NEW YOUK , Nov. 2(1. ( ( Special. ) Henry
flews , head of the banking houao of Henry
Clews K. Co. . writes :
Blocks fluctuated within moderate limits
during the last week , nnd the only event of
Importritirp wns Secretary Oagi'3 offer to
liuv bonds for icllef of the money market.
Some surprise has lioeii expressed nt the
comparatively small nfftrliiBH of bond * ,
amounting lo nboiit $10.00(1,000 ( up to the dnte
of writing. It Bhould bo remembered , how
ever , that government bonds are often hew
for other reasons than prollt and by in
dividuals or Institutions that arc- not In-
Jlupm-Pd by temporary llm timt'.ons III the
money market. Tin- offer , too. came after
the worst of thp pinch wns over ; oiisler tou-
< llons ; : were in prospect and thp urgent de
mands for money generally camn from over-
InudPil holders of Industrtal securities who
Jinve no government bonds to sell and who
would have bom obliged to nny stiff rates
under any circumstances. There Is n not
able nbscnce of complaint from pommenr.nl
borrowers , who have no dllhculty In llnd-
Ing all reasonable accommodations at good
rut PS , which they willingly pay. Fairly hlRh
rates for money am likely to continue for
reasons now generally understood. Funds
will return slowly from the west ; January
disbursements W.ll soon havu to bo pre
pared for , and as yet thcro are no signs ot
nhntpmcnt In the great Industrial and com-
inprrlnl activity now In progress. The. diffi
culties of l.he situation were materially ag
gravated by the bt hind-dale methods of the
United States treasury , from which no
prent relief can be expected until the coun
try enacts n eomptehenalve olastlr currency
muleni , such as adopted 'by other enlight
ened nations. Meanwhile , the action of
Secretary Huge In offering to buy bonds will
in"ct the general approval of all fairly dis
posed ppo.nlp. Political criticism for such
was to be expected , and those who profited
by abnormal Interest rates would ot course ,
complain ; but. an the secretary's purpose
wan plainly to do nothing beyond counteract
ing Injurious effect of treasury operations ,
'to ' simply put relief within reach If neces
sary , his nclion was both wise and timely.
Had he refused such relief and a crisis tn-
fiued ho certainly would have Incurred the
Bcvt rest criticism for Inaction from nil
parties ? . Including those who now llnd fault.
Ill I2viip < * tiiiit Mood.
The market Is now looking forward to a
ii"w set of influences. Congress opens Dc-
( mber I , Monday , n week hence. Usually
this is ,1 period oC uncertainty and anxiety.
There is likely to be much less of the latter
than usual , ns both branches of the I'-Klsln-
lure will be much occupied with questions
a-rlntlng- our new dominions , which are
apt to be. . less disturbing to industrial and
invuu lal nfialrs than domestic legislation.
The sound money cause is likely to make
vonsIOi rnble progress In the com'.ng ses
sion , pub'llc ' sentiment now being emphatic
enough In demanding that the country be
established upon the gold basis beyond all
question. The sound money party has lost
a strong friend In the lute VIce President
Hobart , who will not only be remembered
as a high-minded gentleman and states
man , but for his timely support of honest
money during the presidential campaign ot
ISW5. President McKlnley Is expected to
vome out clearly for establishment ot the
gold standard In his annual message , and
thi ? only other question having nn Im-
imrtnnt bearing upon business will be the-
trust problem. In regard to the latter
th-rp is good ground for hoping that no
rash legislation will be attempted. The In
dustrial commission , whose opinion will
largely Influence congress , Is a body com
posed of able but conservative men , vary
ing In their opinions , but unlikely us n body
to rush Into hasty conclusions about condi
tions which are only partially cotnpic-
hended , nml which have not been fully
tested by experience. That legislative re
straint of some kind upon the power ot
trusts Is desirable Is not to be denied ; but
wholesale repression would ns seriously in
jure labor as cnpltnl. Fortunately pros-
pel Ity prevails everywhere and congress need
not be forced Into injurious extremes , such
as might be expected if Industrial stagna
tion nnd discontent were prevalent.
Aside from- the money situation the condi
tions aflcctini ; the stock market are gen
erally in favor of better prices. Earnings ot
both railroads and Industrials arc excellent ,
especially the.- latter ; In fact the earnings
of the iron and stxcl combinations are phe
nomenal , with the prospect ot continuing so
for month.t to come. The year 1900 is
practically certain to sec a higher range of
values. A few uncertainties oloud the
llnnnelal horizon , but they are * of a tem-
liornry character ; and , accidents excepted.
we look for a general advance as long as
the siip-culutlvo lenders llnd circumstances
favorable to some concerted action. At
present wo have only a traders' market and
Hie dally fluctuations , have little slgnltl-
cane e.
in tne IIP-UII or Uarrct A. Hobart we have
lost one of the best and noblest products of
American manhood. His sterling honesty.
his genial disposition , together with his
force of character , have made him one of
the marked mcn of the world. A man tried
tiy the lire , of adverse criticism attending nn
exrlWng national campaign , ho emerged
from the tight with the love of his friends
nnd the respect and admiration of his foes ,
and alike they now unite to mourn his loss
and honor his memory.

