Hp Dili Ills nest, but (lie Old Vile.ni
Km Still StroiiK In 1 1 1 tn.
A man who lives there, relates the Lewis
ton (Me.) Journal, tells tne that the excite
ment up at Coombs Mills when Joe Kidder
was nnnounceel as being about to "come
out" the excitement. I say. entirely over
shadowed the Interest In the not'- war.
There Is a revival on up In Coombs Mills
school house revlvnl. There were twenty
nine who had announced their Intention of
leading a better Hfo up to the time that
Hrothcr Kidder said that he uas i;olng to
break away from the grip of sin.
Now, the conversion of the whole twenty
nine, didn't make the stir In town that the
coming out of Mister Kidder aroused. For
every one up that way knows Joe Kidder.
Terrible man ho Is. too, on n horse trade.
Why. it Is regarding him that thoy say the
old story originated e-xcuse me for telling
It. They said that onre, long back. Joo had
been converted, nnd that he had Bald that
If all the people he hnd cheated would come
around In tho morning ho would refund. One
party called him up at 3 o'clock that morn
ing. When Joe remonstrated, tho man nl
lowed that he thought he would come early
"In order to nvold the rush."
Tho minister to get hack to the account
of MlRter Kidder's conversions announced
Sundnv that on the following Wednesday
evening the well known brother, Joseph
Kidder, would arise In meeting and renounce
the ways of sin and would exhort all to
tho paths of repentance.
The standing room sign was out early on
that Wednesday evening. Fact Is. couldn't
half the people get In. There was a very
natural deslro on the part of those who
knew Mr. Joseph Kidder to hear what he
was going to say for himself. It didn't ap
pear to be possible that a man who had
been the sort of an Individual that Mr.
Kidder had prided himself oh being, wns
really going to renounce nil his evil prac
tices. Among other vires, Joseph was an In
veterate and vcrboso cursor. It didn't
seem possible for him to talk without
swenring. He swore without knowing that
ho did It.
And, lastly, Joseph had a haro Hp and
his oratorical effort was looked to with
especial Interest on that account.
Woll, at last the great moment arrived
and Joseph stood up In tho midst of tho
packed gathering of his neighbors. There
waH a hush In the air.
"Ilrother Kidder." said tho minister with
a bland and Ingratiating smile, "will now
tell you why he loves the Lord."
"Hlthlan huth'en and lusters, I heel
hat I hawnt hoc head a Hlthlan hlfo an'
"Amayn," cried an aged brother over In
the conner of tho school room; "Amayn,
Rrother Kidder. Hut won't ye please speak
up a dlte louder, so that these deaf old
oars over this way can hevr ye?"
Hrothor Kidder grew a little rod with
embarrassment and Impatience and started
In again.
"Hlthlan hnth en and hlsters. hi hawnt
hoo "
"Imen," shrilled an old lady over in the
other corner of tho room. "Hless tho Lord,
Ilrother Kidder, tint wo don't want to
miss a word of that testimony. Please
speak a little louder, brother."
Well, now, by this time Mr. Kidder, hy
naturo of a choleric and Impatient disposi
tion, commenced to get red behind tho
ears. Ho did what ho was arcustomed to
do all his life long he got mad. And he
whirled on his heel and glared nt tho room
ful of neighbors and friends until the glare
of his eyes terrified them. Then ho com
menced at the top of his voice:
"Hlthlan buth'en an' hlthers, HI hawnt
to head a Hlthlan hlfo. HAMN your ol'
souls, han hoo hunnerstan' hat?"
A Dislike- for Keollnni.
Washington Star: "The trouble with this
world," said the emphatic man, "Is thero
nro too many egotists In It."
"You dlBllko egotism?"
"I should say so. If thero Is anything
In tho world that annoys me It Is to think
of all those hundreds of peoplo going to an
olectlon nnd voting their own way when
I could tell them exactly what thoy ought
to do."

