Two Swedes who were looking for Scan-
dlanvlan friends picked up a couple of
strange Danes on the street Saturday after
noon. When they parted the Danes were
120 poorer as a result of the acquaintance

The Swedes fwero rather polite fellows and
had no trouble In becoming acquainted with
the Danes , Chris Petersen and Peter Pe
terson , who were going to a store to pur
chase a suit of clothes. The Swedes wanted
them to go out to the exposition grounds
and sec the sights They consented , stop
ping In at a saloon on the way to trlnk
some beer. Then they caught a car and
todo to the -grounds.
Soon after they alighted they were met
by a man with a jcllow coat , who claimed
to ho a eouthwcstern ranchmnn. This
stranger told them of the money ho had
lost playing cards In Kansas City. Then
they took a wafk toward the Missouri Pa-
rlflc bridge , where they found a lot of ties.
The ranchman was willing to show them
how ho was beaten. Ho had four cards ,
two bearing the devil on them , the other
two having roosters across their face. Ho
left one devil in his pocket and then be
gan to slip the cards through hla fingers.
It was the same old story. Pretty soon
the Swedes were betting and then one of the
Danes , Peter Petersen , caught the fever.
Ho knew he could pick out the devil , but
his Batanlc majesty always failed to show
up. Finally the Swedes took the remainder
of his money from him and handed It to the
ranchman. The Danes came to the police
station and complained of their loss of $20.
They said they could Identify the three men
without fall.
The Peterson boys have been working near
Mead , Kan. , and were on their way to Elkhorn -
horn , Neb , where they expect to Ilnd work.
They have about $5 left between them.
A WORD FOR FLOWER MISSIONS
I'rcnlilcnt of < hc Eimiift Flower Mln-
xioii nxpInliiN Itx ClmrUitlilc nml
OMAHA. Juno 17. To the Editor of The
Deo. We do not wonder that whoever wrote
the criticism on "Flower Mission Methods , "
which appeared In last Sunday's Dee , did
not cut her name to such an uncharitable
article. Wo do not , as a rule , bellevo in
noticing such things , as we have a particu
lar dislike to anything obscure , but as it
begins with a reference to the request we
made for flowers It cannot help but reflect
on our flower mission.
Not for one moment do wo take to our
selves the ungenerous fault-finding of this
anonymous invalid , as the methods com
plained of are never used by us , but In
justice to the faithful girls who go out every
Thursday on this mission of love and to all
who have helped and sympathized with us In
the work , and that wo may not bo misunder
stood by those who know nothing of it , we
feel that wo must say a word for ourselves ,
for wo are jealous of the good name of the
Emma now or Mission.
Ours has been strictly a flower mission.
We have never given texts of scripture with
* the flowers , but hdd wo done so wo would
np , .havo thought of any one misconstruing
J * the meaning of the beautiful text quoted as
a "h remlnddr of dependence. "
Wo go to the rich as well as the poor , with
rtho fiamo offerinc ; for each , and wo have
foind | persons -who , like out unknown critic ,
had an abundance of flowers , yet took our
little bouquet or single flower , whichever It
happened to he , In the spirit In which It was
given , Instead of with the air of "I have
plenty of flowers , thank vou. I have rich
friends. Give your poor little rose to some
one not as well off as I. " Oh ! how a recep
tion of this kind would wound the heart of
the "flower girl. " Perhaps , had "Dolly" been
able , she might have appreciated the one
little flower.
The manner of glvlnir , ns the critic finds
It , cannot apply to us either , or wo would not
hear from nurses In the hospitals , as well
as from the patients themselves , how much
good our weekly visits do. Wo remember
going Into a hospital when a pitlent said
ns we entered with our basket of flowers :
"It docs us good Just to see you coming In "
Our manner could not have been so Indiffer
ent or our face borne a bored expression or
wo would not have been greeted thus.
The world Is made up curious people and
It Is expected that deeds most kindly meant
should sometimes ho wasted on an unap-
preclatlve person , but In the five years of
flower giving among the afflicted this Is the
very flrst Instance of anything approaching
fault-flndlnc that has come to our notice.
On _ the contrarv , the smiling faces , the
viifsperpd blessings and thankful letters
for a gleam of sunshlno shed on the path
of suffering have been without number and
i\io among the most precious memories of
those Interested.
It Is not a work of charity only as It Is
hlgnlflcant of love and only n distorted Im
agination could put any other construction
on the acts of these "flower slrls , "
As the critic has been "confined In seven
different hospitals" It may be that she has
had BCIIHO such cxpcrlenoo as quoted , hut
this should not bo allowed to reflect on all
work of this kind and give people In general
an erroneous idea of It. Naturally a young
girl would feel a llttlo timid. In approaching
n stranger nnd a llttlo awed In the face of
so much they do not understand and the
Pimple remark , "Havo a flowpr , " would bo
wiser thnn discussing "physicians nnd all-
mentK" with the sick Sometimes there are
mistakes made In receiving as well as giving ,

real has been Issued over the name of 1'iesi-
limit F. V. Greene of the trustees of the
Cuban orphan fund :
"Tint distress exlbtlng among children lu
Cuba Is not appreciated. In the rcconcen-