The market wlis decidedly nervous over

Fourteen Chicago Women Accept Of
fer * of Work Out Went.
Fourteen widows , all residents of Chicago ,
are lending valuable aid to the police of
that city In an endeavor to locate the where
abouts of John A. Smldt , who Is wanted
on a charge of having obtained a consider
able sum of money under false pretense ? ,
and whcse conduct leads to the suspicion
that ho may be a bigamist. Chief Klpley
placed enough credence In the reports which
have been made concerning Smldt to order
his arrest , reports the Chicago Chronicle ,
and the publication of his description In the
police bulletin.
According to the stories told Lieutenant
Joyce at central station by Mrs. Mead of
3122 Wabash avenue and Mrs. Schuman of
624 Sedgwlck street , Smldt appears to have
entered Into a deliberate scheme to obtain
money by playing on the feelings of widows
In search of employment. He made his
hoijie at the boarding house of Mrs. Camp
bell , 3122 Wabash avenue , nnd gave It out
that he waa rich and the owner of a pro
ductive vineyard at Salinas , Gal. His ob
ject In coming east , he said , was to engage
the services of a number of reliable women
whom ho was desirous of having work In i
the vineyard. He agreed to pay them $10
a week until they became adepts at. the
trade and required only that they pay one-
half of their railroad fare to the region of
grapes and wine.
Mrs. Mead and Mrs. Schuman eay the al
leged vlttculturlst collected $50 each from
thirteen widows at least , and In addition
obtained possession of their trunks under
the pretense of shipping them to California.
It appears that Mro. Mead met Smldt In
Mrs. Campbell's boarding house and agreed
to accept n position In his vineyard. She
gave him $50 and on Friday afternoon de
livered her trunk to an expressman , who
aald he had been sent by Smldt. To the
j police eho also confided that Smldt had
I promised to make her his wife one month
| from tbo date of her arrival In Salinas. It
_ , had been agreed that SUP was to meet him
at the Santa Fe depot , but when she ar
rived there she failed to obtain any trace
either of the winegrower or the trunk.
In her excitement she attracted the atten
tion of Mrs. Schlman , who was also searchIng -
Ing for a trunk , and Incidentally "a man
named Smldt" who had promised to give her
employment and make her his wlfo ono
week after she had been Installed In the
California vineyard. She had not given him
any money , however , promising to go
through the formality when she took the
train , for tho.west. Before the two women
left the depot they encountered twelve more
all seeking for Smldt , and the majority of
whom claimed to have given him $50 to bo
paid In railroad fares. Five or six of the
wooien , all of whom ealtl they were widows ,
claimed that Smldt bad married them In Chicago
cage at periods ranging fiom a month to
three days ago ,
The police were given the names of all the
; women and Detectives O'Hara and Morrlfsey
were sent to the depot In the hope ot locat
ing the expressman who carried the trunks.
Nothing could be learned of either , although
several of the women claimed to have so-n
their trunks being placed In one ofthe bag
gage cars. Supposing that Smldt would ar
rive before the departure of the train , they
made no attempt to have the baggage re
moved and seemed rather to enjoy the
promptness with which their belongings were
handled by the railroad employes ,
The police were told by Mrs. Mead that
Smldt had represented that ho had been em
ployed by the Philadelphia Constructloi com
pany for twenty-four years In the capacity
of superintendent and at the present tlmo
was overseeing the construction of a building
at 912 West Monroe street. The detectives
who visited the building found It In cour.a
of construction , but none of the employes
appeared to know anything concerning Smldt.
It appears that the latter advertised through
the medium of the dally papers for widows
I who were desirous of obtaining employment
and In this manner succeeded In estibllhlng
quite a correspondence. The police bjllavo
i that Smldt has left the city. He Is a Oer-
' man about 47 years old , weighs about 200
pounds pud dressed fashionably. Lieutenant
Joyce is endeavoring to locate the express
man who carried tbo trunks to tbo depot , In
the belief that he may be able to tell of the
movements of the vlneyardlst.

CATTLE There were no cattle here
today to amount to anything nnd not
enough to make a market , so that there
were no new features of Importance In the
trade.
The cattle market this week has boon In
rather peculiar condition , duo to the tact
that while the receipts at thin point have
been light there has been a large run at
eastern market points and lower nrlces ,
In consequence there has been nresented
at this point the unusual spectacle of light
receipts and lower prices on beef steers. As
a still further demoralizer was the fact that
the coming week contains a poultry holi
day , when beef will be In small demand.