Amlel), ItpnllsliiK Whnt
II .Menu In Tin-in.
NKW YORK, Sept. lfi. (Special.) Henry
Clews, head of tho banking house of Henry
Clews & Co., writes of the situation In Wall
street:
The stock market has been singularly In
different to news e.f all sorts, litvfirabie or
unfavorable, nnd transactions rtavo
on an exceedingly limited scnle. Al tlio
moment tin- Chinese, situation has no effect
whatever, nlthounh developments In lii.it
umirter lime been more assuring. The N;
Lnglnntl elections it ml the nwull disaster
In icxas had equally suiall inllueiue. In
short, prices showed a reinat kably llrm undertone-,
but no one Is llltelv to buy stocks
tor the rise- with any ireedom until tins
outcome ot the election Is more certain Until
now appears. Uusinoss men realize that
sound money Is again tho chief issue unit
that Imperialism, trusts, etc . nro all "1
secondary Importance until tills supreme
ciuostlem is permanently settled, m tho face
ot such ti struKKle nnd remembering the
feverish suspense of W. when tho bnttio
tlrst began, it la not surprising that values
refuse to respond to the many favorabm In
Ilucnees outside of politics. There Is utill
the possibility of a decllno In the sound
money vote, bocuuse tiles peril now seems
moro remote, utul many who were InlHi
enced to vote In 1SS6 solely on that issue will
Imagine It safe to Ignore that issue now.
From this enusc and indifference-, also,
there Is decided danger of a gain In the
free' silver ranks nnd. ni the country knows
what to expe'cl In such nn event, prudence
ilii'intes . watting poiley until tho results
-.in no anticipated with some degree of
safetv. I'rcsliiential elections itnafiaiiiy ib -velop
surprises and, It these) should prove
to tie ot the disagreeable sort, the etfeet
would bo (llsasttous to any bull campaign.
Two or three weeks In nee the outiooK may
bo more clear. Monetary conditions are
ptovitig more favorable than expected. The
nurplus reserve stnfids at about Ko.imO.hhj,
against I2.l.ii.w0 last year ami $7,ti70,tjm the
yiat- tie-tore. Hankers lire lending with
more' freedom nnd rates are easy In spite nt
Increasing Interior eieniands. Foreign ex
change has also declined tinder Incteased
oll'e rings of cotnmetclal bills.
Iliisliirs Situation Is (Jniid.
Hack of nil the uncertainties which are
Just now holding Wall street In check Is
tho business situation, which, in all es
neiitlal respi cts, Is unite satisfactory. While
prices und proiils on niiinutactuitd nrllclu.e
are lower tnan a ear ago there Is u wel
come abatement ot that teverlh activity In
ibW, which, 11 long continued, would have
nutely pfoelpltuteii u sorlous reuctlon of
some sort, with nil the attendant evils ot
shutdowns, reduced wages, etc. That such
j. calamity has been averted Is certainly
good rcaMin tor congratulation. In place
of u sudden collapse we have had a gradual
decline In prices und moderate curtatlmuut
of production, so conducted us to re
rstatdlsli rather than destroy confidence .
Hrndstreots price index llgute touched Its
hlgln st on February 1, wnen It stood nt
!i3.in7. Since then there has been n continu
ous decline, though lately verj slow, until
on Peptenib.'f 1 tin- llgure wns Sii.681, a de
cline of 0.52i points. On September 1, IKHi,
the Index llgure was S4.ij4, so that prices m
generul are scarcely 2 points higher than a
year ago. Should business revive, ns now
seems likely, It is iUe-sllonable If the down
ward movement will go any further, saving
where prices In some lew Instances are still
comparatively high.
Another ve-ry autlsfnctory Indication of
business conditions is the clearing house re
turns troni all parta of the country, except
the llnnni'lnl centers, such as New York,
liostun, Philadelphia, etc., where, for rea
sons well known, tho returns show n de
crease. For Instance, during the eight

Notwithstanding the fact that the fine
weather of yesterday attracted many per
sons to the boulevards and many others
to the opening of a theatrical season, thero
was a good slied audience at the concerts
given at the pavilion by the Hellstedt
band. The principal feature of the even
ing program was the "1M2" overture by
Tschnlkowsky and the excerpts from Mas
senet's "Scenes Plttoreso,ues" und from the
Otleg suite of "Peer Oynt" were Interest
ing. In the afternoon many persons were
noticed In the audience whoso ability finds
engagement at tho evening hours In prom
inent churches.
Tho "l'olacca Drlllante" of Weber has
been extensively noticed In this column and
It can bo passed over with the remark that
Mr. Hellstedt's ingenious arrangement was
heartily received. The overture of Suppe,
whlrh responds to the title of "Juanlta,"
was listened to with some Interest by th.
audience, which was later very distinctly
v. ear led hy the disconnected nnd unlnter
cftlng music of the "Queen of Sheha." not
withstanding Gounod's signature therto at
tached. Tho "Last Hope" of Oottschalk made a
pleasing number In tho flrst part and one
which served to display some Interesting
work hy fluto nnd piccolo soils!, in the
brilliant but frlll-llkc obllgatos to tho ten
der theme.
Jn the second part the attractive num
ber was the "Lohengrin" music. Theso
excerpts are splendid representatives of
the leading themes of tho beautiful musle
drama founded on the old legend of KIsa
and Lohengrin. The solo by Mr. Hellstedt
was thn pver popular "Lost Chord." by
Sir Arthur Sullivan. I gave nn oppor
tunity for the clever little corncllst, James
Llewellyn, to wield the baton, and Mr.
Ilollstedt produced some mighty tones on
his Instrument, playing with thorough In
terpretation of Adelaide Procter's famous
song. One Is disappointed, however, by
the fact that In the last part tho crescendo
Is given out much loo soon, with the re
sult that the expected climax at the end
Is conspicuous by Its absence.
The grand polonaise In V. minor, bv
Liszt, pleased the Knowing ones and the
brilliant Hungarian dance, by (Irnssman.
closed the progrnm.
Mr. Hellstedt was very generous In the
matter of encores and not the least In
teresting was the technique tone ami tem
perament displayed by Mons DeMnre In
the exquisite number, "Wo hnst du den
Hut her?"
The programs for today are as follows:
2:30 p. ni :
March Imperial Chasseurs Kllenbcrs