"Tho object of this committee Is , first , to

"It Is estimated that nt least 50,000 children

"From the Cubans we are assured of sub

to contribute , They will glvo gratuitous

dollars can bo expended advantageously
within the coming year In helping the
Cubans to help themselves.
"Devoted. Intelligent nnd practical women

NEW YORK , Juno 18. The Financier
says The bank statement for the week
ending June 17 Is logical , If the fact that the
previous exhibit did not show the result of
current operations Is taken Into account.
The loss of nearly $7.000,000 cash , for In
stance , cannot bo traced to the business of
the last week , especially since the Tatter experts -
ports of gold figure In the totals only
slightly But na the former week's losses
were not shown at the time , the averages
are about correct
The diniculty In understanding the weekly
statements lies In the fact that the nystem
of computation employed tends to minimize
or exaggerate real conditions. The fea
ture of the current statement Is the re
markable expansion of $15,902 GOO In foaiis ,
a sum very much larger than anticipated
There has been , It is true , some revival In
Stock exchange activity , but not enough to
warrant a violent Increase such as shown by
the loan account. Probably a portion of the
previous week's business has been carried
Into the present statement.
Following the expansion of nearly $11-
000,000 for the week ending Juno 10 , the
total loan Increase of $25,000.000 and over
In two weeks makes pFaln why reserves nn
decreasing , as the gold shipped to Europe
has not affected the totals to the extent de
scribed The deposit expansion of $9,938,400
has Increased reserve requirements about
$2,500,000 and this , added to the loss of
$6.805,300 In specie , decreases the reserve by
$9,319,900 , making a reduction In the last
two weeks In this Item of over $12,000,000.
Still as the present reserve Is very much
nbovo the average reported over the spring
months , the current decrease Is not over
whelmingly Important. The Interest cen
ters In the question of how much further the
liabilities of the bankers are to be expanded
and whether the operations now at work will
have the effect of raising money rates. The
latter possibility Is by no moans uncertain.
Its Influence will be to put u stop Immedi
ately to gold exports.

LONDON , June 18 Business on the
Stock exchange was at a standstill last
week , owing to the fine weather , the Ascot
attractions , and the settlement , added to
the critical position In the Transvaal. The
eye of the public Is now opened to the grav
ity and complexity of the questions In
volved and It Is not likely that deafera and
operators will care to Increase their com
mitments until a way out of the deadlock
Is Indicated.
The mo\ements for the week were unim

Spanish Is , which , after openlifg at 66.25 ,
closed at 63.50 on rumors of the taxation