Chicago reported for the week a break of
COctiJI.OO on half-fat cattle ( as compared
with the high time , and the market at
this point could safely be quoted 50c lower
on the same basis. Right good nnd well-
llnlshed cattle have not suffered very mucb
loss , though they , too , are a little lower.
It has been a slow , dull , nnd mean market
all the week and Just the kind of a market
that no one likes.
Cows and heifers have been In small
supply all the week , and good kinds of
cows firmed up a Httln the latter half of
the week , them being a gain probably of
about lOc. Canners have not shown nny
material change.
Stackers nnd feeders were In very small
supply , so that the market showed some
little gains the latter part of the week , and
nt tl'o close could safely be reported as 10 $
15c hither.
IIOtiB The market this morning opened
5c lower , even on the best loads , but be-
fnrn v llnrs were able to unload Itvn HffT
"ViC lower. As might be expected , the mar
ket was rather slow , as sellers were back
ward about making the concession. Still
buyers had the advantage of the fact that
It wan the last day of the week and as
Chicago was coming lower they were bear-
Ifh In the extreme and would take the hogs
at their prices or leave them alone. The
hogs sold largely nt ys.5 3.THf ; , as against
J3.SOff3.Sa yesterday.
The tendency of the hog market has been
lower this week. The week opened a little
strong and hogs sold a shade bettor on
Tuesday , but after that the tendency of
the market was steadily downward. It was
a shade lower each day until the last of
the week , when the decline was still greater ,
i so that for the week the market Is close

the deprecating manner nnd the coat , green
o\or the shoulders once the symbols of his
craft the now book agent steps nimbly out
of a coupe , clad In correct morning dress ,
faultlessly cloved , freshly Bhaven and
cravated , shining from his morning tub. Ho
bunds up an engraved card , somewhat In-
deflnlto as to Initials , and the mistress of
the house , at a less to think wlio would call
imIntroduced In the morning hours , con
cludes tUut ho must ho some forgotten friend
or cotillion partner whom she has naked to
call and whoso numn she has completely for
gotten. A glimpse at the shining coupe , with
the correct coachman and his correct whip
nt the correct angle , reassures her , nnd slio
Is more than ever convinced that the fault
Is hers. She goes down apologetically , and
when nho sees the face aho Is no better off
than before. It Is us unfamiliar as the name.
Hut the mysterious stranger's manners are
ns faultless us Ills dress , and he Is evidently
of her own set. He babbles of the weather ,
the last cotillion , the current society gossip ,
His hostess strives to entertain him , racking
her brain n to whom ha may he , nnd con
cealing sedulously from him that she ban not
yet iduced him.
After a half hour of this playing nt cross
purposes desperately uncomfortable ns fur
ns the hostuss , balancing on the edge of her
chair , Is concerned but apparently momenta
full of IOEO and comfort for the gentlemen
ho unfolds his business. The conversation
has drifted to the appointment of the house ,
nnd then , guided by the stranger's experi
enced tongue , to the library. Presently ho
asks ns to the standard editions his hostess
pCRsesscs , anil the lady , fitlll entirely un
conscious nnd preoccupied , tells him. At
this moment ho elects to mnko his coup
d'ctnt. Ho ( ells her the nnnio of the bis
Now York publishing firm for which he Is
traveling. Ho extols his wares and ho nwks
her llally to make a purchase. So fast docs
he talk Hint ho never allows her to voice
her protests or to gain her breath. She tiles
to order him from the house , but Instead ho
goes' to the door nnd beckons to the coach
man , who straightway brings -to the door a
neat dress-suit c.iso full of his master's
wares , nnd the horrified womnn Is obliged to
see him spread the books out In her parlor.
Tills man hnc now been operating In San
Francisco for some time , principally In the
wratern addition. He has met with great
success a success which warrants the coupe
nnd the other somowlint expensive accessories
series of his style of doing business.
Neither enanu l signs of "No peddlers , "
nor august butlers , nor cold-eyed ninlds
frighten this Ingqulous young man. Ho re
lics on his coupe , his clothes nnd his bit of
correctly engraved pasteboard , and so far
ho has not trusted In vain. Ladles who re-
celvo the card of nn unknown gentleman who
rides In a coupe had better beware.

