extremely unfavorable, more so than was fully

used up all that they had or surplus reserve. but
have actually encroached upon their reserve itself,
and are now below the limit prescribed by the
twenty-five Per Cent law--Ihe first time they have
done i'll the history OF the national bank system.
Until we have the Official figures OF the Clearing

national ban have dared TO infringe this salu-

'scapegoat" by the national banks for the purpose
OF keeping up their reserve while tempting that in

places, and after giving them a thrust
with a small knife, he disappears In the
most mysterious manner.
The police have made q dlligent
search for him, but up to the present
time have not been able to find him.
During the past month he has stabbed
about a dozen girls, and the people re-
siding In the quarter where this SAN
culinary youth makes his raids have
become so thoroughly alarmed TINT
they dare not allow the children to 60

Last night the bloodthirsty wretch
was ont again. knife in hand, and sue

and had only got a short distance from
the house when the boy sprang out
from behind a tree and cut her In the
face, infiioting a wound about two
inches IN length, which will leave a
scar for life. Shortly after this Anna

residing at No. 142 Remsen street, was