CATTL E Receipts of cattle today were
very light and there were not enough of
any kind to really make a market. The
most of those here were cornfrd steers
which sold at good strong prices. An ex
port buyer from Liverpool was on the mar
ket and picked up .all the good cattle , pay
ing JI.S3Si6.15. Considering that It was the
last day of the week there was considerable
Interest in the trade and everything was
sold and weighed up at un early hour. The
few cows and heifers In the yards brought
good steadv prices and the same was true
of bulls , calves , tc.
Receipts of cattle this week have been
considerably larger than for the previous
week , as will be noted from the table of
receipts at the head of the column. The
result has been that buyers have had a.
better opportunity to discriminate as to the
kind of cattle that they wanted , and on
some days hea\ > cattle were neglected to
some extent The early part of the week ,
washouts kept back trains and added to the
dullness of the market. On Wednesday
heavy cattle were generally lOc lower than
the week before , and on Thursday and
Friday they were slow , though not much
difference was noted In the matter of
prices. At the end of the week there was
some little Improvement owing to a let up
In the receipts and a. better demand , so
that the week ended about where it started.
Light cattle were the best sellers all the
week and did not show much change in
values.
Butchers stock , such as good dryfed cows
and heifers , wore active sellers all the
week , as the supply wan llRht and the
demand good. Anything with a show of
grass was discriminated against , and there
was a wide range in prices between drylot
and grass stuff Bulls , If fat , were good
sellers regardless of weights. Veal calves
brought the same prices all the week , the
best going at $7 00. Stock oattle .sold strong
the middle of the week , hut at the close
the feellnff was lower.
HOGS Value * were strong today In spite
of the fact that it was the last day of the
week and the receipts were large. Buyers
seemed to want the hogs , provided they
could get them at $3 62'XTor good mixed
loads , and sellers who were willing to take
the price had no difficulty In unloading.
The big bulk of the hogs bold early and It
was by no means late when a clearance
was effected. The average of all the Bales
was a little higher , as there were fewer
sales at S3 GO.
The receipts of hoga this week have been
targe , but at the same time the market has
been In fairly good condition The week
started out with a decline of about 2c , but
values advanced 7' o on Tuesday and the
market was a shade stronger on Wednes
day , which proved to be the high point of
the week. Thursday's market was a shade
easier and Friday s market was also a very
little lower 'Ihe week closed with values
just about 5c higher than they were on
Monday and a shade higher than they were
at tUa dDSP of the previous week.
SHL3DP There were a few cars here to
day , but they w't'ro consigned direct to
packers and wore not offered for sale.
Desirable muttons , both sheep and lambs ,
have been in active demand nil the week ,
and as receipts have been HO very light
packers have been forced to ship In supplies
from other marketer wherever they were
to bo found The few loads offered on the
market huvo been snapped up qulck.y at
prices that were at least strong as com
pared with other markets The tendency of
values has been steadily upward all the
week and It Is safe to say that the market
Is fully 25f(40c ( ( highei for the six days

ing Immediately to 78ac. The advance at
Liverpool , following yesterday's decline
here , came as a surprise to traders and was
taken to indicate that the conservative
English market was at last responding to
the Russian crop damage news. Domestic
crop news , however , was favorable at llrst
and shortly after the opening a rsallzlng
movement sot in which carried the price
back to TS'ic. Ideal weather for harvest
ing operations was repoited from the south
west , while In the noithwest the cool wave
following the recent heavy rains quieted
fears for the growing crop , Minneapolis
and Duluth receipts were liberal 597 cars ,
against 6SS last week and 93 a year ago.
Chicago receipts were 113 cars , ten of con-
tiact quality Primary western market re
ceipts were 732,000 bushels , against only 199-
000 bushels a year ago. Atlantic port clear-
anc s were equal to 225,000 bushels. Export
trade at New York was only moderate , but
200000 bushels were reported worked from
here Shortly before 11 o'clock the market
again took an upward turn and from that
time on was decidedly strong. Private ca-
bl's and New York advices all confirmed
the damage to Russian crops and also said
that the drouth was spreading to districts
that heretofore ihave not been affected.
Shorts covered liberally. Outside buying
was heavy on unfavorable reports from
harvesting operations in southern Illinois.
St. Louis bought freely during- the last
hour. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
large Hour sales. September advanced
steadily to TSo and was bringing 7Sc at
the close.
Corn was quiet but firm in the main and
closed at Vic advance. Receipts at primary
points were large , 070 cars arriving at Chicago
cage , and weather conditions were consid
ered perfect. The market , however , sym
pathized with wheat. S-ptember ranged
from , ' ! 4y034c to 35'4c and closed at 3" > ' 4c.
Oats was strong on heavy buying for both
accounts A large cash business was re
ported , 550,000 bushels being worked here
for export. .Receipts were 216 cars. Sep
tember ranged from 21c to 22H022c and
closed "Who " higher at 22'/4'fi22 ' > sc.
Provlfalons were exceptionally quiet , noth
ing but a narrow scalping business being
done. There was some early sympathy
with lower hog prices , but the market re
covered later with the grain advance and
remained steady to the close. At the close-
September pork was unchanged at JS.40 ,
September lard unchanged at $5 15 and Sep
tember ribs unchanged at $4 82 . .
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
110 cars ; corn , CGO cars ; oats , 220 cars ; hogs ,
51,000 head.

CHAIIACTHR OP CHAPLAINS.