. "It shows that God Is very near to us. "
Such was the comment made by one of the
nlsters of the Sacred Heart In St. Louis ,
after she hnd been speaking of what Is said
to be n miracle , at the convent of the Sacred
Heart order , In Maryvllle. Cloistered nnd
hidden from the public gaze as are. the nuns
of all communities , and especially retiring
as nro those of the Sacred Heart , the sisters
of thp Maryvllle convent made every effort to
keep secret this remarkable event , which took
place a month ago , reports thc > St. Louis
Olobe-Domocrat. Gradually , however ' , it has
become known. It was learned by'the children
of Iho convent school ; It reached the ears of
parish priests at nn ecclesiastical gathering
and has been told to the archbishop. The lack
of boasting and the pious quietness whlcl
kept the event unknown for many days after
It happened have tended to Increase credence
In the miraculous character of the curt
which has been accomplished , recalling the
while the words of Jesus who. after healing
the leper , said unto him , "See that thou tel
no man. "
The subject of the miracle for such it is
believed to bo by those who witnessed It
WBH Mine. Burke , a sister of the Sacrci
Heart , who lay sick , almost to death , nt
Omaha , early this fall. Her trouble com
menced with a pain in her side , and grad-
UnllV a Ilinin llnvnlnnpll whlnli n tilivalnln. . Ill
Omaha pronounced a tumor. At about this
tlmo Rev. Ilothor Burke of fhe Maryvllle
convent visited the house of the Sacred
Heart in Omaha. She was greatly distressed
over Mine. Uurke's condition and after con
sultation with the authorities In the Omaha
convent it was decided that the rcvcrcml
mother should bring Mme. Burke to St.
Louis for treatment by a physician of this
city. This was done. Dr. Adolphe L. Doyco
was requested to attend Mme. Burke and II
Is said that when he Eaw the case ho pro
nounced It cancer and advised an operation.
Dr. Boyco wan ready for the operation , but
[ he sisters asked him to wait nine days , till
the patient might be fortified by a novena
which they would offer In her behalf.
During this novena the intercession of
Blessed Mother Barat , who was the foundress
of the Sacred Heart order In 1800 In Franco ,
t being firsl given the French name , Sacre
} oeur , was prayed for. Since her death there
: ave been several evidences of what ap-
icarcd to be special graces granted through
ler. Intercession in answer to prayer. In
consequence of this she has reached the second
end step necessary toward canonization. The
first step gives the title of "Venerable , " the
second that of "Blessed" to the one thus
lonorcd. Next to this conies the full canon-
zalion. Another sister cf the Sacred Heart
order of early times , Mme. du Chcsne , has
) een similarly brought to the attention ot
ho Vatican and has received the title 01
'Blessed. " A convocation , at which the
cures and spiritual blefslngs attributed to
the Intercession of Mme. du Chcsno were
presented , was recently held at St.
Charles , Mo.
The Intercession of Blessed Mother Barat
was constantly prayed for by the sisters at
the Maryvlllo convent ; n garment which had
been worn by Mother Barnt was worn by
Mine. Burke ; but even with all. this devo
tion nnd tender care she continued to grow
worse. A malignant cancer develops rapidly
nnd when the nine days were ended It was
too late for un operation. All hope for 'as
sistance through human agency seemed to
have vanished. The patient lay on the verge
ot death. She cxprcrsed no fear of death ,
but said that , for the honor of Blessed
( Mother Barat , she had hoped that she might
live. Such a miracle as this would have
greatly helped the cause of canonization of
Iho revered mother. Them was nothing more
to be done for the suffering nun but to ad
minister the last sacraments.
Ono Friday morning she received holy
communion. Propped up by pillows on the
bed this small exertion scorned almost be
yond her streiiRth. All in the convent were
now prepared to hear of her death.
But in the sick room suddenly there was
a change , The emaciated look was gone from
the fnce. The eyes bccnmo bright. In a few
moments Mme. Burke arose the lump was
gone. She dressed herself and , unaided ,
walked out of the room and down the stairs.
When the doctor came it was his patient
who opened the door for hltn. She was en
tirely cured , nnd from that time , one month
ago , until the present , she has been well
and strong.
The mother superior of the Maryvlllo
convent , when nskcd concerning the au
thenticity of the story , snld that It wns true ,
but fiho earnestly requested that It he un
announced through the public press , as the
nuns hnd no desire to be known save
through tholr silent Inlluonce. Dr. Boyco
also admitted the remarkable occurrence ,
but declined lo discuss the matter without
the permission of the mother superior.
Ills grace , Archbishop Kaln , was BCCII nnd
gnvo a short rcaumo of ( lie reported healing ,
us ho had learned It while on a visit to the
convent. Ho seemed much nlcased over the
occurrence , but said that ho could not Bay
whether It wns a "real" mlrucio or not. "I
happened to bo down to the convent n day
or so ago , " his grace said , "nnd I wns told
the clrcumstnncis concerning the cure. Of
courKc , of my own knowledge I know noth
ing about it and am not prepared to say
whether It was a mlrnclo or not. Ono thing
I do know , nnd that Mine. Burke talked with
mu and told mo nil about It. She * eemod
perfectly well at thai time. "
