Requests for Yale.

By the death of Mrs. Caroline M.
Street, of this city, which happened last
night, several requests valued at about
S25O,OOO go into effect in favor Of the
corporation and fellows of Yale college.
Among the pieces of property given by
husband and wife are the fve-story
building nearly opposite the college
know as the New Haven House, which
was built by Mr.. Street; the Street build
ing on the corner Chapel street and State;
the building occupied by the Union.
The money derived from the sale of the
New Haven House is to complete the
Yale Art building, that from the Union
building for the encouragement of art
in the college, and that from the Strt.et
building for the founding of the Titus
Street professorship in the Yale Theolo-
gical school. Mrs. Street was the moth

The Latest Swindle.

1t would seem hardly necessary to
caution people to beware of bogus
twenty-dollar gold pieces. The very
mention, like the opening of a negro.
comedians mouth, suggests a joke and
produces a gufaw Yet from two
adroit swindles which have recently
come under the notice of Mr.. George
NJ Loosely, ticket agent of the Chicago
& Rock Island railroad, it might be just
as well to do so. Nobody pretends to
pass twenty-dollar gold pieces these
days-that would challenge attention.
The operator is short of money, and
leaves his gold coin as pledge for So
in greenbacks. The two persons vic
timized came into possession of a coin
resembling gold, but of very light
weight and utterly valueless. Under
the Goddess of Liberty is an abbreviat-
ed Latin motto, and ON the diverse is
an eagle of small size, with more hash
ed Latin. The counterfeiter seems to
have had a delicacy in using the motto
of the genuine coin, " In God we
Trust. Rock Island (IN.) Union.

THE collapse of the State Savings
Bank of Chicago has thrown good
deal of new light upon The reckless man
ner in which such institutions are con-
Quoted and the little security afforded
the depositors. 1t seems there is a
statute of the United States making it
the duty of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency to report all information in re-
gard to the state savings banks of the
country, and in the last report of Comp
troller Knox there occurs this Informal
ton: 1.-The number of savings banks
having capital is %; their capital is
"$5,O10,354; taxable capital, 81, 1913, $40;
deposits, 500, 146, 64S, and taxable de-
"posits, S14,O15,273. The number of
savings banks without capital is sos;
their deposits, sS45,655,4 19, and their
taxable deposits, s100,6OS,736." This
is record which speaks for itself, and
in tones clearer than speech. Here we
have something over thousand millions
of deposits, more than nine-tenths of
which is in savings banks without
capitalr' 1t would not be possible to
imagine worse state of things. This
last Chicago swindle may be the means
of producing some reform by which de-
positors may be protected, but unless it
does people had better give savings
banks the other side of the street.
Money so deposited will be returned in
exceptional cases, but the general rule
will be that it will be lost.

1t seems highly probable that the
Mexican border troubles, the Indian
wars and the late strikes will cause the
next congress to increase the standing
army to $4,000 men at least. 1t is near
" certain that the president will ask
congress in his message for the increase
At no time since the war has there been
so much for the army to do as since the
adjournment of the last congress. Of
fetal intelligence from Washington
states that there are not in all the Indian
country three full regiments of soldiers
and since the return to this country of
Sitting Bulls band this force is entirely
inadequate to the duties required Oft.
The military officers of the government
say that they have not a sufficient force
in the Indian country to cope with chief
Joseph and are at present utterly power
less to prevent union of the bands of
Joseph and Sitting Bull which union it
is believed will soon be made All
these difficulties will be presented to
congress and that body will be asked
for remedy and the only remedy that
is likely to be effective is that of increas-
ing the army.

Suits Growing Out of the Strike.

1t appears that the New York Central
and Lake Shore roads have become in
volved in difficulty ina curious way on
account of the orders given by the
officials at the beginning of the recent
labor troubles. When William H. Van
derbilt learned that the men proposed
to strike, instead of waiting for them
TO do so. it is said that he telegraphed
all along the line Of the Central and
Lake shore to stop all the trains at mid
night, and would not allow them to run
until the difference between the men
and the corporations had been adjusted.
While the blockade was going on large
quantities of perishable freight was
ruined and great numbers Of cattle
either died from hunger and thirst OF
became unfit for the market If.the
trains had been stopped by the rioters
it would have been a question whether
the shippers of perishable freight could
have recovered from the companies
but. as the officials were responsible fo1
the detention, the lawyers say that the
corporations can be made to pay. Ship
pers have already sent in claims fol
damages.-New York Sun.

On the 21st of August Suleiman Pasha
began the struggle for the possession of
Schipka pass. The Russians held the
pass and were thoroughly fortified. For
nine days the battle ragged necessarily,
both sides losing heavily and both sides
receiving large reinforcements. The
latest and most reliable reports from
the field of conflict place the total loss
IN killed and wounded on the two sides
man Pasha's loss is fully $4,000. On
the 31st ult. the Russians still held the
pass, but the Turks had gained posses
sion of the heights on either side, and
had planted Krupp guns SO as to COM
mand the road for a distance of three
miles, thus rendering the pass worth
less to the Russians should they contin-
ue to hold their present Notifications.
This battle, which was so bitterly con-
tested that the killed and wounded
equaled one-third of the combined
armies beginning the engagement, has
considerably changed the aspect Of the
war. The mere fact that Turkey had
assumed the offensive was surprise to
all Europe, and the wonderful strength
of the Turkish army in and around Bull
garia has sadly disappointed Russia.
It is not unlikely now that the Rus
slams will withdraw from .Schipka and
turn their strength against Osman Pasha
who still holds Plevna and endeavor to
drive him from Bulgaria before winter
sets in. This will also be costly I'M
dertaking as Osman Pasha has recently
received large reinforcements from
Widdin, and the whole country west of
his army is a network of earthworks
and Notifications That the Russians
are concentrating in front of Osman
Pasha's army there is no doubt, and the
war correspondents all agree that ter
rible battle will occur in the vicinity of
Plevna very soon. Should this battle
not result in a great victory for Russia
the war will likely be at an end until
next season. The result of the cam
paigning during the present month will
be watched with a good deal of interest
by all the other nations of Europe.