That the army Is not exactly conducive to
the upbuilding of splendid moral characters
Is pretty generally conceded , says the Sa
vannah News , but soldiers sometimes have
things to say about their spiritual advisers
that induce one to believe something of what
Sam Small had to say about chaplains
that they nro not very much good and are
merely "sops to public sentiment. "
Many chaplains are ns good men in the
army ns out and the lives of strict and up
right Christianity they led 'before ' entering
the army have been followed with oven
greater precision than before they doffed
their clerical vestmentu to don the soldier's
coat with the cross on the shoulder atrap.
But there are others.
A regiment that arrived not long since
from Cuba nnd passed on through to an
other city to bo mustered out had what the
soldiers denominated a "peach of n chap
lain , " Ho had been a minister before enter
ing the service nnd It is probable he will
return to his congregation when he Is mus
tered out and bo as sanctimonious as re
quirements demand. I3ut In the army ho
has been looked upon as a sort of bon vlvant
and a rare old sport ,
Whllo the chaplain did not play poker , he
was yet a Judge of the gieat game , and It
always gave him a pain to see a novice los
ing golden opportunities with good hands.
He sat behind an officer , young In the serv
ice , on the way up from Cuba. Time had
hung heavily and a quiet little six-handed
game had started. Pay day had been almost
forgotten it had been so long since the pay
master had turned over the crlep now hills
that Undo Sam uses to pay off his soldiers ,
so the limit was small ,
The chaplain was Interested. Perhaps In
his younger and sinful1 days he hnd bucked
the striped cat himself and a llttlo of the
virus of those days remained. He continued
to Inspect the hands ns they were dealt the
officer In front of him , The latter was not
superstitious and made no objection to the
chaplain sitting behind him , hut fkmlly ho
got three Jaks Another player made a
good stiff bluff and raked down the pot the
jacks should have won. "You play like a
fish , " said the chaplain. "Why the mischief
didn't you kick him up ? " which , In the days
of the pastor chaplain's youth meant "raise
him. "
When one of the regiments discharged
hero was about to go out of the service a
question arose about the chaplain. Ills
senior offlccro were In a quaindary. The
chaplain had forsaken the straight and
narrow paths , officers and men said , and
there had been nothing of a very religious
character about him since his connection
with the command , though he had been a
good preacher before securing his commis
sion and bad stood well in the church. It
was another example of the effect of army
life. Finally It was decided to hold a court
of Inquiry to look Into the chaplain's record
and the result was that he was the only
olllcer In the regiment who received a dis
charge reading "sen Ice not honest and
faithful "
One of the best fellows In the world was a
chaplain who was here for awhile. He had
n lot of friends la Savannnn , but they did
not eeo what he was a chaplain for. They
called it practical religion , but the deslgna-

AND NOTIONS
tlon nalfed the general run of practical re
ligion as intensely unpractical , for it was
as different from that shown by the chaplain
as it could well have been. The chaplain
had never shown any great fondness for
holding services even In this country and
when his command reached Cuba their
frequency was not Increased. His plea ,
when his brother officers Joked him about It ,
was that ho had no plac& to hold services.
"I'll call that bluff , " a young captain de
cided , and he got a lot of his men together
and built a "tabernacle. " The bfulf was
called amd the chaplain "went to the dctk. "
TIIC IlUTIllKIJ
He Doom n Mnii a Service mill In
Trcntccl I.ll.e a Man lu Heturii.
"Tho thing that fixed my eye In this
room , " says the retired burglar In the New
York Sun , "was a traveling bag ; not an
empty traveling bag , just lying around , but
a full bag , evidently just packed and all
ready to pick up and carry off , and when I
swept my lamp along a little further on
the lloor it struck a chair , with
a man's hat on U , and , sweeping
the lamp around Just a little bit
further still , I struck a l > ed with a man
stretched out on It , completely dressed. Ho
was all ready to go , and Just waiting for
the hour , and he'd laid down there just to
lie down and rest himself or to take a nap
till his time came to start.
"How he expected to know about that was
easy enough to see from an alarm cloch
that stood on the sill of a window near the
head of the bed. I picked that up and
looked at it and saw that It was set to geoff
off at 2 o'clock. It was then about a quar
ter past 2. Whether the alarm had gone off
and failed to wako him up , or whether it
was likely to ring at any minute while I
was standing there , or whether It vvm
bubted up and wouldn't go off at all was
something that of course I couldn't tell ,
but that Interested me very much. I stood
there thinking about It and at the same time
sort of swinging my lamp round to finish
surveying the room when the light fell on
a yellow paper that was lying with one end
of It kind o' bent up on top of the bureau ,
and when I came to look at this I saw it
was a telegraph blank. It was a message
that this man had received and put down
there on the bureau. It said something
like this :
" 'If you want to see Mary alive , you
want to como by the first train , '
"Well , now , I Imagine ho must have got
that dispatch somewhere along about mid
night , and he'd packed his bag and got
ready to start and had an hour or two to
spare , and so he'd sot Ills alarm clock and
laid down to wait. You know I don't think
tie should have laid down and taken any
chance on that at all , but of coin so I'd got
to wako him up ; the only question was how.
"I might have kicked o\er a chair or two
In his room , or gone outside and thrown a
rock against the window- blinds , hut this
might not have woke him up , and thcro
wasn't any time to spare. You see , F know
the train. I had been In'this town on busi
ness before and I had taken it myself. It
left at 2-18 , nnd It was now about 2 30 and
something more than a mlle to the station.
So I just loans over and shakes him on the
shoulder , and when ho turns his head I
blinds him for a minute with the light and
1 says to him1
" 'Old man , It's about tlmo for you to begetting
getting up. ' '
" 'What time Is If' ho nays , covering his
eyes from the light , but getting up at the
name time , and I tells him that it's about
2 20 , nnd up he Jumps very biiddcn.
"What ho'd do about me , or try to do , of
course I couldn't tell , hut I'd made up my
inlaid what I was going to do when I was
shaking his shoulder , and when ho finds his
feet and begins to get up I says to him
" 'I'm going to take that train myself. '
"And I wafkcd down to the station with
him , neither of us saying boo.
' 'Ho got Into the smoking car when the
train came along , and I got In Bomowhern
else. I didn't sco him get off or where ho
was going , I didn't look for him , hut I know
well enough that there wasn't any danger
of his golnp to slrep again ,
"Years after that , walking down nroadway ,
here In this town , I saw that man coming I
would have sort of casually walked by , my-
felf , and not seen him , but ho saw me , and
stojrpcxl and shook hands.
" 'Old man , ' ho says , 'she's living yet ,
thank God1 but I never'd have forgive my-
Bclf If I'd have missed that train
"And then he shakos hands with me again
and passes on ; ho never offered to stake me ,
nor nothing , and I liked that best of all. "