7:30 p. m.: Grnnd rag-time concert.
"Thr Hottest Coon In Dixie"
Thero Isn't much to bo snld either for
or against the rather characterless enter
tainment which, under tho nbove caption,
wns tho offering nt lVsyd's yesterday. The
piece Is BtilllclenUy described In Its title
ns It was seen here but a few months ngo
and as the engagement closed with last
night's performance, there Is no necessity
for extended comment.
In a general way, however. It may be
said thnt the piece Is rather better than
last soason. Of course there wns tho In
evitable flood of inanity, commonly des
ignated as "rag-lime," that wns to be ex
pected. It was as driveling as "rag-time"
usually Is; that was also to be expected.
Hut there were one or two folk-songs that
were full of the plaintive harmonics thnt
arc characteristic of the colored race nnd
they were admirable. Some good buck
dancing and several passable spocialtlcs
completed the program.

The opening of the Crelghlon-Orpheum
Sunday afternoon and evening was most
auspicious, the ticket rack went dry and
the box office handed out all the stand
ing room thero wns In the house. The
management wus fortunate In opening Us
srnson with the cream of the Orpheura
circuit and even the fillers were for the
most part tolerable.
An old acquaintance to the crowd wns
Kddle fiirard, who was assisted by Jesslo
(inrdner. (Ilrard has n grievance against
11 thousand farces nnd comic operas for
ruining his first and original conception
of the Irish policeman, but the part has
still nn unvarnished look In his hands.
As the years pans on his facial muscles
are as mobile, his voice as soft and In
sinuating and his style as easy as over.
Jesslo (Jardner sang several songs very
acceptably.
Miss Julia Klngsley. with two assistants,
presented a brief farce, "Hor I'nclo's
Niece," with considerable dash. In the
pretense of a rage Miss Klngsley stormed
like n shrew untnmed to disconcert an un
welcome suitor and her work In general
wns carefully done. She was supported by
Nelson Lewis with n ghastly oglo nnd nn
exceptional smile, who looked, however,
somowhnt hotter than he did.
The most graceful and dainty turn nn
the bill was that of Mnlzie King, dancing
girl. There wns not a flaw In her work
nnd she might have danced as airily as
tho rest in a glado of tho "Midsummer
Night's Dream." Special scenery and elec
trical effects, more or less Impressive, wero
nrranged for the number and It scored an
entire success. The Meeker-Haker trio, a
combine of clowns, kept up a breathless
pane for an extended period and did one
or two good things. Cnrollno Hull showed
a deep, wcll-trntnod contralto voice In
several solos. Hollo Davis sang several
coon songs with vivacity nnd Introduced
throe small members of tho race in Philip
pine nnd other unsuitable costumes. The
athletic number was contributed by the
four Juggling Johnsons, club awlnging ex
perts, who showed conslderablo natural
ability. The program was concluded by tho
klnodromn, a vnrlatlon of no moving pic
ture machine. The most timely views on
the 111ms wero n sorles from the Paris
exposition.

A rreation of burlesque, vaudeville and
song, produced capably nnd artistically by a
big company of performers, was the offering
nt the Trocadero Sunday night by Watson's
Oriental Ilurlesquers. A crowd which filled
nearly every available spaco fairly spilt Its
sides In laughing nt the antics nnd Jargon
of Phil Mills, Ocrman comedian, listened
In unrestrained amusement to nny number
of paradoles on the popular songs of the
day and viewed with approval the fantastic
drills and handsome costumes of n tuneful
and shapely chorus. The performance opons
with a laugh-producing muslral skit, "A
Military Hop," and throughout this until the
curtain drops at tho end of threo hours'
time, there Is not a moment that the Inter
est of the audience descends from the high
est pitch. The Yalo sisters, wlnsnmo and
attractive, sing soveral late popular airs.
Phil Mills and Hnth Heecher present an ad
mirable character comedy sketch, "Flirta

Hei'cher's vocal selections Her splendid
contralto voire and Mr Mills' dialect com
