the
different family parties happy In
their reunion.
Then suddenly she stood still.
There, on the edge of the crowd, was
Burroughs. She shook herself. Sure
ly this was some trick of her tear
Jlmmed eyes, some hallucination of
a tired brain. '
But there was no deception In tba
hearty voice at her elbow.
"Your mother approves, dar!"
She did not stop to ask how ha
had come to be there. She only
raised a mute, questioning face to
his. To her It mattered not how he
came to be there. The Important
fact was that hjraa there. M