ComertiUK- lllxtorlc Hillllcc Into
n IMroproof Strnutiiru.
To the eye of the casual observer , snya
the Boston Tianscrlpt , there has been llttlo
change In the appearance of Kiuncult hall
filncc the day when the familiar tower of
that hls-toilc edifice was r.i7ed nnd the roof
nnd timbers torn out by the contractors to
whom It had been given over for Improve
ment. The public Is quite familiar with ,
the plans of the nichlteots. They were to
provide a structure conforming > to the mod
ern Ideas of building an edifice solid on
its foundations , eafo from basement to
tower top , and withal fireproof. It was for
this reason that the occupants of the base
ment were discommoded for many weeks ,
whllo massive stones wore dragged Into po
sition , existing wall's strengthened and col
umns of Iron and steel substituted for pll-
I.irs of wood. This 'was the first step. Then T
the tower disappeared and the familiar :
deep true of the great bell no longer
warned the Inhabitants of flro or the noon
hour Next , the public was excluded from
the ancient hall and 'tho haunts of nn hon
orable military organisation no longer re
sounded to martial trend. Outwardly thai
was the only sign of the havoc within , save
the debris poured from the entrance and
carted away to the dump.
In all these months that the contractors
have been at work on the old building a
great change has boon wrought Th build
ing has been piactlcally demolished save
the moro outnldo shelf. The old girders ,
lathing nnd plastering have been torn out.
The masslvn beams that once supported tha
roof , lloor nnd galleries have been cut nwiy.
The wcrk was nt first low , owing to the
delay In receiving the steel work. Now , hnw-
M'er , the heaviest work Is almost completed
nnd the lighter construction will bo rushed
to completion with nil possible speed. Steel
framework , otcpl girders nnd ctool beams
have replaced the old-stylo wooden con
struction.
The interior of the old hall pipsenls a
most ohnotlp aspect. Vlstim of great strel
columns In all their ugly barrenness , wooden
Muglngs and supports , greet the eye In all
directions The heavy fatcrl work Is now
art In position with the PXIoption of < tli8
tower. Two-thirds nt the roof IB ready for
the slaterfc This rnof IB of concrete on top
of ntp < i | and the anil of next week will BI-O
this part of the work In n finished state.
When that I nut of the way the tower will
ho undertaken This , nlho , will bo of otppl
and will conform exactly to the lines of the
old ono. The great bo/1 was taken from its
retting place In OKI storehouse on Thurs
day and hol tr < l to the roof Work on the
tower wn of nccesBlty delayed until the root
wan practlrally finished , as the room was re-
qulnx ] for the swinging of the lingo derricks
to hoist material Into position The boll
will first bo placed In position and the work :
of building the tower about It will bo begun.
Then will como the plastering , the Interior
work , the grand cleaning up , and llnafly tha
more delicate work of reconstructing the
Interior to conform In every detail with Ita
uppearanco before the tearing down proceua
began.
